REACTIVE FORM OF 12-MOLYBDOSILICATE CATALYST ON FRIEDEL-CRAFTS-TYPE REACTION

Stepwise replacement of protons in H4 by tetrabutylammonium cation and catalysis by the replaced compounds for alkylation of toluene with benzyl chloride have been investigated.Only threeprotonated compound showed comparable activity with that of parent one.

High alkylation activities of ball-milled synthesized low-load supported iron oxide nanoparticles on mesoporous aluminosilicates

Low-load iron oxide nanoparticles on Al-SBA-15 prepared using a novel dry milling approach exhibited excelling activities in the microwave-assisted akylation of toluene with benzyl chloride (Lewis acids promoted reaction) and benzyl alcohol (Br?nsted acids promoted reaction) as compared to the parent Al-SBA-15 and similar iron oxide nanoparticles supported on Al-MCM-41 materials. Materials prepared using the milling protocol possessed remarkably low iron loadings (0.1 wt%) but featured highly accessible sites and small nanoparticle sizes that seemed to be related to the observed differences in activities in the systems.

Hydrothermal etching assisted crystallization: A facile route to functional yolk-shell titanate microspheres with ultrathin nanosheets-assembled double shells

We report a facile "hydrothermal etching assisted crystallization" route to synthesize Fe3O4@titanate yolk-shell microspheres with ultrathin nanosheets-assembled double-shell structure. The as-prepared microspheres possess a uniform size, tailored shell structure, good structural stability, versatile ion-exchange capability, high surface area, large magnetization, and exhibit a remarkable catalytic performance.

Multifunctional oxygen vacancies in WO3–x for catalytic alkylation of C–H by alcohols under red-light

Surface reaction kinetics and light absorption properties of a photocatalyst are essential demands for efficiently solar to chemical energy converting. In this study, plasmonic WO3–x was firstly applied to photocatalytic alkylation of arenes under red light irradiation. The oxygen vacancies, both on the surface and in the bulk of WO3–x, allow abundant free electrons to increase carrier densities and support its LSPR using low energy photons. The surface oxygen vacancies have more functions: they not only release surface tungsten sites which ensure the chemisorption of alcohols due to the coordianation ability but also promote the activation of alcohols via an efficient transport of the holes on the neighbouring O sites to chemisorption alcohol species. In brief, the bulk oxygen vacancies provide abundant charges and the surface vacancies promote the bond adsorption and activation abilities, which ensure the high efficiency of photocatalytic alkylation of C–H.

Conversion of Aryl Aldehydes to Benzyl Iodides and Diarylmethanes by H3PO3/I2

For the first time, H3PO3 was used as both the reducing reagent and the promotor in the reductive benzylation reactions with aryl aldehydes. By using a H3PO3/I2 combination, various aromatic aldehydes underwent iodination reactions and Friedel-Crafts type reactions with arenes via benzyl iodide intermediates, readily producing benzyl iodides and diarylmethanes in good yields. Intramolecular cyclization reactions also took place, giving the corresponding cyclic compounds. This new strategy features easy-handling, low-cost, and metal-free conditions.
