- Mechanisms of Polymer-Supported Catalysis. 1. Reaction of 1-Bromooctane with Aqueous Sodium Cyanide Catalyzed by Polystyrene-Bound Benzyltri-n-butylphosphonium Ion
-
The rate of reaction of 1-bromooctane with aqueous sodium cyanide catalyzed by insoluble polystyrene-bound benzyltri-n-butylphosphonium salts has been studied as a function of the method of mixing of the triphase system, catalyst particle size, degree of polymer cross-linking, solvent, and temperature.Reaction rates increase as the speed of mechanical stirring increases to a maximum rate at 600 rpm.Turbulent vibromixing and ultrasonic mixing do not cause any additional reaction rate increase.Reaction rates increase as catalyst particle sizes decrease, even at the maximum stirring speed.Reaction rates decrease as percent of divinylbenzene cross-linking in the polymer increases from 2percent to 10percent.Reaction rates increase with increasing swelling power of the solvent in the order decane /= 28 times faster than polymer-bound benzyltrimethylammonium when mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion do not limit the rates.

- Binding Profiles for Oligoethylene Glycols and Oligoethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ethers and an Assessment of Their Abilities To Catalyze Phase-Transfer Reactions
-
The equilibrium binding or stability constants (K8) between Na+ and oligoethylene glycols , monomethyl ethers , and dimethyl ethers have been determined in anhydrous methanol solution.The ranges of compounds involved are as follows: diols, n = 3-312; monoethers, n = 6-15; diethers, n = 3-21.Although the slopes vary some from species to species, the plot of log K8 vs. log molecular weight is an essentially straight line.There is no peak in binding observed when a particular number of oxygens might be present to provide, for example, an octahedron of donor groups or a quasi-crown coil.The molecular weight is not crucial to the binding since equal weights of different glycols afford the same net sodium binding.This similarity does not extend to reactivity in the liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalytic system in which it appears that one molecule of polyethylene glycol derivative effects one reaction at a time.Thus equal weights of shorter chains are much more effective than longer chain lengths of similar species.

- Nickel/Cobalt-Catalyzed Reductive Hydrocyanation of Alkynes with Formamide as the Cyano Source, Dehydrant, Reductant, and Solvent
-
A Ni/Co co-catalyzed reductive hydrocyanation of various alkynes was developed for the production of saturated nitriles. Hydrocyanic acid is generated in situ from safe and readily available formamide. Formamide played multiple roles as a cyano source, dehydrant, and reductant for the NiII pre-catalyst and vinyl nitriles, along with acting as the co-solvent in this reaction. Detailed mechanistic investigation supported a pathway via hydrocyanation of C≡C bond and the subsequent reduction of C=C bond. Wide substrate scope, the employment of a cheap and stable nickel salt as pre-catalyst, a safe cyano source and convenient experimental operation render this hydrocyanation practical for the laboratory synthesis of saturated nitriles.

- A Molecular Iron-Based System for Divergent Bond Activation: Controlling the Reactivity of Aldehydes
-
The direct synthesis of amides and nitriles from readily available aldehyde precursors provides access to functional groups of major synthetic utility. To date, most reliable catalytic methods have typically been optimized to supply one product exclusively. Herein, we describe an approach centered on an operationally simple iron-based system that, depending on the reaction conditions, selectively addresses either the C=O or C-H bond of aldehydes. This way, two divergent reaction pathways can be opened to furnish both products in high yields and selectivities under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system takes advantage of iron's dual reactivity capable of acting as (1) a Lewis acid and (2) a nitrene transfer platform to govern the aldehyde building block. The present transformation offers a rare control over the selectivity on the basis of the iron system's ionic nature. This approach expands the repertoire of protocols for amide and nitrile synthesis and shows that fine adjustments of the catalyst system's molecular environment can supply control over bond activation processes, thus providing easy access to various products from primary building blocks.

