Rhenium-Catalyzed Phthalide Synthesis from Benzamides and Aldehydes via C-H Bond Activation

The [4 + 1] annulation of benzamides and aldehydes for phthalide synthesis was achieved via rhenium-catalyzed C-H activation, which demonstrates an unprecedented reaction pattern distinct from those of other transition-metal catalyses. The reaction also features readily available starting materials, a wide scope for both electro-rich and electro-deficient substrates, and the elimination of homoannulation byproducts.

Halogen-magnesium exchange on unprotected aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids

The magnesiation of halogenated aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids is accomplished by their treatment with MeMgCl in the presence of LiCl and subsequent reaction with i-PrMgCl·LiCl; the resulting double-magnesiated species react with a variety of electrophiles in up to 97% yield.

Nucleophilic additions of arylzinc compounds to aldehydes mediated by CrCl3: Efficient and facile synthesis of functionalized benzhydrols, 1(3H)- isobenzofuranones, benzyl alcohols, or diaryl ketones

In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of CrCl3 and trimethylchlorosilane (TMSCl), nucleophilic addition of arylzinc compounds 1c-h to arylaldehydes 2a,b,g smoothly proceeded at room temperature to yield corresponding benzhydrols 4a-f in good yields. From arylzinc compounds 1a,b, 3-aryl-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones 3a-f were given by the CrCl3-mediated reaction with arylaldehydes 2a-f. Diaryl ketones 5a-e were obtained in good yields by the addition of excess amount of benzaldehyde as an oxidant to the resulting solution after the CrCl3-mediated reaction between arylzinc compounds 1c-g and arylaldehydes 2b,g was completed. In the nucleophilic additions of arylzinc compounds 1a,d,f to alkyladehydes 6b-f, the treatment of arylzinc compounds with CrCl3 was required prior to the addition of the aldehydes in order to prevent the fast protodezincation of arylzinc compounds by the enolizable aldehydes. In these CrCl3-mediated nucleophilic additions of arylzinc compounds to aldehydes, arylchromium(III) species are probably reactive intermediates.

Cr3+-mediated addition of arylzincs to aldehydes

Addition of arylzincs to aldehydes was achieved by making use of the novel transmetallation of arylzincs into Cr3+ compounds. Various α-substituted benzyl alcohols or 3-substituted 1(3H)-isobenzofuranones, containing reactive functional groups, were synthesized in good yields. Me3SiCl exerted beneficial effects on the reaction.
