Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (BSI): Acidity and application to hydrofunctionalization as a Br?nsted acid catalyst

A binaphthyl derivative, bearing bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (BSI) moiety, was developed as a novel Br?nsted acid. Computational prediction of the pKa value of BSI indicated its classification as a strong Br?nsted acid. BSI catalyzed the h

Aryl Boronic Acid Catalysed Dehydrative Substitution of Benzylic Alcohols for C?O Bond Formation

A combination of pentafluorophenylboronic acid and oxalic acid catalyses the dehydrative substitution of benzylic alcohols with a second alcohol to form new C?O bonds. This method has been applied to the intermolecular substitution of benzylic alcohols to form symmetrical ethers, intramolecular cyclisations of diols to form aryl-substituted tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran derivatives, and intermolecular crossed-etherification reactions between two different alcohols. Mechanistic control experiments have identified a potential catalytic intermediate formed between the aryl boronic acid and oxalic acid.

Visible-Light-Induced C-O Bond Formation for the Construction of Five- and Six-Membered Cyclic Ethers and Lactones

Visible-light-induced intramolecular C-O bond formation was developed using 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPT), which allows the regiocontrolled construction of cyclic ethers and lactones. The reaction is likely to proceed through the single-electron oxidation of the phenyl group, followed by the formation of a benzylic radical, thus preventing a competing 1,5-hydrogen abstraction pathway. Detailed mechanistic studies suggest that molecular oxygen is used to trap the radical intermediate to form benzyl alcohol, which undergoes cyclization. This new approach serves as a powerful platform by providing efficient access to valuable five- and six-membered cyclic ethers and lactones with a unified protocol.

Visible light-promoted ring-opening functionalization of unstrained cycloalkanols via inert C-C bond scission

Described herein is a novel, useful, visible light-promoted ring-opening functionalization of unstrained cycloalkanols. Upon scission of an inert cyclic C-C σ-bond, a set of medium- and large-sized rings are readily brominated under mild reaction conditio

Indium Catalyzed Hydrofunctionalization of Styrene Derivatives Bearing a Hydroxy Group with Organosilicon Nucleophiles

Hydrofunctionalization is one of the most important transformation reactions of alkenes. Herein, we describe the development of an indium-triiodide-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkenes bearing a hydroxy group using various types of organosilicon nucleophiles. Indium triiodide was the most effective catalyst, whereas typical Lewis acids such as TiCl4, AlCl3, and BF3·OEt2 were ineffective. Many functional groups were successfully introduced, and these resulted in yields of 31-86%. Various styrene derivatives were also applicable to this reaction. Mechanistic investigation revealed that the present hydrofunctionalization proceeded through Br?nsted acid-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of alkenes followed by InI3-catalyzed substitution reaction of cyclic ether intermediates.

Cyclic ether synthesis from diols using trimethyl phosphate

Cyclic ethers have been effectively synthesized via the intramolecular cyclization of diols using trimethyl phosphate and NaH. The present cyclization could proceed at room temperature to produce 5-7 membered cyclic ethers in good to excellent yields. Substrates possessing a chiral secondary hydroxy group were transformed into the corresponding chiral cyclic ethers along with the retention of their stereochemistries.

Niobium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Addition of O-H and N-H Bonds to Alkenes: A Tool for Hydrofunctionalization

A convenient, versatile, and easy to handle intramolecular hydrofunctionalization of alkenes (C-O and C-N bonds formation) is reported using a novel niobium-based catalytic system. This atom economic and eco-friendly methodology provides an additional synthetic tool for the straightforward formation of valuable building blocks enabling molecular complexity. Various pyran, furan, pyrrolidine, piperidine, lactone, and lactam derivatives as well as spirocyclic compounds are produced in high yields and selectivities.

Simple salts of abundant metals (Fe, Bi, and Ti) supported on montmorillonite as efficient and recyclable catalysts for regioselective intramolecular and intermolecular hydroalkoxylation reactions of double bonds and tandem processes

The transfer of catalytic hydroalkoxylation reactions of olefins from homogeneous to heterogeneous conditions has been studied using two types of solid catalysts, namely montmorillonite (MMT) doped with metal cations and metal nanoparticles supported on oxides. In the case of intramolecular reactions, 38-99% yields of cyclic ethers have been obtained using Fe-MMT and Bi-MMT both in CH3NO2 and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) compared with other supported metal salts or metal nanoparticles. In the case of more challenging intermolecular reactions, conversions up to 72% and yields up to 54% were obtained with metal-doped MMT as well, such as Fe-, Bi-, and Ti-MMT. In this paper, we detail the substrate scope and limitations for both classes of reactions and tandem processes, their transposition in flow and some mechanistic insights concerning the active species, in processes identified as truly heterogeneously catalysed. As a general trend, it was observed that trisubstituted double bonds allowed the best results both in intra- and intermolecular reactions. The transfer of homogeneous catalysts onto heterogeneous ones in the case of Fe-MMT and Bi-MMT was successful and even allowed enhanced catalytic activities in the case of Bi-MMT.
