Super electron donor-mediated reductive desulfurization reactions

The desulfurization of thioacetals and thioethers by a pyridine-derived electron donor is described. This methodology provides efficient access to the reduced products in high yields and does not require the use of transition-metals, elemental alkali-metals, or hydrogen atom donors.

Identification of alkylarene chloromethylation products using gas-chromatographic retention indices

Gas-chromatographic retention indices on standard nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane stationary phases allow identification of products formed by known organic reactions even without using mass-spectrometric data. The efficiency of this approach was demonstrated by the example of identification of previously uncharacterized chloromethyl derivatives of alkylarenes, including structural isomers of compounds containing several chloromethyl groups, directly in reaction mixtures. Chromatographic analysis of such reaction mixtures allows identification of positional isomers of the starting alkylarenes even when they are present simultaneously. The retention indices were determined for the first time for more than 50 alkyl-(chloromethyl)arenes, by-products of chloromethylation, and chloromethyl derivatives of the simplest alkyl phenyl ketones.

Decarbonylative diarylation of α-methoxyacetic acid yielding diarylmethanes mediated by Lewis acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride

Reaction of α-methoxyacetic acid with aromatic compounds in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride and Lewis acid has been found to give diarylmethanes. Some of the intermediates in this transformation have been identified via direct observation by 1H and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The reaction route has been clarified as follows: a mixed acid anhydride is formed from α-methoxyacetic acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride, which gives a hemiacylal type intermediate via decarbonylation followed by successive double electrophilic aromatic substitutions yielding diarylmethanes.
