work as organocatalysts for Mitsunobureactions because they provide ethyl 2-arylazocarboxylates through aerobic oxidation with a catalytic amount of iron phthalocyanine. First, ethyl 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)hydrazinecarboxylate has been identified as a potent catalyst, and the reactivity of the catalyticMitsunobureaction was improved through strict optimization of the reaction conditions. Investigation
The first cobalt-catalyzed amide activation of N-Boc-amides, and their conversion into esters, is reported here. This new methodology presents a very practical process that does not require an inert atmosphere, uses an inexpensive cobalt catalyst, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This catalytic system has a broad substrate scope and has been shown to be highly efficient, with catalyst loadings
Reaction of carboxylicacids with alcohols by using an equimolar amount of di-2-thienyl carbonate (2-DTC) in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) followed by addition of an equimolar amount of iodine proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding esters and 2(5H)-thiophenone in good to high yields.
di-2-thienyl carbonate (2-DTC) in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding esters in good-to-high yields along with 2(5H)-thiophenone. This esterification was accelerated by the addition of an equimolar amount of iodine to afford the esters in higher yields within a shorter reaction time. Further, cyclization of ω-hydroxycarboxylic
In the presence of a catalytic amount of Lewis acid, various carboxylic esters or S-phenyl carbothioates are prepared in excellent yields by the respective reactions of equimolar amounts of silyl carboxylates and alkyl silyl ethers or phenyl silyl sulfides with 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic anhydride.