- Synthetic Fuels from Biomass: Photocatalytic Hydrodecarboxylation of Octanoic Acid by Ni Nanoparticles Deposited on TiO2
-
Decarboxylation of low-value fatty acids from biomass is a simple process to produce synthetic fuels suitable to be blended with gasoline or diesel. The present study reports the photocatalytic decarboxylation of octanoic acid in the presence of H2 by a series of modified TiO2 to form mixtures of n-heptane and tetradecane as major products in variable proportions, depending on the photocatalyst and the reaction conditions. It was found that the photocatalytic activity increases upon an optimal reductive NaBH4 treatment, presumably by generation of surface oxygen vacancies and by the deposition of Ni nanoparticles in the appropriate loading. Under the optimized conditions, an almost complete octanoic acid conversion and a combined selectivity to n-heptane and tetradecane over 80 % were reached at 10 h of UV/Vis light irradiation with a 300 W Xe lamp. No changes in the photocatalytic performance were observed for six consecutive runs. The present results illustrate the possibility that photocatalytic decarboxylation offers for the transformation of biomass into synthetic fuels under mild conditions.

- A Titanium-Catalyzed Reductive α-Desulfonylation
-
A titanium(III)-catalyzed desulfonylation gives access to functionalized alkyl nitrile building blocks from α-sulfonyl nitriles, circumventing traditional base-mediated α-alkylation conditions and strong single electron donors. The reaction tolerates numerous functional groups including free alcohols, esters, amides, and it can be applied also to the α-desulfonylation of ketones. In addition, a one-pot desulfonylative alkylation is demonstrated. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate a catalyst-dependent mechanism involving a homolytic C?S cleavage.

- Design, synthesis and antiparasitic evaluation of click phospholipids
-
A library of seventeen novel ether phospholipid analogues, containing 5-membered heterocyclic rings (1,2,3-triazolyl, isoxazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl and 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl) in the lipid portion were designed and synthesized aiming to identify optimised miltefosine analogues. The compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiparasitic activity against Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani intracellular amastigotes, against Trypanosoma brucei brucei and against different developmental stages of Trypanosoma cruzi. The nature of the substituents of the heterocyclic ring (tail) and the oligomethylene spacer between the head group and the heterocyclic ring was found to affect the activity and toxicity of these compounds leading to a significantly improved understanding of their structure–activity relationships. The early ADMET profile of the new derivatives did not reveal major liabilities for the potent compounds. The 1,2,3-triazole derivative 27 substituted by a decyl tail, an undecyl spacer and a choline head group exhibited broad spectrum antiparasitic activity. It possessed low micromolar activity against the intracellular amastigotes of two L. infantum strains and T. cruzi Y strain epimastigotes, intracellular amastigotes and trypomastigotes, while its cytotoxicity concentration (CC50) against THP-1 macrophages ranged between 50 and 100 μM. Altogether, our work paves the way for the development of improved ether phospholipid derivatives to control neglected tropical diseases.

- One-pot synthesis of aldoximes from alkenes: Via Rh-catalysed hydroformylation in an aqueous solvent system
-
Aldoxime synthesis directly starting from alkenes was successfully achieved through the combination of hydroformylation and subsequent condensation of the aldehyde intermediate with aqueous hydroxylamine in a one-pot process. The metal complex Rh(acac)(CO)2 and the water-soluble ligand sulfoxantphos were used as the catalyst system, providing high regioselectivities in the initial hydroformylation. A mixture of water and 1-butanol was used as an environmentally benign solvent system, ensuring sufficient contact of the aqueous catalyst phase and the organic substrate phase. The reaction conditions were systematically optimised by Design of Experiments (DoE) using 1-octene as a model substrate. A yield of 85% of the desired linear, terminal aldoxime ((E/Z)-nonanal oxime) at 95% regioselectivity was achieved. Other terminal alkenes were also converted successfully under the optimised conditions to the corresponding linear aldoximes, including renewable substrates. Differences of the reaction rate have been investigated by recording the gas consumption, whereby turnover frequencies (TOFs) >2000 h-1 were observed for 4-vinylcyclohexene and styrene, respectively. The high potential of aldoximes as platform intermediates was shown by their subsequent transformation into the corresponding linear nitriles using aldoxime dehydratases as biocatalysts. The overall reaction sequence thus allows for a straightforward synthesis of linear nitriles from alkenes with water being the only by-product, which formally represents an anti-Markovnikov hydrocyanation of readily available 1-alkenes.

