A highly effective phase transfer of a quaternary ammonium gemini surfactant with ester groups ((diethylhexanedioate) diyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyl dodecyl ammonium bromide) referred to as 12-10-12) was synthesized with high yield and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and 1H-NMR. Then, 12-10-12 was used as a phase transfer catalyst to study the catalytic effect on the reaction of anhydrous sodium acetate and 4-methylbenzyl chloride. The possible catalytic mechanism and the influence of surfactant concentration, temperature and type are also discussed. The experimental results showed that the catalysis efficiency was more active than the traditional, single-chained surfactant, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. It also revealed that the reaction was first-order with respect to the concentration of 4-methylbenzyl chloride. The concentration of 4-methylbenzyl chloride grew linearly with the concentration of 12-10-12 and as the reaction temperature increased. The optimum reaction time was 7 h.

A new ionic liquid was synthesised, and its chemical structure was elucidated by FT-IR, 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and mass analyses. Some physical properties, thermal behaviour, and thermal stability of this ionic liquid were investigated. The formation of a two-protonic acid salt namely 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium sulfate instead of 4,4′-trimethylene-N,N′-dipiperidinium hydrogensulfate was evidenced by NMR analyses. The catalytic activity of this ionic liquid was demonstrated in the esterification reaction of n-butanol and glacial acetic acid under different conditions. The desired acetate was obtained in 62-88 % yield without using a Dean-Stark apparatus under optimal conditions of 10 mol-% of the ionic liquid, an alcohol to glacial acetic acid mole ratio of 1.3: 1.0, a temperature of 75-100°C, and a reaction time of 4 h. α-Tocopherol (α-TCP), a highly efficient form of vitamin E, was also treated with glacial acetic acid in the presence of the ionic liquid, and O-acetyl-α-tocopherol (Ac-TCP) was obtained in 88.4 % yield. The separation of esters was conducted during workup without the utilisation of high-cost column chromatography. The residue and ionic liquid were used in subsequent runs after the extraction of desired products. The ionic liquid exhibited high catalytic activity even after five runs with no significant change in its chemical structure and catalytic efficiency.

Carbon monoxide used to have a limited number of applications in organic chemistry, but it gradually increases its role as a mild and selective reducing agent. It can be applied for the carbon–heteroatom single bond formation via the reductive addition of hydrogen-containing nucleophiles to carbonyl compounds. In this paper, rhodium-catalyzed reductive esterification is described, and a comparative study of the rhodium and ruthenium catalysis in the reductive addition reactions is provided. Rhodium performs better on highly nucleophilic substrates and ruthenium is better for compounds with less nucleophilicity.
