Co(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Quinazolines via C-H Activation of N-Sulfinylimines and Benzimidates

C-H activation of arenes has been established as an important strategy for heterocycle synthesis via annulations between arenes and unsaturated coupling partners. However, nitriles failed to act as such a coupling partner. Dioxazolones have been employed as a synthon of nitriles, and subsequent coupling with arenes such as N-sulfinylimines and benzimidates bearing a functionalizable directing group provided facile access to two classes of quinazolines under Co(III)-catalysis.

Catalytic Friedel-Crafts acylation: Magnetic nanopowder CuFe 2O4 as an efficient and magnetically separable catalyst

Catalytic regioselective Friedel-Crafts acylation of an array of anisoles/arenes with various acid chlorides using 5-20 mol % of magnetic nanopowder CuFe2O4 is reported. Unlike the conventional Friedel-Crafts reactions, which are catalyzed by moisture sensitive homogeneous catalysts/promoters, the nanopowder CuFe2O4 catalyst is moisture insensitive and the product/ketone-catalyst isolation is easily achieved using the magnetic properties of CuFe2O4.

MoO2Cl2 as a novel catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation and sulfonylation

The use of MoO2Cl2 as a novel catalyst for Friedel-Crafts acylation and sulfonylation is described. A series of aromatic ketones and sulfones were prepared in moderate to good yields using acyl chloride or sulfonyl chloride in the presence of MoO2Cl2 (20 mol %), under solvent-free conditions.

Esters as acylating reagent in a Friedel-Crafts reaction: Indium tribromide catalyzed acylation of arenes using dimethylchlorosilane

(Chemical Equation Presented) The Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes with esters by dimethylchlorosilane and 10 mol % of indium tribromide has been achieved. The key intermediate RCOOSi(Cl)Me2 is generated from alkoxy esters with the evolution of the corresponding alkanes. The scope of the alkoxy ester moiety was wide: tert-butyl, benzyl, allyl, and isopropyl esters were successful. In addition, we demonstrated the direct synthesis of the indanone intermediate 11 of salviasperanol from ester 10.

Carboxylic Trifluoromethanesulfonic Anhydrides as Highly Effective Acylation Agents. - Perfluoroalkanesulfonic Acid Catalyzed Acylation of Arenes

Arene- and alkanecarboxylic trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydrides 2 and 5 are highly effective acylation agents, which react without Friedel-Crafts catalysts even with deactivated aromatics to yield aryl ketones 3 and 6, respectively.Acylation of arenes with carbonyl chlorides 4 and catalytic amounts of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid gives ketones 3 and 6, resp., in good yields.Under similar conditions other strong Broensted acids show a considerably smaller degree of catalytic effect.

LIQUID-PHASE CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF 2,5-DIMETHYLDIPHENYLMETHANE AND ITS METHYL-, CHLORO-, AND NITRO-SUBSTITUTED DERIVATIVES

The oxidation of 2,5-dimethyldiphenylmethane and its methyl, chloro, and nitro derivatives with oxygen in acetic acid in the presence of cobalt-manganese-bromide catalyst to benzophenone-2,5-dicarboxylic acids takes place with the intermediate formation of either 2,5-dimethylbenzophenones or products from oxidation of the methyl groups.The ratio of the oxidation paths depends on the nature of the substituent, and the contribution from the path involving initial oxidation of the methylene fragment changes with the substituents in the order 4'-CH3>H>4'-Cl>2'-Cl>4'-NO2.
