N-Heterocyclic carbene/photo-cocatalyzed oxidative Smiles rearrangement: Synthesis of aryl salicylates from: O -aryl salicylaldehydes

The N-heterocyclic carbene/photo-cocatalyzed oxidative Smiles rearrangement of O-aryl salicylaldehydes was developed. Both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryls worked well as migrating groups, giving the corresponding aryl salicylates in good yields. This reaction features formation of two new C-O bonds and one C-O bond cleavage via metal-free oxidation of the Breslow intermediate using oxygen as the terminal oxidant and following the Smiles rearrangement under photocatalysis.

Aromatic salicylate process

An aromatic salicylate process comprising contacting a phenol, carbon monoxide, a base, a Group VIIIB element selected from ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium or platinum and recovering at least a portion of an aromatic salicylate. The resulting aromatic salicylates are useful in plastics and lacquers as well as in pharmaceuticals.
