Benzylic C?H Functionalisation by [Et3SiH+KOtBu] leads to Radical Rearrangements in o-tolyl Aryl Ethers, Amines and Sulfides

Reaction of Et3SiH+KOtBu with diaryl ethers, sulfides and amines that feature an ortho alkyl group leads to rearrangement products. The rearrangements arise from formation of benzyl radicals, likely formed through hydrogen atom abstraction by triethylsilyl radicals. The rearrangements involve cyclisation of the benzyl radical onto the partner arene, which, from computation, is the rate determining step. In the case of diaryl ethers, Truce-Smiles rearrangements arise from radical cyclisations to form 5-membered rings, but for diarylamines, cyclisations to form dihydroacridines are observed. (Figure presented.).

Impregnated copper on magnetite as catalyst for the O-arylation of phenols with aryl halides

Nanoparticle Fe3O4 encapsulated CuO, as a heterogeneous catalyst, is a facile system for the synthesis of diaryl ethers by the cross-coupling reaction of various substituted aryl halides with various substituted phenols, which avoids using any type of expensive ligand and can be recovered from the reaction mixture by using a simple magnet. Moreover, this catalyst can be reused three times with high catalytic activity.

KF/Clinoptilolite, an effective solid base in Ullmann ether synthesis catalyzed by CuO nanoparticles

Employing KF/Clinoptilolite as an efficient base the cross-coupling reactions of various phenols with aryl iodides could be successfully carried out in the presence of copper oxide nanoparticles. The C-O coupling products were obtained in moderate to good yields (62-87%) for a variety of substrates. The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2014.

Metal-free synthesis of aryl ethers in water

The first arylation of allylic and benzylic alcohols with diaryliodonium salts is reported. The reaction yields alkyl aryl ethers under mild and metal-free conditions. Phenols are arylated to diaryl ethers in good to excellent yields. The reaction employs diaryliodonium salts and sodium hydroxide in water at low temperature, and excess amounts of the coupling partners are avoided.

Ligand-free catalytic system for the synthesis of diarylethers over Cu 2O/Cu-CNTs as heterogeneous reusable catalyst

Various substituted diarylether derivatives were prepared by using heterogeneous reusable Cu2O- and Cu-coated carbon nanotubes (Cu 2O/Cu-CNTs) as catalyst under ligand-free conditions, which provided good to excellent yields. The catalyst was characterized by TEM, XRD, and AAS analysis. The effects of solvent, base, and amount of catalyst for the O-arylation were investigated. The catalyst could be recovered by simple filtration from the reaction mixture without further treatment and reused several times with consistent catalytic activity. In addition, CNTs could also be recovered from the used Cu2O/Cu-CNTs by a simple acid treatment.

Copper(II) trans-bis-(glycinato): An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for cross coupling of phenols with aryl halides

Copper(II) trans-bis-(glycinato) complex, easily prepared by the solid state reaction of copper(II) acetate and glycine (trans-[Cu(glyo) 2·H2O]) was found to be an efficient, recyclable, and high yielding catalyst for the Ullmann type synthesis of diaryl ethers via the cross coupling of phenols with aryl halides without using any additives at relatively low reaction temperature. The catalyst could easily be recovered by simple filtration and was reused for several runs with consistent catalytic activity.

Metal-free arylation of oxygen nucleophiles with diaryliodonium salts

Phenols and carboxylic acids are efficiently arylated with diaryliodonium salts. The reaction conditions are mild, metal free, and avoid the use of halogenated solvents, additives, and excess reagents. The products are obtained in good-to-excellent yields after short reaction times. Steric hindrance is very well tolerated, both in the nucleophile and diaryliodonium salt. The scope includes ortho- and halo-substituted products, which are difficult to obtain by metal-catalyzed protocols. Many functional groups are tolerated, including carbonyl groups, heteroatoms, and alkenes. Unsymmetric salts can be chemoselectively utilized to obtain products with hitherto unreported levels of steric congestion. The arylation has been extended to sulfonic acids, which can be converted to sulfonate esters by two different approaches. With recent advances in efficient synthetic procedures for diaryliodonium salts the reagents are now inexpensive and readily available. The iodoarene byproduct formed from the iodonium reagent can be recovered quantitatively and used to regenerate the diaryliodonium salt, which improves the atom economy. Copyright

Low catalyst loadings for copper-catalyzed O-arylation of phenols with aryl and heteroaryl halides under mild conditions

A practical and mild strategy has been developed for the cross-coupling of O-arylation of phenol with differently substituted aryl halides and heteroaryl iodides using low catalyst loading of copper iodide under low operating temperature in DMF with TMHD as the ligand and Cs2CO3 as the base. This method tolerates a variety of functional groups including sterically hindered phenols and heteroaryl iodides to afford products in good to excellent yields (up to 95%).

Aminoarenethiolato-copper(I) as (pre-)catalyst for the synthesis of diaryl ethers from aryl bromides and sequential C-O/C-S and C-N/C-S cross coupling reactions

A small library of 2-aminoarenethiolato-copper(I) (CuSAr) complexes was tested as (pre-)catalysts in the arylation reaction of phenols with aryl bromides. These copper(I) (pre-)catalysts are thermally stable, soluble in common organic solvents, and allow reactions of 6 h at 160 °C with low catalyst loadings of 2.5 mol %. Among the (pre-)catalysts screened, 2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]benzenethiolato-copper(I) (1c) led to the best results and provided good to excellent yields of various substituted diaryl ethers. Mechanistic studies showed that at early stages of the C-O coupling reaction the CuSAr complex is converted into CuBr(PhSAr) via selective coupling of the monoanionic arenethiolato ligand with phenyl bromide with formation of CuBr. In addition, the first results are shown involving a multi-component reaction (MCR) protocol for the in situ synthesis of propargylamines and their subsequent conversion involving a C-O cross coupling reaction. Furthermore, two examples of sequential C-O/C-S and C-N/C-S cross coupling reactions have been carried out on the same dihalo-pyridine substrate in a one-pot process with the same (CuSAr) (pre-)catalyst (overall yields 40-80%).

CuO nanoparticles catalyzed C-N, C-O, and C-S cross-coupling reactions: Scope and mechanism

CuO nanoparticles have been studied for C-N, C-O, and C-S bond formations via cross-coupling reactions of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles with aryl halides. Amides, amines, imidazoles, phenols, alcohols and thiols undergo reactions with aryl iodides in the presence of a base such as KOH, Cs 2CO3, and K2CO3 at moderate temperature. The procedure is simple, general, ligand-free, and efficient to afford the cross-coupled products in high yield.
