Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Carbonylation of Aryl Hydrazines with CO and O2 at Atmospheric Pressure

Palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative aminocarbonylation and alkoxycarbonylation reactions with aryl hydrazines as coupling partners have been developed. The oxidative carbonylation of aryl hydrazines proceeded smoothly at atmospheric pressure CO, employi

Visible-light-triggered direct benzoyloxylation of electron-rich arenes at room temperature without chelation assistance

A RuII photocatalytic method was developed for the direct mono-benzoyloxylation of electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic systems even with an excess amount of benzoyl peroxide. The reaction was conducted at room temperature under visible light. The direct ArC-H benzoyloxylations occur without the assistance of any directing groups and can also tolerate various functional groups that have already shown diverse reactivities in transition-metal catalysis.

REGIOSELECTIVITY OF COMPLEXATIONS OF SUBSTITUTED PHENYL BENZOATES AND PHENYL PHENYLACETATES WITH Cr(CO)6

Selectivity of complexation of substituted phenyl benzoates is very low.In most cases, comparable yields of both regioisomeric complexes are isolated.Exception is 4-chlorophenyl ester, where benzoic acid moiety is complexed nearly exclusively.Very high regioselectivity of complexation was observed with substituted phenyl phenylacetates.The substituent of substituted phenols has not any effect on the complexation, and only phenylacetic acid moiety is complexed.This observation supports the recently proposed mechanism of the catalytic activity of the esters at arene complexation.
