Light-Promoted Nickel Catalysis: Etherification of Aryl Electrophiles with Alcohols Catalyzed by a NiII-Aryl Complex

A highly effective C?O coupling reaction of (hetero)aryl electrophiles with primary and secondary alcohols is reported. Catalyzed by a NiII-aryl complex under long-wave UV (390–395 nm) irradiation in the presence of a soluble amine base without any additional photosensitizer, the reaction enables the etherification of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides as well as sulfonates with a wide range of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols, affording synthetically important ethers. Intramolecular C?O coupling is also possible. The reaction appears to proceed via a NiI–NiIII catalytic cycle.

Synthesis of aryl ethers from benzoates through carboxylate-directed C-H-activating alkoxylation with concomitant protodecarboxylation

One in, one out: In the presence of a copper/silver bimetallic catalyst system, aromatic carboxylate salts undergo ortho C-H alkoxylation with concomitant loss of the carboxylate directing group in a protodecarboxylation step (see scheme, FG=functional group). This process provides a convenient synthetic access to the important class of aromatic ethers from widely available carboxylic acids. Copyright

Zinc-catalyzed Williamson ether synthesis in the absence of base

A zinc-catalyzed Williamson ether synthesis is described with microwave heating in the presence of DMF or stirring in an oil-bath using THF as solvent and in the absence of base. Zinc powder was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of aromatic ethers using microwave heating in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide as well as under stirring in an oil-bath using tetrahydrofuran as solvent without any inorganic base. This method can be used for selective mono-, di- or tri-O-alkylations.
