The N-butyl amide group, CONHBu, has been found to be an effective promoter of the [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement of aryl benzyl ethers and thus allow the two-step synthesis of isomerically pure substituted diarylmethanols starting from simple hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. The method is compatible with a wide range of functional groups including methyl, methoxy, and fluoro, although not with nitro and, unexpectedly, is applicable to meta as well as ortho and para isomeric series.
A study towards the regioselective synthesis of the e,e,e trisadduct of C60 via the [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction with tethers bearing orthoquinodimethane precursors

The regioselective synthesis of an e,e,e trisadduct of C60 via the Diels-Alder reaction with orthoquinodimethanes has been attempted employing the tether-directed remote functionalization approach. Opened-structure tether 10 and macrocyclic tethers 16 and 21 were synthesized for this purpose. The functionalization of C60 afforded inseparable mixtures of regiomeric trisadducts and the regioselective formation of the e,e,e trisadduct was not feasible even when the more preorganized tethers 16 and 21 were employed. The in situ thermal generation of orthoquinodimethanes from the 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene precursors requires high temperatures and is followed by fast, irreversible cycloaddition with C60 to afford thermally stable products, which prevents the achievement of high regioselectivities.
Choline chloride based deep eutectic solvent as an efficient solvent for the benzylation of phenols

Deep eutectic solvents (such as the combination of urea and choline chloride) are found to be promising solvent and phase-transfer-media for benzylation of phenol. These methods avoided the complexity of multiple alkylations giving selectively O-alkylated aromatic products. Good to excellent yields of the corresponding benzyl phenyl ether were obtained. The non-toxic, biodegradable, inexpensive, and recyclable nature of DES make this protocol green and cost-effective.
