- An efficient palladium-catalyzed synthesis of cinnamyl ethers from aromatic halides, phenols, and allylic chloride
-
A one-pot, two-step catalytic protocol for the preparation of cinnamyl ethers from simple and readily available aryl halides, phenols and allyl chloride is reported for the first time. This simple and highly efficient palladium nanoparticles catalytic system shows good regio- and stereoselectivities and affords the desired products in good to high yields (49-85%) from aryl iodides. Furthermore, less reactive aryl bromides can also give the cinnamyl ethers in moderate yields (24-72%).

- Thermodynamic, spectroscopic, and density functional theory studies of allyl aryl and prop-1-enyl aryl ethers. Part 1. Thermodynamic data of isomerization
-
A chemical equilibration study of the relative thermodynamic stabilities of seventy isomeric allyl aryl ethers (a) and (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers (b) in DMSO solution has been carried out. From the variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature the Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies of isomerization at 298.15 K have been evaluated. Because of their low enthalpies, the (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers are strongly favored at equilibrium, the Gibbs energies of the a→b isomerization ranging from -12 to -23 kJ mol-1. The entropy contribution is negligible in most reactions, but occasionally small positive values less than +10 J K-1 mol-1 of the entropy of isomerization are found. The equilibration studies were also extended to involve two pairs of related isomeric ethers with a Me substituent on C(2) of the olefinic bond. The Me substituent was found to increase the relative thermodynamic stability of the allylic ethers by ca. 3.4 kJ mol-1.
