Molecular clips derived from 2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3,7-dione promote increased regioselectivity in the SO2Cl2-mediated electrophilic aromatic chlorination of ortho-cresol leading to para/ortho ratios (Rp/o) 25; approximately six times larger than in the absence of the clip. Specific recognition events involving hydrogen-bond, π-π and dative covalent interactions are implicated.

Chlorination of o-cresol, m-cresol, and m-xylenol using sulfuryl chloride in the presence of a range of poly(alkylene sulfide)s and a Lewis acid (aluminum or ferric chloride) has been studied. The sulfur containing catalysts used led to the production of para-chlorophenols in high yields and higher para/ortho ratios than for reactions in the absence of such poly(alkylene sulfide)s. The effectiveness of the polymers was found to be dependent on the length of the spacer groups between the sulfur atoms. For example, polymers with shorter spacers provided high yields of 4-chloro-o-cresol (ca. 97%), while polymers with at least one longer spacer provided high yields of both 4-chloro-m-cresol (up to 94.6%) and 4-chloro-m-xylenol (up to 97.6%).

Vapor phaseortho-methylation of 4-chlorophenol with methanol was studied over Mn2O3catalyst with two kinds of morphologies. Here, Mn2O3was prepared by a precipitation and hydrothermal method, and showed the morphology of nanoparticles and nanowires, respectively. XRD characterization and BET results showed that, with the increase of calcination temperature, Mn2O3had a higher crystallinity and a smaller specific surface area. N2adsorption/desorption and TPD measurements indicated that Mn2O3nanowires possessed larger external surface areas and more abundant acid and base sites. Simultaneously, in the fixed bed reactor, methanol was used as the methylation reagent for theortho-methylation reaction of 4-chlorophenol. XRD, XPS, TG-MS and other characterizations made it clear that methanol reduced 4-chlorophenol and its methide, which were the main side-reactions. And Mn3+was reduced to Mn2+under the reaction conditions. Changing the carrier gas N2to a H2/Ar mixture further verified that the hydrogen generated by the decomposition of methanol was not the reason for dechlorination of 4-chlorophenol compounds. Here we summarized the progress of 4-chlorophenol methylation based on the methylation of phenol. Also, we proposed a mechanism of the 4-chlorophenol dechlorination effect which was similar to the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type (MPV) reaction. The crystal phase and carbon deposition were investigated in different reaction periods by XRD and TG-DTA. The reaction conditions for the two kinds of morphologies of the Mn2O3catalyst such as calcination temperature, reaction temperature, phenol-methanol ratio and reaction space velocity were optimized.
Regioselective chlorination of phenols in the presence of tetrahydrothiopyran derivatives

Four six-membered cyclic sulfides, namely tetrahydrothiopyran, 3-methyltetrahydrothiopyran, 4-methyltetrahydrothiopyran and 4,4-dimethyltetrahyrdrothiopyran have been used as moderators in chlorination reactions of various phenols with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aluminum or ferric chloride. On chlorination of phenol, ortho-cresol and meta-cresol the para/ortho chlorination ratios and yields of the para-chloro isomers are higher than when no cyclic sulfide is used for all of the cyclic sulfides, but chlorination of meta-xylenol is less consistent, with some cyclic sulfides producing higher p/o ratios and others producing lower ratios than reactions having no sulfide present.
