Practical Ligand-Free Copper-Catalysed Short-Chain Alkoxylation of Unactivated Aryl Bromides

An efficient and practical short-chain alkoxylation of unactivated aryl bromides has been developed with special attention focussed on the applicability of the reaction. Sodium alkoxide is used as the nucleophile, and the corresponding alcohol as the solvent. The reaction requires neither precious metals nor organic ligands. It uses a catalytic system consisting of copper(I) bromide as a catalyst, the corresponding alkyl formate as a noncontaminating cocatalyst, and lithium chloride as an additive. A wide range of substrates and test cases highlight the synthetic utility of the approach. Considering the commercial accessibility and affordability of the feedstocks, this protocol shows promise as a new alternative for the sustainable preparation of aryl alkyl ethers.

Reductive cleavage versus hydrogenation of allyl aryl ethers and allylic esters using sodium borohydride/catalytic ruthenium(III) in various aqueous solvent mixtures

The reduction of allyl aryl ethers using sodium borohydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium(III) chloride in various aqueous solvent mixtures at 0 °C was examined. In aqueous tetrahydrofuran, hydrogenation was the favored pathway (85-100% yield of the corresponding aryl propyl ether); whereas in aqueous N-methylformamide, reductive cleavage predominated (4:1 mixture of phenolic product/aryl propyl ether). In order to gain some insight into the mechanism for this process, 3-octyn-1-ol and trans-2-decen-1-yl acetate were subjected to similar reductive conditions; and both substrates afforded products inconsistent with a single-electron-transfer mechanism.

Organosoluble copper clusters as precatalysts for carbon - Heteroelement bond-forming reactions: Microwave and conventional heating

(Chemical Equation Presented). The coupling of aryl iodides with alcohols under mild conditions has been explored using self-assembled octanuclear copper clusters as catalysts. Reactions involving tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol were typically complete in 4-8
