LiBF4-mediated conversion of aldehydes to gem-diacetates

An efficient and highly selective method for the conversion of aldehydes to gem-diacetates is described using lithium tetrafluoroborate under mild reaction conditions. Due to the neutral reaction conditions, this method is compatible with acid-sensitive p

Supported N-propylsulfamic acid onto Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles as a reusable and efficient nanocatalyst for the protection/deprotection of hydroxyl groups and protection of aldehydes

N-propylsulfamic acid supported onto Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-PSA) as an efficient and magnetically reusable nanocatalyst has been reported for the tetrahydropyranylation/depyranylation of a wide variety of alcohols and phenols by changing the solvent medium. Also, the protection of aldehydes as acylals using Ac2O in the presence of catalytic amount MNPs-PSA in good to high yields at room temperature under solvent-free conditions is described. After completing the reaction, the catalyst was easily separated from the reaction mixture with the assistance of an external magnetic field and reused for several consecutive runs without significant loss of their catalytic efficiency.

A variety of 1,1-diacetates have been produced from the corresponding aldehydes (1 mmol) by LiBH4(1.25 mmol) and Ac2O (1 mL) in the presence of DOWEX(R)50WX4 (0.5 g) as a cation exchange resinwithin 10 min at room temperature with excellent yields of the products (93-97%).

Solvent-free Chemoselective Synthesis of 1,1-diacetates Catalyzed by Iron Zirconium Phosphate

In the present study, a mild, rapid, and efficient method for the protection of aldehydes with acetic anhydride (AA) in the presence of iron zirconium phosphate (ZPFe), at room temperature is reported. Selective conversion of aldehydes was observed in the presence of ketones. Under these conditions, different aldehydes bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents were reacted with AA and the corresponding 1,1-diacetates (acylals) were obtained in high to excellent yields. The steric and electronic properties of the different substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions. Also, the deprotection of 1,1-diacetates has been achieved using this catalyst in water. The catalyst was characterized by several physico-chemical techniques. It was recovered easily from the reaction mixture, regenerated, and reused at least 7 times without significant loss in catalytic activity. This protocol has the advantages of easy availability, stability, reusability of the eco-friendly catalyst, chemoselectivity, simple experimental and work-up procedure, solvent-free conditions and only a stoichiometric amount of AA is needed.

Poly(4-vinylpyridinium) perchlorate has been used as a supported, recyclable, environmentally-benign catalyst for the formation of acylals from aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. Notably, the reaction conditions were tolerant of ketones. This methodology offers several distinct advantages, including its operational simplicity and high product yield, as well as being green in terms of avoiding the use of toxic catalysts and solvents. Furthermore, the catalyst can be recovered and reused several times without any loss in its activity.

Ultrasound assisted the chemoselective 1,1-diacetate protection and deprotection of aldehydes catalyzed by poly(4-vinylpyridinium)hydrogen sulfate salt as a eco-benign, efficient and reusable solid acid catalyst

Poly(4-vinylpyridinium) hydrogen sulfate solid acid was found to be efficient catalyst for preparation of 1,1-diacetate using ultrasound irradiation at ambient temperature and neat condition. Deprotection of the resulting 1,1-diacetates were achieved using the same catalyst in methanol solvent under ultrasound irradiation at room temperature. This new method consistently has the advantage of excellent yields and short reaction times. Utilization of solvent free, simple reaction conditions, isolation, and purification makes this manipulation very interesting from an economic and environmental perspective. Further, the catalyst can be reused and recovered for several times.
