2-Acylimidazoles are widely used as post-Transformable carboxylic acid equivalents in chemoselective and enantioselective reactions. Their transformations, however, require pretreatment with highly reactive, toxic methylating reagents to facilitate C-C bond cleavage. Here, we demonstrate that such pretreatment can be avoided and the C-C bond cleaved under neutral conditions without the use of additional reagents or catalysts. The scope of the reaction, including the use of products reported in the literature as substrates, and some mechanistic insights are described.
μ-Oxo-Dinuclear-Iron(III)-Catalyzed O-Selective Acylation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Amino Alcohols and Transesterification of Tertiary Alcohols

A highly chemoselective and reactive μ-oxo-dinuclear iron(III) salen catalyst for transesterification was developed. The developed iron complex catalyzed acylation of aliphatic amino alcohols with nearly perfect O-selectivity, even when using activated esters, for which chemoselectivity is more difficult to control. In addition, O-selective transesterification of aromatic amino alcohols was achieved for the first time. The high activity of the iron complex enabled the use of sterically congested tertiary alcohols, including unprecedented tert-butanol.
Oxidative esterification of aldehydes using a recyclable oxoammonium salt
Kelly, Christopher B.,Mercadante, Michael A.,Wiles, Rebecca J.,Leadbeater, Nicholas E.
, p. 2222 - 2225 (2013/06/05)
A simple, high yielding, rapid route for the oxidative esterification of a wide range aldehydes to hexafluoroisopropyl (HFIP) esters using the oxoammonium salt 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (1a) is reported. These esters can be readily transformed into a variety of other functional groups. The spent oxidant (1b) can be recovered and conveniently reoxidized to regenerate the oxoammonium salt, 1a.
