Paragraph 0015; 0028, (2021/01/29)
An amide/iminium zwitterion catalyst has a catalyst pocket size that promotes transesterification and dehydrative esterification. The amide/iminium zwitterions are easily prepared by reacting aziridines with aminopyridines. The reaction can be applied a wide variety of esterification processes including the large-scale synthesis of biodiesel. The amide/iminium zwitterions allow the avoidance of strongly basic or acidic condition and avoidance of metal contamination in the products. Reactions are carried out at ambient or only modestly elevated temperatures. The amide/iminium zwitterion catalyst is easily recycled and reactions proceed in high to quantitative yields.

A class of zwitterionic organocatalysts based on an amide anion/iminium cation charge pair has been developed. The zwitterions are easily prepared by reacting aziridines with aminopyridines. They are catalytically applicable to transesterifications and dehydrative esterifications. Mechanistic studies reveal that the amide anion and iminium cation work synergistically in activating the reaction partners, with the iminium cationic moiety interacting with the carbonyl substrates through nonclassical hydrogen bonding. The reaction can be applied to large-scale synthesis of biodiesel under mild conditions.

CeO2 has been found to promote ester forming alcoholysis reactions of tertiary amides. The present catalytic system is operationally simple, recyclable, and it does not require additives. The esterification process displays a wide substrate scope (>45 examples; up to 93 % isolated yield). Results of a density functional theory (DFT) study combined with in situ FT-IR observations indicate that the process proceeds through rate limiting addition of a CeO2 lattice oxygen to the carbonyl group of the adsorbed acetamide species with energy barrier of 17.0 kcal/mol. This value matches well with experimental value (17.9 kcal/mol) obtained from analysis of the Arrhenius plot. Further studies by in situ FT-IR and temperature programmed desorption using probe molecules demonstrate that both acidic and basic properties are important, and consequently, CeO2 showed the best performance for the C?N bond cleavage reaction.

A series of carboxylic acids were converted into their corresponding esters using the Pd/C catalyzed hydrogenation conditions in the presence of catalytic bromobenzene in alcohols and the method could also be applicable for the transesterification of esters. Good to excellent yields were obtained for different aliphatic or aromatic starting materials. The success of this esterification relies on the in situ generation of hydrobromic acid (HBr) from bromobenzene which provides a mild and acidic reaction environment. The palladium catalyst exhibits a remarkable activity and is reusable for up-to three consecutive cycles.

CeO2 acted as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for transesterification of esters with alcohols under the solvent-free conditions at 160 °C. Among the 11 kinds of metal oxides, CeO2 is the most suitable catalyst in terms of catalytic activity, leaching-resistance and reusability. This catalytic system tolerates various esters and alcohols, and valuable esters such as heteroaromatic esters and benzyl benzoates are produced, demonstrating a practical utility of the system. On the basis of kinetic analysis and in situ IR studies of adsorbed species, a reaction mechanism is proposed, in which proton abstraction of alcohol by a Lewis base site of CeO2 to yield alkoxide species is the rate-limiting step.

Thirteen kinds of metal oxides were tested for one-pot selective synthesis of esters from nitriles and alcohols. Ceria (CeO2) showed more than two orders of magnitude higher activity than the other oxides. CeO2 acted as a reusable and effective catalyst for the ester synthesis from various nitriles and alcohols under neutral and solvent-free conditions at 160 °C. This method provides a rare example for the synthesis of heteroaromatic esters, which have been difficult to synthesize by conventional catalytic esterification methods. Valuable esters such as picolinic acid alkyl esters and niacin benzyl esters were synthesized, demonstrating a practical aspect of the present method. Kinetic studies suggested the following reaction mechanism: (1) H2O and ROH dissociate on CeO2, (2) nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl species (OHδ-) to the adsorbed nitrile on CeO2, leading to the formation of the primary amide, (3) nucleophilic attack of alkoxide species (ORδ-) to the amide as the rate-limiting step.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A convenient and clean procedure of esterification is reported by direct condensation of equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids with alcohols catalyzed by an easy to prepare catalyst system of perchloric acid immobilized on silica gel (HClO4-SiO2). The direct condensation of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl, aryl alkyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with primary/secondary alkyl/cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl, and long-chain aliphatic alcohols has been achieved to afford the corresponding esters in excellent yields. Chiral alcohol and N-t-Boc protected chiral amino acid also resulted in ester formation with the representative carboxylic acid or alcohol without competitive N-t-Boc deprotection and detrimental effect on the optical purity of the product demonstrating the mildness and chemoselectivity of the procedure. The esters of long-chain (>C10) acids and alcohols are obtained in high yields. The catalyst is recovered and recycled without significant loss of activity. The industrial application of the esterification process is demonstrated by the synthesis of prodrugs of ibuprofen and a few commercial flavoring agents. Other protic acids such as H2SO4, HBr, TfOH, HBF4, and TFA that were adsorbed on silica gel were less effective compared to HClO4-SiO2 following the order HClO4-SiO 2 ? H2SO4-SiO2 > HBr-SiO 2 > TfOH-SiO2 ? HBF4-SiO2 ≈ TFA-SiO2. When HClO4 was immobilized on other solid supports the catalytic efficiency followed the order HClO4-SiO 2 > HClO4-K10 > HClO4-Al 2O3 (neutral) > HClO4-Al2O 3 (acidic) > HClO4-Al2O3 (basic).

Acid-catalyzed organic reactions, such as etherification, esterification, acetal synthesis, cleavage, and interconversion, and pinacol rearrangement were carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of o-benzenedisulfonimide as Bronsted acid catalyst; the conditions were mild and selective. The catalyst was easily recovered and purified, ready to be used in further reactions, with economic and ecological advantages. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

The nucleophilic reactivity of a representative series of anions has been measured in [hmim][ClO4] 3i, [hm2im][ClO4] 3′i, and [hmim][PF6] 3l ILs in the reaction with n-alkyl methanesulfonates and compared with that found in common molecular solvents (MeOH, DMSO, PhCl). The reactivity is found to depend on both the imidazolium cation-anion interaction and the specific solvation by water present in the IL, the water playing the main effect, in particular with hydrophilic anions. Removal of the largest quantity of water remarkably increases the ion pair reactivity in the IL up to rate constant value k comparable with those obtained in DMSO and in low polarity media (PhCl).

, p. 2209 - 2212 (2008/02/10)
The o-benzenedisulfonimide is used as Br?nsted acid in catalytic amounts in various acid-catalyzed organic reactions, such as etherification, esterification, and acetalization; the conditions required are mild and in the considered examples the results are always good. A useful aspect of the use of this catalyst is its easy recovery in high yield from the reaction mixture and its reuse in other reactions, with economic and ecological advantages.
