- The Chemistry of Acylgermanes: Triacylgermenolates Represent Valuable Building Blocks for the Synthesis of a Variety of Germanium-Based Photoinitiators
-
The formation of a stable triacylgermenolate 2 as a decisive intermediate was achieved by using three pathways. The first two methods involve the reaction of KOtBu or alternatively potassium with tetraacylgermane 1 yielding 2 via one electron transfer. The mechanism involves the formation of radical anions (shown by EPR). This reaction is highly efficient and selective. The third method is a classical salt metathesis reaction toward 2 in nearly quantitative yield. The formation of 2 was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis measurements, and X-ray crystallography. Germenolate 2 serves as a starting point for a wide variety of organo-germanium compounds. We demonstrate the potential of this intermediate by introducing new types of Ge-based photoinitiators 4b-4f. The UV-vis absorption spectra of 4b-4f show considerably increased band intensities due to the presence of eight or more chromophores. Moreover, compounds 4d-4f show absorption tailing up to 525 nm. The performance of these photoinitiators is demonstrated by spectroscopy (time-resolved EPR, laser flash photolysis (LFP), photobleaching (UV-vis)) and photopolymerization experiments (photo-DSC measurements).

- A fast and practical synthesis of tert-butyl esters from 2-tert-butoxypyridine using boron trifluoride·diethyl etherate under mild conditions
-
A practical direct preparation of tert-butyl esters from 2-tert-butoxypyridine has been developed. This system features the use of boron trifluoride·diethyl etherate in toluene solvent to rapidly achieve the reaction at room temperature. Using this reaction protocol, a variety of tert-butyl esters were synthesized from several different carboxylic acids at high yields. This practical procedure provides a promising and effective approach to the protection of carboxylic acids with a tert-butyl group.

- Direct conversion of N -alkoxyamides to carboxylic esters through tandem nbs-mediated oxidative homocoupling and thermal denitrogenation
-
Treatment of N-alkoxyamides with NBS in toluene was found to conveniently afford the corresponding carboxylic esters, including those bearing a bulky or long-chain substituent, in satisfactory to excellent yields. This approach not only represents a convenient and economic approach to a direct transformation of an alkoxyamide moiety into the carboxylic ester functional group, via oxidative homocoupling and the subsequent thermal denitrogenation, but also facilitates the synthesis of sterically hindered carboxylic esters.

- Activated Basic Alumina Promotes a Mild, Clean and High-Yield Racemization-Free Synthesis of t-Butyl Esters from Chiral Acid Bromides and t-Butyl Alcohol
-
Esterification of a variety of acid bromides having even steric bulkiness with t-BuOH/activated basic alumina gave the corresponding t-butyl esters in good to excellent yields.In the case of chiral acid bromides, no racemization has been ascertained for the first time.

- Copper Ion Promoted Esterification of S-2-Pyridyl Thioates and 2-Pyridyl Esters. Efficient Methods for the Preparation of Hindered Esters
-
The esterification of the S-2-pyridyl thioates and 2-pyridyl esters with alcohols in acetonitrile is greatly facilitated by the addition of cupric bromide and copper ion is observed to catalyze the reaction.The ester formation is found to be sensitive to solvents, metal salts, and reaction temperatures.The esterification of S-2-pyridyl thioates is much more rapid than the esterification of 2-pyridyl esters under the reaction conditions employed.This method is exceedingly effective in the preparation of sterically hindered esters and has advantages over known methods in many respects such as high yields, the mildness of the reaction, and the rapidity of the reaction.

- Formation of Iodides and Esters from Alcohols and Tributyldiiodophosphorane and Diiodotriphenylphosphorane
-
Tributyldiiodophosphorane and diiodotriphenylphosphorane, prepared in situ from the corresponding phosphine and iodine, are generally able to convert primary and secondary alcohols into iodides at room temperature in diethyl ether or benzene containing two equivalents of hexamethylphosphoric triamide.Tertiary alcohols, as gauged by the lack of the reactivity of t-butyl alcohol, are, however, inert to this iodinating agents. 6-Hydroxyhexanoic acid yields a mixture of 6-iodohexanoic acid and 7-heptanolide.The first reagent also promotes facile condensation of secondaryand tertiary alcohols with carboxylic acids to form hindered esters in good yields.The phosphorane derived from tris(dimethylamino)phosphine and iodine, while less effective as an iodinating agent, rapidly converts 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid into 6-iodo-N,N-dimethylhexanamide, and hexanoic and benzoic acids into the corresponding N,N-dimethylamides in excellent yields at room temperature.Treatment of 3β-tosylocholest-5-ene with lithium iodide yields 3β-iodocholest-5-ene, and not 3α-iodocholest-5-ene, as previously reported.
