- Thiol-initiated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins and its extension to direct production of acetals from olefins
-
The oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones is an important reaction in organic syntheses. In this manuscript, a mild and operationally simple protocol for the aerobic oxidation of olefins to produce carbonyl compounds was realized over ZnIn2S4under visible light, using air as the oxidant and a thiol as the initiator. It was proposed that the photogenerated holes over ZnIn2S4attack the thiol to produce thiyl radicals, which initiate the oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones. By further coupling with the condensation between the as-obtained aldehydes/ketones and alcohols, this strategy can also be applied to the production of different acetals directly from the olefins. This study demonstrates a new pathway to realize the oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones, and also provides a new protocol for the production of acetals directly from the olefins.

- Systematic Study of Regioselective Reductive Ring-Opening Reactions of 4,6- O-Halobenzylidene Acetals of Glucopyranosides
-
Reductive openings of cyclic acetals are widely used in modern synthetic organic chemistry for the regioselective introduction of protecting groups. A systematic study was performed on the applicability and efficacy of various hydride donor and protic or Lewis acid reagent combinations in the reductive ring opening of glucosidic 4,6-halobenzylidene acetals bearing an ortho-, meta-, and para-chloro- or -bromo substituent on the benzene ring. Most of the reagent combinations tested cleaved the 4,6-O-halobenzylidene acetal rings at O4 or O6 efficiently and with the expected regioselectivity. The LiAlH4-AlCl3 and the BH3·THF-TMSOTf combinations produced the 4-O-halobenzyl ether/6-OH products with complete regioselectivity and high yields. The use of Me3N·BH3-AlCl3 reagent system in toluene was also effective in cleaving the acetal ring at O6 but was accompanied by Al-chelation-assisted debenzylation side reactions. The NaCNBH3-HCl and the Et3SiH-BF3·Et2O combinations were highly effective in yielding the 6-halobenzyl ether/4-OH derivatives. Et3SiH, in combination with TfOH, produced the 6-O-ether/4-OH products in rapid reactions but also triggered silylation and reductive halobenzylation as secondary transformations. Reductive opening of the 1,3-dioxane ring of pyranosidic 4,6-O-halobenzylidene acetals by the proper reagent combination was found to be an efficient method for the regioselective introduction of versatile halobenzyl protecting groups onto the pyranose ring.

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.

- Synthesis, structural determination and catalytic study of a new 2-D chloro-substituted zinc phosphate, (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))]2
-
A novel chloro-substituted zinc-phosphate, (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))], has been synthesized by a slow evaporation method in the presence of 1,3-cyclohexanebis- (methylamine), which acts as a template. The structure consists of vertex linked ZnO3Cl and PO3(OH) tetrahedral, assembled into corrugated porous layers [ZnCl(PO3(OH))2]∞ with (4.82) topology. The optical properties were also investigated using Diffuse Reflecting Spectroscopy (DRS), showing that the title compound has semiconducting properties. In addition, the catalytic activity of (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))]2 has been tested in the acetalisation reaction of aldehydes. The title compound displayed a high catalytic activity with practically total conversion in many examples using MeOD as solvent and as the sole source of acetalisation. More importantly, the reaction crudes are very clean and only the preferred products are found in the NMR spectra.

- Remote ‘Imidazole’ Based Ruthenium(II) p-Cymene Precatalyst for Selective Oxidative Cleavage of C?C Multiple Bonds
-
The dual role of remote ‘imidazole’ attached with the precatalyst [(p-cymene)RuII(L)Y]+ (L=2-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline, Y=chloride/solvent) was explored for the selective oxidative cleavage of C?C multiple bonds to acetals/aldehydes. The presence of ‘imidazole’ in the precatalysts was found to be useful for the activation of oxidant and release of p-cymene from the precatalysts, which in turn was not effective without the ‘imidazole’ moiety. The mechanistic aspects of the precatalyst were evaluated from spectroscopic, kinetic, and few other controlled experiments. The loss of p-cymene is the key step for the reaction and found to be faster in solvated precatalyst, [(p-cymene)RuII(L)(MeOH)]++ and thus showed 3–4-fold more effective as compared to [(p-cymene)RuII(L)Cl]+.

- Chemoselective Nucleophilic Functionalizations of Aromatic Aldehydes and Acetals via Pyridinium Salt Intermediates
-
The development of a novel chemoselective functionalization can diversify the strategy for synthesizing the target molecules. The perfect chemoselectivity between aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes is difficult to achieve by the previous methods. The aromatic aldehyde-selective nucleophilic addition in the presence of aliphatic aldehydes was newly accomplished. Namely, the aromatic aldehyde-selective nucleophilic addition using arenes and allyl silanes proceeded in the presence of trialkylsilyl triflate and 2,2′-bipyridyl, while the aliphatic aldehydes completely remained unchanged. The reactive pyridinium-type salt intermediate derived from an aromatic aldehyde chemoselectively underwent the nucleophilic substitution. Moreover, the aromatic acetals as the protected aldehydes could be directly transformed into similar pyridinium salt intermediates, which reacted with various nucleophiles coexisting with the aliphatic aldehydes.

