Efficient method for the preparation of carboxylic acid alkyl esters or alkyl phenyl ethers by a new-type of oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and alkoxydiphenylphosphines

A new-type of oxidation-reduction condensation proceeded smoothly to afford carboxylic acid alkyl esters or alkyl phenyl ethers in good to high yields by combined use of alkoxydiphenylphosphines (1) having primary, bulky secondary or tertiary alkoxy groups, a mild quinone-type oxidant such as 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ) and carboxylic acids or phenols. Generally, alkoxydiphenylphosphines were prepared easily from chlorodiphenylphosphine (2) and alcohols in the presence of pyridine, and were isolated by distillation. On the other hand, the phosphines 1 were also prepared in situ from N,N-dimethylaminodiphenylphosphine (3a) and primary or secondary alcohols while primary, bulky secondary or tertiary alkoxydiphenylphosphines were alternatively formed in situ by adding 2 to the "BuLi-treated alcohols in order to perform the above reactions by a one-pot procedure from alcohols and nucleophiles. The reaction of thus formed 1, DMBQ and carboxylic acids or phenols afforded the corresponding alkylated products, including hindered secondary and tertiary alkylated ones, in good to high yields at room temperature. In the case of using chiral secondary alcohols, the corresponding carboxylic acid alkyl esters were obtained as well in high yields with perfect inversion of stereochemistry by SN2 replacement.

Preparation of various carboxylic acid esters from bulky alcohols and carboxylic acids by a new type oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone

A new-type oxidation-reduction condensation by using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ), carboxylic acids and in situ formed alkoxydiphenylphosphines (1) including the bulky alkoxy group-substituted ones proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding carboxylic acid esters in good to high yields. Alkoxydiphenylphosphines were formed in situ by treating either N,N-dimethylaminodiphenylphosphine (Ph2PNMe2) with primary or secondary alcohols or chlorodiphenylphosphine with the lithium salts of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Hypervalent (tert-butylperoxy)iodanes generate iodine-centered radicals at room temperature in solution: Oxidation and deprotection of benzyl and allyl ethers, and evidence for generation of α-oxy carbon radicals

1-(tert-Butylperoxy)-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (1a) oxidizes benzyl and allyl ethers to the esters at room temperature in benzene or cyclohexane in the presence of alkali metal carbonates. Since this reaction is compatible with other protecting groups such as MOM, THP, and TBDMS ethers, and acetoxy groups, and because esters are readily hydrolyzed under basic conditions, this new method provides a convenient and effective alternative to the usual reductive deprotection. Oxidation with 1a occurs readily with C-H bonds activated by both enthalpic effects (benzylic, allylic, and propargylic C-H bonds) and/or polar effects (α-oxy C-H bonds), generating α-oxy carbon-centered radicals, which can be detected by nitroxyl radical trapping. Measurement of the relative rates of oxidation for a series of ring-substituted benzyl n-butyl ethers 2d and 2p-s indicated that electron-releasing groups such as p-MeO and p-Me groups increase the rate of oxidation, and Hammett correlation of the relative rate factors with the σ+ constants of substituents afforded the reaction constant ρ+ = -0.30. The large value of the isotope effect obtained for the oxidation of benzyl n-butyl ether 2d (k(H)/k(D) = 12-14) indicates that the rate-determining step of the reactions probably involves a high degree of benzylic C-H bond breaking. The effects of molecular dioxygen were examined, and the mechanism involving the intermediacy of the tert-butylperoxy acetal 5 and/or the hydroperoxy acetal 32 is proposed. Particularly noteworthy is the finding that (tert-butylperoxy)iodane 1a can generate the tert-butylperoxy radical and the iodine-centered radical 33a, even at room temperature in solution, via homolytic bond cleavage of the hypervalent iodine(III)-peroxy bond.

13C NMR DETERMINATION OF THE CONFORMATIONAL EQUILIBRIA IN THE ACETATES, BENZOATES AND N-PHENYLCARBAMATES OF 1-METHYLCYCLOHEXANOL AND CYCLOHEXANOL

Thermodynamic parameters for the conformational equilibria in the acetates, benzoates and N-phenylcarbamates of 1-methylcyclohexanol and cyclohexanol have been determined using low temperature natural abundance 13C nmr, from which -ΔG0 values at room temperature and above are obtained.Good agreement between these values and those determined at the higher temperatures using Eliel's method is found, providing care is exercised in correcting the chemical shifts of the model compounds used to the shifts of pure conformers of the 1,1-disubstituted cyclohexanes.Calculated values for -ΔG0 agree reasonably with experimental values with the exception of that for the 1-methylcyclohexyl N-phenylcarbamate.The effect of non polar solvent changes is minimal, but greater for CD3OD.

ANOMALOUS ORIENTATION EFFECTS DURING BENZOYLOXYLATIONS BY "SILVER BROMIDE DIBENZOATE"

The solid complex formed from bromine and silver benzoate reacts with both arenes and alkenes to form aryl and alkyl benzoates, respectively.Highly unusual substituent effects are observed in the benzoyloxylations of arenes.Electron-withdrawing groups (e.g. -NO2, -CN,-CO-) on the aromatic ring facilitate reaction though directing the attacking reagent exclusively to the meta position.In alkanes, tertiary positions are most prone to attack.
