ABSTRACT: Peracetic acid can be used universally as a source of acetate and an oxidant for the selective acetoxylation of C−H bonds in compounds containing ortho-directing groups, catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2. Compared to previous procedures, where persulfates and PhI(OAc)2 were used, the new protocol provides significant improvements in atom efficiency, product yield, substrate scope, cost, scalability, and environmental impact.

such as Cu,12,13 Ru,14,15 and even Co16 are known, Pd(II) catalysts, specifically Pd(OAc)2, remain the most versatile, as it can be directly employed without ligands in the acetoxylation of a myriad of substrates. One of the major issues, however, is the limited choice of effective oxidants. For Pd-catalyzed acetoxylation reactions, (diacetoxy-iodo)benzene, PhI(OAc)2 (DIB), is often employed as a source of acetate ions and an oxidant. The use of this hypervalent reagent generates a stoichiometric amount of iodobenzene, a high-molecular weight, halogenated byproduct that will require additional workup procedures for its removal from the product mixture, which effectively negate the green credentials of the original experimental design. For the acetoxylation of certain substrates, such as acetanilide, DIB was reported to be ineffective. In such cases, the potassium or ammonium salt of peroxodisulfate (S2O82−) is required for the reaction to proceed in good yields (Scheme 2).17,18 Compared to iodobenzene, the inorganic sulfate byproducts are easier to remove (by aqueous workup). However, because of their limited solubility in organic solvents,

INTRODUCTION Transition-metal-catalyzed C−H activation reactions can provide a considerable step- and atom-efficient replacement for tradition cross-coupling methods, obviating the need to preactivate the starting material and the subsequent generation of halide waste. 1−3 In the absence of a halide, the regioselectivity of the reactions can be controlled by the presence of certain functional (directing) groups on the arene substrates. In the early years, reactions were mostly limited to Pd(II)-catalyzed functionalization of arenes, particularly at the sp2 carbon adjacent (ortho) to the directing group. More recently, significant advances in the field, notably through the seminal work by Yu and co-workers,4−6 have shown that regioselectivity of the reaction can be controlled at distal positions using a “template” approach, presenting opportunities for extending molecular complexity through late-stage functionalization. Acylalkoxylation of a C−H bond of an aromatic ring (Scheme 1) is one of the earliest examples of Pd-catalyzed C− H activation reactions7 and is also one of the best exemplified.8−11 While reports of cheaper metal catalysts

To date, there is no literature precedent where peracetic acid is used in C−H acetoxylation reactions. The ability to employ this reagent is a highly attractive proposition; PAA can serve as both an oxidant and the source of acetate. However, it is a substantially “greener” oxidant than either DIB or persulfate, as only H2O is generated as a benign byproduct (Table 2). The

they were often employed in excess (2 equiv). The prolonged reaction time also limits the large-scale applications of these processes. In this work, we will report our discovery of peracetic acid as a more sustainable reagent for the acetoxylation of C−H bonds.



RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The mechanism of the acetoxylation reaction is generally proposed to involve a Pd(II)−Pd(IV) redox cycle, initiating with the formation of a stable cyclometalated complex 1 from the reaction between Pd(OAc)2 and acetanilide 2a (Scheme 3). The role of the oxidant is believed to facilitate the

favorable E-factor is further complemented by the availability and cost effectiveness of PAA (widely used as a disinfectant on an industrial scale),21 providing us with strong incentives to develop a method for performing catalytic acylalkoxylation reactions using this oxidant. Guided by related studies,22−24 reactions were performed in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of toluenesulfonic acid (25 mol %) to facilitate the C−H activation step. When acetic acid is employed as the solvent, the use of environmentally undesirable chlorinated solvents can be avoided. Initial investigations revealed that Pd(OAc)2 causes competitive decomposition of the oxidant, which hampers product formation (Table 3, entry 1). Subsequently, the reaction Table 3.

The study originated from an empirical observation made during an earlier study of the redox properties of palladacycles,19 where a solution of complex 1 in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) was found to be inert to treatments with DIB or K2S2O8 (Table 1, entries 1 and 2).

protocol was adjusted, using a syringe pump to deliver the oxidant to the reaction mixture at a rate of 1 mL/h. Under these conditions, the product was obtained in 62% yield (entry 2), which can be improved to 88% by further adjustment of the reaction stoichiometry (entry 4). The conversion is lower (78%) at 1 mol % catalyst loading (entry 5), which is attributed to product inhibition, as the reaction mixture remained as a yellow homogeneous solution, so the formation of Pd black is not a significant process. The method was tested in the ortho-acetoxylation of several arenes with amide directing groups (Scheme 4); the results were compared with that reported previously using persulfate as the oxidant.17,18 In all cases, similar, if not better, yields were obtained using the peracid (e.g., 4a, 4c, 4f, and 4h) in a shorter reaction time.

