Reduced Phenalenyl in Catalytic Dehalogenative Deuteration and Hydrodehalogenation of Aryl Halides

Dehalogenative deuteration reactions are generally performed through metal-mediated processes. This report demonstrates a mild protocol for hydrodehalogenation and dehalogenative deuteration of aryl/heteroaryl halides (39 examples) using a reduced odd alternant hydrocarbon phenalenyl under transition metal-free conditions and has been employed successfully for the incorporation of deuterium in various biologically active compounds. The combined approach of experimental and theoretical studies revealed a single electron transfer-based mechanism.

Method for synthesizing alkyl-2-naphthyl ether

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing alkyl-2-naphthyl ether. 2-naphthol, a catalyst and dialkyl carbonate are heated to 110-120 DEG C, dialkyl carbonate is added dropwise, a mixed solution of dialkyl carbonate and corresponding alcohol is fractionated out during dropwise addition, the temperature is controlled not to exceed 200 DEG C, reaction is stopped when conversion of 2-naphtholreaches 95% or higher, inorganic boric acid and a dehydration solvent are added, unreacted 2-naphthol is removed, and rectification or recrystallization is performed, and a pure product is obtained. The process route has little corrosion to equipment, few 'three wastes' emissions and low environmental pollution.
