The iron-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of aryl alkenes has been developed using a highly active bench-stable iron(II) precatalyst to give α-aryl carboxylic acids in excellent yields and with near-perfect regioselectivity. Using just 1 mol % FeCl2, bis(imino)pyridine 6 (1 mol %), CO 2 (atmospheric pressure), and a hydride source (EtMgBr, 1.2 equiv), a range of sterically and electronically differentiated aryl alkenes were transformed to the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids (up to 96% isolated yield). The catalyst was found to be equally active with a loading of 0.1 mol %. Preliminary mechanistic investigations show that an iron-catalyzed hydrometalation is followed by transmetalation and reaction with the electrophile (CO2).

, (2008/06/13)
New meta-phenoxyphenyl propionic acid derivatives and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof having excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with low toxicity are provided. The new compounds are adapted for therapeutical treatment of various inflammatory diseases by oral administration without injurious by-effects; successive administrations for an elongated period are not accompanied with an appreciable gastric irritability and the like.
