The insertion of arynes into the O-H bond of aliphatic carboxylic acids

The insertion of arynes into the O-H bond of aliphatic carboxylic acids promoted by sodium carboxylates is described. The reactions led to the formation of aryl carboxylates in good yields with good chemoselectivities under mild conditions.

Degenerate Transesterification of 3,5-Dimethylphenolate/3,5-Dimethylphenyl Esters in Weakly Polar, Aprotic Solvents. Reactions of Aggregates and Complex-Induced Proximity Effects

The rates of exchange of the 3,5-dimethylphenolate ion between lithium 3,5-dimethylphenolate-d6 and a series of 3,5-dimethylphenyl esters have been determined in the weakly polar, aprotic solvents dioxolane, dimethoxyethane (DME), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and pyridine. The esters include the propionate, butyrate, methoxyacctate, β-methoxypropionate, 4-methoxybutyrate, 2-tetrahydrofuroate, 2-furoate, (N,N-dimethylamino)acetate, (methylthio)acetate, 2- and 4-pyridine-carboxylates, 2-pyridylacetate, 4-pyridylacetate, phenylacetate, andp-methoxy-,p-chloro-, and p-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetates. The rates and kinetic orders of the reactions of 3,5-dimethylphenyl propionate in various solvents at 35°C gave the following second-order rate constants (104k2, L mol-1 sec-1) for the following major aggregate species: THF tetramer, 6.5; DME tetramer, 3.3 (40°C); dioxolane, 13, hexamer, 71; pyridine tetramer, 2.2, dimer, 29. For 3,5-dimethylphenyl β-methoxypropionate, the order of reactivity is dioxolane > DME > THF. These results are interpreted in terms of a preequilibrium in which a solvent on lithium in the tetramer is replaced by the ester. The rates of transesterification have been compared with the rates of hydrolysis in 30% aqueous ethanol for the above series of esters. Those esters that have a second Lewis base center proximal to the ester function show significantly increased reactivity in transesterification, which is attributed to a complex-induced proximity effect.
