7. A conceptually unique but related strategy called cascade catalysis refers to the use of several different catalysts in one-pot procedures to catalyze mechanistically distinct steps of a cascade reaction. The approach presented here is fundamentally different but could, in theory, be used in combination with cascade catalysis.

21. Authentic samples of m- and p-methoxyphenyl products 1h were used in these experiments. Each of the three isomers (o-, m-, and p-substituted 1h) were treated with 1-8 equiv of CAN in MeCN/water or MeOH/water at temperatures ranging from -12 °C to rt, under an atmosphere of nitrogen, and also in air. All reactions afforded intractible mixtures containing a poor yield of the desired product. For leading references on N-dearylation, see: (a) Sakai, T.; Yan, F.; Uneyama, K. Synlett 1995, 753.
