Acid/Base-Catalyzed
Functional Group Metathesis Approach
to Methoxy Group Isotopic Exchange of Aryl Methyl Ethers
Abstract We report a practical method for the direct isotopic exchange of methoxy groups in aryl methyl ethers using labeled methanol as an isotope source. A base-catalyzed system (t-BuOK/18-crown-6) is effective for electron-deficient substrates, whereas an acid-catalyzed system (MeOTf) is optimal for electron-rich substrates. Both protocols afforded deuterated products in high yields with excellent deuterium incorporation. The utility is demonstrated by labeling drug molecules and serving as an internal standard for HPLC–MS/MS analysis.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
