A bimetallic catalyst system has been developed that for the first time allows the decarboxylative crosscoupling of aryl and acyl carboxylates with aryl triflates. In contrast to aryl halides, these electrophiles give rise to non-coordinating anions as byproducts, which do not interfere with the decarboxylation step that leads to the generation of the carbon nucleophilic crosscoupling partner. As a result, the scope of carboxylate substrates usable in this transformation was extended from ortho-substituted or otherwise activated derivatives to a broad range of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted aromatic carboxylates. Two alternative protocols have been optimized, one involving heating the substrates in the presence of CuI/1,10- phenanthroline (10-15 mol %) and PdI2/phosphine (23 mol%) in NMP for 1-24 h, the other involving CuI/l,10-phenanthroline (615mol%) and PdBr2/Tol-BINAP (2 mol % ) in NMP using microwave heating for 5-10 min. While most products are accessible using standard heating, the use of microwave irradiation was found to be beneficial especially for the conversion of non-activated carboxylates with functionalized aryl triflates. The synthetic utility of the transformation is demonstrated with 48 examples showing the scope and limitations of both protocols. In mechanistic studies, the special role of microwave irradiation is elucidated, and further perspectives of decarboxylase crosscouplings are discussed.

Acylation of phenols with carboxylic acids is performed in the presence of triethylamine and trimeric phosphonitrile chloride (phosphazene). At optimal ratios of the reactants, phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids and p-nitrophenyl ester of Boc-phenylalanine are prepared.

The n-butylaminolysis of nitro-substituted 4'-nitrophenyl benzoates and cinnamates as well as of phenylacetates in aprotic solvents is governed by a kinetic law implying higher order terms in nucleophile.It is shown that the attacking nucleophile forms a n-? type molecular complex with the substrate before reaching the transition state in the subsequent kinetic step.This molecular complex is a true reaction intermediate as evidenced by the observed negative activation enthalpy.Other nucleophile molecules intervene as general base catalysts.Tertiary amines also catalyse the reaction.Their catalytic activity is linearly related to their hydrogen bond forming ability and it is not a direct function of their proton basicity.By varying the nucleophile structure, an excellent Broensted relationship could be obtained for the first time in aprotic media, the β of which confirms that the catalytic collapse of tetrahedral intermediate is the rate determining step.The reaction of cinnamates turns out to be less sensitive to structural changes of the substrate than is the reaction of benzoates as shown by the corresponding Hammet ? values.The electronic effects of 2-nitro groups are strongly solvent dependent.Once more, it is established that whenever specific solvent effects (?-donor or n-donor ability) are present, they dominate the overall effect.A general reaction mechanism is proposed which not only explains the various roles played by the nucleophile but also accounts successfully for the great variety of kinetic schemes observed in aprotic media.
