- Dehydrative Beckmann rearrangement and the following cascade reactions
-
The Beckmann rearrangement has been predominantly studied for the synthesis of amide and lactam. By strategically using the in situ generated Appel's salt or Mitsunobu's zwitterionic adduct as the dehydrating agent, a series of Beckmann rearrangement and following cascade reactions have been developed herein. The protocol allows the conversion of various ketoximes into amide, thioamide, tetrazole and imide products in modular procedures. The generality and tolerance of functionalities of this method have been demonstrated.

A side chain insertion method for the ring expansion of lactams into macrocyclic thiolactones is reported, that can also be incorporated into Successive Ring Expansion (SuRE) sequences. The reactions are less thermodynamically favourable than the analogous lactam- and lactone-forming ring expansion processes (with this notion supported by DFT data), but nonetheless, three complementary protecting group strategies have been developed to enable this challenging transformation to be achieved.

- Chlorotropylium Promoted Conversions of Oximes to Amides and Nitriles
-
Chlorotropylium chloride as a catalyst for the transformations of oximes, ketones, and aldehydes to their corresponding amides and nitriles in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and in short reaction times (mostly 10–15 min). Oximes were electrophilically attacked on the hydroxyl oxygen by chlorotropylium. The produced tropylium oxime ethers were the key intermediates, of which the ketoxime ether led to amide through Beckmann rearrangement, and the aldoxime ether led to nitrile by nitrogen base DBU assisted formal dehydration. This chlorotropylium activation protocol offered general, mild, and efficient avenues bifurcately from oximes to both amides and nitriles by one organocatalyst.

- Nitromethane as a nitrogen donor in Schmidt-type formation of amides and nitriles
-
The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

- Dichloroimidazolidinedione-Activated Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketoximes for Accessing Amides and Lactams
-
A novel protocol for the activation of the Beckmann rearrangement utilizing the readily available and economical geminal dichloroimidazolidinediones (DCIDs) on a substoichiometric scale (10 mol %) has been developed. A unique self-propagating mechanism for the substoichiometric dichloroimidazolidinedione-activated transformation was proposed and validated. The substrate scope of the developed protocol has been demonstrated by 23 examples with good to excellent yields (mostly 90-98%) in a short time (mostly 10-30 min), including a substrate for synthesizing the monomer of nylon-12 and a complicated steroidal substrate on a preparative scale. This research not only unveils for the first time the synthetic potential of substoichiometric amounts of dichloroimidazolidinediones in promoting chemical transformation but also offers yet another important illustration of the self-propagating cycle in the context of the Beckmann rearrangement activated by a structurally novel organic promoter.

- Scope and mechanism of a true organocatalytic beckmann rearrangement with a boronic acid/perfluoropinacol system under ambient conditions
-
Catalytic activation of hydroxyl functionalities is of great interest for the production of pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. Here, 2-alkoxycarbonyl- and 2-phenoxycarbonyl-phenylboronic acid were identified as efficient catalysts for the direct and chemoselective activation of oxime N-OH bonds in the Beckmann rearrangement. This classical organic reaction provides a unique approach to prepare functionalized amide products that may be difficult to access using traditional amide coupling between carboxylic acids and amines. Using only 5 mol % of boronic acid catalyst and perfluoropinacol as an additive in a polar solvent mixture, the operationally simple protocol features mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, and a high functional group tolerance. A wide variety of diaryl, aryl-alkyl, heteroaryl-alkyl, and dialkyl oximes react under ambient conditions to afford high yields of amide products. Free alcohols, amides, carboxyesters, and many other functionalities are compatible with the reaction conditions. Investigations of the catalytic cycle revealed a novel boron-induced oxime transesterification providing an acyl oxime intermediate involved in a fully catalytic nonself-propagating Beckmann rearrangement mechanism. The acyl oxime intermediate was prepared independently and was subjected to the reaction conditions. It was found to be self-sufficient; it reacts rapidly, unimolecularly without the need for free oxime. A series of control experiments and 18O labeling studies support a true catalytic pathway involving an ionic transition structure with an active and essential role for the boronyl moiety in both steps of transesterification and rearrangement. According to 11B NMR spectroscopic studies, the additive perfluoropinacol provides a transient, electrophilic boronic ester that is thought to serve as an internal Lewis acid to activate the ortho-carboxyester and accelerate the initial, rate-limiting step of transesterification between the precatalyst and the oxime substrate.

- A Deep Cavitand Templates Lactam Formation in Water
-
Cyclization reactions are common processes in organic chemistry and show familiar patterns of reaction rates vs ring size. While the details vary with the nature of bond being made and the number of unsaturated atoms, small rings typically form quickly despite angle strain, medium size rings form very slowly due to internal strains, and large rings form slowly (when they form at all) because fewer and less probable conformations bring the ends of the substrate together. High dilution is commonly used to slow the competing bi- and higher molecular processes. Here we apply cavitands to the formation of medium size lactams from ω-amino acids in aqueous (D2O) solution. The cavitands bind the amino acids in folded conformations that favor cyclization by bringing the ends closer together. Yields of a 12-membered lactam are improved 4.1-fold and 13-membered lactam 2.8-fold by the cavitand template. The results open possibilities for moving organic reactions into water even when the processes involve dehydration.

