para-Selective chlorination of cresols and m-xylenol using sulfuryl chloride in the presence of poly(alkylene sulfide)s

Chlorination of o-cresol, m-cresol, and m-xylenol using sulfuryl chloride in the presence of a range of poly(alkylene sulfide)s and a Lewis acid (aluminum or ferric chloride) has been studied. The sulfur containing catalysts used led to the production of para-chlorophenols in high yields and higher para/ortho ratios than for reactions in the absence of such poly(alkylene sulfide)s. The effectiveness of the polymers was found to be dependent on the length of the spacer groups between the sulfur atoms. For example, polymers with shorter spacers provided high yields of 4-chloro-o-cresol (ca. 97%), while polymers with at least one longer spacer provided high yields of both 4-chloro-m-cresol (up to 94.6%) and 4-chloro-m-xylenol (up to 97.6%).

Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Highly Practical Ortho-Selective Monohalogenation and Phenylselenation of Phenols: Scope and Applications

An ortho-selective ammonium chloride salt-catalyzed direct C-H monohalogenation of phenols and 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) as the chlorinating agent has been developed. The catalyst loading was low (down to 0.01 mol %) and the reaction conditions were very mild. A wide range of substrates including BINOLs were compatible with this catalytic protocol. Chlorinated BINOLs are useful synthons for the synthesis of a wide range of unsymmetrical 3-aryl BINOLs that are not easily accessible. In addition, the same catalytic system can facilitate the ortho-selective selenylation of phenols.

Comparison of cyclic and polymeric disulfides as catalysts for the regioselective chlorination of phenols

Two cyclic and two polymeric disulfides have been synthesized and established to be useful catalysts for the chlorination of m-xylenol, o-cresol, m-cresol and phenol using freshly distilled sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aluminum or ferric chloride as a co-catalyst at room temperature. The yields of p-isomers and para/ortho ratios were higher compared to cases where no catalyst was used with most catalysts for most phenols even when a very low concentration of disulfide was used.
