An ionic liquid supported on magnetite nanoparticles as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of alkyl thiocyanates in water

The present study describes a convenient method to synthesize alkyl thiocyanates from alkyl halides with the use of a novel nanomagnetic-supported organocatalyst (MNP@PEG-ImCl). The new supported ionic liquid is fully characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. It is noteworthy that we observed easy separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture by a simple magnetic decantation and its reutilization many times without any appreciable loss of activities.

AIBN-initiated direct thiocyanation of benzylic sp3C-H with: N -thiocyanatosaccharin

Direct thiocyanations of benzylic compounds have been implemented. Here, a new strategy, involving a free radical reaction pathway initiated by AIBN, was used to construct the benzylic sp3 C-SCN bond. In this way, the disadvantage of other strategies involving introducing leaving groups in advance to synthesize benzyl thiocyanate compounds was overcome. The currently developed protocol also involved the use of readily available raw materials and resulted in high product yields (up to 100%), both being great advantages for synthesizing benzyl thiocyanates.

Thiocyanation and 2-Amino-1,3-thiazole Formation in Water Using Recoverable and Reusable Glycosylated Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands

A family of three spatially directional resorcin[4]arene cavitand glycoconjugates (RCGs) have been applied as efficient recoverable and reusable inverse phase transfer catalysts for eco- A nd environmentally friendly thiocyanation and 2-amino-1,3-thiazole formation reactions in water. The results show that RCGs (1 mol %) were capable of hosting and catalyzing various water-insoluble bromo/thiocyanato substrates in water without the use of any co-organic solvents. The recoverability and reusability of RCG catalytic systems, that is, RCG1 and RCG3, were also examined upon a simple extraction of the desired products using DCM or ethyl acetate, followed by subjecting the recovered aqueous solution containing the RCG catalysts to the next reaction cycles.

Method for preparing organic thiocyanide

The invention relates to a method for preparing organic thiocyanide. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a benzyl alcohol compound (I) as described in the specification, thiocyanate, an alkaline substance and an organic solvent, carrying out a reaction at 25-50 DEG C for 3-6 hours in an SO2F2 atmosphere, and carrying out after-treatment on a reaction solution to obtain organic thiocyanide (II) as described in the specification. According to the invention, cheap, easily available and environment-friendly SO2F2 is used as an accelerant to efficiently promote preparation of organic thiocyanide from alcohol and thiocyanate, so the step that halogen is introduced into a preset position of a molecular structure in advance in a traditional production process is omitted; and the method is applicable to a wide range of substrates, can prepare corresponding organic thiocyanide at a high yield, is simple in operation process, and is suitable for large-scale preparation.

Sulfuryl Fluoride Promoted Thiocyanation of Alcohols: A Practical Method for Preparing Thiocyanates

A novel SO 2F 2-promoted thiocyanation method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates through C-O bond cleavage of readily available alcohols with ammonium thiocyanate as the thiocyanating agent was developed. The method avoids the use of additional catalyst, and a variety of (hetero)arene, alkene and aliphatic alcohols reacted with high efficiency in ethyl acetate under mild conditions to afford the corresponding thiocyanates in excellent to quantitative yields with broad functional-group compatibility.

Crown ether functionalized magnetic hydroxyapatite as eco-friendly microvessel inorganic-organic hybrid nanocatalyst in nucleophilic substitution reactions: an approach to benzyl thiocyanate, cyanide, azide and acetate derivatives

In this paper, high catalytic activity of 4′,4″-diformyl dibenzo-18-crown-6 anchored onto the functionalized magnetite hydroxyapatite (γ-Fe2O3@HAp–Crown) as a new, versatile and magnetically recoverable catalyst, was prepared. It evaluated as phase-transfer catalyst and molecular host system for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl halides with thiocyanate, cyanide, azide and acetate anions in water. No evidence for the formation of by-products was observed and the products obtained in pure form without further purification. The nanocomposite was easily removed from solution via application of a magnetic field, allowing straightforward recovery and reuse. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by several techniques such as FT-IR, TGA-DTG, EDX, XRD, BET, FE-SEM, TEM and VSM.

One-pot synthesis of (ethoxycarbonyl)difluoromethylthioethers from thiocyanate sodium and ethyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)-2,2-difluoroacetate (TMS-CF2CO2Et)

An efficient one-pot cascade methodology for the synthesis of (ethoxycarbonyl)difluoromethyl thioethers is described. Benzyl, allyl, alkyl halides or diazonium salts as the starting materials together with thiocyanate sodium and TMS-CF2CO2Et in the presence of CsF or NaOAc afford a variety of the fluoroalkylthiolated products in moderate to good yields.

Synthesis of alkyl thiocyanates from alcohols using a polymer-supported thiocyanate ion promoted by cyanuric chloride/dimethylformamide

A convenient procedure for one-pot conversion of alcohols into the corresponding alkyl thiocyanates in the presence of cross-linked poly (N-propyl-4-vinylpyridinium) thiocyanate ion [P4-VP]Pr-SCN, promoted by cyanuric chloride/dimethylformamide, is described. Various alcohols were converted to their corresponding alkyl thiocyanates and it was observed that substituted benzyl alcohol with electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups were transformed into the corresponding benzyl thiocyanate derivatives in high to excellent yields in a short reaction time but, sterically hindered alcohols produced the corresponding thiocyanates in very low yields.

Chlorodiphenylphosphine as highly selective and efficient reagent for the conversion of alcohols, tetrahydropyranyl and silyl ethers to thiocyanates and isothiocyanates

(Equation present) A simple, highly selective and efficient method is described for the conversion of primary alcohols, tetrahydropyranyl and silyl ethers to thiocyanates by use of chlorodiphenylphosphine and ammonium thiocyanate. Secondary substrates produce both the two isomeric products, thiocyanate and isothiocyanate, while tertiary ones give isothiocyanates as the only products by this new method. In contrast to previously reported methods based on trivalent phosphorus for this transformation, the present method does not require an electrophile in the presence of trivalent phosphorus (ClPPh 2). The order of activity of these substrates is silyl ether> alcohol > tetrahydropyranyl ether. The present method not only interestingly distinguishes between primary, secondary and tertiary substrates but also converts them to the corresponding thiocyanates with excellent chemoselectivity in the presence of several other functional groups. 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Nanomagnetic double-charged diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dichloride silica as a novel nanomagnetic phase-transfer catalyst for the aqueous synthesis of benzyl acetates and thiocyanates

Abstract Nanomagnetic double-charged diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dichloride silica hybrid (Fe3O4@SiO2/DABCO) was used as an efficient and magnetically recoverable phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl halides for the synthesis of benzyl acetates and thiocyanates in good to excellent yields at 100 C in water. No evidence for the formation of by-products, for example, isothiocyanate or benzyl alcohol was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification. The catalyst was easily separated with the assistance of an external magnetic field from the reaction mixture and reused for several consecutive runs without significant loss of its catalytic efficiency.
