K2CO3-promoted formation of aryl esters from primary aryl amides by the acyl-acyl exchange process

A new acyl-acyl exchange reaction has been developed for the formation of aryl esters from primary aryl amides. The reaction could occur under mild reaction conditions with catalytic quantities of K2CO3, and could afford moderate to good yields of the desired products.

Equilibrium shift in the rhodium-catalyzed acyl transfer reactions

Rhodium/phosphine complexes catalyze equilibrium acyl transfer reactions between acid fluorides, aryl esters, acylphosphine sulfides, and thioesters. The use of appropriate co-substrates to accept heteroatom groups shifted the equilibrium to desired products. Acylphosphine sulfides and aryl esters were converted to acid fluorides using benzoylpentafluorobenzene as the fluoride donor, and the fluorination reaction of thioesters employed (4-tolylthio) pentafluorobenzene. Acid fluorides were converted into acylphosphine sulfides and thioesters using diphosphine disulfides and disulfides/triphenylphosphine, respectively. Aryl esters were obtained from acid fluorides and phenols in the presence of triphenylsilane. Aryl esters, acylphosphine sulfides, and thioesters were also interconverted in the presence of rhodium complexes. These rhodium-catalyzed acyl transfer reactions proceeded under neutral conditions without using acid or base. The involvement of acyl rhodium intermediates in these reactions was suggested by the carbothiolation reaction of thioesters and alkynes.

Activation parameters of the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl benzoates and S-phenyl benzothioate with 4-chlorophenol in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate

The kinetics of transesterification of 4-nitrophenyl benzoates and S-phenyl benzothioate with 4-chlorophenol in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate were studied. Variation of the substrate reactivity and activation parameters of the process is discussed with respect to the substituent in the benzoic acid fragment.

Kinetics of the reaction of 4-nitrophenyl benzoates with 4-chlorophenol in the presence of potassium carbonate in dimethylformamide

The effect of the substituent in the benzoyl group on the relative rate and activation parameters of transesterification of substituted 4-nitrophenyl benzoates with 4-chlorophenol in dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate was studied by the competing reaction technique. The whole series of benzoates showed the enthalpy-entropy compensation effect. 4-Nitrophenyl benzoates having electronacceptor substituents give rise to isokinetic relationship with an isokinetic temperature β of 382 K. The mechanism of the transesterification process is discussed. Pleiades Publishing, Inc., 2006.

Evidence of substituent-induced electronic interplay. Effect of the remote aromatic ring substituent of phenyl benzoates on the sensitivity of the carbonyl unit to electronic effects of phenyl or benzoyl ring substituents

Carbonyl carbon 13C NMR chemical shifts δC(C=O) measured in this work for a wide set of substituted phenyl benzoates p-Y-C 6H4CO2C6H4-p-X (X = NO2, CN, Cl, Br, H, Me, or MeO; Y = NO2, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2) have been used as a tool to study substituent effects on the carbonyl unit. The goal of the work was to study the cross-interaction between X and Y in that respect. Both the phenyl substituents X and the benzoyl substituents Y have a reverse effect on δC(C=O). Electron-withdrawing substituents cause shielding while electron-donating ones have an opposite influence, with both inductive and resonance effects being significant. The presence of cross-interaction between X and Y could be clearly verified. Electronic effects of the remote aromatic ring substituents systematically modify the sensitivity of the C=O group to the electronic effects of the phenyl or benzoyl ring substituents. Electron-withdrawing substituents in one ring decrease the sensitivity of δC(C=O) to the substitution of another ring, while electron-donating substituents inversely affect the sensitivity. It is suggested that the results can be explained by substituent-sensitive balance of the contributions of different resonance structures (electron delocalization, Scheme 1).

The effect of acyl substituents on the α-effect: Contrasting α-effect profiles for reactions of 4-nitrophenyl substituted benzoates with neutral and anionic nucleophiles

The magnitude of the α-effect for reactions of 4-nitrophenyl substituted benzoates with a pair of anionic nucleophiles is independent of the electronic nature of the acyl substituent, while the one for the corresponding reactions with a pair of neutral nucleophiles increases as the acyl substituent changes from a strong electron withdrawing substituent to electron donating ones.

Evidence of a stepwise acyl-transfer reaction mechanism: Nonlinear hammett plots for reactions of p-nitrophenyl substituted benzoates with hydroxide and p-chlorophenoxide

The Hammett plots obtained for the title-reactions exhibit a break, i.e. ρ acyl values decrease from 2.21 ~ 2.44 to 1.45 ~ 1.52 as the acyl substituent becomes a strong electron withdrawing group (σ > 0.6). Such a break in the Hammett plots is suggestive of a change in the reaction mechanism and strong evidence of a stepwise mechanism for the acyl-transfer reaction.
