Reactions with thallium acetate

Vicinal iodo carboxylates may also be prepared from the reaction of olefins either with iodine and potassium iodate in acetic acid/ or with N-iodosuccinimide and a carboxylic acid in chloroform. " A number of new procedures for effecting the hydroxylation or acyloxylation of olefins in a manner similar to the Prevost or Woodward-Prevost reactions include the following iodo acetoxylation with iodine and potassium chlorate in acetic acid followed by acetolysis with potassium acetate reaction with iV-bromoacetamide and silver acetate in acetic acid reaction with thallium(III) acetate in acetic acid and reaction with iodine tris(trifluoroacetate) in pentane. ... 

Isobutylene oxide is produced in a way similar to propylene oxide and butylene oxide by a chlorohydrination route followed by reaction with Ca(OH)2. Direct catalytic liquid-phase oxidation using stoichiometric amounts of thallium acetate catalyst in aqueous acetic acid solution has been reported. An isobutylene oxide yield of 82% could be obtained. 

Significant amounts of the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane adduct and of the octahydropental-enes were isolated also from the reaction of 3 with preformed iodine acetate and iodine acetate thallium (equation 75)94 whereas only the monocyclic 1,2-adducts were obtained from treatment of 3 with iodine azide, iodine isocyanate or iodine nitrate95. The different propensity to give transannular products with these latter reagents has been related to the different positive charge density on carbons in the corresponding iodonium ion intermediates. 

Lithiation and mercuration are directed by the oxygen atom and occur at the 4-position, but thallation, achieved by treatment of dibenzofuran with thallium(III) isobutyrate at 110°C, affords the 2-thallium di(isobutyrate), which may be converted to the 2-iodo compound by reaction with iodine. Mercuration is achieved by treatment of dibenzofuran with mercuryfll) acetate at 150°C, and the resultant 4-mercuric acetate (56%) may also be converted to the iodo compound. ... 

Access to the 1,3-benzazepinone 39 has been achieved from aryl iodide 38 with a Pd(0) catalyst, followed by cyclization of the intermediate palladium complex upon reaction with thallium acetate, thus providing a convenient approach to the fused seven-membered ring system (Equation 5) <1998ICA(270)123>. 

Pans-2-Iodocyclohexyl acetate can be isolated in essentially quantitative yield from the reaction of thallium(I) acetate, iodine, and cyclohexene in a 1 1 1 molar ratio in refluxing chloroform. lodo acetates from a representative series of alkenes including cyclohexene have been similarly prepared in 80-98% yield in glacial acetic acid which was not dried as described in this procedure. The corresponding iodo benzoates are obtained in comparable yields from reaction with thallium(I) benzoate and iodine in benzene. The deactivated olefin methyl cinnamate did not react under these conditions, and o-allylphenol underwent ring iodination to... 

Cyclopropane bonds are susceptible to oxidative cleavage (see Section 2.1.1.2.). Most of the oxidation reactions of activated cyclopropanes involve phenyl-substituted derivatives. When phenylcyclopropane was treated with lead(IV) acetate, 1,3-diacetoxy-l-phenylpropane (63%) and the elimination product cinnamyl acetate (32%) were obtained. The occurrence of traces of l,3-diacetoxy-2-phenylpropane could not be confirmed in later studies. The kinetics of the oxidation of various arylcyclopropanes with lead(IV) acetate, thallium(III) acetate and mercury(II) acetate have been studied. 4-Methoxyphenyl, 4-tolyl, and 4-chlorophenyl derivatives and their meta analogs were treated with these reagents and the rates of reaction and product distributions analyzed. Using lead(IV) acetate, diacetates 1 and cinnamyl acetates 2 were obtained in ratios of about 4 1, whereas thalhum(III) acetate gave the diacetates almost exclusively (see following table). ... 

Regioselective carboxylation of thiophene by Pd-mediated reaction with CO in the presence of mercuric chloride, mercuric acetate or thallium(III) acetate has been reported <90JMOC23>. It is preferable to carry out the reaction in two steps— iiiitial mercuration, followed by reacting the thienylmercury derivative with CO in the presence of palladium acetate. 

Reaction with 1-alkynes. Terminal acetylenes react with thallium(III) acetate (2 equiv.) in CHCI3 or HOAc at 0-20° to form the adduct (1) in high yield. When the adduct is heated with an equivalent of Tl(OAc)a, the methyl...
