- An efficient, economical and eco-friendly acylation of alcohols and amines by alum doped nanopolyaniline under solvent free condition
-
We report acylation of alcohols and amines employing acetic acid as an acylating agent in solvent free condition by using alum doped nanopolyaniline (NDPANI) as a catalyst. This environmentally benign method does not use corrosive acid anhydrides and acid chlorides for acylation and does not produce waste product. Also, a non-toxic potash alum was used for doping of polyaniline rather than corrosive acids. The reaction conditions represent an advance over established method not only in omitting the need for expensive catalysts or solvents but also in shortening the reaction time significantly. The advantages of this catalyst are non-hazardous, cheap, reusable, easy to prepare and handling.

- Synthesis, Characterisation, and Determination of Physical Properties of New Two-Protonic Acid Ionic Liquid and its Catalytic Application in the Esterification
-
A new ionic liquid was synthesised, and its chemical structure was elucidated by FT-IR, 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and mass analyses. Some physical properties, thermal behaviour, and thermal stability of this ionic liquid were investigated. The formation of a two-protonic acid salt namely 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium sulfate instead of 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium hydrogensulfate was evidenced by NMR analyses. The catalytic activity of this ionic liquid was demonstrated in the esterification reaction of n-butanol and glacial acetic acid under different conditions. The desired acetate was obtained in 62-88 % yield without using a Dean-Stark apparatus under optimal conditions of 10 mol-% of the ionic liquid, an alcohol to glacial acetic acid mole ratio of 1.3: 1.0, a temperature of 75-100°C, and a reaction time of 4 h. α-Tocopherol (α-TCP), a highly efficient form of vitamin E, was also treated with glacial acetic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid, and O-acetyl-α-tocopherol (Ac-TCP) was obtained in 88.4 % yield. The separation of esters was conducted during workup without the utilisation of high-cost column chromatography. The residue and ionic liquid were used in subsequent runs after the extraction of desired products. The ionic liquid exhibited high catalytic activity even after five runs with no significant change in its chemical structure and catalytic efficiency.

- Bu 4 NI-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage and Oxidative Esteri??cation of Allyl Alcohols with Toluene Derivatives
-
A novel oxidative esterification of 1-arylprop-2-en-1-ols with toluene derivatives catalyzed by tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is reported. The optimization of the reaction conditions illustrates that each of experiment parameters including the catalyst, solvent, and oxidant is significant for present oxidative functionalization. This metal-free protocol has a broad substrate scope including the halogen groups for further functionalization and enriches the reactivity profile of allyl alcohol and toluene derivatives. In addition, this protocol represents a new transformation of allyl alcohol involving C-C bond cleavage and C-O bond forming.

- 4-Imidazol-1-yl-butane-1-sulfonic acid ionic liquid: Synthesis, structural analysis, physical properties and catalytic application as dual solvent-catalyst
-
4-Imidazol-1-yl-butane-1-sulfonic acid (ImBu-SO3H) has been successfully synthetized and fully characterized by FT-IR and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C). The “plausible” alternative structures of ImBu-SO3H were discussed on the basis of its NMR data. The ionic liquid showed interesting dual solvent-catalyst property, which was studied experimentally for the acetylation of a variety of functionalized alcohols, phenols, thiols, amines and α-tocopherol (α-CTP) as the most active form of vitamin E with acetic anhydride and which provided good yields within a short reaction time. ImBu-SO3H was successfully recycled by product extraction with an average recovered yield of 82% for 5 subsequent runs. The catalytic activity of the recycled ImBu-SO3H showed almost no loss even after five consecutive runs.

