Synthesis of coumarins via palladium-catalyzed carbonylative annulation of internal alkynes by o-lodophenols
Kadnikov, Dmitry V.,Larock, Richard C.

(matrix presented) A variety of substituted coumarins have been prepared in good yields by the palladium-catalyzed coupling of o-iodophenols with internal alkynes and 1 atm of carbon monoxide. Unlike most of the previous work on the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of alkynes, the insertion of the internal alkyne occurs in preference to the insertion of CO.
Selective production of methoxyphenols from dihydroxybenzenes on alkali metal ion-loaded MgO

Selective O-methylation of dihydroxybenzenes (DHBs; catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone) to methoxyphenols (MPs) was carried out with dimethylcarbonate on MgO and alkali metal ion (Li, K, and Cs)-loaded MgO between 523 and 603 K. Catalytic activity and product selectivity varied with respect to DHB substrates. Selectivity for O-methylated products increased with increasing basicity of alkali ions; however, K-MgO showed high and stable activity toward MPs. Selectivity for MPs obtained from three substrates increased in the following order: catechol 2 followed by air and 13C CP-MAS NMR measurements indicated the nature of deposited carbon to be molecular species, graphite, MgCO3 and polyaromatics. XPS revealed the nature and availability of active sites on the spent catalysts, as well as the same changes with reaction conditions and correlated with catalytic activity.
Imidazolium-urea low transition temperature mixtures for the UHP-promoted oxidation of boron compounds

Different carboxy-functionalized imidazolium salts have been considered as components of low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) in combination with urea. Among them, a novel LTTM based on 1-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and urea has been prepared and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry throughout its entire composition range. This LTTM has been employed for the oxidation of boron reagents using urea-hydrogen peroxide adduct (UHP) as the oxidizer, thus avoiding the use of aqueous H2O2, which is dangerous to handle. This metal-free protocol affords the corresponding alcohols in good to quantitative yields in up to 5 mmol scale without the need of further purification. The broad composition range of the LTTM allows for the reaction to be carried out up to three consecutive times with a single imidazolium salt loading offering remarkable sustainability with an E-factor of 7.9, which can be reduced to 3.2 by the threefold reuse of the system.
Evaluation of 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP) as a protecting group for phenols: Stability to ortho-lithiation conditions and boiling concentrated hydrobromic acid, orthogonality with most common protecting group classes, and deprotection via Cope elimination or by mild Lewis acids

A new protecting group, 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP), was evaluated as a protecting group for phenols. The PIP group was stable to ortho-lithiation conditions and refluxing with concentrated hydrobromic acid. Deprotection was accomplished by two routes, oxidation to N-oxides followed by Cope elimination (CE) and subsequent hydrolysis or ozonolysis of the vinyl ether or one-step deprotection by BBr3?Me2S. The PIP group is orthogonal to the O-benzyl, O-acetyl, O-t-butyldiphenylsilyl, O-methyl, O-p-methoxybenzyl, O-allyl, O-tetrahydropyranyl and N-t-butoxy carbonyl groups. The CE step was systematically studied and was found to give higher yields when the reaction was performed in the presence of silylating agents.

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a powerful strategy for incorporating a heteroatom into an aromatic ring by displacement of a leaving group with a nucleophile, but this method is limited to electron-deficient arenes. We have now established a reliable method for accessing phenols and phenyl alkyl ethers via catalytic SNAr reactions. The method is applicable to a broad array of electron-rich and neutral aryl fluorides, which are inert under classical SNAr conditions. Although the mechanism of SNAr reactions involving metal arene complexes is hypothesized to involve a stepwise pathway (addition followed by elimination), experimental data that support this hypothesis is still under exploration. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggest either a stepwise or stepwise-like energy profile. Notably, we isolated a rhodium η5-cyclohexadienyl complex intermediate with an sp3-hybridized carbon bearing both a nucleophile and a leaving group.
