For the first time, BBr3-assisted nucleophilic substitution was applied to a variety of β-O-4 and α-O-4 model compounds for the highly effective cleavage of different C-O bonds, including C-Oα-OH, Cβ-O/Cα-O and CMe-O bonds (99% conversion for most cases). Without any pretreatment, the substitution proceeds at room temperature in the absence of any catalyst, or additive, selectively affording phenols and important organic synthesis reagents, aromatic alkyl bromides, in high to excellent yields (up to 98%). Preliminary studies also highlight the prospect of this method for the effective cleavage of different types of C-O bonds in real lignin. A total 14 wt % yield of aromatic alkyl bromide, 4-(1,2-dibromo-3-hydroxypropyl)benzene-1,2-diol (10), has been obtained from an extracted lignin through this method.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of structurally diverse imidazoles through a multicomponent reaction involving an azirine, an amine, and an aldehyde is described. The method is simple and environmentally benign, producing multifunctionalized imidazoles in moderate-to-good yields and in a regioselective manner, which was demonstrated by NMR experiments and X-ray analysis. A mechanism is proposed in which the amine participates not only as a reactant, but also as a nucleophilic reaction promoter.
Stereoselective synthesis of (E)-3,3-diaryl and (E)-3-aryl-3-aryloxy allylamines and allylalcohols from trans-cinnamyl chloride and alcohol

In this work we describe the regio and stereoselective synthesis of (E)-3,3-diaryl and (E)-3-aryl-3-aryloxy allylamines and allylalcohols. The starting materials are the non-expensive commercially available cinnamyl alcohol and chloride. The bromination/dehydrobromination sequence furnished the (E)-3-bromo-3-phenylallyl amines and alcohol as single regioisomers and with high stereoselectivity (>98%). These vinyl bromides were used as substrates in cross-coupling reactions furnishing the arylated products with good to excellent yields and total E-configuration retention. With this protocol, we were able to produce regio and stereospecifically trisubstituted olefins and vinyl ethers by Suzuki cross-coupling and Ullmann vinylation.
