- Silver(I)-carbene complexes/ionic liquids: Novel N-heterocyclic carbene delivery agents for organocatalytic transformations
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes with silver were investigated as sources of unsaturated NHC carbene catalysts via thermal decomposition. The NHC complex (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene) silver(I) chloride is an ionic liquid, and was found to catalyze the ring-opening polymerization of lactide at elevated temperatures to give narrowly dispersed polylactide of predictable molecular weight. Silver-carbene complexes can also be used for the catalysis of small molecule transesterification reactions. Thermolysis of the silver complexes in the presence of CS2 yielded the zwitter-ionic CS2 adducts of the carbene, implicating the intermediacy of the free carbene in these reactions.

- Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic properties of SiPW-X mesoporous silica with heteropolyacid encapsulated into their framework
-
A series of SiPW-X mesoporous silica with Keggin-type heteropolyacids (HPAs) encapsulated into their framework have been synthesized under strong acidic conditions. During hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Na 2HPO4 (P source) and Na2WO4 (W Source) are added into the initial sol-gel system to form Keggin type HPAs. The final products have been intensively characterized by various techniques, such as XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption isotherm analysis, and by IR, UV/Visible, and 31P Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Characterization results suggest that samples with an HPA weight percent of 13.3-20.7 % show very ordered hexagonal mesostructures. In addition, HPAs incorporated in the mesosilica are insoluble during catalysis. Results of catalytic tests show that SiPW-X materials have catalytic activities that are comparable to bulk HPA in catalytic tests implementing chemical reactions of both small (cumene cracking and esterification of ethanol with acetic acid) and bulky (1,3,5- triisopropylbenzene cracking and esterification of benzoic acid with tert-butanol) molecules. It can be readily separated from the reaction system for reuse, which suggests the potential industrial application. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2005.

- A one-pot and two-stage Baeyer-Villiger reaction using 2,2′-diperoxyphenic acid under biomolecule-compatible conditions?
-
An efficient oxidant named 2,2′-diperoxyphenic acid was newly developed, and it exhibited high stability as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) coupled with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). On applying this reagent in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, the reaction featured a markedly broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, giving rise to the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Particularly, in the case of pure water or 1× Phosphate Buffered Saline (1× PBS) serving as the solvent, the protocol could work well, resulting in yields ranging from 81% to 98%. Moreover, the catalytic asymmetric version of the BV reaction was explored as well, affording the corresponding products in good yields and medium ee. Remarkably, the corresponding biological compatibility and greenness assessment indicated that this reagent had favorable application prospects in the biomedical and green manufacturing fields. Meanwhile, mechanistic studies including 18O isotope effect experiments and DFT computations suggested that this reaction followed the generally accepted mechanism of BV oxidation.

- Direct Amidation of Esters by Ball Milling**
-
The direct mechanochemical amidation of esters by ball milling is described. The operationally simple procedure requires an ester, an amine, and substoichiometric KOtBu and was used to prepare a large and diverse library of 78 amide structures with modest to excellent efficiency. Heteroaromatic and heterocyclic components are specifically shown to be amenable to this mechanochemical protocol. This direct synthesis platform has been applied to the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals as well as the gram-scale synthesis of an active pharmaceutical, all in the absence of a reaction solvent.

- Silver/manganese dioxide nanorod catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing reactions and tert-butyl ester synthesis
-
Silver/manganese dioxide (Ag@MnO2) nanorods are synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was discovered that Ag@MnO2 nanorods can realize hydrogen-borrowing reactions in high yields and are also effective for the synthesis of tert-butyl esters from aryl cyanides and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in a short period of time. Mechanistic experiments revealed that this catalytic system acts as a Lewis acid in hydrogen-borrowing reactions, while the synthesis of tert-butyl esters occurs through a radical pathway. This is the first report on the excellent catalytic activity of Ag@MnO2 nanorods as a catalyst.

