A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

It is shown that the tert-butyloxycarbonylation of phenols, alcohols, enols, and thiols can be accomplished by reaction of these functionalities with di-tert-butyl bicarbonate under phase transfer conditions.The reactions proceed in high yield and can also be used for the introduction of t-BOC groups onto functionalized polymer backbones such as poly(p-hydroxystyrene).In addition, a study is made of the selectivity towards tert-butyloxycarbonilation of various polyfunctional compounds.
