Highly efficient synthesis of 1,3-dioxanes via prins reaction in bronsted-acidic imidazolium ionic liquid

The high-yielding synthesis of a wide variety of 1,3-dioxanes via the Prins reaction under mild conditions has been demonstrated using Bronsted- acidic imidazolium ionic liquid [bmim(SO3H)][OTf] or bmimOTf. The use of ionic liquid makes this synthesis simple, convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, bmimOTf was conveniently separated from the products and can be easily recycled for the Prins reaction with excellent yields. This method works well with a variety of aliphatic aldehydes including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde.

Novel hydrophobic Bronsted acidic ionic-liquids as efficient and reusable catalysts for organic reactions in water

Novel Hydrophobic Bronsted acidic ionic liquids (HBAIL) were prepared and utilized as acid catalysts in organic reactions in water. HBAILs were demonstrated, for the first time, to be effective catalysts for Prins cyclization of styrene derivatives in water with a formaldehyde water solution. Many styrene derivatives could be successfully converted to the corresponding 1,3-dioxanes. Other dehydration reactions also proceeded well using HBAILs in water. After reactions, HBAILs could be easily recovered and reused without significant loss of activity. Copyright
