Regenerative role of the red phosphorus in the couple 'HIaq/Pred'

The synthesis of ortho-substituted benzoic acid 3 from benzalphthalide 1 in the presence of 'hydriodic acid-red phosphorus' (HIaq/Pred) occurs via the formation of benzylphthalide 2 as reaction intermediate. Its preparation is optimized by use of the 'supported reaction in dry media' process (Silica/HIaq) under microwave irradiation for 8 min. The role of the red phosphorus in the reduction reaction is elucidated: it intervenes in a catalytic cycle by an oxido-reductive disproportionation with the liberated iodine, affording either hypophosphorous acid in aqueous media, or P2I4 in anhydrous media with concomitant regeneration of HI. Thus, the presence of Pred in the couple 'HIaq/Pred' allows recycling of the hydriodic acid and enhances its reducing efficiency.

The remote C(sp3)-H cyanation of carboxamides has been described by merging photoredox and copper catalysis in a site-selective and enantiocontrolled manner. The protocol is the integration of photoinduced and nitrogen-centered radical-mediated intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer with chiral copper-complex-catalyzed radical cyanation. This strategy gives enantio-enriched cyanated amides in high yields.

A new method for the formation of γ- and δ-lactones from carboxylic acids through direct conversion of benzylic C-H to C-O bonds is described. The reaction is conveniently induced by visible light and relies on a mild cooperative catalysis by the combination of molecular iodine and an organic dye.

A Comprehensive Study on Metal Triflate-Promoted Hydrogenolysis of Lactones to Carboxylic Acids: From Synthetic and Mechanistic Perspectives
Zhu, Rui,Jiang, Ju-Long,Li, Xing-Long,Deng, Jin,Fu, Yao
, p. 7520 - 7528 (2017/11/10)
Direct hydrogenolysis of lactone to carboxylic acid (i.e., hydrogenolysis of the Calkoxy-O bond with the carbonyl group untouched) is generally difficult, as the current strategies employing Br?nsted acids as the catalyst usually require harsh conditions such as a high temperature and a high H2 pressure. Herein, we report a developed solvent-free catalytic transformation, in which W(OTf)6 is believed to promote the hydrogenolysis process. This strategy could efficiently hydrogenate lactones to carboxylic acids under extra mild conditions (e.g., a reaction temperature of 2) and showed a broad substrate scope. In addition, the catalytic protocol can be further applied to the hydrogenolysis of polyhydroxyalkanoate, as a renewable polymer, to the corresponding straight-chain carboxylic acids. An extensive mechanistic study was subsequently performed, and the density functional theory calculations revealed a reaction pattern, including the complete cleavage of the C=O bond with the assistance of the W(OTf)6 catalyst. Moreover, the key intermediate created in the mechanism, as an oxonium with an OTf moiety, was successfully detected by electrospray ionization mass spectra. Through a comparison with the Br?nsted acid-catalyzed system, the study confirmed that the existence of the OTf moiety can significantly lower the barriers associated with the rearrangement and elimination processes. Meanwhile, emphasis was placed on the critical role that the anion plays, as well as the fact that the anion effect is directly related to the chemoselectivity.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 1437 - 1442 (2012/07/03)
A chemoselective reduction of olefins and acetylenes is demonstrated by employing catalytic amounts of ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl 3·6 H2O) and aqueous hydrazine (NH 2NH2·H2O) as hydrogen source at room temperature. The reduction is chemoselective and tolerates a variety of reducible functional groups. Unlike other metal-catalysed reduction methods, the present method employs a minimum amount of aqueous hydrazine (1.5-2 equiv.). Also, the scope of this method is demonstrated in the synthesis of ibuprofen in aqueous medium. Copyright