- Oxidative esterification of alcohols by a single-side organically decorated Anderson-type chrome-based catalyst
-
The direct esterification of alcohols with non-noble metal-based catalytic systems faces great challenges. Here, we report a new chrome-based catalyst stabilized by a single pentaerythritol decorated Anderson-type polyoxometalate, [N(C4H9)4]3[CrMo6O18(OH)3C{(OCH2)3CH2OH}], which can realize the efficient transformation from alcohols to esters by H2O2oxidation in good yields and high selectivity without extra organic ligands. A variety of alcohols with different functionalities including some natural products and pharmaceutical intermediates are tolerated in this system. The chrome-based catalyst can be recycled several times and still keep the original configuration and catalytic activity. We also propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism and prove the potential for industrial applications.

A series of acyl fluorides was synthesized at 100 mmol scale using phase-transfer-catalyzed halogen exchange between acyl chlorides and aqueous bifluoride solution. The convenient procedure consists of vigorous stirring of the biphasic mixture at room temperature, followed by extraction and distillation. Isolated acyl fluorides (usually 7-20 g) display excellent purity and can be transformed into sterically hindered amides and esters when treated with lithium amide bases and alkoxides under mild conditions.

- Enolate-Based Regioselective Anti-Beckmann C-C Bond Cleavage of Ketones
-
The Baeyer-Villiger or Beckmann rearrangements are established methods for the cleavage of ketone derivatives under acidic conditions, proceeding for unsymmetrical precursors selectively at the more substituted site. However, the fragmentation regioselectivity cannot be switched and fragmentation at the less-substituted terminus is so far not possible. We report here that the reaction of ketone enolates with commercial alkyl nitrites provides a direct and regioselective way of fragmenting ketones into esters and oximes or ω-hydroxyimino esters, respectively. A comprehensive study of the scope of this reaction with respect to ketone classes and alkyl nitrites is presented. Control over the site of cleavage is gained through regioselective enolate formation by various bases. Oxidation of kinetic enolates of unsymmetrical ketones leads to the otherwise unavailable "anti-Beckmann"cleavage at the less-substituted side chain, while cleavage of thermodynamic enolates of the same ketones represents an alternative to the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation or the Beckmann rearrangement under basic conditions. The method is suited for the transformation of natural products and enables access to orthogonally reactive dicarbonyl compounds.

- Alkali-modified heterogeneous Pd-catalyzed synthesis of acids, amides and esters from aryl halides using formic acid as the CO precursor
-
To establish an environmentally friendly green chemical process, we minimized and resolved a significant proportion of waste and hazards associated with conventional organic acids and molecular gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO). Herein, we report a facile and milder reaction procedure, using low temperatures/pressures and shorter reaction time for the carboxyl- and carbonylation of diverse arrays of aryl halides over a newly developed cationic Lewis-acid promoted Pd/Co3O4catalyst. Furthermore, the reaction proceeded in the absence of acid co-catalysts, and anhydrides for CO release. Catalyst reusability was achievedviascalable, safer, and practical reactions that provided moderate to high yields, paving the way for developing a novel environmentally benign method for synthesizing carboxylic acids, amides, and esters.

- Metal nitrate-catalyzed one-pot oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide in alcoholic solutions at room temperature
-
The activity of metal nitrate catalysts was investigated in the oxidative esterification reactions of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide. Several types of metal nitrates (alkaline, alkaline earth, and transition metals) were evaluated as catalysts. Among the assessed salts, Fe(NO3)3 was the most efficient catalyst toward the formation of the target product (i.e., benzoic alkyl ester). In methyl alcohol, benzaldehyde was selectively oxidized to benzoic acid and then esterified to methyl benzoate. The efficiency of the catalyst was correlated with its higher Lewis acidity character, which was established through the pH measurements of methanolic solutions of the soluble metal nitrate salts. The influence of main variables of the reaction, such as catalyst load, temperature, and reactant stoichiometry, was investigated. The size of the carbon chain and steric hindrance played an essential role in the reaction selectivity. While methyl and ethyl alcohols selectively provided ester as the main product (ca. 70-75%) and acetal as the subproduct, the other alcohols gave ester, hemiacetal, and benzoic acid, which was formed in the least amount. The use of an inexpensive catalyst, a green oxidant, mild conditions, and short reaction times were the positive aspects of this one-pot process. The high TON (ca. 900) is evidence of the high catalytic activity of Fe(NO3)3. It is noteworthy that this methodology does not rely upon ligands and other additives.

