Copper porphyrin-catalyzed cross dehydrogenative coupling of alkanes with carboxylic acids: Esterification and decarboxylation dual pathway

A dual-functional copper porphyrin-catalyzed cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of carboxylic acids with alkanes was reported firstly. The reaction gives allylic esters or alkylalkenes depending on the carboxylic acid substrates. Copper porphyrin catalyzed CDC method has the superiority of short reaction time, good functional group tolerance, base and solvent free, producing target products in an atom-economic manner.

Direct esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols catalyzed by Iron(III) acetylacetonate complex

Direct condensation of carboxylic acids and alcohols with electronic, steric, and functional group variations was carried out using the environmentally benign, moisture-stable, inexpensive, and recoverable iron(III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3] as catalyst (5 mol%). This iron salt efficiently catalyzed the esterification of several primary and secondary alcohols in refluxing xylene, without the need for a dehydration reagent. The chemoselectivity of the proposed protocol was demonstrated by the selective esterification of primary alcohol functionality in racemic 1-phenylethane-1,2- diol with benzoic acid. The esterification was also applicable to unmasked α-hydroxyacid, guasiaromatic, heterocyclic, and N-protected amino acids. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

Retro-claisen condensation with FeIII as catalyst under solvent-free conditions

An iron(III) salt catalyzed retro-Claisen condensation between an alcohol and a 1,3-diketone was investigated. The mechanism involves the formation of a metal-induced sixmembered cyclic transition state and cleavage of the C sp2-Csp3 bond. Regioselective esterification and one-pot couversion of silyl ethers into esters with good yields was observed. Simple reaction conditions, high yields, and broad scope of the reaction illustrate the good synthetic utility of this method.
