Broadening the catalyst and reaction scope of regio- and chemoselective C-H oxygenation: A convenient and scalable approach to 2-acylphenols by intriguing Rh(ii) and Ru(ii) catalysis

A unique Rh(ii) and Ru(ii) catalyzed C-H oxygenation of aryl ketones and other arenes has been developed for the facile synthesis of diverse functionalized phenols. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, regio- and chemoselectivity, good functional group compatibility and high yields. The practicality of this method has been proved by gram-scale synthesis of a few different 2-acylphenols. Its utility has been well exemplified in further applications in heterocycle synthesis and direct modifications of drug Fenofibrate.

Improvement of Selectivity in the Fries Rearrangement and Direct Acylation Reactions by Means of P2O5/SiO2 Under Microwave Irradiation in Solvent-Free Media

P2O5/SiO2 was found to be an efficient new reagent for the Fries rearrangement of acyloxy benzene or naphthalene derivatives and the direct acylation reactions of phenol and naphthol derivatives with carboxylic acids. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the solid state and are highly selective methods for the preparation of the ortho isomers of hydroxyaryl ketones. Microwave irradiation improved the conversion yield to 85-100 percent and the high ortho-regioselectivity of these reactions provides an efficient and versatile procedure for obtaining o-hydroxyaryl ketones in 47-98 percent yield.
