Hybrid catalytic effects of K2CO3 on the synthesis of salicylic acid from carboxylation of phenol with CO2

, p. 391 - 406 (2016)
As a base-promoted Kolbe-Schmitt carboxylation reaction, the mechanism of synthesis of salicylic acid derivatives from phenols with CO2 in the industry is still unclear, even up to now. In this paper, synthesis of 3,6-dichloro salicylic acid (3,6-DCSA) from 2,5-dichloro phenoxide and CO2 was investigated in the presence of K2CO3. We show the reaction can proceed by itself, but it goes at a slower rate as well as a lower yield, compared to the case with the addition of K2CO3. However, the yield of 3,6-DCSA is only minorly affected by the size of K2CO3, which cannot be explained from the view of catalytic effect. Therefore, K2CO3 may on one hand act as a catalyst for the activation of CO2 so that the reaction can be accelerated, while on the other hand, it also acts as a co-reactant in deprotonating the phenol formed by the side reaction to phenoxide, which is further converted to salicylate.
O-demethylations catalyzed by rieske nonheme iron monooxygenases involve the difficult oxidation of a saturated C-H bond

Dicamba monooxygenase (DMO) catalyzes the O-demethylation of dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate) to produce 3,6-dichlorosalicylate and formaldehyde. Recent crystallographic studies suggest that DMO catalyzes the challenging oxidation of a saturated C-H bond within the methyl group of dicamba to form a hemiacetal intermediate. Testing of this hypothesis was made possible by our development of two new independent techniques. As a novel method to allow use of 18O2 to follow reaction products, bisulfite was used to trap newly formed 18O-formaldehyde in the stable adduct, hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS-), and thereby prevent the rapid exchange of 18O in formaldehyde with 16O in water. The second technique utilized unique properties of Pseudomonas putida formaldehyde dehydrogenase that allow rapid conversion of 18O-formaldehyde into stable and easily detectable 18O-formic acid. Experiments using these two new techniques provided compelling evidence for DMO-catalyzed oxidation of the methyl group of dicamba, thus validating a mechanism for DMO [and for vanillate monooxygenase, a related Rieske nonheme iron monooxygenase] that involves the difficult oxidation of a saturated C-H bond.

Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is a broad spectrum, post-emergent herbicide that is among the most widely used agrochemicals globally. Over the past 30 years, there has been a development of glyphosate-resistant weeds, which pose a significant challenge to growers and crop scientists, resulting in lower crop yields and increased costs. 3,6-Dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (dicamba) is the active ingredient in XtendiMax a standalone herbicide developed by Bayer Crop Science to control broadleaf weeds, including glyphosate-resistant species. 3,6-Dichloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (3,6-DCSA) is the penultimate intermediate in the synthesis of dicamba. Existing dicamba manufacturing routes utilize a high temperature, high pressure Kolbe-Schmitt carboxylation to prepare 3,6-DCSA. Described in this Letter is a new, non-Kolbe-Schmitt process to prepare 3,6-DCSA from salicylic acid in four chemical steps.
