Aryl Carbamates: Mechanisms of Orthosodiations and Snieckus-Fries Rearrangements.


ABSTRACT: Aryl carbamates are orthometalated by sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) in tetrahydrofuran. The resulting arylsodiums undergo Snieckus-Fries rearrangement to give orthoacylated phenols in good yield. The intermediate arylsodiums and resulting orthoacylated phenolates are suggested to be monomeric. The rate-limiting step in the two-step sequence depends on the steric demands of the carbamoyl moiety and the substituents in the meta position of the arene. Rate studies reveal a dominant disolvated-monomer-based orthometalation followed by a di- or trisolvated arylsodium monomer-based rearrangement. Kinetic evidence of a NaDA-catalyzed Snieckus-Fries rearrangement suggests the intermediacy of mixed trimers. Competitive halide eliminations to form benzyne are also discussed.
