A New Preparation Method for the Alkylation Catalysts of Aromatic Compounds Based on Immobilized AlCl3

Abstract: A new method for the preparation of active catalysts for the alkylation and transalkylation of aromatic compounds (benzene and toluene) based on aluminum chloride immobilized on the surface of silica gel was developed. The alkylation occurred wi

New Heterogeneous Alkylation Catalysts Based on Niobium Pentachloride

New active catalysts based on niobium pentachloride immobilized on the surface of silica gel or aluminum oxide for the alkylation of aromatic compounds were prepared. The reaction occurs with a high rate at room temperature. Thus, the conversion of 1-hexene in the alkylation of benzene or toluene was close to 100% only 5 min after the onset of the reaction.

Use of Trifluoromethyl Groups for Catalytic Benzylation and Alkylation with Subsequent Hydrodefluorination

The electrophilic organofluorophosphonium catalyst [(C6F5)3PF][B(C6F5)4] is shown to effect benzylation or alkylation by aryl and alkyl CF3 groups with subsequent hydrodefluorination, thus resulting in a net transformation of CF3 into CH2-aryl fragments. In the case of alkyl CF3 groups, Friedel-Crafts alkylation by the difluorocarbocation proceeded without cation rearrangement, in contrast to the corresponding reactions of alkyl monofluorides.

Iron-catalyzed allylic arylation of olefins via C(sp3)-H activation under mild conditions

An aryl Grignard reagent in the presence of mesityl iodide converts an allylic C-H bond of a cycloalkene or an allylbenzene derivative into a C-C bond in the presence of a catalytic amount of Fe(acac)3 and a diphosphine ligand at 0 C. The stereo- and regioselectivity of the reaction, together with deuterium labeling experiments, suggest that C-H bond activation is the slow step in the catalytic cycle preceding the formation of an allyliron intermediate.

N-Hexane activation over zeolites: Aromatic alkylation to 1-phenylhexane

Terminal 1-phenylhexane was observed during alkylation of benzene with n-hexane over 10-membered ring zeolites at moderate temperature, whereas it was not observed when 1-hexene was the reactant. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.

Nitrosonium salts, NO+X- (X = B(3,5-diCF 3Ph)4- or PW12O40 3-), as electrophilic catalysts for alkene activation in arene alkylation and dimerization reactions

It has been found that in apolar reaction media the nitrosonium cation (NO+) activated alkenes under mild conditions toward electrophilic substitution of arene substrates to yield the alkylated arene with Markovnikov orientation. In the absence of arenes the alkenes react with themselves to yield a mixture of dimeric alkenes. The nitrosonium cation can be dissolved in the reaction medium by using the tetrakis-(bis-(3,5-trifluromethyl)phenyl) borate anion, where upon the reactions occur effectively at 30 °C. Alternatively an insoluble, heterogeneous catalyst was prepared so as to yield a NO+ cation with a polyoxometalate (PW12O403-) anion. This catalyst was generally more effective and selective toward a broader range of substrates at 70 °C. Copyright

Iron-catalyzed alkylations of aromatic Grignard reagents

(Chemical Equation Presented) Any old iron: Two efficient iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between aryl Grignard reagents and alkyl bromides were developed that are suitable for large-scale applications. The first procedure uses iron acetylacetonate and involves a cooperative effect between the two ligands N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) and hexamethylenetetraamine (HMTA), while the second procedure uses [(FeCl 3)2(tmeda)3] as catalyst. 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Scandium(III) triflate immobilised in ionic liquids: a novel and recyclable catalytic system for Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds with alkenes

Scandium(III) triflate catalysed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of aromatic compounds with alkenes proceeded readily in the hydrophobic ionic liquid solvents based on 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts with easy catalyst/solvent recycling, whereas these reactions did not occur in common organic solvents, water or hydrophilic ionic liquids at all.

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene and toluene with olefinic C6 hydrocarbons and esters

To assist our study of the reaction of toluene and other aromatic compounds with methyl oleate and other olefinic esters, benzene and toluene have been alkylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions with hex-1-ene, hex-3-ene, methyl hex-3-enoate and methyl hex-3-enedioate. The products were isolated and identified by NMR and mass spectrometric procedures.
