- Unexpected Mild Protection of Alcohols as 2-O-THF and 2-O-THP Ethers Catalysed by Cp2TiCl Reveal an Intriguing Role of the Solvent in the Single-Electron Transfer Reaction
-
A method for the conversion of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols into the corresponding THF ethers at room temperature and primary and secondary alcohols into the corresponding THP ethers, has been developed using titanium(III) species generated from a catalytic amount of titanocene dichloride or (4R,5R)-(-)-2,2-dimethyl-α,α,α′,α′-tetra(1-naphthyl)-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanolatotitanium(IV) dichloride:acetonitrile adduct together with manganese(0) as a reductant and bromoform in THF or THP as the solvent. A radical mechanism is proposed for this transformation revealing an intriguing role of the solvent in the single-electron transfer reactions catalysed by the low valent TiIII system. A set of primary, secondary and benzylic alcohols have been converted into the corresponding THF and THP ethers and tertiary alcohols into the corresponding THF ethers using a catalytic amount of titanium dichloride in good yields and mild reaction conditions.

- Magnetic nanoparticle-supported DABCO tribromide: A versatile nanocatalyst for the synthesis of quinazolinones and benzimidazoles and protection/deprotection of hydroxyl groups
-
1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane tribromide supported on magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs-DABCO tribromide) as a novel heterogeneous tribromide type compound was found to be an efficient and reusable nanocatalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones and 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles through oxidative cyclization of aldehydes with 2-aminobenzamides and 1,2-phenylenediamine, respectively. Also, MNPs-DABCO tribromide catalyzed trimethylsilylation/tetrahydropyranylation and desilylation/depyranylation of a wide variety of alcohols and phenols through changing the solvent medium at room temperature.

- Selective tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols using titanium(IV) salophen trifluoromethanesulfonate as an efficient catalyst
-
Titanium(IV) salophen trifluoromethanesulfonate, [TiIV(salophen)(OSO2CF3)2], as a catalyst enables selective tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran. Using this catalytic system, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, as well as phenols, were converted to their corresponding tetrahydropyranyl ethers in high yields and short reaction times at room temperature. Investigation of the chemoselectivity of this method showed discrimination between the activity of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols and phenols. This heterogenized catalyst could be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity. Copyright

- {[[K.18-Crown-6]Br3}n: A tribromide catalyst for the catalytic protection of amines and alcohols
-
{[K.18-Crown-6]Br3}n, a unique tribromide-type catalyst, was utilized for the N-boc protection of amines and trimethylsilylation (TMS) and tetrahydropyranylation (THP) of alcohols. The method is general for the preparation of N-boc derivatives of aliphatic (acyclic and cyclic) and aromatic, and primary and secondary amines and also various TMS-ethers and THP-ethers. The simple separation of the catalyst from the product is one of the many advantages of this method.

- A highly efficient and ecofriendly procedure for tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols in the presence of in-situ generated I2 under heterogeneous and neutral conditions
-
Molecular iodine generated in situ from Fe(NO3) 3?9H2O/NaI acts as a highly efficient catalyst for tetrahydropyranylation of various alcohols and phenols with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran in almost quantitative yields. The reaction occurs rapidly in dichloromethane at room temperature, and use of toxic molecular iodine is avoided.

- Efficient and convenient procedure for protection of hydroxyl groups to the THP, THF and TMS ethers and oxidation of these ethers to their aldehydes or ketones in [BPy]FeCl4 as a low cost room temperature ionic liquid
-
Alcohols were converted to the corresponding THP, THF or TMS ethers in high to excellent yields in 1-n-butylpyridinium chloroferrate media as a stable and low cost room temperature ionic liquid. In addition, oxidation of these ethers to their aldehydes or ketones without any overoxidation reactions in this ionic liquid was also performed.
