- ZWITTERIONIC CATALYSTS FOR (TRANS)ESTERIFICATION: APPLICATION IN FLUOROINDOLE-DERIVATIVES AND BIODIESEL SYNTHESIS
-
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.

- 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.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Reductive Esterification Using Carbon Monoxide as a Reducing Agent
-
Carbon monoxide used to have a limited number of applications in organic chemistry, but it gradually increases its role as a mild and selective reducing agent. It can be applied for the carbon–heteroatom single bond formation via the reductive addition of hydrogen-containing nucleophiles to carbonyl compounds. In this paper, rhodium-catalyzed reductive esterification is described, and a comparative study of the rhodium and ruthenium catalysis in the reductive addition reactions is provided. Rhodium performs better on highly nucleophilic substrates and ruthenium is better for compounds with less nucleophilicity.

- KMnO4-catalyzed chemoselective deprotection of acetate and controllable deacetylation-oxidation in one pot
-
A novel and efficient protocol for chemoselective deacetylation under ambient conditions was developed using catalytic KMnO4. The stoichiometric use of KMnO4 highlighted the dual role of a heterogeneous oxidant enabling direct access to aromatic aldehydes in one-pot sequential deacetylation-oxidation. The reaction employed an alternative solvent system and allowed the clean transformation of benzyl acetate to sensitive aldehyde in a single step while preventing over-oxidation to acids. Use of inexpensive and readily accessible KMnO4 as an environmentally benign reagent and the ease of the reaction operation were particularly attractive, and enabled the controlled oxidation and facile cleavage of acetate in a preceding step.

- 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.

- Amide/Iminium Zwitterionic Catalysts for (Trans)esterification: Application in Biodiesel Synthesis
-
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.

- 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.

- Atom- and Step-Economical Ruthenium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Esters from Aldehydes or Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
-
We developed a ruthenium-catalyzed reductive ester synthesis from aldehydes or ketones and carboxylic acids using carbon monoxide as a deoxygenative agent. Multiple factors influencing the outcome of the reaction were investigated. Best results were obtained for commercially available and inexpensive benzene ruthenium chloride; as low as 0.5 mol % of the catalyst is sufficient for efficient reaction. Competitive studies demonstrated that the presence of even 1000 equiv of alcohol in the reaction mixture does not lead to the corresponding ester, which clearly indicates that the process is not a simple reductive esterification but a novel type of Ru-catalyzed redox process.

Herein, Ni(II) immobilized on modified mesoporous silica MCM-41 was designed and synthesized via a facile sequential strategy. The structure of the catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The thermal property of the as-synthesized materials was studied using thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis. The average particles size and morphology of MCM-41@XA@Ni(II) were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This nanostructure catalyst was effective for the selective oxidation of sulfides and acetylation of alcohols in solvent-free conditions. The easy recyclability of the catalyst and their complete chemoselectivity toward the sulfur group of substrates in the oxidation of sulfides are important “green” attributes of this catalyst.

- Oxidative "reverse-esterification" of ethanol with benzyl/alkyl alcohols or aldehydes catalyzed by supported rhodium nanoparticles
-
A very unusual role of polystyrene stabilized rhodium (Rh@PS) nanoparticles as a supported catalyst is described for "reverse-esterification" of ethanol with benzyl/alkyl alcohols or aldehydes. Faster and selective oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and H2 under Rh@PS catalyzed conditions which restricted further oxidation of benzyl/alkyl alcohols and their in situ reaction gave the corresponding acetate esters following the dehydrogenative-coupling approach. A hitherto redox dehydrogenative-coupling of ethanol and aldehydes has also been explored for the same acetate ester synthesis under Rh@PS catalyzed conditions.

- ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols and amines with acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions
-
A ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was prepared from metal nitrates and tetraethyl orthosilicate by the sol-gel process, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The nanocomposite was tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines under solvent-free conditions. Under optimized conditions, efficient acetylation of these substrates with acetic anhydride over the ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was obtained. Acetylation of anilines and primary aliphatic amines proceeded rapidly at room temperature, while the reaction time was longer for the acetylation of alcohols and phenols, showing that an amine NH2 group can be selectively acetylated in the presence of alcoholic or phenolic OH groups. The catalyst can be reused without obvious loss of catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of the ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was higher than that of pure ZnAl2O4. The method gives high yields, and is clean, cost effective, compatible with substrates having other functional groups and it is suitable for practical organic synthesis.

LaFeO3/SiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by the sol-gel process from metal nitrates and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the SiO2 source. The nanocomposite product was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and surface area measurements and was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the efficient acetylation of amines, alcohols and phenols to the corresponding acetates using acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions. Among the various substrates, acetylation of amines was preceded rapidly, so that an amine group could be selectively acetylated in the presence of alcoholic or phenolic hydroxyl groups by the appropriate choice of reaction time. The catalyst can also be reused several times without the loss of activity. In addition, the catalytic activity of the LaFeO3/SiO2 nanocomposite was higher than that of the pure LaFeO3 nanoparticles. The method is high yielding, clean, cost effective, compatible with the substrates having other functional groups and very suitable for the practical organic synthesis.

No evidence for the formation of by-products, for example, isothiocyanate or benzyl alcohol was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification. The catalyst was easily separated with the assistance of an external magnetic field from the reaction mixture and reused for several consecutive runs without significant loss of its catalytic efficiency.

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.

A convenient, rapid, and efficient method for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols, and amines has been developed by using acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalytic amount of P2O5/Al 2O3 under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. This reaction was studied under different conditions, and several solvents were examined for this conversion. However, in terms of reaction time and yield, it was found that the best result was obtained when the reaction was carried out under solvent-free conditions. Racemization of optically active alcohols and epimerization of sugars were not observed. The use of nontoxic and inexpensive materials, simple and clean workup, short reaction times, and good yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

- Silica chloride and boron sulfonic acid as solid acid catalysts in preparation of ethers and esters under solvent-free condition
-
Boron sulfonic acid was easily prepared from the reaction of boric acid and chlorosulfonic acid under solvent free condition. The prepared solid acid was supported on silica gel by simple grinding and used as efficient solid acid catalyst in the preparation of ethers from the aliphatic and aromatic alcohols. The ethers were prepared in high isolated yields and in lesser times. Silica chloride was prepared by refluxing of silica gel in thionyl chloride. The obtained solid acid was efficiently used for the conditions of alcohols to the corresponding ethers and acetyl esters in less reaction time and in high isolated yields.

- 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.
