Efficient Pd-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Carboxylation of Allylic Alcohols with Formic Acid

Formic acid is efficiently used as a C1 source to directly carboxylate allylic alcohols in the presence of a low loading of palladium catalyst and acetic anhydride as additive to afford β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeds through a carbonylation process with in situ-generated carbon monoxide under mild conditions, avoiding the use of high-pressure gaseous CO. A bisphosphine ligand with a large bite angle (4,5-bis{diphenylphosphino}-9,9-dimethylxanthene, Xantphos) was found to be uniquely effective for this transformation. The regio- and stereoconvergence of this reaction is ascribed to the thermodynamically favored isomerization of the allylic electrophile in the presence of the palladium catalyst.

Silphos [PCl3-n(SiO2)n]: A heterogeneous phosphine reagent for formylation and acetylation of alcohols and amines with ethyl formate and acetate

Alcohols and amines are formylated and acetylated in the presence of Silphos [PCl3-n(SiO2)n] in ethyl formate and ethyl acetate in high to excellent yields. This procedure provides a method to separate the product by a simple filtration.

Iron perchlorate on silica gel as multi-purpose reagent for catalysis of closure and rupture of carbon-oxygen bond in epoxides, alcohols, and esters

Aliphatic alcohols and water in the presence of catalytic amounts of Fe3+ ion introduced as iron(III) perchlorate on silica gel carrier perform efficient regiospecific opening of an epoxy ring. Carbon acids esterification with various type alcohols was carried out using the system Fe(ClO4)3-silica gel in dichloromethane under conditions excluding solvolysis. Acetylation and formylation of alcohols was performed by efficient transesterification with ethyl acetate and ethyl formate.

A convenient and chemoselective acetylation and formylation of alcohols and phenols using acetic acid and ethyl formate in the presence of Bi(III) salts

A variety of alcohols are acetylated and formylated efficiently with acetic acid and ethyl formate in the presence of catalytic amounts of Bi(III) salts such as BiCl3, Bi(TFA)3 and Bi(OTf)3. BiCl3 and Bi(OTf)3 are also effective catalysts for acetylation of phenols. All of these catalysts are ineffective in formylation of phenols. Selective acetylation and formylation of alcohols in the presence of phenols is an additional advantage of this procedure.

One-step conversion of formate esters to O-silyl ethers by means of samarium diiodide in the presence of chlorosilane reagents

One-step conversion of various types of formate esters into the corresponding O-silyl ethers under neutral reaction conditions was established by employing samarium diiodide in the presence of chlorosilane reagents.
