- Impregnation of 12-tungstophosphoric acid on tonsil: An effective catalyst for esterification of formic acid with n-butyl alcohol and kinetic modeling
-
Esterification of formic acid with n-butanol was catalyzed by dodecatungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40 (DTP) impregnated on tonsil earth. A series of catalysts containing 10%, 20% and 30% of DTP on tonsil earth were synthesized. The samples were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, BET and TG. The 20% DTP loaded on tonsil showed the highest catalytic activity among the samples prepared in this study. Therefore the kinetics of esterification of formic acid with butanol has been studied in the presence of 20% DTP/T. The kinetic behavior of the reaction has been found to follow the Eley-Rideal model.

- Alcohol-Activated Vanadium-Containing Polyoxometalate Complexes in Homogeneous Glucose Oxidation Identified with 51V-NMR and EPR Spectroscopy
-
Alcoholic solvents, especially methanol, show an activating affect for heteropolyacids in homogenously catalysed glucose transformation reactions. In detail, they manipulate the polyoxometalate-based catalyst in a way that thermodynamically favoured total oxidation to CO2 can be completely supressed. This allows a nearly 100 % carbon efficiency in the transformation reaction of glucose to methyl formate in methanolic solution at mild reaction conditions of 90 °C and 20 bar oxygen pressure. By using powerful spectroscopic tools like 51V-NMR and continuous wave EPR we could unambiguously prove that the vanadate-methanol-complex[VO(OMe)3]n is responsible for the selectivity shift in methanolic solution compared to the aqueous reference system.

- Photo-on-Demand Synthesis of Vilsmeier Reagents with Chloroform and Their Applications to One-Pot Organic Syntheses
-
The Vilsmeier reagent (VR), first reported a century ago, is a versatile reagent in a variety of organic reactions. It is used extensively in formylation reactions. However, the synthesis of VR generally requires highly toxic and corrosive reagents such as POCl3, SOCl2, or COCl2. In this study, we found that VR is readily obtained from a CHCl3 solution containing N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide upon photo-irradiation under O2 bubbling. The corresponding Vilsmeier reagents were obtained in high yields with the generation of gaseous HCl and CO2 as byproducts to allow their isolations as crystalline solid products amenable to analysis by X-ray crystallography. With the advantage of using CHCl3, which bifunctionally serves as a reactant and a solvent, this photo-on-demand VR synthesis is available for one-pot syntheses of aldehydes, acid chlorides, formates, ketones, esters, and amides.

- Assessment of ion exchange resins as catalysts for the direct transformation of fructose into butyl levulinate
-
The transformation of fructose into butyl levulinate in aqueous 1-butanol (initial molar ratio 1-butanol/fructose 79, and butanol/water 1.19) has been studied in a discontinuous reactor at 80?120 °C and 2.0 MPa over 8 sulfonic polystyrene-DVB ion exchange resins as catalysts (catalyst loading 0.85–3.4 %). Resins swell greatly in the reaction medium and the reaction takes place mainly in the swollen gel-phase. Swollen resins in water have been characterized by analysis of ISEC data, and spaces originated in the gel phase upon swelling are described in terms of zones of different polymer density. A relationship has been found between the morphology of swollen resins and ester production. Swollen resins with low polymer density show the highest butyl levulinate yield. Dowex 50Wx2 was the most effective because it creates the largest and widest spaces in the gel-phase when swelling. Consequently, it better accommodates the proton-transfer-reaction mechanisms.

- PROCESS FOR MAKING FORMIC ACID UTILIZING LOWER-BOILING FORMATE ESTERS
-
Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester of a C3 to C4 alcohol. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a C3 to C4 alcohol, hydrolyzing the formate ester of the alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product. The alcohol may be dried and returned to the reactor. The process enables a more energy efficient production of formic acid than the carbonylation of methanol to produce methyl formate.

- Sustainable Co-Synthesis of Glycolic Acid, Formamides and Formates from 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone by a Cu/Al2O3 Catalyst with a Single Active Sites

Glycolic acid (GA), as important building block of biodegradable polymers, has been synthesized for the first time in excellent yields at room temperature by selective oxidation of 1,3-dihyroxyacetone (DHA) using a cheap supported Cu/Al2O3 catalyst with single active CuII species. By combining EPR spin-trapping and operando ATR-IR experiments, different mechanisms for the co-synthesis of GA, formates, and formamides have been derived, in which .OH radicals formed from H2O2 by a Fenton-like reaction play a key role.

