PROCESS FOR THE CATALYTIC DIRECTED CLEAVAGE OF AMIDE-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS

The present invention relates to a catalytic method for the conversion of amide-containing compouds by means of a build-in directing group and upon the action of a heteronucleophilic compound (in se an amine (RNH2 or RNHR') or an alcohol (ROH) or a thiol (RSH)) in the presence of a metal catalyst to respectively esters, thioesters, carbonates, thiocarbonates and to what is defined as amide-containing compounds (such as carboxamides, urea, carbamates, thiocarbamates). The present invention also relates to these amide-containing compounds having a build-in directing group (DG), as well as the use of such directing groups in the catalytic directed cleavage of N-DG amides with the use of heteronucleophiles (in se an amine (RNH2 or RNHR') or an alcohol (ROH) or thiol (RSH)).

Highly active and reusable ternary oxide catalyst for dialkyl carbonates synthesis

The application of ternary oxides, prepared through calcination of rare-earth modified Mg/Al-hydrotalcite (HT), as highly active, selective, and reusable solid catalysts for dialkyl carbonates synthesis by transesterification reaction is reported. Dimethyl carbonate, for example, was prepared by reacting ethylene carbonate with methanol in 100 mol% selectivity at a yield of 95 mol%. Among several rare-earth modified precursors, La (10 mol%)-HT showed the highest activity. This catalyst was active even at ambient conditions. Basicity of the catalyst played crucial role on its performance. The activity of these catalysts was superior to the hitherto known solid catalysts for this reaction.

Alkoxycarbonylation of alcohols and phenols by nitrosoformates

Unstable neutral radicals [ROCONHO?] 2 and nitrosoformates 3 are formed by oxidation of N-hydroxycarbamates with lead dioxide. In the presence of alcohols or phenols and water they solvolyzed to mixtures of symmetrical 4 and asymmetrical 5 carbonates. The content of asymmetrical carbonates 5 increases with increasing reactivity of the nitrosoformates 3 formed, temperature, the content of water in the reaction mixture, and with decreasing reactivity of alcohol. The reactivities of individual alcohols have been evaluated with the help of competitive alcoholysis. The new method of alcohol or phenol alkoxylation has been verified experimentally by preparing six asymmetrical carbonates which were obtained in 34 to 47% yields.

Anodic Oxidation. Part 17. The Formation of Alkyl Methyl Carbonates in the Hofer-Moest Reaction in Methanol

The liquid products from the electrolysis of sodium butanoate in methanol containing methyl sodium carbonate at a graphite anode include propyl and 1-methylethyl methyl carbonates. 1,1-Dimethylethyl methyl carbonate is amongst the liquid products from the electrolysis of sodium 2,2-dimethylpropanoate in methanol at a platinum anode in the presence or absence of methyl sodium carbonate.Typical secondary products derived from propene or 2-methylpropene are also present in the liquid products from each of these electrolyses.
