Cs-Beta with an Al-rich composition as a highly active base catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation

Ion-exchange of an Al-rich zeolite beta, synthesized by organic structure-directing agent-free method (Beta-OF), was studied for application as a base catalyst. While the as-synthesized Beta-OF in Na-form itself had base sites and showed moderate catalyti

A benchtop NMR spectrometer as a tool for monitoring mesoscale continuous-flow organic synthesis: Equipment interface and assessment in four organic transformations

An approach is reported for monitoring continuous-flow reactions by means of a low-field benchtop NMR spectrometer. The spectrometer is interfaced with a mesofluidic reactor and used as a tool for optimising four organic transformations, namely an acid-catalysed esterification, a Knoevenagel condensation, a Diels-Alder reaction, and an alkylation. Reactions need to be performed either solvent-free or at relatively high concentration in order to monitor them effectively using the NMR spectrometer, but this allows for the leveraging of one of the key advantages of flow processing, namely process intensification.

On the enantioselective phosphoric-acid-catalyzed hantzsch synthesis of polyhydroquinolines

A reinvestigation of a chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed four-component Hantzsch enantioselective synthesis of polyhydroquinolines reported in 2009 is presented. In our hands, when the reaction was performed with fidelity to the original report using a chiral enantiopure phosphoric acid catalyst, no enantioselectivity was observed. Unlike in the original report, enantioselectivity results are backed by baseline separation of the enantiomers by HPLC analyses on chiral stationary phase with UV and chiroptical detection.

An asymmetric domino Michael/Michael reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 1 and α-acetyl-β-substituted-α,β-unsaturated esters 2 catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether was developed. This is a formal carbo [4+2] cycloaddition reaction affording penta-s

Reductive Knoevenagel Condensation with the Zn-AcOH System

An efficient gram-scale one-pot approach to 2-substituted malonates and related structures is developed, starting from commercially available aldehydes and active methylene compounds. The technique combines Knoevenagel condensation with the reduction of the C=C bond in the resulting activated alkenes with the Zn-AcOH system. The relative ease with which the C=C bond reduction occurs can be traced to the accepting abilities of the substituents in the intermediate arylidene malonates.

Highly Efficient Synthesis of Substituted 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones (DHPMs) Catalyzed by Hf(OTf)4: Mechanistic insights into reaction pathways under metal Lewis acid catalysis and solvent-free conditions

In our studies on the catalytic activity of Group IVB transition metal Lewis acids, Hf(OTf)4 was identified as a highly potent catalyst for”one-pot, three-component” Biginelli reaction. More importantly, it was found that solvent-free conditions, in contrast to solvent-based conditions, could dramatically promote the Hf(OTf)4-catalyzed formation of 3,4-dihydro-pyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones. To provide a mechanistic explanation, we closely examined the catalytic effects of Hf(OTf)4 on all three potential reaction pathways in both “sequential bimolecular condensations” and “one-pot, three-component” manners. The experimental results showed that the synergistic effects of solvent-free conditions and Hf(OTf)4 catalysis not only drastically accelerate Biginelli reaction by enhancing the imine route and activating the enamine route but also avoid the formation of Knoevenagel adduct, which may lead to an undesired byproduct. In addition, 1H-MMR tracing of the H-D exchange reaction of methyl acetoacetate in MeOH-d4 indicated that Hf(IV) cation may significantly accelerate ketone-enol tautomerization and activate the β-ketone moiety, thereby contributing to the overall reaction rate.
