AbstractWe report the first successful allylation of aromatic esters by allyltrimethylsilane. The reaction is mediated by 0.3–1.0 equiv. of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) at room temperature and leads in a multi‐step, one‐pot reaction to quaternary triallylmethane derivatives 5. The most efficient ester possessed two ortho‐methoxy substituents on the phenol ring. Molecular modelling revealed the ability of this compound to form a bidentate titanium complex, thus improving the steric accessibility of the ester carbonyl to nucleophilic attack.magnified image

A CO-gas-free rhodium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl iodide with alcohols has been developed. Alcohols, with/without the aid of an aldehyde, were used as a carbon monoxide and nucleophile source. The former synthesis afforded better yields of the alkoxycarbonylated products. Moreover, phenols also afforded phenoxycarbonylation products with high yields.