- Synthesis of lipase nano-bio-conjugates as an efficient biocatalyst: Characterization and activity-stability studies with potential biocatalytic applications
-
In the present study, we have synthesized lipase-nano-bio-conjugates via immobilization of various lipases on multiwall carbon nano-tubes (MCNT), in order to construct an efficient and recyclable biocatalytic system. In a screening study lipase Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) acted as an efficient biocatalyst (lipase-nano-bio-conjugates) which showed higher retention of lipase activity and protein loading. Consequently the immobilization support : lipase (MCNT : PFL) composition was screened in which MCNT : PFL (2 : 1) was calculated as a robust biocatalyst composition which showed higher activity retention and protein loading. This nano-bio-conjugate was then characterized in detail with physical and biochemical techniques using SEM, TEM, FTIR, Km, Vmax, catalytic efficiency and (%) water content analysis. This developed biocatalyst was further used for practical biocatalytic applications such as O-acylation reactions. Various reaction parameters were optimized in detail like reactant molar ratio (2 : 3.5), solvent, MCNT : PFL biocatalyst amount (36 mg), temperature (50°C) etc. The developed biocatalytic protocol was then extended to synthesize several (twenty-two) industrially important acylated moieties with an excellent yield, these products are well characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and GCMS analysis. Moreover in the present study, we have reviewed the potential industrial applications of various synthesized compounds. Also, we have studied the thermodynamic aspect which demonstrated more feasibility of use of immobilized MCNT : PFL lipase over free lipase. Interestingly, immobilized MCNT : PFL lipase showed 2.3 fold higher catalytic activity than free PFL. Besides this, the biocatalyst was efficiently recycled for up to five cycles. Thus the present protocol demonstrated, (i) synthesis of nano-bio-conjugates as a bio-catalyst, (ii) detailed physical-biochemical characterization of nano-bio-conjugates, (iii) optimization of the biocatalytic protocol (iv) practical biocatalytic applications along with a mechanistic study (v) a thermodynamic feasibility study and (vi) recyclability study. 2015

-
A mesoporous polyaniline/silver (mPANI/Ag) nanocomposite has been prepared using mesoporous organic polymer polyaniline with silver nitrate via radical polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The mPANI/Ag nanocomposite has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectra (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra (UV-vis). The XRD patterns indicated that the crystalline phase of Ag is cubic. TEM images show that the Ag nanoparticles are well dispersed in the mesoporous polyaniline matrix. The mPANI/Ag acts as an efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst in the acylation of substituted amines and alcohols using acetic acid. The catalyst is air-stable, inexpensive, easy to prepare and can be reused several times without a significant decrease in activity and selectivity. This journal is

- Investigation of steapsin lipase for kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols and synthesis of valuable acetates in non-aqueous reaction medium
-
In present study, the application of steapsin lipase (as a biocatalyst) was investigated for kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols (1-phenyl ethanol and their derivatives) using vinyl acetate as an activated acyl donor. The enzymatic protocol was optimized for various reaction parameters such as effect of the molar ratio, solvent, temperature, time and biocatalyst loading to obtain best reaction conditions. On optimization, developed enzymatic methodology provided considerable enantiomeric excess of the product (up to 92% ee) at 55 °C in n-hexane as a solvent. Furthermore using the developed protocol, synthesis of several industrially important acetates was successfully achieved with excellent yield (up to 99%). During acetate synthesis, the biocatalyst was remarkably reused for eight consecutive recycles without any significant loss in its catalytic activity. This revealed the good potential of steapsin lipase for application in organic solvents.

- Oxidation of alkylarenes by nitrate catalyzed by polyoxophosphomolybdates: Synthetic applications and mechanistic insights
-
Alkylarenes were catalytically and selectively oxidized to the corresponding benzylic acetates and carbonyl products by nitrate salts in acetic acid in the presence of Keggin type molybdenum-based heteropolyacids, H3+xPVxMo12-xO40 (x = 0-2). H 5PV2Mo10O40 was especially effective. For methylarenes there was no over-oxidation to the carboxylic acid contrary to what was observed for nitric acid as oxidant. The conversion to the aldehyde/ketone could be increased by the addition of water to the reaction mixture. As evidenced by IR and 15N NMR spectroscopy, initially the nitrate salt reacted with H5PV2Mo10O 40 to yield a NVO2+[H 4PV2Mo10O40] intermediate. In an electron-transfer reaction, the proposed NVO2 +[H4PV2Mo10O40] complex reacts with the alkylarene substrate to yield a radical-cation-based donor-acceptor intermediate, NIVO2[H4PV 2Mo10O40]-ArCH2R+.. Concurrent proton transfer yields an alkylarene radical, ArCHR., and NO2. Alternatively, it is possible that the NVO 2+[H4PV2Mo10O 40] complex abstracts a hydrogen atom from alkylarene substrate to directly yield ArCHR. and NO2. The electron transfer-proton transfer and hydrogen abstraction scenarios are supported by the correlation of the reaction rate with the ionization potential and the bond dissociation energy at the benzylic positions of the alkylarene, respectively, the high kinetic isotope effect determined for substrates deuterated at the benzylic position, and the reaction order in the catalyst. Product selectivity in the oxidation of phenylcyclopropane tends to support the electron transfer-proton transfer pathway. The ArCHR. and NO2 radical species undergo heterocoupling to yield a benzylic nitrite, which undergoes hydrolysis or acetolysis and subsequent reactions to yield benzylic acetates and corresponding aldehydes or ketones as final products.

