Catalyst Poisoning Phenomenon in Phase Transfer Catalysis: Effect of Aqueous Phase Concentration

Catalyst poisoning was studied in the phase transfer-catalysed esterification of alkyl chlorides by sodium formate; the poisoning effect is minimized by use of highly concentrated formate solutions where high conversion and first order kinetics are observed.

N,S-Dimethyldithiocarbamyl oxalates as precursors for determining kinetic parameters for oxyacyl radicals

Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of ethyl formate to octyl formate

The preparation of octyl formate via lipase-catalyzed transesterification of ethyl formate with 1-octanol is demonstrated. To shift the equilibrium of the reaction, ethyl formate was added in surplus but could be partially recovered for subsequent reactions. The same was true for the biocatalyst (Novo435), which could be reused at least 27 times. This method gives simple access to a hydrophobic formic acid ester, which can be used as a reactive organic phase in biocatalytic redox reactions. The enzymatically prepared octyl formate can be utilized by formate dehydrogenase to regenerate NADH from NAD+.

Acidic ionic liquid based UiO-67 type MOFs: A stable and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for esterification

A facile strategy for the synthesis of acidic ionic liquid based UiO-67 type MOFs was developed in this study. Br?nsted acids (H2SO4, CF3SO3H and hifpOSO3H (hexafluoroisopropyl sulfuric acid)) were introduced into UiO-67-bpy (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid) frameworks by reacting with bipyridyl nitrogen to introduce the properties of an acidic ionic liquid into the frameworks. The prepared catalysts, denoted as UiO-67-HSO4, UiO-67-CF3SO3 and UiO-67-hifpOSO3, were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, EA, TGA and N2 adsorption-desorption studies. The relatively high surface area was still maintained and acidic active groups were uniformly dispersed in the frameworks. The catalytic performance of UiO-67-HSO4, UiO-67-CF3SO3 and UiO-67-hifpOSO3 was evaluated by the esterification of acetic acid with isooctyl alcohol. The prepared catalysts showed good catalytic activities in the esterification, of which UiO-67-CF3SO3 gave the maximum isooctyl alcohol conversion of 98.6% under optimized conditions. The catalyst could be reused five times without a significant decrease in the conversion of isooctyl alcohol, and almost no active species were leached, indicating the excellent stability and reusability of the catalyst. Our study provides one effective way to synthesize heterogeneous acidic ionic liquid catalysts consisting of isolated, well defined acidic groups that will probably attract interest in acid catalyst chemistry.

A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates.

Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.
