- MOF-808 as a recyclable catalyst for the photothermal acetalization of aromatic aldehydes
-
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show promise for catalysis applications due to their porosity, high internal surface area, and structural adaptability. Typical acetylation reactions of aldehydes require elevated temperatures and excess alcohol to drive the reactions to completion. In this current work, MOF-808 is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for acetylation of aldehydes in methanol using a mild photothermal process. Optimized conditions gave 72% yield of 2-(dimethoxymethyl)naphthalene in the presence of 10 mol% MOF-808 at 45 °C using only a fluorescent lamp. MOF-808 can be recycled up to 5 times with no loss in catalytic activity. A proof-of-principle substrate scope demonstrates the potential utility for aromatic and aliphatic substrates.

- Photochemical synthesis of acetals utilizing Schreiner's thiourea as the catalyst
-
Acetalization of aldehydes is an area of great importance in Organic Chemistry for both synthetic and biological puproses. Herein, we report a mild, inexpensive and green photochemical protocol, where Schreiner's thiourea (N,N′-bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-thiourea) is utilized as the catalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were converted into acetals in good to high yields (23 examples, 36-96% yield) and an example of the synthesis of a cyclic acetal is provided. The reaction mechanism was also studied.

The development of a new, highly efficient, and simple method for masking carbonyl groups as acetals and ketals is described. This methodology relies on the nature of the palladium catalyst to direct the acetalization/ketalization reaction. This new protocol is mild and proceed with a very low catalyst loading at ambient temperatures. The method has been extended to a wide variety of different carbonyl compounds with various steric encumbrances to form the corresponding acetals and ketals in excellent yields.

- Preparation of acetals from aldehydes and alcohols under basic conditions
-
A new, simple protocol for the synthesis of acetals under basic conditions from non-enolizable aldehydes and alcohols has been reported. Such reactivity is facilitated by a sodium alkoxide along with a corresponding trifluoroacetate ester, utilizing formation of sodium trifluoroacetate as a driving force for acetal formation. The usefulness of this protocol is demonstrated by its orthogonality with various acid-sensitive protecting groups and by good compatibility with functional groups, delivering synthetically useful acetals complementarily to the synthesis under acidic conditions from aldehydes and alcohols.

- A bifunctional cerium phosphate catalyst for chemoselective acetalization

Acid-base solid catalysts synthesized with structurally controlled uniform active sites can lead to unique catalysis. In this study, a CePO4 catalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal method and found to exhibit high catalytic performance for the chemoselective acetalization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with alcohols, in sharp contrast to other homogeneous and heterogeneous acid and/or base catalysts. In the presence of CePO4, various combinations of carbonyl compounds and alcohols are efficiently converted into the corresponding acetal derivatives in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies show that CePO4 most likely acts as a bifunctional catalyst through the interaction of uniform Lewis acid and weak base sites with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and alcohol molecules, respectively, which results in high catalytic performance.

A positively charged lamellar coordination polymer based on a flexible triphosphonic acid linker is reported. [Gd(H4nmp)(H2O)2]Cl?2 H2O (1) [H6nmp=nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid)] was obtained by a one-pot approach by using water as a green solvent and by forcing the inclusion of additional acid sites by employing HCl in the synthesis. Compound 1 acts as a versatile heterogeneous acid catalyst with outstanding activity in organic reactions such as alcoholysis of styrene oxide, acetalization of benzaldehyde and cyclohexanaldehyde and ketalization of cyclohexanone. For all reaction systems, very high conversions were reached (92–97 %) in only 15–30 min under mild conditions (35 °C, atmospheric pressure). The coordination polymer exhibits a protonic conductivity of 1.23×10?5S cm?1at 98 % relative humidity and 40 °C.

The protocol was also applied for the synthesis of various acetals via tandem hydroformylation-acetalization of olefins in alcohols as solvents. High activity and selectivity for acetal formation was achieved in the absence of co-catalysts with admirable substrate to catalyst mole ratio (TON 2500).