- Atomically Dispersed Ru on Manganese Oxide Catalyst Boosts Oxidative Cyanation
-
There is a strong incentive for environmentally benign and sustainable production of organic nitriles to avoid the use of toxic cyanides. Here we report that manganese oxide nanorod-supported single-site Ru catalysts are active, selective, and stable for oxidative cyanation of various alcohols to give the corresponding nitriles with molecular oxygen and ammonia as the reactants. The very low amount of Ru (0.1 wt %) with atomic dispersion boosts the catalytic performance of manganese oxides. Experimental and theoretical results show how the Ru sites enhance the ammonia resistance of the catalyst, bolstering its performance in alcohol dehydrogenation and oxygen activation, the key steps in the oxidative cyanation. This investigation demonstrates the high efficiency of a single-site Ru catalyst for nitrile production.

- Tuning of active sites in M/TiO2 for photocatalytic cyanation of olefins with high regioselectivity
-
The detailed structure of active sites plays an important role for the determination of catalytic performance. Herein, catalytic active sites of M/TiO2 for photocatalytic cyanation of olefins are tuned by delicate manipulation of the metal kinds, metal loading amount and pretreatment processes. It was found that the 0.1% Pt/P25 catalyst reduced at 300 °C possessed high metal dispersion and suitable oxygen defects on TiO2, and thus exhibited the best catalytic performance with high specific speed of time yield and high selectivity. A wide scope of olefin substrates could be converted to the corresponding nitriles with high atom efficiency and anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity under mild conditions for the optimized Pt/P25 catalyst. The reaction mechanism based on radical coupling of acetonitrile and olefins was also discussed. This approach offers an environmental-friendly platform for the selective activation of C-H bonds of acetonitrile and will bring potential applications for hydrofunctionalization of olefins.

- Batch Versus Flow Lithiation–Substitution of 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles: Exploitation of Unstable Intermediates Using Flow Chemistry
-
1,3,4-Oxadiazoles are a common motif in pharmaceutical chemistry, but few convenient methods for their modification exist. A fast, convenient, high yielding and general α-substitution of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been developed using a metalation-electrophilic trapping protocol both in batch and under continuous flow conditions in contradiction to previous reports which suggest that α-metalation of this ring system results in ring fragmentation. In batch, lithiation is accomplished at an industrially convenient temperature, ?30 °C, with subsequent trapping giving isolated yields of up to 91 %. Under continuous flow conditions, metalation is carried out at room temperature, and subsequent in flow electrophilic trapping gave up to quantitative isolated yields. Notably, lithiation in batch at room temperature results only in ring fragmentation and we propose that the superior mixing in flow allows interception and exploitation of an unstable intermediate before decomposition can occur.

- Method for preparing nitrile by reacting acetone cyanohydrin with haloalkane
-
The invention provides a method for preparing nitrile by reacting acetone cyanohydrin with haloalkane. According to the invention, by using acetone cyanohydrin as a cyaniding reagent, the problems, such as long reaction time, low yield, strict reaction conditions and the like enchanted in an existing preparation method in which highly toxic sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide or expensive trimethylsilyl cyanide is used as a cyanogen source, are solved. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving acetone cyanohydrin in a mixed solvent of a high boiling point dipolar aprotic solvent anda low boiling point aprotic solvent, adding a catalyst lithium hydroxide, stirring at 25-50 DEG C for one hour and then adding a haloalkane for continuous reaction for 2-3 hours; next, adding saturated saline water for washing twice, separating out an organic layer, and boiling off the solvent after drying, thereby obtaining a nitrile compound. The method for preparing a nitrile compound disclosed in the invention is characterized by low reaction toxicity, simple process, easy of operation, low production cost, and a yield of more than 95%.

The first iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of alkyl halides with alkylaluminum reagents (alkylalkyl Negishi coupling) is developed using an iron/bisphosphine catalyst system. The reaction shows high functional group tolerance: various primary alkyl halides possessing a non-protected indole, carboxyl, or hydroxy group are coupled with primary alkylaluminum reagents in good yields. Potassium fluoride plays a key role to promote the reaction by generating an aluminate species, which facilitates the transmetalation between the organoaluminum and the iron catalyst.

