Silylated cyclopentadienes as competent silicon Lewis acid catalysts.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterization of silicon Lewis acid complexes that incorporate highly electron-deficient cyclopentadienes is reported. Several pentacarboxycyclopentadienyl and monocarboxytetracyanocyclopentadienyl complexes were prepared. A comparison of their reactivities for catalysis of the allylation of an electron-deficient benzaldehyde was established. The use of a monocarboxytetracyano silylium donor was shown to be effective for the allylation or arylation of a variety of electrophiles via an anion abstraction pathway.

Electrophilic bis-fluorophosphonium dications: Lewis acid catalysts from diphosphines.

Project description:Stepwise oxidation of 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene and a series of (oligo)methylene-linked diphosphines with XeF2 followed by fluoride abstraction yields a family of compounds featuring phosphine, phosphonium and phosphorane moieties in close proximity. The bisphosphonium ions [(C10H6)(Ph2PF)2]2+ (5) and [CH2(Ph2PF)2]2+ (9a) exhibit remarkable Lewis acidity arising from the proximity of the phosphonium centers. The effectiveness of bisphosphonium dications (5, 9a-e) is examined in a series of Lewis acid catalysed transformations.

Benzotriazolium Salts: Emergent Readily Accessible Bench-Stable Lewis Acid Catalysts.

Project description:In this work, benzotriazolium salts have been introduced as efficient, readily accessible, bench-stable Lewis acid catalysts. Though these sorts of N-heterocyclic compounds have found wide applications as ionic liquids or electrolytes, their Lewis acid catalytic activity remained unexplored. Herein, their potential as Lewis acid catalysts was demonstrated in two prototypical allylic and Nazarov cyclization reactions, showing a matching reactivity and allowing low catalytic loadings (down to 0.5 mol %).

Reversible C-H bond silylation with a neutral silicon Lewis acid.

Project description:The silicon-carbon bond is a valuable linchpin for synthetic transformations. However, installing Si-C functionalities requires metalated C-nucleophiles, activated silicon reagents (silylium ions, silyl radicals, and silyl anions), or transition metal catalysis, and it occurs irreversibly. In contrast, spontaneous C-H silylations with neutral silanes leading to anionic silicates, and their reversible deconstruction, are elusive. Herein, the CH-bond silylation of heterocycles or a terminal alkyne is achieved by reaction with bis(perfluoro(N-phenyl-ortho-amidophenolato))silane and 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine. Computational and experimental insights reveal a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mechanism. Adding a silaphilic donor to the ammonium silicate products induces the reformation of the C-H bond, thus complementing previously known irreversible C-H bond silylation protocols. Interestingly, the FLP "activated" N-methylpyrrole exhibits "deactivated" features against electrophiles, while a catalytic functionalization is found to be effective only in the absence of a base.

Protecting-Group-Free Amidation of Amino Acids using Lewis Acid Catalysts.

Project description:Amidation of unprotected amino acids has been investigated using a variety of 'classical" coupling reagents, stoichiometric or catalytic group(IV) metal salts, and boron Lewis acids. The scope of the reaction was explored through the attempted synthesis of amides derived from twenty natural, and several unnatural, amino acids, as well as a wide selection of primary and secondary amines. The study also examines the synthesis of medicinally relevant compounds, and the scalability of this direct amidation approach. Finally, we provide insight into the chemoselectivity observed in these reactions.

Preparation of S-glycoside surfactants and cysteine thioglycosides using minimally competent Lewis acid catalysis.

Project description:Here we report a method for the preparation of anomerically pure β-S-glycopyranosides (1,2-trans-glycosides) from the corresponding peracetate donors. S-glycosylation was performed in CHCl3 at reflux in the presence of a catalytic amount of InBr3. Deacylation of the intermediate peracetates were achieved under Zemplén conditions. Five pyranose examples, monosaccharides D-glucose and D-galactose and disaccharides cellobiose, maltose, and lactose, were used as donors, and five thiols including an α/ω dithiol and Fmoc-L-cysteine were used as acceptors. Melting points, high res MS, [α]D and NMR data ((1)H and (13)C, including COSY, HSQC and HMBC) are reported for compounds not previously described.

Interconversion between Lewis and Bronsted-Lowry acid sites on vanadia-based catalysts.

Project description:Lewis acid sites (LAS) and Brønsted-Lowry acid sites (BAS) play key roles in many catalytic processes, particularly in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides with ammonia. Here we show that temperature, gas feed, and catalyst composition affect the interplay between LAS and BAS on vanadia-based materials under SCR-relevant conditions. While different LAS typically manifest as a single collective peak in the steady-state spectra, their individual signals could be isolated through the increased sensitivity of transient experimentation. Furthermore, water could increase BAS not just by converting pre-existing LAS, but also by generating spontaneously new acid sites. These results pave the way for understanding the relationship between LAS and BAS, and how their ratio determines the reactivity of vanadia-based catalysts not just in SCR but in other chemical transformations as well.

