CHARACTER OF THE PRODUCTS OF BROMINATION OF 1,3-DIOXACYCLANES WITH N-BROMOSUCCINIMIDE

The dependence of the character and composition of the products of the reaction of equimolar amounts of N-bromosuccinimide and 1,3-dioxacyclanes on the ring size and the character of the substituent in the 2 position of the 1,3-dioxacyclane ring was examined.Reasons for the primary formation of bromination products of different types for five-, six-, and seven-membered cyclic acetals are proposed.

Palladium(II) acetate catalyzed acylative cleavage of cyclic and acyclic ethers under neat conditions

During the development of a palladium catalyzed C–H activation cross-coupling reaction involving acyl halides, it was noted that palladium(II) acetate catalyzes the acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (used as a solvent) at room temperature to afford the corresponding 4-chlorobutyl ester derivative. After optimization, the reaction was shown to work well with epoxides, oxetane and tetrahydrofuran, but only barely with oxanes at room temperature. Acyclic ethers systematically failed to react under similar conditions, but underwent complete conversion in a microwave reactor at 100 °C.

Tetrahydrofuran ring opening with acyloxyphosphonium bromide catalysed by allylsamarium bromide: A novel and effective method for the preparation of 4-bromobutyl esters

A tetrahydrofuran ring can be opened with acyloxyphosphonium bromide generated in situ catalysed by allylsamarium bromide to afford 4-bromobutyl esters under mild conditions in good to excellent yields.
