Unsymmetric di(heteroaryl) ethers were synthesized by the rhodium-catalyzed heteroaryl exchange reaction of heteroaryl aryl ethers and heteroaryl esters at equilibrium. Diverse unsymmetric di(heteroaryl) ethers containing five- and six-membered heteroaren

A variety of functionalized biaryls can be accessed by coupling aryl and heteroaryl esters with boronic acids in Suzuki-Miyaura-type decarbonylative cross-coupling catalyzed by an affordable catalyst system composed of Ni(cod)2 and PCy3. The methodology is tolerant of a variety of functional groups and presents an attractive alternative to the use of palladium catalysis currently used in industry to acquire such bis(hetero)aryls, but also reveals challenges associated with nickel catalysis of esters in cross-coupling chemistry.

We report a metal-free procedure for transformation of phenols into esters and amides of benzoic acids via a new radical cascade. Diaryl thiocarbonates and thiocarbamates, available in a single high-yielding step from phenols, selectively add silyl radicals at the sulfur atom of the CdS moiety. This addition step, analogous to the first step of the Barton-McCombie reaction, produces a carbon radical which undergoes 1,2 OfC transposition through an O-neophyl rearrangement. The usually unfavorable equilibrium in the reversible rearrangement step is shifted forward via a highly exothermic C-S bond scission in the O-centered radical, which furnishes the final benzoic ester or benzamide product. The metal-free preparation of benzoic acid derivatives from phenols provides a potentially useful alternative to metal-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl triflates.