- A Bifunctional Copper Catalyst Enables Ester Reduction with H2: Expanding the Reactivity Space of Nucleophilic Copper Hydrides
-
Employing a bifunctional catalyst based on a copper(I)/NHC complex and a guanidine organocatalyst, catalytic ester reductions to alcohols with H2 as terminal reducing agent are facilitated. The approach taken here enables the simultaneous activation of esters through hydrogen bonding and formation of nucleophilic copper(I) hydrides from H2, resulting in a catalytic hydride transfer to esters. The reduction step is further facilitated by a proton shuttle mediated by the guanidinium subunit. This bifunctional approach to ester reductions for the first time shifts the reactivity of generally considered "soft"copper(I) hydrides to previously unreactive "hard"ester electrophiles and paves the way for a replacement of stoichiometric reducing agents by a catalyst and H2.

- A Zirconium Indazole Carboxylate Coordination Polymer as an Efficient Catalyst for Dehydrogenation-Cyclization and Oxidative Coupling Reactions
-
Rational ligand design is crucial for achieving widespread applications of coordination polymers. The preparation, structural characterisation, and catalytic applications of zirconium (IV) coordination polymer (Zr-IDA), which was derived from 1-(carboxymethyl)-1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid are reported. The Zr-IDA catalyst contains porous and highly crystalline particles with a quasi-spherical morphology around 100 nm in size, and Zr was coordinated with both O and N as shown by FT-IR and XPS measurements. Importantly, the Zr-IDA catalyst shows great activity, selectivity and stability in the oxidative coupling of benzyl cyanides with tert-butyl hydroperoxide to afford tert-butyl peresters, and the dehydrogenation cyclization of o-phenylenediamines with aromatic alcohols to afford 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives. Mechanistic investigations were carried out to study these reactions and the developed catalytic system in more detail.

- Competing dehalogenation versus borylation of aryl iodides and bromides under transition-metal-free basic conditions
-
In this work, selectivity-controllable base-promoted transition-metal-free borylation and dehalogenation of aryl halides are described. Under the conditions of borylation, the dehalogenation which emerges as a competitive side reaction has been well-controlled by carefully controlling the borylation conditions. On the other hand, the dehalogenation using benzaldehyde as a hydrogen source has also been accomplished. The applications of direct radical borylation and dehalogenation of aryl halides demonstrate their synthetic practicability in pharmaceutical-oriented organic synthesis. Based on the experimental evidences, the tBuOK/1,10-Phen-triggered radical nature of both competitive reactions has been revealed.

Trichloroacetimidates are useful reagents for the synthesis of esters under mild conditions that do not require an exogenous promoter. These conditions avoid the undesired decomposition of substrates with sensitive functional groups that are often observed with the use of strong Lewis or Br?nsted acids. With heating, these reactions have been extended to benzyl esters without electron-donating groups. These inexpensive and convenient methods should find application in the formation of esters in complex substrates.

- Dehydrogenative Coupling of Aldehydes with Alcohols Catalyzed by a Nickel Hydride Complex
-
A nickel hydride complex, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiH, has been shown to catalyze the coupling of RCHO and R′OH to yield RCO2R′ and RCH2OH, where the aldehyde also acts as a hydrogen acceptor and the alcohol also serves as the solvent. Functional groups tolerated by this catalytic system include CF3, NO2, Cl, Br, NHCOMe, and NMe2, whereas phenol-containing compounds are not viable substrates or solvents. The dehydrogenative coupling reaction can alternatively be catalyzed by an air-stable nickel chloride complex, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiCl, in conjunction with NaOMe. Acids in unpurified aldehydes react with the hydride to form nickel carboxylate complexes, which are catalytically inactive. Water, if present in a significant quantity, decreases the catalytic efficiency by forming {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOH, which causes catalyst degradation. On the other hand, in the presence of a drying agent, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOH generated in situ from {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiCl and NaOH can be converted to an alkoxide species, becoming catalytically competent. The proposed catalytic mechanism features aldehyde insertion into the nickel hydride as well as into a nickel alkoxide intermediate, both of which have been experimentally observed. Several mechanistically relevant nickel species including {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOC(O)Ph, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh, and {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh·HOPh have been independently synthesized, crystallographically characterized, and tested for the catalytic reaction. While phenol-containing molecules cannot be used as substrates or solvents, both {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh and {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh·HOPh are efficient in catalyzing the dehydrogenative coupling of PhCHO with EtOH.

