The Borderline between Reactivity and Pre-reactivity of Binary Mixtures of Gaseous Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols.

ABSTRACT: By mixing primary and secondary alcohols with carboxylic acids just before the supersonic expansion within pulsed Fourier transform microwave experiments, only the rotational spectrum of the ester was observed. However, when formic acid was mixed with tertiary alcohols, adducts were formed and their rotational spectra could be easily measured. Quantum mechanical calculations were performed to interpret the experimental evidence.

Separating Binary Gaseous Mixtures of Ethene + Ethyne Using Cement Hydrate: A Multiscale Computational Study.

Project description:Cement production is a carbon intensive industry and is responsible for large quantities of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Due to the significant embedded carbon costs of cement, it might be promising to investigate waste cement for alternative uses so as to maximize utility of this material. Recent computational work on the sorption of natural gas constitutions in cement hydrate suggested that it might be worthwhile examining its usefulness in separating mixtures of C2 hydrocarbons. In light of this and the ongoing challenges of separating ethene and ethyne in industry, this study employed a multiscale approach to assess the feasibility of pressure swing adsorption to separate mixtures of ethene + ethyne. By combining stochastic atomistic simulations with macroscale batch equilibrium modeling, ethene recovery, product gas composition, and the separation power were computed over a range of temperatures (from 273 to 323 K), pressures (100 to 2000 kPa), and adsorbent masses (10 to 40 g per mole of feed gas). The results of this study include a look at the intermolecular interactions in the system and their relationship to the adsorption behavior as described by well-known adsorption isotherm models. This can help point the way to selecting materials that are promising for gas separations.

DCID-mediated esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols under mild conditions.

Project description:DCID (Dichloroimidazolidinedione) 2 is used as a novel coupling reagent for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols at room temperature. The reaction represents the first DCID-promoted esterification under mild conditions with good to excellent yields. Reactions can proceed smoothly with those bearing electron-withdrawing and donating group(s) on the carboxylic acids and benzyl alcohols at ambient temperature. Furthermore, we proposed a plausible mechanism and confirmed it by isolating and characterizing intermediates 3a and 7. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by comparison of melting points and NMR spectra.

Reduction of Carboxylic Acids to Alcohols via Manganese(I) Catalyzed Hydrosilylation.

Project description:The reduction of carboxylic acids to the respective alcohols, in mild conditions, was achieved using [MnBr(CO)5] as the catalyst and bench stable PhSiH3 as the reducing agent. It was shown that the reaction with the earth-abundant metal catalyst could be performed either with a catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol %, rare with the use of [MnBr(CO)5], or on a gram scale employing only 1.5 equiv of PhSiH3, the lowest amount of silane reported to date for this transformation. Kinetic data and control experiments have provided initial insight into the mechanism of the catalytic process, suggesting that it proceeds via the formation of silyl ester intermediates and ligand dissociation to generate a coordinatively unsaturated Mn(I) complex as the active species.

Using parahydrogen to hyperpolarize amines, amides, carboxylic acids, alcohols, phosphates, and carbonates.

Project description:Hyperpolarization turns weak nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) responses into strong signals, so normally impractical measurements are possible. We use parahydrogen to rapidly hyperpolarize appropriate 1H, 13C, 15N, and 31P responses of analytes (such as NH3) and important amines (such as phenylethylamine), amides (such as acetamide, urea, and methacrylamide), alcohols spanning methanol through octanol and glucose, the sodium salts of carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid and pyruvic acid), sodium phosphate, disodium adenosine 5'-triphosphate, and sodium hydrogen carbonate. The associated signal gains are used to demonstrate that it is possible to collect informative single-shot NMR spectra of these analytes in seconds at the micromole level in a 9.4-T observation field. To achieve these wide-ranging signal gains, we first use the signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) process to hyperpolarize an amine or ammonia and then use their exchangeable NH protons to relay polarization into the analyte without changing its identity. We found that the 1H signal gains reach as high as 650-fold per proton, whereas for 13C, the corresponding signal gains achieved in a 1H-13C refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT) experiment exceed 570-fold and those in a direct-detected 13C measurement exceed 400-fold. Thirty-one examples are described to demonstrate the applicability of this technique.

Stereoselective oxidative glycosylation of anomeric nucleophiles with alcohols and carboxylic acids.

