Transformation of aryl alcohols into high-value functionalized aromatic compounds by selective cleavage and functionalization of the C(aryl)-C(OH) bond is of crucial importance, but very challenging by far. Herein, for the first time, we report a novel and versatile strategy for activation and functionalization of C(aryl)-C(OH) bonds by the cooperation of oxygenation and decarboxylative functionalization. A diverse range of aryl alcohol substrates were employed as arylation reagents via the cleavage of C(aryl)-C(OH) bonds and effectively converted into corresponding thioether, arene, and arylated benzoxazole products in excellent yields, in a Cu based catalytic system using O2 as the oxidant. This study offers a new way for aryl alcohol conversion and potentially offers a new opportunity to produce high-value functionalized aromatics from renewable feedstocks such as lignin which features abundant C(aryl)-C(OH) bonds in its linkages.

Based upon the photolabile [2-(2-nitrophenyl)propoxy]carbonyl group (NPPOC), a large number of modified 2-(2-nitrophenyl)propanol derivatives substituted at the phenyl ring (see 23-34 and 57-76) as well as at the side-chain (see 85-92 and 95-98) were synthesized to improve the photoreactivity of this new type of photolabile entity. The phenyl moiety was also exchanged by the naphthalenyl group (see 102, 103, 105, 108, 110, 113, and 114), the thienyl substituent (see 115, 117, 118, and 120), and the benzothienyl substituent (see 121). The 2-(2-nitroaryl- and heteroaryl) propanols were converted with diphosgene into the corresponding carbonochloridates, which reacted subsequently with thymidine to the thymidine 5′-(protected carbonates) 123-178 as the main reaction products. In several cases, the corresponding 3′-carbonates and 3′,5′ -dicarbonates 179-212 were also isolated and characterized. Photolysis studies under standardized conditions (see Table) indicated that the rate of photocleavage varies in a broad range depending on the substituents. So far, the thymidine 5′-[2-(5-halo-2-nitrophenyl)propyl carbonates] 127-129, 5′-[2-(nitro[1,1′-biphenyl]3-yl)propyl carbonates] 136-139, 5′-{2-[2-nitro-5-(thianthren-1-yl)phenyl]propyl carbonate} (140), 5′-[2-(5-naphthalenyl-2-nitrophenyl)propyl carbonates] 141 and 142, and 5′-[2-(2-nitro-5-thienylphenyl)propyl carbonates] 143 and 144 showed the best properties regarding fast and uniform deprotection. Since the nucleobases of 213-215 do not influence the photocleavage features, in general, the new type of photolabile building blocks allows in form of their 3′ -phosphoramidites the photolithographic formation of high-quality biochips.
