Zn(OTf)2-Promoted Chemoselective Esterification of Hydroxyl Group Bearing Carboxylic Acids
摘要:
Selective esterification of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with various alcohols is studied using triphenylphosphine, I-2, and a catalytic amount of Zn(OTf)(2). Use of this catalyst allows the formation of esters at a faster rate with good to excellent yield by activating the in situ generated acyloxyphosphonium ion intermediate. During the esterification process, both their aromatic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups are fully preserved from trans-esterification. The results show that the bulkiness and the reactivity of this doubly activated intermediate III control the selectivity and the rate of the reaction, respectively. The method is also useful for direct amidation reactions.
The conversion of ketones to esters has been achieved through the use of Cu catalyst and tetrabutylammonium nitrite. This reaction involves the activation of the less activated C-C bond, and the alkyl group is removed as a leaving group. Various isopropyl ketones are found to be good substrates for this reaction.

A new type of transesterification between aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl N-heteroarene-2-carboxylates and various aldehydes by C–H and C–O bondactivations has been developed for the synthesis of versatile carboxylates. A possible mechanism containing oxidative addition of acyl–O bond in parent ester and radical cleavage of sp2 C–Hbond in aldehyde is proposed.

The three complexes exhibit tetrahedral copper coordination to two iodine atoms and the carbonyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms of a single quinaldate ester molecule, however, complexI shows a chain of alternating copper and iodine atoms whereas II and III crystallize with rhombohedra of alternating copper and iodine atoms. These three solid materials thus display similarity to known complexes of cuprous
