- Catalytic Activation of Unstrained C(Aryl)-C(Alkyl) Bonds in 2,2′-Methylenediphenols
-
Catalytic activation of unstrained and nonpolar C-C bonds remains a largely unmet challenge. Here, we describe our detailed efforts in developing a rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of unstrained C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds in 2,2′-methylenediphenols aided by removable directing groups. Good yields of the monophenol products are obtained with tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In addition, the reaction is scalable, and the catalyst loading can be reduced to as low as 0.5 mol %. Moreover, this method proves to be effective to cleave C(aryl)-C(alkyl) linkages in both models of phenolic resins and commercial novolacs resins. Finally, detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies show that with C-H activation being a competitive but reversible off-cycle reaction, this transformation goes through a directed C(aryl)-C(alkyl) oxidative addition pathway.

- Selective Bromination of β-Positions of Porphyrin by Self-Catalytic Behaviour of VOTPP: Facile Synthesis, Electrochemical Redox Properties and Catalytic Application
-
Oxidovanadium(IV) complex of β-octabromo-meso-tetraphenylporphyrin, {[VIVO(TPPBr8)], 2} was synthesized by self-catalytic oxidative bromination of meso-tetraphenylporphyrinatooxidovanadium(IV) {[VIVO(TPP), 1} in excellent yield under mild conditions at 25 °C and its structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray study. UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectra further confirmed that the meso-phenyl rings are not brominated and thus emphasizes on the selectivity as well as synthetic importance of this catalytic method. In the presence of substrates e. g. phenol derivatives, 1 biomimics the vanadium bromoperoxidase (VBPO) enzyme and catalyses the oxidative bromination of substrates in water at 25 °C. Remarkably, 2 also catalyses the oxidative bromination of phenol derivatives under similar reaction conditions with very high turnover frequency (TOF) values (ca. 29 s?1) along with its recyclability. It was found that 2 showed superior catalytic performance as compared to 1 because of its electron deficient nature due to electron withdrawing bromo substituents and robust saddle shaped nonplanar structure (further supported by DFT studies).

- Regioselective monobromination of phenols with KBr and ZnAl–BrO3?–layered double hydroxides
-
The regioselective mono-bromination of phenols has been successfully developed with KBr and ZnAl–BrO3?–layered double hydroxides (abbreviated as ZnAl–BrO3?–LDHs) as brominating reagents. The para site is much favorable and the ortho site takes the priority if para site is occupied. This reaction featured with excellent regioselectivity, cheap brominating reagents, mild reaction condition, high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and provided an efficient method to synthesize bromophenols.

- Novel pleconaril derivatives: Influence of substituents in the isoxazole and phenyl rings on the antiviral activity against enteroviruses
-
Today, there are no medicines to treat enterovirus and rhinovirus infections. In the present study, a series of novel pleconaril derivatives with substitutions in the isoxazole and phenyl rings was synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activity against a panel of pleconaril-sensitive and -resistant enteroviruses. Studies of the structure-activity relationship demonstrate the crucial role of the N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group in the isoxazole ring for antiviral activity against pleconaril-resistant viruses. In addition, one or two substituents in the phenyl ring directly impact on the spectrum of antienteroviral activity. The 3-(3-methyl-4-(3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-isoxazol-5-yl)propoxy)phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 10g was among the compounds exhibiting the strongest activity against pleconaril-resistant as well as pleconaril-susceptible enteroviruses with IC50 values from 0.02 to 5.25 μM in this series. Compound 10g demonstrated markedly less CYP3A4 induction than pleconaril, was non-mutagenic, and was bioavailable after intragastric administration in mice. These results highlight compound 10g as a promising potential candidate as a broad spectrum enterovirus and rhinovirus inhibitor for further preclinical investigations.

- Practical, mild and efficient electrophilic bromination of phenols by a new I(iii)-based reagent: The PIDA-AlBr3 system
-
A practical electrophilic bromination procedure for phenols and phenol-ethers was developed under efficient and very mild reaction conditions. A broad scope of arenes was investigated, including the benzimidazole and carbazole core as well as analgesics such as naproxen and paracetamol. The new I(iii)-based brominating reagent PhIOAcBr is operationally easy to prepare by mixing PIDA and AlBr3. Our DFT calculations suggest that this is likely the brominating active species, which is prepared in situ or isolated after centrifugation. Its stability at 4 °C after preparation was confirmed over a period of one month and no significant loss of its reactivity was observed. Additionally, the gram-scale bromination of 2-naphthol proceeds with excellent yields. Even for sterically hindered substrates, a moderately good reactivity is observed.

