The esterification of cinnamic acid has been deeply investigated using ethanol as nucleophile and Candida antarctica lipase type B (CAL-B) as suitable biocatalyst. Special attention has been paid to the role that the solvent plays in the production of ethyl cinnamate. Therefore, volatile organic solvents and deep eutectic mixtures were employed in order to find optimal reaction conditions. Once that hexane was selected as the solvent of choice, other parameters that affect the enzyme activity were investigated in order to produce ethyl cinnamate with excellent yield. The CAL-B loading, nucleophile equivalents, temperature and reaction time have been identified as key parameters in the enzyme efficiency, and the potential of lipase-catalysed esterification has been finally exploited to produce a series of ethyl esters with different pattern substitutions on the aromatic ring.

We have developed hypervalent iodine(iii) induced oxidative olefination of primary and secondary benzylamines using 2C-Wittig reagents, which provides easy access to α,β-unsaturated esters. Mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields with high (E) selectivity, and a broad substrate scope are the key features of this reaction. We have successfully carried out the gram-scale synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters.

Direct C-H functionalization of aryl ethers remains challenging owing to their low reactivity and selectivity. Herein, a novel strategy for nondirected C-H alkenylation of aryl ethers promoted by a dual ligand catalyst was demonstrated. This catalytic system readily achieved the highly efficient alkenylation of alkyl aryl ethers (anisole, phenetole, n-propyl phenyl ether, n-butyl phenyl ether and benzyl phenyl ether), cyclic aryl ethers (1,4-benzodioxan, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, dibenzofuran), and diphenyl oxides. Moreover, the proposed methodology was successfully employed for the late-stage modification of complex drugs containing the aryl ether motif. Interestingly, the compounds developed herein displayed fluorescent properties, which would facilitate their biological applications.
