Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Carbonylative Transformation of Benzyl Aryl Carbonates: Direct Synthesis of Aryl 2-Arylacetates

A procedure on palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative alkoxycarbonylation of carbonates for the synthesis of aryl 2-arylacetates has been developed. A broad range of aryl 2-arylacetates were obtained in good yields under mild conditions under a carbon monoxide atmosphere. Interestingly, other alcohols can be added as nucleophiles as well, and the corresponding esters were also obtained in good yields.

Indium-Catalyzed Reductive Sulfidation of Esters by Using Thiols: An Approach to the Diverse Synthesis of Sulfides

A new reductive preparation of unsymmetrical sulfides from esters and thiols in the presence of InI3 and either 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) or PhSiH3 as the reductant was developed. This protocol was applied to not only benzoic acid esters that have a methoxy, methyl, chloro, bromo, iodo, or trifluoromethyl group on the aromatic ring but also aliphatic acid esters with either aromatic or aliphatic thiols. A reaction mechanism is proposed by using Hammett plot results and several control experiments. The reductive preparation of unsymmetrical sulfides from esters and thiols by using InI3 and either 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) or PhSiH3 was developed. Several mechanistic studies support that the present transformation proceeds through O,S-and S,S-acetals as the reaction intermediates. TMDS = 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, R = aliphatic group.