- Efficient and Practical Oxidative Bromination and Iodination of Arenes and Heteroarenes with DMSO and Hydrogen Halide: A Mild Protocol for Late-Stage Functionalization
-
An efficient and practical system for inexpensive bromination and iodination of arenes as well as heteroarenes by using readily available dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and HX (X = Br, I) reagents is reported. This mild oxidative system demonstrates a versatile protocol for the synthesis of aryl halides. HX (X = Br, I) are employed as halogenating reagents when combined with DMSO which participates in the present chemistry as a mild and inexpensive oxidant. This oxidative system is amenable to late-stage bromination of natural products. The kilogram-scale experiment (>95% yield) shows great potential for industrial application.

The present invention provides a method for converting an aromatic hydrocarbon to a phenol by providing an aromatic hydrocarbon comprising one or more aromatic C-H bonds and one or more activated C-H bonds in a solvent; adding a phthaloyl peroxide to the solvent; converting the phthaloyl peroxide to a di-radical; contacting the di-radical with the one or more aromatic C-H bonds; oxidizing selectively one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds in preference to the one or more activated C-H bonds; adding a hydroxyl group to the one of the one or more aromatic C-H bonds to form one or more phenols; and purifying the one or more phenols.

- Metal-free oxidation of aromatic carbon-hydrogen bonds through a reverse-rebound mechanism
-
Methods for carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond oxidation have a fundamental role in synthetic organic chemistry, providing functionality that is required in the final target molecule or facilitating subsequent chemical transformations. Several approaches to oxidizing aliphatic C-H bonds have been described, drastically simplifying the synthesis of complex molecules. However, the selective oxidation of aromatic C-H bonds under mild conditions, especially in the context of substituted arenes with diverse functional groups, remains a challenge. The direct hydroxylation of arenes was initially achieved through the use of strong Bronsted or Lewis acids to mediate electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions with super-stoichiometric equivalents of oxidants, significantly limiting the scope of the reaction. Because the products of these reactions are more reactive than the starting materials, over-oxidation is frequently a competitive process. Transition-metal-catalysed C-H oxidation of arenes with or without directing groups has been developed, improving on the acid-mediated process; however, precious metals are required. Here we demonstrate that phthaloyl peroxide functions as a selective oxidant for the transformation of arenes to phenols under mild conditions. Although the reaction proceeds through a radical mechanism, aromatic C-H bonds are selectively oxidized in preference to activated-H bonds. Notably, a wide array of functional groups are compatible with this reaction, and this method is therefore well suited for late-stage transformations of advanced synthetic intermediates. Quantum mechanical calculations indicate that this transformation proceeds through a novel addition-abstraction mechanism, a kind of 'reverse-rebound' mechanism as distinct from the common oxygen-rebound mechanism observed for metal-oxo oxidants. These calculations also identify the origins of the experimentally observed aryl selectivity.

- Vanadium-catalyzed oxidative bromination promoted by Br?nsted acid or Lewis acid
-
The oxidative bromination of arenes was induced by a vanadium catalyst in the presence of a bromide salt and a Br?nsted acid or a Lewis acid under molecular oxygen, which provides an eco-friendly bromination method as compared with a conventional bromination one with bromine. This catalytic reaction could be applied to the bromination of alkenes and alkynes to give the corresponding vic-bromides. Use of aluminum halide as a Lewis acid in place of a Br?nsted acid was demonstrated to provide a more practical protocol for the oxidative bromination. From ketones, α-bromination products were obtained. AlBr3 was found to serve as both a bromide source and a Lewis acid to induce the bromination smoothly. 51V NMR experiment showed that this catalytic bromination is likely to depend on the redox cycle of a vanadium catalyst under molecular oxygen.

- Tyrosine analogues for probing proton-coupled electron transfer processes in peptides and proteins
-
A series of amino acids analogous to tyrosine, but differing in the physicochemical properties of the aryl alcohol side chain, have been prepared and characterized. These compounds are expected to be useful in understanding the relationships between structure, thermodynamics, and kinetics in long-range proton-coupled electron transfer processes in peptides and proteins. Systematic changes in the acidity, redox potential, and O-H bond strength of the tyrosine side chain could be induced upon substituting the phenol for pyridinol and pyrimidinol moieties. Further modulation was possible by introducing methyl and t-butyl substitution in the position ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl. The unnatural amino acids were prepared by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of the corresponding halogenated aryl alcohol protected as their benzyl ethers with an organozinc reagent derived from N-Boc L-serine carboxymethyl ester. Subsequent debenzylation by catalytic hydrogenation yielded the tyrosine analogues in good yield. Spectrophotometric titrations revealed a decrease in tyrosine pK a of ca. 1.5 log units per included nitrogen atom, along with a corresponding increase in the oxidation (peak) potentials of ca. 200 mV, respectively. All told, the six novel amino acids described here have phenol-like side chains with pKa's that span a range of 7.0 to greater than 10, and an oxidation (peak) potential range of greater than 600 mV at and around physiological pH. Radical equilibration EPR experiments were carried out to reveal that the O-H bond strengths increase systematically upon nitrogen incorporation (by ca. 0.5-1.0 kcal/mol), and radical stability and persistence increase systematically upon introduction of alkyl substitution in the ortho positions. The EPR spectra of the aryloxyl radicals derived from tyrosine and each of the analogues could be determined at room temperature, and each featured distinct spectral properties. The uniqueness of their spectra will be helpful in discerning one type of aryloxyl in the presence of other possible aryloxyl radicals in peptides and proteins with multiple tyrosine residues between which electrons and protons can be transferred.

