Esters arylation derivatives

Trialkylboranes react rapidly and in high yields with a-halo ketones,a-halo esters, a-halo nitriles, and a-halo sulfonyl derivatives (sulfones, sulfonic esters, sulfonamides) in the presence of a base to give, respectively, alkylated ketones, esters, nitriles, and sulfonyl derivatives. Potassium tert-butoxide is often a suitable base, but potassium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide at 0°C in THF gives better results in most cases, possibly because the large bulk of the two tert-buXy groups prevents the base from coordinating with the R3B. The trialkylboranes are prepared by treatment of 3 mol of an alkene with 1 mol of BH3 (15-16). With appropriate boranes, the R group transferred to a-halo ketones, nitriles, and esters can be vinylic, or (for a-halo ketones and esters) aryl. " °... 

The first commercial trialkyl phosphate esters (TAP) were tricresyl phosphate (TCP) and trixylenyl phosphate (TXP), referred to as "natural" phosphate esters because the cresols and xylenols used as raw materials are derived from petroleum oil or coal tar (Marino and Placek 1994). These products are not commercially significant at present however, at waste disposal sites, contaminants from older product formulations may be encountered, particularly those containing the neurotoxic tri-o/T/io-cresyl phosphate isomer. "Synthetic" phosphate esters are derived from synthetic feedstocks. Specific synthetic reactions have been developed to produce triaryl, trialkyl, and alkyl Aryl esters. The triaryl phosphates are currently... 

A series of esters of nuclear halogenated 3-carboxy-1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3//)-ones show depressant activity, while the benzoate esters of substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-l,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3f0-one are reported to function as coronary dUating agents," as do certain other compounds of this type." 3-(o-Haloaryl)-l,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3i/> ones are claimed to have antisecretory," anoretic, anticonvulsant, and hypoglycemic activity, and a variety of other 3-aryl derivatives are stated to be relaxants, tranquilizers, sedatives, hypnotics, or cramp inhibitors. A number of derivatives of 10, R = H, in which the 3-substituent is a long alkyl chain containing a terminal sulfonamide group have been claimed to act. as antidiabetics. ... 

Other nucleophiles than amines which have been employed in the reaction are malononitrile and cyanoacetic ester anions. Both of these anions undergo a preliminary reaction with the aryl halide to form the C-aryl derivatives before they attack the ir-allylpalladium intermediate, so that diarylated products are formed (equation 31).86 Phenylmalononitrile anion reacts with iodobenzene and butadiene to give the same product in 70% yield. 

Many of the iV-alkyl and iV-aryl derivatives of urazine have been synthesized and characterized, but the parent substance is not well known. In the past, urazine has been prepared by thermal deammonation of carbohydrazide-iV-carboxamide [eq. (I)],1 fusion of hydrazidicarbamide with hydrazinium hydrogen sulfate [eq. (2)],2 fusion of earbohy-drazide with urea [eq. (3)],3 action of sodium hypobromite on semicarbazide [eq. (4)],4 reaction of dichlorourea with concentrated ammonia [eq. (5)],5 and the reaction between 1,2 hydrazine carboxylic ester and hydrazine hydrate... 

Nucleophilic attack of ammonia or of a primary or secondary amine on an O-alkyl thiocarboxylate (2) provides a formally straightforward approach to thioamides and a number of examples have been reported (equation l). - However, some limitations should be noted. Thus, there is a tendency of esters (2) to rearrange to their 5-alkyl isomers on heating (cf. Volume 6, Chapter 2.5) and these yield amides with amines rather than thioamides. Besides, excess primary amine will lead to amidine formation, or the tetrahedral intermediate of the substitution reaction may break down to an imidate rather than a thioamide (cf. Volume 6, Chapter 2.7). These unwanted side reactions are favoured in polar, protic solvents such as ethanol. In contrast, THF has proven to be particularly useful in the synthesis of tertiary thioamides according to equation (1). For improved reactivity in the preparation of V-aryl derivatives and milder reaction conditions, it is advantageous to employ the amine in the form of its Mg salt. ... 

The efficient synthesis of a potent topoisomerase I poison terbenzimidazole was developed in the laboratory of P.J. Smith. The desired aryl-aryl bonds were created via iterative Suzuki-cross couplings. The arylboronic ester was derived from 1-benzyl-5-iodo-1/-/-benzimidazole using the Miyaura boration. 

Other stabilized anions that were successfully C-arylated include the anions of nitroalkanes, a-methyl-a-nitrocarboxylic acid derivatives, esters, triphenylmethane, indole and scatole. Nitroalkanes gave high yields of the a-C-aryl derivatives. Ita the presence of BTMG, 2-nitropropane reacts with triphenylbismuth dichloride or tetraphenylbismuthonium p-toluenesulfonate to lead to a-nitrocumene (86 or 77% respectively). The reaction using triphenylbismuth dichloride and TMG was applied to the synthesis of a-methyl-a-phenylglycine via arylation of a-nitropropionic acid esters. ...
