The direct chlorination of C-H bonds has received considerable attention in recent years. In this work, a metal-free protocol for hydrocarbon C-H bond chlorination with commercially available N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) with 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichlorobenzoquinone (DDQ) functioning as an external radical initiator is presented. Aliphatic and benzylic substituents and also heteroaromatic ones were found to be well tolerated. Both the experiments and theoretical analysis indicate that the reaction goes through a process wherein NHPI functions as a catalyst rather than as an initiator. On the other hand, the hydrogen abstraction of the C-H bond conducted by a PINO species rather than the highly reactive N-centered radicals rationalizes the high chemoselectivity of the monochlorination obtained by this protocol as the latter is reactive towards the C(sp3)-H bonds of the monochlorides. The present results could hold promise for further development of a nitroxy-radical system for the highly selective functionalization of the aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbon C-H.

The direct selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds into C-halogen bonds was achieved using a nano Ag/AgCl catalyst at RT under visible light or LED irradiation in the presence of an aqueous solution of NaX/HX as a halide source, in air. The halogenation of hydrocarbons provided mono-halide substituted products with 95% selectivity and yields higher than 90%, with the chlorination of toluene being 81%, far higher than the 40% conversion using dichlorine. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the reaction is a free radical process using blue light (450-500 nm), with visible light being the most effective light source. Irradiation is proposed to cause AgCl bonding electrons to become excited and electron transfer from chloride ions induces chlorine radical formation which drives the substitution reaction. The reaction provides a potentially valuable method for the direct chlorination of saturated hydrocarbons.

We present the controlled monochlorination of aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbons with only 1 equiv of substrate at 25-30 °C using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as radical initiator and commercially available trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as the chlorine source. Catalytic amounts of CBr4 reduced the reaction times considerably due to the formation of chain-carrying ·CBr3 radicals. Benzylic C-H chlorination affords moderate to good yields for arenes carrying electron-withdrawing (50-85%) or weakly electron-donating groups (31-73%); cyclic aliphatic substrates provide low yields (24-38%). The products could be synthesized on a gram scale followed by simple purification via distillation. We report the first direct side-chain chlorination of 3-methylbenzoate affording methyl 3-(chloromethyl)benzoate, which is an important building block for the synthesis of vasodilator taprostene.
Treatment of alcohols with tosyl chloride does not always lead to the formation of tosylates

Treatment of substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride resulted in the formation of the corresponding chlorides, not the usual tosylates. A series of experiments demonstrated that it was possible to predict whether chlorination or tosylation would occur for substituted benzyl alcohols and pyridine methanols. Treatment of electron withdrawing group-substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride gave the corresponding chlorides in moderate yields under mild conditions, which provided a simple way to directly prepare chlorides from alcohols.
A duality of mechanisms for the fragmentation of substituted benzyloxychlorocarbenes

Substituted benzyloxychlorocarbenes (X-PhCH2OCCl) were generated photochemically at 25 °C in dichloroethane from appropriate diazirine precursors. Fragmentations of the carbenes produced were determined by laser flash photolysis. The data (X, kfrag in s-1) were: p-Me, 2.6 × 105; p-Ph, 8.3 × 104; H, 6.0 × 104; p-Cl, 5.2 × 104; m-Cl, 1.3 × 105; p-F3C, 2.1 × 106; p-O2N, 6.3 × 106. A Hammett correlation of log kfrag versus σ+ was parabolic. The curvature was taken to imply the gradual change of the fragmentation mechanism from predominantly heterolytic for X-PhCH2CCl with electron-donating X (with developing positive charge on the benzylic carbon in the transition state) to predominantly homolytic for carbenes with electron-withdrawing X. This idea was supported by computational studies. Copyright
Gas-phase substituent effects in highly electron-deficient systems. II. stabilities of 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cations based on chloride-transfer equilibria

The relative stabilities of 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cations were determined based on the chloride ion-transfer equilibria in the gas phase. An application of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation to this substituent effect on the equilibrium constants gave a remarkably larger r+ of 1.53 and a ρ of-10.6, supporting our previous conclusion that the highly electron-deficient benzylic carbocation systems are characterized by extremely high resonance demands. This r+ value, furthermore, conformed a linear relationship between the r+ value and the relative stability of the unsubstituted member of the respective benzylic carbocations, clearly demonstrating a continuous spectrum of varying resonance demands characteristic of the stabilities of carbocations. The π-delocalization of the positive charge into the aryl π-system increases with the destabilization of a carbocation by the α-substituent(s) linked to the central carbon. In addition, the r + value of 1.53 for 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cations was found to be in complete agreement with that for the solvolysis of 1-aryl-2,2,2- trifluoroethyl tosylates in 80% aq acetone. This reveals that the r+ value observed for this solvolysis must be the intrinsic resonance demand of a highly electron-deficient cationic transition state in the SN 1 ionizing process. The identity of the r+ value was consistent with our previous observation for other benzylic carbocation systems, indicating that the degree of the π-delocalization of the positive charge is identical between the cationic transition state and an intermediate cation for all benzylic systems, which cover a wide range of reactivity and stability of the carbocation. This leads us to the conclusion that the geometry of the transition state in the ionizing process of the SN1 solvolysis, which is a highly endothermic reaction, closely resembles the high-energy product, an intermediate cation.

Versatility of Zeolites as Catalysts for Ring or Side-Chain Aromatic Chlorinations by Sulfuryl Chloride
Delaude, Lionel,Laszlo, Pierre
, p. 5260 - 5269 (2007/10/02)
Zeolites catalyze chlorination of aromatics by sulfuryl chloride SO2Cl2.It is possible by an appropriate choice of the catalyst to effect at will, with very high selectivity, either the ring or the side-chain chlorination.Zeolite ZF520 is the choice catalyst for the former, because of its high Broensted acidity.Zeolite NaX (13X) is a fine catalyst for the latter, free-radical chlorination; the reaction is best effected in the presence of a light source; the catalyst can be reused many times with no loss in activity.Both reaction modes, the ionic (ring chlorination)and the radical (side-chain substitution), are likely to occur outside of the channel network in the microporous solid.The effects of various experimental factors - such as the nature of the solvent, the reaction time and temperature, the Broensted acidity of the solid support, the presence of radical inhibitors, and the quantity of catalysts - were investigated.The procedures resulting from this study are very easy to implement in practice and are quite effective.
