Study of reaction of isomeric acetoxytoluenes with ozone in liquid phase in the presence of manganese bromide catalyst

The kinetics of the ozone reaction with isomeric acetoxytoluenes in acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid and mixed manganese bromide catalyst was studied. Under these conditions it is possible to stop the oxidation process at the stage of formation of hydroxybenzaldehydes in the form of the respective acetoxybenzylidendiacetates (63-70%). The reaction products contain also acetoxybenzyl acetate (16-18%) and a small amount of acetoxybenzyl bromide (2%). The mechanism of oxidation-reduction catalysis with manganese bromide complex explaining the experimental data was considered. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2010.

Practical way for the synthesis of 3,3′-bis-substituted benzo[d][1,2]oxaphosphole 2-oxides by phosphonylation of in situ generated o-quinone methides

Phosphonylation of the pretreated 2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol derivatives with acetic anhydride using trialkylphosphites as the nucleophilic reagents was reported, providing a practical way to the synthesis of novel highly steric 3,3′-bis-substituted benzo[d][1,2]oxaphosphole 2-oxides.

4-Imidazol-1-yl-butane-1-sulfonic acid ionic liquid: Synthesis, structural analysis, physical properties and catalytic application as dual solvent-catalyst

4-Imidazol-1-yl-butane-1-sulfonic acid (ImBu-SO3H) has been successfully synthetized and fully characterized by FT-IR and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C). The “plausible” alternative structures of ImBu-SO3H were discussed on the basis of its NMR data. The ionic liquid showed interesting dual solvent-catalyst property, which was studied experimentally for the acetylation of a variety of functionalized alcohols, phenols, thiols, amines and α-tocopherol (α-CTP) as the most active form of vitamin E with acetic anhydride and which provided good yields within a short reaction time. ImBu-SO3H was successfully recycled by product extraction with an average recovered yield of 82% for 5 subsequent runs. The catalytic activity of the recycled ImBu-SO3H showed almost no loss even after five consecutive runs.

Poly(N-vinylimidazole) as an efficient catalyst for acetylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines under solvent-free conditions

Poly(N-vinylimidazole) is able to promote instantaneous quantitative acetylation of a variety of functionalized alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines with acetic anhydride at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. This new method consistently has excellent yields and the catalyst can be reused and recovered several times. Furthermore, the reaction can even be carried out on a larger scale.
