The hydroperoxidation of alkyl enol ethers using N-hydroxyphthalimide and molecular oxygen occurred in the absence of catalyst, initiator, or light. The reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism that is initiated by N-hydroxyphthalimide-promoted autoxidation of the enol ether substrate. The resulting dioxetane products decompose in a chemiluminescent reaction that allows for photochemical activation of N-hydroxyphthalimide in the absence of other light sources.

Preparation of α-aryl acetophenones from styryl ethers and aryldiazonium salts is described. The reaction is catalyzed by palladium acetate at room temperature in the absence of ligand and base. The developed method is highly attractive in terms of reaction conditions, substrate scope, functional group tolerance and yields. Synthetic applications of the present method are demonstrated by preparing α-aryl indoles and 3-aryl isocoumarin from styryl ethers.

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) is one of the most well-known fundamental reactions in organic chemistry to generate new molecules from two molecules. In principle, a nucleophile attacks from the back side of an alkylating agent having a suitable leaving group, most commonly a halide. However, alkyl halides are expensive, very harmful, toxic and not so stable, which makes them problematic for laboratory use. In contrast, trialkyl phosphates are inexpensive, readily accessible and stable at room temperature, under air, and are easy to handle, but rarely used as alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Here, we describe a mild, straightforward and powerful method for nucleophilic alkylation of various N -, O -, C - and S -nucleophiles using readily available trialkyl phosphates. The reaction proceeds smoothly in excellent yield, and quantitative yield in many cases, and covers a wide range of substrates. Further, the rare stereoselective transfer of secondary alkyl groups has been achieved with inversion of configuration of chiral centers (up to 98% ee).

Efficient cleavage of aryl-ether linkages is a key strategy for generating aromatic chemicals and fuels from lignin. Currently, a popular method to depolymerize native/technical lignin employs a combination of Lewis acid and hydrogenation metal. However, a clear mechanistic understanding of the process is lacking. Thus, a more thorough understanding of the mechanism of lignin depolymerization in this system is essential. Herein, we propose a detailed mechanistic study conducted with lignin model compounds (LMC) via a synergistic Co-Zn/Off-Al H-beta catalyst that mirrors the hydrogenolysis process of lignin. The results suggest that the main reaction paths for the phenolic dimers exhibiting α-O-4 and β-O-4 ether linkages are the cleavage of aryl-ether linkages. Particularly, the conversion was readily completed using a Co-Zn/Off-Al H-beta catalyst, but 40% of α-O-4 was converted and β-O-4 did not react in the absence of a catalyst under the same conditions. In addition, it was found that the presence of hydroxyl groups on the side chain, commonly found in native lignin, greatly promotes the cleavage of aryl-ether linkages activated by Zn Lewis acid, which was attributed to the adsorption between Zn and the hydroxyl group. Followed by the cobalt catalyzed hydrogenation reaction, the phenolic dimers are degraded into monomers that maintain aromaticity. This journal is
One-Pot Preparation of C1-Homologated Aliphatic Nitriles from Aldehydes through a Wittig Reaction under Metal-Cyanide-Free Conditions
Ezawa, Masatoshi,Togo, Hideo
, p. 2379 - 2384 (2017/05/01)
A one-pot protocol to obtain C1-homologated aliphatic nitriles was achieved by treating aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with the (methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium ylide followed by hydrolysis of the resulting methyl vinyl ethers with pTsOH (Ts = para-toluenesulfonyl) and treatment with molecular iodine and aqueous ammonia under metal cyanide free conditions. Neopentyl-type nitriles, which could not be obtained by conventional methods that involved conversion of the neopentyl alcohol into a tosylate and treatment with metal cyanide, were successfully obtained by using the present method.

The efficient cleavage of lignin β-O-4 ether bonds to produce aromatics is a challenging and attractive topic. Recently a growing number of studies have revealed that the initial oxidation of CαHOH to CαO can decrease the β-O-4 bond dissociation energy (BDE) from 274.0 kJ mol-1 to 227.8 kJ mol-1, and thus the β-O-4 bond is more readily cleaved in the subsequent transfer hydrogenation, or acidolysis. Here we show that the first reaction step, except in the above-mentioned pre-oxidation methods, can be a Cα-OH bond dehydroxylation to form a radical intermediate on the acid-redox site of a NiMo sulfide catalyst. The formation of a Cα radical greatly decreases the Cβ-OPh BDE from 274.0 kJ mol-1 to 66.9 kJ mol-1 thereby facilitating its cleavage to styrene, phenols and ethers with H2 and an alcohol solvent. This is supported by control experiments using several reaction intermediates as reactants, analysis of product generation and by radical trap with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy) as well as by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dehydroxylation-hydrogenation reaction is conducted under non-oxidative conditions, which are beneficial for stabilizing phenol products.

Two libraries of substituted benzimidazoles were designed using a 'scaffold-hopping' approach based on reported MDM2-p53 inhibitors. Substituents were chosen following library enumeration and docking into an MDM2 X-ray structure. Benzimidazole libraries were prepared using an efficient solution-phase approach and screened for inhibition of the MDM2-p53 and MDMX-p53 protein-protein interactions. Key examples showed inhibitory activity against both targets.

The gold(i) complex [Au(dppbO)Cl] was synthesized by reaction of Na[AuCl4]·2H2O with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (dppb) in the presence of water. This is a new method for the synthesis of a bisphosphine monoxide gold(i) complex. The new gold(i) complex was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. In the solid state structure a relatively short contact between the oxygen atom of the phosphine oxide group and the gold center was observed. The catalytic activity of [Au(dppbO)Cl] was tested for three different intermolecular alkyne hydrofunctionalization reactions. Silver tetrafluoroborate was used as co-catalyst for halide abstraction. While the bisphosphine monoxide gold(i) complex showed moderate activity for the hydration of various alkynes and the hydroamination of phenyl acetylene, high activity was observed for the hydroarylation of ethylpropiolate. Electron-rich arenes add very fast to the C-C triple bond but with relatively low selectivity.

body text, p. 32 - 34 (2011/03/16)
We report here the first transition-metal-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov intermolecular hydroalkoxylation of terminal acetylenes to give enol ethers in high yields without using bases. Arylacetylenes as well as alkenyl- and alkylacetylenes were coupled with aliphatic alcohols, and the products were obtained with high Z selectivity in most cases. Effective catalysts were 8-quinolinolato rhodium complexes, which are structurally simple but have been relatively unexplored as catalysts.
