We developed an approach for direct selective hydroxylation of heterobenzylic methylenes to secondary alcohols avoiding overoxidation to ketones by using a KOBu-t/DMSO/air system. Most reactions could reach completion in several minutes to give hydroxylated products in 41-76% yields. Using DMSO-d6, this protocol resulted in difunctionalization of heterobenzylic methylenes to afford α-deuterated secondary alcohols (>93% incorporation). By employing this method, active pharmaceutical ingredients carbinoxamine and doxylamine were synthesized in two steps in moderate yields.

A simple and convenient protocol for deoxygenation of aliphatic and aromatic N-oxides to the corresponding amines in good to excellent yield using sodium borohydride-Raney nickel in water is reported. Other functional moieties such as alkenes, halides, ethers, and amides are unaffected under the present reaction condition.

(Chemical Equation Presented) An anionic rearrangement of 2-benzyloxypyridine is described. Pyridine-directed metalation of the benzylic carbon leads to 1,2-migration of pyridine via a postulated associative mechanism (addition/elimination). Several aryl pyridyl carbinols were obtained in high yields. A formal synthesis of carbinoxamine, an antihistamine drug used for the treatment of seasonal allergies and hay fever, emerges from this methodology.
