Bimetallic Ag-Cu alloy nanoparticles as a highly active catalyst for the enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Bimetallic nanoparticles, particularly those based on copper, have recently attracted a great deal of attention for the development of low cost and highly active catalysts due to the synergistic interaction between individual metal components. In this work, bimetallic Ag-Cu alloy nanoparticles were explored as a highly active and reusable catalyst for the enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyls using diverse amines. The nanocatalysts were intensively characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy (HRTEM-EDS) and valence band and core level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to study the effect of the bimetallic structure and composition. In comparison to monometallic Ag and Cu nanoparticles, the alloyed Ag-Cu nanoparticles showed a high catalytic performance and the resultant catalytic activity was dependant on the Ag to Cu ratio. This enhanced catalytic activity should be related to the electronic interaction between Ag and Cu nanoparticles formed due to the intimate contact between them. Our study may serve as a foundation for designing efficient alloyed nanocatalysts for fine chemical synthesis via enamination reactions.

A novel and reusable magnetic nanocatalyst developed based on graphene oxide incorporated strontium nanoparticles for the facial synthesis of β-enamino ketones under solvent-free conditions

A novel magnetic SrFeGO nanocatalyst (NC) was synthesized through a simple sol–gel technique by introducing strontium and iron oxide nanoparticles onto graphene. The synthesized NC was characterized using FT-IR and FE-SEM. Subsequently, the catalytic activity of SrFeGO was tested in a reaction between β-dicarbonyl compounds and aniline derivatives to gain β-enamino ketone derivatives under solvent-free conditions. It was found that SrFeGO NC is a potential catalyst for the synthesis of β-enamino ketones. The β-enamino ketone produced by such reactions could be isolated in high purity without the need for chromatographic purifications. The newly prepared magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite could be recovered and reused for numerous times with no significant decrease in efficiency. Moreover, the protocol has the advantages of excellent yielding (up to 98%) in short a reaction time, benefitting an easy workup procedure and being environmentally friendly.

Citrus juice: Green and natural catalyst for the solvent-free silica supported synthesis of β-enaminones using grindstone technique

Aim and Objective: Citrus Juice as an efficient, cost-effective and green catalyst employed for one-pot synthesis of various β-substituted enaminones through the reaction of β-dicarbonyl compounds with different primary amines in a solvent-free conditions on silica gel as solid surface using grindstone technique in high yields and short reaction times. The presented procedure is operationally simple, practical and green. Material and Methods: The wide application of this procedure is demonstrated by the use of various substituted amines to react with β-dicarbonyl compounds. The method was successfully applied for primary amines (15 entries) and the related enaminones were well synthesized in good to excellent yields. Melting points were measured on an Electro thermal 9100 apparatus. 1HNMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a FTNMR BRUKER DRX 500 Avence spectrometer. Chemical shifts were given in ppm from TMS as internal references and CDCl3 was used as the solvent as well. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer FT-IR GX instrument. The chemicals used in this work were purchased from Merck and Fluka chemical companies. Results: Grinding synthesis of citrus juice catalyzed enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyls (acetylacetone, methyl and ethyl-3-oxobutanoate) with various primary amines (aromatic and aliphatic) under solvent-free silica supported conditions was examined and studied (15 entries) and the obtained enaminones were well synthesized in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the effect of various catalysts on the yield and reaction time for grinding synthesis of 3-phenylamino-but-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (1) by this method has evaluated as well. Conclusion: a novel, efficient and green protocol for the grinding synthesis of enaminones using citrus juice as natural catalyst has been presented. This methodology is user friendly, green and low cost procedure under mild reaction condition with faster reaction rates. The citrus juice is inexpensive and non-toxic which makes the process convenient, more economic and benign. Furthermore, applying grindstone technique in solvent-free conditions, use of silica gel as a solid and heterogeneous surface in reaction, high yields of products, cleaner reaction profiles, and availability of the reagents makes this method a better choice for synthetic chemists.

Design of a graphene oxide-SnO2 nanocomposite with superior catalytic efficiency for the synthesis of β-enaminones and β-enaminoesters

A graphene oxide (GO)-SnO2-based nanocomposite was synthesized by decorating the graphene oxide surface with SnO2 nanoparticles via a solvothermal process. The nanocomposite was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), FT-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Field-emission Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption/desorption study. The FE-SEM and TEM images demonstrate the uniform distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles on the GO surface and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirms an average particle size of 8-12 nm. The GO-SnO2 nanocomposite has been found to be an extremely efficient catalyst for the synthesis of β-enaminones and β-enaminoesters in methanol solvent and also, in solventless conditions. The GO-SnO2 nanocomposites exhibited synergistically more superior catalytic efficiency compared to pure graphene oxide and SnO2 nanoparticles. The reaction conditions were optimized by changing different parameters such as catalyst, solvent, catalyst loading, and temperature. It has been found that the catalyst gave higher activity under solventless conditions than methanol. The GO-SnO2 composite was recycled for up to four cycles with minimal loss in activity.

Facile synthesis of substituted pyrrole-fused isocoumarins from ninhydrin

A simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of substituted pyrrole-fused isocoumarins from easily available ninhydrin. The cyclic hemiaminal dihydroxy-indenopyrroles, the adducts of ninhydrin with enamines of acetylacetone, give pyrrole-fused isocoumarins upon heating in acidic medium. The process constitutes an interesting acid-catalyzed rearrangement to eight-membered lactams followed by intramolecular cyclization involving the amino and keto groups.
