Protecting-group-free synthesis of hydroxyesters from amino alcohols

The synthesis of hydroxyesters from carboxylic acids and unprotected amino alcohols in both continuous flow and batch processes is reported. The formation of a transient diazonium species with a dinitrite reagent is key in this transformation. The reaction conditions are compatible with a variety of functional groups.

Kinetic Modeling of the Nickel-Catalyzed Esterification of Amides

Nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions provide exciting tools in chemical synthesis. However, most methodologies in this area require high catalyst loadings, which commonly range from 10-20 mol % nickel. Through an academic-industrial collaboration, we demonstrate that kinetic modeling can be used strategically to overcome this problem, specifically within the context of the Ni-catalyzed conversion of amides to esters. The successful application of this methodology to a multigram-scale coupling, using only 0.4 mol % Ni, highlights the impact of this endeavor.

Conversion of amides to esters by the nickel-catalysed activation of amide C-N bonds

Amides are common functional groups that have been studied for more than a century. They are the key building blocks of proteins and are present in a broad range of other natural and synthetic compounds. Amides are known to be poor electrophiles, which is typically attributed to the resonance stability of the amide bond. Although amides can readily be cleaved by enzymes such as proteases, it is difficult to selectively break the carbon-nitrogen bond of an amide using synthetic chemistry. Here we demonstrate that amide carbon-nitrogen bonds can be activated and cleaved using nickel catalysts. We use this methodology to convert amides to esters, which is a challenging and underdeveloped transformation. The reaction methodology proceeds under exceptionally mild reaction conditions, and avoids the use of a large excess of an alcohol nucleophile. Density functional theory calculations provide insight into the thermodynamics and catalytic cycle of the amide-to-ester transformation. Our results provide a way to harness amide functional groups as synthetic building blocks and are expected to lead to the further use of amides in the construction of carbon-heteroatom or carbon-carbon bonds using non-precious-metal catalysis.

4-(N,N -dimethylamino)pyridine hydrochloride as a recyclable catalyst for acylation of inert alcohols: Substrate scope and reaction mechanism

4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)pyridine hydrochloride (DMAP·HCl), a DMAP salt with the simplest structure, was used as a recyclable catalyst for the acylation of inert alcohols and phenols under base-free conditions. The reaction mechanism was investigated in detail for the first time; DMAP·HCl and the acylating reagent directly formed N-acyl-4-(N′,N′-dimethylamino) pyridine chloride, which was attacked by the nucleophilic substrate to form a transient intermediate that released the acylation product and regenerated the DMAP·HCl catalyst.

An efficient method for the preparation of tertiary esters by palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl bromides

The palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl bromides is described for the efficient preparation of tertiary esters. The protocol proved compatible with a wide variety of functionalized (hetero)aromatic bromides, as well as several different sterically hindered tertiary alcohols, affording the alkoxycarbonylated products in high yields. Finally, the formation of aromatic trityl esters is discussed.

Efficient method for the preparation of inverted alkyl carboxylates and phenyl carboxylates via oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone or simple 1,4-benzoquinone

Oxidation-reduction condensation using in situ formed alkoxydiphenylphosphines, 2,6-dimethy-1,4-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids provides a useful method for the preparation of inverted tertiary alkyl carboxylates from the corresponding chiral tertiary alcohols under mild and neutral conditions. Similarly, it has afforded alkyl carboxylates successfully in good-to-high yields by the combined use of alkoxydiphenylphosphines having primary, secondary, or tertiary alkoxy groups, carboxylic acids, and simple 1,4-benzoquinone. When chiral secondary or tertiary alcohols are used, the corresponding inverted secondary or tertiary alkyl carboxylates are also obtained in good-to-high yields. In addition, a convenient method for the preparation of phenyl carboxylates in high yields has been established by utilizing oxidation-reduction condensation in toluene at 110 °C using phenoxydiphenylphosphines in situ-formed from phenols and chlorodiphenylphosphine, 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids.

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.
