Aerobic oxidative esterification and thioesterification of aldehydes using dibromoisocyanuric acid under mild conditions: No metal catalysts required

A practical direct method for the direct preparation of esters and thioesters from aldehydes is described. Esters and thioesters were synthesized by oxidative esterification and thioesterification via in situ generated acyl bromide intermediates, which were used to react with various alcohols and thiols. The esterification and thioesterification were readily performed in the presence of dibromoisocyanuric acid in dichloromethane, without any metal catalysts and under mild conditions. By using this reaction protocol, various esters and thioesters were prepared in high yields. This effective method offers a promising approach for the facile esterification and thioesterification of aldehydes.

Synthesis and NMR spectroscopic conformational analysis of benzoic acid esters of mono- and 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexane, 4-hydroxycyclohexanone and the -ene analogue – The more polar the molecule the more stable the axial conformer

para-Substituted benzoic acid esters of cyclohexanol, 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexane, 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and of the corresponding exo-methylene derivative were synthesized and the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexane skeleton studied by low temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The geometry optimized structures of the axial/equatorial chair conformers were computed at the DFT level of theory. Only one preferred conformation of the ester group was obtained for both the axial and the equatorial conformer, respectively. The content of the axial conformer increases with growing polarity of the 6-membered ring moiety; hereby, in addition, the effect of sp2 hybridization/polarity of C(4)=O/C(4)=CH2 on the present conformational equilibria is critically evaluated. Another dynamic process could be studied, for the first time in this kind of compounds.

Studies of the Electronic Effects of Zinc Cluster Catalysts and Their Application to the Transesterification of β-Keto Esters

The electronic effects of tetranuclear zinc cluster catalysts on transesterification were investigated by changing the carboxylate ligands in the clusters. High catalyst activity crucially depended on the balance between Lewis acidity and Br?nsted basicity of the catalyst; this was consistent with the dual activation of both the electrophile and nucleophile by the cooperative zinc centers. In addition, tetranuclear zinc cluster catalysts achieved the transesterification of β-keto esters with unprecedented levels of broad substrate generality, in which a newly developed pentafluoropropionate-bridged zinc cluster and 4-dimethylaminopyridine additive greatly improved the reactivity of sterically congested α- and α,α-disubstituted β-keto esters. Lewis versus Br?nsted: High catalyst activity of zinc clusters on transesterification crucially depend on a balance between Lewis acidity and Br?nsted basicity of the catalyst. Zinc clusters, including a newly developed pentafluoropropionate-bridged zinc cluster, achieved the transesterification of β-keto esters with unprecedented levels of broad substrate generality (see figure).

On the understanding of BF3·Et2O-promoted intra- and intermolecular amination and oxygenation of unfunctionalized olefins

BF3·Et2O was found to be effective for both intra- and intermolecular amination and oxygenation of unfunctionalized olefins. In the presence of 3 equiv. of BF3·Et2O, intramolecular hydroamination of N-(pent-4-enyl)-p-toluenesulfonamides, N-(hex-5-enyl)-p-toluenesulfonamides, intermolecular hydroamination between sulfonamides and cyclohexene, norbornene or styrene, lactonization of pent-4-enoic acid or hex-5-enoic acid compounds and esterification of cyclohexene with different carboxylic acids all proceeded readily, leading to the corresponding amination or oxygenation products in up to 99% isolated yields. Preliminary NMR experiments and DFT calculations suggested that the intramolecular hydroamination reactions proceeded via a sulfonimidic acid intermediate (N=S-OH), and formation of the corresponding Bronsted acid HF or HBF4 was less likely.

Generally applicable and efficient esterification of aldehydes with alcohols catalyzed by cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine

The palladacycle-catalyzed esterification of a variety of aldehydes with alcohols was developed. This reaction allows formation of esters in moderate to excellent yields not only for various aldehydes but also alcohols. In addition, the esterification could proceed well under mild conditions with a low catalyst loading of 0.0625 mol%. Copyright

ACYLATION REACTION OF HYDROXYL GROUP

Disclosed is a selective ester production process of an alcoholic hydroxyl group, which proceeds under chemically mild conditions, while having adequate environmental suitability, operability and economical efficiency. Specifically disclosed is a process for producing an ester compound, which is characterized in that an alcohol and a carboxylic acid ester compound are reacted in the presence of a compound containing zinc element, thereby selectively acylating a hydroxyl group of the alcohol.
