A novel, in-situ synthesis of dichlorotriphenylphosphorane (Ph3PCl2) is accomplished upon combining PPh3and the easily prepared hypervalent iodine reagent iodobenzene dichloride (PhICl2). The phosphorane is selectively generated in the presence of carboxylic acid or alcohol residues to rapidly produce acyl chlorides and alkyl chlorides in high yields. Addition of EtOH, PhOH, BnOH, Et2NH or CH2N2results in the direct synthesis of esters, amides and diazo ketones from carboxylic acids.
Selective esterifications of alcohols and phenols through carbodiimide couplings

Esterification of carboxylic acids capable of forming ketene intermediates upon treatment with carbodiimides permits the selective acylation of alcohols in the presence of phenols lacking strong electron-withdrawing groups. The selectivity of acylations involving highly acidic phenols could be reversed through the addition of catalytic amount of acid. Esterification of other carboxylic acids was found to proceed through the formation of symmetric anhydrides and provide the opposite chemoselectivity. In both cases the relative acylation rates of substituted phenols are consistent with a reaction mechanism involving an attack of phenolate anions on electrophilic intermediates such as ketenes and symmetric anhydrides, with the carbodiimides serving both as an activating reagent and as a basic catalyst.

The synthesis of a rhodium phenoxide is reported. The complex trans-PhORh(CO)(PPh3)2 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 15.794 (3) ?, b = 11.449 (2) ?, c = 20.025 (3) ?, β = 100.220 (13)°, V = 3562 (1) ?3, and Z = 4. Diffraction data (Mo Kα, 2θ = 4.5-50.0°) were collected with a Syntex P21 diffractometer, and the structure was refined to RF = 2.8% for 5293 reflections. The structure is isomorphous with the iridium analogue. Important dimensions include Rh-P = 2.337 (1)-2.357 (1) ?, Rh-CO = 1.801 (3) ?, Rh-OPh = 2.044 (2) ?, and Rh-O-C(phenoxide) = 125.52 (19)°. This complex reacts with Ph2CHC(O)Cl to give the ester Ph2CHC(O)OPh and with MeI to give anisole, PhOMe. The formation of anisole from the rhodium phenoxide is in contrast to the failure to eliminate ethers from similar iridium complexes and is consistent with the known preference for elimination from second-row (rather than third-row) transition-metal complexes.
