- Synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and CO2under low pressure
-
A mild and highly efficient approach has been developed for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and CO2 under low initial pressure. The key to a successful transformation is the use of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), CH2Br2 and ionic liquid. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the yield of DMC was obtained up to 81% under 0.25 MPa. The direct synthesis of DMC can be carried out at balloon pressure using CH2Br2 and DBU. In this case, after the reaction, DBU was proved to be recyclable after having been treated with KOH in ethanol. In addition, a plausible mechanism for this synthetic reaction was proposed according to the experimental results.

- Carbamate Synthesis Using a Shelf-Stable and Renewable C1 Reactant
-
4-Propylcatechol carbonate is a shelf-stable, renewable C1 reactant. It is easily prepared from renewable 4-propylcatechol (derived from wood) and dimethyl carbonate (derived from CO2) using a reactive distillation system. In this work, the 4-propylcatechol carbonate is used for the two-step synthesis of carbamates under mild reaction conditions. In the first step, 4-propylcatechol carbonate is treated with an alcohol at 50–80 °C in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as Zn(OAc)2?2 H2O. With liquid alcohols, no solvent is used and with solid alcohols 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is used as solvent. In the second step, the alkyl 2-hydroxy-propylphenyl carbonate intermediates obtained react with amines at room temperature in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, forming the target carbamates and the byproduct 4-propylcatechol, which can be recycled into a carbonate reactant.

- Carbon Dioxide Utilisation for the Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Dialkyl and Cyclic Carbonates Promoted by Basic Ionic Liquids
-
An efficient and greener synthesis of unsymmetrical organic carbonates mediated by Hünig's base-appended basic ionic liquids, via carbon dioxide conversion, is described here. These ionic liquids were found to be effective bases for the fixation of carbon dioxide by various alcohols and benzyl bromide, at room temperature. When the alcohol and the halide functionalities are present within the same substrate, the reaction cleanly produces a cyclic carbonate. These functionalised basic ionic liquids were fully recyclable with no loss product yields.

- Ionic liquids/ZnO nanoparticles as recyclable catalyst for polycarbonate depolymerization
-
A useful protocol for waste bis-phenol A-polycarbonates (BPA-PC) chemical recycling is proposed based on a bifunctional acid/basic catalyst composed by nanostructured zinc oxide and tetrabutylammonium chloride (ZnO-NPs/NBu4Cl) in quality of Lewis acid and base, respectively. Retro-polymerization reaction proved to be of general application for several nucleophiles, including water, alcohols, amines, polyols, aminols and polyamines, leading to the complete recovery of BPA monomer and enabling the PC polymer to function as a green carbonylating agent (green phosgene alternative) for preparing carbonates, urethanes and ureas. A complete depolymerization can be obtained in seven hours at 100 °C and ZnO nanocatalyst can be recycled several times without sensible loss of activity. Remarkably, when polycarbonate is reacted with glycerol, it is possible to realize in a single process the conversion of two industrial wastes (BPA-PC and glycerol) into two valuable chemicals like BPA monomer and glycerol carbonate (the latter being a useful industrial solvent and fuel additive).

Abstract: A series of tetraalkylammonium catalysts immobilized on polystyrene or carbon nanotubes were investigated in a reaction between alkyl halides, amines, and CO2. The yield of carbamates was up to 85?% at 100?°C and 1?MPa of CO2 after 3?h (first stage 25?°C, 1 h) in the presence of Cs2CO3 and DMF as a solvent. The best results were achieved in the case of large ammonium substituents (C4 and C6) in the catalyst, benzyl amine, and benzyl chloride as reagents. The catalysts retained their activity after at least five cycles when carefully dried between cycles. Both polymer and carbon nanotube supports were equally effective, but the latter were less prone to deactivation. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Silver(I)-Catalyzed Three-Component Reaction of Propargylic Alcohols, Carbon Dioxide and Monohydric Alcohols: Thermodynamically Feasible Access to β-Oxopropyl Carbonates
-
A silver(I)-catalyzed three-component reaction of propargylic alcohols, CO2, and monohydric alcohols was successfully developed for the synthesis of β-oxopropyl carbonates. As such, a series of β-oxopropyl carbonates were exclusively produced in excellent yields (up to 98 %), even under atmospheric pressure of CO2. The silver catalyst works efficiently for both the carboxylative cyclization of propargylic alcohols with CO2 and subsequent transesterification of α-alkylidene cyclic carbonates with monohydric alcohols; thus this tandem process performs smoothly under mild conditions. This work provides a versatile and thermodynamically favorable approach to dissymmetric dialkyl carbonates.

