Toxicity evaluation

Both the acute oral LD50 value in rats and the acute dermal LD50 value in rabbits exceeded 5 g/kg (Moreno, 1974). In a study of toxicity to fish, the toxic concentration of lauryl acetate to Carassius auratus and Salmo gairdnerii during a 6-hr observation period at 15°C was found to be 5.20 mg/litre.The surface tension (50.1) was not related directly to the toxicity (Marchetti, 1964).

Environmentally benign decarboxylative: N-, O-, and S-Acetylations and acylations

An operationally simple and general method for acetylation and acylation of a wide variety of substrates (amines, alcohols, phenols, thiols, and hydrazones) has been reported. Meldrum's acid and its derivatives have been used as an air-stable, non-volatile, cost-effective, and easy to handle acetylating/acylating agent. Easily separable byproducts (CO2 and acetone) allowed the isolation of analytically pure acetylated products without the requirement of work-up and any chromatography. This journal is

Novel SO3H-functionalized polyoxometalate-based ionic liquids as highly efficient catalysts for esterification reaction

Three novel heteropolyanion-based Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs), butane mono sulfoacid-functionalized 1,10-phenanthrolinum, butane mono and bis sulfoacid-functionalized 1,4-dimethylpiperazinium salts of phosphortungstate catalyst (PhBs1-PW, [PipBs1]3-PW and [PipBs2]3-(PW)2) were synthesized and well characterized with FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR, Electro-Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS), Elemental analysis (CHNS), EDX and TG analysis techniques. The esterification reactions of monocarboxylic acids with monohydric alcohols were carried out using these catalysts. The introduced catalysts present a self-separation performance after reaction, which can be easily recovered and quite steadily reused as confirmed by six-run recycling test. Moreover, bis sulfoacid-functionalized 1,4-dimethylpiperazinium salt of phosphortungstate showed the best catalytic performance among the prepared catalysts for the esterification reaction.

Lipase-mediated selective acetylation of primary alcohols in ethyl acetate

An environmental friendly process to selectively acetylate primary alcohols was demonstrated. The esterification process consists of treatment of a primary alcohol in the presence of immobilized C. antarctica lipase (Novozyme-435) in ethyl acetate at room temperature. Primary alcohols were acetylated in the presence of secondary alcohols and phenols.

A General Catalytic Method for Highly Cost- and Atom-Efficient Nucleophilic Substitutions

A general formamide-catalyzed protocol for the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides, which is promoted by substoichiometric amounts (down to 34 mol %) of inexpensive trichlorotriazine (TCT), is introduced. This is the first example of a TCT-mediated dihydroxychlorination of an OH-containing substrate (e.g., alcohols and carboxylic acids) in which all three chlorine atoms of TCT are transferred to the starting material. The consequently enhanced atom economy facilitates a significantly improved waste balance (E-factors down to 4), cost efficiency, and scalability (>50 g). Furthermore, the current procedure is distinguished by high levels of functional-group compatibility and stereoselectivity, as only weakly acidic cyanuric acid is released as exclusive byproduct. Finally, a one-pot protocol for the preparation of amines, azides, ethers, and sulfides enabled the synthesis of the drug rivastigmine with twofold SN2 inversion, which demonstrates the high practical value of the presented method.

Nucleophilic Substitutions of Alcohols in High Levels of Catalytic Efficiency

A practical method for the nucleophilic substitution (SN) of alcohols furnishing alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides under stereochemical inversion in high catalytic efficacy is introduced. The fusion of diethylcyclopropenone as a simple Lewis base organocatalyst and benzoyl chloride as a reagent allows notable turnover numbers up to 100. Moreover, the use of plain acetyl chloride as a stoichiometric promotor in an invertive SN-type transformation is demonstrated for the first time. The operationally straightforward protocol exhibits high levels of stereoselectivity and scalability and tolerates a variety of functional groups.

Graphite oxide-catalyzed acetylation of alcohols and phenols

Graphite oxide (GO) was used as a catalyst for the reactions of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride. The acetates of primary and secondary alcohols were prepared in good to excellent yields in short reaction time under mild conditions. Electron deficient phenols could be converted to the corresponding acetates steadily. As an efficient catalyst, GO is easily available, cheap, moderately toxic and weakly acidic.

Oxidative "reverse-esterification" of ethanol with benzyl/alkyl alcohols or aldehydes catalyzed by supported rhodium nanoparticles

A very unusual role of polystyrene stabilized rhodium (Rh@PS) nanoparticles as a supported catalyst is described for "reverse-esterification" of ethanol with benzyl/alkyl alcohols or aldehydes. Faster and selective oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and H2 under Rh@PS catalyzed conditions which restricted further oxidation of benzyl/alkyl alcohols and their in situ reaction gave the corresponding acetate esters following the dehydrogenative-coupling approach. A hitherto redox dehydrogenative-coupling of ethanol and aldehydes has also been explored for the same acetate ester synthesis under Rh@PS catalyzed conditions.