- Method for the selective formation of dimethyl acetals in the presence of hydroxylamine
-
An inexpensive and mild method for the formation of dimethyl acetals from the corresponding aldehydes is achieved using hydroxylamine and methanol under neutral conditions at room temperature. Notably, the reaction is selective for aldehydes in the presence of ketones, rendering this an example of a chemoselective acetalization. For saturated, sterically accessible aldehydes, catalytic amounts of hydroxylamine may be employed to attain the corresponding dimethyl acetal as the sole product in good to excellent yield. Unsaturated and hindered aldehydes required stoichiometric amounts of hydroxylamine but provided dimethyl acetals as the major product in typically excellent yield. In some cases, the corresponding oxime was also observed but may be separated from the acetal by flash column chromatography or distillation. The involvement of an intermediate oxime compound is postulated. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

A mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) was found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reaction of both carbonyl compounds and acetals with allylsilanes to afford the corresponding homoallyl silyl ethers and homoallyl alkyl ethers, respectively. Both the mesoporous structure and the presence of aluminum moiety were indispensable for the high catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41. Moreover, Al-MCM-41 could catalyze the reaction of acetals chemoselectively in the presence of the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The solid acid catalyst Al-MCM-41 could be recovered easily by filtration and could be reused three times without a significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Tetrafluoroboric acid adsorbed on silica gel as a reusable heterogeneous dual-purpose catalyst for conversion of aldehydes/ketones into acetals/ketals and back again
-
Aldehydes and ketones can be protected as acetals and ketals by treatment with trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) or triethyl orthoformate (TEOF) under the catalytic influence of tetrafluoroboric acid adsorbed on silica gel (HBF 4-SiO2). In the case of aldehydes or ketones with highly electrophilic carbonyl group, the reactions are carried out under solvent-free conditions. Aryl alkyl ketones, aryl styryl ketones, aldehydes with weakly electrophilic carbonyl groups, and aldehydes with substituents that can coordinate with the catalyst require the presence of the corresponding alcohol as solvent. For substrates that can be converted into acetals under neat conditions, the acetal formation takes place at a faster rate when the alcohol is used as the solvent. The catalyst can be recovered and reused/recycled four times (after reactivation after each use) without any significant decrease in its catalytic efficiency. The parent aldehydes/ketones are regenerated from the corresponding acetals/ketals in high yields by the treatment with water-alcohol in the presence of HBF4-SiO2 at room temperature for short times. Excellent selectivity was observed during inter- and intramolecular competition studies involving carbonyl substrates with varying electronic and steric environments. Selective acetal formation of benzaldehyde takes place in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde, thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde, 9-anthraldehyde, or acetophenone, but 3-nitrobenzaldehyde undergoes selective acetal formation in preference to benzaldehyde. In the case of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde, exclusive acetal formation of the aldehyde carbonyl group occurs. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Photochemical acetalization of carbonyl compounds in protic media using an in situ generated photocatalyst
-
Carbonyl compounds are conveniently converted into their corresponding dimethyl acetals in good yields and short reaction times by means of a photochemical reaction in methanol with a catalytic amount of chloranil (2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone, CA) as the sensitizer. Using aldehydes gives better results than using ketones, which also tend to form enol ethers as side products. These results are similar to those of simple acid-catalyzed acetalization reactions, suggesting the involvement of a photochemically generated acid. On the basis of steady state and laser flash photolysis data the reaction is proposed to involve the in situ generation of a photocatalyst (2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-hydroquinone, TCHQ) via reaction of CA with the solvent. The acetalization process is initiated by ionization of TCHQ, followed by loss of a proton to the solvent or the carbonyl, which starts a catalytic reaction. The photocatalyst is regenerated via a disproportionation reaction.

- Oxidation of Alkyl Phenyl Selenides, Tellurides, and Telluroxides with meta-Chloroperbenzoic Acid for a Facile and Novel Transformation of C-Se and C-Te Bonds to C-O Bonds
-
In sharp contrast to the well-known selenoxide elimination leading to olefins, the treatment of alkyl phenyl selenides (PhSeR) with an excess of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA; 2-5 equiv. to a selenide) in alcohol at room temperature affords the corresponding dialkyl ethers by the substitution of a phenylselenium (PhSe) moiety with an alkoxy group.A similar reaction proceeds by using alkyl phenyl tellurides (PhTeR) and telluroxides , a facile substitution of PhTe or PhTe(O) moiety by an alkoxy group being observed.Methanol is the most appropriate solvent for these oxidations and alkyl methyl ethers are formed in excellent yields.The reaction is accompanied by phenyl migration when applied to some selenides, tellurides, and telluroxides having a phenyl group at a vicinal position to the PhSe, PhTe, or PhTe(O) moiety.Application to the methoxyselenation and methoxytelluration products of cyclohexene and cycloheptene results in a ring-contraction to afford the dimethyl acetals of cyclopentane- and cyclohexane-carbaldehyde, respectively.In case of an allylic phenyl selenide, a sigmatropic rearrangement giving a rearranged allylic alcohol occurs in much preference to the substitution by the methoxy group.Other oxidizing agents than MCPBA such as NaIO4, H2O2, t-BuOOH, and ozone are generally ineffective under similar conditions.It is proposed that the reaction mainly takes place as follows.Alkyl phenyl selenone, alkyl phenyl tellurone, or the MCPBA addition product to them is formed as a reactive intermediate in which an alkyl C-Se or alkyl C-Te bond fission occurs heterolytically by a nucleophilic attack of alcohol, sometimes accompanied by a 1,2-shift of the β-substituent, i.e., phenyl migration and ring-contraction.