The presence of octadecyltrichloro silane and triethylamine in the sample has been confirmed from EDAX studies. TG/DTA analysis reveals the thermal characteristics of the synthesized material. The presence of titanium in the frame work and its coordination state has been studies by UV-vis DR studies and XPS analysis. Chemical environment of Si in the framework of the material has been studied by 29SiMASNMR studies. The surface area of the material is found to be around 550 m2g-1 and pore radius is of nano range from BET analysis. The spherical morphology and particle size of the core as well as shell has been found to be 300 nm and 50 nm respectively from TEM analysis. The catalytic application of this material towards the synthesis of caprolactam from cyclohexanone in presence of hydrogen peroxide through ammoxidation reaction has been investigated.

- Enzyme-catalyzed laurolactam synthesis via intramolecular amide bond formation in aqueous solution
-
Lactam formation from ω-aminocarboxylic acids is thermodynamically unfavored in aqueous solution and therefore hard to achieve. In the present work ω-laurolactam hydrolases from Acidovorax sp. T31 and Cupriavidus sp. U124 were investigated regarding their potential to catalyze lactam formation. Both enzymes are known to hydrolyze laurolactam to 12-aminododecanoic acid. The ω-laurolactam hydrolase genes were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and the catalytic activity of the respective proteins was investigated. As expected from thermodynamics, only laurolactam hydrolysis but not 12-aminododecanoic acid cyclization was observed in whole-cell biotransformations and cell extract assays. The utilization of 12-aminododecanoic acid methyl ester, as an activated form of 12-aminododecanoic acid, resulted in intramolecular amide bond formation with the product laurolactam. Maximum laurolactam formation rates of 13.5 and 14.3 U g CDW-1 and molar yields of 11.5% and 13.0% were achieved in biotransformations at pH 10 with recombinant E. coli harboring the ω-laurolactam hydrolase from Cupriavidus sp. U124 and Acidovorax sp. T31, respectively. Furthermore, it was shown that under the harsh reaction conditions applied, the utilization of whole-cell biocatalysts enables 17.2-fold higher laurolactam formation activity in comparison to free enzymes in solution. This study shows that hydrolase-catalyzed laurolactam synthesis can be achieved in aqueous solution by selection of an appropriate substrate and reaction pH. Copyright

- Cyclopropenium ion catalysed Beckmann rearrangement
-
1-Chloro-2,3-diphenylcyclopropenium ion was found to be a very efficient organocatalyst (3 mol% loading) for liquid phase Beckmann rearrangement of various ketoximes to the corresponding amides/lactams within 2 h in acetonitrile at reflux temperature. This is the first example of the application of the cyclopropenium ion as a catalyst, which opens up a new aspect of the synthetic utility of aromatic cation based catalysis.

- In situ multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopy study of Beckmann rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime in ionic liquids: The nature of catalytic sites
-
The Beckmann rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime into ω-laurolactam has been investigated in four ionic liquids: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrafluoroborate ([C4mim], [C4mim]), and 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium and 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphates ([C4mpyr], [C4m2im]), in a batch reactor as well as by 'in situ' multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The Beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclododecanone oxime takes place in [C4mim] and [C4mpyr] with excellent activity and selectivity, while practically null activity is observed in [C4m2im] and [C4mim]. The results obtained indicate that a very low level of hydrolysis of the PF6- anion in [C4mim] and [C4mpyr] occurs under reaction conditions (130 °C), and the HF formed at the level of ppm acts as catalyst in the Beckmann rearrangement with excellent conversion and selectivity.

- Catalytic Beckmann rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime
-
The catalytic Beckmann rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime (CDOX) was investigated in silane-nitrile-solvent systems. We have found that chlorosilanes, such as trimethylchlorosilane and tetrachlorosilane, are effective catalysts to produce ω- laurolactam (LRL) at 100 °C. Tetrachlorosilane is the most active catalyst, and hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexane, hexane, and decane are suitable for the system. Nitriles such as acetonitrile and benzonitrile would play an important role as a remover of silane species from the produced LRL-silane salt.

- Beckmann-rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime to ω-laurolactam in the gas phase
-
The classical route for the industrial production of ω-laurolactam is the homogeneously catalyzed Beckmann-rearrangement of cyclododecanone oxime in the liquid state using fuming sulfuric acid catalyst. Contrary to that, a completely different way is shown in the present work. In addition to the use of a solid acid catalyst, the vapor phase was chosen. From a process technical point of view it is a superior route compared with the classical one. Following intensive investigations of the vapor phase behavior of substrate, product and the main by-products, a catalyst screening of the most promising materials was performed. In addition, a modification of the most active catalysts was carried out to get more information about reaction sites and to optimize the catalyst activity. Using an acid treated [Al,B]-BEA zeolite at a temperature of approx. 320 °C and reduced pressures, complete conversion combined with excellent selectivity of 98% were obtained. The accumulation of reactants in the fixed bed was less than 5 wt%. Furthermore, investigations of deactivation and regeneration behavior of the catalyst were done. It could be demonstrated that the catalytic material could be regenerated under oxidative atmosphere as well as under non-oxidative conditions through thermal desorption of the deactivating compounds without any measurable loss of catalytic performance.

- Unexpected results from the re-investigation of the Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes into amides by using TsCl
-
TsCl (p-toluenesulfonyl chloride), a commercially available organosulfonyl chloride, has been widely used as a stoichiometric dehydrogenation reagent in the transformation of ketoximes into corresponding amides via the Beckmann rearrangement. It has been now found to catalyze the Beckmann rearrangement with high catalytic efficiency, converting a wide range of ketoximes into their corresponding amides under mild condition with good to excellent yields (up to 99% of yield with 1-5 mol % of catalyst loading).