A new enzymatic protocol based on lipase-catalyzed cascade toward (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters is presented. The proposed methodology consists of elementary organic processes starting from acetals and cyanoacetic acid leading to the formation of desired products in a cascade sequence. The combination of enzyme promiscuous abilities gives a new opportunity to synthesize complex molecules in the one-pot procedure. Results of studies on the influence of an enzyme type, solvent, and temperature on the cascade reaction course are reported. The presented methodology provides meaningful qualities such as significantly simplified process, excellent E-selectivity of obtained products and recycling of a biocatalyst.

- Ce(III)-Based frameworks: From 1d chain to 3d porous metal-organic framework
-
The reaction of pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (2,4-H2 pydc) with Ce(NO3)36H2O, by applying only minor changes to the reaction conditions, generated a series of new one-, two-, and three-dimensional (1D, 2D, and 3D) coordination polymers, namely, [Ce(pydc)(Hpydc)(H2O)4]n (1), [Ce(pydc)(Hpydc)(H2O)2]n (2), and {[Ce3(pydc)4(H2O)2NO3]4H2O}n (3). The ancillary ligand interaction as well as the reaction conditions determine the specific coordination modes for the Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands and, in turn, discriminate between 1D, 2D, and 3D frameworks. Characterization of the prepared materials was performed using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, CHN elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. Compound 1 consists of 1D chains, that compose of Ce3+ ions bridged by Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands, which further link via noncovalent interactions to form a 3D supramolecular architecture. Compound 2 assembles into 2D sheets with 1D channels. Similarly, via hydrogen-bonding interactions between two adjacent sheets, the 2D layers are further stacked into the final 3D supramolecular structure. Compound 3 is a 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), showing 1D helical channels. The progressive skeletal variation from the 1D chains (1) to 2D sheets (2) and 3D framework (3) is attributed to the flexibility of both the Ce(III) coordination sphere and coordination modes of the Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands under different reaction conditions. The three compounds illustrate how the tuning of the coordination geometry of Ce(III) translates into different dimensionality, which is readily influenced by reaction temperature and ancillary ligand presence. Moreover, the porosity of MOF 3 was confirmed by N2 and CO2 gas adsorption/desorption. Finally, the catalytic activity of MOF 3 was examined in acetalization reactions in a series of aromatic aldehydes with methanol.

- Hydrothermal synthesis of chiral inorganic-organic CoII complex: Structural, thermal and catalytic evaluation
-
By heating the cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2·6H2O) with the R form of the organic amine α-methylbenzylamine (C8H11N) under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions, we have successfully generated the corresponding non-centrosymmetric homochiral hybrid tris (α-methylbenzylammonium tetrachloridocobaltate chloride [R-(C8H12N)3][CoCl4]Cl abbreviated R(MBA)Co. We present the growth conditions together with a characterization of the single crystals by means of X-ray single-crystal diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared, TG/TDA thermal decomposition and catalytic properties. This inorganic–organic hybrid compound crystallizes in the chiral space group P21 and exhibits a supramolecular-layered organization wherein a double layer of (R)-methylbenzylammonium cations and the uncoordinated chloride anions are sandwiched between anionic layers, formed by isolated tetrachloridocobaltate tetrahedra. The crystal packing is governed by a three-dimensional network of N/C–H?Cl hydrogen bonds between the inorganic and organic moieties and C–H···π interactions between the aromatic rings of the organic moieties themselves. Thermal analysis discloses a phase transition at the temperature 130 °C. The Co complex was also employed as suitable catalyst activating the acetal formation reaction of aldehydes using MeOH as solvent and as the unique source of acetalization.

- Acid-catalyzed highly diastereoselective and effective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indoles

We successfully explored for the first time that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) can effectively catalyze the oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction of secondary tryptophols and acetals to synthesize 1,3-disubstituted 1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indoles in high yield (up to >99%) and diastereoselectivity (>20:1). The secondary tryptophols were synthesized from indole-3-acetic acid. The one-pot synthesis of tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indoles was successfully developed from secondary tryptophols and in situ prepared acetals from aldehydes and trimethylorthoformate and thus the cost-efficiency of the protocol was effectively enhanced. Finally, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indole was also demonstrated after enantioselective achievement of highly enantiopure secondary tryptophols.

