The catalyst system shows excellent functional groups compatibility for a wide range of testing substrates, even the substrates bearing oxidationsensitive groups such as MeS-, alkenyl and --NH2 can also work well. In addition, the protocol is readily scaled up to more than 20 g and the product can be obtained just through filtration or distillation without conventional column chromatography.展开更多
