- Oxidative esterification of alcohols by a single-side organically decorated Anderson-type chrome-based catalyst
-
The direct esterification of alcohols with non-noble metal-based catalytic systems faces great challenges. Here, we report a new chrome-based catalyst stabilized by a single pentaerythritol decorated Anderson-type polyoxometalate, [N(C4H9)4]3[CrMo6O18(OH)3C{(OCH2)3CH2OH}], which can realize the efficient transformation from alcohols to esters by H2O2oxidation in good yields and high selectivity without extra organic ligands. A variety of alcohols with different functionalities including some natural products and pharmaceutical intermediates are tolerated in this system. The chrome-based catalyst can be recycled several times and still keep the original configuration and catalytic activity. We also propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism and prove the potential for industrial applications.

- IrIII-Catalyzed direct syntheses of amides and esters using nitriles as acid equivalents: A photochemical pathway
-
An unprecedented IrIII[df(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6-catalyzed simple photochemical process for direct addition of amines and alcohols to the relatively less reactive nitrile triple bond is described herein. Various amides and esters are synthesized as the reaction products, with nitriles being the acid equivalents. A mini-library of different types of amides and esters is made using this mild and efficient process, which uses only 1 mol% of photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ = 445 nm). The reaction strategy is also efficient for gram-scale synthesis.

- Preparation method for synthesizing ester compound by using N-Boc amide as raw material
-
The invention relates to a preparation method for synthesizing an ester compound by using N-Boc amide as a raw material. According to the method, an inorganic base is used as a catalyst; the N-Boc amide is subjected to an intermolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction with various alcohol compounds; and various ester compounds can be efficiently obtained. The method has the advantages of beingmild in reaction condition, simple and convenient to operate, high in yield and favorable in functional-group compatibility.

- Cesium Carbonate Catalyzed Esterification of N-Benzyl- N-Boc-amides under Ambient Conditions
-
We report a general activated amide to ester transformation catalyzed by Cs2CO3. Using this approach, esterification proceeds under relatively mild conditions and without the need for a transition metal catalyst. This method exhibits broad substrate scope and represents a practical alternative to existing esterification strategies. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated via the facile synthesis of crown ether derivatives and the late-stage modification of a representative natural product and several sugars in reasonable yields.

- Aldehydes as potential acylating reagents for oxidative esterification by inorganic ligand-supported iron catalysis
-
The oxidative esterification of various aldehydes with alcohols could be achieved by a heterogeneous iron(iii) catalyst supported on a ring-like POM inorganic ligand under mild conditions, affording the corresponding esters, including several drug molecules and natural products, in high yields. ESI-MS and control experiments demonstrated that POM-FeV(O) was the active catalytic species and the plausible mechanism was presented. More importantly, the 6th run of the iron catalyst recycles shows only a slight decrease in the yield.

- Esterification of Tertiary Amides by Alcohols Through C?N Bond Cleavage over CeO2
-
CeO2 has been found to promote ester forming alcoholysis reactions of tertiary amides. The present catalytic system is operationally simple, recyclable, and it does not require additives. The esterification process displays a wide substrate scope (>45 examples; up to 93 % isolated yield). Results of a density functional theory (DFT) study combined with in situ FT-IR observations indicate that the process proceeds through rate limiting addition of a CeO2 lattice oxygen to the carbonyl group of the adsorbed acetamide species with energy barrier of 17.0 kcal/mol. This value matches well with experimental value (17.9 kcal/mol) obtained from analysis of the Arrhenius plot. Further studies by in situ FT-IR and temperature programmed desorption using probe molecules demonstrate that both acidic and basic properties are important, and consequently, CeO2 showed the best performance for the C?N bond cleavage reaction.

- Cross-Dehydrogenating Coupling of Aldehydes with Amines/R-OTBS Ethers by Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis: Synthesis of Amides, Esters, and Ureas
-
A straightforward synthesis of amides, ureas, and esters is reported by visible-light cross-dehydrogenating coupling (CDC) of aldehydes (or amine carbaldehydes) and amines/R-OTBS ethers by photoredox catalysis. The reaction is found to be general and high yielding. A plausible mechanistic pathway has been proposed for these transformations and is supported by appropriate controlled experiments.

- An efficient iron catalyzed regioselective acylative cleavage of ethers: Scope and mechanism
-
A method involving iron catalyzed acylative cleavage of cyclic and acyclic ethers with acyl/aroyl chlorides has been studied to produce chloroesters and esters respectively. Examination of the scope revealed that less electron rich alkyl group in unsymmetric, acyclic ether was acylated while the chloride derived from the counterpart moiety was volatile and difficult to isolate. In contrast, α-branched cyclic ethers were converted to the corresponding primary ester and secondary chloride. Steric hindrance of ether also plays an important role in acylative C-O bond cleavage. The mechanism of ether cleavage is proposed to involve a single electron initiated SN1 dissociative pathway.

- Bi(III) halides as efficient catalysts for the O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans: An expeditious entry to tetralins
-
The mild (DCM/20°C), quantitative, regioselective, O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans using organic acid halides with catalytic Bi(III) halides is reported. X-ray crystallography is used to rationalise the failure of the reaction in the case of certain crowded acid chlorides, and a useful aspect of chemoselectivity is revealed. The synthetic potential of this reaction is illustrated with a highly efficient O-acylative cleavage/intramolecular alkylation approach to tetralins.
