METHOD FOR CONVERTING HYDROXYL GROUP OF ALCOHOL
-
Paragraph 0395-0399, (2021/02/19)
The present invention relates to: a method for converting a hydroxyl group of an alcohol; and a catalyst which makes the method possible. A method for converting a hydroxyl group of an alcohol according to the present invention is characterized by producing a compound represented by CH(R1)(R2)Nu (wherein R1, R2 and Nu are as defined below) by reacting an alcohol represented by CH(R1)(R2)OH (wherein each of R1 and R2 represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, or the like) and a compound having an active proton, which is represented by H-Nu (wherein Nu represents a group represented by —CHX1-EWG1 or —NR3R4; X1 represents a hydrogen atom or the like; EWG1 represents an electron-withdrawing group; and each of R3 and R4 represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, or the like), with each other in the presence of a complex of a group 7-11 metal of the periodic table and at least one solid base that is selected from the group consisting of layered double hydroxides, composite oxides and calcium hydroxide.

An Ir-oxalamidato complex in combination with a solid base (e.g., magnesium aluminometasilicate/Ca(OH)2) significantly improved the catalyst productivity in α-alkylation of methyl ketones with primary alcohols. Optimization through systematic variation of the oxalamidato ligand led to a practical turnover number (TON) of 10 000.40 000.
