Ligand-Free Copper-Catalyzed Ullmann-Type C?O Bond Formation in Non-Innocent Deep Eutectic Solvents under Aerobic Conditions

An efficient and novel protocol was developed for a Cu-catalyzed Ullmann-type aryl alkyl ether synthesis by reacting various (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br, I) with alcohols as active components of environmentally benign choline chloride-based eutectic mixtures. Under optimized conditions, the reaction proceeded under mild conditions (80 °C) in air, in the absence of additional ligands, with a catalyst [CuI or CuII species] loading up to 5 mol% and K2CO3 as the base, providing the desired aryloxy derivatives in up to 98 % yield. The potential application of the methodology was demonstrated in the valorization of cheap, easily available, and naturally occurring polyols (e. g., glycerol) for the synthesis of some pharmacologically active aryloxypropanediols (Guaiphenesin, Mephenesin, and Chlorphenesin) on a 2 g scale in 70–96 % yield. Catalyst, base, and deep eutectic solvent could easily and successfully be recycled up to seven times with an E-factor as low as 5.76.

Site-Selective, Copper-Mediated O-Arylation of Carbohydrate Derivatives

Site-selective functionalization of hydroxy groups in sugar derivatives is a major challenge in carbohydrate synthesis. Methods for achieving this goal will provide efficient access to new sugar-derived chemical building blocks and will facilitate the preparation or late-stage modification of complex oligosaccharides for applications in glycobiology research and drug discovery. Here, we describe site-selective, copper-promoted couplings of boronic acids with carbohydrate derivatives. These reactions generate sugar-derived aryl ethers, a structural class that is challenging to generate by other means and has not previously been accessed in a site-selective fashion. Experimental evidence and computational modeling suggest that the formation of a sugar-derived boronic ester intermediate is crucial to the selectivity of these processes, accelerating the arylation of an adjacent hydroxy group. The results demonstrate how the interactions of sugars with boron compounds can be combined with transition metal catalysis to achieve new chemical reactivity.

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular aryl c-o bond formation with SDP(O) ligand: Enantioselective synthesis of (2,3-Dihydrobenzo[ b ][1,4]dioxin-2-yl)methanols

Employing a chiral spirodiphosphine monoxide ligand with 1,1′-spirobiindane backbone (SDP(O)), a desymmetrization strategy of Pd-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric aryl C-O coupling of 2-(2-halophenoxy)propane-1,3-diols, was developed. The SDP(O) ligand shows much better results than its SDP counterpart. The protocol provides an efficient and highly enantioselective method for the synthesis of 2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxanes. Density functional theory studies provide a model that accounts for the origin of the enantioselectivity.

Reactions of 4-chloromethyl-1,3,2-dioxathiolane 2-oxides with sodium phenoxide. A reinvestigation

The reactions of 4-chloromethyl-1,3,2-dioxathiolane 2-oxides with PhONa in EtOH are accompanied by ring opening under the action of the ethoxide ion rather than leading to a rearrangement of the starting molecule as has been assumed previously. Under conditions precluding competition with other nucleophiles, the phenoxide anion smoothly replaces the chlorine atom in chloromethyl-substituted cyclic sulfites.
