Cleavage of Carboxylic Esters by Aluminum and Iodine

A one-pot procedure for deprotecting carboxylic esters under nonhydrolytic conditions is described. Typical alkyl carboxylates are readily deblocked to the carboxylic acids by the action of aluminum powder and iodine in anhydrous acetonitrile. Cleavage of lactones affords the corresponding ω-iodoalkylcarboxylic acids. Aryl acetylates undergo deacetylation with the participation of the neighboring group. This method enables the selective cleavage of alkyl carboxylic esters in the presence of aryl esters.

Aryl iodides and bromides were easily converted to their corresponding aromatic carboxylic acids via a Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction using silacarboxylic acids as an in situ source of carbon monoxide. The reaction conditions were compatible with a wide range of functional groups, and with the aryl iodides, the carbonylation was complete within minutes. The method was adapted to the double and selective isotope labeling of tamibarotene.
