Highly regioselective alkylation of sugar hydroxyl groups has always been an important challenge in carbohydrate chemistry, especially for the selective alkylation of trans diols, there is no direct and efficient catalytic method so far. A chiral copper c

In this study, we reported the regio/site-selective alkylation of substrates containing a cis-, 1,2- or 1,3-diol with FeCl3 as a key catalyst. A catalytic system consisting of FeCl3 (0.01-0.1 equiv.) and dipivaloylmethane (FeCl3/dipivaloylmethane = 1/2) was used to catalyze the alkylation in the presence of a base. The produced selectivities and isolated yields were similar to those obtained by methods using the same amount of FeL3 (L = acylacetone ligand) as the catalyst in most cases. The previously reported FeL3 catalysts for alkylation are not commercially available and have to be synthesized prior to use. In contrast, FeCl3 and dipivaloylmethane (Hdipm) are very common and inexpensive nontoxic reagents in the lab, thereby making the method much greener and easier to handle. Mechanism studies confirmed for the first time that FeCl3 initially reacts with two equivalents of Hdipm to form [Fe(dipm)3] in the presence of a base in acetonitrile, followed by the formation of a five or six-membered ring intermediate between [Fe(dipm)3] and two hydroxyl groups of the substrate. A subsequent reaction between the cyclic intermediate and the alkylating agent results in selective alkylation of the substrate.
Highly Efficient Selective Benzylation of Carbohydrates Catalyzed by Iron(III) with Silver Oxide and Bromide Anion as Co-catalysts

A highly efficient, green, and regioselective method for the benzylation of diols and polyols was developed. With the use of Ag2O (0.6 equiv.) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.1 equiv.) as co-catalysts, the iron(III)-catalyzed benzylation reaction proceeded to completion at 40 °C within 2–3 h and gave the products in high yields with high regioselectivities. A mechanism involving the principle of enhanced basicity of Ag2O by soft anions was proposed.
