Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
4-Chlorophenyl salicylate is used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for its analgesic and antipyretic properties, primarily for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and fever. It functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing the associated discomfort and symptoms.
Additionally, 4-chlorophenyl salicylate is used in combination with other medications such as acetaminophen or codeine to enhance pain relief. This combination therapy allows for a more effective management of pain while potentially reducing the dosage of each individual drug, which can help minimize side effects.
However, it is important to note that like other NSAIDs, 4-chlorophenyl salicylate may have side effects including gastrointestinal irritation, allergic reactions, or liver problems. Therefore, its use should be approached with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Synthesis of salicylates from anionically activated aromatic trifluoromethyl group

An efficient approach to salicylates via a novel transformation of anionically activated aromatic trifluoromethyl group is described. Anionically activated trifluoromethyl group can react with phenols/alcohols under alkaline conditions to afford aryl/alkyl salicylates in high yields. Mechanism studies indicate that the carbonyl oxygen atom of ester is from the H2O in the solvent.

Cerium photocatalyzed radical smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids

We report herein a cerium photocatalyzed aryl migration from an aryl ether to a carboxylic acid group through radical-Smiles rearrangement. This operationally simple protocol utilizes inexpensive CeCl3as a photocatalyst and converted a variety of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids into aryl-2-hydroxybenzoates in good yields.

N-Heterocyclic carbene/photo-cocatalyzed oxidative Smiles rearrangement: Synthesis of aryl salicylates from: O -aryl salicylaldehydes

The N-heterocyclic carbene/photo-cocatalyzed oxidative Smiles rearrangement of O-aryl salicylaldehydes was developed. Both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryls worked well as migrating groups, giving the corresponding aryl salicylates in good yields. This reaction features formation of two new C-O bonds and one C-O bond cleavage via metal-free oxidation of the Breslow intermediate using oxygen as the terminal oxidant and following the Smiles rearrangement under photocatalysis.

A photoredox-neutral Smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids

We report on the use of visible light photoredox catalysis for the radical Smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxybenzoic acids to obtain aryl salicylates. The method is free of noble metals and operationally simple and the reaction can be run under mild batch or flow conditions. Being a redox neutral process, no stoichiometric oxidants or reductants are needed.

Efficient Aryl Migration from an Aryl Ether to a Carboxylic Acid Group To Form an Ester by Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis

We have developed a highly efficient aryl migration from an aryl ether to a carboxylic acid group through retro-Smiles rearrangement by visible-light photoredox catalysis at ambient temperature. Transition metals and a stoichiometric oxidant and base are avoided in the transformation. Inspired by the high efficiency of this transformation and the fundamental importance of C?O bond cleavage, we developed a novel approach to the C?O cleavage of a biaryl ether to form two phenolic compounds, as demonstrated by a one-pot, two-step gram-scale reaction under mild conditions. The aryl migration exhibits broad scope and can be applied to the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, such as guacetisal. Primary mechanistic studies indicate that the catalytic cycle occurs by a reductive quenching pathway.

Carboxyl radical-assisted 1,5-aryl migration through Smiles rearrangement

We report herein, a silver(i)-catalyzed Smiles rearrangement of 2-aryloxy- or 2-(arylthio)benzoic acids to provide aryl-2-hydroxybenzoate or aryl-2-mercaptobenzoate dimer, respectively, through 1,5-aryl migration from oxygen or sulfur to carboxylate oxygen. Mechanistically, the aryl ether moiety undergoes an intramolecular ipso attack by the carboxyl radical followed by a C-O or C-S bond cleavage. Aryl-2-mercaptobenzoates undergo oxidative dimerization through a thiol moiety in situ.

The heteropolyacid catalyzed phenol method for synthesizing Arylester

The invention discloses a synthesis method of phenol by aromatic esterification by using heteropoly acid as a catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: adding fatty acid substituted phenol ester I, substituted benzoic acid II, reaction solvent and heteropoly acid into a reaction vessel provided with a thermometer, a water separator and a stirrer, reacting at 110-170 DEG C for 0.5-10 hours, wherein the reaction progress is monitored by TLC (thin layer chromatography) in the reaction process; and after the reaction is finished, centrifuging the reaction solution, taking the supernate, washing to remove the solvent, and carrying out recrystallization or column chromatography on the crude product to obtain the aromatic ester compound III. By using the heteropoly acid as the catalyst, compared with the traditional esterification reaction, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple after-treatment, and low pollution and environment friendliness due to use of a small amount of acid. The heteropoly acid is a solid acid, and can be recycled by filtration after the reaction is finished. The aromatic esterification reaction of exchanging ester with phenol is adopted to avoid the side reaction caused by high oxidation tendency of the substituted phenol in the reaction, so that the method is simpler to operate and has higher yield.

Formation of dibenzofurans by flash vacuum pyrolysis of aryl 2-(allyloxy)benzoates and related reactions

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of aryl 2-(allyloxy)benzoates 5 and of the corresponding aryl 2-(allylthio)benzoates 6 at 650°C, gives dibenzofurans 19 and dibenzothiophenes 20, respectively. The mechanism involves generation of phenoxyl (or thiophenoxyl) radicals by homolysis of the O-allyl (or S-allyl) bond, followed by ipso attack at the ester group, loss of CO2 and cyclisation of the resulting aryl radical. Synthetically, the procedure works well for p-substituted substrates, which lead to 2-substituted dibenzofurans 19b-f (73-90%) and dibenzothiophenes 20b-c (90-94%). Little selectivity is shown in the cyclisation of m-substituted substrates and competing interactions of the radical with the substituent - and ipso-attack - complicate the pyrolyses of o-substituted substrates. FVP of related radical precursors including 2-(allyloxy)phenyl benzoates 43 gave no dibenzofurans, whereas 2-(allyloxy-5-methyl)azobenzene 44 gave a much reduced yield. No carbazoles were obtained by FVP of 4-methylphenyl 2-(allylamino)benzoate 42.
