COMPETITION BETWEEN NUCLEAR AND SIDE-CHAIN SUBSTITUTION IN THE OXIDATION OF SOME ALKYLAROMATIC COMPOUNDS BY CERIUM(IV) AMMONIUM NITRATE AND COBALT(III) ACETATE

The distribution between nuclear and side-chain substitution (N:S ratio) in the oxidations of m-methoxytoluene, 2-methylnaphtalene, mesitylene, and fluorene by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) and cobalt(III) acetate in acetic acid has been determined.The two oxidants exhibit remarkably different behaviours, the propensity for nuclear substitution being much stronger with CAN than with Co(OAc)3.For example, with m-methoxytoluene, CAN affords only products of nuclear acetoxylation, whereas Co(OAc)3 gives side-chain acetoxylation exclusively.The N:S ratio and the isomeric distribution for the CAN-induced reactions are consistent with a mechanism involving a common radical cation intermediate for the side-chain and nuclear substitution.The same mechanism might hold in the reactions with Co(OAc)3; however, in this case, the simultaneous operation of two different mechanisms is an additional possibility: a radical cation mechanism for the nuclear substitution and a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism for the side-chain reaction.
