Orthoamides, LVI [1]. A new method of wide scope for the preparation of aryl formates

Aryl formates 4a-u, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 are prepared by formylation of hydroxyarenes 3a-u, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 with N,N-diformylacetamide (1) or triformamide (2), respectively, in fairly good yields. The reactions can be catalyzed by sodium diformamide or praseodymium(III) triflate. The thiolformate 28 was obtained analogously from 1-thionaphthol (27).

The Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Selenium Compounds

A series of organoselenium compounds was investigated as activators of hydrogen peroxide in the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation.As a result, a convenient and cheap method for transformation of aromatic aldehydes, having polycondensed ring systems or electron-donating substituents, and polymethoxy derivatives of acetophenone, into phenols was elaborated.This method utilizes hydrogen peroxide activated by areneseleninic acids, as oxidizing agent.
