For the first time, using PCl3, a range of tert-butyl esters is chlorinated successfully, allowing access of both aromatic acid chlorides and aliphatic acid chlorides in good yields. The method features simple reaction conditions and wide substrate scope. Various tert-butyl esters including aryl esters, alkenyl esters, and alkyl esters were tolerated well in the reaction. A plausible mechanism is proposed.

Owing to the attractiveness of organic phosphonic acids and esters in the pharmacological field and in the functionalization of conductive metal-oxides, the research of effective synthetic protocols is pivotal. Among the others, ω-bromoalkylphosphonates are gaining particular attention because they are useful building blocks for the tailored functionalization of complex organic molecules. Hence, in this work, the optimization of Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction conditions for ω-bromoalkylphosphonates has been performed, to improve process sustainability while maintaining good yields. Synthesized ω-bromoalkylphosphonates have been successfully adopted for the synthesis of new KuQuinone phosphonate esters and, by hydrolysis, phosphonic acid KuQuinone derivatives have been obtained for the first time. Considering the high affinity with metal-oxides, KuQuinones bearing phosphonic acid terminal groups are promising candidates for biomedical and photo(electro)chemical applications.

A PCl3-mediated conversion of tert-butyl esters into esters and amides in one-pot under air is developed. This novel protocol is highlighted by the synthesis of skeletons of bioactive molecules and gram-scale reactions. Mechanistic studies revealed that this transformation involves the formation of an acid chloride in situ, which is followed by reactions with alcohols or amines to afford the desired products.

The two tert-butyl groups of anti-6,15-di-tert-butyl-9,18-dimethoxy[3.3]metacyclophane (anti-4) are both ipso-nitrated even under mild reaction conditions such as copper(II) nitrate in an acetic anhydride solution because of the decreased deactivation of the second aromatic ring by the introduced nitro group. On the other hand, anti-5,13-di-tert-butyl-8,16-dimethoxy[2.2]metacyclophane (anti-1) undergoes replacement of only one tert-butyl group under the same reaction conditions. The higher yields of the twofold ipso-nitration product anti-7 were obtained in nitration of anti-4 with fuming nitric acid or mixed acid (HNO3–H2SO4). Thus, the number of ipso-nitrations at the tert-butyl groups of anti-4 was strongly affected by the reactivity of the nitration reagent. Nitration of the corresponding syn-conformer syn-4 with copper(II) nitrate in an acetic anhydride solution, however, led only to the recovery of the starting compound. The presently developed procedure was further applied to the direct removal of the tert-butyl group by electrophilic substitution of the larger-sized ring macrocyclic metacyclophanes, cone- and partial-cone-tri-tert-butyl[3.3.3]metacyclophanes 11.Key words: [3n]metacyclophanes, conformation, ipso-nitration, through-space electronic interaction, crystal structure.

AbstractStarting from methyl cycloheptatrienyl-1-carboxylate, 6-acylation was successfully achieved employing glutaryl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 under controlled reaction conditions to furnish keto carboxylic acid product. After protection of this keto carboxylic acid as tert-butyl ester, reagent-controlled enantioselective reductions delivered configuration-defined methyl-6-hydroxylalkyl cycloheptatriene-1-carboxylates with up to 80% ee. Whereas simple NaBH4 reduction of the keto carboxylic acid and subsequent lactonization afforded a methyl-6-tetrahydropyranonyl cycloheptatriene-1-carboxylate. Resolution using chiral HPLC delivered the product enantiomers with up to >99% ee Finally, ECD analyses enabled structure elucidation. The products are used as key intermediates in enantioselective 6,11-methylene-lipoxin B4 syntheses.

AbstractThe regio- and stereoselective dearomatization of indoles is realized for the first time by combining readily available indolyl precursors and electron-rich allenes, namely allenamides and aryloxyallenes. Inter- as well as intramolecular condensations were realized under gold and Brønsted acid catalysis providing a range of densely functionalized indoline and indolenine cores in high yields and excellent stereochemical outcome. Chemodivergent reaction profiles (Micheal-type addition vs. [2+2]-cycloaddition) were realized by a tailored design of both reaction conditions and functionalization of the reaction partners.

In this study, the synthesis of a telechelic linker bearing both azide and thiol functional groups was described. The reaction conditions were investigated to optimize the reaction yield. The product was analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The employment of the obtained azide–thiol linker in heterogeneous polymer “click” functionalization was demonstrated for the first time, which was monitored by an online FT–IR method. The obtained telechelic azide–thiol linker is envisioned to be useful chemical tools to link macromolecular chains via orthogonal click reactions.
