Bu 4 NI-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage and Oxidative Esteri??cation of Allyl Alcohols with Toluene Derivatives

A novel oxidative esterification of 1-arylprop-2-en-1-ols with toluene derivatives catalyzed by tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is reported. The optimization of the reaction conditions illustrates that each of experiment parameters including the catalyst, solvent, and oxidant is significant for present oxidative functionalization. This metal-free protocol has a broad substrate scope including the halogen groups for further functionalization and enriches the reactivity profile of allyl alcohol and toluene derivatives. In addition, this protocol represents a new transformation of allyl alcohol involving C-C bond cleavage and C-O bond forming.

Aliphatic C-H Bond Iodination by a N-Iodoamide and Isolation of an Elusive N-Amidyl Radical

Contrary to C-H chlorination and bromination, the direct iodination of alkanes represents a great challenge. We reveal a new N-iodoamide that is capable of a direct and efficient C-H bond iodination of various cyclic and acyclic alkanes providing iodoalkanes in good yields. This is the first use of N-iodoamide for C-H bond iodination. The method also works well for benzylic C-H bonds, thereby constituting the missing version of the Wohl-Ziegler iodination reaction. Mechanistic details were elucidated by DFT computations, and the N-centered radical derived from the used N-iodoamide, which is the key intermediate in this process, was matrix-isolated in a solid argon matrix and characterized by UV-vis as well as IR spectroscopy.

Metal-Free Direct Oxidation of Aldehydes to Esters Using TCCA

Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes are simply converted into esters by an efficient oxidative esterification carried out under mild conditions. The aldehydes are converted in situ into their corresponding acyl chlorides, which are then reacted with primary and secondary aliphatic, benzylic, allylic, and propargylic alcohols and phenols. A variety of esters are obtained in high yields.
