- 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.

- Enantioselective, Catalytic Multicomponent Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines Enabled by Hydrogen-Bonding and Dispersive Interactions
-
We report a one-step catalytic, enantioselective method for the preparation of homoallylic N-Boc amines directly from acetals. Reactive iminium ion intermediates are generated in situ through the combination of an acetal, a chiral thiourea catalyst, trialkylsilyl triflate, and N-Boc carbamate and are subsequently trapped by a variety of allylsilane nucleophiles. No homoallylic ether byproducts are detected, consistent with allylation of the iminium intermediate being highly favored over allylation of the intermediate oxocarbenium ion. Acetals derived from aromatic aldehydes possessing a variety of functional groups and substitution patterns yield homoallylic amines with excellent levels of enantiomeric enrichment. Experimental and computational data are consistent with an anchoring hydrogen-bond interaction between the protioiminium ion and the amide of the catalyst in the enantiodetermining transition state, and with stereodifferentiation achieved through specific noncovalent interactions (NCIs) with the catalyst pyrenyl moiety. Evidence is provided that the key NCI in the major pathway is a π-stacking interaction, contrasting with the cation-πinteractions invoked in previously studied reactions promoted by the same family of aryl-pyrrolidino-H-bond-donor catalysts.

- 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.

- Multicomponent Aromatic and Benzylic Mannich Reactions through C?H Bond Activation
-
Multicomponent Mannich reactions through C?H bond activation are described. These transformations allowed for the straightforward generation of densely substituted benzylic and homo-benzylic amines in good yields. The reaction involves a reaction between two transient species: an organometallic species, generated by transition-metal-catalyzed sp2 or sp3 C?H bond activation and an in situ generated imine. The use of an acetal as an aldehyde surrogate was found essential for the reaction to proceed. The process could be successfully applied to RhIII-catalyzed sp2 C?H bond functionalization and extended to CuII-catalyzed sp3 C?H bond functionalization.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

- The use of anhydrous CeCl3 as a recyclable and selective catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes and ketones
-
An efficient, clean, chemoselective and solvent-free method for the synthesis of ketone and aldehyde dimethyl acetals was developed using trimethyl orthoformate and commercially available anhydrous CeCl3 as a recyclable catalyst. The method is general and affords the protected carbonyl compounds in good yields and under mild conditions, including aryl and alkyl ketones and activated aldehydes. The catalyst could be utilised directly for 3 cycles, without significant loss of activity.

- Cobalt(II) schiff base functionalized mesoporous silica as an efficient and recyclable chemoselective acetalization catalyst
-
Cobalt(II) Schiff base functionalized mesoporous silica was synthesized from covalent attachment via the introduction of Co(OAc)2 to salicylaldimine functionalized mesoporous silica. The catalyst proved to be chemoselective one for the acetalization of aldehydes to the corresponding acetals in alcohol. The immobilized catalyst can be easily recovered and reused for at least ten reaction cycles without significant loss of its 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

- Pyridinium ion catalysis of carbonyl protection reactions
-
Aprotic pyridinium ions incorporating electron-withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring are powerful catalysts for the acetalization of aldehydes and the formation of dithianes, dithiolanes, dioxanes, and dioxolanes. Under optimum conditions the best catalyst can be used at a loading as low as 0.1 mol% and can outperform a Bronsted acid catalyst with a pka of 2.2. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- 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.

- Reductive openings of acetals: Explanation of regioselectivity in borane reductions by mechanistic studies
-
(Graph Presented) The mechanisms of regioselective reductive openings of acetals were investigated in several model systems by a combination of Hammett plots, kinetic experiments, density functional calculations, and 11B NMR. The regioselectivity of borane reductions of cyclic acetals can be controlled by the choice of borane. Lewis acid activation of BH3·NMe 3 increases the reaction rate and renders the borane the most electrophilic species, which associates to the more electron-rich oxygen of the acetal. In contrary, without activation, the regioselectivity is instead directed by the Lewis acid, as exemplified by the reaction with BH 3·THF.

- Perchloric acid adsorbed on silica gel (HClO4-SiO2) as an inexpensive, extremely efficient, and reusable dual catalyst system for acetal/ketal formation and their deprotection to aldehydes/ketones
-
Perchloric acid adsorbed on silica gel (HClO4-SiO2) is reported as extremely efficient, inexpensive, and reusable catalyst for dual role for protection of aldehydes/ketones (with trialkyl orthoformates) as acetals/ketals and deprotection (with water-alcohol) to regenerate the carbonyl compounds in high yields at room temperature and in short times. Acetalization/ketalization of electrophilic aldehydes/ketones was carried out under solvent-free conditions. Weakly electrophilic aldehydes/ketones and aldehydes having a substituent that can coordinate with the catalyst, required the corresponding alcohol as solvent. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Regioselectivity in arene-catalyzed reductive lithiation of acetals of chlorobenzaldehydes
-
The regioselectivity of arene-catalyzed reductive lithiation of acetals of chlorobenzaldehydes strongly depends on the form of lithium metal employed as a reducing agent. According to previous findings, naphthalene catalyzed reductions run in the presence of lithium powder (high Na content) led to competitive metalations of both aromatic carbon-chlorine and benzylic carbon-oxygen bonds. At variance with these results, naphthalene catalyzed reductions run in the presence of lithium wire (either high or low Na content) led to highly regioselective metalation of aromatic carbon-chlorine bonds. These results disclose new possibilities of selective applications of arene-catalyzed reductive lithiation reactions.

- Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate as a novel and highly efficient catalyst for acetal formation
-
Commercially available copper(II) tetrafluoroborate hydrate has been found to be a highly efficient catalyst for dimethyl/diethyl acetal formation in high yields from aldehydes and ketones by reaction with trimethyl/triethyl orthoformate at room temperature and in short period. Acetalisation was carried out under solvent-free conditions with electrophilic aldehydes/ketones. For weakly electrophilic aldehydes/ketones (e.g., benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and acetophenone) and for aldehydes having a substituent that can coordinate with the catalyst, the corresponding alcohol was used as solvent.
