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

, (2021/03/23)
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

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 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

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 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.

Ferrand, Laura,Tang, Yue,Aubert, Corinne,Fensterbank, Louis,Mouriès-Mansuy, Virginie,Petit, Marc,Amatore, Muriel
, p. 2062 - 2065 (2017/04/28)
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.

The propensity of oxoammonium cations to facilitate the oxidative ring-opening of cyclic ethers to their corresponding distal hydroxy ketones is investigated. The reaction has been evaluated using experimental and computational methods to gain deeper insight into trends in reactivity.
Catalytic Carbocation Generation Enabled by the Mesolytic Cleavage of Alkoxyamine Radical Cations
Zhu, Qilei,Gentry, Emily C.,Knowles, Robert R.
, p. 9969 - 9973 (2016/08/16)
A new catalytic method is described to access carbocation intermediates via the mesolytic cleavage of alkoxyamine radical cations. In this process, electron transfer between an excited state oxidant and a TEMPO-derived alkoxyamine substrate gives rise to a radical cation with a remarkably weak C?O bond. Spontaneous scission results in the formation of the stable nitroxyl radical TEMPO.as well as a reactive carbocation intermediate that can be intercepted by a wide range of nucleophiles. Notably, this process occurs under neutral conditions and at comparatively mild potentials, enabling catalytic cation generation in the presence of both acid sensitive and easily oxidized nucleophilic partners.
