N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Ester Synthesis from Organic Halides through Incorporation of Oxygen Atoms from Air

Oxygenation reactions with molecular oxygen (O2) as the oxygen source provides a green and straightforward strategy for the construction of O-containing compounds. Demonstrated here is a novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed oxidative transformation of simple and readily available organic halides into valuable esters through the incorporation of O-atoms from O2. Mechanistic studies prove that the deoxy Breslow intermediate generated in situ is oxidized to a Breslow intermediate for further transformation by this oxidative protocol. This method broadens the field of NHC catalysis and promotes oxygenation reactions with O2.

Rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of imines and esters from benzyl alcohols and nitroarenes: Change in catalyst reactivity depending on the presence or absence of the phosphine ligand

The [Rh(COD)Cl]2/xantphos/Cs2CO3 system efficiently catalyzes the reductive N-alkylation of aryl nitro compounds with alcohols by a borrowing-hydrogen strategy to afford the corresponding imine products in good to excellent yields. In the absence of xantphos, the [Rh(COD)Cl]2/Cs2CO3 catalytic system behaves as an effective catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols to esters, with nitrobenzene as a hydrogen acceptor. The reactivity of the rhodium catalytic system can be easily manipulated to selectively afford the imine or ester.

Photolytic decomposition of dibenzylic sulfites

The photolytic decay of a library of para-substituted dibenzylic sulfites has been evaluated by UV radiation in a Srinivasan-Griffin-Rayonet photochemical reactor in various deuterated solvents. The decay for each dibenzylic sulfite was examined with respect to Swain and Lupton's field constant, F. The rate of photolytic decay varies depending on the identity of the benzyl substituents. Furthermore, it has been observed that the solvent affects both the rate of sulfite photolytic decay as well as final product distribution.
