Although aryl phosphates have been the subject of numerous experimental studies, far less data bearing on the mechanism and transition states for alkyl phosphate reactions have been presented. Except for esters with very good leaving groups such as 2,4-dinitrophenol, the monoanion of phosphate esters is more reactive than the dianion. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the hydrolysis of the monoanion species. 18O kinetic isotope effects in the nonbridging oxygen atoms and in the P-O(R) ester bond, and solvent deuterium isotope effects, have been measured for the hydrolysis of m-nitrobenzyl phosphate. The results rule out a proposed mechanism in which the phosphoryl group deprotonates water and then undergoes attack by hydroxide. The results are most consistent with a preequilibrium proton transfer from the phosphoryl group to the ester oxygen atom, followed by rate-limiting P-O bond fission, as originally proposed by Kirby and co-workers in 1967. The transition state for m-nitrobenzyl phosphate (leaving group pKa 14.9) exhibits much less P-O bond fission than the reaction of the more labile p-nitrophenyl phosphate (leaving group pKa = 7.14). This seemingly anti-Hammond behavior results from weakening of the P-O(R) ester bond resulting from protonation, an effect which calculations have shown is much more pronounced for aryl phosphates than for alkyl ones.

Reactivity of secondary N-alkyl acrylamides in Morita–Baylis–Hillman reactions

, p. 319 - 330 (2021/10/29)
The Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction of secondary N-alkyl acrylamides, discarded up to now from investigations of the scope of activated alkenes, was studied. Optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that a balance must be found between activation of the MBH coupling reaction and that of the undesired competitive aldehyde Cannizzaro reaction. Using 3-Hydroxyquinuclidine (3-HQD) in a 1:1 water-2-MeTHF mixture provides the appropriate conditions that were applicable to a wide range of diversely substituted secondary N-alkyl acrylamides and aromatic aldehydes, giving rise to novel amide-containing MBH adducts under mild and clean conditions.

Hydroboration reactions of carboxylic acids using sodium aminodiboranate (NaNH2[BH3]2, NaADBH) to form primary alcohols were systematically investigated, and the reduction mechanism was elucidated experimentally and computationally. The transfer of hydride ions from B atoms to C atoms, the key step in the mechanism, was theoretically illustrated and supported by experimental results. The intermediates of NH2B2H5, PhCH= CHCOOBH2NH2BH3-, PhCH= CHCH2OBO, and the byproducts of BH4-, NH2BH2, and NH2BH3- were identified and characterized by 11B and 1H NMR. The reducing capacity of NaADBH was found between that of NaBH4 and LiAlH4. We have thus found that NaADBH is a promising reducing agent for hydroboration because of its stability and easy handling. These reactions exhibit excellent yields and good selectivity, therefore providing alternative synthetic approaches for the conversion of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols with a wide range of functional group tolerance.

The reductive activity of various basidiomycetous fungi towards carbonyl compounds was screened on an analytical level. Some strains displayed high reductive activities toward aromatic carbonyls and aliphatic ketones. Utilizing growing whole-cell cultures of Dichomitus albidofuscus, the reactions were up-scaled to a preparative level in an aqueous system. The reactions showed excellent selectivities and gave the respective alcohols in high yields. Carboxylic acids were also reduced to aldehydes and alcohols under the same conditions. In particular, benzoic, vanillic, ferulic, and p-coumaric acid were reduced to benzyl alcohol, vanillin, dihydroconiferyl alcohol and 1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan, respectively.

Selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols with KB3H8, an air- and moisture-stable, nontoxic, and easy-to-handle reagent, in water and THF has been explored under an air atmosphere for the first time. Control experiments illustrated the good selectivity of KB3H8 over NaBH4 for the reduction of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde and aromatic keto esters. This journal is

Developing and/or modifying fundamental chemical reactions using chemical industry-favorite heterogeneous recoverable catalytic systems in the water solvent is very important. In this paper, we developed convenient, green, and efficient approaches for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes, N-acetylation of arylamines, and one-pot reductive acetylation of nitroarenes in the presence of the recoverable heterogeneous carbon-supported palladium (Pd/C) catalytic system in water. The utilize of the simple, effective, and recoverable catalyst and also using of water as an entirely green solvent along with relatively short reaction times and good-to-excellent yields of the desired products are some of the noticeable features of the presented synthetic protocols.

Application of bis(phosphinite) pincer nickel complexes to the catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes

A series of bis(phosphinite) (POCOP) pincer ligated nickel complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiX (X = SH, 1; SCH2Ph, 2; SPh, 3; NCS, 4; N3, 5), were used to catalyse the hydrosilylation of aldehydes. It was found that both complexes 1 and 2 are active in catalysing the hydrosilylation of aldehydes with phenylsilane and complex 1 is comparatively more active. The expected alcohols were isolated in good to excellent yields after basic hydrolysis of the resultant hydrosilylation products. However, no reaction was observed when complex 3 or 4 or 5 was used as the catalyst. The results are consistent with complexes 1 and 2 serving as catalyst precursors, which generate the corresponding nickel hydride complex [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiH in situ, and the nickel hydride complex is the active species that catalyses this hydrosilylation process. The in situ generation of the nickel hydride species was supported by both experimental results and DFT calculation.

In this research, we have developed a mild electrochemical process for oxidative amidation of benzyl alcohols/aromatic aldehydes with cyclic amines into the corresponding benzamides. This electroorganic synthetic method proceeds using NaI as a redox mediator under ambient temperature in undivided cell, providing more than 25 examples of amide products in moderate to good yields. The benefits of this reaction include one-pot synthesis, open air condition, proceed in aqueous media and no requirement of external conducting salt, base and oxidant.

Whole seeds of Bauhinia variegata L. (Fabaceae) were utilized as a biological reducer to transform benzaldehyde into benzyl alcohol. The effects of some variables such as temperature, the load of substrate and co-solvent, were established to optimize the reductive process. Utilizing the optimal reaction conditions, a laboratory-scale reaction (final concentration of the substrate: 21.2 mM) was performed to obtain benzyl alcohol (conversion: 95%; isolated yield: 49%; productivity: 1.11 g L?1 or 0.046 g L?1h?1 of benzyl alcohol). In addition, using these optimal conditions, fourteen substituted benzaldehydes were reduced, with a conversion achieved to their corresponding benzyl alcohols ranging from 62% to >99% (isolated yields from 7% to 70%). Moreover, useful building blocks by the synthesis of the drugs and important commercial products were also obtained. The scope, limitations and advantages of this new biocatalytic synthetic method are also discussed.
