An efficient approach to salicylates via a novel transformation of anionically activated aromatic trifluoromethyl group is described. Anionically activated trifluoromethyl group can react with phenols/alcohols under alkaline conditions to afford aryl/alkyl salicylates in high yields. Mechanism studies indicate that the carbonyl oxygen atom of ester is from the H2O in the solvent.

The N-heterocyclic carbene/photo-cocatalyzed oxidative Smiles rearrangement of O-aryl salicylaldehydes was developed. Both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryls worked well as migrating groups, giving the corresponding aryl salicylates in good yields. This reaction features formation of two new C-O bonds and one C-O bond cleavage via metal-free oxidation of the Breslow intermediate using oxygen as the terminal oxidant and following the Smiles rearrangement under photocatalysis.

We have developed a highly efficient aryl migration from an aryl ether to a carboxylic acid group through retro-Smiles rearrangement by visible-light photoredox catalysis at ambient temperature. Transition metals and a stoichiometric oxidant and base are avoided in the transformation. Inspired by the high efficiency of this transformation and the fundamental importance of C?O bond cleavage, we developed a novel approach to the C?O cleavage of a biaryl ether to form two phenolic compounds, as demonstrated by a one-pot, two-step gram-scale reaction under mild conditions. The aryl migration exhibits broad scope and can be applied to the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, such as guacetisal. Primary mechanistic studies indicate that the catalytic cycle occurs by a reductive quenching pathway.