More importantly, the 6th run of the iron catalyst recycles shows only a slight decrease in the yield.

- Direct Synthesis of Amides from Oxidative Coupling of Benzyl Alcohols and N-substituted Formamides Using a Co–Al Based Heterogeneous Catalyst
-
Present work reports the direct synthesis of amides from oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohols with various N-substituted formamides using a cobalt-hydrotalcite (Co-HT) derived catalyst. The Co-HT derived catalysts (Co-HT-2, Co-HT-3 and Co-HT-4 having Co2+/Al3+ molar ratio in the catalyst preparation mixture as 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1 respectively) were prepare following a co-precipitation method and characterized well by powder XRD, XPS, FEG-SEM, EDS, DTG–TGA, FT-IR and N2 physisorption measurements. A range of functional amides were obtained in good yields from oxidative coupling of various substituted benzyl alcohols and a range of N-substituted formamides using Co-HT-3 catalyst and oxidant TBHP. Mechanistic investigation suggests that the amidation reaction is associated with the formation and coupling of radical species. Furthermore, the Co-HT derived catalyst was easily recoverable and recyclable with retained high catalytic activity towards the oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol with DMF.

- Chemoselective and Metal-Free Synthesis of Aryl Esters from the Corresponding Benzylic Alcohols in Aqueous Medium Using TBHP/TBAI as an Efficient Catalytic System

A novel and transition-metal-free strategy has been developed for the synthesis of aryl esters starting from corresponding benzylic primary alcohols as the exclusive substrates using tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a terminal oxidant in the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) and imidazole, where the aliphatic alcohols remained unaffected. These reactions are highly chemoselective and associated with high yield and wide applicability accommodating a wide range of substituents. Excellent chemoselectivity has also been demonstrated through intramolecular competition experiments. This protocol can be considered as an important analogue of Tishchenko reaction using benzylic alcohols as the substrates instead of benzaldehydes.

The present work describes a highly efficient synthetic strategy for amides via oxidative coupling of benzaldehydes or benzylamines with N-substituted formamides using a heterogeneous Co/Al hydrotalcite-derived catalyst in the presence of TBHP. A series of Co/Al hydrotalcite-derived catalysts (Cat-2, Cat-3, and Cat-4 with the Co2+/Al3+ molar ratio in the synthesis mixture as 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1) have been prepared by a simple co-precipitation method and characterized using powder XRD, XPS, FEG-SEM, EDS, FT-IR, DTG-TGA and N2 physical adsorption techniques. Among the as-prepared catalysts, Cat-3 exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards the direct amidation of benzaldehydes as well as benzylamines bearing various substituents into the corresponding amides at 100 °C using TBHP as an oxidant. The mechanistic investigation of the amidation reaction revealed that the reaction follows a radical pathway. Furthermore, the catalyst is easily separable and recyclable without considerable loss in catalytic activity.

Moreover, the optimum catalyst could be efficiently reused for five times without any significant change on the catalytic effect. The improved protocol is not only efficient, but also green and pollution-free.

- Non-Pincer-Type Manganese Complexes as Efficient Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of Esters
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acid esters is essential for the green production of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and fine chemicals. Herein, we report the efficient hydrogenation of esters with manganese catalysts based on simple bidentate aminophosphine ligands. Monoligated Mn PN complexes are particularly active for the conversion of esters into the corresponding alcohols at Mn concentrations as low as 0.2 mol % in the presence of sub-stoichiometric amounts of KOtBu base.

