An efficient metal-free oxidative esterification and amination of benzyl C-H bond

An esterification and amination of benzylic C-H bonds was developed by using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) under metal- and iodide-free conditions. Both carboxylic acids and amines could be used as ideal coupling partners for the oxidati

Bioinspired Metal-Free Formal Decarbonylation of α-Branched Aliphatic Aldehydes at Ambient Temperature

A sequence of a Baeyer–Villiger oxidation and a Lewis acid-promoted reduction of the resulting formate with Et3SiH enabled the metal-free formal decarbonylation of tertiary and secondary aliphatic aldehydes. The new methodology mimics the biosynthetic decarbonylation pathway through oxidative C?C bond cleavage rather than the C(O)?H bond activation known from conventional Tsuji–Wilkinson-type reactions. The substrate scope is complementary to existing transition-metal-catalyzed protocols.

Method for preparing formate-type compound

The invention discloses a method for preparing a formate-type compound. The method comprises the following steps of: adopting an alcohol-type compound and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone as reaction raw materials, and under the existence of a composite catalyst and an oxidant, reacting for 2-48 hours in a reaction medium in a reactor at a reaction temperature of 25-100 DEG C so as to obtain the formate-typecompound. The method disclosed by the invention is simple, and is mild in reaction condition, and by the method, a target product can be obtained by low cost and high yield; the used catalyst has highcatalytic activity, and is easily separated from a reaction system to be repeatedly used; the whole process is environment-friendly, and the reaction raw material (1,3-dihydroxyacetone) is easily converted from a side product (glycerol) of biodiesel, so that the utilization of the glycerol is promoted.
