Superbase-Catalyzed anti-Markovnikov Alcohol Addition Reactions to Aryl Alkenes

Abstract: The organic superbase P- t-Bu catalyzes the direct anti-Markovnikov addition of alcohols to aryl alkenes to access valuable β-phenethyl ethers. A diverse substrate scope of aryl alkenes and alcohols is demonstrated, including heterocyclic systems and unprotected aminoalcohols. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is under equilibrium control and extensive comparisons to common inorganic bases indicate that the broad reaction scope is uniquely enabled through the use of the organic superbase.

“…in 1987, exhibit extremely high MeCN p KBH+ values, such as 26.9 for monophosphazene 1 up to 42.7 for tetraphosphazene 2 (Figure ). The Schwesinger base 2 has found many applications in, for example, the anti‐Markovnikov addition of alcohols to aryl alkenes, Ullmann couplings, as well as ether deprotonation processes …”

“…The low molecular weight byproduct corresponded to the poly( M3 ) homopolymer that was produced by the ROP of M3 initiated from water contaminant in the monomer or macroinitiator. On the other hand, the high molecular weight byproduct was possibly one of the intermolecularly cross-linked products formed through the reaction between the growing oxyanion and side chain olefin [30]. Thus, the crude product was purified by preparative SEC and pure P7 was isolated in 80.4% yield ( M n,NMR = 19,600 g·mol −1 , DP 1 /DP 2 /DP 3 = 33/33/25, Đ = 1.03) (Table 3).…”

“…On the other hand, phosphazene base is recently attracting more attention because of its high basicity [5]. Phosphazene easily abstracts proton from alcohol and generates conjugate base which behaves as a reaction initiator [6]. To focus on these properties, we synthesized photobase generator OXTA-P 2 tBu to generate superbase under UV irradiation by forming a salt with OXTA and 1-tertbutyl-2,2,4,4,4-pentaxyth(dimethylamino)-2 5 ,4 5catenadi(phosphazene) (P 2 tBu).…”