- Oxidant free conversion of alcohols to nitriles over Ni-based catalysts
-
Organic nitriles are significant and versatile industrial feedstocks, but their conventional synthetic protocols require hazardous starting materials and/or harsh reaction conditions posing environmental and health risks. Herein, we established a Ni-based catalytic system to convert primary alcohols to nitriles with ammonia gas as the sole nitrogen source under oxidant-free conditions at merely 190-230 °C. Based on isotope labelling experiments, in situ DRIFTS and control experiments, the reaction pathway was identified to follow a dehydrogenation-imination-dehydrogenation sequence, with α-carbon C-H bond breakage as the rate determining step. Ni is superior to all noble metal catalysts tested, due to its excellent dehydrogenation ability that is not inhibited by NH3. The support plays an auxiliary role, promoting the reaction between aldehyde and ammonia to form imine as a critical intermediate. Ni/Al2O3 catalyst prepared via a deposition-precipitation method, featuring both excellent dispersion of metallic Ni and suitable acid sites, enabled alcohol transformation into nitrile under unprecedented low temperature. Various alcohols were converted into their corresponding nitriles in high conversions and yields (both up to 99%), while the catalyst kept 90% of its original activity after 48 hours in the stability test, highlighting the wide applicability and the robustness of the catalytic system.

- Identification of an Active NiCu Catalyst for Nitrile Synthesis from Alcohol
-
Development of heterogeneous catalysts for alcohol transformation into nitriles under oxidant-free conditions is a challenge. Considering the C-H activation on α-carbon of primary alcohols is the rate-determining step, decreasing the activation energy of C-H activation is critical in order to enhance the catalytic activity. Several NiM/Al2O3 bimetallic catalysts were synthesized and scrutinized in catalytic transformation of 1-butanol to butyronitrile. Ni-Cu was identified as a suitable combination with the optimized Ni0.5Cu0.5/Al2O3 catalyst exhibiting 10 times higher turnover frequency than Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) revealed that the NiCu particles in the catalyst exist in the form of homogeneous alloys with an average size of 8.3 nm, providing an experimental foundation to build up a catalyst model for further density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Calculations were done over a series of NiM catalysts, and the experimentally observed activity trend could be rationalized by the Br?nsted-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) principle, i.e., catalysts that afford reduced reaction energy also feature lower activation barriers. The calculated activation energy (Ea) for C-H activation with coadsorbed NH3 dropped from 63.4 kJ/mol on pure Ni catalyst to 49.9 kJ/mol on the most active NiCu-2 site in NiCu bimetallic catalyst, in good agreement with the experimentally measured activation energy values. The Ni0.5Cu0.5/Al2O3 catalyst was further employed to convert 11 primary alcohols into nitriles with high to near-quantitative yields, at a Ni loading 10 times less than that of the conventional Ni/Al2O3 catalyst.

- Grafted Polyethylene Glycol–Graphene Oxide as a Novel Triphase Catalyst for Carbenes and Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions

Abstract: Separation and reusability had been main problems for the using of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as phase transfer catalysts (PTCs). To solve these problems, PEG was firstly and successfully grafted on graphene oxide (GO) using BF3·C2H5OC2H5 as Lewis acid catalyst. The solid GO-PEG composites were systemically investigated by characterization techniques (TG, FT-IR, XPS, ICP-AES etc.) and then applied to some carbenes and nucleophilic substitution reactions as novel triphase catalysts. As the results, GO-PEG showed not only equally excellent catalytic activity (≥ 93% yield of 7,7-dichlorobicyclo[4.1.0]heptane and iodooctane) but also incomparable reusability (≥ 85% yield of iodooctane after using for four times) in comparison with traditional PTCs (PEG).

- A mineralogically-inspired silver-bismuth hybrid material: An efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the direct synthesis of nitriles from terminal alkynes
-
The synthesis and characterization of a silver-containing hybrid material is reported as a novel heterogeneous noble metal catalyst. In order to eliminate the need for traditional immobilization techniques, and to create a solid material with structurally-bound silver catalytic centers, the layered structure of a naturally occurring mineral served as the basis of the initial catalyst design. The novel material was prepared by means of the urea-mediated homogeneous precipitation of the corresponding metal nitrates, and was fully characterized by means of diverse instrumental techniques (X-ray diffractometry, Raman, IR, UV-Vis, EPR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, thermal methods as well as atomic force, scanning and transmission electron microscopies). The as-prepared material exhibited outstanding activity in silver-catalyzed CC bond activation to yield organic nitriles directly from terminal alkynes with less environmental concerns as compared to the classical synthesis methods. The effects of the reaction time, the temperature, as well as the role of various solvents, nitrogen sources and additives were carefully scrutinized in order to achieve high-yielding and selective nitrile formation. The heterogeneous nature of the reaction was verified and the solid catalyst was recycled and reused numerous times without loss of its activity or degradation of its structure, thereby offering a sustainable synthetic methodology.

