Phenols are extremely valuable building blocks in the areas of pharmaceuticals, natural products, materials and catalysts. In order to carry out modifications on phenols, the phenolic oxygen is routinely protected to prevent unwanted side reactions. Presently many of the protecting groups available can require harsh conditions, specialist equipment, expensive or air/moisture-sensitive reagents to install and remove. Here we introduce the use of the tetrafluoropyridyl (TFP) group as a general protecting group for phenols. TFP can be installed in one step with no sensitivity to water or air, and it is stable under a range of commonly employed reaction conditions including acid and base. The TFP protecting group is readily cleaved under mild conditions with quantitative conversion to the parent phenol, observed in many cases in less than 1 hour.

A simple and ligand-free synthesis of phenols from the corresponding aryl iodides in a continuous-flow system is described. The reaction is complete in only 4 to 20 minutes when heated between 150 to 165 °C in a reactor consisting of a commercially available copper coil. An example of trapping of the phenoxide in situ is also shown.
Synthesis of the melatonin receptor agonist Ramelteon using a tandem C-H activation-alkylation/Heck reaction and subsequent asymmetric Michael addition

An asymmetric synthesis of the melatonin receptor agonist Ramelteon 1 has been achieved, which involved a tandem C-H activation-alkylation/Heck reaction and subsequent highly diastereoselective asymmetric Michael addition to generate the corresponding chiral intermediate, which was readily converted into Ramelteon 1 in 19% overall yield in 15 linear steps.
Protodeboronation of ortho- and para-phenol boronic acids and application to ortho and meta functionalization of phenols using boronic acids as blocking and directing groups
Lee, Chun-Young,Ahn, Su-Jin,Cheon, Cheol-Hong
, p. 12154 - 12160 (2014/01/06)
The first metal-free thermal protodeboronation of ortho- and para-phenol boronic acids in DMSO was developed. The protodeboronation was successfully applied to the synthesis of ortho- and meta-functionalized phenols using the boronic acid moiety as a blocking group and a directing group, respectively. Mechanistic studies suggested that this protodeboronation proceeds through the coordination of water to the boron atom followed by σ-bond metathesis.

Evidence that a 1,2-dihydroxycyclohexadienide anion is stabilized by aromatic "negative hyperconjugation" is described. It complements an earlier inference of "positive" hyperconjugative aromaticity for the cyclohexadienyl cation. The anion is a reactive intermediate in the dehydration of benzene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol to phenol. Rate constants for 3-substituted benzene cis-dihydrodiols are correlated by σ- values with = 3.2. Solvent isotope effects for the reactions are kH2O/kD 2O = 1.2-1.8. These measurements are consistent with reaction via a carbanion intermediate or a concerted reaction with a "carbanion-like" transition state. These and other experimental results confirm that the reaction proceeds by a stepwise mechanism, with a change in rate-determining step from proton transfer to the loss of hydroxide ion from the intermediate. Hydrogen isotope exchange accompanying dehydration of the parent benzene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol was not found, and thus, the proton transfer step is subject to internal return. A rate constant of ~1011 s-1, corresponding to rotational relaxation of the aqueous solvent, is assigned to loss of hydroxide ion from the intermediate. The rate constant for internal return therefore falls in the range 1011-1012 s -1. From these limiting values and the measured rate constant for hydroxide-catalyzed dehydration, a pKa of 30.8 ± 0.5 was determined for formation of the anion. Although loss of hydroxide ion is hugely exothermic, a concerted reaction is not enforced by the instability of the intermediate. Stabilization by negative hyperconjugation is proposed for 1,2-dihydroxycyclohexadienide and similar anions, and this proposal is supported by additional experimental evidence and by computational results, including evidence for a diatropic ("aromatic") ring current in 3,3-difluorocyclohexadienyl anion.

scheme or table, p. 1977 - 1980 (2009/04/07)
Scope and limitations of the debenzylation conditions for aryl benzyl ether, which was developed during our synthetic studies on yatakemycin, were investigated. The chemoselective debenzylation proceeds at low temperature with a combination of BCl3 and pentamethylbenzene as a cation scavenger in the presence of various functional groups.

Spurg, Anke,Waldvogel, Siegfried R.
, p. 337 - 342 (2008/09/18)
A reliable and high-yielding one-pot sequence for the removal of O-carboxymethyl moieties from phenols is presented. When diethylphosphoryl azide is employed as the azide transfer reagent in the Curtius rearrangement and glycerol in the subsequent hydrolytic workup, the protocol can be reliably applied to a very broad scope of substrates.
