Light-Promoted Nickel Catalysis: Etherification of Aryl Electrophiles with Alcohols Catalyzed by a NiII-Aryl Complex

A highly effective C?O coupling reaction of (hetero)aryl electrophiles with primary and secondary alcohols is reported. Catalyzed by a NiII-aryl complex under long-wave UV (390–395 nm) irradiation in the presence of a soluble amine base without any additional photosensitizer, the reaction enables the etherification of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides as well as sulfonates with a wide range of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols, affording synthetically important ethers. Intramolecular C?O coupling is also possible. The reaction appears to proceed via a NiI–NiIII catalytic cycle.

Use of diethoxymethane as a solvent for phase transfer-catalyzed O -alkylation of phenols

The effectiveness of diethoxymethane (DEM) as a solvent for O-alkylation of a variety of phenols under phase transfer conditions has been examined and evaluated. The reaction between 4-methoxy phenol and benzyl chloride was selected to compare reaction rates in various solvents and the efficiency of various PTCs. This reaction was further studied to develop a commercially amenable process complete with recycle streams and efficient product isolation. DEM is a good solvent for these types of phase transfer-catalyzed reactions and can be considered as an alternative solvent for dichloromethane and toluene.

Hydrocarbons and chloroaromatics from anilines and n-butyl nitrite

A single reagent, i.e. n-butyl nitrite, can be used to oxidize an aromatic amine, or the corresponding N-methylene derivative, to a diazo compound followed by its subsequent reduction to hydrocarbon in a single batch.Alternatively, a chloro derivative can be obtained if carbon tetrachloride is used as the solvent.The reactions appear to be general and complete product identification was accomplished.
