Tetrabutyl ammonium bromide-mediated benzylation of phenols in water under mild condition

Benzylation of phenol was successfully achieved in water under room temperature mediated by tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) for only 2 h affording the corresponding benzyl phenyl ether with good to excellent yields. This protocol is very efficient, simple, avoiding catalysts, easy to work-up after reaction, and especially 'green'.

Samarium(II)-mediated spirocyclization by intramolecular aryl radical addition onto an aromatic ring

(Chemical Equation Presented) Samarium(II)-mediated spirocyclization by intramolecular addition of aryl radicals onto an aromatic ring was achieved by the reaction of N-(2-iodophenyl)-N-alkylbenzamides with SmI2 in the presence of HMPA, yielding spirocyclic indolin-2-one derivatives. The ether congeners afford spirocyclic benzofuran derivatives in moderate yields by aryl radical addition onto a benzene ring without having an electron-withdrawing group. The reaction with other aryl groups such as naphthalene and indole rings is also described.

Substituent Dependence of the ?-Acceptor Induced Bond Cleavage Reactions of Benzyl Phenyl Ethers

The relative C-O bond cleavage reaction rates (krel) of eight substituted benzyl phenyl ethers (BPE's) have been measured.These C-O bond cleavage reactions were thermally initiated by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanoquinone (DDQ).The equilibrium constants (K) for charge-transfer complex formation of these BPE's with the electron acceptors DDQ and TCNE in the solvent methylene chloride have also been determined at room temperature.The best correlation of log krel for DDQ reactions has been observed in these reactions.From this data, hydride transfer to DDQ is the rate-determining step of the reaction.
