- Direct Acetoxylation of Arenes
-
Acetoxylation of arenes is an important reaction and an unmet need in chemistry. We report a metal-free, direct acetoxylation reaction using sodium nitrate under an anhydrous environment of trifluoroacetic acid, acetic acid, and acetic anhydride. Arenes (31 examples), with oxidation potentials (Eox, in V vs SCE) lower than benzene (2.48 V), were acetoxylated with good yields and regioselectivity. A stepwise, single electron-transfer mechanism is proposed.

- Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of 2-oxo-2H-chromenyl and 2H-chromenyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates
-
Cycloaddition reaction of 4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehydes (3a-g) and 4-chloro-2H-chromene-3-carbaldehydes (7a-h) with activated alkynes (4a-b) provided the 2-oxo-2H-chromenyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates (5a-n) and 2H-chromenyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates (8a-p). All the prepared compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory activity. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity data demonstrated that the compounds 5g, 5i, 5k-l and 8f are effective among the tested compounds against TNF-α (1.108 ± 0.002, 0.423 ± 0.022, 0.047 ± 0.001, 0.070 ± 0.002 and 0.142 ± 0.001 μM) in comparison with standard compound Prednisolone (0.033 ± 0.002 μM). Based on in vitro results, three compounds (5i, 5k and 8f) have been selected for in vivo experiments and these compounds are identified as better compounds with respect to anti-inflammatory activity in LPS induced mice model. Compound 5i was identified as potent and showed significant reduction in TNF-α and IL-6.

- Substrate substitution effects in the Fries rearrangement of aryl esters over zeolite catalysts
-
The catalytic transformation of aryl esters to hydroxyacetophenones via Fries rearrangement over solid acids is of interest to avoid the use of corrosive and toxic Lewis and Br?nsted acids traditionally applied. Microporous zeolites are known to catalyze the reaction of simple substrates such as phenyl acetate, but their application to substituted derivatives has received limited attention. To refine structure-activity relationships, here we examine the impact of various parameters including the solvent polarity, water content, acidic properties, and framework type on the reaction scheme in the Fries rearrangement of p-tolyl acetate over common solid acids. The results confirm the importance of providing a high concentration of accessible Br?nsted acid sites, with beta zeolites exhibiting the best performance. Extension of the substrate scope by substituting methyl groups in multiple positions identifies a framework-dependent effect on the rearrangement chemistry and highlights the potential for the transformation of dimethylphenyl acetates. Kinetic studies show that the major competitive path of cleavage of the ester C-O bond usually occurs in parallel to the Fries rearrangement. The possibility of sequentially acylating the resulting phenol depends on the substrate and reaction conditions.

- Highly efficient and recyclable acetylation of phenols and alcohols by nickel zirconium phosphate under solvent-free conditions
-
Nickel zirconium phosphate nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of a wide range of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The steric and electronic properties of the different substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions required to achieve the acetylation. The catalyst used in the current study was characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. This nanocatalyst could also be recovered and reused at least six times without any discernible decrease in its catalytic activity.

- Acetylation of alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions using iron zirconium phosphate
-
Iron zirconium phosphate (ZPFe) nanoparticles were found to function as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of a wide range of alcohols and phenols using acetic anhydride, generating good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The steric and electronic properties of various substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions required to achieve the acetylation. The catalyst used in the current study was characterized by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These analyses revealed that the interlayer distance in the catalyst increased from 7.5 to 9.3 ? when Fe3+ was intercalated between the layers, whereas the crystallinity of the material was reduced. This nanocatalyst could also be recovered and reused at least six times without any discernible decrease in its catalytic activity. This new method for the acetylation of alcohols and phenols has several important advantages, including mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions, as well as good to excellent yields and a facile work-up.

- 4-(N,N -dimethylamino)pyridine hydrochloride as a recyclable catalyst for acylation of inert alcohols: Substrate scope and reaction mechanism
-
4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)pyridine hydrochloride (DMAP·HCl), a DMAP salt with the simplest structure, was used as a recyclable catalyst for the acylation of inert alcohols and phenols under base-free conditions. The reaction mechanism was investigated in detail for the first time; DMAP·HCl and the acylating reagent directly formed N-acyl-4-(N′,N′-dimethylamino) pyridine chloride, which was attacked by the nucleophilic substrate to form a transient intermediate that released the acylation product and regenerated the DMAP·HCl catalyst.

- Acetylation of alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions using copper zirconium phosphate
-
Copper zirconium phosphate nanoparticles have been used as an efficient catalyst for the acetylation of a wide range of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The steric and electronic properties of the different substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions required to achieve the acetylation. The catalyst used in the current study was characterized by inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These analyses revealed that the interlayer distance in the catalyst increased from 7.5 to 8.0 ? when Cu2+ was intercalated between the layers, whereas the crystallinity of the material was reduced. This nanocatalyst could also be recovered and reused at least six times without any discernible decrease in its catalytic activity. This new method for the acetylation of alcohols and phenols has several key advantages, including mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions, as well as good to excellent yields and a facile work-up.

- Rice husk: Introduction of a green, cheap and reusable catalyst for the protection of alcohols, phenols, amines and thiols
-
A mild, efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the chemoselective protection of benzylic and primary and less hindered secondary aliphatic alcohols and phenols as trimethylsilyl ethers and different types of amines as N-tert-butylcarbamates is developed using rice husk (RiH) as the catalyst. This reagent is also able to catalyze the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines with acetic anhydride. Easy work-up, relatively short reaction times, excellent yields and low cost, availability and reusability of the catalyst are the striking features of this methodology, which can be considered to be one of the best and general methods for the protection of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines. In addition, the use of a green reagent in the above-mentioned reactions results in a reduction of environmental pollution and of the cost of the applied methods.

- Ipso Nitration. Solvolytic Behavior of 1,4-Dimethyl-4-nitrohexadienyl Acetate and 1,4-Dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexadienol
-
The solvolytic rearomatizations of the E and Z isomers of 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexadienyl acetate (1) have been examined in aqueous ethanol and in sulfuric acid solutions.Solvolysis of 1 in aqueous ethanol involves the elimination of nitrous acid and the migration of the acetoxyl group to yield 2,5-dimethylphenyl acetate.The kinetic behavior of this solvolytic reaction parallels that of the secondary adduct 4-nitro-3,4,5-trimethylcyclohexadienyl acetate (2).No kinetic isotope effects were detected when 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexadienyl-2,3,5,6-d4 acetate (1-d4) or 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexadienyl-Me-d6 (1-d6) were used as substrates.The collected data suggest a rate-limiting loss of nitrile ion from 1 followed by migration of the acetoxyl group and proton loss.The behavior of Z and E isomers of 1,4-dimethyl-4-nitrocyclohexadienol (3) in aqueous ethanol differs from that of 1 in several ways.The major product of solvolysis is 2,4-dimethylphenol.The rates of solvolysis of the stereoisomers of 3 do not differ appreciably one from another, and the spectral yield is only 30-40percent of that anticipated.These differences are taken to reflect a rate-limiting migration in the solvolysis of 3 rather than a rate-limiting loss of nitrate ion.Solvolysis of 1 in greater than 77percent sulfuric acid gives 1,4-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzene in quantitative yield.The yield of nitro aromatic falls off smoothly as the acid concentration is lowered toward 50percent.Within the 70-50percent acid range, the yield of side-chain substitution products appears to increase, hold roughly constant, and then decrease.Larger yields of nitro aromatic and smaller yields of side-chain substitution product are found when 1-d6 is used as a reactant.The solvolyses in strong acids are discussed in terms of re-formation of the ipso ion and subsequent partitioning.
