Catalyst-Controlled Regioselective Chlorination of Phenols and Anilines through a Lewis Basic Selenoether Catalyst

We report a highly efficient ortho-selective electrophilic chlorination of phenols utilizing a Lewis basic selenoether catalyst. The selenoether catalyst resulted in comparable selectivities to our previously reported bis-thiourea ortho-selective catalyst, with a catalyst loading as low as 1%. The new catalytic system also allowed us to extend this chemistry to obtain excellent ortho-selectivities for unprotected anilines. The selectivities of this reaction are up to >20:1 ortho/para, while the innate selectivities for phenols and anilines are approximately 1:4 ortho/para. A series of preliminary studies revealed that the substrates require a hydrogen-bonding moiety for selectivity.

Regioselective Oxidative Chlorination of Arenols Using NaCl and Oxone

We developed a practical and environmentally benign method for the chlorinative dearomatization of arenols using transient electrophilic chlorinating species generated in situ from inexpensive sodium chloride and Oxone as a Cl source and oxidant, respectively, under mild conditions. Moreover, the regioselective chlorination or chlorinative dearomatization of 1-naphthols was also achieved by changing the reaction conditions.

Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Highly Practical Ortho-Selective Monohalogenation and Phenylselenation of Phenols: Scope and Applications

An ortho-selective ammonium chloride salt-catalyzed direct C-H monohalogenation of phenols and 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) as the chlorinating agent has been developed. The catalyst loading was low (down to 0.01 mol %) and the reaction conditions were very mild. A wide range of substrates including BINOLs were compatible with this catalytic protocol. Chlorinated BINOLs are useful synthons for the synthesis of a wide range of unsymmetrical 3-aryl BINOLs that are not easily accessible. In addition, the same catalytic system can facilitate the ortho-selective selenylation of phenols.

Role of substituents on the reactivity and product selectivity in reactions of naphthalene derivatives catalyzed by the orphan thermostable cytochrome P450, CYP175A1

The thermostable nature of CYP175A1 enzyme is of potential interest for the biocatalysis at ambient temperature or at elevated temperature under environmentally benign conditions. Although little is known about the substrate selectivity of this enzyme, the biocatalytic activities of CYP175A1 on different substituted naphthalenes have been studied in oxidative pathway, and the effect of the substituent on the reaction has been determined. The enzyme first acts as a peroxygenase to convert these substituted naphthalenes to the corresponding naphthols, which subsequently undergo in-situ oxidative dimerization to form dyes of different colors possibly by the peroxidase-type activity of CYP175A1. The product analyses and kinetic measurements suggested that the presence of electron releasing substituent (ERS) in the substrate enhanced the substrate conversion, whereas the presence of electron withdrawing substituent (EWS) in the substrate drastically reduced the substrate conversion. The position of the ERS in the substrate was also found to play an important role in the transformation of the substrate. The results further demonstrate that mutation of the Leu80 residue to Phe enhances the reactivity of the enzyme by favoring the substrate association in the active site. The observed rates of the enzymatic oxygenation reaction of the substituted naphthalenes followed the Hammett correlation of substituent effect, supporting aromatic electrophilic substitution mechanism catalyzed by the cytochrome P450 enzyme.

A succinct synthesis of the vaulted biaryl ligand vanol via a dienone-phenol rearrangement

Vanol is a member of the vaulted biaryl family of ligands and it has been proven to be very effective in a number of asymmetric catalytic reactions. The previous synthesis of vanol, while effective, is limited by the cost of reagents involved. The present work evaluates three different approaches to the synthesis of 3-phenyl-1-naphthol, a key intermediate in the synthesis of vanol. The first approach has its key step as the Michael addition of a benzyl Grignard to methyl cinnamate. In the second approach the key step is the first step, a Reformatsky reaction of ethyl bromoacetate and deoxybenzoin. The final and most-efficient approach involves a dienone-phenol rearrangement of a 4-aryl-1-tetralenone generated in-situ from the reaction of 4-chloro-1-naphthol with AlCl3 and benzene, and preliminary results are reported on the extension of this method to substituted vanol derivatives.

LEWIS ACID CATALYZED HALOGENATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON ATOMS

A practical and efficient method for halogenation of activated carbon atoms using readily available /V-haloimides and a Lewis acid catalyst has been disclosed. This methodology is applicable to a range of compounds and any halogen atom can be directly introduced to the substrate. The mild reaction conditions, easy workup procedure and simple operation make this method valuable from both an environmental and preparative point of view.

"On water": Unique reactivity of organic compounds in aqueous suspension

(Chemical Equation Presented) Water, the medium of choice: Many reactions, such as Claisen rearrangements (see scheme), are dramatically accelerated when performed in aqueous suspension ("on water") relative to organic (Table Presented) solvents or even neat conditions. Low miscibility of organic compounds with water is not detrimental: in fact, it facilitates the isolation of products.

Kinetics and mechanism of ammonolysis and alkaline hydrolysis of naphthyl acetates in aqueous medium: Part 1 - 4-Substituted 1-naphthyl acetates

A series of 4- substituted 1-naphthyl acetates have been prepared. The kinetics of their ammonolysis have been followed at 20°, 25° and 30°C under pseudo-first order conditions at different pH in water containing 1% dioxan at an ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3. The possible mechanisms suggest the existence of general base catalysis for 4-methyl-1-naphthyl acetate. For esters with electron-withdrawing substituents, ammonolysis proceeds through an unassisted simple nucleophilic substitution pathway. The alkaline hydrolysis of all the esters is also followed under identical reaction conditions.
