Heterogeneous acidic catalysts for the tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols in green ethereal solvents.

ABSTRACT: The application of heterogeneous catalysis and green solvents to the set up of widely employed reactions is a challenge in contemporary organic chemistry. We applied such an approach to the synthesis and further conversion of tetrahydropyranyl ethers, an important class of compounds widely employed in multistep syntheses. Several alcohols and phenols were almost quantitatively converted into the corresponding tetrahydropyranyl ethers in cyclopentyl methyl ether or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran employing NH₄HSO₄ supported on SiO₂ as a recyclable acidic catalyst. Easy work up of the reaction mixtures and the versatility of the solvents allowed further conversion of the reaction products under one-pot reaction conditions.

Application of acidic deep eutectic solvents in green extraction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Project description:The extraction of the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), as building block for many applications, from aqueous solutions has been became an indispensable challenge. Consequently, this study investigated the extraction ability of acidic deep eutectic solvent-based aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and lactic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid as hydrogen bond donor (HBD), countering polypropylene glycol 400 at T = 298.15 K. Two semi-empirical Zafarani-Moattar et al. and Merchuk equations were used to fit the measured binodal data. Further, the NRTL and UNIQUAC models were used for correlating of tie-line data. The consistency of the experimental tie-line data was determined by utilizing the Bachman-Brown and Hand correlations. Also, the performance of these ATPSs to partitioning of 5-HMF, were investigated by calculation of extraction efficiencies, EE% and partition coefficients, K. This strategy indicates DES-based ATPSs have the acceptable extraction efficiency of the 5-HMF in a single-step extraction. A greenness assessment tool, Analytical GREEnness metric (AGREE), was tested to evaluate of greenness of analytical protocol.

Platinum-Based Heterogeneous Catalysts for Nitrile Synthesis via Aerobic Oxidative Coupling of Alcohols and Ammonia.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of alcohols and ammonia represents an attractive atom-economical synthetic route to prepare nitriles. Heterogeneous platinum catalysts have been widely used for aerobic alcohol oxidation to aldehydes and carboxylic acids but have not been applied to nitrile synthesis. In this work, we show that carbon-supported Pt catalysts are effective for this transformation. Unpromoted Pt is competent with benzylic substrates bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents. Use of both K2CO3 and Bi additives accelerates the rate of alcohol oxidation and affords high yields with challenging heterocyclic alcohols.

Catalytic Low-Temperature Dehydration of Fructose to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents and Polyoxometalate Catalysts.

Project description:HMF synthesis typically requires high temperature and is carried out in aqueous solutions. In this work, the low-temperature dehydration of fructose to HMF in different deep eutectic solvents (DES) was investigated. We found a very active and selective reaction system consisting of the DES tetraethyl ammonium chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and levulinic acid as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in a molar ratio of 1:2 leading to a maximum HMF yield of 68% after 120 h at 323 K. The DES still contained a low amount of water at the initial reaction, and water was also produced during the reaction. Considering the DES properties, neither the molar ratio in the DES nor the reaction temperature had a significant influence on the overall performance of the reaction system. However, the nature of the HBA as well as the acidity of the HBD play an important role for the maximum achievable HMF yield. This was validated by measured yields in a DES with different combinations of HBD (levulinic acid and lactic acid) and HBA (choline chloride and tetra-n-alkyl ammonium chlorides). Moreover, addition of vanadium containing catalysts, especially the polyoxometalate HPA-5 (H8PV5Mo7O40) leads to drastically increased reaction kinetics. Using HPA-5 and the DES tetraethyl ammonium chloride-levulinic acid we could reach a maximum HMF yield of 57% after only 5 h reaction time without decreasing the very high product selectivity.

Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Intermolecular Coupling of Phenols and Allylic Alcohols.

Project description:An enantioselective intermolecular coupling of oxygen nucleophiles and allylic alcohols to give β-aryloxycarbonyl compounds is disclosed using a chiral pyridine oxazoline-ligated palladium catalyst under mild conditions. As opposed to the formation of traditional Wacker-type products, enantioselective migratory insertion is followed by β-hydride elimination toward the adjacent alcohol. Deuterium labeling experiments suggest a syn-migratory insertion of the alkene into the Pd-O bond. A broad scope of phenols, various allylic alcohols, and an alkyl hydroperoxide are viable coupling partners in this process.

Hydrogen-bonding 2D metal-organic solids as highly robust and efficient heterogeneous green catalysts for Biginelli reaction.

Project description:Two new Zn(II) and Cd(II) MOFs have been synthesized. These MOFs have been applied as heterogeneous catalysts for the green synthesis of a variety of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives through the Biginelli reaction and the desired products were obtained in high yields with short reaction time under mild solvent- free conditions. Moreover, the MOF catalysts may be readily recovered after the reaction and reused for many cycles.

Carbon Dioxide Solubility in Nonionic Deep Eutectic Solvents Containing Phenolic Alcohols.

Project description:Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a new class of green solvents that have shown unique properties in several process applications. This study evaluates nonionic DES containing phenolic alcohols as solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture applications. Potential phenolic alcohols and the molar ratio between DES constituents were preselected for experimental investigations based on the conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation (COSMO-RS). CO2 solubility was experimentally determined in two different DES, namely, L-menthol/thymol in 1:2 molar ratio and thymol/2,6-xylenol in 1:1 molar ratio, at various temperatures and pressures. CO2 solubility in the studied systems was higher than that reported in the literature for ionic DES and ionic liquids. This study demonstrates that nonionic DES containing phenolic alcohols can be excellent, inexpensive, and simple solvents for CO2 capture.

Kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols using amidine-based catalysts.

Project description:Kinetic resolution of racemic alcohols has been traditionally achieved via enzymatic enantioselective esterification and ester hydrolysis. However, there has long been considerable interest in devising nonenzymatic alternative methods for this transformation. Amidine-based catalysts (ABCs), a new class of enantioselective acyl transfer catalysts developed in our group, have demonstrated, inter alia, high efficacy in the kinetic resolution of benzylic, allylic, and propargylic secondary alcohols and 2-substituted cycloalkanols, and thus provide a viable alternative to enzymes.