- Highly active and reusable ternary oxide catalyst for dialkyl carbonates synthesis
-
The application of ternary oxides, prepared through calcination of rare-earth modified Mg/Al-hydrotalcite (HT), as highly active, selective, and reusable solid catalysts for dialkyl carbonates synthesis by transesterification reaction is reported. Dimethyl carbonate, for example, was prepared by reacting ethylene carbonate with methanol in 100 mol% selectivity at a yield of 95 mol%. Among several rare-earth modified precursors, La (10 mol%)-HT showed the highest activity. This catalyst was active even at ambient conditions. Basicity of the catalyst played crucial role on its performance. The activity of these catalysts was superior to the hitherto known solid catalysts for this reaction.

- Organic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and alcohol over CeO 2 with 2-cyanopyridine: Scope and mechanistic studies
-
The combination system of CeO2-catalyzed carboxylation and 2-cyanopyridine hydration (CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine system) is effective for the direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 and alcohols. This catalyst system can be applied to various alcohols to afford the corresponding carbonates in high alcohol-based yields. The hydration of 2-cyanopyridine over CeO2 rapidly proceeds under the low concentration of water, which can remove the water from the reaction media. Since the reaction is limited by the chemical equilibrium, the removal of water remarkably shifts the chemical equilibrium to the carbonate side, leading to high carbonate yields. In addition, 2-picolinamide that is produced by hydration of 2-cyanopyridine forms an intramolecular hydrogen bonding between H atom of the amide group and N atom of the pyridine ring, which weakens the adsorption of 2-picolinamide on CeO2 by reduction of the acidity. The reaction mechanism of DMC formation in CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine system is also proposed.

Methyl carbamates were obtained in good to moderate yields when aliphatic hydroxamic acids were employed in this catalytic Lossen rearrangement; under the same conditions aromatic hydroxamic acids yielded anilines. Notably, the mixture of DMC/methanol was recycled several times without observing decreased yields, thus minimizing the produced waste. Moreover, several other organic carbonates were successfully employed in the introduced catalytic Lossen rearrangement procedure. Copyright

- Selective catalytic etherification of glycerol formal and solketal with dialkyl carbonates and K2CO3
-
At T ≥ 200 °C, in the presence of K2CO3 as a catalyst, an original etherification procedure of non-toxic acetals such as glycerol formal (GlyF) and solketal has been investigated by using dialkyl carbonates as safe alkylating agents. The effects of parameters including the temperature, the reaction time, and the loading of both the catalyst and the dialkyl carbonate have been detailed for the model case of dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Both GlyF and solketal were efficiently alkylated by DMC to produce the corresponding O-methyl ethers with selectivity up to 99% and excellent yields (86-99%, by GC). The high selectivity could be accounted for by a mechanistic study involving a combined sequence of methylation, carboxymethylation, decarboxylation and hydrolysis processes. The O-methylation of GlyF and solketal could be successfully scaled up for multigram synthesis even operating with a moderate excess (5 molar equiv.) of DMC and in the absence of additional solvent. Notwithstanding the advantageous reduction of the process mass index, scale up experiments provided evidence that prolonged reaction times may induce the decomposition of DMC mainly by the loss of CO2. The K 2CO3-catalyzed etherification of solketal with other carbonates such as dibenzyl and diethyl carbonate (DBnC and DEC, respectively), proceeded with the same good selectivity observed for DMC. However, at 220 °C, the solketal conversion did not exceed 81% since both DBnC and DEC were extensively consumed in competitive decarboxylation and hydrolysis reactions.

