Acting as an environmentally benign synthetic tool, the cross-coupling reactions with aryl ethers via C-O bond activation have attracted broad interest. However, the functionalizations of C-O bonds are mainly limited to nickel catalysis, and selectivity has long been a prominent challenge when several C-O bonds are present in the one molecule. We report here the first chromium-catalyzed selective cross-coupling reactions of aryl ethers with Grignard reagents by the cleavage of C-O(alkyl) bonds. Diverse transformations were achieved using simple, inexpensive chromium(II) precatalyst combining imino auxiliary at room temperature. It offers a new avenue for buildup functionalized aromatic aldehydes with high efficiency and selectivity.
Catalytic oxidative cyclization of 2′-arylbenzaldehyde oxime ethers under photoinduced electron transfer conditions

A series of 2′-arylbenzaldehyde oxime ethers were synthesized and shown to generate the corresponding phenanthridines upon irradiation in the presence of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene in acetonitrile. Mechanistic studies suggest that the oxidative cyclization reaction sequence is initiated by an electron transfer step followed by nucleophilic attack of the aryl ring onto the nitrogen of the oxime ether. A concave downward Hammett plot is presumably the result of a change in charge distribution in the radical cation species with strongly electron-donating substituents that yields a less electrophilic nitrogen atom and a decreased amount of cyclized product. The reaction is selective (no nitrile byproduct is formed unlike other photochemical reactions involving aldoxime ethers) as well as regiospecific when using 2′-aryl groups with metasubstituents, making this reaction a useful alternative for preparing substituted phenanthridines.
First and mild synthesis of fluorene-9-malonic acid and some substituted derivatives via the intramolecular hydroarylation of 2-phenylbenzylidenemalonic acids
Chosson, Elizabeth,Rochais, Christophe,Legay, Remi,Santos, Jana Sopkova De Oliveira,Rault, Sylvain,Dallemagne, Patrick
experimental part, p. 2548 - 2554 (2011/04/25)
Hitherto unknown fluorene-9-malonic acid and some substituted derivatives were easily synthesized in very mild conditions through the intramolecular hydroarylation of 2-phenylbenzylidenemalonic acids issued from the corresponding biphenylcarboxaldehydes.