- Bromide ions and methyltrioxorhenium as cocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide oxidations and brominations
-
Oxidation of alcohols by hydrogen peroxide is negligible; even when catalyzed by methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), the process requires a long reaction time. The addition of a catalytic quantity of bromide ions, as HBr or NaBr, greatly enhances the rate. Some of the reactions were carried out on a larger scale in glacial acetic acid, and others at kinetic concentrations. The data establish that Br2 is the active oxidizing agent in the system, because the catalytic rates under suitable circumstances match those for the independently measured Br2 reaction with alcohol (benzyl alcohol, in particular). At much lower levels of MTO, however, Br2 formation plays a role in the kinetics. Certain other reluctant transformations are conveniently carried out with the MTO/H2O2/Br- combination: aldehydes to methyl esters; 1,3-dioxolanes to glycol monoesters; and ethers (with cleavage) to ketones (mostly), but in fair yield only. When Br- was used in stoichiometric quantity, certain bromination reactions occur. Thus, phenyl acetylenes (PhC2R, R = H, Me, Ph) are converted to dibromoalkenes that are entirely or largely formed as the trans isomer, and phenols are brominated. The latter reaction shows the preference para > ortho > meta. Kinetic studies of benzyl alcohol oxidation with MTO/H2O2Br- were carried out in aqueous solution. With sufficient (normal) levels of MTO, the rate constant for the formation of benzaldehyde agreed with the independently determined value for Br2 + PhCH2OH, k = 4.3 x 10-3 L mol-1 s-1 at 25.0 °C; for sec- phenethyl alcohol, k = (9.8 ± 0.4) x 10-3 L mol-1 s-1. Bromine is formed from the known oxidation of Br- with H2O2, catalyzed by MTO. This reaction results in BrO-/HBOr, which is then rapidly converted to Br2. However, with substantially lower concentrations of MTO, the buildup of benzaldehyde is ca. 4-fold slower, reflecting the diminished rate of Br- oxidation.

- Catalysis of the Debromination of 4-Alkyl-4-bromo-2,5-cyclohexadienones in Aqueous Solution by α-Cyclodextrin
-
α-Cyclodextrin (CD) has little or no effect on the rates of enolization of transient 4-bromo-2,5-cyclohexadienones (2), formed during the aqueous bromination of alkylphenols.In contrast, saturation kinetics and large catalytic effect are observed for the debromination of the title dienones (4), formed by ipso bromine attack on 4-alkylphenols (alkyl = Me, Et, i-Pr, n-pr, t-Bu, 3,4-diMe).With the exception of the n-propyl case, the extent of the catalysis kc/ku = 23-78) and the dissociation constant of the CD.dienone complexes (Kd = 2.32-4.83 mM) show surprisingly little variation for the different alkyl groups.The simplest interpretation of the results is that the CD-catalyzed debromination reaction involves attack by free bromide ion on the CD.dienone complex.However, the kinetically equivalent pathway, the reaction between the free dienone 4 and the CD complex of bromide ion, is much more consistent with the low sensitivity of the catalysis to the length and size of the different alkyl groups.For this mechanism the rate enhancements are much larger (2400-4600) and almost constant.They imply that Br- in its CD complex is a stronger nucleophile than bromide ion that is completely solvated by water.The preferred mechanism is the microscopic reverse of that postulated for the CD-catalyzed bromination of phenols.The common transition state for the ipso bromination of 5 (R=Me) and the debromination of 4 (R=Me) is strongly bound by CD (Kd ca. 4.5 1E-5 M).

