- Photoinduced Iron-Catalyzed ipso-Nitration of Aryl Halides via Single-Electron Transfer
-
A photoinduced iron-catalyzed ipso-nitration of aryl halides with KNO2 has been developed, in which aryl iodides, bromides, and some of aryl chlorides are feasible. The mechanism investigations show that the in situ formed iron complex by FeSO4, KNO2, and 1,10-phenanthroline acts as the light-harvesting photocatalyst with a longer lifetime of the excited state, and the reaction undergoes a photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) process. This work represents an example for the photoinduced iron-catalyzed Ullmann-type couplings.

- Hydrophobic WO3/SiO2 catalyst for the nitration of aromatics in liquid phase
-
WO3/SiO2 solid acid catalyst synthesized using sol gel method has shown promising activity (up to 65% conversion) for aromatic nitration in liquid phase using commercial nitric acid (70%) as nitrating agent without using any sulfuric acid. The water formed during the reaction as well as water from dilute nitric acid (70%) was removed azeotropically, however due to the hydrophilic nature of the catalyst, some water gets strongly adsorbed on catalyst surface forming a barrier layer between catalyst and organics. This prevents effective adsorption of substrate on catalyst surface for its subsequent reaction. To improve the activity further, the hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature of the catalyst was altered by post modification by grafting with commercial short chain organosilane (Dynasylan 9896). The modified 20% WO3/SiO2 catalyst when used for o-xylene nitration in liquid phase, showed significant increase in the conversion from 65% to 80% under identical reaction conditions. Catalyst characterization revealed decrease in the surface area of 20% WO3/SiO2 from 356 m2/g to 302 m2/g after grafting with Dynasylan 9896. The fine dispersion of WO3 particles (2–5 nm) on silica support was not affected due to modification. NMR and FTIR study revealed the decrease in surface hydroxyl groups imparting hydrophobicity to the catalyst. Interestingly the total acidic sites of the catalyst remained almost unaltered (0.54 mmol NH3/g) even after modification. Even though, the acidity and other characteristics of the catalyst did not change appreciably, there was a considerable increase in the o-xylene conversion which can be ascribed to the hydrophobic nature of the catalyst.

- Continuous-Flow Nitration of o-Xylene: Effect of Nitrating Agent and Feasibility of Tubular Reactors for Scale-Up
-
Continuous-flow nitration of o-xylene has been studied with different nitrating agents over a wide range of conditions for different parameters such as temperature, residence time, and concentrations. A nitrating mixture comprising sulfuric acid and fuming nitric acid was seen to yield higher selectivity for the isomer 1,2-dimethyl-3-nitrobenzene over the isomer 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene and also a non-negligible quantity of dinitro derivatives of o-xylene. With only fuming nitric acid as the nitrating agent, the reaction was selective for 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene over 1,2-dimethyl-3-nitrobenzene. Impurities mainly come from nitration of mononitro derivatives, and this occurs more from nitration of the 3-nitro isomer because of its higher reactivity with nitric acid. An economic analysis of the continuous-flow reactor for the production of 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene at 100 and 500 kg/h in a jacketed tubular reactor showed that numbering-up is a more economical approach for higher production capacity. A combination of large- and small-sized tubes depending upon the relative rates of heat generation during a reaction will achieve more profit and a shorter payback period than having the entire reactor made of a single tube size.

Nitration with nitric acid and acetic anhydride via acetyl nitrate as nitrating species is efficient with the substrate m-xylene as solvent. Zeolite Hβ with an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 500 was found to be the most active of the catalysts tried both in yield and regioselectivity in the nitration of m-xylene. The molecular volume of the reactants was calculated with the Gaussian 09 program at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d, p) level and compared with the size of the zeolite Hβ channels. A range of other substrates were subjected to the nitrating system under the same conditions as those optimized for m-xylene and excellent selectivity was obtained.

-
A convenient and modular synthesis involving diastereoselective Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was carried out to furnish 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles of Ludartin. This reaction scheme involving Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction leading to the formation of triazolyl analogs is being reported for the first time. All the triazolyl products were characterised using spectral data analysis. Sulphorhodamine B cytotoxicity screening of the resulting products against a panel of five human cancerous cell-lines revealed that few of the analogs display promising broad spectrum cytotoxic effect. Among all the synthesized compounds, only 3q displayed the best cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 12, 11, 38, 39 and 8.5 μM but less than the standard Ludartin (1) with IC50 values of 6.3, 7.4, 7.5, 6.9 and 0.5 μM against human neuroblastoma (T98G), lung (A-549), prostate (PC-3), colon (HCT-116) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, respectively. The present synthesis was designed based on the previous literature reports of Ludartin as an aromatase inhibitor. Our work provides an initial study on structure-activity relationship of triazolyl analogs of sesquiterpene lactones in general and Ludartin (1) in particular.

