Reactions at Interfaces: Oxygenation of n-Butyl Ligands Anchored on Silica Surfaces with Methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane
2011
The oxygenation of n-butyl and n-butoxy chains bonded to silica with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1) revealed the ability of the silica matrix to release electron density toward the reacting C(2)-H σ-bond through the Si-C(1) and Si-O(1) σ-bonds connecting the alkyl chain to the surface (silicon β-effect). The silica surface impedes neither the alkyl chain adopting the conformation required for the silicon β-effect nor dioxirane 1 approaching the reactive C(2) methylene group. Reaction regioselectivity is insensitive to changes in the solvation of the reacting system, the location of organic ligands on the silica surface, and the H-bonding character of the silica surface. Reaction rates…
Epoxidation of Olefins with a Silica-Supported Peracid in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide under Flow Conditions
2012
Anhydrous 2-percarboxyethyl-functionalized silica (2b), a recyclable supported peracid, is a suitable reagent to perform the epoxidation of alkenes 1 in supercritical carbon dioxide at 250 bar and 40 °C under flow conditions. This procedure simplifies the isolation of the reaction products and uses only carbon dioxide as a solvent under mild conditions. The solid reagent 2b can be easily recycled by a reaction with 30% hydrogen peroxide in an acid medium.

The inexpensive reagent allows isolation of the products by simply filtering and evaporating the solvent.
Epoxidation of Olefins with a Silica-Supported Peracid
2012
Anhydrous [2-percarboxyethyl] functionalized silica (2a) is an advantageous oxidant for performing the epoxidation of olefins 1. Epoxides 3 do not undergo the ring-opening reactions catalyzed by the acidic silica surface, except for particularly activated cases such as styrene oxide. The hydrophilic and acidic character of the silica surface does not interfere with the directing effects exerted by allylic H-bond acceptor substituents. The alkenes 1 carrying hydroxyl groups react with silica-supported peracid 2a faster than unsubstituted alkenes, thus reversing the trend known for reactions with soluble peracids. These results are attributed to the H-bond interactions of substrate 1 with the…

Oxidation of Sulfides with a Silica-Supported Peracid in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide under Flow Conditions: Tuning Chemoselectivity with Pressure
2010
Supercritical carbon dioxide is a convenient medium for performing the selective oxidation of sulfides 1 to either sulfoxides 2 or sulfones 3 with [2-percarboxyethyl]-functionalized silica (4) under flow conditions. The chemoselectivity of the reaction, which results from the different diffusion rates of sulfide and sulfoxide over the reagent bed, can be controlled by adjusting the pressure and the hydration of the silica surface as both the solvating power of the mobile phase and the surface activity of the stationary phase determine the migration rates of sulfide 1 and sulfoxide 2 over the supported peroxide. The results elucidate the impact of surface phenomena on the course of chemical …
Silica-supported HgSO4/H2SO4: a convenient reagent for the hydration of alkynes under mild conditions
2010
Abstract The silica-supported aqueous-phase catalyst (SAPC) approach has proven convenient for efficiently performing the hydration of alkynes with HgSO 4 /H 2 SO 4 to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds in dichloromethane under mild conditions. The use of this solid reagent significantly improves the reaction work-up as it merely involves filtering and evaporating the solvent.