Atomically dispersed Lewis acid sites boost 2-electron oxygen reduction activity of carbon-based catalysts.

Project description:Elucidating the structure-property relationship is crucial for the design of advanced electrocatalysts towards the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this work, we theoretically and experimentally discovered that atomically dispersed Lewis acid sites (octahedral M-O species, M = aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga)) regulate the electronic structure of adjacent carbon catalyst sites. Density functional theory calculation predicts that the octahedral M-O with strong Lewis acidity regulates the electronic distribution of the adjacent carbon site and thus optimizes the adsorption and desorption strength of reaction intermediate (*OOH). Experimentally, the optimal catalyst (oxygen-rich carbon with atomically dispersed Al, denoted as O-C(Al)) with the strongest Lewis acidity exhibited excellent onset potential (0.822 and 0.526 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode at 0.1 mA cm-2 H2O2 current in alkaline and neutral media, respectively) and high H2O2 selectivity over a wide voltage range. This study provides a highly efficient and low-cost electrocatalyst for electrochemical H2O2 production.

Halloysite Nanotubes as Bimodal Lewis/Bronsted Acid Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds.

Project description:Halloysite nanotubes can be used for the preparation of solid catalysts. Owing to their natural availability at low-cost as well as to their large and easy-to-functionalize surface, they can be conveniently activated with mineral acids or derivatized with acidic groups. Nevertheless, the use of HNTs as catalysts in complex transformations is still limited. Herein, we report two strategies to utilize HNT-based materials as solid acidic catalysts for the Biginelli reaction. To this aim, two methods for increasing the number of acidic sites on the HNTs were explored: (i) the treatment with piranha solution (Pir-HNTs) and (ii) the functionalization with phenylboronic acid (in particular with benzene-1,4-diboronic acid: the sample is denoted as HNT-BOA). Interestingly, both strategies enhance the performance of the multicomponent reaction. Pir-HNTs and HNT-BOA show an increased reactivity (72% and 89% yield, respectively) in comparison with pristine HNTs (52%). Additionally, Pir-HNTs can be reused up to five times without significant performance loss. Moreover, the method also displays good reaction scope, as demonstrated by the preparation of 12 different 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones in up to 71% yield. Therefore, the described strategies are promising for enhancing the acidity of the HNTs as catalysts for the organic reaction.

Iron catalyzed CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to formate enhanced by Lewis acid co-catalysts.

Project description:A family of iron(ii) carbonyl hydride complexes supported by either a bifunctional PNP ligand containing a secondary amine, or a PNP ligand with a tertiary amine that prevents metal-ligand cooperativity, were found to promote the catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to formate in the presence of Brønsted base. In both cases a remarkable enhancement in catalytic activity was observed upon the addition of Lewis acid (LA) co-catalysts. For the secondary amine supported system, turnover numbers of approximately 9000 for formate production were achieved, while for catalysts supported by the tertiary amine ligand, nearly 60 000 turnovers were observed; the highest activity reported for an earth abundant catalyst to date. The LA co-catalysts raise the turnover number by more than an order of magnitude in each case. In the secondary amine system, mechanistic investigations implicated the LA in disrupting an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the PNP ligand N-H moiety and the carbonyl oxygen of a formate ligand in the catalytic resting state. This destabilization of the iron-bound formate accelerates product extrusion, the rate-limiting step in catalysis. In systems supported by ligands with the tertiary amine, it was demonstrated that the LA enhancement originates from cation assisted substitution of formate for dihydrogen during the slow step in catalysis.

Catalytic preparation of levulinic acid from cellobiose via Bronsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids functional catalysts.

Project description:Brønsted-Lewis acidic ionic liquids (ILs) were applied to catalyze cellobiose to prepare levulinic acid (LA) in one pot under hydrothermal conditions. Under the optimum conditions, the highest LA yield of 67.51% was obtained when low [HO3S-(CH2)3-mim]Cl-FeCl3 (molar fraction of FeCl3 x = 0.60) was used. This indicated the Brønsted-Lewis acidic ILs played an active role in the conversion of cellobiose to LA. The catalytic mechanism of ILs had been established, disclosing that the Brønsted-Lewis acidic ILs had the catalytic synergistic effect originating from its double acid sites. During the reaction process, the Lewis acid sites improved the isomerization of glucose to fructose, then the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites simultaneously enhanced the dehydration of fructose to produce hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which was propitious to the synthesize LA with high yield. In addition, LA could be easily extracted by methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and the ILs could retain its basic activity after 5 cycles. The solid residues were characterized using SEM, FT-IR and TG-DTG spectroscopy. It was the conclusion that a large amount of humins were produced during the cellobiose conversion process. In this reaction, the ILs not only overcomes the problems of the conventional catalyst, but also completes the reaction-separation integration and the recycling of the catalyst. This paper provided an important theoretical basis for the application of ILs in the field of biomass.
