An improved method for the synthesis of phenylacetic acid derivatives via carbonylation

2,4-Dichlorophenylacetic acid is synthesized in high yield via the carbonylation of 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride, and various experimental conditions are evaluated. Xylene, bistriphenylphosphine palladium dichloride, tetraethylammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide in solution are added to the reaction system and held at 80 °C under a CO atmosphere. 2,4-Dichlorophenylacetic acid is obtained in a maximum yield of 95percent, and a mechanism for 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride carbonylation is proposed. The reaction system provides a mild, effective and novel means by which to prepare phenylacetic acid derivatives from their corresponding benzyl chloride derivatives.

Metal-free, catalytic regioselective oxidative conversion of vinylarenes: A mild approach to phenylacetic acid derivatives

A new synthetic approach towards the synthesis of phenylacetic acids from aromatic alkenes has been developed for the first time under mild conditions by employing non-toxic reagents such as molecular iodine and oxone. This metal-free catalytic regioselective oxygenation of vinylarenes proceeds via tandem iodofunctionalization/de-iodination induced rearrangement.

Quinolones as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists: Simultaneous optimization of the C(3)-aryl and C(6)-substituents

A series of 3-arylquinolones was prepared and evaluated for their ability to act as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. A variety of substitution patterns of the 3-aryl substituent are described. The 3,4,5-trimethylphenyl substituent (23h) was found to be optimal. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
