Tropylium-Catalyzed O-H Insertion Reactions of Diazoalkanes with Carboxylic Acids

Herein, we describe the application of a nonbenzenoid aromatic carbocation, namely tropylium, as an organic Lewis acid catalyst in O-H functionalization reactions of diazoalkanes with benzoic acids. The newly developed protocol is applicable to a wide range of diazoalkane and carboxylic acid substrates with excellent efficiency (43 examples, up to 99% yield).

Photochemical reactions of alkyl phenylglyoxylates

Three new photoproducts, ethyl O-benzoyl mandelate (5a), ethyl O-acetylmandelate (6a), and biphenyl triketone (7a) are isolated and identified in the reactions of ethyl phenylglyoxylate (1a) in benzene. Quantum yields and initial rate constants of product formation are shown to be concentration dependent. For the formation of carbonyl product 3 at lower starting material concentrations (N) and intermolecular H abstraction (k1) of methyl phenylglyoxylate (1d) are measured.
