New heterogeneous catalysts for greener routes in the synthesis of fine chemicals
2007
Abstract New strong Lewis acid SnTf-MCM-41 and SnTf-UVM-7 catalysts with unimodal and bimodal pore systems were prepared in a two-step synthesis in which the triflic acid (Tf) was incorporated to previously synthesized mesoporous tin-containing silicas. The Sn incorporation inside the pore walls was carried out through the Atrane method. The SnTf-UVM-7 catalysts were prepared by aggregating nanometric mesoporous particles defining a hierarchic textural-type additional pore system. Following these procedures, catalysts with different Si/Sn ratios—21.8 to 50.8 for SnTf-MCM-41 and 18.4 for SnTf-UVM-7—were prepared. These new materials were tested in the acylation of aromatic sulfonamides using…
Dirhodium(II) compounds with bridging thienylphosphines: studies on reversible P,C/P,S coordination.
2009
Monocyclometalated compound [Rh(2){(C(8)H(4)S)P(C(8)H(5)S)(2)}(CH(3)CO(2)H)(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(3)] (1 a) and bis-cyclometalated compound [Rh(2){(C(8)H(4)S)P(C(8)H(5)S)(2)}(2)(CH(3)CO(2)H)(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(2)] (2 a) have been isolated from the reaction of dirhodium tetraacetate and tris(2-benzo[b]thienyl)phosphine (2 BTP) using low acidic solutions. By contrast, in pure acetic acid the reaction of Rh(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(4) with 2 BTP and tris(2-thienyl)phosphine (2 TP), followed by replacement of the axial acetate ligands by chlorides, led to [Rh(2){(2-C(8)H(5)S)P(2-C(8)H(5)S)(2)}(2)Cl(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(2)] (3 b) and [Rh(2){(2-C(4)H(3)S)P(C(4)H(3)S)(2)}(2)Cl(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(2)] (5 b), respectively. These n…
Direct observation and thermal transformations of dications derived from dibenzotropylium ions
1992
Abstract Carboxylic acid 1 and its derivatives 2 , 3 treated with triflic acid below −20°C afford the dications 1H 2+2- 3H 2+2. Cyclodehydration above 20°C (or in the gas-phase, CIMS of 3 ) leads to the diprotonated ketone 4H 2+2.
On the regioselectivity of the Friedländer reaction leading to huprines: stereospecific acid-promoted isomerization of syn-huprines to their anti-reg…
2001
Abstract Racemic 12-amino-6,7,8,11-tetrahydro-7,11-methanocycloocta[ b ]quinoline derivatives ( syn -huprines) substituted at the 9-position with a methyl or ethyl group, and both enantioenriched forms of the 9-ethyl derivative, obtained by chiral MPLC resolution of the racemic mixture, were readily converted to the corresponding anti -isomers (huprines) by stereospecific acid-promoted (AlCl 3 or triflic acid) isomerization of the endocyclic CC double bond from the 9(10)- to the 8(9)-position. These results support the hypothesis that the hitherto unseen syn -huprines are also formed under the usual acidic Friedlander reaction conditions used to prepare the known huprines, but rearrange in…
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic behavior of AlTf/UVM-7 as new green catalysts for the glycols etherification reactions
2010
Abstract Bimodal porous Al–UVM-7 system materials with different Si-to-Al ratios were prepared using the Atrane route. These were converted in strong acid heterogeneous AlTf-based catalysts after the treatment with methanolic solutions of triflic acid. The materials so obtained were used as catalysts for the conversion of ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene glycol (PG) with octanol under solvent-free conditions. The process is selective to short ethoxylated structures resulting in the corresponding monoethers. While the conversion of EG and PG was very high (>94%) irrespective of the support characteristics, 1-octanol was transformed only in low degree (3–35%), and its conversion depends on …
AlTf-UVM-7—Highly active catalysts for the synthesis of long chain symmetrical ethers and non-ionic surfactant structures
2010
New Lewis acid AlTf-UVM-7 catalysts with bimodal pore system and different Si to Al ratios were prepared in a two-step synthesis in which triflic acid (Tf) was incorporated into previously synthesized mesoporous aluminum-containing silica. The Al incorporation inside the pore walls was carried out through the Atrane method. The characterization of the resulted catalysts showed that the triflic acid treatment step did not damage the texture or the structure of the catalysts. These materials were used as green catalysts for the etherification of fatty alcohols and the conversion of ethylene glycol (EG) with n-octanol resulting in mixtures of short ethoxylated structures with a large distribut…
