Base-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of primary alcohols to form cross-esters as major products, liberating hydrogen gas, is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by a pincer complex of earth-abundant manganese in the presence of catalytic base, without any hydrogen acceptor or oxidant. Mechanistic insight indicates that a dearomatized complex is the actual catalyst, and indeed this independently prepared dearomatized complex catalyzes the reaction under neutral conditions.

By using a strained four-membered ring disilane (3,4-benzo-1,1,2,2-tetraethyldisilacyclobutene) and CsF, a wide range of aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, benzyl, allyl, and alkyl halides was successfully carboxylated under an ambient CO2 atmosphere (CO2 balloon) at room temperature within 2 h. In this carboxylation, a highly reactive silyl anion, which is generated from the disilane and CsF, is a key to facilitating the formation of a carbanion equivalent. The resulting anionic species can be trapped with CO2 to produce carboxylic acids with high efficiency.
Oxidation process of ethers
-
, (2008/06/13)
An ether is oxidized with oxygen under an oxidation catalyst comprising an imide compound (such as N-hydroxyphthalimide) or the imide compound and a co-catalyst to produce the corresponding chain or cyclic ester or anhydride. The co-catalyst may be a transition metal compound. The above process provides a process for oxidizing an ether by oxygen efficiently to produce the corresponding oxide (such as an ester, an hydride) with high conversion and selectivity.
