Mechanistic insight into the synergistic Cu/Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides using alcohols and dioxygen as the carbonyl source

Pd-catalyzed carbonylation, as an efficient synthetic approach to the installation of carbonyl groups in organic compounds, has been one of the most important research fields in the past decade. Although elegant reactions that allow highly selective carbonylations have been developed, straightforward routes with improved reaction activity and broader substrate scope remain long-term challenges for new practical applications. Here, we show a new type of synergistic Cu/Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction using alcohols and dioxgen as the carbonyl sources. A broad range of aryl iodides and alcohols are compatible with this protocol. The reaction is concise and practical due to the ready availability of the starting materials and the scalability of the reaction. In addition, the reaction affords lactones and lactams in an intermolecular fashion. Moreover, DFT calculations have been performed to study the detailed mechanisms.

Metal-Free Oxidative Esterification of Ketones and Potassium Xanthates: Selective Synthesis of α-Ketoesters and Esters

A novel and efficient oxidative esterification for the selective synthesis of α-ketoesters and esters has been developed under metal-free conditions. In the protocol, various α-ketoesters and esters are available in high yields from commercially available ketones and potassium xanthates. Mechanistic studies have proven that potassium xanthate not only promotes oxidative esterification but also provides an alkoxy moiety for the reaction, which involves the cleavage and reconstruction of C-O bonds.

Dehydrogenative cross-coupling of primary alcohols to form cross-esters catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex

Base-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of primary alcohols to form cross-esters as major products, liberating hydrogen gas, is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by a pincer complex of earth-abundant manganese in the presence of catalytic base, without any hydrogen acceptor or oxidant. Mechanistic insight indicates that a dearomatized complex is the actual catalyst, and indeed this independently prepared dearomatized complex catalyzes the reaction under neutral conditions.

Phosphite-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl diazonium salts

Visible light mediated oxidation of benzylic sp3 C-H bonds using catalytic 1,4-hydroquinone, or its biorenewable glucoside, arbutin, as a pre-oxidant

Benzylic ethers undergo a visible light induced C-H activation and oxygen insertion to give the corresponding benzoate esters in moderate to good yields. The conditions employ substoichiometric amounts of 1,4-hydroquinone with copper(ii) chloride dihydrate as an electron-transfer mediator, oxygen as the terminal oxidant and dimethyl carbonate as solvent under visible light irradiation. The naturally occurring glucoside, arbutin, which is commercially available or can be accessed via extraction of the leaves of bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) or elephant ears (Bergenia crassifolia) can be used as a biorenewable source of 1,4-hydroquinone. The methodology exploits the increase in oxidizing ability of quinones upon irradiation with visible light, and offers a sustainable alternative for the late stage oxidative functionalization of benzylic C-H bonds. It is applicable to a range of cyclic benzylic ethers such as isochromans and phthalans, and simple benzyl alkyl ethers. It can also be applied in the oxidation of benzylic amines into amides, and of diarylmethanes into the corresponding ketones. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds by H-abstraction by the photo-excited triplet benzoquinone to give a benzylic radical that subsequently reacts with molecular oxygen.

Synthesis of Hydroxybenzoic Acids and Their Esters by Reaction of Phenols with Carbon Tetrachloride and Alcohols in the Presence of Iron Catalysts

Efficient synthesis of esters through oxone-catalyzed dehydrogenation of carboxylic acids and alcohols

Since esters are important organic synthesis intermediates, an environmentally friendly oxone catalyzed-esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols has been developed. A series of carboxylic acid esters are obtained in high yield. This strategy requires mild reaction conditions, providing an attractive alternative for the construction of valuable carbonyl esters. Electron-rich and electron-deficient groups are compatible with the standard conditions and a variety of substrates are demonstrated. Moreover, the reaction could easily be adapted to typical prodrugs, drugs and gram-scale synthesis.

Heterogeneous One-Pot Carbonylation and Mizoroki–Heck Reaction in a Parallel Manner Following the Cleavage of Cinnamaldehyde Derivatives

Carbon monoxide (CO) and styrene derivatives that can be both generated by a palladium on carbon (Pd/C)-catalyzed carbon–carbon (C?C) bond cleavage reaction of cinnamaldehyde derivatives were effectively utilized in further palladium-catalyzed C?C bond forming reactions in a direct and practical way. CO derived from simple and affordable CO carriers such as cinnamaldehyde or terephthalaldehyde was efficiently employed in the in situ CO fixation with various aromatic iodides through a palladium-catalyzed carbonylation followed by an inter- or intramolecular coupling reaction with alcohols to afford the corresponding esters or lactones, respectively. Styrene derivatives were also efficient substrates in an in situ Mizoroki–Heck-type cross-coupling reaction with aryl iodides, leading to the effective formation of asymmetric stilbenes. The decarbonylation of cinnamaldehyde derivatives and the subsequent independent syntheses of both esters/lactones and 1,2-diarylethenes could be achieved in a virtual one-pot and in situ reaction using a H-shaped pressure-tight glass-sealed tube consisting of two independent but laterally connected reaction tubes in the gas space.
