1987

1,2,3-Trimethylindol (2) liefert mit Benzaldehyden die Kondensationsprodukte 5 und 6, wahrend aus den NH-Indolen 1 und 3 die Verbindungen 7 und 8 entstehen. Proton-catalyzed Aralkylation of 1,2,3-Trimethylindole and 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrocarbazole with Arylaldehydes Reaction of 1,2,3-trimethylindole (2) with benzaldehydes leads to the condensation compounds 5 and 6, the NH-indoles 1 and 3, however, give 7 and 8.

Aminosäureester als chirale Hilfsgruppen in Lewis-Säure-katalysierten Diels-Alder-Reaktionen

1990

Amino Acid Esters as Chiral Auxiliaries in Lewis Acid Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reactions Cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene and alkyl-substituted butadienes react with N-acryloyl-, N-crotonoyl- and N-(4-nitro-cinnamoyl)-(S)-proline benzyl and allyl ester in the presence of Lewis acids to give the cycloadducts in high yields and with stereoselectivities of up to 97:3 for the endo isomers. The sense of the asymmetric induction in these reactions can be directed by the use of differently coordinating catalysts (e.g. TiCl4: (2R):(2S) = 96:4; EtAlCl2: (2R):(2S) = 10:90 at 0°C). In the TiCl4-catalyzed reactions with the fumaric acid derivatives the ratio of the diastereomers reaches values of up to 112…

Can Macroscopic Parameters, Such as Conversion and Selectivity, Distinguish between Different Cracking Mechanisms on Acid Catalysts?

1997

n-heptane cracking has been carried out for very short time periods on an established reaction mechanism which includes the following group of stream reactions on different zeolites: Initiation reactions (protolytic cracking), charge isomerization, chain isomerization, hydride transfer, β-scission–alkylation, desorption–adsorption, and hydrogen transfer–cyclization. It has been observed that a given experimental distribution of products can be explained by more than just one reaction scheme. This does not allow one to clearly distinguish the fraction of reactant which disappears via monomolecular initiation reactions with respect to bimolecular hydride transfer reactions.

Acid-mediated reaction of bis(pyridine)iodonium(I) tetrafluoroborate with aromatic compounds. A selective and general iodination method

1993

Reaction of aromatic compounds with bis(pyridine)iodonium(I) tetrafluoroborate (IPy2BF4) in the presence of HBF4 or CF3SO3H in CH2Cl2 at room temperature furnishes monoiodo derivatives with excellent regioselectivity and yields. Use of either acid gives comparable results with activated aromatics, whereas CF3SO3H is much more effective in the iodination of deactivated aromatics. © 1993 American Chemical Society.

Simultaneous production of furfural and levulinic acid from pine sawdust via acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerization and microwave irradiation

2019

In this work pine sawdust was converted into levulinic acid (LA) and furfural. Sawdust was first pre-treated with sulfuric acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerization. The conversion reactions were then performed with microwave heating at 180 °C. To enhance the furfural yield and the efficient separation of furfural and LA, a biphasic water-toluene reaction system was used. The effect of an additional catalyst, AlCl3, on the yield of LA and furfural was also studied. According to the results the pre-treatment method enhanced the yields of LA. In addition, due to the microwave heating the reaction times were short. Additional AlCl3 catalyst enhanced the LA yield, however excellent furfural yi…

Characterisation of humic substances by acid catalysed transesterification

2002

Abstract The chemical composition of low molecular weight moieties linked to the core structures of humic substances (HS) are of substantial importance for the understanding of the chemical structures and mode of interactions of HS with other substances in the environment. In this study a novel approach to characterise certain low molecular weight compounds bound to HS is suggested. The method includes transesterification (TE) of ester and amide bound structures, and esterification (E) of free carboxylic groups using acid catalysed methanolysis followed by gas chromatography (GC)–mass spectrometry (MS) and GC-FID analysis. Methanolysis of five HS of different origin, demonstrated the presen…

A density functional theory study for the Diels–Alder reaction between N-acyl-1-aza-1,3-butadienes and vinylamines. Lewis acid catalyst and solvent e…

2002

Abstract The molecular mechanism for the Diels–Alder reaction of N-acyl-1-aza-1,3-butadiene with dimethylvinylamine has been studied using density functional theory methods. This cycloaddition is the nucleophilic attack of the vinylamine to the conjugate position of the unsaturated acyl imine with concomitant ring-closure. The presence of a Lewis acid catalyst coordinated to the acyl oxygen atom decreases markedly the activation energy associated to the nucleophilic attack. This results from an increasing of the electrophilicity of the 1-aza-1,3-butadiene that shift the mechanism from a highly asynchronous concerted process to a polar stepwise one.

Density functional theory study of the Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of nitroalkenes with vinyl ethers using aluminum derivatives

2002

The inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction of nitroalkenes with vinyl ethers catalyzed by Lewis acids based on aluminum metal, AlMe3, Al(OMe)3 and AlCl3 was studied using density functional theory methods. A continuum model was selected to represent the effects of dichloromethane used as solvent. For this cycloaddition reaction two reactive channels corresponding to the endo and exo approach modes of the vinyl ether to the Lewis acid-coordinated nitroalkene were studied. Coordination of the aluminum metal to an oxygen atom of the nitroalkene increases the electrophilicity of the heterodiene, decreasing the activation energy of the cycloaddition. The substitution effect on the aluminum…

Exploring the potential of some yeast strains in the stereoselective synthesis of aldol reaction products and its reduced 1,3-dialcohol derivatives

2013

Abstract The behavior of two yeast strains has been studied under different conditions. Both microorganims catalyzed the aldol reaction between activated aldehydes and acetone when a large amount of the latter was present in the reaction medium producing, with moderate stereoselectivity, the aldol product with the R configuration. No reduction of any of the products present in the medium was detected. On the other hand, the carbonyl group of the racemic aldol was reduced to produce chiral 1,3-dialcohol derivatives when water was employed as the only solvent. In this case, the resolution of the racemic starting material was also possible with one of the biocatalysts, and the aldol was recove…
