Sterically congested ester formation from α-substituted malononitrile and alcohol by an oxidative method using molecular oxygen

A metal-free oxidative esterification or thio-esterifica-tion of readily available substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol has been developed by simply mixing α-substituted malononitrile and alcohol or thiol in the presence of base under a molecular oxygen atmosphere. Sterically hindered ester or thioester can be prepared efficiently.

METHOD OF CONVERTING ALCOHOL TO HALIDE

The present invention relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding halide. This method comprises reacting the alcohol with an optionally substituted aromatic carboxylic acid halide in presence of an N-substituted formamide to replace a hydroxyl group of the alcohol by a halogen atom. The present invention also relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding substitution product. The second method comprises: (a) performing the method of the invention of converting an alcohol into the corresponding halide; and (b) reacting the corresponding halide with a nucleophile to convert the halide into the nucleophilic substitution product.
