Synthesis of benzyl alkyl ethers was performed in high yields by intermolecular dehydration of benzyl and primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols under the effect of copper containing catalysts. The formation of benzyl alkyl ethers occurs with participation of benzyl cation.
Tandem ring-closing metathesis/transfer hydrogenation: Practical chemoselective hydrogenation of alkenes
Connolly, Timothy,Wang, Zhongyu,Walker, Michael A.,McDonald, Ivar M.,Peese, Kevin M.
, p. 4444 - 4447 (2015/01/09)
An operationally simple chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of alkenes using ruthenium metathesis catalysts is presented. Of great practicality, the transfer hydrogenation reagents can be added directly to a metathesis reaction and effect hydrogenation of the product alkene in a single pot at ambient temperature without the need to seal the vessel to prevent hydrogen gas escape. The reduction is applicable to a range of alkenes and can be performed in the presence of aryl halides and benzyl groups, a notable weakness of Pd-catalyzed hydrogenations. Scope and mechanistic considerations are presented.
Direct room-temperature lactonisation of alcohols and ethers onto amides: An "amide strategy" for synthesis
Valerio, Viviana,Petkova, Desislava,Madelaine, Claire,Maulide, Nuno
supporting information, p. 2606 - 2610 (2013/03/14)
Last-minute deal: A direct lactonisation of ethers and alcohols onto amides that proceeds at room temperature under mild conditions is reported (see scheme). This allows the effective saving of up to two unproductive, sequential deprotection operations in synthetic sequences. Mechanistic studies are described, and a new "amide strategy" that exploits the dual robustness/late-stage selective activation properties of this functional group is outlined. Copyright
