Silicaphosphine (Silphos): A filterable reagent for the conversion of alcohols and thiols to alkyl bromides and iodides

Silicaphosphine (Silphos), [P(Cl)3-n(SiO2) n], as a new heterogeneous reagent is introduced. This reagent converts alcohols and thiols to their corresponding bromides and iodides in the presence of X2 (X=Br, I) in refluxing CH3CN in high to quantitative yields. Use of Silphos provides a highly practical method for the easy separation of the Silphos oxide byproduct by a simple filtration.

Silica Chloride (SiO2-Cl), a New Heterogeneous Reagent, for the Selective and Efficient Conversion of Benzylic Alcohols to Their Corresponding Chlorides and Iodides

Structurally different benzylic alcohols were efficiently converted to their corresponding chlorides by silica chloride (SiO2-Cl) in CHCl3 at room temperature. Silica chloride is also able to convert benzylic alcohols to their iodides in the presence of NaI in a mixture of CH3CN/CHCl3 in excellent yields.

An easy synthesis of lepidopterene from 9-chloromethyl anthracene. Evidence for a free radical mechanism

This communication reports a novel and efficient synthesis of lepidopterene from 9-(chloromethyl)anthracene. Furthermore, the radical nature of the process is unambiguously established through the obtention of several 9-anthracenemethyl derivatives, which are formed via a common 9-anthracenemethyl radical intermediate, derived from 9-(iodomethyl)anthracene.