Nitration of o-xylene with nitrogen dioxide imparts remarkable selectivity to 4-nitro-o-xylene. The addition of Br?nsted acids and Lewis acids can effectively improve the selectivity for 4-nitro-o-xylene and/or yield, and the Lewis acids present a better influence on the reactions than Br?nsted acids do. A 71% yield of mononitro-o-xylene with high selectivity for 4-nitro-o-xylene (ratio 4-/3- / 3.91) has been achieved by the assistance of bismuth trichloride under solvent-free conditions. Copyright

A series of micro- and nanosulfated zirconia loaded on Fe3O 4 or other metal oxides (SO42-/ZrO 2-MxOy-Fe3O4 (M=Ti 4+, V5+, and Zn2+)) was prepared, characterized, and used in nitration. The nitration conditions with these solid superacids were then optimized to achieve the best regioselectivity and improve the performances of the catalysts as well. In the experimental results, SZTF (SO42-/ZrO2-TiO2-Fe 3O4) showed excellent catalytic activity and it increased the surface area of SO42-/ZrO2 by up to 15 %. The increase not only facilitated the generation of NO2+, but also provided more opportunities for metal ions to interact with aromatic compounds. With chlorobenzene as substrate, theoretical research on its geometric parameters, electron clouds, and electron spin density was used to investigate the interaction between transition metals and chlorobenzene.

Then, with chlorobenzene as substrate, theoretical studies were performed to investigate the interaction between transition metals and chlorobenzene. The results showed that the excellent para-selectivity was closely relative to the metal ion in these solid acids.

- TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxide supported MoO3 catalyst: Physicochemical characterization and activities in nitration of phenol
-
12 wt% MoO3/TiO2-SiO2 solid acid catalyst was prepared and calcined at various temperatures. The calcined catalyst was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, BET, SEM, NH3-TPD and pyridine adsorbed FT-IR methods. The effect of calcination temperature on activity of catalyst was studied by choosing liquid phase nitration of phenol as a model reaction. For the same reaction effect of various solvents, effect of reaction time and reusability of the catalyst was also studied. Catalyst calcined at 500 °C temperature showed highest phenol conversion whereas greater o-nitrophenol selectivity is claimed over catalyst calcined at 700 °C. It was observed that high phenol conversion co-relates with the presence of greater number of strong Bro?nsted acid sites over the catalyst surface whereas the selectivity of o-nitrophenol is related to the pore size of the catalysts. No use of sulfuric acid along with the nitric acid used in its diluted form in the reaction makes the process safe and environmentally friendly.

- A novel method for the nitration of simple aromatic compounds
-
Simple aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkylbenzenes, halogenobenzenes, and some disubstituted benzenes are nitrated in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions using zeolite β as a catalyst and a stoichiometric quantity of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The zeolite can be recycled, and the only byproduct is acetic acid, which can be separated easily from the nitration product by distillation; the process is inexpensive and represents an attractive method for the clean synthesis of a range of nitroaromatic compounds. For example, nitration of toluene gives a quantitative yield of mononitrotoluenes, of which 79% is 4-nitrotoluene; fluorobenzene gives a quantitative yield of mononitro compounds, of which 94% is 4-nitrofluorobenzene; and 2-fluorotoluene gives a 96% yield of mononitro products, of which 90% is the 5-nitro isomer and 10% is the 4-nitro isomer.

- Direct Nitrosation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Ethers with the Electrophilic Nitrosonium Cation
-
Various polymethylbenzenes and anisoles are selectively nitrosated with the electrophilic nitrosonium salt NO(1+)BF4(1-) in good conversions and yields under mild conditions in which the conventional procedure (based on nitrile neutralization with strong acid) is ineffective.The reactivity patterns in acetonitrile deduced from the various time/conversions in Tables 2 and 3 indicate that aromatic nitrosation is distinctly different from those previously established for electrophilic aromatic nitration.The contrasting behavior of NO(1+) in aromatic nitrosation is ascribed to a rate-limiting deprotonation of the reversibly formed Wheland intermediate, which in the case of aromatic nitration with NO2(1+) occurs with no deuterium kinetic isotope effect.Aromatic nitroso derivatives (unlike the nitro counterpart) are excellent electron donors that are subject to a reversible one-electron oxidation at positive potentials significantly less than that of the parent polymethylbenzene or anisole.As a result, the series of nitrosobenzenes are also much better Broensted bases than the corresponding nitro derivatives, and this marked distinction, therefore, accounts for the large differentiation in the deprotonation rates of their respective conjugate acids (i.e.Wheland intermediates).