Project description:Oligosaccharides, one of the most abundant biopolymers, are involved in numerous biological processes. Although many efforts have been put in preparative carbohydrate chemistry, achieving optimal anomeric and regioselectivities remains challenging. Herein we describe an oxidative glycosylation method between anomeric stannanes and oxygen nucleophiles resulting in the formation of a C-O bond with consistently high anomeric control for glycosyl donors bearing a free C2-hydroxyl group. These reactions are promoted by hypervalent iodine reagents with catalytic or stoichiometric amounts of Cu or Zn salts. The generality of this transformation is demonstrated in 42 examples. Mechanistic studies indicate that the oxidative glycosylation is initiated by the hydroxyl-guided delivery of the hypervalent iodine and tosylate into the anomeric position, and results in excellent 1,2-trans selectivity. The unique mechanistic paradigm, high selectivities, and mild reaction conditions make this method suitable for the synthesis of oligosaccharides and for integration with other methodologies such as automated synthesis.

Mechanism-Dependent Selectivity: Fluorocyclization of Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids or Alcohols by Hypervalent Iodine.

Project description:To understand the unprecedented difference between 6-endo and 5-exo selectivity in hypervalent iodine (III) promoted fluorocyclization of unsaturated carboxylic acids or alcohols by difluoroiodotoluene, density functional theory (DFT) studies have been performed to systematically compare both the previous proposed "fluorination first and cyclization later" mechanism and the alternative "cyclization first and fluorination later" mechanism. Our results revealed that the selectivity is mechanism-dependent. The unsaturated alcohol prefers the fluorination first and the 6-endo-tet cyclization later pathway, leading to the experimentally observed 6-endo ether product. In contrast, the unsaturated carboxylic acid plausibly undergoes the 5-exo-trig cyclization first and the fluorination later to the experimentally observed 5-exo lactone product. The pK a property of the functional group of the substrate is found to play a key role in determining the reaction mechanism. The provided insights into the mechanism-dependent selectivity should help advance the development of fluorocyclization reactions with hypervalent iodine reagents.

Iridium Catalysts for Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids: Scope and Mechanism.

Project description:We introduce iridium-based conditions for the conversion of primary alcohols to potassium carboxylates (or carboxylic acids) in the presence of potassium hydroxide and either [Ir(2-PyCH2(C4H5N2))(COD)]OTf (1) or [Ir(2-PyCH2PBu2 t)(COD)]OTf (2). The method provides both aliphatic and benzylic carboxylates in high yield and with outstanding functional group tolerance. We illustrate the application of this method to a diverse variety of primary alcohols, including those involving heterocycles and even free amines. Complex 2 reacts with alcohols to form crystallographically-characterized catalytic intermediates [IrH(η 1,η 3-C8H12)(2-PyCH2PtBu2)] (2a) and [Ir2H3(CO)(2-PyCH2PtBu2){μ-(C5H3N)CH2PtBu2}] (2c). The unexpected similarities in reactivities of 1 and 2 in this reaction, along with synthetic studies on several of our iridium intermediates, enable us to form a general proposal of the mechanisms of catalyst activation that govern the disparate reactivities of 1 and 2, respectively in glycerol and formic acid dehydrogenation. Moreover, careful analysis of the organic intermediates in the oxidation sequence enable new insights into the role of Tishchenko and Cannizzaro reactions in the overall oxidation.

A Recyclable, Metal-Free Mechanochemical Approach for the Oxidation of Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids.

Project description:The oxidation of primary alcohols under mechanochemical conditions in a Spex8000M Mixer/Mill was investigated. To facilitate ease of separation and recyclability, a polystyrene-bound version of a TEMPO catalyst was employed. When paired with Oxone® in a stainless-steel vial with a stainless-steel ball, several primary alcohols were successfully oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids. The product was isolated using gravity filtration, which also allowed for the polystyrene-bound TEMPO catalyst to be recovered and reused in subsequent oxidation reactions. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the size and steric hindrance of the primary alcohol does not hinder the rate of the reaction. Finally, the aldehyde was selectively obtained from a primary alcohol under ball milling conditions by using a combination of non-supported TEMPO with a copper vial and copper ball.

Rational Engineering of a Flavoprotein Oxidase for Improved Direct Oxidation of Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids.

Project description:The oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl or carboxyl compounds represents a convenient strategy for the selective introduction of electrophilic carbon centres into carbohydrate-based starting materials. The O?-dependent oxidation of prim-alcohols by flavin-containing alcohol oxidases often yields mixtures of aldehyde and carboxylic acid, which is due to "over-oxidation" of the aldehyde hydrate intermediate. In order to directly convert alcohols into carboxylic acids, rational engineering of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural oxidase was performed. In an attempt to improve the binding of the aldehyde hydrate in the active site to boost aldehyde-oxidase activity, two active-site residues were exchanged for hydrogen-bond-donating and -accepting amino acids. Enhanced over-oxidation was demonstrated and Michaelis-Menten kinetics were performed to corroborate these findings.