experiments were repeated in a mixture of acetic acid-DCE, the formation of the acetate product 4a occurred spontaneously in quantitative yields at 80 °C (entries 3 and 4). The observation led us to speculate that the true oxidant might be peracetic acid (CH3CO3H, PAA), as it has been reported that peracids can be formed by the treatment of carboxylic acid with strong oxidants such as K2S2O8.20 This was verified by the addition of B

acetophenone (5a) and o-tolualdehyde (5b) had been reported previously by Sanford and co-workers using either DIB or Oxone (potassium monopersulfate) at 100 °C30 to afford 6a and 6b, respectively, as a 5:1 mixture of E/Z-isomers. In comparison, at ambient conditions, PAA afforded comparable yields of 67% and 73% for 6a and 6b, respectively. Significantly, the E-stereochemistry of the oxime ether was conserved during the reaction under the milder reaction conditions. Slow addition of the oxidant also allowed for more precise control of reaction stoichiometry, thus allowing the monoacetoxylaton of the oxime ether of p-tolualdehyde 5c to be achieved, affording the novel compound 6c in 62% yield. The protocol is also applicable to the acetoxylation of sp3 C−H bonds; the functionalization of camphor oxime 7 at the C-10 position was achieved in 68% yield, compared to 63 and 68% reported using Oxone and DIB, respectively.30 Given that the treatment of complex 1 with DIB afforded the expected product (Table 1, entry 2), we revisited earlier reports where it was found to be an ineffective acetoxylation reagent17,31 by performing the reaction using two different protocols: (1) Adding an equimolar of DIB to the reaction mixture at the beginning of the reaction afforded a low 28% yield of the product. (2) Slow addition of the oxidant led to a dramatic improvement to 73% yield (Scheme 6). This clearly demonstrates that the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent can be an equally effective oxidant, so long as its decomposition can be suppressed during the reaction.32

observations: electron-rich substrates (2b−d, 2f−g) are more reactive toward C−H activation and furnished better yields than electron-deficient substrates (2e). For the para-anisidine derivative 2g, a mixture of ortho- and meta-regioisomers of 4g were obtained; the latter is likely due to a competitive uncatalyzed reaction.25,26 Replacing the acetyl group at nitrogen with sterically bulky benzoyl derivatives (2h−j), pivaloyl (2k), or the chelating 1,3dicarbonyl moiety (2l) did not significantly affect the reaction outcome. The corresponding ortho-acetoxylated products 4h−l were all obtained in good to excellent yields. It is interesting to note that for the substrates 2h−j, acetoxylation occurred exclusively on the N−Ar and not on the benzoyl ring. For the acetoxylation of cyclic amides, N-acetyl indoline (2m) and tetrahydroquinoline (2n) serve as model substrates to test the potential application of the methodology for late stage-functionalization reactions.27 Interestingly, while the reaction of the tetrahydroquinoline derivative produced the expected acetoxylated product 4n in good yields (74%), the reaction with the 5-membered indoline ring afforded the



CONCLUSIONS In this work, we have identified peracetic acid (PAA) as the active oxidant involved in Pd-catalyzed C−H acetoxylation reactions. This discovery led us to develop a method where Scheme 6. Acetoxylation of Acetanilide Using DIB as an Oxidant at Ambient Conditions

PAA can be employed as an atom-efficient replacement of conventional oxidants, as well as a source of acetate ions, in Pdcatalyzed acetoxylation reactions. The precise roles of the oxidants in these reactions are not clear. Given that the three different oxidants (persulfate, peracetic acid, and DIB) afforded similar yields (Scheme 5), it is likely that very similar reactive intermediates are involved. Finally, the green metrics of the different oxidants can be quantified for the acetoxylation of acetanilide by using the toolkit developed by the CHEM21 project (Table 4).33,34 The

reaction performed with PAA is clearly superior in terms of mass efficiency, atom economy, and overall efficiency. The higher PMI is attributed to the amount of solvent required to enable a slow addition. It is envisaged that this can be improved by optimizing the dosing of the oxidant, e.g., slower addition of a more concentrated/neat solution, which can be more easily achievable on a large scale. From a process chemistry perspective, slow addition of the oxidant also allows more precise control of the reaction exotherm and product selectivity, thus allowing the process to be implemented safely in a sustainable way.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Procedure for Catalytic Acetoxylation of Arenes Using PAA. Reactions were conducted in 50 mL round-bottom flasks with no special precautions taken to exclude moisture or air. Slow addition of peracetic acid was achieved using a syringe pump and a syringe fitted with a PTFE tube (Note: metal needles are to be avoided as they can cause degradation of peracetic acid). The requisite substrate (2a−n/5a−c/7, 1.5 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (11.2 mg, 0.05 mmol, 5 mol %), and TsOH·H2O (47.5 mg, 0.25 mmol) were dissolved in acetic acid (10 mL), to which a solution of peracetic acid (0.1 M in acetic acid, 10 mL, 1 mmol) was slowly added over 10 h (1 mL/h). The reaction mixture was stirred for a further 8 h at ambient temperature (total reaction time 18 h) before the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification of the products was achieved by silica gel column chromatography. Typical Procedure for Catalytic Acetoxylation Using DIB (Protocol 2, Scheme 6). Acetanilide 2a (135 mg, 1.0 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (11.2 mg, 0.05 mmol, 5 mol %), and TsOH·H2O (47.5 mg, 0.25 mmol) were dissolved in acetic acid (10 mL), and the mixture was warmed to 30 °C. Using a syringe pump, a solution of PhI(OAc)2 (322.1 mg, 1 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL, 0.1 M) was added to this mixture over 10 h, at a rate of 1 mL/h. Stirring was continued at 30 °C for a further 8 h (18 h total). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate) providing 4a as a white solid (141 mg, 73%). D
