Ionic Pathways in the Photochemistry of Cyclic Sulfite Esters

The photochemistry of cyclic carbonate esters proceeds by the photochemical extrusion of carbon dioxide to give 1, 3-diradicals which produce oxiranes as well as other radical derived species. The corresponding cyclic sulfite esters, upon irradiation, give intermediates that are trapped by alcohols yet generate no oxiranes. These results are consistent with ionic intermediates.

A simple one-pot synthesis of β-alkoxy alcohols from alkenes

β-Methoxy alcohols are easily obtained from the one-pot reaction of alkenes with oxone in methanol, in the absence of any additive or catalyst. The use of other alcohols as solvents has shown that the efficiency of the process decreases with the steric hindrance of the alcohol.

Poly(4-vinylpyridinium P-toluenesulfonate) as a polymer-supported catalyst for hydrolysis of tetrahydropyranyl ethers

Poly(4-vinylpyridinium) p-toluenesulfonate is used as an immobilized catalyst for the hydrolysis of tetrahydropyranyl ethers. This method is mild, efficient and convenient, giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields and purity.