- Photochemical Hydroformylation with Cobalt Catalysts in Methanol
-
The photochemical hydroformylation of 1-octene with cobalt/phosphane complexes in methanol leads under mild conditions (80 deg C, 80 bar CO/H2) with >= 90percent selectivity to linear aldehydes.The reaction rate increases with temperature (Ea = 5 - 6 kcal/mol) and synthesis gas pressure, and is nearly independent of the cobalt source, e.g.Co(OAc)2, Co2(CO)8, or Co2(CO)6(PBu3)2.At low pressures hydroesterification is the preferred photoreaction of 1-octene.Isoprene reacts under similar conditions to give unsaturated oxoproducts and linear isoprene dimers.With unmodified octacarbonyldicobalt the hydroformylation of internal olefins is enhanced by UV light, but not the reaction of terminal olefins or dienes.UV irradiation of cobalt acetate under hydroformylation conditions leads to rapid reduction of the Co(II) species, thus decreasing the induction period from ca. 15 h (without irradiation) to ca. 30 min.

- NOVEL OXIDATION OF ALKYL PHENYL TELLURIDES AND TELLUROXIDES WITH meta-CHLOROPERBENZOIC ACID: REPLACEMENT OF TELLURIUM MOIETY BY METHOXY GROUP ACCOMPAINED BY RING CONTRACTION AND PHENYL MIGRATION
-
Oxidation of alkyl phenyl tellurides and telluroxides with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in methanol at room temperature afforded the corresponding alkyl methyl ethers in high yields.The reaction was accompained by phenyl migration and ring-contraction respectively when applied to the compounds having phenyl group next to the tellurium moiety and to the methoxytelluration products of cyclic olefins.

- A Novel, Simple Method for Transformation of C-Se to C-O Bonds
-
Oxidation of alkyl phenyl selenides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in methanol at room temperature affords the corresponding alkyl methyl ethers almost quantitatively, the reaction being accompanied by phenyl migration and ring-contraction respectively when applied to selenides having a phenyl group vicinal to the phenylselenium moiety and to some methoxyselenation products of cyclic olefins.

- Photochemistry of Alkyl Halides. 9. Geminal Dihalides
-
The photobehavior of the geminal dihalides (diiodomethyl)cyclohexane (7), (bromoiodomethyl)cyclohexane (11), (dibromomethyl)cyclohexane (17), (diiodomethyl)cyclopentane (22), 3,3-dimethyl(diiodomethyl)cyclobutane (27), and 8,8-diiodo-2,6-dimethyl-2-octene (31) has been studied and compared with that previously observed for diiodomethane.In all solvents the corresponding vinyl halides (iodomethylene)cyclohexane (13), (bromomethylene)cyclohexane (21), (iodomethylene)cyclopentane (23), 3,3-dimethyl(iodomethylene)cyclobutane (28), or cis- and trans-3,7-dimethyl-1-iodo-1,6-octadiene (33) were obtained, which are thought to arise from α-halo cationic intermediate formed via initial light-induced homolytic cleavage of the carbon-iodine bond followed by electron transfer within the resulting caged radical pair, as shown in Schemes II and III.In the case of diiodide 31 competing intramolecular trapping of the α-iodo cation afforded in addition the cyclized isopulegyl iodide (34).In polar solvents the vinyl iodides were accompanied by the nonhalogenated products methylenecyclohexane (15), 1-methylcyclopentene (25), cyclohexene (26), 4,4-dimethylcyclopentene (29), and cis- and trans-carane (35), which are thought also to arise from the α-halo cationic intermediate. 1.1-Diiodo-2,2-dimethylpropane (1b) afforded 2-methyl-2-butene (6b).Except for carane (35) from diiodide 31 there was no detectable formation of cyclopropanes.In methanol the nucleophilic substitution products (dimethoxymethyl)cyclohexane (14), (dimethoxymethyl)cyclopentane (24), and 1,1-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylpropane (30) were obtained.It is concluded that geminal dihalides undergo predominant, if not exclusive, photoreaction via initial clea vage of a single carbon-halogen bond in analogy with monohalides and that carbene intermediates are not formed.A similiar conclusion has been reached previously for diiodomethane in the photocyclopropanation of alkenes.