Benzaldehydes are reduced by metallic zinc in the presence of Ac 2O and imidazole, giving the corresponding benzyl acetates in good yields. Reductive esterification of aromatic aldehydes is also carried out via gem-diacetoxy compounds. Carbonyl compounds are readily converted to the gem-diacyloxy compounds in excellent yields on treatment with 2molar amounts of acid anhydride and 10mol% of Yb(OTf)3 in MeCN at room temperature. Thus-formed diacyloxy compounds derived from aromatic aldehydes are reduced in situ by metallic zinc to afford the corresponding esters.

The stannyl anion 2, generated from Me3SiSnBu3(1)6 in the presence of R4NX, CsF or TASF [(Et2N)3SSiMe3F2]7 in DMF under very mild conditions, was used for 1,1-, 1,2-,or 1,4-elimination of an aryl or vinyl halide with an appropriate leaving group at the α-, β-, or δ-position of halogen. Thus, alkylidene carbene 8 is generated from 1,1-dibalo-alkene 6 or 7 and benzyne 10 is generated from 1,2-dibromobenzene 9 and an o-quinodimethane 12 was produced from α,α'-dibromoxylene 11a.

- Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Some Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Phenyl Iodosylacetate
-
Oxidation of toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, m-xylene, naphthalene and anthracene with phenyl iodosylacetate follows second order kinetics.The reactions are strongly dependent on the permitivity of the solvent medium.The activation parameters have been computed.Side chain acetoxylation is the major reaction in the case of toluene, o-xylene and p-xylene while nuclear acetoxylation has been encountered in the case m-xylene, naphthalene and anthracene.The mechanisms of side chain and nuclear acetoxylation are proposed, which satisfy the kinetic data obtained.

- SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS IN THE PHOTOSOLVOLYSIS OF BENZYL DERIVATIVES. GENERAL STRUCTURE-REACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS.
-
The relative reactivity of photosolvolysis of a number of substituted benzyl acetates is in the order ortho > meta > para, these substitutent effects being apparently additive, as suggested by the relative reactivity of photomethanolysis of several dimethoxy-susbstituted benzyl alcohols.

- The Liquid-phase Oxidation of the Methylbenzenes by the Cobalt-Copper-Bromide System
-
The liquid-phase oxidation of the methylbenzenes catalyzed by a catalyst system composed of cobalt(II) and copper(II) acetates and sodium bromide was carried out in the acetic acid at 150 deg C.The corresponding benzyl acetates and benzaldehydes were obtained in high selectivities in most cases.A nuclear-brominated product, i.e., 3-bromo-4-methoxytoluene was also obtained in the oxidation of p-methoxytoluene, wich has two different reaction sites, i.e., o-positions to the electron-donating methoxyl substituent and the benzyl position.However, the substitution of the bromide ion for the acetate ion in the catalyst system gave satisfactory selectivities for the side-chain oxidation products.In the p-xylene oxidation, α,α'-diacetoxy-p-xylene and p-(acetoxymethyl)benzoic acid were also obtained, as well as p-methylbenzyl acetate, though their amounts were small.The oxidation of polymethylbenzenes was also carried out.

- Metal Ion Oxidation. VII. Oxidation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Potassium 12-Wolframocobalt(III)ate, a "Soluble Anode"
-
The oxidation of aromatic compounds with potassium 12-wolframocobalt(II)ate in acetic acid media has been investigated.A wide range of alkylaromatics can be acetoxylated in the α position, whereas nuclear substitution can be effected in the presence of acetate ion.In a few cases acetoxymethylation is observed, presumably via intermediate arylacetic acid. 4-Fluoroanisole is converted to 4-acetoxyanisole.In all preparative aspects, the reaction is closely similar to anodic and Ag(II) mediated acetoxylation.A study of substituted effects upon α acetoxylation showed a good linear relationship between log krel and Eo for oxidation of the alkylaromatic substrates (slope -3.2 V-1).A strong deuterium isotope effect (KH/kD ca. 6) is indicative of a rate-determining step involving hydrogen atom transfer ("concerted electron/proton transfer") from the α C-H bond to an oxygen of the heteropoly ion.
