- One-pot solvent-free synthesis of triaryl- and triheteroarylmethanes by Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of arenes/heteroarenes with trialkyl orthoformates
-
A convenient, practical and highly efficient one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of triaryl- and triheteroarylmethane derivatives by Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of trialkyl orthoformates in combination with a wide variety of arenes/heteroarenes at room temperature under solvent-free conditions and in an air atmosphere. The methodology offers an operational simplicity, high atom economy and environmentally benign procedure. Furthermore, selected compound 3k showed promising anti-inflammatory activity with inhibition nitric oxide and did not exhibit significant cytotoxic effects on macrophage cells.

- Electrophilic Aromatic Formylation with Difluoro(phenylsulfanyl) methane
-
Difluoro(phenylsulfanyl)methane (PhSCF 2 H) was found to undergo a reaction with aromatic compounds mediated by SnCl 4, through a thionium intermediate characterized by NMR and TD-DFT analyses, leading to the formation of a mixture of S, S ′-diphenyl dithioacetal and aromatic aldehyde which, after oxidative hydrolysis, provides the aromatic aldehyde in good to excellent yields. The salient feature of the present work is the reaction of activated aromatic compounds containing a deactivating ester functional group, leading to the formylated products in good yields.

- Orthoamides, LXVII [1]. Bis(diformylamino)methane - A new efficient formylating reagent for aromatic compounds
-
Formaldehyde reacts with diformamide (10) to give N-(hydroxymethyl) diformamide (11), which upon treatment with thionylchloride yields N-(chlormethyl)diformamide (12) together with small amounts of oxydimethylenebis(diformamide) (13). Various diformylamine derivatives, such as diformylaminomethyl formiate (14), diformylaminomethylisothiocyanate (15) and the N-diformylaminomethylated guanidinium salt 16, can be prepared from 12. Bis(diformylamino) methane (7) can be obtained by the reaction of sodium diformamide (8) with either 1-(chloromethyl)pyridinium chloride (9) or N-(chloromethyl)diformamide (12) in acetonitrile. The action of tris(chloromethyl) amine (18) on sodium diformamide (8) affords tris(diformylaminomethyl)amine (19). The constitution of the compounds 7,11 and 19 was confirmed by crystal structure determination. The nature of the products from the reactions of aromatic compounds with 12 depends on the Lewis acid which is used as activator. Thus the N-benzylformamides 20a, b can be obtained from toluene and mesitylene and 12/BF3-ether, whereas 1,2,4- trimethoxybenzene is formylated by 12/AlCl3 to give the aldehyde 22. Interestingly enough, a novel and efficient formylating reagent resulted from these investigations: bis(diformylamino)methane (7), which can be activated by Lewis acids, e. g. AlCl3. The scope of this procedure is comparable with that of the Olah-formylation method (formylfluoride/BF3).