- Oxidation of Aromatic Aldehydes to Esters: A Sulfate Radical Redox System
-
A mild oxidative esterification of various aromatic aldehydes by sulfate radical redox system was presented. In the reaction pathway exploration, the transiency of MeOSO3- was disclosed, which was generated from esterification between the in situ generated HSO4- and MeOH, a rate-limiting step in the process. More importantly, the selectivity-controlling step was represented by the subsequent nucleophilic displacement between MeOSO3- and aldehydes. The ionic oxidant 1a ((NH4)2S2O8) with more N-H numbers in the cation, as compared with 1c ((n-Bu4N)2S2O8) and 1d ((PyH)2S2O8), has better performance in the oxidative esterification of aldehydes.

- Development of a Triazine-Based tert-Butylating Reagent, TriAT-tBu
-
A new tert-butylating reagent, 2,4,6-tris(tert-butoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (TriAT-tBu) has been developed for the acid-catalyzed tert-butylation of alcohols and carboxylic acids. The reaction of various alcohols and carboxylic acids with TriAT-tBu in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid provided the corresponding tert-butyl ethers and esters in good to high yields. TriAT-tBu is an air-stable solid synthesized in good yield from inexpensive starting materials, namely, cyanuric chloride, tBuOH, and sodium hydride.

- Preparation of fluorous Yamaguchi reagents and evaluation of their reactivity in esterification
-
Fluorous Yamaguchi (FY) reagents bearing a perfluoroalkyl chain were prepared and employed in esterification reactions; the yields were similar to those obtained with the traditional Yamaguchi (TY) reagent. Fluorous benzoic acids derived from the FY reagents were separated easily after the reaction. GC analysis revealed that the initial rates of reaction with the FY reagents were higher than those with the TY reagent. The acidities of benzoic acids produced from the FY and TY reagents were predicted by DFT to be similar (1.20 and 0.96, respectively).

- A palladium-bisoxazoline supported catalyst for selective synthesis of aryl esters and aryl amides: Via carbonylative coupling reactions
-
The catalytic synthesis of aryl esters and amides has been successfully achieved in the presence of the efficient palladium-bisoxazoline supported on Merrifield's resin (Pd-BOX-M). The palladium heterogeneous catalyst was prepared and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. A bisoxazoline ligand having a suitable functional group (BOX-OH) was first synthesized, characterized, chemically supported on Merrifield's resin, and finally coordinated to palladium(ii) chloride. The catalytic activity and the recycling ability of the new palladium supported catalyst have been investigated in the alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation of various aryl iodides using different alkyl and aromatic alcohols and amines as nucleophiles. The palladium heterogeneous catalyst demonstrated excellent catalytic activity and very high recycling ability in the above two carbonylation reactions. The palladium heterogeneous catalysts showed an excellent stability under carbon monoxide and under the experimental conditions.

- Conversion of amides to esters by the nickel-catalysed activation of amide C-N bonds
-
Amides are common functional groups that have been studied for more than a century. They are the key building blocks of proteins and are present in a broad range of other natural and synthetic compounds. Amides are known to be poor electrophiles, which is typically attributed to the resonance stability of the amide bond. Although amides can readily be cleaved by enzymes such as proteases, it is difficult to selectively break the carbon-nitrogen bond of an amide using synthetic chemistry. Here we demonstrate that amide carbon-nitrogen bonds can be activated and cleaved using nickel catalysts. We use this methodology to convert amides to esters, which is a challenging and underdeveloped transformation. The reaction methodology proceeds under exceptionally mild reaction conditions, and avoids the use of a large excess of an alcohol nucleophile. Density functional theory calculations provide insight into the thermodynamics and catalytic cycle of the amide-to-ester transformation. Our results provide a way to harness amide functional groups as synthetic building blocks and are expected to lead to the further use of amides in the construction of carbon-heteroatom or carbon-carbon bonds using non-precious-metal catalysis.

- Intramolecular rearrangement of α-azidoperoxides: An efficient synthesis of tert-butyl esters
-
An unprecedented intramolecular rearrangement of α-azidoperoxides, promoted by simple organic base to provide tert-butyl esters, has been presented. Further, a one-pot methodology consisting of in situ generation of the α-azidoperoxides from corresponding aldehydes followed by base-promoted rearrangement to obtain the desired ester has also been executed. Relevant mechanistic studies, to provide the proof for intramolecular alkoxy transfer, are investigated.

