Catalytic conversion of ketones to esters: Via C(O)-C bond cleavage under transition-metal free conditions

The catalytic conversion of ketones to esters via C(O)-C bond cleavage under transition-metal free conditions is reported. This catalytic process proceeds under solvent-free conditions and offers an easy operational procedure, broad substrate scope with excellent selectivity, and reaction scalability. This journal is

Bu 4 NI-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage and Oxidative Esteri??cation of Allyl Alcohols with Toluene Derivatives

A novel oxidative esterification of 1-arylprop-2-en-1-ols with toluene derivatives catalyzed by tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is reported. The optimization of the reaction conditions illustrates that each of experiment parameters including the catalyst, solvent, and oxidant is significant for present oxidative functionalization. This metal-free protocol has a broad substrate scope including the halogen groups for further functionalization and enriches the reactivity profile of allyl alcohol and toluene derivatives. In addition, this protocol represents a new transformation of allyl alcohol involving C-C bond cleavage and C-O bond forming.

Cesium Carbonate Catalyzed Esterification of N-Benzyl- N-Boc-amides under Ambient Conditions

We report a general activated amide to ester transformation catalyzed by Cs2CO3. Using this approach, esterification proceeds under relatively mild conditions and without the need for a transition metal catalyst. This method exhibits broad substrate scope and represents a practical alternative to existing esterification strategies. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated via the facile synthesis of crown ether derivatives and the late-stage modification of a representative natural product and several sugars in reasonable yields.

Flow chemistry as a discovery tool to access sp2-sp3 cross-coupling reactions via diazo compounds

The work takes advantage of an important feature of flow chemistry, whereby the generation of a transient species (or reactive intermediate) can be followed by a transfer step into another chemical environment, before the intermediate is reacted with a coupling partner. This concept is successfully applied to achieve a room temperature sp2-sp3 cross coupling of boronic acids with diazo compounds, these latter species being generated from hydrazones under flow conditions using MnO2 as the oxidant.

Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of thiols, alcohols, and oxygen for the synthesis of esters

Copper-catalyzed, one-pot, three-component coupling reactions using thiols, alcohols, and oxygen to form a variety of esters in good yields were studied. In the presence of easily oxidized benzylic and allylic alcohols, thiols were selectively oxidized to form thionoesters, which underwent facile S/O exchange to afford esters. Thiols may be used as an alternative benzoyl source under mild aerobic conditions.

Cu-catalyzed esterification reaction via aerobic oxygenation and C-C bond cleavage: An approach to α-ketoesters

The Cu-catalyzed novel aerobic oxidative esterification reaction of 1,3-diones for the synthesis of α-ketoesters has been developed. This method combines C-C σ-bond cleavage, dioxygen activation and oxidative C-H bond functionalization, as well as provides a practical, neutral, and mild synthetic approach to α-ketoesters which are important units in many biologically active compounds and useful precursors in a variety of functional group transformations. A plausible radical process is proposed on the basis of mechanistic studies.

Transition metal free oxidative esterification of alcohols with toluene

Using Bu4NI as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant, direct esterification of alcohols with toluene derivatives was achieved. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the alcohols are sequentially oxidized to aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and then to benzyl esters. Bu 4N+ functions as a phasetransfer reagent and iodide catalyzes the reaction.

Dimethylbut-2-ynedioate mediated esterification of acids via sp3 C-N bond cleavage of benzylic tertiary amines

A straightforward synthetic transformation of tertiary amines to the esterification of equimolar amounts of acids was demonstrated in this manuscript. The present protocol can be regarded as a straightforward synthetic transformation of tertiary amines to the esterification of equimolar amounts of acid. Moreover, the reaction is fundamentally new chemistry for the sp 3 C-N bond cleavage coupled with esterification. The esterification reaction conditions are very mild and functional group-tolerated, such as hydrosilanes, alcohols, phenol, and amino acids. A mechanism is proposed in which the tertiary amine reacts with dimethyl but-2-ynedioate to form zwitterionic salt, and then the zwitterionic intermediate subsequently accept hydrogen to assist the nucleophilic attack of oxygen atom of carboxyl group at the benzyl group of tertiary amine, while a separate reaction pathway leads to esterification.

Inhibitory effects of benzyl benzoate and its derivatives on angiotensin II-induced hypertension

Hypertension is a lifestyle-related disease which often leads to serious conditions such as heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage. Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in regulating cardiovascular homeostasis. Consequently, antagonists that block the interaction of Ang II with its receptors are thought to be effective in the suppression of hypertension. In this study, we searched for plant compounds that had antagonist-like activity toward Ang II receptors. From among 435 plant samples, we found that EtOH extract from the resin of sweet gum Liquidambar styraciflua strongly inhibited Ang II signaling. We isolated benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate from this extract and found that those compounds inhibited the function of Ang II in a dose-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. An in vivo study showed that benzyl benzoate significantly suppressed Ang II-induced hypertension in mice. In addition, we synthesized more than 40 derivatives of benzyl benzoate and found that the meta-methyl and 3-methylbenzyl 2′-nitrobenzoate derivatives showed about 10-fold higher activity than benzyl benzoate itself. Thus, benzyl benzoate, its derivatives, and benzyl cinnamate may be useful for reducing hypertension.
