Voisin, Daniel,Gastambide, Bernard
, p. 1503 - 1504 (1985)
Symmetrical anhydrides are easily obtained at 20-80 deg C, with good yields, by action of tetracyanoethylene on organic carboxylic acids in benzene solutions containing a heteroaromatic nitrogen base or another base.
Size-Driven Inversion of Selectivity in Esterification Reactions: Secondary Beat Primary Alcohols
Mayr, Stefanie,Marin-Luna, Marta,Zipse, Hendrik
, p. 3456 - 3489 (2021/03/01)
Relative rates for the Lewis base-mediated acylation of secondary and primary alcohols carrying large aromatic side chains with anhydrides differing in size and electronic structure have been measured. While primary alcohols react faster than secondary ones in transformations with monosubstituted benzoic anhydride derivatives, relative reactivities are inverted in reactions with sterically biased 1-naphthyl anhydrides. Further analysis of reaction rates shows that increasing substrate size leads to an actual acceleration of the acylation process, the effect being larger for secondary as compared to primary alcohols. Computational results indicate that acylation rates are guided by noncovalent interactions (NCIs) between the catalyst ring system and the DED substituents in the alcohol and anhydride reactants. Thereby stronger NCIs are formed for secondary alcohols than for primary alcohols.

Rhodium-catalyzed C7-selective decarbonylative arylation, olefination, and methylation of indoles with carboxylic acids or anhydrides by C?H and C?C bond activation have been developed. Furthermore, C7-acylation products can also be generated selectively at a lower reaction temperature in the developed system. The key to the high reactivity and regioselectivity of this transformation is the appropriate choice of an indole N-PtBu2 chelation-assisted group. This method has many advantages, including easy access and removal of the directing group, the use of cheap and widely available coupling agents, no requirement of an external ligand or oxidant, a broad substrate scope, high efficiency, and the formation of a sole regioisomer.

In this paper, we report an efficient synthetic method for thioester formation from sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, organic halides, and aryl anhydrides. In the one-pot two-step reactions developed in this study, sodium thiosulfate was used as the sulfur surrogate for acylation with anhydrides, followed by substitution with organic halides through the in situ generation of thioaroylate. Furthermore, two important organic compounds could be successfully synthesized using our developed method. The advantages of the one-pot two-step reactions are operational simplicity, structurally diverse products with 42%-90% yields, use of relatively low toxic and odourless reagents, and easy applicability to large-scale operation.

A transition-metal-free oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been developed for the preparation of symmetrical carboxylic anhydrides through self-coupling dual C-O bond formations of aryl methanols. In the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide (TBPB) as transfer agent and aqueous tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and reactant, methylene groups of aryl methanols were efficiently oxidized to C=O and coupled with the peroxide oxygen from TBHP to form a diverse array of symmetrical carboxylic anhydride derivatives.
Cu-MOF: An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of symmetric anhydrides: Via the C-H bond activation of aldehydes
Ahmadzadeh, Zahra,Mokhtari, Javad,Rouhani, Morteza
, p. 24203 - 24208 (2018/07/25)
In this paper, an efficient and straightforward synthetic approach for the preparation of a number of symmetric carboxylic anhydrides was reported using Cu2(BDC)2(DABCO) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst via the C-H bond activation of aldehydes with excellent yields and simple work up. This C-H bond activation reaction appears simple and convenient, has a wide substrate scope and makes use of cheap, abundant, and easily available reagents. The Cu-MOF catalyst was recycled and reused four times without any loss of catalytic activity.

, p. 431 - 439 (2017/07/24)
Carboxylic acid derivatives are well recognized as important class of reagents frequently used in the preparation of a variety of fine or special chemicals such as amides, esters, peptides, drugs, and dyes. Although several methods were developed for the preparation of these compounds, many of them present difficulties, including low yield, high reaction temperature, harsh reaction conditions, tedious work-up, and incompatibility with scale-up. Methods: The synthesis of carboxylic anhydrides is developed through the reaction of carboxylic acids with TsCl in the presence of K2CO3 and acetonitrile as a solvent under ultrasound irradiation and conventional conditions. In addition, one-pot synthesis of acyl azides was carried out in the presence of produced carboxylic anhydrides and the addition of sodium azide under identical condition. Results: A series of carboxylic anhydrides and acyl azides were synthesized using TsCl under ultrasound irradiation and conventional stirring with simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and scale-up ability without any restriction. In most cases, the reaction under ultrasound irradiation was better in both yields and the reaction times compared to the conventional method. Conclusion: A convenient method has been developed for the preparation of carboxylic anhydrides and acyl azides under ultrasound irradiation and conventional stirring. The present method is practical and a highly effective alternative for previous reports. The major advantages of this method are: (i) simplicity of the procedure (ii) high yields and high purity of product (iii) scale-up capacity without considerable limitation in conventional system. Under ultrasound irradiation short reaction times as compared to conventional method are observed; yields are comparable to or better than conventional method.

We report on the use of charge-transfer complexes between amines and carbon tetrachloride, as a novel way to activate the amine for photochemical reactions. This principle is demonstrated in a mild, transition metal free, visible light assisted, dealkylative amide formation from feedstock carboxylic acids and amines. The low absorption coefficient of the complex allows deep light penetration and thus scale up to a gram scale.
Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed synthesis of anhydrides from twisted amides
Liu, Yongmei,Liu, Ruzhang,Szostak, Michal
, p. 1780 - 1785 (2017/03/09)
A novel synthesis of anhydrides from twisted amides is reported. Sc(OTf)3 catalysis in the presence of water is used to synthesize anhydrides in one step from amides without external nucleophiles. Mechanistic studies indicate that the coordination of the catalyst is critical to induce the challenging N-C activation step. This process further highlights the utility of twisted amides in organic synthesis. Notably, the reaction indicates that twisted amides based on the glutarimide scaffold are more reactive than carboxylic acid anhydrides under the developed conditions, which opens the door to controlled sequential catalysis through amide N-C bond cleavage.

The formation of acid anhydrides from the phosphorous-mediated activation of carboxylic acids was investigated. Under various systems, activation of benzoic acid in the presence of base led to the formation of benzoic anhydride at different rates depending on the reactivity of the reagents. Using the Ph3P-I2/Et3N combination, most aryl acids were converted into the corresponding anhydrides in high yields within 5-10 min. However, for nitro-substituted derivatives, unexpectedly, N,N-diethylamides were isolated without anhydride formation. These results indicated the pronounced effect of substituents in governing these potential side reactions which can significantly affect the yields of acylation reactions promoted by phosphonium species.
