Page/Page column 11-13, (2019/02/25)
Disclosed is a new process for the production of carboxylated phenol derivatives comprising at least a step of carboxylation of a mixture of (i) phenol derivative and (ii) phenolate derivative, wherein the molar ratio of (i) / (ii) is comprised between 0.8 and 1.2, in presence of CO2. A process for the production of said mixture of (i) phenol derivative and (ii) phenolate derivative is also disclosed.

We report the oxidation of a wide range of alcohols using an environmentally benign and economical process. The use of Pd/C heterogeneous catalysts along with NaBH4in aqueous ethanol or methanol and either K2CO3 or KOH as base at room temperature under molecular oxygen or air give the corresponding oxidation products. This protocol is versatile since it is capable of oxidizing alcohols to its desired carbonyl or carboxyl counterpart. Room temperature reaction in aqueous system and recyclability of the catalyst are among the advantages of this manipulation. These advantages make the process safe and cheaper rendering it favorable from both economic and environmental viewpoints. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

(Chemical Equation Presented) New general methodology of value in aromatic chemistry based on ortho-metalation sites in o-, m-, and p-anisic acids (1-3) (Scheme 1) is described. The metalation can be selectively directed to either of the ortho positions by varying the base, metalation temperature, and exposure times. Metalation of o-anisic acid (1) with s-BuLi/TMEDA in THF at -78°C occurs exclusively in the position adjacente to the carboxylate. On the other hand, a reversal of regioselectivity is observed with n-BuLi/t-BuOK. With LTMP at 0°C, the two directors of m-anisic acid (2) function in concert to direct introduction of the metal between them while n-BuLi/t-BuOK removes preferentially the proton located ortho to the methoxy and para to the carboxylate (H-4). s-BuLi/TMEDA reacts with p-anisic acid (3) exclusively in the vicinity of the carboxylate. According to these methodologies, routes to very simple methoxybenzoic acids with a variety of functionalities that are not easily accessible by other means have been developed (Table 1).
