Fast Addition of s-Block Organometallic Reagents to CO2-Derived Cyclic Carbonates at Room Temperature, Under Air, and in 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran

Fast addition of highly polar organometallic reagents (RMgX/RLi) to cyclic carbonates (derived from CO2 as a sustainable C1 synthon) has been studied in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a green reaction medium or in the absence of external volatile organic solvents, at room temperature, and in the presence of air/moisture. These reaction conditions are generally forbidden with these highly reactive main-group organometallic compounds. The correct stoichiometry and nature of the polar organometallic alkylating or arylating reagent allows straightforward synthesis of: highly substituted tertiary alcohols, β-hydroxy esters, or symmetric ketones, working always under air and at room temperature. Finally, an unprecedented one-pot/two-step hybrid protocol is developed through combination of an Al-catalyzed cycloaddition of CO2 and propylene oxide with the concomitant fast addition of RLi reagents to the in situ and transiently formed cyclic carbonate, thus allowing indirect conversion of CO2 into the desired highly substituted tertiary alcohols without need for isolation or purification of any reaction intermediates.

Stannous chloride as a low toxicity and extremely cheap catalyst for regio-/site-selective acylation with unusually broad substrate scope

This work reports stannous chloride (SnCl2)-catalyzed regio-/site-selective acylation with unusually broad substrate scope. In addition to 1,2- and 1,3-diols and glycosides containing cis-vicinal diol, the substrate scope also includes glycosides without cis-vicinal diol. For such a substrate scope, usually, only methods using stoichiometric amounts of organotin reagents can lead to the same protection pattern with high selectivities and highly isolated yields (84-97% in most cases). Therefore, SnCl2, as a low toxicity and extremely cheap reagent, should be the best catalyst for regio-/site-selective acylation compared with any previously reported reagents. This journal is

Regioselective Sulfonylation/Acylation of Carbohydrates Catalyzed by FeCl3 Combined with Benzoyltrifluoroacetone and Its Mechanism Study

A catalytic amount of FeCl3 combined with benzoyl trifluoroacetone (Hbtfa) (FeCl3/Hbtfa = 1/2) was used to catalyze sulfonylation/acylation of diols and polyols using diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) or potassium carbonate (K2CO3) as a base. The catalytic system exhibited high catalytic activity, leading to excellent isolated yields of sulfonylation/acylation products with high regioselectivities. Mechanism studies indicated that FeCl3 initially formed [Fe(btfa)3] (btfa = benzoyl trifluoroacetonate) with twice the amount of Hbtfa under basic conditions in the solvent acetonitrile at room temperature. Then, Fe(btfa)3 and two hydroxyl groups of the substrates formed a five- or six-membered ring intermediate in the presence of the base. The subsequent reaction between the cyclic intermediate and a sulfonylation reagent led to the selective sulfonylation of the substrate. All key intermediates were captured in the high-resolution mass spectrometry assay, therefore demonstrating this mechanism for the first time.

An inexpensive catalyst, Fe(acac)3, for regio/site-selective acylation of diols and carbohydrates containing a 1,2-: Cis -diol

This work describes the [Fe(acac)3] (acac = acetylacetonate)-catalyzed, regio/site-selective acylation of 1,2- and 1,3-diols and glycosides containing a cis-vicinal diol. The iron(iii) catalysts initially formed cyclic dioxolane-type intermediates with substrates between the iron(iii) species and vicinal diols, and the efficient and selective acylation of one hydroxyl group was subsequently achieved by adding acylation reagents in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) under mild conditions. This reaction generally produced high selectivities and highly isolated yields with the same protection pattern as that achieved with dibutyl tinoxide-mediated schemes.

Chitosan-Silica Sulfate Nano Hybrid as a Novel and Highly Proficient Heterogeneous Nano Catalyst for Regioselective Ring Opening of Epoxides via Carboxylic Acids

The synthesis and characterization of chitosan-silica sulfate nano hybrid (CSSNH) as a novel and efficient heterogeneous nano catalyst involving acid-base bifunctional activity is described. The catalytic potency and activity of this eco-friendly catalyst was investigated in regioselective ring opening of epoxides with carboxylic acids to access structurally diverse 1,2-diol mono-esters in good to excellent yields. CSSNH catalyst was characterized using different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques encompassing scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption isotherm, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The green nature, cheapness, efficiency, ease of preparation, handling and reusability of this new catalyst makes this catalyst to be useful for green industrial processes.

Regioselective benzoylation of diols and carbohydrates by catalytic amounts of organobase

A novel metal-free organobase-catalyzed regioselective benzoylation of diols and carbohydrates has been developed. Treatment of diol and carbohydrate substrates with 1.1 equiv. of 1-benzoylimidazole and 0.2 equiv. of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DB

A green and convenient method for regioselective mono and multiple benzoylation of diols and polyols

An efficient method for regioselective benzoylation of diols and polyols was developed. The benzoylation is catalyzed by only 0.2 equiv of benzoate anion in acetonitrile with the addition of a stoichiometric amount of benzoic anhydride under very mild condition, leading to high yields. Compared with all other methods, this method shows particular advantage in regioselective multiple benzoylation of polyols, and in avoiding the use of any metal-based catalysts and any amine bases, which is more environment-friendly.

Efficient Ring opening reaction of epoxides with oxygen nucleophiles catalyzed by quaternary onium salt

An Efficient Method for the Chemoselective Preparation of Benzoylated 1,2-Diols from Epoxides

A very efficient and highly regioselective ring-opening reaction of epoxides with benzoic acid and its derivatives in the presence of cat. amount of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in anhydrous acetonitrile has been developed. This effective method is useful for the preparation of selectively protected diols as precursor for many organic syntheses such as those of acyclic nucleosides and other synthetic purposes. The advantages of this method are efficiency, selectivity, low cost, and the applicability in large-scale synthesis of β-benzoyloxyalkanols.
