Ligand-Free Copper-Catalyzed Ullmann-Type C?O Bond Formation in Non-Innocent Deep Eutectic Solvents under Aerobic Conditions

An efficient and novel protocol was developed for a Cu-catalyzed Ullmann-type aryl alkyl ether synthesis by reacting various (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br, I) with alcohols as active components of environmentally benign choline chloride-based eutectic mixtures. Under optimized conditions, the reaction proceeded under mild conditions (80 °C) in air, in the absence of additional ligands, with a catalyst [CuI or CuII species] loading up to 5 mol% and K2CO3 as the base, providing the desired aryloxy derivatives in up to 98 % yield. The potential application of the methodology was demonstrated in the valorization of cheap, easily available, and naturally occurring polyols (e. g., glycerol) for the synthesis of some pharmacologically active aryloxypropanediols (Guaiphenesin, Mephenesin, and Chlorphenesin) on a 2 g scale in 70–96 % yield. Catalyst, base, and deep eutectic solvent could easily and successfully be recycled up to seven times with an E-factor as low as 5.76.

Mutual Kinetic Resolution of Racemic 3,4-Dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazines with Acyl Chlorides of Racemic O-Phenyllactic Acids and DFT Modelling of Transition States

The effect of the electronic nature of the para substituent on the aromatic ring of 2-aryloxypropionyl chlorides on the stereochemical outcome of the acylation of 3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-[1,4]benzoxazine and its 7,8-difluoro-containing analogue has been studied. The geometries of the diastereoisomeric transition states and the corresponding Gibbs free enthalpies of activation were determined through DFT calculations at the COSMO-CH2Cl2-B3LYP-D3-gCP/def2-TZVP (or def2-SVP)//B3LYP-D3-gCP/def2-SVP level of theory. It has been found that a low-cost quantum chemical calculation at a chosen level of theory describes well the quantitative dependence of the selectivity of acylation on the structures of the reagents. The obtained results indicate that aromatic interactions between the reagents play a significant role in the process of stereodifferentiation, ensuring high selectivity of the acylation of benzoxazines with 2-aryloxyacyl chlorides.

A new method for production of chiral 2-aryloxypropanoic acids using effective kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aryloxycarboxylic acids

We report a novel method for the preparation of 2-aryloxypropanoic acids by kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aryloxypropanoic acids using enantioselective esterification. The usage of pivalic anhydride (Piv2O) as an activating agent, bis(a-naphthyl)methanol ((α-Np)2CHOH) as an achiral alcohol, and (+)-benzotetramisole ((+)-BTM) as a chiral acyl-transfer catalyst enables the effective separation of various racemic 2-aryloxypropanoic acids to afford optically active carboxylic acids and the corresponding esters with high enantioselectivities. Furthermore, theoretical calculations of the transition states required to form the chiral esters successfully proved the enantiomer recognition mechanism of the asymmetric esterification.