Herein a non-precious transition-metal catalyst system for the selective synthesis of dialkoxymethane ethers from carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen is presented. The development of a tailored catalyst system based on cobalt salts in combination with selected Triphos ligands and acidic co-catalysts enabled a synthetic pathway, avoiding the oxidation of methanol to attain the formaldehyde level of the central CH2 unit. This unprecedented productivity based on the molecular cobalt catalyst is the first example of a non-precious transition-metal system for this transformation utilizing renewable carbon dioxide sources.

- Alkyl Formate Ester Synthesis by a Fungal Baeyer–Villiger Monooxygenase
-
We investigated Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-mediated synthesis of alkyl formate esters, which are important flavor and fragrance products. A recombinant fungal BVMO from Aspergillus flavus was found to transform a selection of aliphatic aldehydes into alkyl formates with high regioselectivity. Near complete conversion of 10 mm octanal was achieved within 8 h with a regiomeric excess of ~80 %. Substrate concentration was found to affect specific activity and regioselectivity of the BVMO, as well as the rate of product autohydrolysis to the primary alcohol. More than 80 % conversion of 50 mm octanal was reached after 72 h (TTN nearly 20 000). Biotransformation on a 200 mL scale under unoptimized conditions gave a space-time yield (STY) of 4.2 g L?1 d?1 (3.4 g L?1 d?1 extracted product).

A highly efficient and selective method for esterification of formic and acetic acid with alcohols has been achieved at room temperature, with the choline chloride (ChCl)/chromium(iii) chloride hexahydrate (CrCl3·6H2O) deep eutectic solvent as a catalyst. High yields and good selectivities of organic esters are obtained using DES [ChCl][CrCl3·6H2O]2 with the molar ratio 5:1 (carboxylic acids:alcohols) at room temperature in 24 h. The ease of recovery and reusability of DES with high catalytic activity makes this method efficient and practical.

- Hydroxide-promoted selective C(α)-C(β) bond activation of aliphatic ethers by rhodium(III) porphyrins
-
The selective aliphatic C(α)-C(β) bond activation (CCA) of ethers by rhodium(III) porphyrin halides in the presence of KOH was achieved to give Rh-C(β) alkyls up to 88% yield. The addition of H2O and a phase transfer agent Ph4PBr improved the homogeneity of the reaction mixture and significantly brought down the reaction temperature to 60 °C. At this mild temperature, the C(α) co-product was oxidized to the corresponding esters in up to 89% yield. KOH promotes the bond activation by transferring the hydroxyl group to rhodium porphyrin to generate the key intermediate RhIII(ttp)OH (ttp = 5,10,15,20-tetratolylporphyrinate dianion).

A metal-free esterification of alkynes via C≡C triple bond cleavage has been developed. In the presence of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate), a diverse range of alkyne and alcohol substrates undergoes triple bond cleavage to produce carboxylic ester motifs in moderate to good yields. The transformation is proposed to proceed via hydroxyethanones and ethanediones as intermediates on the basis of mechanistic studies and exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.

- Conversion of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and alkyl levulinates catalyzed by sulfonic acid-functionalized carbon materials

A series of sulfonic acid-functionalized carbon materials (C-SO 3H), including poly(p-styrenesulfonic acid)-grafted carbon nanotubes (CNT-PSSA), poly(p-styrenesulfonic acid)-grafted carbon nanofibers (CNF-PSSA), benzenesulfonic acid-grafted CMK-5 (CMK-5-BSA), and benzenesulfonic acid-grafted carbon nanotubes (CNT-BSA), have been studied for fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and fructose alcoholysis to alkyl levulinate. A study for optimizing the reaction conditions such as the catalyst loading, the reaction time, and the temperature has been performed. Under the optimal conditions, high HMF and ethyl levulinate yields of up to 89% and 86%, respectively, are obtained. The catalytic activities of C-SO3H for the conversions of fructose into both HMF and ethyl levulinate follow the order of their acid strength. The relationship between the catalytic activity and acid density of C-SO3H shows a linear correspondence in the fructose dehydration to HMF. The facile separation, ease of recovery, and high thermal stability make the developed C-SO3H efficient and environment-friendly catalytic materials for transforming biomass carbohydrate into fine chemicals.

