Synergistic catalysis of imidazole acetate ionic liquids for the methanolysis of spiral poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) under a mild condition

Alcoholysis is a potential method for the degradation of polyesters to their precursor building blocks, which can then be polymerized again to form new qualified polyester materials. This method therefore makes recycling possible in a permanent polymer-monomer-polymer loop. In this study, a series of metal-free tetrabutylphosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were prepared as catalysts for the methanolysis of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF), which is well known as an ideal alternative to the petroleum-based plastic poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). It was found that anions with stronger electronegativity were more efficient for the methanolysis of PEF. By adjusting the structures of the anions and cations of ILs, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole acetate ([BMIm][OAc]) exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the methanolysis of PEF. The optimization of reaction parameters enabled the [BMIm][OAc]-catalyzed methanolysis of PEF with nearly 100% PEF degradation and a 77.6% dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (DMFD) yield at 130 °C for 30 min. Furthermore, [BMIm][OAc] could keep high-activity after using for six times under the optimum conditions. Assisting with1H NMR, FT-IR and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, an in-depth study was performed on the feasible synergetic catalytic mechanism of [BMIm][OAc] for the methanolysis of PEF, induced by hydrogen bonds formed between reactants and [BMIm][OAc]. Finally, on the basis of experimental results and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was confirmed that PEF with the spiral motif could be degraded under milder conditions than PET. Therefore, this strategy of using adjustable cation and anion structures in ILs provides an opportunity to develop other more efficient ILs for the alcoholysis of furan-based polymersviaa green and mild pathway.

Introduction of hydrophilic groups onto the ortho-position of benzoate anions induced phase separation of the corresponding ionic liquids with water

Ionic liquids (ILs) composed of tetrabutylphosphonium cations and benzoate anion derivatives with hydrophilic hydroxyl or carboxyl groups introduced onto the ortho-position were found to be less hydrophilic and showed phase separation with water, whereas unmodified benzoate-type IL was freely miscible with water.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,4-DIPHENYL AZETIDINONE DERIVATIVES

The present invention is directed to the preparation of novel compounds useful in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, and other related metabolic disorders. More specifically, the present invention is a novel process for the preparation of 1,4-diphenylazetidinone derivatives from β-substituted amino amides which are protected in the presence of silylating agents and at least one cyclization catalyst whose structural formula is represented by one of the general formula: Wherein the various R-groups are defined herein

METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,4-DIPHENYL AZETIDINONE DERIVATIVES

The invention relates to a method for producing 1,4-diphenyl azetidinone derivatives from suitably protected β-substituted amino amides, in the presence of silylation agents. Said method uses cyclization catalysts that comprise phosphonium ions as the cation of formula (XII), and ions of the following general formulas (a), (b), (c) or (d) as the anion. In said formulas, the symbols, substituents and indices are defined as follows: Z = C=O, C=S, S=O, SO2 or C=NR20; K = O, S, NR21 or CR22R23; L = NR24 or CR25R26; n = 0 or 1; M = O, C=O, NR27 or CR28R29; Q = O, S, NR30, CR31R32,C=O, C=S, S=O, SO2 or C=NR34; R = CR35 or N; T = CR36 or N; U = CR37 or N; V = CR38 or N; the groups R16 to R19can represent, for example, aryl or (C1-C15) alkyl, aryl(C1-C10)alkene, and the groups R20 to R32 and R34 to R38 can represent in addition H or heteroaryl; R39 and R40 represent, for example (C1-C6) alkyl. The anion can also be R41O-,R42COO- or Cl-, Br- or I- (combined with Ag2O).
