Tuning the Reactivity of Peroxo Anhydrides for Aromatic C-H Bond Oxidation

Phenol moieties are key structural motifs in many areas of chemical research from polymers to pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report on the design and use of a structurally demanding cyclic peroxide (spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,4′-[1,2]dioxolane]-3′,5′-dione, P4) for the direct hydroxylation of aromatic substrates. The new peroxide benefits from high thermal stability and can be synthesized from readily available starting materials. The aromatic C-H oxidation using P4 exhibits generally good yields (up to 96%) and appreciable regioselectivities.

Microwave-assisted cleavage of aryl methyl ethers with lithium thioethoxide (LiSEt)

Lithium thioethoxide (LiSEt), a white solid easily prepared from EtSH and n-BuLi in hexane, was identified as a highly efficient reagent for the cleavage (O-demethylation) of aryl methyl ethers, i.e. methyl-protected phenols. Of particular synthetic value are applications in the double deprotection of 1,2-dimethoxyarenes (to give catechols) and in the selective monodeprotection of di- and trimethoxyarenes. The thermal reactions, which are usually performed in DMF as a solvent, can be greatly accelerated through microwave irradiation. In this case, the monodemethylated products are usually formed in high (80-99%) yield within only 15 minutes.

Lewis Acid-Directed Reactions of Quinones with Styrenyl Systems: The Case of 2-Methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone

Reactions of 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone with various (E)-1-propenylbenzenes promoted by 1 equiv of Ti(IV), as a 1:1 mixture of TiCl4-Ti(O-i-Pr)4, produce rel-(1S,6R,7R,8R)-8-aryl-4,7-dimethyl-3-methoxybicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5- diones 3 and trans-2-aryl-3,7-dimethyl-6-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranols 5 as the major products. Reactions promoted by 2 equiv of Ti(IV) as a 1:1 mixture of TiCl4-Ti(O-i-Pr)4 or 1 equiv of either TiCl4, SnCl4, or BF3·OEt2 give regioisomeric rel-(1R,6S,7A,8R)-7-aryl-4,8-dimethyl-3-methoxybicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5- diones (4) and/or trans-2-aryl-3,6-dimethyl-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranols (6). A mechanism involving regioselective coordination of the various Lewis acids to the quinone is used to explain the formation of the products. These reactions demonstrate the effective regiocontrol exerted over the reactions by the nature of the Lewis acid promoters. Cyclobutanes 3 and 4 cleanly undergo rearrangement to the corresponding benzofuranols 5 and 6 on treatment with protic acid. In contrast, reactions of 2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone promoted by either BF3·OEt2 or Ti(IV), as 1 equiv or excess amounts of TiCl4 or 1:1 TiCl4-Ti(O-i-Pr)4, all afford the same regioisomeric products, i.e., rel-(1S,6R,7R,8R)-8-aryl-7-methyl-3-methoxybicyclo[4.2.0]oct-3-ene-2,5-dione 25 and/or trans-2-aryl-3-methyl-6-meth-oxy-2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranol 27.
