Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of sec-Benzylic Ethers

Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 3-arylpropionate esters starting from secondary benzylic ethers. With this investigation it could be shown that ethers are suitable starting materials in addition to the established carbonylation reactions of olefins, alcohols, or aryl halides.

ANOMALOUS REDUCTION OF ALIPHATIC-AROMATIC KETONES BY THE COMPLEX HYDRIDES OF BORON

During the reduction of XC6H4COCH3 by the action of sodium borohydride or potassium borohydride in a water-methanol medium the ethers XC6H4CH(OCH3)CH3 and not the corresponding alcohols were obtained.The formation of the ethers indicates that the O-Calkyl (and not O-B) bond is broken in the intermediate tetraalkoxyborate if a stable carbocation of the benzylic type, further stabilized by an electron-donor group at the ortho or para position of the benzene ring, is formed.
