Preparation of various carboxylic acid esters from bulky alcohols and carboxylic acids by a new type oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone

A new-type oxidation-reduction condensation by using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ), carboxylic acids and in situ formed alkoxydiphenylphosphines (1) including the bulky alkoxy group-substituted ones proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding carboxylic acid esters in good to high yields. Alkoxydiphenylphosphines were formed in situ by treating either N,N-dimethylaminodiphenylphosphine (Ph2PNMe2) with primary or secondary alcohols or chlorodiphenylphosphine with the lithium salts of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Efficient method for the preparation of carboxylic acid alkyl esters or alkyl phenyl ethers by a new-type of oxidation-reduction condensation using 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and alkoxydiphenylphosphines

A new-type of oxidation-reduction condensation proceeded smoothly to afford carboxylic acid alkyl esters or alkyl phenyl ethers in good to high yields by combined use of alkoxydiphenylphosphines (1) having primary, bulky secondary or tertiary alkoxy groups, a mild quinone-type oxidant such as 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DMBQ) and carboxylic acids or phenols. Generally, alkoxydiphenylphosphines were prepared easily from chlorodiphenylphosphine (2) and alcohols in the presence of pyridine, and were isolated by distillation. On the other hand, the phosphines 1 were also prepared in situ from N,N-dimethylaminodiphenylphosphine (3a) and primary or secondary alcohols while primary, bulky secondary or tertiary alkoxydiphenylphosphines were alternatively formed in situ by adding 2 to the "BuLi-treated alcohols in order to perform the above reactions by a one-pot procedure from alcohols and nucleophiles. The reaction of thus formed 1, DMBQ and carboxylic acids or phenols afforded the corresponding alkylated products, including hindered secondary and tertiary alkylated ones, in good to high yields at room temperature. In the case of using chiral secondary alcohols, the corresponding carboxylic acid alkyl esters were obtained as well in high yields with perfect inversion of stereochemistry by SN2 replacement.
