A convenient method is reported to specifically acylate phenolic hydroxyl groups through a radical pathway. When a mixture of an aldehyde and a phenol in ethyl acetate is irradiated with blue light in the presence of iridium and nickel bromide catalysts at ambient temperature, phenoxyl and acyl radicals are transiently generated in situ and cross-couple to furnish an ester. Aliphatic hydroxy groups remain untouched under the reaction conditions.

A rhodium-catalyzed carbonylative transformation of alkyl halides under low pressure of CO has been developed. This robust catalyst system allows using phenols as the carbonylative coupling partner and, meanwhile, exhibits high functional group tolerance and good chemoselectivity. Substrates even with a large steric hindrance group or multiple reaction sites can be selectively converted into the desired products in good to excellent yields. A gram-scale experiment was performed and delivered an almost quantitative amount of the product. Control experiments were performed as well, and a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.

A method for direct cross coupling between unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds and chloroformates has been accomplished via nickel and photoredox catalysis. A diverse range of feedstock chemicals, such as (a)cyclic alkanes and toluenes, along with late-stage intermediates, undergo intermolecular C-C bond formation to afford esters under mild conditions using only 3 equiv of the C-H partner. Site selectivity is predictable according to bond strength and polarity trends that are consistent with the intermediacy of a chlorine radical as the hydrogen atom-abstracting species.

Durán-Pe?a, María Jesús,Botubol-Ares, José Manuel,Hanson, James R.,Hernández-Galán, Rosario,Collado, Isidro G.
supporting information, p. 3584 - 3591 (2016/07/28)
A method has been developed for the conversion of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, and phenol, into the corresponding esters at room temperature. The method uses a titanium(III) species generated from a substoichiometric amount of titanocene dichloride together with manganese(0) as a reductant, as well as methylene diiodide. It involves a transesterification from an ethyl ester, or a reaction with an acyl chloride. A radical mechanism is proposed for these transformations.
Reactivity of mixed organozinc and mixed organocopper reagents: 12. Three component reaction of mixed (n-alkyl)(diaryl)zincates, chloroformates and phosphines for the synthesis of esters

The reaction of mixed n-butyldiphenylzincate, n-BuPh2ZnMgBr with ethyl chloroformate, ClCOOEt in the presence n-Bu3P in THF takes place with quantitative yield and phenyl group transfer to give PhCOOEt. Ethoxycarbonylation of n-BuPh2ZnMgBr is preferable to the reaction of PhMgBr forming ester and triphenylcarbinol and also to the reaction of triphenylzincate, Ph3ZnMgBr for atom economy. Group selectivity in the phosphine catalyzed C-COOR coupling of n-BuPh2ZnMgBr and n-Bu2PhZnMgBr can be controlled by changing reaction parameters. n-Bu3P catalyzed reaction of n-BuPh2ZnMgBr with ClCOOEt takes place with phenyl selectivity whereas reaction of n-Bu2PhZnMgBr with ClCOOPh results in n-butyl transfer. Catalysis by Ph3P increases n-butyl group:phenyl group transfer ratio in the ethoxycarbonylation of both zincates. Selective transfer of aryl groups in n-Bu3P catalyzed reaction of n-butyl(aryl)2ZnMgBr reagents with ClCOOEt in THF provides a new procedure for the organometallic synthesis of arenecarboxylic acid ethyl esters at room temperature.

Esterification of several types of mono-and disubstituted phenols with various mono-and dialkanoyl chlorides was performed in phase-transfer catalysis conditions, using tetrabutylammonium chloride in a mixture of aqueous NaOH and dichloromethane. The process is particularly efficient (almost quantitative yields) as well as rapid (only 5 min reaction time, at a temperature of0°C). Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Comparisons of O-acylation and Friedel-Crafts acylation of phenols and acyl chlorides and Fries rearrangement of phenyl esters in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid: Effective synthesis of optically active homotyrosines

Reactions involving phenol derivatives and acyl chlorides have to be controlled for competitive O-acylations and C-acylations (Friedel-Crafts acylations and Fries rearrangements) in acidic condition. The extent for these reactions in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH), which is used as catalyst and solvent, is examined. Although diluted TfOH was needed for effective O-acylation, concentrated TfOH was required for effective C-acylations in mild condition. These results have been applied to the novel synthesis of homotyrosine derivatives. Both Fries rearrangement of N-TFA-Asp(OBn)-OMe and Friedel-Crafts acylation of phenol with N-TFA-Asp(Cl)-OMe in TfOH afforded the homotyrosine skeleton, followed by reduction and deprotection afforded homotyrosines maintaining stereochemistry of Asp as an optically pure form.

The phenolic ester synthesis between equimolecular amounts of phenols and various alkanoyl chlorides in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in a two-phase system (20 mL of each 10% NaOH and dicloromethane, respectively) was reinvestigated under PTC conditions (10 mmol of tetrabutyl ammonium chloride, BNC). The esterification was complete within several minutes and the obtained ester was in high purity. For example, phenyl acetate was obtained quantitatively at 0°C in 5 minutes using a stoichiometric amount of BNC. This acylation procedure is technically simple and does not require anhydrous conditions. A bimolecular electrophilic attack of alkanoyl chloride against the ion-pair in the organic phase, which was formed between the quaternary ammonium cation and the phenoxide anion, must be a rate-determining step, because a plot of the logarithm of relative rate constants of various alkanoyl chlorides vs Taft's polar substituents constants (taking into account the steric constants, Es) gave a good linear relationship. We have found a simple, rapid, convenient, easily separating and efficient PTC technique to synthesize phenolic esters.
Efficient method for the preparation of inverted alkyl carboxylates and phenyl carboxylates via oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone or simple 1,4-benzoquinone

Oxidation-reduction condensation using in situ formed alkoxydiphenylphosphines, 2,6-dimethy-1,4-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids provides a useful method for the preparation of inverted tertiary alkyl carboxylates from the corresponding chiral tertiary alcohols under mild and neutral conditions. Similarly, it has afforded alkyl carboxylates successfully in good-to-high yields by the combined use of alkoxydiphenylphosphines having primary, secondary, or tertiary alkoxy groups, carboxylic acids, and simple 1,4-benzoquinone. When chiral secondary or tertiary alcohols are used, the corresponding inverted secondary or tertiary alkyl carboxylates are also obtained in good-to-high yields. In addition, a convenient method for the preparation of phenyl carboxylates in high yields has been established by utilizing oxidation-reduction condensation in toluene at 110 °C using phenoxydiphenylphosphines in situ-formed from phenols and chlorodiphenylphosphine, 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids.

On the premise that it is necessary to develop antiestrogens with a higher cytotoxic component in order to reduce the risks of the development of heterogeneous malignant cell populations in breast cancer, we studied a novel series of basic diphenylethylenes, for the most part devoid of estrogenic activity, with low antiestrogenicity but much enhanced cytotoxicity compared to the reference drug tamoxifen. The main structural features associated with cytotoxicity were E isomery, substituents of five to eight carbons on the ethylene bond, and dibasicity.
