A SO2F2 mediated mild, practical, and gram-scale dehydroxylative transforming primary alcohols to quaternary ammonium salts

A simple, practical and gram-scale process for direct transformation of primary alcohols or silyl ethers to ammonium salts was developed. This method has the feathers of easy work-up (a simple filtration), mild condition, high yield, great practicality and robustness. And the application of the ammonium salts in Suzuki coupling reaction was also accomplished.

Recoverable phase-transfer catalysts with fluorinated anions: Generation and reactions of dichlorocarbene and CCl3 anion in the heterogeneous system KOH(s)/CHCl3/nBu4NPF6

Tetraalkylammonium salts bearing PF6- and BF 4- anions have been recognized as recoverable phase-transfer catalysts for the synthesis of 1,1-dichlorocyclopropane and α-(trichloromethyl) carbinol derivatives from alkenes or aldehydes in the heterogeneous system KOH(s)/CHCl3. The catalysts retained their catalytic activity over several reaction cycles. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.

SUBSTITUTION OF THE ANION IN AMMONIUM AND PHOSPHONIUM CHLORIDES BY THE ACTION OF ELECTROPHILIC AGENTS

N,N-Dialkylmethaniminium iodides were obtained by the reactions of N,N-dialkylmethaniminium chlorides with methyl iodide.The reactions of ammonium and phosphonium chlorides with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate, dimethyl sulfate, methyl tosylate, and methyl iodide take place with substitution of the chloride ion by the BF4-, CH3SO3O-, p-CH3C6H4SO3- or I- ions.Substitution of the chloride ion of phosphonium salts by the iodide ion can be realized by the action of trimethyliodosilane.