- Phosphorylated Polyacrylonitrile Fibers as an Efficient and Greener Acetalization Catalyst
-
A novel solid acid catalyst (PANEAPF) is developed by immobilization of phosphoric acid on polyacrylonitrile fiber through covalent bonding. Various characterization techniques such as elemental analysis (EA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), etc. are utilized to confirm the successful grafting and the stability of the fiber catalysts during application. PANEAPF shows high catalytic activity in the acetalization of aldehydes owing to the high utilization efficiency of its functionalized acid sites. In addition, the strong polarity micro-environment in the surface layers of PANEAPF make it highly suitable for catalytic application in both water and alcohol. Furthermore, the fiber catalyst can be applied to the acetalization of aldehydes in a continuous-flow process at room temperature, and shows excellent reactivity and superior recyclability (over 20 times). The many advantages of PANEAPF such as simple preparation, convenient regulation of acid amount, high durability, and eco-friendly process make it very attractive for fixed-bed reactors in the chemical industry.

- Crystallisation, thermal analysis and acetal protection activity of new layered Zn(II) hybrid polymorphs

Two new polymorphic mononuclear complexes, with analogous structural formula (C6H9N2)2[Zn(H2O)6](SO4)2·2H2O, of zinc(ii) templated by 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium ligand have been discovered. These polymorphic hybrid crystals, which differ only in terms of their crystal structures, were prepared in one-step synthesis under ambient conditions and investigated for their thermal and catalytic properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the obtained materials revealed that polymorphs 1 and 2 crystallise in the triclinic system, space group P1. In an effort to further explore the form diversity of these compounds, the structural arrangements and intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen-bonding and π?π interactions are discussed from which supramolecular assembly was formed. Meanwhile, these new polymorphic forms can be described as the stacking of 3D layers where the interlayer distances are 13.23 and 12.59 ? for 1 and 2, respectively. The thermal behaviour of the precursors checked by TG-DTA analysis for both zinc sulfate polymorphs and variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD) show successive intermediate crystalline anhydrous phases upon dehydration in 1. The catalytic activity of both polymorphic structures has been tested in the acetalisation reaction of aldehydes as a benchmark process. Interestingly, both complexes showed excellent activity with almost total conversion in many examples and using MeOH as solvent and as the unique source of acetalisation.

As a result, the developed methodology features excellent functional group tolerance and good atom economy. Br?nsted acid catalyzed alkynylation of acetals and ketals is described. Alkynyltrifluoroborate salts react rapidly to afford propargylic ethers.

- Bronsted instead of lewis acidity in functionalized MIL-101Cr MOFs for efficient heterogeneous (nano-MOF) catalysis in the condensation reaction of aldehydes with alcohols
-
Porous chromium(III) 2-nitro-, 2-amino-, and nonfunctionalized terephthalate (MIL-101Cr) metal organic frameworks are heterogeneous catalysts for diacetal formation from benzaldehyde and methanol (B-M reaction) as well as other aldehydes and alcohols. MIL-101Cr-NO2 obtained by direct reaction between CrO3 and 2-nitro-terephthalate showed the highest activity with 99% conversion in the B-M reaction in 90 min and turnover numbers of 114. The activity decreased in the order MIL-101Cr-NO2 > MIL-101Cr > MIL-101Cr-NH2. Within different samples of nonfunctionalized MIL-101Cr the activity increased with surface area. Methanol gas sorption of the different MIL materials correlates with the BET surface area and pore volume but not with the diacetalization activity. Benzaldehyde adsorption from heptane showed no significant difference for the different MILs. Gas sorption studies of CD3CN to probe for a higher Lewis acidity in MIL-101Cr-NO2 remained inconclusive. A high B-M catalytic activity of wet MIL-101Cr-NO2 excluded significant contributions from coordinatively unsaturated Lewis-acid sites. pH measurements of methanol dispersions of the MIL materials gave the most acidic pH (as low as 1.9) for MIL-101Cr-NO2, which significantly increased over MIL-101Cr (3.0) to MIL-101Cr-NH2 (3.3). The increase in acidity is of short range or a surface effect to the heterogeneous MIL particles as protons dissociating from the polarized aqua ligands (Cr-OH2) have to stay near the insoluble counteranionic framework. The variation in Bronsted acidity of MIL-101Cr-NO2 > MIL-101Cr ≈ MIL-101Cr-NH2 correlates with the withdrawing effect of NO2 and the diacetalization activity. The catalytic B-M activity of soluble, substitution-inert, and acidic Cr(NO3)3·9H2O supports the Bronsted-acid effect of the MIL materials. Filtration and centrifugation experiments with MIL-101Cr-NO2 revealed that about 2/3 of the catalytic activity comes from nano-MOF particles with a diameter below 200 nm. The MIL-101Cr-NO2 catalysts can be recycled five times with very little loss in activity. The diacetalization activity of MIL-101Cr-NO 2 decreases with the alcohol chain length from methanol over ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, to almost inactive n-pentanol, while conversions for benzaldehyde, paratolylaldehyde, 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, and cyclohexanone all reach 90% or more after 90 min.

