Pinacols afforded the corresponding pinacolones in high yields in the presence of the polyphosphoric acid trimethylsilyl ester (PPSE) at a temperature above 80 deg C.Tetraphenylethylene oxide, in addition to benzopinacolone, was obtained in the reaction of benzopinacol under milder conditions.The solvent effect suggested that the rearrangement proceeded via the carbonium-ion intermediate.

Silica-supported orthophosphoric acid (OPA/SiO2): preparation, characterization, and evaluation as green reusable catalyst for pinacolic rearrangement

In this paper, we report an easy-to-prepare, cost-effective, efficient, and reusable silica-supported orthophosphoric acid (OPA) catalyst for pinacolic rearrangement. The surface properties of this catalyst were successfully characterized with the help of 31P NMR, TGA, DSC, FT-IR, titration, and microscopy. OPA, hydrogen bonded on the surface, is actually the active species and the reaction seems to occur in the liquid phase embedded in the silica support. As a consequence, the extracting solvent should be chosen with cautious to guarantee the recyclability of the catalyst. As example, pinacol rearrangement reactions were successfully realized with this catalyst and OPA/SiO2 proved to be as efficient as homogeneous orthophosphoric acid to promote the reaction of pinacol derivatives. When using dichloromethane as extracting solvent, OPA/SiO2 can be reuse up to ten times without a significant loss of activity. After ten runs, no physical damage of the catalyst has been observed by microscopy proving its suitability for such application.

A microwave-irradiated solvent-free pinacol rearrangement of hydrobenzoin substrates catalyzed by a combination of N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide and FeCl3·6H2O was developed. Its selectivity was first investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Then the functional group tolerance was examined by synthesizing a series of substrates designed based on the insight provided by the DFT calculations. The application of the methodology was demonstrated by the efficient one-pot synthesis of (±)-latifine and (±)-cherylline, both are 4-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids isolated from Amaryllidacecae plants.
