A facile and efficient protocol for esterification and acetalization in a PEG1000-D(A)IL/toluene thermoregulated catalyst-media combined systems

A novel efficient and recyclable temperature-dependent biphasic catalyst and reaction media combined system comprised of PEG-1000 linked dicationic acidic ionic liquid and toluene was developed and applied in esterification of aromatic acids and acetalization of aromatic aldehydes with good to excellent yields. This system is characteristic of temperature-dependent reversible biphasic property, simple and facile recyclability, high catalytic activity and extensive substrate and reaction adaptability.

Mesoporous sulfated zirconia mediated acetalization reactions

A novel, convenient, one step synthetic procedure for the synthesis of mesoporous sulfated zirconia (m-SZ) using zirconium carbonate complex and its use as solid acid catalyst for the acetalization of different carbonyl compound is reported. The high specific BET surface area (234 m2 g -1) of m-SZ is achieved after the removal of the surfactant (cetyltrymethylammonium bromide, CTAB) through calcination at 550 °C for 6 h. Microscopic analysis indicated the presence of spherical particles with worm like pores. DRIFT (diffuse reflectance FTIR) of pyridine adsorbed m-SZ and NH3-TPD (temperature programmed desorption) analysis suggested the presence of appreciable amount of Bro?nsted acid sites. The synthesized m-SZ showed high catalytic activity towards protection of carbonyl compounds through acetal/ketal formation. For the open ketal (from cyclohexanone and methanol) 97% conversion with 100% selectivity was obtained in 1 h at room temperature under solvent free condition. The catalyst can be easily recycled after separation from the reaction system without considerable loss in catalytic activity.

Acetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by bismuth triflate under solvent-free conditions

Carbonyl compounds were converted to the corresponding 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes with ethylene glycol and 1,3-propandiol in the presence of bismuth triflate under solvent-free conditions. In addition, high chemoselective protection of aldehydes in the presence of ketones has been achieved.

[Hmim]3PW12O40: A high-efficient and green catalyst for the acetalization of carbonyl compounds

[Hmim]3PW12O40 was developed and used in the acetalization of carbonyl compounds in excellent yields. The ionic liquid-heteropoly acid hybrid compound and reaction medium formed temperature-dependent phase-separation system with the ease of product as well as catalyst separation. The catalyst was recycled more than 10 times without any apparent loss of catalytic activity.

Polyaniline-Supported Sulfuric Acid Salt as a Powerful Catalyst for the Protection and Deprotection of Carbonyl Compounds

Structurally different carbonyl compounds were converted into their corresponding cyclic acetals using polyaniline-sulfate salt as catalyst in dry toluene in excellent yield. In turn, useful deacetalization in aqueous medium was demonstrated. Chemoselective protection of carbonyl compounds was also demonstrated. The advantages of the polyaniline-sulfate salt are ease of preparation and handling, stability, reusability and activity.

Tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) as an efficient generator of HBr for an efficient chemoselective reagent for acetalization of carbonyl compounds

Acyclic and cyclic acetals of various carbonyl compounds were obtained in excellent yields under a mild reaction condition in the presence of trialkyl orthoformate and a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) in absolute alcohol. Chemoselective acetalization of an aldehyde in the presence of ketone, unsymmetrical acetal formation, shorter reaction times, mild reaction conditions, the stability of acid-sensitive protecting groups, high efficiencies, facile isolation of the desired products, and the catalytic nature of the reagent make the present methodology a practical alternative.

Aromatic aldehydes and ketones are readily acetalized or ketalized under microwave irradiation in the presence of water as a solvent.

Selective Catalytic Transesterification, Transthiolesterification, and Protection of Carbonyl Compounds over Natural Kaolinitic Clay

Transesterification and transthiolesterification of β-keto esters with variety of alcohols and thiols and selective protection of carbonyl functions with various protecting groups catalyzed by natural kaolinitic clay are described. The clay has been found to be an efficient catalyst in transesterifying long chain alcohols, unsaturated alcohols, and phenols to give their corresponding β-keto esters in high yields. For the first time, transthiolesterification of β-keto esters with a variety of thiols has been achieved under catalytic conditions. Clay also catalyzes selective transesterification of β-keto esters by primary alcohols in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols giving corresponding β-keto esters. A systematic study involving the reactivity of different nucleophiles (alcohols, amines, and thiols) toward β-keto esters is also described. Sterically hindered carbonyl groups as well as α,β-unsaturated carbonyl groups underwent protection without the deconjugation of the double bond. Chemoselective protection of aldehydes in the presence of ketones has also been achieved over natural kaolinitic clay.
