A New Chiral Solvating Agent for Carboxylic Acids Based on Directed Hydrogen Bonding
Stork, Thomas,Helmchen, Guenter
, p. 253 - 254 (1995)
Readily available structural modules were combined to a new chiral receptor for carboxylic acids which shows triple hydrogen-bonding to various substrates.Large chemical shift anisochronies were observed with chiral and prochiral carboxylic acids.

Sulfonatocalix[4]arenes with an appended hydroxamic acid residue can detoxify VX and related V-type neurotoxic organophosphonates with half-lives down to 3 min in aqueous buffer at 37 °C and pH 7.4. The detoxification activity is attributed to the millimo

Carboxyl methyltransferase (CMT) enzymes catalyse the biomethylation of carboxylic acids under aqueous conditions and have potential for use in synthetic enzyme cascades. Herein we report that the enzyme FtpM from Aspergillus fumigatus can methylate a broad range of aromatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids in good to excellent conversions. The enzyme shows high regioselectivity on its natural substrate fumaryl-l-tyrosine, trans, trans-muconic acid and a number of the dicarboxylic acids tested. Dicarboxylic acids are generally better substrates than monocarboxylic acids, although some substituents are able to compensate for the absence of a second acid group. For dicarboxylic acids, the second methylation shows strong pH dependency with an optimum at pH 5.5–6. Potential for application in industrial biotechnology was demonstrated in a cascade for the production of a bioplastics precursor (FDME) from bioderived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
Silica-Mediated Monohydrolysis of Dicarboxylic Esters
Dyker, Gerald

A new method for the monohydrolysis of dicarboxylic esters is presented, involving as key step a silanolysis at elevated temperatures at the silica gel surface. In the second step, the surface bound silyl esters are cleaved off under mild conditions, giving a straightforward and fast access to half esters. Based on recovered starting material generally yields well above 70 % are achieved, both, with stiff aromatic as well as flexible aliphatic substrates, as long as the ester groups involved are remote enough from each other. Otherwise competing reactions are becoming determinative, anhydride formation in the case of phthalates and decarbonylative fragmentation in the case of malonates. The new method was also successfully tested on a multigram scale with a minimalistic apparatus setup.

supporting information, p. 14333 - 14355 (2021/10/20)
Minimalistic 2-(oxazolinyl)-phenols substituted with different electron-donating and -withdrawing groups as well as 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazole-annulated derivatives thereof were synthesized and investigated in regard to their emission behavior in solution as well as in the solid state. Depending on the nature of the incorporated substituent and its position, emission efficiencies were increased or diminished, resulting in AIE or ACQ characteristics. Single-crystal analysis revealed J- and H-type packing motifs and a so-far undescribed isolation of ESIPT-based fluorophores in the keto form.
Cobalt-Catalyzed Deprotection of Allyl Carboxylic Esters Induced by Hydrogen Atom Transfer

A brief, efficient method has been developed for the removal of the allyl protecting group from allyl carboxylic esters using a Co(II)/TBHP/(Me2SiH)2O catalytic system. This facile strategy displays excellent chemoselectivity, functional group tolerance, and high yields. This transformation probably occurs through the hydrogen atom transfer process, and a Co(III)-six-membered cyclic intermediate is recommended.
A Br?nsted acidic, ionic liquid containing, heteropolyacid functionalized polysiloxane network as a highly selective catalyst for the esterification of dicarboxylic acids

A Br?nsted acidic, ionic liquid containing, heteropolyanion functionalized polysiloxane network was formed by self-condensation of dodecatungstophosphoric acid and a zwitterionic organosilane precursor containing both imidazolinium and sulfonate groups. The resulting hybrid material POS-HPA-IL was investigated as a catalyst for the selective esterification of dicarboxylic acids.
Ni-Catalyzed Carboxylation of C(sp2)-S Bonds with CO2: Evidence for the Multifaceted Role of Zn
Yanagi, Tomoyuki,Somerville, Rosie J.,Nogi, Keisuke,Martin, Ruben,Yorimitsu, Hideki
, p. 2117 - 2123 (2020/02/28)
Nickel-catalyzed reductive carboxylation reactions of aryl electrophiles typically require the use of metallic reducing agents. At present, the prevailing perception is that these serve as both a source of electrons and as a source of Lewis acids that may aid CO2 insertion into the Ni-C bond. Herein, we provide evidence for the in situ formation of organometallic species from the metallic reductant, a step that has either been ruled out or has been unexplored in catalytic carboxylation reactions with metal powder reductants. Specifically, we demonstrate that Zn(0) acts as a reductant and that Zn(II) generates arylzinc species that might play a role in the C(sp2)-S carboxylation of arylsulfonium salts. Overall, the reductive Ni-catalyzed C(sp2)-S carboxylation reaction proceeds under mild conditions in a non-amide solvent, displays a wide substrate scope, and can be applied to the formal para C-H carboxylation of arenes.

The transition-metal-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl and vinyl chlorides with CO2 is rarely studied, and has been achieved only with a Ni catalyst or combination of palladium and photoredox. In this work, the cobalt-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl and vinyl chlorides and bromides with CO2 has been developed. These transformations proceed under mild conditions and exhibit a broad substrate scope, affording the corresponding carboxylic acids in good to high yields.

Cobalt-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of aryl bromides with carbon dioxide has been developed. The reaction proceeded under one atm pressure of CO2 at 40 °C in the presence of cobalt iodide/2,2′-bipyridine catalysts and zinc dust as a reducing reagent. Various aryl bromides could be converted to the corresponding carboxylic acids in good to high yields. Preliminary mechanistic experiments ruled out intervention of intermediate organozinc species for carboxylation with CO2, thus suggesting a direct CO2 insertion into the corresponding ArCoBr species.