- Carbonate, acetate and phenolate phosphonium salts as catalysts in transesterification reactions for the synthesis of non-symmetric dialkyl carbonates
-
Methyl trioctylphosphonium methyl carbonate [P8881] +[MeOCO2]- was prepared by the alkylation of trioctyl phosphine with the non-toxic dimethyl carbonate. This salt was a convenient source to synthesize different ionic liquids where the methyl trioctylphosphonium cation was coupled to weakly basic anions such as bicarbonate, acetate, and phenolate. At 90-220 °C, all these compounds [P8881]+X-; X = MeOCO2; HOCO 2; AcO; PhO were excellent organocatalysts for the transesterification of dimethyl and diethyl carbonate with primary and secondary alcohols, including benzyl alcohol, cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol, and the rather sterically hindered menthol. Conditions were optimized to operate with very low catalyst loadings up to 1 mol% and to obtain non-symmetric dialkyl carbonates (ROCO2R′; R = Me, Et) with selectivity up to 99% and isolated yields >90%. The catalytic performance of the investigated ionic liquids was discussed through a cooperative mechanism of simultaneous activation of both electrophilic and nucleophilic reactants.

- TBD catalysis with dimethyl carbonate: A fruitful and sustainable alliance
-
This work presents the synthesis of unsymmetric and symmetric organic carbonates as well as the synthesis of polycarbonates in an efficient and sustainable approach. All reactions were carried out at atmospheric pressure at 80°C and the use of classic toxic and harmful chemicals, such as phosgene and carbon monoxide, was avoided. The key finding of this manuscript is that the use of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene, TBD, an organocatalyst, in combination with dimethyl carbonate (DMC), a non-toxic and renewable starting material, allows the synthesis of the mentioned unsymmetric carbonates in yields of up to 98% under optimized conditions. The structure of the alcohols used for this approach was found to influence the DMC-ROH ratio required to maximize the yield of the desired structure. Finally, the results obtained for the synthesis of low molecular weight building blocks could be transferred to the catalytic synthesis of high molecular weight polycarbonates.

A number of carbamates were synthesised through a halogen-free process by reacting amines with symmetrical and unsymmetrical carbonates. The results obtained showed a specific trend of preferred leaving groups (in the dialkyl carbonates) depending on whether a catalyst or a base was used. On the other hand, investigations conducted on the preferred entering groups (amines) for the synthesis of carbamates showed the same trend regardless of whether a catalyst or a base was used. Finally, in accordance with the results obtained, it was possible to synthesise sterically hindered carbamates in high yield by transesterification of methyl carbamate with a sterically hindered alcohol.

- Highly efficient Friedel-Crafts-type benzylation via benzyl cations generated in multiple spacer-molecule separated ion-pairs
-
Deamination, as a facile route to highly reactive carbocations, is of interest to several areas of organic chemistry, industry, and medicine. The reactivity and utility of these carbocations derives from the presence of a lone nitrogenous entity (N2or N2O) interposed between the ion-pair. We report here the synthesis of a new deamination precursor whose nitrosation and subsequent decomposition constitutes a novel deamination method. In this novel approach, multiple spacer-molecules are generated in the inter-ion space. The resultant cations are exceedingly reactive but are longer-lived than carbocations derived from standard deaminations. The result is nearly quantitative yields of solvent-derived products from even poorly nucleophilic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and mesitylene.

- Asymmetric total synthesis of sperabillins B and D via lithium amide conjugate addition
-
Diastereoselective conjugate addition of homochiral lithium (R)-N-allyl-N-α-methylbenzylamide to methyl (2E,5E)-hepatadienoate, followed by protecting group manipulation and subsequent iodocyclocarbamation allows a concise route to the core fragment, methyl (3R,5R,6R)-3,6-diamino-5- hydroxyheptanoate, of sperabillins B and D. Differentiation between the C-3 and C-6 primary amino groups of this core amino acid was readily achieved by treatment with acetone, giving the 5,6-isopropylidene and C-3-imine protected diamine, with subsequent regioselective acylation of the C-6-nitrogen facilitating the total synthesis of sperabillin D in 10.8% overall yield, and the first asymmetric synthesis of sperabillin B in 5.8% overall yield.

