Alkylation of Catechol with Benzhydrol: Unusual Regioselectivity in the Synthesis of o‐Quinones and Catechols

Abstract: Unusual regioselectivity occurs in the alkylation reaction of benzhydrol with catechol. The reactionp roceeds to give catechols containing two vicinal diphenylmethyl substituents. 4,5-Bis-(diphenylmethyl)-substituted catechol was found as the main product in more than 50 %y ield. The reaction outcomei sq uite different to that of the reactions using bulky alkyl alcohols reported so far,i nw hich3 ,5-and 3,4,6-disubstituted speciesw ere formedp redominantly.T he minor products this reaction are 3,5-di-and 3,4,6… Show more

“…Analysis of the experimental EPR spectra indicates the presence of HFC of an unpaired electron with magnetic 14 N nitrogen nuclei, protons in the 3‐ and 6‐positions of the iminoquinone ring and protons of the methoxy group. The extraordinary large value of the HFC constant with the proton in the 6‐position of the iminosemiquinone cycle (2.58–2.60 G) is not typical for semiquinone derivatives [16] and it is a confirmation of the preferential localization of the spin density on the nitrogen atom of the chelate site. Simulation of the experimental spectra obtained for complexes 8 (Figure 2) and 9 also revealed the HFC of the unpaired electron (0.48–0.49 G) with two equivalent nuclei with spin S=1/2.…”

“…However, there are “noninnocent” ligands named by Jørgensen, which could also participate in redox process. It has been well determined that the interaction of metals with noninnocent ligands is important to promote electron transfer processes in biological or chemical reactions. In addition, the noninnocent ligands deeply offer more features in establishing “correct” electronic distribution . Hence, a profusion of noninnocent ligands with the N, O, and S atoms is utilized more frequently in the coordination, organometallic chemistry, and biochemistry, such as dithiolenes, , semiquinone (SQ) or the hybrid o -aminophenol, glyoxal-bis­(2-mercaptoanil) (H 2 gma), etc.…”
