A modified Merrifield polymer containing acid chloride groups was used in the selective synthesis of the monotrityl ethers of the symmetrical diols, HO—(CH2)n—OH, where n = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. This procedure constitutes a unique method of blocking one functional group of a completely symmetrical difunctional compound.

An insoluble polymer support system was used as a unique method of blocking one functional group of a completely symmetrical difunctional compound. The monotetrahydropyranyl and monotrityl ethers of the symmetrical diols, HO—(CH2)n—OH, where n = 2,4,6,8, and 10, were prepared. Reaction conditions for the preparation of the monotetrahydropyranyl ether of 1,10-decanediol were optimized.

Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

The field of catalytic C-H borylation has grown considerably since its founding, providing a means for the preparation of synthetically versatile organoborane products. While sp2 C-H borylation methods have found widespread and practical use in organic synthesis, the analogous sp3 C-H borylation reaction remains challenging and has seen limited application. Existing catalysts are often hindered by incomplete consumption of the diboron reagent, poor functional group tolerance, harsh reaction conditions, and the need for excess or neat substrate. These challenges acutely affect C-H borylation chemistry of unactivated hydrocarbon substrates, which has lagged in comparison to methods for the C-H borylation of activated compounds. Herein we discuss recent advances in sp3 C-H borylation of undirected substrates in the context of two particular challenges: (1) utilization of the diboron reagent and (2) the need for excess or neat substrate. Our recent work on the application of dipyridylarylmethane ligands in sp3 C-H borylation has allowed us to make contributions in this space and has presented an additional ligand scaffold to supplement traditional phenanthroline ligands.

Bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br) is a simple, inexpensive and abundant industrial material employed as a trifluoromethylating reagent. However, only limited strategies using CF3Br as a fluorine source are reported. Herein, we describe a visible-light-induced hydrotrifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes with CF3Br. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance, providing a new route for the application of BrCF3 in organic synthesis.

AbstractFunctionalized bisboryl compounds have recently emerged as a new class of synthetically useful building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to synthesize β-geminal-diboryl ketones enabled by a Cu/Pd-catalyzed borocarbonylative trifunctionalization of readily available alkynes and allenes. This reaction promises to be a useful method for the synthesis of functionalized β-geminal-diboryl ketones with broad functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through borocarbonylation/hydroboration cascade of both alkynes and allenes.

Organocatalysts have been extensively studied for the past few decades as alternatives to transition-metal catalysts. Immobilizing organocatalysts on polymer supports allows easy recovery and simple product purification after a reaction. Select examples of recent reports that describe the potential advantages of using soluble polymers to prepare soluble polymer-supported organocatalysts useful in organic synthesis are reviewed.

Aryl benzoates are compounds of high importance in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the iron-catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp3) Kumada cross-coupling of aryl chlorobenzoates with alkyl Grignard reagents. The method is characterized by the use of environmentally benign and sustainable iron salts for cross-coupling in the catalytic system, employing benign urea ligands in the place of reprotoxic NMP (NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone). It is notable that high selectivity for the cross-coupling is achieved in the presence of hydrolytically-labile and prone to nucleophilic addition phenolic ester C(acyl)–O bonds. The reaction provides access to alkyl-functionalized aryl benzoates. The examination of various O-coordinating ligands demonstrates the high activity of urea ligands in promoting the cross-coupling versus nucleophilic addition to the ester C(acyl)–O bond. The method showcases the functional group tolerance of iron-catalyzed Kumada cross-couplings.
