4-Phenol diazonium salts undergo Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions with various styrenes to 4'-hydroxy stilbenes. In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior.
A six-step synthesis of the antidepressant rolipram from the popular analgetic 4-acetamidophenol (paracetamol) is described. The steps include oxidative functionalization of the aromatic core, diazonium salt formation via deacetylation-diazotation, Matsuda-Heck reaction, conjugate addition of nitromethane, and hydrogenative cyclization.
