Herein we report a nickel-catalyzed aryl addition/intramolecular esterification in a cascade fashion. Under the combination of commercially available nickel precursor and tridentate ligand, the one pot protocol offers a direct, simple and regioselective approach to access 3-aryl phthalide derivatives from two readily available substrates with good efficiency, broad scope as well as satisfactory functional group compatibility.

We report that ruthenium complexes effectively catalyzed the carboxylate-directed addition of aromatic C-H bonds to aldehydes. The reactions of aromatic acids with a variety of aromatic aldehydes including unactivated ones proceeded efficiently to give the corresponding isobenzofuranone derivatives in high yields. The combination of ruthenium(II) complexes with tricyclohexylphosphine led to highly nucleophilic aryl-metal species, which enabled versatile [3 + 2] cycloaddition in the absence of a Lewis acid. This paper also demonstrates the application of supported ruthenium catalysts to the title reaction.

A synthetic protocol to isoindoles is reported through one-electron reductions of dibenzo[1,4]diazocines. The utility of the approach has been demonstrated through the synthesis of six novel isoindole derivatives. Photophysical measurements revealed emissions between 440 and 460 nm. A reaction mechanism, supported by experimental results and quantum chemical calculations, is postulated.
Efficient Transfer of Chelating Amides into Different Types of Esters and Lactones

We describe a general and versatile approach for the conversion of carboxylic acid amides into their corresponding esters despite the fact that the former are thermodynamically more stable. The transformations are mediated by the coordination of CuI by a chelating entity. The resulting weakening of the amide bond allows for nucleophilic attack by alcoholic hydroxyl functions. The principle is demonstrated for a wide variety of transformations, leading to different kinds of esters and lactones. Due to their high resonance energy, amides are generally very stable towards solvolysis. However, bispicolylamides can be activated for alcoholysis by an unusual metal coordination involving the electron pair of the amide nitrogen. Herein, we widened the scope of the reaction by transforming the amides into a range of esters and lactones.
Photoenolisation. XI. Photooxydation des o-methylbenzophenones

Photoenols 2 of 2- (1a), 2,4- (1b), 2,5- (1c), 2,6- (1d), 2,2'- (1e) and 2,3'-dimethylbenzophenones (1f) were trapped by (3)O2.When a 350 nm wavelength Hg lamp (Rayonet RPR 100) was used (benzene solution) with ketones 1a-c, the corresponding 2-formyl- 4 and 2-carboxybenzophenones 8 were formed as well as 3-phenyl-phtalides 10.Compounds 4 arose from dehydration of the intermediate endoperoxydes 3.Throught photoenolisation, 2-formylbenzophenones 4 gave the intermediate ketene-enols 5 which either isomerised to phtalides 10 or added oxygen to form the corresponding endoperoxydes 6; the latter isomerised to peracids 7, which, by reaction with aldehydes 4, yielded the carboxylic acids 8.When the aerated irradiations were performed simultaneously with 350 nm light and with light above 380 nm (Hanovia 679 A-36, benzene solution), ketones 1a-f yielded the same compounds 4, 8 and 10 but also anthraquinones 13.The latter arose from reversible cyclisation of photoenols 2 E giving dihydroanthranols 11 which were trapped by oxygen, yielding the anthrones 12 which were subsequently photooxidized to anthraquinones 13.With 2,6-dimethylbenzophenone (1d), the corresponding photoenols 2 were trapped for the first time.Compounds 8d, and 13d were absent, but instead 1-carboxyanthraquinone 15 was obtained.The latter can arise from 1-methylanthraquinone 13d trough photoenolisation-oxidation process alredy reported for this compound.With 2,2'-dimethylbenzophenone 1e, 3,3'-spirobiphtalide 14 was obtained instead 2-methyl-2'-carboxybenzophenone 8e; the latter, through a photoenolisation-oxidation process analogous to that described in the second paragraph, yielded 2,2'-dicarboxybenzophenone which underwent dehydration to compound 14.Under the same conditions (Hanovia) but in acetic acid solution, anthraquinones 13 were not formed with ketones 1a-f, due to rapid reketonisation of photoenols 2 E in this medium; however, compounds 4, 8, 10 and 14 were produced.Products 8, 10, 13, 14 and 15 were isolated and characterised or identified.Yields were deduced from actual weights of the isolated compounds (carboxylic acids 8 and 15) and from GLC determinations (compounds 4, 10, 13 and 14).
