Molecular Iodine-Catalyzed Selective C-3 Benzylation of Indoles with Benzylic Alcohols: A Greener Approach toward Benzylated Indoles.

ABSTRACT: Iodine-catalyzed selective C-3 benzylation of indoles with benzylic alcohols is developed. The reaction proceeds with molecular iodine as the catalyst under ligand-, metal-, and base-free conditions and tolerates wide functionalities. The experimental observations account for the halogen-bond activation mechanistic pathway for the molecular iodine catalysis.

Palladium-catalyzed C3-benzylation of indoles.

Palladium-Catalyzed Allylation/Benzylation of H-Phosphinate Esters with Alcohols.

Project description:The Pd-catalyzed direct alkylation of H-phosphinic acids and hypophosphorous acid with allylic/benzylic alcohols has been described previously. Here, the extension of this methodology to H-phosphinate esters is presented. The new reaction appears general, although its scope is narrower than with the acids, and its mechanism is likely different. Various alcohols are examined in their reaction with phosphinylidene compounds R¹R²P(O)H.

Visible-Light Photoredox-Catalyzed Amidation of Benzylic Alcohols.

Project description:A new photocatalyzed route to amides from alcohols and amines mediated by visible light is presented. The reaction is carried out in ethyl acetate as a solvent. Ethyl acetate can be defined a green and bio-based solvent. The starting materials such as the energy source are easily available, stable, and inexpensive. The reaction has shown to be general and high yielding.

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation and benzylation of N-alloc and N-Cbz indoles.

Project description:A set of general methods for the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative C3-allylation and C3-benzylation of indoles, starting from the corresponding N-alloc and N-Cbz indoles, respectively, is reported. This chemistry provides ready access to a wide range of functionalized indolenines in good to excellent yields. A tandem process, wherein the palladium catalyzed allylation chemistry is coupled with a Mizoroki-Heck reaction, offers a simple route to cinnamylated products.

Green, Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzylic H-phosphinates from Hypophosphorous Acid and Benzylic Alcohols.

Project description:Benzylic alcohols cross-couple directly with concentrated H(3)PO(2) using Pd/xantphos (1 or 2 mol-%). Depending on the substrate, DMF at 110°C, or t-AmOH at reflux with a Dean-Stark trap, can be used. A broad range of benzylic alcohols reacted successfully in moderate to good yields. The preparation of other organophosphorus compounds (phosphinic and phosphonic acids) is also demonstrated.Asymmetric reaction with (R)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol provided the corresponding H-phosphinic acid in 77% ee. The methodology provides a green, PCl(3)-free, entry into benzylic-H-phosphinic acids.

Selective benzylic C-H monooxygenation mediated by iodine oxides.

Project description:A method for the selective monooxdiation of secondary benzylic C-H bonds is described using an N-oxyl catalyst and a hypervalent iodine species as a terminal oxidant. Combinations of ammonium iodate and catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were shown to be effective in the selective oxidation of n-butylbenzene directly to 1-phenylbutyl acetate in high yield (86%). This method shows moderate substrate tolerance in the oxygenation of substrates containing secondary benzylic C-H bonds, yielding the corresponding benzylic acetates in good to moderate yield. Tertiary benzylic C-H bonds were shown to be unreactive under similar conditions, despite the weaker C-H bond. A preliminary mechanistic analysis suggests that this NHPI-iodate system is functioning by a radical-based mechanism where iodine generated in situ captures formed benzylic radicals. The benzylic iodide intermediate then solvolyzes to yield the product ester.

Iodine-catalyzed prins cyclization of homoallylic alcohols and aldehydes.

Project description:The iodine-catalyzed Prins cyclization of homoallylic alcohols and aldehydes was investigated under metal-free conditions and without additives. Anhydrous conditions and inert atmosphere are not required. The reaction of 2-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)propan-1-ol and 21 aldehydes (aliphatic and aromatic) in CH₂Cl₂ in the presence of 5 mol % of iodine gave 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[f]isochromenes in 54%-86% yield. Under similar conditions, the Prins cyclization of six alcohols containing an endocyclic double bond (primary, secondary, or tertiary) led to dihydropyrans in 52%-91% yield. The acyclic homoallylic alcohols gave 4-iodo-tetrahydropyran in 29%-41% yield in the presence of 50 mol % of iodine. This type of substrate is the main limitation of the methodology. The relative configuration of the products was assigned by NMR and X-ray analysis. The mechanism and the ratio of the products are discussed, based on DFT calculations.

Project description:We report the highly efficient and chemoselective oxidation of benzylic alcohols catalyzed by sodium copper chlorophyllin in water, producing corresponding arylcarbonyl compounds. Importantly, the catalytic system exhibits a wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. Moreover, secondary alcohols and even diarylmethanes were smoothly oxidized to the desired aryl ketones with excellent yields.
