Polar substituent effect of the ester group on conformational equilibria of O-mono-substituted cyclohexanes-the para-substituent effect in cyclohexyl benzoates
Kleinpeter, Erich,B?lke, Ute,Frank, Andrea
, p. 10014 - 10017 (2008)
Together with the nonsubstituted reference compound, para-methoxy- and para-nitro cyclohexyl benzoates have been synthesized and their conformational equilibria studied by low temperature NMR spectroscopy and theoretical DFT calculations. The free energy differences ΔG° between axial and equatorial conformers were examined with respect to polar substituent influences on the conformational equilibrium of O-mono-substituted cyclohexane.

Li, Yang,Shi, Jiarong,Zhao, Jinlong
supporting information, p. 7274 - 7278 (2021/10/01)
A benzyne-mediated esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols under mild conditions has been realized, which is made possible via a selective nucleophilic addition of carboxylic acid to benzyne in the presence of alcohol. After a subsequent transesterification with alcohol, the corresponding esters can be produced efficiently. This benzyne-mediated protocol can be used on the modification of Ibuprofen, cholesterol, estradiol, and synthesis of nandrolone phenylpropionate. In addition, benzyne can also be used to promote lactonization and amidation reaction.

, p. 491 - 497 (2021/01/20)
A PCl3-mediated conversion of tert-butyl esters into esters and amides in one-pot under air is developed. This novel protocol is highlighted by the synthesis of skeletons of bioactive molecules and gram-scale reactions. Mechanistic studies revealed that this transformation involves the formation of an acid chloride in situ, which is followed by reactions with alcohols or amines to afford the desired products.

An electrolytic method for the direct oxidative coupling of aldehydes with alcohols to produce esters is described. Our method involves anodic oxidation in presence of TBAF as supporting electrolyte in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with graphite electrodes. This method successfully couples a wide range of alcohols to benzaldehydes with yields ranging from 70 to 90%. The protocol is easy to perform at a constant voltage conditions and offers a sustainable alternative over conventional methods.

Trimethylsilyl esters, AcOTMS, BzOTMS, TCAOTMS, etc., are inexpensive and chemically stable reagents that pose a negligible environmental hazard. Such compounds prove to serve as efficient dualpurpose reagents to respectively achieve acylation and trimethylsilylation of alcohols under acidic or basic conditions. Herein, a detailed study on protection of various substrates and new methodological investigations is described.

We report the application of Br?nsted acid-activated N-acyl imidazoliums as versatile intermediates in carbonyl transformations. The efficient and scalable procedure was validated on a diverse set of carbamates, esters, amides, and unsymmetrical ureas (21 examples, up to 91% yield). Additionally, we exemplify this method on multikilogram scale for the synthesis of an electron-deficient carbamate.

, (2020/10/27)
Transesterification is one of the important organic reactions employed in numerous industrial as well as laboratory applications for the synthesis of various esters. Herein, we report a rapid, highly efficient, and transition metal-free transesterification reaction in the presence of LiHMDS under solvent-free conditions. The transesterification reaction was carried out with three different benzoate esters and a wide range of primary and secondary alcohols (from C3-C18) in good to excellent yields (45 examples). By considering the commercial role of esters, this method will be promising for the facile synthesis of esters in industry-relevant applications.

The direct esterification of alcohols with non-noble metal-based catalytic systems faces great challenges. Here, we report a new chrome-based catalyst stabilized by a single pentaerythritol decorated Anderson-type polyoxometalate, [N(C4H9)4]3[CrMo6O18(OH)3C{(OCH2)3CH2OH}], which can realize the efficient transformation from alcohols to esters by H2O2oxidation in good yields and high selectivity without extra organic ligands. A variety of alcohols with different functionalities including some natural products and pharmaceutical intermediates are tolerated in this system. The chrome-based catalyst can be recycled several times and still keep the original configuration and catalytic activity. We also propose a reasonable catalytic mechanism and prove the potential for industrial applications.

Acyl-transfer catalysis is a frequently used tool to promote the formation of carboxylic acid derivatives, which are important synthetic precursors and target compounds in organic synthesis. However, there have been only a few structural motifs known to efficiently catalyze the acyl-transfer reaction. Herein, we introduce a different acyl-transfer catalytic paradigm based on the tropolone framework. We show that tropolonate salts, due to their strong nucleophilicity and photochemical activity, can promote the coupling reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides to give products under thermal or blue light photochemical conditions. Kinetic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest interesting mechanistic insights for reactions promoted by this acyl-transfer catalytic system.

, p. 10740 - 10749 (2020/09/18)
Highly efficient, palladium-catalyzed, para-selective difluoromethylation of arene esters has been developed using [1,1′-biphenyl]-2-dicyclohexylphosphine as the effective ligand. A wide variety of arene esters bearing various functional groups were all compatible with the reaction conditions, leading to para-difluoromethylated products in moderate to good yields. Moreover, benzoylamide and benzenesulfonamide were also well-tolerated, suggesting that this novel catalyst system has broad applications to a variety of substrates.
