Method for promoting acylation of amine or alcohol by carbon dioxide

The invention relates to a method for promoting acylation of amine or alcohol by carbon dioxide, which comprises the following steps of: mixing an amine compound, carboxylate or thiocarboxylate compound and a reaction solvent under the action of carbon dioxide, and reacting to obtain an amide compound, or under the action of carbon dioxide, mixing the alcohol compound, the thiocarboxylate compound and the reaction solvent [gamma]-valerolactone, and reacting to obtain the ester compound. According to the invention, under the promotion action of carbon dioxide, carboxylate or thiocarboxylate is used as an acylation reagent, and amine and alcohol are converted into amide and ester compounds in the absence of a transition metal catalyst, so that acylation reagents such as acyl chloride or anhydride with irritation and corrosivity are avoided; and the method has the advantages of simple operation, mild reaction conditions, high tolerance of substrate functional groups, strong applicability and high yield, and provides an efficient, reliable and economical preparation method for synthesis of amide and ester compounds.

Highly Active Manganese-Mediated Acylation of Alcohols with Acid Chlorides or Anhydrides

To explore further the practical uses of highly active manganese (Mn?), a variety of alcohols were treated with Mn?, and the resulting complexes were coupled with acid chlorides and/or acetic anhydride in the absence of any extra catalyst. The subsequent reactions took place smoothly under mild conditions, providing the corresponding O-acylation products in good to excellent isolated yields.

Ethyl acetate as an acetyl surrogate for the iodine catalyzed acetylation of alcohols

The use of readily available ethyl acetate in the presence of iodine as an alternative acetylating agent is reported. Amines and phenols were unreactive under the examined reaction conditions, indicating that the method is highly chemoselective.

ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols and amines with acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions

A ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was prepared from metal nitrates and tetraethyl orthosilicate by the sol-gel process, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The nanocomposite was tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for the acetylation of alcohols, phenols, and amines under solvent-free conditions. Under optimized conditions, efficient acetylation of these substrates with acetic anhydride over the ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was obtained. Acetylation of anilines and primary aliphatic amines proceeded rapidly at room temperature, while the reaction time was longer for the acetylation of alcohols and phenols, showing that an amine NH2 group can be selectively acetylated in the presence of alcoholic or phenolic OH groups. The catalyst can be reused without obvious loss of catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of the ZnAl2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite was higher than that of pure ZnAl2O4. The method gives high yields, and is clean, cost effective, compatible with substrates having other functional groups and it is suitable for practical organic synthesis.

H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal method: A new and reusable heteropoly acid catalyst for highly efficient acetylation of alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions

A new Keggin-type heteropoly acid, namely decamolybdodivanadogermanic acid (H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O), with nanosized particles (5-8 nm), has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and potentiometric titration. H6GeMo10V2O40·16H 2O revealed high catalytic activity for acetylation of various alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride at room temperature (298 ± 2 K) and under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily recovered and used repeatedly for five cycles with a slight loss of activity. The catalytic activity of H6GeMo10V2O40· 16H2O was higher than that of other Keggin-type heteropoly acids, such as H3PW12O40, H3PMo 12O40 and H4SiW12O40.

A compound having a partial structure represented by Formula: or a salt thereof has an excellent phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV-inhibiting effect, and is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent against inflammatory diseases, for example, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease, diabetes and the like.

Selective functionalisation of hydrocarbons by nitric acid and aerobic oxidation catalysed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and iodine under mild conditions

Alkylbenzenes are selectively functionalised to the corresponding acetates by nitric aerobic oxidation catalysed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and iodine. With cyclohexane the oxidation leads to a mixture of cyclohexyl acetate and trans-2-iodocyclohexyl acetate. The mechanism is discussed.

Reductive esterification of aromatic aldehydes using Zn/Ac 2O/imidazole or Zn/Yb(OTf)3/(RCO)2O system

Benzaldehydes are reduced by metallic zinc in the presence of Ac 2O and imidazole, giving the corresponding benzyl acetates in good yields. Reductive esterification of aromatic aldehydes is also carried out via gem-diacetoxy compounds. Carbonyl compounds are readily converted to the gem-diacyloxy compounds in excellent yields on treatment with 2molar amounts of acid anhydride and 10mol% of Yb(OTf)3 in MeCN at room temperature. Thus-formed diacyloxy compounds derived from aromatic aldehydes are reduced in situ by metallic zinc to afford the corresponding esters.

Process for producing cyanobenzyl compounds

An industrially advantageous process for producing cyanobenzyl compounds under mild conditions from relatively easily available cyanobenzylamine having a cyano group on the benzene ring or a compound thereof which is ring-substituted with a chlorine atom, a fluorine atom, etc. The process for producing a cyanobenzyl compound includes transforming an aminomethyl group of a cyanobenzylamine compound into a hydroxymethyl group, a halogenomethyl group, or an acyloxymethyl group without causing damage to a cyano group on the benzene ring. The transformation may be carried out by use of nitrosonium ions.

Photochemistry of substituted benzyl acetates and benzyl pivalates: A reinvestigation of substituent effects

The photosolvolysis reactions, in methanol, of six substituted benzyl acetates (7a-f) and benzyl pivalates (8a-f) were studied. Five major benzylic products were formed from two critical intermediates. The ethers (9) were formed from the ion pair, 15, and all of the other products (10-14) were formed from the radical pair, 16. Quenching studies showed that only excited singlet state reactivity was important. The product yields were found to be highly substituent dependent. For instance, for the acetate esters, the yield of ether (9) varied from 2% for X = 4-OCH3 to 32% for X = 3-OCH3. Most of the differences in the yields could be attributed to ground state processes that occur after bond cleavage. The important competition is between electron transfer, converting the radical pair to the ion pair, and decarboxylation of RCO2*. The rates of electron transfer are shown to fit Marcus theory in both the normal and inverted regions. Direct heterolytic cleavage to form the ion pair is of minimal importance.
