Enolate-Based Regioselective Anti-Beckmann C-C Bond Cleavage of Ketones

The Baeyer-Villiger or Beckmann rearrangements are established methods for the cleavage of ketone derivatives under acidic conditions, proceeding for unsymmetrical precursors selectively at the more substituted site. However, the fragmentation regioselectivity cannot be switched and fragmentation at the less-substituted terminus is so far not possible. We report here that the reaction of ketone enolates with commercial alkyl nitrites provides a direct and regioselective way of fragmenting ketones into esters and oximes or ω-hydroxyimino esters, respectively. A comprehensive study of the scope of this reaction with respect to ketone classes and alkyl nitrites is presented. Control over the site of cleavage is gained through regioselective enolate formation by various bases. Oxidation of kinetic enolates of unsymmetrical ketones leads to the otherwise unavailable "anti-Beckmann"cleavage at the less-substituted side chain, while cleavage of thermodynamic enolates of the same ketones represents an alternative to the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation or the Beckmann rearrangement under basic conditions. The method is suited for the transformation of natural products and enables access to orthogonally reactive dicarbonyl compounds.

Synthesis of nanostructured carbon on Ni catalysts supported on mesoporous silica, preparation of carbon-containing adsorbents, and preparation and study of lipase-active biocatalysts

This work continues a series of our studies on the synthesis of nanostructured carbon (NSC) by the pyrolysis of H2 + C3–C4 alkane mixtures on nickel and cobalt metal catalysts supported on chemically diverse inorganic materials (aluminosilicates, alumina, carbon) having different textural characteristics (mesoporous and macroporous supports) and shapes (granules, foamed materials, and honeycomb monoliths). Here, we consider Ni catalysts supported on granular mesoporous silica (SiO2). It has been elucidated how the yield of synthesized carbon depends on the Ni/SiO2 catalyst preparation method (homogeneous precipitation or impregnation) and on the composition of the impregnating solution, including the molar ratio of its components—nickel nitrate and urea. The morphology of catalytic NSC and Ni distribution in the silica granule have been investigated using a scanning electron microscope with an EDX analyzer. Carbon-containing composite supports (NSC/SiO2) have been employed as adsorbents for immobilizing microbial lipase. The enzymatic activity and stability of the resulting biocatalysts have been estimated in transesterification reactions of vegetable (sunflower and linseed) oils involving methyl or ethyl acetate, esterification, and synthesis of capric acid–isoamyl alcohol esters in nonaqueous media.
