Formylation of activated arenes by phenyl formate: Implications for the mechanism of the Fries rearrangement of aryl formates

We present an NMR and DFT investigation of the reaction of phenyl formate with 3-methoxyphenol and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with excess BCl3. The products obtained (3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-salicylaldehyde, respectively) are the same as those resulting from the Fries rearrangement of 3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl formate. These results represent a novel regioselective synthetic route to aromatic aldehydes, using phenyl formate as a source of formylating agent. They also unambiguously prove that the Fries rearrangement of aryl formates (that we recently investigated in J. Org. Chem. 71, 9331-9340, 2006) is intermolecular: the intermediate formyl chloride is released in situ and, in turn, it formylates the intermediate dichloroborate ester of 3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-phenol in a second independent step. The -BCl2 moiety bound to the aryl oxygen of the substituted phenol interacts with the formyl chloride strongly favouring the ortho substitution. Copyright

Chlorophyll b was extracted from heliotropium europaeum plant, demetalated, allylated and grafted to acrylated TEMPO through a copolymerization protocol. Then, the chlorophyll monomers were coordinated to Co ions, immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles and the resulting hybrid was used as a powerful catalyst for a variety of oxidation reactions. By using the present method, oxidation of benzylic alcohols and alkyl benzenes to carbonyls was accomplished in water under aerobic conditions. Moreover, direct oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids was performed by adding NaOCl to the mixture. All entries were oxidized to the corresponding desired product with high to excellent yields and up to 97% selectivity. The catalyst was thoroughly characterized by CV, TGA, VSM, XRD, XPS, DLS, FE-SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, EDX, and BET analyses. The activity of the catalyst was investigated by applying various components of the catalyst to the oxidation model separately. The reasonable mechanisms are suggested based on the cooperation between the TEMPO groups and cobalt(iii) (or Co(iv)) sites on the catalyst. The catalyst could be recovered and reused for at least 7 consecutive recycles without any considerable reactivity loss. This journal is
Selective ether bond breaking method of aryl alkyl ether
-
Paragraph 0166-0170, (2020/09/16)
The invention discloses a selective aryl alkyl ether cracking method, which comprises that aryl alkyl ether, aluminum iodide and an additive are subjected to a selective ether bond cleavage reaction in an organic solvent at a temperature of -20 DEG C to a reflux temperature to generate phenol and derivatives thereof. The method is mild in condition and simple and convenient to operate, is suitablefor cracking aryl alkyl ether containing o-hydroxyl and o-carbonyl and acetal ether, and can also be used for removing tertiary carbon hydroxyl protecting groups with higher steric hindrance, such astriphenylmethyl, tertiary butyl and the like.
