- Epoxide as precatalyst for metal-free catalytic transesterification
-
Transesterification of methyl esters was accelerated by an in situ-generated metal-free catalyst comprising a quaternary alkylammonium salt and an epoxide. The combination of a quaternary alkylammonium acetate and glycidol is optimal, and various esters were synthesized from methyl esters with alcohols in good to excellent yield. Analysis of the catalyst solution revealed that basic species are generated by the ring-opening reaction of epoxide.

- 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinium triflate (TMPT): a highly selective and self-separated catalyst for esterification
-
An eco-friendly and readily accessible 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinium triflate was found as highly-selective and self-separated catalyst for esterification under solvent-free condition. The X-ray crystallography revealed that it formed a ‘hydrophobic wall’ which could effectively eliminate the generated water from the reactive sites. Moreover, it could precipitate from the reaction system with excellent recovery ratio (>99%) and be reused for ten times without any significant loss of activity.

- Preparation, characterisation and evaluation of brazilian clay-based catalysts for use in esterification reactions
-
Natural Brazilian clay-based catalysts were prepared, characterised, and their catalytic activity was assessed in esterification reactions. The natural clays were acid activated as received, without any previous treatment. Both natural and acid-activated clays were characterised by XRD, NH3-TPD, thermodesorption of n-butylamine, N2 adsorption analysis, FT-IR, TGA and DTA. The catalytic performance was investigated in the esterification of several carboxylic acids with different alcohols. The reactions were carried out in a 1:3 carboxylic acid/alcohol molar ratio at 100 °C and atmospheric pressure for 3h. The acid-activated clays provided good yields and better performance than commercial clay K10.

- Reactivity of anionic nucleophiles in ionic liquids and molecular solvents
-
The nucleophilic reactivity of a representative series of anions has been measured in [hmim][ClO4] 3i, [hm2im][ClO4] 3′i, and [hmim][PF6] 3l ILs in the reaction with n-alkyl methanesulfonates and compared with that found in common molecular solvents (MeOH, DMSO, PhCl). The reactivity is found to depend on both the imidazolium cation-anion interaction and the specific solvation by water present in the IL, the water playing the main effect, in particular with hydrophilic anions. Removal of the largest quantity of water remarkably increases the ion pair reactivity in the IL up to rate constant value k comparable with those obtained in DMSO and in low polarity media (PhCl).