- Metal-free carbonylations by photoredox catalysis
-
The synthesis of benzoates from aryl electrophiles and carbon monoxide is a prime example of a transition-metalcatalyzed carbonylation reaction which is widely applied in research and industrial processes. Such reactions proceed in the presence of Pd or Ni catalysts, suitable ligands, and stoichiometric bases. We have developed an alternative procedure that is free of any metal, ligand, and base. The method involves a redox reaction driven by visible light and catalyzed by eosin Y which affords alkyl benzoates from arene diazonium salts, carbon monoxide, and alcohols under mild conditions. Tertiary esters can also be prepared in high yields. DFT calculations and radical trapping experiments support a catalytic photoredox pathway without the requirement for sacrificial redox partners.

- Silica supported palladium-phosphine as a reusable catalyst for alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation of aryl and heteroaryl iodides
-
Silica-supported palladium phosphine complexes were prepared for alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides. These catalysts were highly efficient for the carbonylation of unprotected hydroxy-aryl, amino-aryl, iodoindole and iodopyrazole. The carbonylation of unprotected iodopyrazole is challenging and their carbonylation was achieved for the first and obtained corresponding carbonylative products are biologically active. The applicability of developed protocols tolerates wide range of functional groups with excellent yields. The catalyst was easily recovered and shows significant recyclability up to five consecutive cycles without loss in its catalytic activity and selectivity. The prepared catalysts were characterized by different techniques such as FEG-SEM, EDS, FT-IR, XPS and ICP-AES spectroscopy.

- Easy, Green and Safe Carbonylation Reactions through Zeolite-Catalyzed Carbon Monoxide Production from Formic Acid
-
Zeolites with the right shape and acid site density and strength, such as certain ZSM-5 forms, were able to cleanly decompose formic acid to carbon monoxide (CO), and the latter could be directly used in palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions. A simple two-reactor system was designed to produce CO conveniently and then further react this gas in a safe way. The two-reactor system is particularly cheap, easy to set up and use. In addition, the carbonylation conditions without pressure allowed for very efficient CO incorporation, with only 1% of palladium(II) chloride (PdCl2) and Xantphos.

The direct synthesis of pentafluoroethyl copper (CuC2F 5) from a cuprate reagent and ethyl pentafluoropropionate as one of the most economical and useful pentafluoroethyl sources was accomplished. The advantages of this method are; all the reagents employed are low-cost and operationally simple, and the CuC2F5 reagent is prepared in virtually quantitative yield. Furthermore, the CuC2F5 reagent prepared was successfully applied to two types of pentafluoroethylations with arylboronic acids and aryl bromides to provide the pentafluoroethylated aromatic products in good-to-excellent yields, including large scale operations.

- Oxoammonium salt oxidations of alcohols in the presence of pyridine bases
-
Oxoammonium salt oxidations (using 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate) of alcohols containing a β-oxygen atom in the presence of pyridine yield dimeric esters, while in the presence of 2,6-lutidine the product is a simple aldehyde. The formation of a betaine between pyridine and an aldehyde is presented to explain this disparity in reactivity. The betaine is oxidized by the oxoammonium salt to give an N-acylpyridinium ion that serves as an acylating agent for ester formation. Steric effects deter the formation of such a betaine with 2,6-disubstituted pyridines. A series of alcohols containing a β-oxygen substituent were oxidized to aldehydes in the presence of 2,6-lutidine, and a short study of the relative reactivity of various alcohols is given. An overall mechanism for oxoammonium cation oxidations is suggested, premised on nucleophilic additions to the oxygen atom of the positively charged nitrogen-oxygen double bond. Possible mechanisms for both dimeric oxidations and simple oxidations are given.

- Copper-catalyzed decarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids: En route to milder reaction conditions
-
The copper-catalyzed decarboxylation of carboxylic aromatic acids has been advantageously achieved by using aliphatic amines like tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) or hexamethylenetetraamine (HMTA) as ligands instead of the aromatic heterocyclic amines (quinoline, phenanthroline) used until now. The improvement is significant since the reaction can be performed at a lower temperature (ca. 50 °C less) and the reaction time is clearly shorter (15 min instead of 12 to 24 h). Copyright
