Probing the mechanism of Baylis-Hillman reaction in ionic liquids

, p. 8775 - 8779,5 (2012)
The kinetic data for a Baylis-Hillman reaction in certain ionic liquids possessing ethylsulfate anion [EtSO4]- demonstrate that the rate determining step (RDS) is second order in aldehyde, but first order in acrylate and DABCO. This observation is similar to the one made by McQuade et al., who carried out this reaction in an aprotic polar solvent like DMSO. However, this is in contrast to the general observation that RDS is first order in aldehyde, acrylate, and DABCO in organic solvents.

Today, one of the most imperative targets to realize the conversions of CO2 in industry is the development of practically viable catalytic systems that demonstrate excellent activity, selectivity, and durability. Herein, a simple heterogeneous Ru(III) catalyst is prepared by immobilizing commercially available RuCl3·xH2O onto a bipyridine-Functionalized covalent triazine framework, [bpy-CTF-RuCl3], for the first time. This novel catalyst efficiently hydrogenates CO2 into formate with an unprecedented turnover frequency (38800 h-1) and selectivity. In addition, the catalyst excellently maintains its efficiency over successive runs and produces a maximum final formate concentration of a2.1 M in just 2.5 h with a conversion of 12% in regard to CO2 feed. The apparent advantages of air stability, ease of handling, simplicity, the use of a readily available metal precursor, and the outstanding catalytic performance make [bpy-CTF-RuCl3] one of the possible candidates for realizing the large-Scale production of formic acid/formate by CO2 hydrogenation.

Cethyl-2-methylresorcinarene (A), pyridine (B), and a set of 10 carboxylic acids (Cn) associate to form A·B·Cn ternary assemblies with 1:1:1 stoichiometry, representing a useful class of ternary systems where the guest mediates complex formation between the host and a third component. Although individually weak in solution, the combined strength of the multiple noncovalent interactions organizes the complexes even in a highly hydrogen-bond competing methanol solution, as explored by both experimental and computational methods. The interactions between A·B and Cn are dependent on the pKa values of carboxylic acids. The weak interactions between A and C further reinforce the interactions between A and B, demonstrating positive cooperativity. Our results reveal that the two-component system such as that formed by A and B can form the basis for the development of specific sensors for the molecular recognition of carboxylic acids.
