Photochemical Activation of Aromatic Aldehydes: Synthesis of Amides, Hydroxamic Acids and Esters

A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Reusable ionic liquid-catalyzed oxidative esterification of carboxylic acids with benzylic hydrocarbons via benzylic Csp3-H bond activation under metal-free conditions

A metal-free protocol for the direct oxidative esterification of the Csp3-H bond in benzylic hydrocarbons with carboxylic acids using heterocyclic ionic liquid as catalyst has been reported. The catalyst 1-butylpyridinium iodide could be easily recycled and reused for at least four cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

Direct, rapid and convenient synthesis of esters and thioesters using PPh3/N-chlorobenzotriazole system

We have developed an efficient method for esterification and thioesterification of various carboxylic acids with different alcohols and thiols using PPh3/N-chlorobenzotriazole mixed reagent in CH2Cl2 at room temperature.
