In this work, it has been shown that aliphatic Ca'H oxidations by bioinspired catalyst systems Mn aminopyridine complex/H2O2/carboxylic acid in acetonitrile afford predominantly a mixture of the corresponding alcohol and the ester. The alcohol/ester ratio is higher for catalysts bearing electron-donating groups at the aminopyridine core. Isotopic labeling studies witness that the oxygen atom of the alcohol originates from the H2O2molecule, while the ester oxygen comes exclusively from the acid. Oxidation of ethylbenzene in the presence of acetic acid affords enantiomerically enriched 1-phenylethanol and 1-phenyl acetate, with close enantioselectivities and the same sign of absolute chirality. Experimental data and density functional theory calculations provide evidence in favor of the rate-limiting benzylic H atom abstraction by the high-spin (S = 1) [LMnV(O)OAc]2+active species followed by competitive OH/OC(O)R rebound. This mechanism has been unprecedented for Ca'H oxidations catalyzed by bioinspired Mn complexes. The trends governing the alcohol/ester ratios have been rationalized in terms of steric properties of the catalyst, acid, and substrate. copy; 2021 American Chemical Society.
Cobalt(II) Chloride Catalyzed Acylation of Alcohols with Acetic Anhydride: Scope and Mechanism

Cobalt(II) chloride catalyzes the acetylation of a variety of alcohols with acetic anhydride in excellent yield.Primary hydroxyl groups can be selectively acylated in the presence of secondary and tertiary ones while the secondary hydroxyl groups can be preferentially acetylated in the presence of tertiary ones.Tertiary alcohols have been found to give ketones, acetoacetates, olefins, and diketene in addition to the acetate.The β-hydroxy esters and ketones can be acylated under these conditions without any elimination, and this reaction has been compared with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP)-mediated acylations where elimination of the resulting β-acetoxy carbonyl compound is observed.A detailed investigation of the acylation of tertiary alcohols has revealed that these reactions proceed via a tertiary alkoxy radical and ketene.A mechanism for these acylations is proposed by invoking an electron-transfer process.
FUNCTIONALISATION OF SATURATED HYDROCARBONS. Part X. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHEMICAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES (GIF AND GIF-ORSAY SYSTEMS) IN PYRIDINE, IN ACETONE AND IN PYRIDINE-CO-SOLVENT MIXTURES

Six saturated hydrocarbons (cyclohexane, 3-ethylpentane, methylcyclopentane, cis- and trans-decalin and adamantane) were oxidised by the Gif system (iron catalyst, oxygen, zinc, carboxylic acid) and its electrochemical equivalent (Gif-Orsay system).Results obtained using various solvents (pyridine, acetone, pyridine-acetone mixtures) were similar for both systems.Total or partial replacement of pyridine with acetone affects the selectivity for secondary positions and lowers the ketone/secondary alcohol ratio.The formation of the same ratio of cis- and trans-decal-9-ol from both cis- and trans-decalin clearly demonstrates that tertiary alcohols result from a mechanism essentially radical in nature.
