Novel highly regioselective VO(acac)2/TBHP mediated oxidation of o-alkenyl phenols to o-hydroxybenzyl ketones
Lattanzi, Alessandra,Senatore, Antonello,Massa, Antonio,Scettri, Arrigo
, p. 3691 - 3694 (2003)
A novel mild methodology for the preparation of o-hydroxybenzyl ketones is described starting from o-alkenyl phenols and based on the VO(acac)2/TBHP (2 mol %/1.2 equiv) system. VO(acac)2 first catalyzes the epoxidation of o-alkenyl phenols and then the rearrangement of the epoxyphenols to ketones via the selective benzylic C-O cleavage and 1,2 hydride migration. The protocol has also been applied to set up a useful and easy one-pot conversion of o-alkenyl phenols to benzo[b]furans by means of the sequential addition of TFA, after the generation of the intermediate o-hydroxybenzyl ketones.
Primary kinetic hydrogen isotope effects in deprotonations of a nitroalkane by intramolecular phenolate groups
Backstroma, Nicholas,Burtona, Neil A.,Watta, C. Ian F.
, p. 711 - 722 (2010)
Rate constants and kinetic isotope effects have been determined for the formation of nitronate anions from the ethers 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2- nitropropane, 7(X=H, L=H and D) and 1-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-2-nitropropane, 7(X=NO2, L=H and D), and from the corresponding phenols, 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitropropane, 3(X=H, L=H and D), and 1-(2-hydroxy-5- nitrophenyl)-2-nitropropane, 3(X=NO2, L=H and D), in aqueous basic medium. For the ethers 7, rates of deprotonation by hydroxide are comparable with those found for deprotonations of 2-nitropropane, with kH/k D (25 °C)=7.7 and 7.8, respectively. In both the cases, the isotope effects are conventionally temperature dependent. For the corresponding phenols 3, conditions have been established under which the deprotonations of the nitroalkane are dominated by intramolecular deprotonation by the kinetically first-formed phenolate anion, with an estimated effective molarity EM ～ 250. For 3 (X=H, L=H or D), kH/kD (25 °C)=7.8, with EaD - EaH =6.9 kJ mol-1 and AH/AD=0.5. For 3(X=NO2, L=H or D), rates of intramolecular deprotonation are reduced 30-fold, and an elevated kinetic isotope effect is found (kH/kD (25 °C)=10.7). Activation parameters (EaD - EaH =17.8 kJ mol-1 and AH/AD=0.008) are compatible with an enhanced tunnelling contribution to reactivity in the H-isotopomer. Copyright
Mechanistic insights into the palladiumII-catalyzed hydroxyalkoxylation of 2-allylphenols
Thiery, Emilie,Chevrin, Carole,Le Bras, Jean,Harakat, Dominique,Muzart, Jacques
, p. 1859 - 1862 (2007/10/03)
The Pd(OCOCF3)2/[(HOCH2CH 2NHCOCH2)2NCH2]2- catalyzed oxidation of o-allylphenol with H2O2 in water/methanol affords a syn and anti mixture of 2-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)phenol and 2-(2-hydroxy-1-methoxypropyl)phenol. Mechanistic experiments and ESI-MS studies support a pathway wherein isomerization of the C=C bond followed by its epoxidation and oxirane opening led to the products. Recycling of the catalytic system led to gradual lost of activity.

Mass spectrometric investigations on phenylacetic acid derivatives, IV: Loss of ortho-substituents from ionized phenyl-2-propanones upon electron impact
Striegel,Mayer,Wiegrebe,Schlunegger,Siegrist,Aebi
, p. 751 - 760 (2007/10/02)
In the gas phase, the phenyl-2-propanone molecules 2a-4a lose upon electron impact chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-radicals specifically at the orthopOsition of the phenyl group giving rise to strong (M-Hal.)+-ions (70/12 eV; 1st and 2nd FFR) of identical structure as confirmed by their MIKE-CAD-spectra. The daughter ions at m/z 133 from o-chlorophenyl-2-propanone (2a) and 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro[b]furane (11) are structurally similar but not identical (similarity index 99.8). The collisionally activated (2nd FFR) (M-Br.)+-ions from o-bromophenyl-2-propanone (3a) and 1-bromo-1-phenyl-2-propanone (12) produce virtually congruent spectra. The most impOrtant subsequent fragmentation of the (M-Hal-)+-ions from 2a-4a is the loss of CO which incorporates the C-atom of the carbonyl group exclusively (13C labelling). Mechanistic aspects of the fragmentation sequences are discussed (Figs. 5 and 8).
