Pd-Catalyzed solvent-controlled site-selective arene C-H monoacyloxylation of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives

An efficient and highly regioselective Pd-catalyzed direct arene C(sp2)-H acyloxylation of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives is reported. The key strategy involves the utilization of the unique reactivity of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and the employment of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine as the directing group. A variety of monoacyloxylated pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives can be achieved by switching the solvents under mild conditions, and they can be further modified and exhibit various biological activities.

Copper(II) Tetrafluoroborate-Catalyzed Acetylation of Phenols, Thiols, Alcohols, and Amines

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate efficiently catalyzes acetylation of structurally diverse phenols, alcohols, thiols, and amines with stoichiometric amounts of Ac2O under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. Acid-sensitive alcohols are smoothly acetylated without competitive side reactions. The reaction is influenced by the steric and electronic factors associated with the substrate as well as the anhydride. Acetylation of a sterically hindered substrate requires excess of anhydride and longer time. Acylation with less electrophilic anhydrides affords poor to moderate yields.

Erbium(III) triflate as an extremely active acylation catalyst

Erbium(III) triflate is a powerful catalyst for the acylation of alcohols and phenols. The reaction works well for a large variety of simple and functionalized substrates by using different kinds of acidic anhydrides {Ac 2O, (EtCO)2O, [(CH3)3CO] 2O, Bz2O, and (CF3CO)2O} without isomerisation of chiral centres. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily recycled and reused without significant loss of activity.