- Enantioselective cyanation/brook rearrangement/C-acylation reactions of acylsilanes catalyzed by chiral metal alkoxides
-
New catalytic enantioselective cyanation/1,2-Brook rearrangement/C- acylation reactions of acylsilanes (4) with cyanoformate esters (7) are described. The products of the reaction are fully substituted malonic acid derivatives (8). Catalysts for this transformation were discovered via a directed candidate screen of 96 metal-ligand complexes. Optimization of a (salen)aluminum complex revealed significant remote electronic effects and concentration effects. The scope of the reaction was investigated by using a number of aryl acylsilanes and cyanoformate esters. Chemoselective reduction of the reaction products (8) afforded new enantioenriched α-hydroxy-α- aryl-β-amino acid derivatives (32-34) and β-lactams (35 and 36). This reaction provides a simple method for the construction of new nitrogen-containing enantioenriched chiral building blocks.

- Catalytic asymmetric acylation of (silyloxy)nitrile anions
-
An enantiopure (salen)aluminum alkoxide complex catalyzes the asymmetric coupling of acylsilanes and cyanoformate esters [Eq. (1), R = Bn, Et]. The reactions afford unsymmetrical, fully protected malonic acid derivatives that may be elaborated to nonnatural β-amino acid derivatives, and represent the first asymmetric catalytic reactions involving protected cyanohydrin anions.

- Method for the production of dibenzyl carbonates
-
Dibenzyl carbonates are prepared by reacting a dialkyl carbonate with a benzyl alcohol in the presence of a basic catalyst and removing the highly volatile components and the catalyst from the reaction mixture. This process permits the preparation of benzyl carbonates in a simple manner, in good yields and without any particular technical safety arrangements.

- Benzyloxy(4-substituted benzyloxy)carbenes. Generation from oxadiazolines and fragmentation to radical pairs in solution
-
Thermolysis of 2,2-dibenzyloxy-5,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazoline in benzene at 110°C leads to dibenzyloxycarbene. The carbene was trapped with tert-butyl alcohol to afford dibenzyl-tert-butyl orthoformate. In the absence of a trapping agent for the carbene, it fragmented to benzyloxycarbonyl and benzyl radicals, as shown by trapping the latter with TEMPO. In the absence of both TEMPO and tert-butyl alcohol, the radicals were partitioned between coupling to benzyl phenylacetate and decarboxylation, with subsequent formation of bibenzyl. The preferred sense of fragmentation of the analogous carbenes from benzyloxy-(p-substituted-benzyloxy)carbenes was determined by comparing the yields of the two possible esters, ArCH2O(CO)CH2Ph and PhCH2O(CO)CH2Ar. It was found that an electron-withdrawing group in the para position favoured fragmentation to the benzylic radical containing that group. A Hammett plot of the data gave a best fit with σ- substituent constants (r = 0.994, ρ((PhH, 110°C) = 0.7)) suggesting that the fragmentation involves charge separation in the sense that increases electron density on the group that is becoming a benzylic radical and decreases electron density on the carbonyl group that is becoming the benzyloxycarbonyl radical.

- Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine revisited. Their reactions with amines and alcohols
-
The reaction of BOC2O in the presence and absence of DMAP was examined with some amines, alcohols, diols, amino alcohols, and aminothiols. Often, unusual products were observed depending on the ratio of reagents, reaction time, polarity of solvent, pK(a) of alcohols, or type of amine (primary or secondary). In reactions of aliphatic alcohols with BOC2O/DMAP, we isolated for the first time carbonic-carbonic anhydride intermediates; this helps explain the formation of symmetrical carbonates in addition to the O-BOC products. In the case of secondary amines, we succeeded to isolate unstable carbamic-carbonic anhydride intermediates that in the presence of DMAP led to the final N-BOC product. The effect of N-methylimidazole in place of DMAP was also examined.

- Cyanocarbonylation of amines with 5-tosyloxyimino-2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxane-4,6-dione
-
5-Tosyloxyimino-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6dione (3), prepared by the reaction of 5-hydroxyimino-2,2dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione sodium salt (2) with tosyl chloride, was treated with various amines (4a-c and 6a,b) in the presence of triethylamine to give the corresponding N-cyanocarbonyl derivatives (5a-c and 7a,b). However, reaction of 3 with benzyl alcohol gave rise to the formation of dibenzyl carbonate (10).
