Cerium(III) Triflate versus Cerium(III) Chloride: Anion Dependence of Lewis Acid Behavior in the Deprotection of PMB Ethers

Abstract: Cerium(III) triflate deprotects p‐methoxybenzyl ethers of simple alcohols better than the cerium(III) chloride/sodium iodide system. It can be used in 1% M instead of equimolecular amounts, giving better yields. Aromatic alcohols rearrange, but the addition of a scavenger overcomes this drawback. Unfortunately, unsaturated alcohols are deprotected with decomposition, probably due to side electrophilic additions to double bonds. A comparison between the mechanisms of cerium triflate and cerium chloride is repor… Show more

“…The role of ceriumA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (III) chloride as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic reactions is well documented. [69,70,71] However, as we have observed in this study, CeCl 3 ·7 H 2 O does not act as an ordinary Lewis acid for the activation of H 2 O 2 . In order to show this difference, we have studied the iodination of 1, 3-dimethoxybenzene (1 mmol) using H 2 O 2 (1 mmol) and NaI (1 mmol) in the presence of a catalytic amount of various Lewis acids (0.5 mmol) at room temperature for 1 h. Analysis of the reaction mixtures showed the formation of the mono-iodinated product from a trace to a maximum of 20% plus unreacted starting materials (Table 4, entries 2-11).…”

“…Among them, cerium salts have been widely applied in various organic synthetic reactions [39][40][41][42][43]. Our findings indicate that cerium(III) sulphate is an efficient catalyst for our synthesis and allows condensation reactions to occur under very mild conditions with generally short reaction times and good yields.…”

“…If the mixture reaction was performed using only 0.5% Er(OTf) 3 we did not observe the complete conversion of amine after 7 min ( Table 1 , entry 11). Considering our experience in the use of lanthanide triflates and, in particular, of Er (III) and Ce (III) [ 70 ], using Ce(OTf) 3 in the same molar percentage (1% mol), the reaction showed the complete conversion of amine after 7 min. Considering the higher cost of Ce (OTf) 3 compared to Er (OTf) 3 , we continued with the synthesis of different disubstituted benzimidazoles using only 1% of Er (III) under MW irradiation.…”
