Silver/manganese dioxide nanorod catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing reactions and tert-butyl ester synthesis

Silver/manganese dioxide (Ag@MnO2) nanorods are synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was discovered that Ag@MnO2 nanorods can realize hydrogen-borrowing reactions in high yields and are also effective for the synthesis of tert-butyl esters from aryl cyanides and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in a short period of time. Mechanistic experiments revealed that this catalytic system acts as a Lewis acid in hydrogen-borrowing reactions, while the synthesis of tert-butyl esters occurs through a radical pathway. This is the first report on the excellent catalytic activity of Ag@MnO2 nanorods as a catalyst.

Highly Active Manganese-Mediated Acylation of Alcohols with Acid Chlorides or Anhydrides

To explore further the practical uses of highly active manganese (Mn?), a variety of alcohols were treated with Mn?, and the resulting complexes were coupled with acid chlorides and/or acetic anhydride in the absence of any extra catalyst. The subsequent reactions took place smoothly under mild conditions, providing the corresponding O-acylation products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Convenient preparations of t-butyl esters and ethers from t-butanol

A one-pot preparation of t-butyl esters and ethers is described that proceeds from the carboxylic acid or alcohol and t-butanol using only anhydrous magnesium sulfate and catalytic sulfuric acid as additional reagents. The method affords t-butyl esters and ethers in good yields and is applicable to a variety of substrates.