The sustainable introduction of nitrogen moieties in the form of nitrile or amide groups in functionalized molecules is of fundamental interest because nitrogen-containing motifs are found in a large number of life science molecules, natural products and materials. Hence, the synthesis and functionalization of nitriles and amides from easily available starting materials using cost-effective catalysts and green reagents is highly desired. In this regard, herein we report the nanoscale iron oxide-catalyzed environmentally benign synthesis of nitriles and primary amides from aldehydes and aqueous ammonia in the presence of 1 bar O2 or air. Under mild reaction conditions, this iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process proceeds to synthesise functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles. Additionally, applying this iron-based protocol, primary amides have also been prepared in a water medium.

- Cooperative Palladium/Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrocyanation of Alkenes and Alkynes Using 1-Methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carbonitrile
-
Catalytic transfer hydrocyanation represents a clean and safe alternative to hydrocyanation processes using toxic HCN gas. Such reactions provide access to pharmaceutically important nitrile derivatives starting with alkenes and alkynes. Herein, an efficient and practical cooperative palladium/Lewis acid-catalyzed transfer hydrocyanation of alkenes and alkynes is presented using 1-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carbonitrile as a benign and readily available HCN source. A large set of nitrile derivatives (>50 examples) are prepared from both aliphatic and aromatic alkenes with good to excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity. A range of aliphatic alkenes engage in selective hydrocyanation to provide the corresponding nitriles. The introduced method is useful for chain walking hydrocyanation of internal alkenes to afford terminal nitriles in good regioselectivities. This protocol is also applicable to late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

Dehydrogenative oxidation of vicinal alcohols catalyzed by a commercially 64 wt.% Ni/SiO2 catalyst leads to the formation of α-hydroxyketone. This first step was developed without additional solvent according to two protocols: “under vacuum” or “with an olefin scavenger”. The synthesis of ketols was carried out with good conversions and selectivities. The recyclability of the supported nickel was also studied. Acyloin was then cleaved with oxidative reagent “formic acid/hydrogen peroxide”, which is cheap and can be used on a large scale for industrial oxidation processes. The global yield of this sequential system was up to 80 % to pelargonic acid and azelaic acid monomethyl ester without intermediate purification. By treating the acyloin intermediate with hydroxylamine, nitriles were obtained with a good selectivity.

A green strategy was developed for the synthesis of various value-added chemicals using methanol, acetonitrile, acetic acid, acetone and ethyl acetate as the hydrogen source by coupling them with olefins over heterogeneous photocatalysts. A radical coupling mechanism was proposed for the hydrofunctionalization of olefins with methanol to higher aliphatic alcohols over the Pt/TiO2 catalyst as the model reaction. C-H bond cleavage and C-C bond formation between photogenerated radicals and terminal olefins were accomplished in a single reaction at high efficiency. Our approach is atomically economical with high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and promising application potential under mild reaction conditions.

A series of adducts of LiCN, namely [Li(Me2CO3)CN], [Li(Et2CO3)CN], and [Li(NMP)CN] (NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) were prepared by treatment of solvent-free LiCN with the appropriate donor. The starting material for these approaches, donor-free LiCN, was quantitatively prepared from Me3SiCN and Li[Me] in diethyl ether at 0 °C. Alternatively, [Li(NMP)CN] was synthesized by metathesis reaction of LiCl with NaCN in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of NMP. Although [Li(Me2CO3)CN] and [Li(Et2CO3)CN] are water-sensitive compounds and decompose at the exposure to air, [Li(NMP)CN] is stable in air, even at elevated temperatures. The thermal stability of [Li(NMP)CN] was proven by differential thermal analysis (DTA). [Li(NMP)CN] shows thermal stability up to temperatures of about 132 °C. To evaluate the cyanation ability the reactions of 1-bromooctane and 3-bromocyclohexene with unsupported LiCN, [Li(NMP)CN], and a mixture of NaCN/LiCl/NMP were investigated. We found that [Li(NMP)CN] as well as LiCl/NaCN/NMP are efficient cyanation reagents comparable to the expensive and air-sensitive, donor-free LiCN. A product of the chloride-cyanide-bromide exchange could be isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction.

