The reaction of 2-methoxyphenylethyl tosylate (MeO-1-Ts) is first-order in [N3-]. A carbon-13 NMR analysis of the products of the reactions of MeO-1-[α-13C]Ts shows the formation of MeO-1-[β-13C]OH and MeO-1-[β-13C]N3 from the trapping of a symmetrical 4-methoxyphenonium ion reaction intermediate 2+. An analysis of the rate and product data provides a value of kaz/ks = 83 M- 1 for partitioning of 2 + between addition of azide ion and solvent. These data set a limit for the lifetime of 2+ in aqueous solution.

Although borane is a useful reagent, it is difficult to handle. In this study, borane was generated in situ from NaBH4 or nBu4NBH4 with several oxidants using a phase-vanishing (PV) method. The borane generated was directly reacted with alkenes, affording the desired alcohols in good yields after oxidation with H2O2 under basic conditions. The selective reduction of carboxylic acids with the evolved borane was examined. The organoboranes generated by the PV method successfully underwent Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Using this PV system, reactions with borane can be carried out easily and safely in a common test tube.

This report discloses the deallylation of O - and N -allyl functional groups by using a combination of a Ni-H precatalyst and excess Bronsted acid. Key steps are the isomerization of the O - or N -allyl group through Ni-catalyzed double-bond migration followed by Bronsted acid induced O/N-C bond hydrolysis. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in this protocol, highlighting its synthetic value.
Evaluation of 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP) as a protecting group for phenols: Stability to ortho-lithiation conditions and boiling concentrated hydrobromic acid, orthogonality with most common protecting group classes, and deprotection via Cope elimination or by mild Lewis acids

A new protecting group, 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP), was evaluated as a protecting group for phenols. The PIP group was stable to ortho-lithiation conditions and refluxing with concentrated hydrobromic acid. Deprotection was accomplished by two routes, oxidation to N-oxides followed by Cope elimination (CE) and subsequent hydrolysis or ozonolysis of the vinyl ether or one-step deprotection by BBr3?Me2S. The PIP group is orthogonal to the O-benzyl, O-acetyl, O-t-butyldiphenylsilyl, O-methyl, O-p-methoxybenzyl, O-allyl, O-tetrahydropyranyl and N-t-butoxy carbonyl groups. The CE step was systematically studied and was found to give higher yields when the reaction was performed in the presence of silylating agents.

A Cu-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of phenols with methylboronic acid to form aryl methyl ethers has been developed, expanding the scope of Chan-Evans-Lam alkylation. Electron-deficient phenol derivatives with a broad array of functional groups are methylated in high yields. Increased reaction temperature and catalyst loading enables the methylation of substrates incorporating pyridine and dihydroquinolone motifs. Electron-rich phenol derivatives are poor substrates for the methylation; the characterization of C?H homodimerization products formed from these substrates illuminates a competing mechanistic pathway.
Erbium-Catalyzed Regioselective Isomerization-Cobalt-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation Sequence for the Synthesis of Anti-Markovnikov Alcohols from Epoxides under Mild Conditions

Herein, we report an efficient isomerization-transfer hydrogenation reaction sequence based on a cobalt pincer catalyst (1 mol %), which allows the synthesis of a series of anti-Markovnikov alcohols from terminal and internal epoxides under mild reaction conditions (≤55 °C, 8 h) at low catalyst loading. The reaction proceeds by Lewis acid (3 mol % Er(OTf)3)-catalyzed epoxide isomerization and subsequent cobalt-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation using ammonia borane as the hydrogen source. The general applicability of this methodology is highlighted by the synthesis of 43 alcohols from epoxides. A variety of terminal (23 examples) and 1,2-disubstituted internal epoxides (14 examples) bearing different functional groups are converted to the desired anti-Markovnikov alcohols in excellent selectivity and yields of up to 98%. For selected examples, it is shown that the reaction can be performed on a preparative scale up to 50 mmol. Notably, the isomerization step proceeds via the most stable carbocation. Thus, the regiochemistry is controlled by stereoelectronic effects. As a result, in some cases, rearrangement of the carbon framework is observed when tri-and tetra-substituted epoxides (6 examples) are converted. A variety of functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions even though aldehydes and ketones are also reduced to the respective alcohols under the reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies and control experiments were used to investigate the role of the Lewis acid in the reaction. Besides acting as the catalyst for the epoxide isomerization, the Lewis acid was found to facilitate the dehydrogenation of the hydrogen donor, which enhances the rate of the transfer hydrogenation step. These experiments additionally indicate the direct transfer of hydrogen from the amine borane in the reduction step.

Selective and efficient hydrosilylations of esters to alcohols by a well-defined manganese(I) complex with a commercially available bisphosphine ligand are described. These reactions are easy alternatives for stoichiometric hydride reduction or hydrogenation, and employing cheap, abundant, and nonprecious metal is attractive. The hydrosilylations were performed at 100 °C under solvent-free conditions with low catalyst loading. A large variety of aromatic, aliphatic, and cyclic esters bearing different functional groups were selectively converted into the corresponding alcohols in good yields.

Hydrogenolysis is one of the most popular strategies applied in the depolymerization of lignin for the production of aromatic chemicals. Currently, this strategy is mainly conducted under high hydrogen pressure, which can pose safety risks and is not sustainable and economical. Herein, we reported that heterogeneous rhenium oxide supported on active carbon (ReOx/AC) exhibited excellent activity in the selective cleavage of lignin C-O bonds in isopropanol. High yields of monophenols (up to 99.0%) from various lignin model compounds and aromatic liquid oils (>50%) from lignin feedstock were obtained under mild conditions in the absence of H2. The characterization of the catalyst by X-ray absorption fine structure, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and H2-temperature-programed reduction suggested that the activity of ReOx/AC could be attributed to the presence of ReIV-VI. The interaction between the surface oxygen groups of the active carbon and rhenium oxide could also play an important role in the cleavage of the C-O bonds. Notably, an ReOx/AC-catalyzed C-O bond cleavage pathway beyond a typical deoxydehydration mechanism was disclosed. More importantly, 2D-HSQC-NMR and GPC characterizations showed that ReOx/AC exhibited high activity not only in β-O-4 cleavage, but also in the deconstruction of more resistant β-5 and β-β linkages in lignin without destroying the aromatic ring. This study paves the way for the development of rhenium-based catalysts for the controlled reductive valorization of realistic lignin materials through a hydrogen transfer pathway.

Protecting groups are indispensable in organic synthesis and there is a great need for a variety of deprotection methods. Here, we investigated the scope of the application of a deprotection procedure using SO3H silica gel, which we have previously reported as a desilylation procedure. Under these conditions, -OMOM, -OSEM, -OTHP, and -OAc groups and dimethyl acetal were cleaved. Pivaloyloxy, benzyloxy and methoxy carbonyl groups remained intact and selective deprotection of TBS groups in the presence of other protecting groups was accomplished. We succeeded in cleaving an acetyl group on a secondary alcohol in a highly polar nortropine derivative. Our findings here provide another deprotection option and would be helpful in the synthesis of multifunctional compounds.
