During the development of a palladiumcatalyzed C–H activation cross-coupling reaction involving acyl halides, it was noted that palladium(II) acetate catalyzes the acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (used as a solvent) at room temperature to afford the corresponding 4-chlorobutyl ester derivative. After optimization, the reaction was shown to work well with epoxides, oxetane and tetrahydrofuran
A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of functionalized esters and thioesters is reported from cyclic ethers/thioethers and carboxylic acids via acyloxyphosphonium salts as key intermediates. The reaction of styrene oxide with acyloxyphosphonium salts gave complete regioselectivity and good yields of the resulting functionalized ester, whereas cyclohexene oxide gave moderate yields.
