Aryl oxidative rearrangement

The thermodynamic stabilities of phenonium ions have been determined based on bromide-transfer equilibria in the gas phase and, depending on the substituents, the bridged species (1) has been proposed as an intermediate or transition state on the potential-energy surface for the 1,2-aryl rearrangement of triarylvinyl cations (see Scheme 1). Phenonium ion (3) has been presented as an intermediate to account for the fact that lactonization of methyl 4-aryl-5-tosyloxy hexanoate (2) produces y-lactone (4) selectively under thermodynamic conditions, but affords 5-lactone (5) preferentially under kinetic conditions. It has been shown that anodic oxidation of frany-stilbene in alcohols in the presence of KF or BU4NBF4 is accompanied by its electro-oxidative rearrangement into diphenylacetaldehyde acetals. The mechanism outlined in Scheme 2 has been proposed" for the transformation. 

Quinone synthesis. Two laboratories12 have found that the adducts formed by addition of an aryl-, alkynyl-, or heteroaryllithium to a cyclobutenedione rearrange when heated (138-160°) to hydroquinones, which are usually isolated as the quinone after air or chemical oxidation. The rearrangement involves an interme-... 

The ortho-isomer is formed predominantly. However, the para-sulfate is formed in small amounts with certain anilines. The intermediate A formed first in the Boyland-Sims oxidation on rearrangement gives both the ortho- and para-amino aryl sulfates B and C (Scheme 7.31). ... 

An oxidative /pio-rearrangement mediated by a hypervalent iodine reagent that enables rapid generation of a functionalized dienone system 266 containing a quaternary carbon center has been developed (Scheme 3.110) [330]. The process occurs through transfer of an aryl group from a silyl segment present on the lateral chain of the phenol derivative 265. This transformation has been utilized in a total synthesis of an alkaloid sceletenone [330],... 

Sulfation by sulfamic acid has been used ia the preparation of detergents from dodecyl, oleyl, and other higher alcohols. It is also used ia sulfating phenols and phenol—ethylene oxide condensation products. Secondary alcohols react ia the presence of an amide catalyst, eg, acetamide or urea (24). Pyridine has also been used. Tertiary alcohols do not react. Reactions with phenols yield phenyl ammonium sulfates. These reactions iaclude those of naphthols, cresol, anisole, anethole, pyrocatechol, and hydroquinone. Ammonium aryl sulfates are formed as iatermediates and sulfonates are formed by subsequent rearrangement (25,26).

The Pummerer reaction346 of conformationally rigid 4-aryl-substituted thiane oxides with acetic anhydride was either stereoselective or stereospecific, and the rearrangement is mainly intermolecular, while the rate-determining step appears to be the E2 1,2-elimination of acetic acid from the acetoxysulfonium intermediates formed in the initial acetylation of the sulfoxide. The thermodynamically controlled product is the axial acetoxy isomer, while the kinetically controlled product is the equatorial isomer that is preferentially formed due to the facile access of the acetate to the equatorial position347. The overall mechanism is illustrated in equation 129. 

In 1950, Cope and coworkers48 unsuccessfully attempted to use the well-known Meisenheimer rearrangement of N-allylamine oxides to 0-allylhydroxylamines49 in performing the formally analogous rearrangements of allyl aryl sulfoxides to allyl arenesulfenates and of allyl aryl sulfones to allyl arenesulfinates (equations 11-13).