- Etherification and reductive etherification of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural: 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfurals and 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furans as potential bio-diesel candidates
-
A low energy intensive process for the production of diesel fuel has been delineated from both 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and its sugar precursor d-(-)-fructose. Alcoholic solutions of the above produced a mixture of potential bio-diesel candidates namely, 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfural, 5-(alkoxymethyl) furfural dialkylacetal, and alkyl levulinate, in the presence of solid acid catalysts. Sulfonic acid functionalized resins, Amberlyst-15 and Dowex DR2030 showed exceptional reactivity and selectivity for these reactions. Production of another potential diesel candidate 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furan has been optimized through both sequential reduction/etherification and one-pot reductive etherification processes. During the metal catalyzed hydrogenation of HMF, platinum showed an exclusive selectivity for the reduction of the carbonyl functionality of HMF. Both Pt and Pt/Sn supported on Al2O3 catalysts have been optimized for the production of 2,5-bis(alkoxymethyl)furan from HMF. The reaction mechanisms of etherification and reductive etherification have been discussed in detail on the basis of intermediates observed during these processes. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- An antimony(V) substituted Keggin heteropolyacid, H4PSbMo 11O40: Why is its catalytic activity in oxidation reactions so different from that of H4PVMo11O 40?
-
An antimony(V) containing α-Keggin type acidic polyoxometalate, H4PSbMo11O40, was prepared by reacting NaMoO4, H3PO4 and Sb2O3 in the presence of aqua regia to appraise its reactivity compared to the well known vanadate analog, H4PVMo11O40. Characterization was by X-ray diffraction, MALDI-TOF MS, IR, UV-vis and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Catalytic redox reactions, such as oxidative dehydrogenation using O2 and N2O as terminal oxidants were studied and showed very different reactivity of H4PSbMo 11O40 versus H4PVMo11O40. It was found by DFT calculations that in contrast to analogous H 4PVMo11O40 where vanadium centered catalysis is observed, in H4PSbMo11O40 catalysis is molybdenum and not antimony centered.

The utilization of biomass has recently attracted tremendous attention as a potential alternative to petroleum for the production of liquid fuels and chemicals. We report an efficient alcohol-mediated reactive extraction strategy by which a hydrophobic mixture of butyl levulinate and formate esters, derived from cellulosic biomass, can be converted to valuable γ-valerolactone (GVL) by a simple supported gold catalyst system without need of an external hydrogen source. The essential role of the supported gold is to facilitate the rapid and selective decomposition of butyl formate to produce a hydrogen stream, which enables the highly effective reduction of butyl levulinate into GVL. This protocol simplifies the recovery and recycling of sulfuric acid, which is used for cellulose deconstruction.

To study the recycle ability and stability of the catalyst, H5PW10V2O40 was regenerated at the end of the protection reaction. The catalyst was washed with dichloromethane, dried at room temperature and finally was heated to 130°C for 3h. Catalytic amounts of cheap and simple Keggin type H5PM10V2 led to protection of alcohols with acetic acid in high yields, with reduced reaction times under solvent free conditions.

- Hypervalent λ3-bromane strategy for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation: Selective transformation of primary aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to formates, which is missing in the classical Baeyer-Villiger oxidation
-
A conceptually distinct, modern strategy for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (BVO) was developed. Our novel method involves initial hydration of water to carbonyl compounds, followed by ligand exchange of hypervalent aryl-λ3-bromane on bromane(III) with the resulting hydrate, yielding a new type of activated Criegee intermediate. The intermediate undergoes BV rearrangement and produces an ester via facile reductive elimination of an aryl-λ3-bromanyl group, because of the hypernucleofugality. The novel strategy makes it possible to induce selectively the BV rearrangement of straight chain primary aliphatic as well as aromatic aldehydes, which is missing in the classical BVO: for instance, octanal and benzaldehyde afforded rearranged formate esters with high selectivity (>95%) under our conditions, while the attempted classical BVO produced only carboxylic acids. This firmly establishes the powerful nature of new methodology for BVO.

- Oxidative C-C bond cleavage of primary alcohols and vicinal diols catalyzed by H5PV2Mo10O40 by an electron transfer and oxygen transfer reaction mechanism
-
Primary alcohols such as 1-butanol were oxidized by the H5PV2Mo10O40 polyoxometalate in an atypical manner. Instead of C-H bond activation leading to the formation of butanal and butanoic acid, C-C bond cleavage took place leading to the formation of propanal and formaldehyde as initial products. The latter reacted with the excess 1-butanol present to yield butylformate and butylpropanate in additional oxidative transformations. Kinetic studies including measurement of kinetic isotope effects, labeling studies with 18O labeled H5PV2Mo10O40, and observation of a prerate determining step intermediate by 13C NMR leads to the formulation of a reaction mechanism based on electron transfer from the substrate to the polyoxometalate and oxygen transfer from the reduced polyoxometalate to the organic substrate. It was also shown that vicinal diols such as 1,2-ethanediol apparently react by a similar reaction mechanism. Copyright

- PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF FORMATE ESTERS OR METHANOL AND CATALYST THEREFOR
-
A production process and a catalyst are provided, which can be less decreased in activity of the catalyst even when CO2, water and the like are present in the starting material and/or the reaction system, and which can produce a formic ester or a methanol at a low temperature and a low pressure. The present invention relates to a process for producing methanol, comprising reacting carbon monoxide with an alcohol in the presence of an alkali metal-type catalyst, and/or an alkaline earth metal-type catalyst to produce a formic ester, wherein a hydrogenolysis catalyst of formic ester and hydrogen are allowed to be present together in the reaction system to hydrogenate the produced formic ester and thereby obtain a methanol.

- Preparation of 1-phenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylates and their use in free-radical mediated syntheses
-
Synthetic routes to pure 1-phenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid and derived esters were developed. Esters containing appropriately unsaturated side chains generated the corresponding alkenyl radicals and hence gave good yields of 5-exo ring closure products in organotin-free reactions. Extrusion of phenyl radicals from the intermediate cyclohexadienyl type radicals was not observed, and this alternative β-scission did not compete under any conditions. Yields from alkylations of olefins in analogous intermolecular processes were, however, poor. As a spin-off from the research, it was found that 1-phenylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid (6) was a useful source of hydroxyformyl (formate) radicals in organic solvents.

- Kinetic and product studies of the reactions of selected glycol ethers with OH radicals
-
Glycol ethers are widely used as solvents and are hence liable to be released into the atmosphere where they may contribute to the formation of photochemical air pollution in urban and regional areas. The dominant reaction of glycol ethers in the atmosphere has been previously shown to be with OH radicals. Using a relative rate method, rate constants have been measured at 296 ± 2 K for the gasphase reactions of the OH radical with 1-butoxy-2propanol [CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH2CH (OH)CH3], diethylene glycol ethyl ether [CH3CH2OCH2 CH2OCH2CH2OH], and diethylene glycol n-butyl ether [CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH2 CH2OCH2CH2OH] of (in units of 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) 3.76 ± 0.54, 5.72 ± 0.85, and 7.44 ± 0.94, respectively, where the error limits include the estimated overall uncertainties in the rate constants for the reference compounds. Products of the OH radical-initiated reactions of these glycol ethers have been investigated using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS), in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and in situ atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry (API-MS). The products identified and quantified account for 102 ± 11% of the reaction products from 1-butoxy-2-propanol, 87 ± 9% of those from diethylene glycol ethyl ether, and 83 ± 12% of those from diethylene glycol n-butyl ether. An empirical estimation method for calculating reaction rates of alkoxy radicals under atmospheric conditions appears to fairly well predict the products formed and their yields. Detailed reaction schemes after the initial OH radical reactions are formulated for each of these glycol ethers, with the majority of the reactions involving H-atom abstraction from the CH2 groups adjacent to the ether linkage.

- Formation of secondary ozonides in the gas phase low-temperature ozonation of primary and secondary alkenes
-
The gas-phase ozonation of a series of alkenes RCH=CH2 (R = Et, Hex), trans-RHC=CHR (R = Me, Et, Pri) and Me2C=CMe2 at -40 to 20°C, and that of ethene H2C=CH2 at -120 to 0°C at 10-4 v/v concentrations in N2 at atmospheric pressure have been studied. Using complementary product analysis by means of GC-FTIR and GC-MS techniques, we present conclusive evidence for the formation of secondary alkene ozonides as high-yield products in all instances except Me2C=CMe2. It is shown that the stereoselectivity for the conversion of trans-RHC=CHR (R = Me, Et, Pri) to trans-secondary ozonides in the gas phase is similar to that observed earlier in solution, and that the yields of secondary ozonides from RHC=CH2, but not those from RHC=CHR, significantly decrease with increasing temperature.

