Reductive condensations of alcohols with aldehydes/ketones to generate ethers are catalyzed by a readily accessible thiourea organocatalyst that operates in combination with HCl. 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane serves as a convenient reducing reagent. This strategy is applicable to challenging substrate combinations and exhibits functional group tolerance. Competing reductive homocoupling of the carbonyl component is suppressed.
Acid- and isobutylene-free synthesis of t-butyl ethers by in situ formation of 2-t-butoxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate

supporting information, p. 7133 - 7135 (2015/01/08)
The title reagent is formed in situ by alkylation of 2-t-butoxypyrine. The subsequent addition of an alcohol substrate leads to the formation of t-butyl ethers without the need for isobutylene gas or acid activators.

A new method for the preparation of tert-butyl ethers is described starting from aryl aldehyde and ketone tosylhydrazones under Bamford-Stevens reaction conditions (t-BuOK/t-BuOH).

Benzylsilane and benzyltin compounds were oxidized by oxovanadium(V) compound under an oxygen atmosphere to afford the corresponding aromatic aldehydes (ketones) and/or carboxylic acids. In the reaction of benzyltins, oxovanadium(V) compound can be reduce
REACTIVITY OF 3,6-DIMETHOXY-3,6-DIMETHYLCYCLOHEXA-1,4-DIENE: NUCLEAR VERSUS BENZYLIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION
Alonso, Francisco,Barba, Isidoro,Yus, Miguel

The treatment of cis/trans-3,6-dimethoxy-3,6-dimethylcyclohexa-1,4-diene (ca. 1/1 mixture; easily prepared electrochemically in multigram scale from p-xylene) under acidic conditions (acetic, trifluoroacetic, sulfuric, or a Lewis acid) yields almost exclusively 2-methoxy-1,4-dimethylbenzene 4, through a trasposition reaction.The use of aqueous hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid gives 2,5-dimethylphenol 12, and with hydrogen chloride a mixture of 2- and α-chloro-p-xylene (13, 14) is isolated.Different oxygen-, nitrogen-, and sulfur-containing nucleophiles (alcohols,thiols, or hydrazoic acid) react with 3 under acid catalysis giving the corresponding products resulting from a nuclear or/ and benzylic substitution on p-xylene (15 - 20).The reaction of compound 3 with organolithium reagents affords exclusively benzylic products 21 in a regiospecific manner.In all cases the mixtures of isomers are separated by column chromatography.The lithiation of compound 3 with lithium powder or lithium naphthalenide fails, giving p-xylene.A probable mechanism is proposed for the studied reactions.
Photochemistry of phosphate esters: An efficient method for the generation of electrophiles

, p. 6016 - 6021 (2007/10/02)
The photochemical cleavage of benzyl diethyl phosphates, 1a-g, has been examined in tert-butyl alcohol, which produces the corresponding benzyl tert-butyl ether as the major solvolysis product upon direct irradiation. The multiplicity of the reactive excited state has been established as the singlet state. Evidence favoring an intermediate benzyl cation-phosphate ion pair formed from photofragmentation includes oxygen-18 scrambling, racemization of chiral benzyl phosphates, and substituent effects on the rate of reaction. The existence of an electrophilic intermediate is further supported by a linear free energy relationship for the rate of disappearance of 1, kdis, with Hammett σ, which gave a ρ value of -0.90 and for the rate of appearance of 2, kapp, a Hammett ρ value of -0.97. Possible mechanisms including an electron transfer either before or after homolysis or simple heterolysis of the ester bond are evaluated.
Generation of Bicycloheptatrienes

Derivatives of bicycloheptatriene have been generated in solution by the base-induced dehydrochlorination of gem-dichlorocyclopropanes.Reaction of 7,7-dichlorodibenzobicycloheptane with potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran at 0 deg C gives mainly products derived from solvent incorporation by carbene insertion.Evidence that the carbene results from rearrangement of the bicycloheptatriene derives from the successful interception of the bicycloheptatriene with nucleophile (MeS-). endo-7-Chlorodibenzobicycloheptane failed to reactwith potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran.Generation of benzobicycloheptatrienes was also accomplished via the base-induced dehydrochlorination of gem-dichlorocyclopropanes. 1-Methylbenzobicycloheptatriene gives products derived from multiple carbene-carbene rearrangements.In contrast, nonannelated methylbicycloheptatrienes generated by the dehydrochlorination route give only carbene-derived products resulting from the initially produced bicycloheptatriene.
