Coupling reaction between aryl iodides with aliphatic diols was realized with a ligand-free copper catalyst. This method was successfully applied in the process of scale-up synthesis of medicinal candidate product EMB-3.
The hydrogenolysis of 2-aryloxytetrahydrofurans by excess AlH2Cl gave, in excellent yield, only those products expected from exo C—O bond cleavage regardless of the nature of the substituent in the aryl ring. None of the 4-aryloxy-1-butanol, the product expected from ring cleavage, was detected. The reaction was very much faster than the corresponding AlH2Cl hydrogenolysis of 2-alkoxytetrahydrofurans which is known to give only ring cleavage products under similar conditions.Treatment of 2-aryloxytetrahydrofurans or pyrans with AlCl3 in ether, resulted in acid-catalyzed cleavage to the corresponding phenol and dihydrofuran or dihydropyran, the latter immediately forming polymeric products. For those 2-aryloxytetrahydrofurans or pyrans, unsubstituted, or substituted with electron donor groups in the aryl ring, another product was obtained which resulted from electrophilic attack of one protonated dihydrofuran or pyran on the ortho or para position of the phenol. These rearrangement products were also obtained in small amounts as byproducts when 2-aryloxytetrahydrofurans were hydrogenolyzed with insufficient AlH2Cl.
