Mechanically induced solvent-free esterification method at room temperature

Herein, we describe two novel strategies for the synthesis of esters, as achieved under high-speed ball-milling (HSBM) conditions at room temperature. In the presence of I2 and KH2PO2, the reactions afford the desired esterification derivatives in 45% to 91% yields within 20 min of grinding. Meanwhile, using KI and P(OEt)3, esterification products can be obtained in 24% to 85% yields after 60 min of grinding. In addition, the I2/KH2PO2 protocol was successfully extended to the late-stage diversification of natural products showing the robustness of this useful approach. Further application of this method in the synthesis of inositol nicotinate was also discussed. This journal is

Ester Formation via Symbiotic Activation Utilizing Trichloroacetimidate Electrophiles

Trichloroacetimidates are useful reagents for the synthesis of esters under mild conditions that do not require an exogenous promoter. These conditions avoid the undesired decomposition of substrates with sensitive functional groups that are often observed with the use of strong Lewis or Br?nsted acids. With heating, these reactions have been extended to benzyl esters without electron-donating groups. These inexpensive and convenient methods should find application in the formation of esters in complex substrates.

Systematic Evaluation of Sulfoxides as Catalysts in Nucleophilic Substitutions of Alcohols

Herein, a method for the nucleophilic substitution (SN) of benzyl alcohols yielding chloro alkanes is introduced that relies on aromatic sulfoxides as Lewis base catalysts (down to 1.5 mol-%) and benzoyl chloride (BzCl) as reagent. A systematic screening of various sulfoxides and other sulfinyl containing Lewis bases afforded (2-methoxyphenyl)methyl sulfoxide as optimal catalyst. In contrast to reported formamide catalysts, sulfoxides also enable the application of plain acetyl chloride (AcCl) as reagent. In addition, it was demonstrated that weakly electrophilic carboxylic acid chlorides like BzCl promote Pummerer rearrangement of sulfoxides already at room temperature. This side-reaction also provided the explanation, why sulfoxide catalyzed SN-reactions of alcohols do not allow the effective production of aliphatic and electron deficient chloro alkanes. Comparison experiments provided further insight into the reaction mechanism.
