Perfect switching of photoreactivity by acid: Photochemical decarboxylation versus transesterification of mesityl cyclohexanecarboxylate

(matrix presented) Mesityl cyclohexanecarboxylate has been photodecarboxylated upon excitation at 254 nm to form cyclohexylmesitylene in good yield in neutral acetonitrile solutions. In the presence of a catalytic amount of the acid and ethanol as a nucleophile, however, the same compound undergoes facile transesterification upon irradiation, affording its ethyl ester in almost quantitative yield.

Process for the preparation of alkylated aromatic carboxylic acids and acyl halides

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyalkylated aromatic carboxylic acids of formula I STR1 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently of one another hydrogen, C1 -C20 alkyl, halogen or C5 -C8 cycloalkyl, with the proviso that at least two of the substituents R1, R2, R3, R4 or R5 are alkyl and/or cycloalkyl, by reacting corresponding aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide, which reaction is carried out observing special ratios of temperature and pressure. The invention furthermore relates to a one-pot process for the preparation of the corresponding acyl halides.
