Abstract

The accelerating effect of the addition of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) on the oxidation of alcohols using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) in combination with phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) was investigated. HFIP accelerates the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols that are not sterically hindered. Based on the results in this study, the acceleration effect of HFIP may be due to the acceleration of the re-oxidation step by PIDA.

  • 5 We investigated the kinetic isotope effect of the oxidation of benzophenone (1f) using TEMPO/PIFA without HFIP and determined the k H/k D to be 1.1 (for details, see the Supporting Information). This low k H/k D value suggests that the re-oxidation step may proceed slowly.

  • 10 We also attempted the oxidation of alcohols without addition of HFIP under the same reaction time as with HFIP (Scheme 2). In many cases, the yield was lower compared to reactions conducted with HFIP. For details, see the Supporting Information.

  • 15 3-Phenylpropanal (2b); Typical Procedure To a mixture of 1b (136 mg, 1.00 mmol), TEMPO (15.6 mg, 100 μmol), and HFIP (105 μL, 1.00 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added PIDA (483 mg, 1.50 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1.5 h. The reaction was quenched with sat. aq. NaHCO3 and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give a residue. The residue was purified by MPLC (n-hexane/AcOEt = 1:0 to 4:1) to give 2b (117 mg, 87%) as a colorless oil.16 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 9.84–9.81 (m, 1H), 7.34–7.27 (m, 2H), 7.25–7.17 (m, 3H), 2.98 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.80 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 201.7, 140.4, 128.7, 128.4, 126.4, 45.3, 28.2.
