A novel and highly efficient esterification process using triphenylphosphine oxide with oxalyl chloride
نویسندگان
چکیده
Triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) and oxalyl chloride ((COCl)2) are used as novel and high-efficiency coupling reagents for the esterification of alcohols with carboxylic acids via the TPPO/(COCl)2 system at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction represents the first TPPO-promoted esterification under mild and neutral conditions with excellent yields. Furthermore, we proposed a plausible mechanism with the help of 31P NMR spectroscopy.

متن کاملRasta resin–triphenylphosphine oxides and their use as recyclable heterogeneous reagent precursors in halogenation reactions
Heterogeneous polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxides based on the rasta resin architecture have been synthesized, and applied as reagent precursors in a wide range of halogenation reactions. The rasta resin-triphenylphosphine oxides were reacted with either oxalyl chloride or oxalyl bromide to form the corresponding halophosphonium salts, and these in turn were reacted with alcohols, aldeh...
متن کاملHighly enantioselective cyanosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion.
The chiral oxazaborolidinium salts 1 and 2 are excellent catalysts for the enantioselective cyanosilylation of a wide variety of aldehydes (see Table 1) using trimethylsilyl (TMS) cyanide and triphenylphosphine oxide as the source of a new reactive cyanide donor. This donor appears to be the isocyanophosphorane Ph3P(OTMS)(N=C:) (4). The novel process described herein has several advantages: pre...
متن کاملZn(OTf)2-promoted chemoselective esterification of hydroxyl group bearing carboxylic acids.
Selective esterification of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with various alcohols is studied using triphenylphosphine, I2, and a catalytic amount of Zn(OTf)2. Use of this catalyst allows the formation of esters at a faster rate with good to excellent yield by activating the in situ generated acyloxyphosphonium ion intermediate. During the esterification process, both their aromatic and ...
متن کاملRemoval of Triphenylphosphine Oxide by Precipitation with Zinc Chloride in Polar Solvents
While the use of triphenylphosphine as a reductant is common in organic synthesis, the resulting triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) waste can be difficult to separate from the reaction product. While a number of strategies to precipitate TPPO are available, none have been reported to work in more polar solvents. We report here that mixing ZnCl2 with TPPO precipitates a TPPO-Zn complex in high yiel...
