Styryl ether formation from benzyl alcohols under transition-metal-free basic DMSO conditions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A phenol-catalyzed aerobic oxidative styryl ether formation method was developed with benzyl alcohol under basic DMSO. Styryl ether was obtained after 12 hours of heating at 60-80 °C where DMSO was involved in the reaction as the extra carbon source. Control experiments indicated that both phenol and DMSO are crucial for the success of the reaction. A variety of styryl ethers were prepared smoothly from benzyl alcohols in good to excellent yields in an environmentally friendly way.

Dehydrative reactions can be used for a wide variety of transformations including etherifications, esterifications and thioetherifications. Generally, this route is more environmentally friendly than classical methods (Williamson and Ullmann) as the only byproduct is water, whereas the use of strongly basic alkoxides or phenoxides with alkyl or aryl halides in the Williamson method produces con...
متن کاملTreatment of alcohols with tosyl chloride does not always lead to the formation of tosylates.
Treatment of substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride resulted in the formation of the corresponding chlorides, not the usual tosylates. A series of experiments demonstrated that it was possible to predict whether chlorination or tosylation would occur for substituted benzyl alcohols and pyridine methanols. Treatment of electron withdrawing group-substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl ch...

An efficient method for the synthesis of 1,3,5-triazines by NIS-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alcohols with amidines has been developed. The reaction works smoothly under transition-metal free and phosphine-free conditions to afford a wide range of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives in moderate to good yields. The synthetic methodology was achieved via in situ oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes.

Carbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is ...
