Catechol mono-ethers are an important class of phenols. They are found in a number of pharmaceuticals, flavoring agents, perfumes, and are used for the preparation of numerous drugs. Herein, we report a mild meta-selective C–H alkylation of these phenols, which is enabled by a cascade of oxidative dearomatization – radical addition – rearomatization process. The method is compatible with reactive functional groups on the parent arenol, such as olefins and halides. Primary, secondary, and teriary alkyl groups can be used, the source of which is most commonly an alkylborane. This process is operationally simple, does not require heating and generally proceeds in good yields.

para-Regioselective bromination of phenol and analogues, promoted by p-toluenesulfonic acid, is achieved in high to excellent yields at room temperature with N-bromosuccinimide. Chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide and catalysed by p-toluenesulfonic acid also gives para-chlorinated phenol analogues in good yields at room temperature. para-Bromination of phenol, promoted by p-toluenesulfonic acid, is achieved in excellent yields at room temperature with N-bromosuccinimide. p-Toluenesulfonic acid is also effective as a promoter of para-chlorination with N-chlorosuccinimide.
Isomer specific syntheses of chlorinated catechols and guaiacols relevant to pulp bleaching
McKague, A. Bruce,Taylor, David R.
, p. 261 - 267 (2007/10/03)
A variety of chlorinated catechols and guaiacols relevant to pulp bleaching were synthesized by employing fundamental differences in the acidities of phenolic hydroxyl groups in chlorinated catechols, and directive effects in guaiacols.