Aromatic hydrocarbons (ArH) are readily nitrated by nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in dichloromethane at room temperature and below (in the dark).The red colors, transiently observed, arise from the metastable precursor complex NO3(1-), which is formed in the prior disproportionation of nitrogen dioxide induced by the aromatic donor (eq 7).The deliberate irradiation of the diagnostic (red) charge-transfer absorption band (hνCT) of NO3(1-) at low temperatures results directly in aromatic nitration, even at -78 deg C, where the thermal nitration is too slow to complete.The mechanism of the photochemical (charge-transfer) nitration is established by time-resolved laser spectroscopy to proceed via the aromatic cation radical (ArH.+) formed spontaneously upon the charge-transfer excitation of NO3(1-) in Scheme 1.The related thermal activation of NO3(1-) derives from the adiabatic electron transfer that produces the same radical pair as the reactive intermediate in Scheme 3.The close relationship between the thermal/photochemical nitrations with nitrogen dioxide and those conventionally carried out with nitric acid (in the presence of nitrous acid) is delineated by Scheme 4.

- Ozone-mediated Nitration of Alkylbenzenes and Related Compounds with Nitrogen Dioxide
-
In the presence of ozone, nitrogen dioxide exhibits a strong nitrating ability for alkylbenzenes at low temperatures, converting them into the corresponding nitro derivatives in high yield.The addition of a protonic acid as catalyst enhances considerably the ability of this nitrating system and leads to a good yield of polynitro compounds.The reaction is clean and proceeds rapidly without any accompanying side-chain substitution or aryl-aryl coupling.It shows no kinetic dependence on the concentration of substrates and, as far as can be judged from relative reactivities and isomer distributions of products, it gives the appearance of being an electrophilic aromatic process.A possible role for nitrogen trioxide has been suggested as the initial electrophilic agent for the nitration of alkylbenzenes.

- REGIOSELECTIVE NITRATION OF AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS BY METALLIC NITRATES ON THE K10 MONTMORILLONITE UNDER MENKE CONDITIONS
-
Aromatic hydrocarbons are nitrated with good regioselectivities by clay-supported cupric nitrate in the presence of acetic anhydride.The procedure commends itself by its simplicity and gives useful yields (75-98percent).In each case, the predominant product can be predicted by consideration of the Hueckel HOMO for the aromatic ring.

- ipso Nitration. XXVI. Nitration of 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene. Formation and reactions of adducts
-
Nitration of 1,2-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene in a mixture of acetic anhydride and trifluoroacetic anhydride gives the diastereoisomers of 4,5-dimethyl-2,4-dinitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl acetate (50percent), in addition to the 1,2-dimethyldinitrobenzenes.In moderate and more strongly acid conditions the adduct gives 4-nitro-, 3,4-dinitro-, and 3,5-dinitro-o-xylene.In neutral and weakly acid solutions 4-nitro- and 3,5-dinitro-o-xylene are formed by a radical and a sigmatropic pathway.The adduct reacts facilely with nucleophiles by allylic substitution to give a 5,6-dimethyl-6-nitrocyclohexa-2,4-dienyl derivative which, in many instances, undergoes a second allylic substitution to a new 4,5-dimethyl-2,4-dinitrocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl derivative.Depending on the nature of the introduced substituent, these 2,4- and 2,5-dienyl products may eliminate nitrous acid, under the reaction conditions, to give the corresponding aromatic compound.The dienyl acetates undergo acid-catalysed transesterification to the corresponding dienols.

- Aromatic Substitution. 48. Boron Trifluoride Catalyzed Nitration of Aromatics with Silver Nitrate in Acetonitrile Solution
-
Benzene, alkylbenzenes, halobenzenes, and anisole were nitrated with silver nitrate/boron trifluoride in acetonitrile solution.Correlation of competitive rates with ?- and ?-complex stabilities indicated that the transition state of highest energy lies relatively early on the reaction coordinate.Data indicate that nitrations occur via a polarized complex of the nitrating agent, with the catalyst undergoing nucleophilic displacement by the aromatic substrate.

- Photooxidation of o-Xylene in the NO-H2O-Air System
-
The reaction products in the photooxidation of o-xylene were analyzed by a new gas chromatograph/photoionization mass spectrometer.There were two types of reaction products, i.e., high- and low-boiling point products.Tolualdehyde, dimethylphenols, and dimethylnitrobenzene were the main high-boiling point products and formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and biacetyl were identified as low-boiling point products.The ratio of the total amount of high-boiling point products formed to the amount of o-xylene consumed was about 17percent.On the other hand, the low-boiling point products collected amounted to about 45percent of the o-xylene consumed.The reaction mechanisms and the importance of the cleavage reaction of the aromatic ring were discussed.
