An efficient 1,2-fluorine migration reaction was realized under Brønsted acid catalysis in the absence of an external fluorinating source. The high fluorine atom economy and very mild conditions make this reaction a promising protocol for the construction of the C–F bond.

An efficient domino 1,6-addition/intramolecular cyclization reaction between para-quinone methides (p-QMs) and azlactones under Brønsted acid catalysis was established. A series of highly functionalized dihydrocoumarins were constructed in good to excellent yields (up to 96%) with excellent diastereoselectivities (all >20:1 d.r.). In this process, the Brønsted acid plays a crucial role not only in activating the two substrates, but also in controlling the diastereoselectivity of the reaction via hydrogen-bonding interactions. In addition, this protocol demonstrates the great practicability of utilizing p-QMs in domino reactions.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of chromene derivatives from vinyl o-quinone methides was established via a Brønsted acid catalyzed electrocyclization. By using this methodology, a series of structurally diversified chromenes was synthesized in a highly atom-economic and environmentally benign manner with generally good to excellent yields (up to 98% yield). This reaction will not only provide an efficient method for the construction of chromene scaffolds, but also enrich the research area of o-quinone methides.

The Pd - tppts - HOTs (tppts = P(C6H4-m-SO3Na)3, HOTs = p-toluenesulfonic acid) catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of N-allylacetamide in an aqueous medium afforded 4-acetamidobutyric acid and 3-acetamido-2-methylpropanoic acid under mild conditions, with a high regioselectivity towards the linear isomer. During the hydrocarboxylation an acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the amide moieties of both the substrate and the products took place, as well as the formation of acetamide and propanal, presumably via a Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction of N-allylacetamide. The hydrolysis reaction was suppressed by lowering the amount of Brønsted acid cocatalyst (HOTs) or by employing a weaker Brønsted acid such as propanoic acid. The allylic substitution reaction was minimized by increasing the CO pressure but unfortunately this caused a decrease in the regioselectivity. A sudden inhibition took place after ca. 70% conversion, presumably caused by one of the side products. By increasing the tppts concentration to 13.1 mmol L-1 (20 equiv per Pd) the inhibition was circumvented and a quantitative conversion of N-allylacetamide was achieved.Key words: aqueous media, olefins, palladium, hydrocarboxylation, N-allylacetamide.
