- One-step Conversion of Amides and Esters to Acid Chlorides with PCl3
-
A general and efficient iodine-promoted chlorination of amides and esters with phosphorus trichloride is described. For the first time. Various inactivated amides including secondary and tertiary amides were directly converted to the corresponding acid chlorides in one-step. The substrate scope of methyl esters including aromatic and aliphatic esters was also explored under this system. This method is simple, scalable and wide in scope, which provides an approach to preparation of these acid chlorides.

- PCl3-mediated transesterification and aminolysis of tert-butyl esters via acid chloride formation
-
A PCl3-mediated conversion of tert-butyl esters into esters and amides in one-pot under air is developed. This novel protocol is highlighted by the synthesis of skeletons of bioactive molecules and gram-scale reactions. Mechanistic studies revealed that this transformation involves the formation of an acid chloride in situ, which is followed by reactions with alcohols or amines to afford the desired products.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Chlorocarbonylation of Aryl (Pseudo)Halides Through In Situ Generation of Carbon Monoxide
-
An efficient palladium-catalyzed chlorocarbonylation of aryl (pseudo)halides that gives access to a wide range of carboxylic acid derivatives has been developed. The use of butyryl chloride as a combined CO and Cl source eludes the need for toxic, gaseous carbon monoxide, thus facilitating the synthesis of high-value products from readily available aryl (pseudo)halides. The combination of palladium(0), Xantphos, and an amine base is essential to promote this broadly applicable catalytic reaction. Overall, this reaction provides access to a great variety of carbonyl-containing products through in situ transformation of the generated aroyl chloride. Combined experimental and computational studies support a reaction mechanism involving in situ generation of CO.

For the first time, using PCl3, a range of tert-butyl esters is chlorinated successfully, allowing access of both aromatic acid chlorides and aliphatic acid chlorides in good yields. The method features simple reaction conditions and wide substrate scope. Various tert-butyl esters including aryl esters, alkenyl esters, and alkyl esters were tolerated well in the reaction. A plausible mechanism is proposed.

- Functional Group Transposition: A Palladium-Catalyzed Metathesis of Ar-X σ-Bonds and Acid Chloride Synthesis
-
We describe the development of a new method to use palladium catalysis to form functionalized aromatics: via the metathesis of covalent σ-bonds between Ar-X fragments. This transformation demonstrates the dynamic nature of palladium-based oxidative addition/reductive elimination and offers a straightforward approach to incorporate reactive functional groups into aryl halides through exchange reactions. The reaction has been exploited to assemble acid chlorides without the use of high energy halogenating or toxic reagents and, instead, via the metathesis of aryl iodides with other acid chlorides.

- Anhydrides from aldehydes or alcohols via oxidative cross-coupling
-
A novel type of metal-free oxidative cross-coupling for the synthesis of symmetrical and mixed anhydrides from aldehydes or benzylic alcohols has been developed. The aldehydes or alcohols were converted in situ into their corresponding acyl chlorides, which were then reacted with an array of carboxylic acids. The methodology has a general applicability, and was successfully employed to prepare either aromatic or aliphatic symmetrical anhydrides and mixed anhydrides, which are very unstable compounds.

- A General Cp*CoIII-Catalyzed Intramolecular C?H Activation Approach for the Efficient Total Syntheses of Aromathecin, Protoberberine, and Tylophora Alkaloids

Herein, we report a Cp*CoIII-catalyzed C?H activation approach as the key step to create highly valuable isoquinolones and pyridones as building blocks that can readily be applied in the total syntheses of a variety of aromathecin, protoberberine, and tylophora alkaloids. This particular C?H activation/annulation reaction was achieved with several terminal as well as internal alkyne coupling partners delivering a broad scope with excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic applicability of this protocol reported herein was demonstrated in the total syntheses of two Topo-I-Inhibitors and two 8-oxyprotoberberine cores that can be further elaborated into the tetrahydroprotoberberine and the protoberberine alkaloid core. Moreover these building blocks were also transformed to six different tylophora alkaloids in expedient fashion.

- From Aryl Iodides to 1,3-Dipoles: Design and Mechanism of a Palladium Catalyzed Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyrroles
-
A palladium-catalyzed multicomponent synthetic route to polysubstituted pyrroles from aryl iodides, imines, carbon monoxide, and alkynes is described. To develop this reaction, a series of mechanistic studies on the [Pd(allyl)Cl]2/PtBu3 catalyzed synthesis of imidazolinium carboxylates from aryl iodides, imines, and carbon monoxide were first performed, including model reactions for each individual step in the transformation. These show that this reaction proceeds in a concurrent tandem catalytic fashion, and involves the in situ formation of acid chlorides, N-Acyl iminium salts, and ultimately 1,3-dipoles, i.e., Münchnones, for subsequent cycloaddition. By employing a Pd(PtBu3)2/Bu4NCl catalyst, this information was used to design the first four-component synthesis of Münchnones. Coupling the latter with 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with electron deficient alkynes or alkenes can be used to generate diverse families of highly substituted pyrroles in good yield. This represents a modular and streamlined new approach to this class of heterocycles from readily accessible starting materials.

- Acid Chloride Synthesis by the Palladium-Catalyzed Chlorocarbonylation of Aryl Bromides
-
We report a palladium-catalyzed method to synthesize acid chlorides by the chlorocarbonylation of aryl bromides. Mechanistic studies suggest the combination of sterically encumbered PtBu3 and CO coordination to palladium can rapidly equilibrate the oxidative addition/reductive elimination of carbon-halogen bonds. This provides a useful method to assemble highly reactive acid chlorides from stable and available reagents, and can be coupled with subsequent nucleophilic reactions to generate new classes of carbonylated products. The Good, the Bad and the Bulky! By employing a sterically encumbered phosphine ligand, tri-tert-butyl phosphine, under palladium catalysis inert aryl bromides are chlorocarbonylated to create reactive acid chlorides by reversible carbon-halogen bond reductive elimination. This general platform allows for an expanded scope of the Heck carbonylation reaction to include previously incompatible nucleophiles.
