Selective hydrodeoxygenation of hydroxyacetophenones to ethyl-substituted phenol derivatives using a FeRu?SILP catalyst

The selective hydrodeoxygenation of hydroxyacetophenone derivatives is achieved opening a versatile pathway for the production of valuable substituted ethylphenols from readily available substrates. Bimetallic iron ruthenium nanoparticles immobilized on an imidazolium-based supported ionic liquid phase (Fe25Ru75?SILP) show high activity and stability for a broad range of substrates without acidic co-catalysts.

Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Highly Practical Ortho-Selective Monohalogenation and Phenylselenation of Phenols: Scope and Applications

An ortho-selective ammonium chloride salt-catalyzed direct C-H monohalogenation of phenols and 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) as the chlorinating agent has been developed. The catalyst loading was low (down to 0.01 mol %) and the reaction conditions were very mild. A wide range of substrates including BINOLs were compatible with this catalytic protocol. Chlorinated BINOLs are useful synthons for the synthesis of a wide range of unsymmetrical 3-aryl BINOLs that are not easily accessible. In addition, the same catalytic system can facilitate the ortho-selective selenylation of phenols.

The Multiple Facets of Iodine(III) Compounds in an Unprecedented Catalytic Auto-amination for Chiral Amine Synthesis

Iodine(III) reagents are used in catalytic one-pot reactions, first as both oxidants and substrates, then as cross-coupling partners, to afford chiral polyfunctionalized amines. The strategy relies on an initial catalytic auto C(sp3)?H amination of the iodine(III) oxidant, which delivers an amine-derived iodine(I) product that is subsequently used in palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings to afford a variety of useful building blocks with high yields and excellent stereoselectivities. This study demonstrates the concept of self-amination of the hypervalent iodine reagents, which increases the value of the aryl moiety.

Kinetics of chlorination of phenol and monosubstituted phenols by t-butyl hypochlorite in aqueous alkaline medium

The kinetics of chlorination of the parent and sixteen monosubstituted phenols (2-chloro, 2-methyl, 2-carboxy, 2-nitro, 3-chloro, 3-methyl, 3-carboxy, 4-fluoro, 4-chloro, 4-bromo, 4-methyl, 4-ethyl, 4-methoxy, 4-carboxy, 4-acetyl and 4-nitro) by t-BuOCl have been studied in aqueous alkaline medium. The rates of reactions show first order kinetics each in |t-BuOCl| and |XC 6H4OH| and inverse first order in |OH-|. Variation in either ionic strength or addition of reaction product has no significant effect on the rates of reactions, while lowering of the dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate. The rates are measured at different temperatures and the activation parameters for all the phenols computed. A mechanism involving the electrophilic attack of phenoxide ions by HOCl in the rate determining step is suggested. The rates decrease in the order: 3-CH 3 > 2-CH3 > 4-OCH3 > 4-CH3 > 4-C2H5 > H > 3-Cl > 3-COO- > 4-F > 2-COO- > 4-Br > 2-Cl > 4-Cl > 4-COO- > 4-COCH3 > 2-NO2 > 4-NO2. Hammett equation of the type, log k = -3.44 - 2.35 ρ is found to be valid for substituent effects. The enthalpy and entropy of activation are correlated.

Kinetics and mechanism of chlorination of phenol and substituted phenols by sodium hypochlorite in aqueous alkaline medium

The kinetics of chlorination of the parent and thirteen substituted phenols (2-methyl, 2-chloro, 2-carboxy, 3-methyl, 3-chloro, 3-carboxy, 4-methyl, 4-ethyl, 4-chloro, 4-bromo, 4-carboxy, 4-acetyl and 4-nitro phenols) by NaOCl have been studied in aqueous alkaline medium under varying conditions. The rates show first order kinetics each in [NaOCl] and [(X)C6H4(OH)] and inverse first order in [OH-]. Variation in ionic strength of the medium and addition of Cl have no significant effect on the rates of reactions. The rates of the reactions are measured at different temperatures and the activation parameters for all the phenols computed. A mechanism involving the electrophilic attack of the phenoxide ions by NaOCl in the rate determining step has been considered. The values of the pre-equilibrium and the rate determining steps have been calculated for all the phenols. The rates decrease in the order: 3-CH3 >2-CH3 >4-C2H5 = 4-CH3 >phenol >3-COO = 3-Cl > 2-COO >4-COO >2-Cl ? 4-Cl ? 4-Br > 4-COCH3 >4-NO2. Hammett plot of the type, log kobs = -2.88 -3.2980σ is found to be valid. The correlation between the enthalpies and the free energies of activations is reasonably linear with an isokinetic temperature of 300 K. Further, the energies of activation of all the phenols are optimised corresponding to the log A of the parent phenol through the equation, Ea = 2.303 RT (log A - log kobs). Similarly log A values of all the phenols are optimised corresponding to the Ea of PhOH through the equation, log A = log kobs + Ea/2.303RT. Ea increases with the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups into the benzene ring, while the introduction of the electron-releasing groups lowers Ea for the reaction. Similarly log A decreases with the substitution of electron-withdrawing groups, while log A increases on substitution with the electron-releasing groups.

Preparation of diphenolics

A process for the production of diphenolic compounds having a divalent bridge. A first disubstituted phenol is reacted with an aldehyde in the presence of a secondary amine and excess alcohol to form an ether intermediate. The ether intermediate is reacted with a phenol having an open ortho or para position to form a diphenolic.
