Iodine-catalyzed oxidative C(sp3)–H acyloxylation of acetone with carboxylic acids has been developed. The method employs iodide as catalyst and sodium chlorite as oxidant. Substituted benzoic acids, naphthoic acids and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids can be used, and 2-oxopropyl carboxylates are obtained with good to excellent yields.
The parallel carbonylation of aryl halides with 6-25 bar of CO in 1-mL vials in a standard autoclave was investigated. 4-Bromoacetophenone and 2-chloropyridine were used as model substrates with 102 different O-nucleophiles (primary and secondary alcohols, phenols). No inertization during the loading was necessary. Fifty esters (43 new, yield up to 60%) were isolated and characterized. Ether, ester, ketone, and sometimes even olefin functions were usually tolerated. The new method is suitable for screening and small scale products synthesis.
