Method for hydrogenolysis of halides

The invention discloses a method for hydrogenolysis of halides. The invention discloses a preparation method of a compound represented by a formula I. The preparation method comprises the following step: in a polar aprotic solvent, zinc, H2O and a compound represented by a formula II are subjected to a reaction as shown in the specification, wherein X is halogen; Y is -CHRR or R; hydrogenin H2O exists in the form of natural abundance or non-natural abundance. According to the preparation method, halide hydrogenolysis can be simply, conveniently and efficiently achieved through a simple and mild reaction system, and good functional group compatibility and substrate universality are achieved.

Silver-catalyzed decarboxylative chlorination of aliphatic carboxylic acids

Decarboxylative halogenation of carboxylic acids, the Hunsdiecker reaction, is one of the fundamental functional group transformations in organic chemistry. As the initial method requires the preparations of strictly anhydrous silver carboxylates, several modifications have been developed to simplify the procedures. However, these methods suffer from the use of highly toxic reagents, harsh reaction conditions, or limited scope of application. In addition, none is catalytic for aliphatic carboxylic acids. In this Article, we report the first catalytic Hunsdiecker reaction of aliphatic carboxylic acids. Thus, with the catalysis of Ag(Phen)2OTf, the reactions of carboxylic acids with t-butyl hypochlorite afforded the corresponding chlorodecarboxylation products in high yields under mild conditions. This method is not only efficient and general, but also chemoselective. Moreover, it exhibits remarkable functional group compatibility, making it of more practical value in organic synthesis. The mechanism of single electron transfer followed by chlorine atom transfer is proposed for the catalytic chlorodecarboxylation.