- Amino acid derived ionic liquid supported iron Schiff base catalyzed greener approach for the aerobic oxidation of amines to nitriles
-
Amino acid dl-threonine derived ionic liquid was treated with salicylaldehyde to give corresponding Schiff base which subsequently is complexed with iron and used as a green catalyst for aerobic oxidation of amines under solvent-less conditions. The developed catalyst was readily synthesized, reusable, and exhibited superior catalytic activity owing to the synergistic effect of ionic liquid moiety. The developed catalyst was found to be quite stable and could be reused for several runs without any significant loss in catalytic activity.

- Structure-activity relationship studies of the lipophilic tail region of sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors
-
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a ubiquitous, endogenous small molecule that is synthesized by two isoforms of sphingosine kinase (SphK1 and 2). Intervention of the S1P signaling pathway has attracted significant attention because alteration of S1P levels is linked to several disease states including cancer, fibrosis, and sickle cell disease. While intense investigations have focused on developing SphK1 inhibitors, only a limited number of SphK2-selective agents have been reported. Herein, we report our investigations on the structure-activity relationship studies of the lipophilic tail region of SLR080811, a SphK2-selective inhibitor. Our studies demonstrate that the internal phenyl ring is a key structural feature that is essential in the SLR080811 scaffold. Further, we show the dependence of SphK2 activity and selectivity on alkyl tail length, suggesting a larger lipid binding pocket in SphK2 compared to SphK1.

- Practical one-pot conversion of aryl bromides and β-bromostyrenes into aromatic nitriles and cinnamonitriles
-
Various aryl bromides were efficiently converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields by the treatment with Mg turnings and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH 3. The same treatment of aryl bromides, which are weakly reactive to Mg turnings, with iPrMgCl·LiCl and subsequently DMF, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH3 also afforded the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. On the other hand, when N-formylpiperidine was used instead of DMF, p-substituted β-bromostyrenes were converted into the corresponding p-substituted cinnamonitriles, i.e., α,β-unsaturated nitriles, in good to moderate yields by the same procedure. The reactions were carried out by means of a simple experimental procedure and did not require any toxic metal cyanides or expensive rare metals. Therefore, the present reactions are practical and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles, cinnamonitriles, and aliphatic nitriles from aryl bromides, β-bromostyrenes, and alkyl bromides, respectively, through the formation of Grignard reagents and their DMF or N-formylpiperidine adducts.

- Perfluorocarbon soluble crown ethers as phase transfer catalysts
-
Fluorous derivatives of dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether were readily prepared by means of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, and then successfully applied as catalysts in representative solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis (PTC) reactions, which were performed in standard organic solvents, such as chlorobenzene and toluene, and also in fluorous solvents, such as perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane (PFDMC). It was clearly shown that properly designed fluoroponytailed crown ethers can promote the disintegration of the crystal lattice of alkali salts and transfer anions from the solid surface into an apolar, non-coordinating perfluorocarbon phase. Far from beinga simple chemical curiosity, this unprecedented observation has relevant implications in the design of PTC scenarios of wide applicability. This new paradigm represents an advance in crown ether chemistry, and their use as recyclable phase transfer catalysts.

A convenient and efficient one-pot preparation of nitriles from alcohols using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, treatment of alcohols with a mixture of NaCN, TsIm and triethylamine in the presence of catalytic amounts of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) in refluxing DMF furnishes the corresponding alkyl nitriles in good yields. This methodology is highly efficient for various structurally diverse alcohols with selectivity for ROH: 1° > 2° > 3°.

- Nucleophilic displacement reactions in ionic liquids: Substrate and solvent effect in the reaction of NaN3 and KCN with alkyl halides and tosylates
-
Room-temperature ionic liquids have been used as environmentally benign solvents for the preparation of primary and secondary alkyl azides and nitriles under solid-RTIL phase-transfer conditions. The reaction of primary, secondary, and tertiary halides or tosylates with KCN and NaN3 has been investigated in three ionic liquids ([bmim][PF6], [bmim][N(Tf) 2], and [hpyr] [N(Tf)2]). The observed nucleofugacity scales for the reaction of NaN3 are similar to those reported for the same process in cyclohexane, indicating that in these solvents it is possible to evidence the intrinsic ability to depart of leaving groups. Changes in the nature of the IL cation or anion determine significant modifications in reactivity of the investigated substrates. Reactivity has been interpreted considering a gradual shift of the mechanism from concerted SN2 (primary substrates) to stepwise SN1 (tertiary substrate, 3), through the nucleophilically assisted formation of an ion pair intermediate, in the case of 2d.
