We report conversion of esters to thioestersviaselective C-O bond cleavage/weak C-S bond formation under transition-metal-free conditions. The method is notable for a general and practical transition-metal-free system, broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. The strategy was successfully deployed in late-stage thioesterification, site-selective cross-coupling/thioesterification/decarbonylation and easy-to-handle gram scale thioesterification. Selectivity and computational studies were performed to gain insight into the formation of weak C-S bonds by C-O bond cleavage, which contrasts with the traditional trend of nucleophilic additions to carboxylic acid derivatives.

The amide C-N cleavage has drawn a broad interest in synthetic chemistry, biological process and pharmaceutical industry. Transition-metal, luxury ligand or excess base were always vital to the transformation. Here, we developed a transition-metal-free hydrogen-bond-assisted esterification of amides with only catalytic amount of base. The proposed crucial role of hydrogen bonding for assisting esterification was supported by control experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and kinetic studies. Besides broad substrate scopes and excellent functional groups tolerance, this base-catalyzed protocol complements the conventional transition-metal-catalyzed esterification of amides and provides a new pathway to catalytic cleavage of amide C-N bonds for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry.

An alternative route for boron phenoxide preparation from arylboronic acid and its application for C[sbnd]O bond formation
Joo, Seong-Ryu,Kim, Seung-Hoi,Lim, In-Kyun
, (2020/08/06)
An efficient synthetic route to benzyl phenyl ether preparation has been successfully developed via a one-pot synthetic protocol utilizing a combination of arylboronic acids, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and benzyl halides. The whole procedure consists of two consecutive reactions, formation of boron phenoxide from arylboronic acids and its nucleophilic attack. A simple operation under mild conditions such as room-temperature ionic liquid (choline hydroxide), aerobic environment, and absence of metal- and base-catalysts has been employed. Expansion to utilize benzyl surrogates was also successfully accomplished.

, p. 4357 - 4361 (2019/07/09)
The first fluoride and palladium co-catalyzed conversion of amide to ester through an aerobic oxidative coupling pathway is reported. This new approach presents a practical process that employs easily available oxygen and commercially available arylboronic acids as coupling partners, uses a wide range of N- tosylamides, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This protocol demonstrates broad functional group tolerance, and provides an alternative option to synthesize esters from N-tosylamides which obtained by simply N-functionalization of secondary amides.
Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Aryl Redoxactive Esters with Aryl Zinc Reagents
Shih, Bo-Hao,Basha, R. Sidick,Lee, Chin Fa
, p. 8862 - 8866 (2019/09/30)
A nickel-catalyzed aryl-aroyloxyl C(sp2)-O radical cross-coupling reaction conducted using a redox active ester with aryl zinc reagent was developed. This method demonstrates a new disconnection approach for formation of aryl aryl esters. In the one-pot sequential process, the readily available aryl carboxylic acids can be converted into functionalized aryl aryl esters and heteroaryl esters. This protocol is amenable to the gram-scale synthesis. The present method has a wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance.

Here we report for the first-time various organic transformations such as aldol condensation, oxidation, nucleophilic substitutions, protection, acylations and coupling reactions using a mechanochemical approach at a controlled temperature using a single synthesis platform. Almost minimal solvents or solvent-free conditions are used, making it a very efficient and clean synthesis of various products. A jacketed screw reactor when operated at different temperatures (0 °C to 160 °C) and over a range of rotation speeds for changing the residence time (15 s-300 s) helped to achieve maximum conversion. This approach is also extended to the synthesis using substrates having different substitutions, heterocycles and steric hindrance.

A general, transition-metal-free, and operationally simple method for esterification of amides by a highly selective cleavage of N-C(O) bonds under exceedingly mild conditions is reported. The reaction is characterized by broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. The potential of this mild esterification is highlighted by late-stage diversification of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Conceptually, the metal-free acyl functionalization of amides represents a significant step forward as a practical alternative to ligand exchange in acylmetal intermediates.

Poly(3,4-dimethyl-5-vinylthiazolium) iodide was used as a polymer precatalyst in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and phenazine for the oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols. Selective functionalization of OH groups was achieved in the presence of NH2 groups. The poly(thiazolium) iodide/DBU/phenazine system exhibited excellent catalytic activity and could be reused five times without loss of activity.