- Effects of Halogen Substiution on Reactions of o-Quinol Acetates with Isopropylmagnesium Bromide and Diisopropylmagnesium. Competition between Unimolecular Decomposition and Bimolecular Reactions of Radical Anions
-
When a single methyl substituent at C-2 or C-4 of an o-quinol acetate (1) is replaced by a halogen atom, a greatly decreased yield of the corresponding 3-isopropylphenol is obtained from reaction of 1 with isopropylmagnesium bromide.Replacement of a second methyl group by halogen results in a marked increase in the yield of the 3-isopropylphenol.Essentially identical product distributions are obtained from reactions of halogenated o-quinol acetates with concentrated and dilute Grignard solutions and with diisopropylmagnesium, in contrast to reactions with halogen-free o-quinol acetates.Reactions with hexadeuterioisopropylmagnesium bromide gave reduction products bearing increasing percentages of deuterium at C-3 as the number of bromines on the rings of the ω-quinol acetates increased.These data are consistent with reactions of halogenated o-quinol acetates, in contrast to those of halogen-free analogues, proceeding solely by SET processes.The reactions of halogen-stabilized radical anions with isopropyl radicals compete with decomposition of radical anions to phenoxy radicals.

Transient 4-bromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone intermediates have been observed during the aqueous bromination of phenol and several methylated derivatives.They enolize to the corresponding p-bromophenols by both acid-catalyzed and water-catalyzed pathways in the pH range 0-6.Studies carried out in buffers also indicate both general acid catalysis (α ca 0.0) and general base catalysis (β=0.54).The latter is ascribed to simple rate-limiting proton abstraction, but the former is not so easily rationalized.The very low α is attributed to a termolecular transition state (water, substrate, and general acid) in which the dienone becomes more anion-like than cation like.This seemingly anomalous behaviour can be explained by the very large enol/keto ratio (ca. 1011) for phenol.

- Observation of the Cyclohexadienone Intermediate in the Aqueous Bromination of Phenol
-
The unstable 4-bromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone intermediate involved in the aqueous bromination of phenol has been observed for the first time by stopped-flow UV spectrophotometry (λmax ca. 240 nm, ε ca. 10000).In the pH range 0-6 its rearrangement to p-bromophenol occurs by acid-catalyzed and uncatalyzed pathways.The intermediate derived from 2,6-dimethylphenol behaves similarly but rearranges more slowly and so is more easily studied.Starting from p-cresol one can also observe the cyclohexadienone resulting from bromine attack ipso to the p-methyl group.It rearranges relatively slowly by a route that is acid catalyzed and bromide ion catalyzed.However, this route accounts for only about 10percent of the reaction; the major pathway presumably results from bromine attacking at an ortho position.

Bromination of p-cresol, bromo-p-cresol, 3,4-dimethylphenol, and mesitol in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid gices as the main product the bromo derivative with bromine meta to hydroxyl, a result attributed to the intermediate formation of a bromodienone and its rearrangement.Phenols does not give m-bromophenol in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. 4-Bromo-2,4,6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone rearranges to 3-bromomesitol in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and, similarly, 2,4,6-tribromo-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone rearranges to 3-bromomesitol in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and, similarly, 2,4,6-tribromo-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone rearranges to 2,3,6-tribromo-4-methylphenol.Under appropriate conditions debromination of bromodienones is competitive with rearrangement.Tetramethylammonium bromide in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is an effective reagent for isomerization and disproportionation of bromophenols.Tetramethylammonium iodide in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is an effective reagent for selective debromination of bromophenols at the ortho and para position.

- METABROMATION DU DIMETHYL-2,6 PHENOL ET DE SON ETHER METHYLIQUE EN MILIEU SUPERACIDE
-
In SbF5-HF, reaction of bromine with 2,6-dimethylphenol gives the meta bromo compound 1b which is further halogenated to 3,4-dibromo-2,6-dimethylphenol 1c.In the same conditions ether 2a yields successively 2b and 2d.Meta bromination of compounds 1a, 2a, 2b implies electrophilic attack on the O-protonated substrate, whereas reaction of the neutral phenol 1b leads to the p-bromoderivative 1c.All products are obtained in excellent yields (>85 percent).

- Reactions of Alkyl-lithium Compounds with Aryl Halides
-
Reation of methyl-lithium with tribromophenols and with other aryl polyhalides leads directly to bi- and tri-aryl products. para-Substituents (Y) of 2,6-dibromo-4-Y-phenols promote arylation of substrates by their own lithiation products as Y becomes more electron-withdrawing.An aryne epoxide is not an intermediate in these reactions. 2,4,6-Tribromo-Z-benzenes react to form coupling products when Z can co-ordinate to an introduced ortho-lithium atom or when Z can be directly lithiated.Dimeric aggregation of the organolithium intermediates occurs so as to favor coupling to halogenated substrates.Both polar (ionic) and free-radical pathways are involved.
