A new type of polymeric dehydrating reagent, readily prepared by the treatment of polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxide with triflic anhydride, was found to be effective in a variety of dehydration reactions such as ester and amide formation; the polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxide was easily recovered and reused several times without the loss of activity.     

Strategic Utilization of Multifunctional Carbene for Direct Synthesis of Carboxylic–Phosphinic Mixed Anhydride from CO2

Direct synthesis of carboxylic–phosphinic mixed anhydrides has been achieved by treating carbon dioxide with N‐phosphine oxide‐substituted imidazolylidenes (PoxIms) that contain both nucleophilic carbene and electrophilic phosphorus moieties. This novel mixed anhydride was efficiently derivatized into an ester, an amide, and an unsymmetrical ketone via transformation into its corresponding imidazolium salt followed by a dual substitution reaction. The presented work used well‐designed multifunctional carbene reagents to establish a novel utility for carbon dioxide in organic synthesis.     

Ni(II)/Zn-Mediated chemoselective arylation of aromatic aldehydes: facile synthesis of diaryl carbinols

Direct arylation of aromatic aldehydes with aryl bromides in the presence of Ni(II)/Zn was investigated. The choice of ligand in this nickel-catalyzed coupling was critical to the formation of the secondary alcohols. Monodentate phosphine ligands were ineffective, whereas NiBr(2)(dppe)/Zn successfully catalyzed this reductive coupling reaction. The reaction conditions were mild and diarylcarbinols with a variety of functional groups such as ketone, ester, amide, and nitrile groups were readily prepared.

Direct formation of esters and amides from carboxylic acids using diethyl chlorophosphate in pyridine

An efficient method involving pyridine activation of the carboxylate-phosphate anhydride pathway is described resulting in a direct synthesis of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols, as well as in the formation of useful amide and peptide derivatives. The reaction proceeds with retention of configuration with both chiral secondary alcohols and α-amino acid derivatives. Ester and amide products can be isolated directly in high yield due to the water soluble nature of the side products.     

Preparation of isatoates from isatoic anhydride

A wide variety of alkyl isatoates can be prepared in good yield from the high temperature reaction of isatoic anhydride with alcohols. Isatoates were found to undergo an apparent high temperature rearrangement reaction. Proposed reaction schemes are presented for the formation of isatoates and the subsequent rearrangement reaction.     

Polymer-supported o-benzyl and o-allylisoureas: convenient preparation and use in ester synthesis from carboxylic acids

[reaction: see text] Polymer-supported O-methyl, O-benzyl, and O-allyl-isoureas were prepared by copper(II)-catalyzed reaction of polymer-supported carbodiimide with the corresponding alcohols. These polymer-supported reagents were successfully employed to convert a series of carboxylic acids to methyl, benzyl, or allyl esters, in good yields. The products were obtained with high purity (>95% by NMR) after a simple resin filtration-solvent evaporation sequence.     

Polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) Suzuki couplings employing an anthracene-tagged palladium catalyst

A general method for polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) Suzuki reactions employing a combination of anthracene-tagged palladium catalyst and anthracene-tagged boronic acid with a polymer-supported carbonate base is reported. The anthracene-tagged catalyst allows for the easy removal of the Pd catalyst along with the dissociated phosphine ligand and phosphine oxide byproducts by sequestration through a chemoselective Diels-Alder reaction with a maleimide resin. The polymer-supported carbonate base facilitates the removal of excess boronic acid and the borane-containing byproducts present at the end of the coupling reaction. The Suzuki coupling reaction can be efficiently conducted by using combinations of the anthracene-tagged Pd catalyst, polymer-supported carbonate base, and anthracene-tagged boronic acid to yield the desired product in high purity and yield without the use of chromatography.     

The crosslinking of epoxy resins at interfaces. I. Germanium,germanium dioxide,and silane-treated germanium

The chemical changes that accompany the crosslinking of an epoxy resin by an anhydride curing agent were followed by internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS). The crosslinking process was carried out on the surface of a germanium IRS element and the effects of various surface treatments of the germanium (humid aging, oxidation, and silane coating) on the reaction kinetics were examined. The reaction kinetics in the first 3000–4000 Å of the resin adjacent to dry, freshly polished germanium were similar to the reaction kinetics in the bulk of the resin. However, humid aging or oxidation of the germanium surface produced a local acceleration in the rate of anhydride consumption and reduced the yield of ester products. The aminosilane coating accelerated the consumption of anhydride, decreased the yield of ester, and resulted in the formation of amide groups in the interfacial region.     

The Hendrickson reagent and the Mitsunobu reaction: a mechanistic study

The alkoxytriphenylphosphonium ion intermediate of the Mitsunobu reaction can be generated using the Hendrickson reagent, triphenylphosphonium anhydride trifluoromethanesulfonate, 1. Strangely, while the reagent 1 can be used in place of the Mitsunobu reagents (triphenylphosphine and a dialkylazodicarboxylate) for the esterification of primary alcohols, secondary alcohols such as menthol undergo elimination. Evidence is presented to show that this unexpected result is due to the presence of trialkylammonium triflate salts. Such salts lead to a dramatic decrease in the rate of esterification relative to competing elimination. The Mitsunobu esterification of menthol with p-nitrobenzoic acid was re-examined and the occurrence of elimination reported for the first time. The presence of traces of tetrabutylammonium triflate led to a dramatic reduction in the yield of inverted ester and a corresponding increase in the yield of anti elimination product 2-menthene. The mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction is discussed in the light of the dramatic salt effect on both the rate and outcome of the reaction and the possible involvement of ion pair clustering. In contrast, use of the reagent 1 resulted in syn elimination to give a 1:2 mixture of 2- and 3-menthenes. Finally, 1 and sodium azide can be used to convert a primary alcohol into an azide in high yield. There was no reaction under Mitsunobu conditions.     

