Size-Induced Inversion of Selectivity in the Acylation of 1,2-Diols

Relative rates for the Lewis base-catalyzed acylation of aryl-substituted 1,2-diols with anhydrides differing in size have been determined by turnover-limited competition experiments and absolute kinetics measurements. Depending on the structure of the anhydride reagent, the secondary hydroxyl group of the 1,2-diol reacts faster than the primary one. This preference towards the secondary hydroxyl group is boosted in the second acylation step from the monoesters to the diester through size and additional steric effects. In absolute terms the first acylation step is found to be up to 35 times faster than the second one for the primary alcohols due to neighboring group effects.

Alkene Oxyalkylation Enabled by Merging Rhenium Catalysis with Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents via Decarboxylation

Rhenium-catalyzed oxyalkylation of alkenes is described, where hypervalent iodine(III) reagents derived from widely occurring aliphatic carboxylic acids were used as, for the first time, not only an oxygenation source but also an alkylation source via decarboxylation. The reaction also features a wide substrate scope, totally regiospecific difunctionalization, mild reaction conditions, and ready availability of both substrates. Mechanistic studies revealed a decarboxylation/radical-addition/cation-trapping cascade operating in the reaction.
