An access to α, β-unsaturated ketones via dual cooperative catalysis

A dual cooperative organocatalytic approach for the synthesis of α, β-unsaturated ketones is described. This one pot transformation is realized via a domino Knoevenagel-Michael-retro Michael reaction sequence. Various aliphatic ketones reacted smoothly with aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes in presence catalytic amount of Meldrum's acid and bifunctional amine. The highlights of this protocol are the easy availability of catalysts, high selectivity, and functional group tolerance. The reaction proved to highly E-selective with no side products emanating from self-condensation, unlike the base-mediated reactions.

Cross-linked polystyrene-TiCl4 complex as a reusable Lewis acid catalyst for solvent-free Knoevenagel condensations of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with aldehydes

Cross-linked polystyrene copolymer beads with the average particle size in the range of (50–80 mesh size) were prepared by a new method, characterized and functionalized with titanium tetrachloride to afford the corresponding polystyrene?titanium tetrachloride complex in one step reaction and characterized by FT-IR, UV, TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, BET. This polymer metal complex (PS/TiCl4) was used as a heterogeneous, recoverable, reusable Lewis acid for solvent-free Knoevenagel condensations of 1,3-diketones with aromatic aldehydes under green and mild conditions. The rate of reactions was found to decrease with an increasing percentage of crosslinking and the mesh size of the copolymer beads. This complex showed good stability and catalytic activity in the Knoevenagel reactions.
