Carbenium ion formation by fragmentation of electrochemically generated oxonium ions

Fragmentation of electrochemically generated oxonium ions can be exploited to form carbenium ions at a low oxidation potential in the presence of a nucleophile. The application of this concept is demonstrated for the allylation of carbenium ions generated by the anodic oxidation of stannylmethylethers.

Traceless directing group for stereospecific nickel-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions

Stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of benzylic 2-methoxyethyl ethers are reported for the preparation of enantioenriched 1,1-diarylethanes. The 2-methoxyethyl ether serves as a traceless directing group that accelerates cross-coupling. Chelation of magnesium ions is proposed to activate the benzylic C-O bond for oxidative addition.

[InCl4]: An efficient catalyst-medium for alkoxymethylation of alcohols and their interconversion to acetates and TMS-ethers

A simple, green and chemoselective method for methoxymethylation and ethoxymethylation of primary and secondary alcohols using a Lewis acidic room temperature ionic liquid, [C4mim][InCl4], as catalyst and reaction medium under ambient temperature, microwave and ultrasonic irradiations is reported. In this catalytic system, the corresponding MOM-and EOM-ethers are obtained in excellent yields and in short reaction times. Furthermore, this catalytic system was used for mild and efficient transformations of these protected alcohols to their corresponding acetates and trimethylsilyl ethers under thermal conditions and microwave and ultrasonic irradiations.
