Triethyloxonium Tetrafluoroborate/1,2-Dimethoxyethane – a Versatile Substitute for Trimethyloxonium Tetrafluoroborate in O-Methylation Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate/1,2-dimethoxyethane (TEO/DME) mixture is a versatile and cheap substitute for trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in O-methylations of pyrrolin-2-ones, quinolones, acridones, and 1-oxo-β -carbolines. Undesired O-ethylation can be avoided by preincubation of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate and 1,2-dimethoxyethane for 1 h, prior to addition of the substrate. In the course of these investigations it was found that the structures assigned to the alkaloids taraxacine A and B are erroneous.

Efficacious N-protection of O-aryl sulfamates with 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl groups.
Sulfamates are important functional groups in certain areas of current medicinal chemistry and drug development. Alcohols and phenols are generally converted into the corresponding primary sulfamates (ROSO(2)NH(2) and ArOSO(2)NH(2), respectively) by reaction with sulfamoyl chloride (H(2)NSO(2)Cl). The lability of the O-sulfamate group, especially to basic conditions, usually restricts this meth...

An efficient K3PO4-mediated synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl ethers using the ionic liquid [Bmim]BF4 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) as solvent has been developed. The procedure involves consecutive deprotection of aryl methane-sulfonates and a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S(N)Ar) with activated aryl halides.

Esterification of naturally occurring hemins and porphyrins is often a prerequisite for structural studies of these compounds. Porphyrins and hemins are in general more easily purified as their esters than as the free carboxylic acids. In addition, esterification is the most feasible procedure for preparing derivatives of tetrapyrroles for studies by mass spectrometry. The most convenient and f...
