Aldol condensation between phenylacetates and benzaldehydes affords 2,3- diaryl-3-hydroxypropanoates which are convened into pterocarpans via stepwise deprotection and cyclization in moderate to high yields.

The present invention provides a method for converting an aromatic hydrocarbon to a phenol by providing an aromatic hydrocarbon comprising one or more aromatic C-H bonds and one or more activated C-H bonds in a solvent; adding a phthaloyl peroxide to the solvent; converting the phthaloyl peroxide to a di-radical; contacting the di-radical with the one or more aromatic C-H bonds; oxidizing selectively one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds in preference to the one or more activated C-H bonds; adding a hydroxyl group to the one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds to form one or more phenols; and purifying the one or more phenols.

Methods for carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond oxidation have a fundamental role in synthetic organic chemistry, providing functionality that is required in the final target molecule or facilitating subsequent chemical transformations. Several approaches to oxidizing aliphatic C-H bonds have been described, drastically simplifying the synthesis of complex molecules. However, the selective oxidation of aromatic C-H bonds under mild conditions, especially in the context of substituted arenes with diverse functional groups, remains a challenge. The direct hydroxylation of arenes was initially achieved through the use of strong Bronsted or Lewis acids to mediate electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions with super-stoichiometric equivalents of oxidants, significantly limiting the scope of the reaction. Because the products of these reactions are more reactive than the starting materials, over-oxidation is frequently a competitive process. Transition-metal-catalysed C-H oxidation of arenes with or without directing groups has been developed, improving on the acid-mediated process; however, precious metals are required. Here we demonstrate that phthaloyl peroxide functions as a selective oxidant for the transformation of arenes to phenols under mild conditions. Although the reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism, aromatic C-H bonds are selectively oxidized in preference to activated-H bonds. Notably, a wide array of functional groups are compatible with this reaction, and this method is therefore well suited for late-stage transformations of advanced synthetic intermediates. Quantum mechanical calculations indicate that this transformation proceeds through a novel addition-abstraction mechanism, a kind of 'reverse-rebound' mechanism as distinct from the common oxygen-rebound mechanism observed for metal-oxo oxidants. These calculations also identify the origins of the experimentally observed aryl selectivity.

Synthesis of neoflavenes by ligand coupling reactions with aryllead triacetates
Donnelly, Dervilla M.X,Finet, Jean-Pierre,Guiry, Patrick J,Nesbitt, Karl
, p. 413 - 423 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of 4-methoxycarbonylchroman-3-one with aryllead triacetates gave the 4-aryl derivatives after 3-4h reaction times in moderate to good yields. Unexpectedly, 2,4-diarylated derivatives were also obtained after longer reaction times. The activating methyl ester group proved difficult to remove by standard decarboxylation procedures. 4-Benzyloxycarbonylchroman-3-ones were therefore prepared and reacted with aryllead triacetates to afford the corresponding 4-aryl derivatives. These were subsequently decarboxylated, reduced and dehydrated to afford neoflavenes in modest overall yields.
Synthesis of isoflavonoids. Enantiopure cis- and trans-6a-hydroxypterocarpans and a racemic trans-pterocarpan

Aldol condensation between phenylacetates and benzaldehydes affords 2,3-diaryl-3-hydroxypropanoates which serve as common precursors to both the first racemic trans-pterocarpan and enantiopure cis- and trans-6a-hydroxypterocarpans.
