Relative rates for the Lewis base-mediated acylation of secondary and primary alcohols carrying large aromatic side chains with anhydrides differing in size and electronic structure have been measured. While primary alcohols react faster than secondary ones in transformations with monosubstituted benzoic anhydride derivatives, relative reactivities are inverted in reactions with sterically biased 1-naphthyl anhydrides. Further analysis of reaction rates shows that increasing substrate size leads to an actual acceleration of the acylation process, the effect being larger for secondary as compared to primary alcohols. Computational results indicate that acylation rates are guided by noncovalent interactions (NCIs) between the catalyst ring system and the DED substituents in the alcohol and anhydride reactants. Thereby stronger NCIs are formed for secondary alcohols than for primary alcohols.

The formation of acid anhydrides from the phosphorous-mediated activation of carboxylic acids was investigated. Under various systems, activation of benzoic acid in the presence of base led to the formation of benzoic anhydride at different rates depending on the reactivity of the reagents. Using the Ph3P-I2/Et3N combination, most aryl acids were converted into the corresponding anhydrides in high yields within 5-10 min. However, for nitro-substituted derivatives, unexpectedly, N,N-diethylamides were isolated without anhydride formation. These results indicated the pronounced effect of substituents in governing these potential side reactions which can significantly affect the yields of acylation reactions promoted by phosphonium species.

A one-pot simple and concise methodology has been developed for synthesizing aromatic carboxylic anhydrides starting from easily accessible aromatic aldehydes using cuprous chloride as the catalyst and TBHP as the oxidant in DMSO solvent to garner moderate to good yields via radical pathway in short and convenient reaction time at room temperature.
