Cobalt-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Methylation and Ethylation of Aliphatic N-(Acyloxy)phthalimides with Organoaluminum Reagents

A cobalt-catalyzed decarboxylative methylation of aliphatic redox-active esters [ N-(acyloxy)phthalimides; RAEs] with trimethylaluminum under mild conditions was developed, providing a method for transforming a carboxylate group into a methyl group without redox fluctuation. Primary and secondary RAEs were both amenable substrates, whereas a tertiary RAE delivered an elimination product. Triethylaluminum was also used to deliver a decarboxylative ethylation product.

Semiheterogeneous Dual Nickel/Photocatalytic (Thio)etherification Using Carbon Nitrides

A carbon nitride material can be combined with homogeneous nickel catalysts for light-mediated cross-couplings of aryl bromides with alcohols under mild conditions. The metal-free heterogeneous semiconductor is fully recyclable and couples a broad range of electron-poor aryl bromides with primary and secondary alcohols as well as water. The application for intramolecular reactions and the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients was demonstrated. The catalytic protocol is applicable for the coupling of aryl iodides with thiols as well.

Chemoselective deoxygenation of ether-substituted alcohols and carbonyl compounds by B(C6F5)3-catalyzed reduction with (HMe2SiCH2)2

B(C6F5)3-catalyzed deoxygenation of ether-substituted alcohols and carbonyl compounds has been developed using (HMe2SiCH2)2 as the reductant. This unique reagent shows distinct superiority over traditional one silicon-centered hydrosilanes, giving the corresponding alkanes in high yields with good tolerance of ethers, aryl halides and alkenes. The control experiments suggest that (HMe2SiCH2)2 might facilitate the approach in an intramolecular Si/O activation manner.

Selective catalytic synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers from the dehydrative etherification of two different alcohols

The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex [(C6H6)(PCy3)(CO)RuH]+BF4- catalyzes selective etherification of two different alcohols to form unsymmetrically substituted ethers. The catalytic method exhibits a broad substrate scope while tolerating a range of heteroatom functional groups in forming unsymmetrical ethers, and it is successfully used to directly synthesize a number of highly functionalized chiral nonracemic ethers.

Copper-catalyzed reduction of alkyl triflates and iodides: An efficient method for the deoxygenation of primary and secondary alcohols

We describe an effective method for catalytic reduction of 1°alkyl sulfonates, and 1°and 2°iodides in the presence of a wide range of functional groups. This Cu-catalyzed reaction provides a means for the effective deoxygenation of alcohols, as demonstrated by the highly selective reduction of 1°alcohols using a triflation/reduction sequence. A preliminary study of the reaction mechanism suggests that the reduction does not involve free-radical intermediates.

NHC-copper hydrides as chemoselective reducing agents: Catalytic reduction of alkynes, alkyl triflates, and alkyl halides

The NHC-copper-catalyzed Z-selective semi-reduction of terminal and internal alkynes, as well as the NHC-copper-catalyzed reduction of primary alkyl triflates and primary and secondary alkyl iodides and bromides are described. The high chemoselectivity demonstrated in these examples illustrates the mild nature of copper hydride complexes as reducing agents, which have applications in synthetic chemistry beyond their traditional role in the reduction of activated alkenes and carbonyl compounds.

Organosoluble copper clusters as precatalysts for carbon - Heteroelement bond-forming reactions: Microwave and conventional heating

Kaolin-assisted Aromatic Chlorination and Bromination

Moist kaolin catalyses the regioselective and high-yielding chlorination and bromination of C6H5OR (R = C1-C8 alkyl. Bu1, allyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl) to 4-XC6H4OR (X = Cl and Br, respectively) with NaCl02 and Mn(acac)3 in CH2Cl2 in the absence and presence of NaBr, respectively, under mild and neutral conditions.

Selective aromatic chlorination of activated arenes with sodium chlorite, (salen)manganese(III) complex, and alumina in dichloromethane

The reaction of alkyl phenyl ethers with sodium chlorite in dichloromethane in the presence of a (salen)manganese(III) complex and alumina preloaded with a small amount of water afforded monochlorination products with unusually high para selectivities under mild conditions. The NaClO2-based biphasic system can also be successfully used for the regioselective monochlorination of substituted anisoles and polymethoxybenzenes.

Regiospecific aromatic chlorination of alkyl phenyl ethers using sodium chlorite catalysed by manganese(III) acetylacetonate and moist alumina in dichloromethane

A solid-liquid biphasic system (dichloromethane and chromatographic neutral alumina) has been tested for the aromatic chlorination of various alkyl aryl ethers using a reagent combination of sodium chlorite and manganese(III) acetylacetonate catalyst. Efficient incorporation of a chlorine atom into the benzene ring with high para-selectivity results. This catalytic system is also applicable to the regiocontrolled chlorination of polyether substrates.