A remarkable fluorine effect on "on water" reactions is reported. The C-FaH-O interactions between suitably fluorinated nucleophiles and the hydrogen-bond network at the phase boundary of oil droplets enable the formation of a unique microstructure to facilitate on water catalyst-free reactions, which are difficult to realize using nonfluorinated substrates. Accordingly, a highly efficient on water, catalyst-free reaction of difluoroenoxysilanes with aldehydes, activated ketones, and isatylidene malononitriles was developed, thus leading to the highly efficient synthesis of a variety of α,α- difluoro-β-hydroxy ketones and quaternary oxindoles. It's on! The C-FaH-O interactions between suitably fluorinated nucleophiles and a hydrogen-bond network at the phase boundary of an oil droplet facilitate "on water" catalyst-free reactions.

- A new generation of aprotic yet Bronsted acidic imidazolium salts: Low toxicity, high recyclability and greatly improved activity
-
Catalysts which have low antimicrobial toxicity and are aprotic, yet which can act as Bronsted acidic catalysts in the presence of protic additives have been developed. The catalysts are recyclable, considerably more active (i.e. can be used at 10-50 times lower loadings) and of broader scope than their antecedent generation.

- An alternative approach to direct aldol reaction based on gold-catalyzed methoxyl transfer
-
A mild and catalyzed alternative to the direct aldol reaction has been developed based on the gold-catalyzed methoxy group transfer from dimethyl acetals to terminal alkynes. Due to the simultaneous activation of the acetals, this aldol approach is only functional for acetals but not aldehydes. A ligand effect from the gold complex has also been observed. Copyright

- Bis(perfluorooctanesulfonyl)imide supported on fluorous silica gel: Application to protection of carbonyls
-
The immobilization of bis(perfluorooctanesulfonyl)imide (HNPf2) on fluorous silica gel (FSG) and its utilization in protection of carbonyls have been investigated. This system is reasonably general and can be applied to converting several carbonyls to the corresponding acetals and ketals in good to excellent yields. There is no need for the use of anhydrous solvents or inert atmosphere. Recycling studies have shown that the FSG-supported HNPf2 catalyst can be readily recovered and reused several times without significant loss of activity.

- Mesoporous aluminosilicate-catalyzed allylation of carbonyl compounds and acetals
-
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.

- Mesoporous sulfated zirconia mediated acetalization reactions
-
A novel, convenient, one step synthetic procedure for the synthesis of mesoporous sulfated zirconia (m-SZ) using zirconium carbonate complex and its use as solid acid catalyst for the acetalization of different carbonyl compound is reported. The high specific BET surface area (234 m2 g -1) of m-SZ is achieved after the removal of the surfactant (cetyltrymethylammonium bromide, CTAB) through calcination at 550 °C for 6 h. Microscopic analysis indicated the presence of spherical particles with worm like pores. DRIFT (diffuse reflectance FTIR) of pyridine adsorbed m-SZ and NH3-TPD (temperature programmed desorption) analysis suggested the presence of appreciable amount of Bro?nsted acid sites. The synthesized m-SZ showed high catalytic activity towards protection of carbonyl compounds through acetal/ketal formation. For the open ketal (from cyclohexanone and methanol) 97% conversion with 100% selectivity was obtained in 1 h at room temperature under solvent free condition. The catalyst can be easily recycled after separation from the reaction system without considerable loss in catalytic activity.

- Metal organic frameworks as solid acid catalysts for acetalization of aldehydes with methanol
-
Room temperature acetalization of aldehydes with methanol has been carried out using metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as solid heterogeneous catalysts. Of the MOFs tested, a copper-containing MOF [Cu3(BTC)2] (BTC=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) showed better catalytic activity than an iron-containing MOF [Fe(BTC)] and an aluminium containing MOF [Al 2(BDC)3] (BDC=1,4-benzenedicarboxylate). The protocol was validated for a series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and used to protect various aldehydes into commercially important acetals in good yields without the need of water removal. In addition, the reusability and heterogeneity of this catalytic system was demonstrated. The structural stability of MOF was further studied by characterization with powder X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett- Teller surface area measurements and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopic analysis of a deactivated catalyst used to convert a large amount of benzaldehyde. The performance of copper MOF as acetalization catalyst compares favourably with those of other conventional homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts such as zinc chloride, zeolite and clay. Copyright

- 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.
