Regioselective reductive opening of substituted phthalans: synthetic applications

The reductive opening of substituted phthalans 6, 11, 12, 20, 21 and 28 with lithium and a catalytic amount of DTBB leads to the formation of corresponding functionalised organolithium intermediates 8, 15, 16, 23, 25 and 29+30 in a regioselective manner. The further reaction of these dianions with different electrophiles, mainly carbonyl compounds, gives the expected functionalised benzylic alcohols 9, 17, 18, 24, 26 and 31+32. The observed stereochemistry can be easily explained taking into account the values of the electron densities deduced by semiempirical PM3 calculations.
Facile reductive coupling of benzylic halides with ferrous oxalate dihydrate
Khurana, Jitender M.,Chauhan, Sushma,Maikap, Golak C.
, p. 1737 - 1740 (2007/10/03)
Facile reductive coupling of benzylic halides is reported with ferrous oxalate dihydrate in DMF or HMPA under nitrogen atmosphere at 155-160°C. The coupling is proposed to proceed by two successive oxidative additions of benzylic halides to ferrous oxalate to give an intermediate organoiron complex which undergoes concerted dimerization to give the corresponding reductively coupled dimers in high yields.
