In this work, a Cs2CO3-promoted synthetic approach was identified for (hetero)aryl ether synthesis via the C?O coupling of various (hetero)aryl chlorides and alcohols/phenol. To our delight, the reactions could be carried out under transition-metal-free and solvent-free conditions. Moreover, analytical-grade reagents and air atmosphere were readily tolerated. To showcase the practical usefulness of the present protocol, the assembly of a bioactive molecule was facilely realized and the gram-scale production of selected ether products was also efficiently accomplished. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) studies, along with a few mechanistic experiments, were conducted to elucidate a proposed reaction pathway and rationalize the pivotal role of Cs2CO3 in promoting this process. Hopefully, this work could provide useful information for researchers who are engaging in C?O cross-coupling reactions.
HSAB-driven chemoselective N1-alkylation of pyrimidine bases and their 4-methoxy- or 4-acetylamino-derivatives

The lithium salts of the conjugated bases of 4-methoxy- and 4-acetylamino-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1-3 undergo highly chemoselective N1-methylation or ethylation when treated with methyl- or ethylsulfate (hard electrophiles) in dry dioxane, while the use of DMF as solvent results in competitive O2-alkylation. Potassium salts of the same bases in DMF undergo prevalent O2-attack. Under the same conditions, a similar but less chemoselective behaviour is observed in alkylation of thymine and uracil, where some N3-attack occurs. This can be rationalised in terms of the HSAB principle.

In order to provide a general synthetic method for carbocyclic nucleosides, regioselectivities in Mitsunobu reaction of purine, pyrimidin-2-one and their substituted derivatives with a variety of alcohols with a variety of alcohols were examined and found to depend upon both substituents of the bases and kind of the alcohols.
The Mechanism of Thermal Eliminations. Part 18. Relative Rates of Pyrolysis of 2-Ethoxypyrazine, 3-Ethoxypyridazine, 2-and 4-Ethoxypyrimidine, 3-Chloro-6-ethoxypyridazine, and 2-Chloro-4-ethoxypyrimidine : the Effect of the Aza 'Substituent' and ?-Bond Order on the Elimination Rate

A kinetic study has been made of the first-order thermal decomposition of the title compounds into ethylene and the corresponding aza-substituted pyridines, between 650 and 713 K.The relative elimination rates at 650 K are (2-ethoxypyridine = 1): 0.545, 10.0, 1.03, 1.12, 9.68, and 3.28, respectively.The electronic effects of the aza 'substituent' are small, and a more important factor appears to be the C-N ?-bond order; this latter accounts for the high reactivity of the pyridazines.The effects of the chloro substituent and of the aza 'substituent' are explicable in terms of a balance between electron withdrawal from the C-O bond (producing deactivation) and from the nitrogen involved in the cyclic transition state (producing deactivation).The effects of the chloro substituents confirm that the most important step of the reaction is breaking of the C-O bond.The statistically corrected rate (per ring nitrogen) of 2-ethoxypyrimidine is unexpectedly low.This may reflect difficulty in achieving the coplanar transition state in which the lone pairs in the s-orbitals of oxygen and the nitrogen not involved in the elimination are brought into close proximity.
