We reported an efficient ligand-free Co(OAc)2·4H 2O/NaOH/O2/ethylene glycol reaction system that enables selective aerobic oxidation of a wide range of substrates covering 2,6-di-EWG-, 2,3,6-tri-EWG-, 2-EWG-, and 2-EWG-6-EDG-substituted 4-cresols into the corresponding 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes. Based on the experimental investigations and well-defined p-benzoquinone methides, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed. Considering the simplicity of the procedure and importance of the products, the methodology was expected to become a favorable and practical tool in related benzylic C(sp3)-H functionalization chemistry.

A highly efficient approach to the famous flavor and fragrance compound vanillin has been developed starting from 4-cresol with the attention focused on improving the sustainability of all the reactions. The approach involves a three-step sequence of the quasi-quantitative selective clean oxybromination of 4-cresol, the high-yield selective aerobic oxidation of 2-bromo-4-cresol, and the quantitative methoxylation of 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with the recovery of pure methanol. Herein, the pivotal oxidation and methoxylation reactions are logically investigated and developed into two concise methodologies. As a green alternative, the approach holds significant value for the sustainable manufacturing of vanillin. the Partner Organisations 2014.

A hindered para-hydroxyl group-directed remote benzylic C(sp3)-H oxyfunctionalization has been developed for the straightforward transformation of 2,6-disubstituted 4-cresols, 4-alkylphenols, 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohols and 4-hydroxybenzyl alkyl ethers into various aromatic carbonyl compounds. The ligand- and additive-free Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed atmospheric oxidation mediated by ethylene glycol unlocks a facile, atom-economical, and environmentally benign C=O formation for the functionalization of primary and secondary benzyl groups. Due to the pharmaceutical importance of 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes and 4-hydroxyphenones, the methodology is expected to be of significant value for both fundamental research and practical applications.
