An efficient synthesis of polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDEs) using the Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling reaction is described. A library of all possible mono- and dichlorinated diphenyl ether congeners was prepared and characterized using MS, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and Kovats retention indices. Our approach, using the optimized reaction conditions (i.e., reaction temperature, oxidizing atmosphere and base), significantly improves and simplifies the process compared to previously reported syntheses.

The synthetic utility of hydrosilanes under the influence of trimethylsilyl-based reagents as new reducing systems is described. 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) reagent in combination with iodotrimethylsilane or bromotrimethylsilane produces alkyl halides from aldehydes in good to excellent yields.Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMS) in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane also produces benzyl iodides in excellent yields.On the contrary, PMS reagent was found unsuitable for the synthesis of benzyl bromides.Similary, TMDS reagent in combination with trimethylsilyl triflate produces symmetrical ethers from aldehydes without concomitant formation of competitive products.Under similar conditions, PMS reagent failed to provide the expected symmetrical ethers and Friedel-Crafts products were formed.Reduction of quinones to hydroquinones is also described.
