Cleavage of Carboxylic Esters by Aluminum and Iodine

A one-pot procedure for deprotecting carboxylic esters under nonhydrolytic conditions is described. Typical alkyl carboxylates are readily deblocked to the carboxylic acids by the action of aluminum powder and iodine in anhydrous acetonitrile. Cleavage of lactones affords the corresponding ω-iodoalkylcarboxylic acids. Aryl acetylates undergo deacetylation with the participation of the neighboring group. This method enables the selective cleavage of alkyl carboxylic esters in the presence of aryl esters.

In the following we describe the synthesis of the first Leaf Movement Factor from Mimosa pudica L.(M-LMF 1).Proceeding from functionalized derivatives of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (gentisic acid) and D-glucose we obtained by Koenigs-Knorr reaction the pro