- Oh radical-initiated oxidation of 2-butoxyethanol under laboratory conditions related to the troposphere: Product studies and proposed mechanism
-
This type of study provides information on the reaction mechanism of the conversion of a substrate molecule, in this case a glycol ether, into its oxidation products under polluted tropospheric conditions. Such detailed pathways for the breakdown of the substrate molecule lead to the generation of photooxidants, mainly ozone, and are essential input data for computer modeling studies used to derive ozone-creating potentials of volatile organic compounds released into the atmosphere. The products formed by the hydroxyl radical-initiated oxidation of 2-butoxyethanol (C4H9OCH2CH2OH) have been investigated by irradiating synthetic air mixtures containing the substrate, methyl nitrite, and nitric oxide at ppm levels in a Teflon bag reactor at room temperature. The decay of reactant and the formation of products were monitored by gas chromatography and by mass spectrometry. The molar yields of the major products (mol of product formed/mol of 2-butoxyethanol consumed) were as follows: butyl formate (HC(O)OCH2CH2CH2CH3), 0.35 ± 0.11; ethylene glycol monoformate (HC(O)OCH2CH2OH), 0.39 ± 0.18; butoxyacetaldehyde (CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH2C(O)H), 0.12 ± 0.09; 3-hydroxybutyl formate (HC(O)OCH2CH2CHOHCH3), ~0.20; and propionaldehyde, ~0.2-0.3. The yields of minor products were as follows: 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane (CH3CH2CH2CHOCH2CH2O), 0.025 ± 0.005; ethylene glycol monobutyrate (CH3CH2CH2C(O)OCH2CH2OH), ~0.02-0.03; 2-hydroxybutyl formate (HC(O)OCH2CHOHCH2CH3), ~0.05, acetaldehyde, 2- groups in 2- butoxyethanol followed by the subsequent reactions of the resulting alkyl and alkoxy radicals. The mechanism is analogous to that proposed for 2- ethoxyethanol (Stemmler et al. Environ. Sci. Technol. 1996, 20, 3385-3391), in which the alkoxy radicals predominantly undergo decomposition reactions, but also includes isomerization reactions for the alkoxy radicals that are derived from the butyl side chain in 2-butoxyethanol. The observed products, in conjunction with the proposed mechanism, account for a total molar yield of about 1.1, indicating that all the main routes are accounted for in the degradation of this hydroxy ether. Rate coefficients at room temperature for the reactions of OH radicals with butoxyacetaldehyde and 2-propyl-1,3- dioxolane have been determined to be 20.6 x 10-12 and 10.8 x 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, respectively, with error limits of about ±40%, in each case.

- Synthesis of methacrylic-type peroxidic compounds and study of their homolytic induced decomposition in solution
-
Various unsaturated peroxidic compounds have been prepared, characterized and inductively decomposed in various solvents to afford the corresponding oxiranes. The reaction proceeded by a radical chain mechanism and was initiated either by thermolysis of added t-butyl peracetate at 110°C or AIBN at 80°C, or by autoxidation of BEt3 at 20°C. The studied peroxyderivatives were designed to generate oxyl radicals reacting either by isomerization (e.g. intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer, cyclization or β-scission of a cyclic structure), fragmentation or hydrogen atom transfer to solvents to yield functional alkyl radicals.

- Conversion of alkyl halides into the corresponding alcohols under mild reaction conditions
-
Reaction of primary, cyclopentyl, allyl and arylmethyl halides, but not an acyclic secondary halide or a tertiary halide, in acetone or tetrahydrofuran with the formate form of a commercial anion exchange resin gave formate esters in good yields. The formates were hydrolysed efficiently to the corresponding alcohols by a brief treatment with hydrochloric acid. Reaction of primary alkyl bromides or iodides, secondary alkyl bromides, cinnamyl and arylmethyl halides in tetrahydropyran or 1,4-dioxane with the bicarbonate form of the same anion-exchange resin gave the corresponding alcohols directly in good yields. This latter reaction can be carried out successfully in the presence of ester or amide groups.

- Separation of methylene chloride from tetrahydrofuran by extractive distillation
-
Methylene chloride is difficult to separate from tetrahydrofuran by conventional distillation or rectification because of the proximity of their vapor pressures. Methylene chloride can be readily separated from tetrahydrofuran by extractive distillation. Effective agents are 1-pentanol, 1,2-butanediol and 3-nitrotoluene.

- A convenient procedure for the formylation of amines and alcohols using cyanomethyl formate
-
A simple metyod for the direct formylation of amines using cyanomethyl formate is described. The formylation succeeds in moderate to high yields under mild and neutral conditions. Thus, formamides 2a-f, 2i-m are obtained at room temperature. A chemoselective N-formylation is achieved in the case of ethanolamine. The formylation of nitroanilines and the O-formylation of alcohols only succeeds in the presence of a catalytic amount of imidazole leading to 2g,h and 3a-e, respectively.
