Abstract:This paper is dedicated to Professor Ross Stewart ot1 tlze occasion of his 65th birthda!.OSWALD S. TEE and N. RANI IYENGAR. Can. J. Chem. 68, 1769 (1990).The reactions of bromine with phenol, 4-bromophenol, and 4-methylphenol (p-cresol) in aqueous solution are catalyzed by carboxylate anions, confirming the suggestions of earlier work. The results are consistent with deprotonation of the phenol hydroxyl group by a general base occurring at more or less the same time as electrophilic attack by molecular bromine… Show more
“…It is known that the structure of attacking species in electrophilic bromination depends on the reaction conditions: when a strong Lewis acid is used with the bromine, the attacking electrophile may be a positive bromonium cation Br + . In the presence of polar solvents, the attacking electrophile may be a neutral Br 2 molecule polarized by the solvent . In the absence of a catalyst or polar solvents, and using nonpolar solvents, the attacking bromine molecule can be polarized by the π‐electron‐rich aromatic rings system of heterocycle .…”

“…However, when the same reaction was carried out in presence of NBS alone at −5 °C → RT, the reaction progressed smoothly to completion in about 4 h to furnish 4-substituted 1,6-dihydro-2 H -pyridin-3-one 12a in 66% yield . That the transformation of crowded 2,3-disubstituted furan 11a to the pyridin-3-one 12a in the presence of NBS/NaOAc·3H 2 O was unsuccessful could be attributed to the weaker reactivity of in situ generated brominating agent acetyl hypobromite (CH 3 COOBr) from NBS and the buffer anion compared with that of NBS alone successfully utilized for the same transformation …”
The development of an innovative method to access enantiopure 2,4-disubstituted 6-hydroxy-1,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-3-ones starting from D-glucal via the aza-Achmatowicz transformation has been described. These highly functionalized pyridin-3-ones have been utilized for the synthesis of contiguously substituted pyridines through a rapid and efficient Et(3)N/Ac(2)O promoted cyclo-elimination, aromatization cascade, allowing the facile assembly of important pyridine-based building blocks like 2-substituted 3-acetoxy-4-iodopyridines and enantiopure 2-substituted 3-acetoxy-4-pyridinemethanols possessing benzylic stereogenic centers, whose synthesis otherwise would be tedious. The utilization of commercially available sugars as starting materials, mild reaction conditions, catalytic transfer hydrogen (CTH) of α-furfuryl azide derivatives, transfer of chiral aryl/alkyl methanols from enulosides to pyridin-3-ones and pyridines, high yields, and short reaction times are key features of this method. The utility of the method has been further exemplified by demonstrating the usage of the 2-substituted 3-acetoxy-4-iodopyridine for the construction of biologically significant molecules like 2,7-disubstituted furo[2,3-c]pyridines and 7,7'-disubstituted 2,2'-bifuro[2,3-c]pyridines.
