Inversion of secondary chiral alcohols in toluene with the tunable complex of R3NR′COOH
摘要:
The S(N)2 reaction of enantiomerically pure sulfonates with the tunable complex of R3N-R'COOH in toluene has been extensively studied. It was revealed that the molar ratio of the tertiary amines and carboxylic acids in the complex of R3NR'COOH is crucial for the S(N)2 reaction, and should be tuned for each sulfonate to give the best yield. Fifteen sulfonates 1 and 3-13 (Scheme 2) were prepared and transformed into 22 corresponding inverted esters 2 and 14-24 (Scheme 2) in good to high yields. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The first general palladium catalyst for the phosphorylation of arylmesylates and tosylates is reported. The newly developed system exhibits excellent functional group compatibility. For instance, free amino, keto, ester, and amido groups, as well as heterocycles, remain intact during the course of reaction. The mesylated derivatives of biologically active compounds such as 17β-estradiol and 6-hydroxyflavone

The first general palladium‐catalyzed α‐arylation of arylacetonitriles with aryl and heteroaryl sulfonates are reported. The catalyst system comprising of Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos is highly effective towards this reaction. A wide range of aryl/heteroaryl tosylates and mesylates are coupled with arylacetonitriles smoothly and catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol‐% Pd can be achieved.
