Zwitterionic adducts of N-heterocyclic carbene and carbodiimide (NHC-CDI) are an emerging class of organic compounds with promising properties for applications in various fields. Herein, we report the use of the ICyCDI(p-Tol) betaine adduct (1a) and its cationic derivatives2aand3aas catalyst precursors for the dichloromethane valorization via transformation into high added value products CH2Z2(Z = OR, SR or NR2). This process implies selective chloride substitution of dichloromethane by a range of nucleophiles Na+Z-(preformed or generatedin situfrom HZ and an inorganic base) to yield formaldehyde-derived acetals, dithioacetals, or aminals with full selectivity. The reactions are conducted in a multigram-scale under very mild conditions, using dichloromethane both as a reagent and solvent, and very low catalyst loading (0.01 mol %). The CH2Z2derivatives were isolated in quantitative yields after filtration and evaporation, which facilitates recycling the dichloromethane excess. Mechanistic studies for the synthesis of methylal CH2(OMe)2rule out organocatalysis as being responsible for the CH2transfer, and a phase-transfer catalysis mechanism is proposed instead. Furthermore, we observed that1aand2areact with NaOMe to form unusual isoureate ethers, which are the actual phase-transfer catalysts, with a strong preference for sodium over other alkali metal nucleophiles.

Dialkoxymethanes are becoming increasingly important as fuel additives, formaldehyde surrogates, and chemical intermediates, but the effective synthesis remains challenging. Herein, the catalytic synthesis of dialkoxymethane products using a molecular catalyst is reported. The catalytic system, comprising the [Ru(triphos)(tmm)] in combination with the Lewis acid Al(OTf)3, enables the direct synthesis of dialkoxymethane products with formic acid as C1 building block in high to excellent turnover numbers.

The invention relates to a novel synthesis method of an alkoxymethylamine compound. The novel synthesis method comprises the steps: (1) dehydrating formaldehyde HCHO and alcohol R1OH by carrying out an aldolization under the action of an acid catalyst to obtain dialkoxymethane; and (2) carrying out a hydrocarbylation reaction on dialkoxymethane obtained in step (1) and substituted amine R2-NH2 toremove alcohol to obtain an alkoxymethyl substituent amine compound N-R1 oxymethyl-N-R2 amine. The synthesis method disclosed by the invention is simple in operation and high in yield reaching 92% orabove; and compared with the prior art, the novel synthesis method has the advantages that no acid wastewater, waste salts and chloromethyl alkyl ether serving as a cancerogen are greatly generated, the environment protection cost is favorably reduced, and the industrial prospect is higher.

221A simple and efficient method for the preparation of dialkoxymethane ethers (oxymethylene ethers) from alcohols and paraformaldehyde in the presence of commercially available nickel(II) salt is described. The reaction proceeds readily under neutral, solvent-free conditions using paraformaldehyde as a C 1 source. The present strategy has a broad substrate scope including aliphatic (both primary and secondary) and aromatic alcohols and provides a benign method for the preparation of symmetrical dialkoxymethanes in good yields (up to 89%). Graphical Abstract: SYNOPSIS A facile nickel-catalyzed synthesis of dialkoxymethane ethers from alcohols and paraformaldehyde using inexpensive, commercially available NiBr 2 is reported. The reaction proceeds readily under mild, neutral and solvent-free conditions. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

The synthesis of dimethoxymethane (DMM) by a multistep reaction of methanol with carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen is reported. Using the molecular catalyst [Ru(triphos)(tmm)] in combination with the Lewis acid Al(OTf)3resulted in a versatile catalytic system for the synthesis of various dialkoxymethane ethers. This new catalytic reaction provides the first synthetic example for the selective conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into a formaldehyde oxidation level, thus opening access to new molecular structures using this important C1source.
