An external oxidant-free protocol for the generation of isocyanates from hydroxamic acids assisted by trivalent phosphine under mild electrochemical conditions was reported. The process started with the anodic oxidation of hydroxamic acids, followed by reacting with phosphine to form corresponding alkoxyphosphoniums and subsequent rearrangement with the release of tri-substituted phosphine oxide as the driving force to give isocyanates, which were trapped by N-based nucleophiles to produce various ureas. This method provides a broadly applicable procedure to access isocyanate intermediates under mild electrochemical conditions.

The 2-(neopentylsulfinyl)aniline directing group that promotes rapid palladium-catalyzed C–H acetoxylation and alkenylation of arylacetamides has been developed. The acetoxylation reaches completion within only 40 min at 100 °C and leads to the bis-functionalized products. Alternatively, the reaction can be carried out at room temperature, which is beneficial for sensitive substrates. For the alkenylation, we have developed a protocol in which easily available 1-substituted cyclopropanols were employed as equivalents of vinyl ketones.

We report an unprecedented mode of reactivity of carboxylic acids. A series of tertiary carboxylic acids, containing at least one phenyl α-substituent, undergo loss of carbon monoxide at room temperature (295 K), by a one pot reaction with 0.5-1 molar equivalents of WCl6 in dichloromethane. A plausible mechanism for the Ph3CCO2H/WCl6 reaction, leading to [CPh3][WOCl5] and Ph3CCl, is proposed on the basis of DFT calculations. The analogous reactions involving CEt(Ph)2CO2H, CMe(Ph)2CO2H and CMe2(Ph)CO2H selectively afforded stable hydrocarbons (alkene or indene, depending on the case), apparently resulting from the rearrangement of elusive tertiary carbocations.
