BiCl3-Facilitated removal of methoxymethyl-ether/ester derivatives and DFT study of -O-C-O- bond cleavage

A simple method for the cleavage of methoxymethyl (MOM)-ether and ester derivatives using bismuth trichloride (BiCl3) is described. The alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, benzyl and anthracene MOM ether derivatives, as well as MOM esters of both aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids, were deprotected in good yields. To better understand the molecular roles of BiCl3and water for MOM cleavage, two possible binding pathways were investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The theoretical results indicate the differential initial binding site preferences of phenolic and alcoholic MOM substrates to the Bi atom and suggest that water plays a key role in facilitating the cleavage of the MOM group.

Oxidative Dehydroxymethylation of Alcohols to Produce Olefins

Catalyst compositions for the conversion of aldehyde compounds and primary alcohol compounds to olefins are disclosed herein. Reactions include oxidative dehydroxymethylation processes and oxidative dehydroformylation methods, which are beneficially conducted in the presence of a sacrificial acceptor of H2 gas, such as N,N-dimethylacrylamide.
