4-Dimethylaminopyridine-Catalyzed Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidation of Aryl ?-Halo Esters to Aryl ?-Keto Esters.


ABSTRACT: A novel, metal-free aerobic oxidation method is described. 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) successfully catalyzed the oxidation of aryl ?-halo esters to corresponding aryl ?-keto esters (up to 95% yield) under mild reaction conditions (Li2CO3, dimethylacetamide, air, and room temperature). A mechanism has been proposed where the oxidation proceeds through a [3 + 2] cycloaddition between O2 in an air atmosphere and pyridinium ylides. The ylides are supposedly generated from aryl ?-halo esters and DMAP in the presence of carbonates. Based on the plausible mechanism, the potential of DMAP as a catalyst in oxidation reactions was extended.
