Search for a photoinduced (site-selective) cleavage of the Ar-Cl bond in dichloroanisoles.
Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences 2018 January 18
The site-selective cleavage of an Ar-X bond in polyhalogenated aromatics is an important tool in synthetic planning especially when more than one identical halogen atom is present. An alternative to the usual metal-catalyzed cleavage is represented by photochemistry although only a few examples have been reported. We then investigated the feasibility of the site-selective photodechlorination of some dichloroanisoles through a combined experimental and computational study. In the case of 2,4-dichloroanisole, selective detachment of the chlorine atom at the ortho position with respect to the OMe group was observed upon photohomolysis (in cyclohexane) or photoheterolysis (in MeOH) of the Ar-Cl bond. In the latter case, 5-chloro-2-methoxy-1,1'-biphenyl was exclusively formed upon reaction of the resulting phenyl cation with benzene. The substitution of an OH group for a OMe group was detrimental since a lower photoreactivity resulted with no improvement in the selectivity.