Polymer-supported O-alkylisoureas: useful reagents for the O-alkylation of carboxylic acids

Polymer-supported O-alkylisoureas were prepared by reaction of an alcohol with a polymer-supported carbodiimide under copper(II) catalysis. These reagents were used to transform carboxylic acids into the corresponding methyl, benzyl, allyl, and p-nitrobenzyl esters in a highly chemoselective manner in high yields and in very high purity after simple resin filtration and solvent evaporation. The reactions could be carried out using both conventional or microwave heating, with reaction times as short as 3-5 min in the latter case, without compromising yield, purity, or chemoselectivity. Unfortunately, the corresponding solid-supported tert-butyl isoureas could not be prepared.     

The structure of polymer-supported triphenylphosphine ditriflate: a potentially useful reagent in organic synthesis

The structure of a polymer-supported version of the Hendrickson "POP" reagent, prepared by the reaction of polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxide 1 with triflic anhydride, is established as an equilibrium mixture of polymer-supported triphenylphosphine ditriflate 3 (delta 79.4 ppm) and polymer-supported phosphonium anhydride 4 (delta 73.3 ppm). The (31)P NMR chemical shift reported previously for 3 is shown to be incorrect.     

Polymer-supported gadolinium triflate as a convenient and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for acetylation of alcohols and phenols

This polymeric catalyst was used as an efficient Lewis acid catalyst for the acetylation of various alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride, affording high yields under mild conditions. The reaction was completed in a short period of time with small amounts of the catalyst. The catalyst was reused over 10 times without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.

A highly efficient carboxylate–phosphate anhydride pathway is described for the direct, economical synthesis of esters and amides from carboxylic acids and alcohols or amines. The reaction proceeds with retention of configuration with both chiral secondary alcohols and α-amino acid derivatives allowing access to useful chiral auxiliaries, ligands, and organocatalysts. Ester and amide products can be isolated directly in high yield due to the water soluble nature of the side products.     

N-heterocyclic carbene based ruthenium-catalyzed direct amide synthesis from alcohols and secondary amines: involvement of esters

A well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene based ruthenium complex was developed as a highly active precatalyst for the direct amide synthesis from alcohols and secondary amines. Notably, reaction of 1-hexanol and dibenzylamine afforded 60% of the corresponding amide using our catalytic system, while no amide formation was observed for this reaction with the previously reported catalytic systems. Unlike the previously reported amidation with less sterically hindered alcohols and amines, involvement of ester intermediates was observed.

Synthesis and reactivity profiles of phosphinated poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimers

Poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimers were utilized to synthesize a series of new triphenylphosphine functionalized dendrimers. Zero, first, second and third generation dendrimers, carrying 3, 6, 12 and 24 triphenylphosphine units, were prepared and characterized. The new triphenylphosphine containing dendrimers were assessed for their reactivity profiles and in this instance, the dendrimers were used as reagents to mediate Mitsunobu etherification reaction between phenol and various primary, secondary and benzylic alcohols. In addition, dendritic poly-phenols were also tested in an O-benzylation reaction. A monomeric methoxy group attached triphenylphosphine acted as a control for comparison of reactivity profiles of dendrimers. It was observed that the etherification reaction was mediated efficiently by the dendritic reagent, and in addition, the dendritic phosphine oxide reagents could be recovered quantitatively by precipitation methods. The recovered dendritic phosphine oxides were reduced subsequently to the corresponding phosphines and used as reagents for the Mitsunobu reaction, repetitively.     

Hydrolysis in the absence of bulk water 1. Chemoselective hydrolysis of amides using tetrahalophthalic anhydrides

The reaction of primary and secondary amides with tetrafluorophthalic or tetrachlorophthalic anhydride gives carboxylic acids in good yield. The reaction is chemoselective in that the amide functionality can be hydrolyzed in the presence of ester groups.     

The application of non-cross-linked polystyrene-supported triphenylarsine in Stille coupling reactions

NCPS-AsPh₃ is a soluble polymer-supported triphenylarsine that performed equally well compared to free triphenylarsine as ligands in the Stille cross-coupling reaction of organic electrophiles and organostannanes, with the advantage that it can be conveniently and efficiently separated from the reaction by precipitation, and recycled for further use. The performance of this non-cross-linked polystyrene-supported arsine was found to be generally superior in Stille coupling reactions over the analogous polymer-supported phosphine, paralleling observations on the free ligands. Palladium-catalyzed modification of the polymer-supported arsine was possible through Pd-Ar/As-Ph exchange. Exploiting the ease of isolation of the polymer-supported reagent, the modified arsine is recycled for reuse in the Stille reaction and has led to a reduction in the yield of undesired scrambling products.
