Green synthesis of low-carbon chain nitroalkanes via a novel tandem reaction of ketones catalyzed by TS-1

A green and efficient one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of low-carbon chain nitroalkanes via a novel TS-1 catalyzed tandem oxidation of ketones with H2O2 and NH3. The tandem reaction including ammoxidation, oximation and oxidation of oximes, afforded up to 88% yield and 98% chemo-selectivity requiring only 90 min, at 70 °C and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, this method was even amenable to 100-fold scale-up without loss of chemical efficiency with 87% yield, represents a significant advance towards industrial production of nitroalkanes. Furthermore, the plausible mechanism of TS-1 catalyzed tandem oxidation of ketones to prepare nitroalkanes was proposed.

Formation of Organic Nitro-compounds in Flowing H2O2+NO2+N2+Organic Vapour Systems. Part 2.-H2O2+NO2+N2+Alkane System

The principal products from the surface-initiated reactions in flowing mixtures of H2O2, NO2,N2 and RH, where RH=ethane, propane, n-butane and n-pentane, have been identified as the nitroalkane, alkyl nitrite and alkyl nitrate.The product yields have been measured; in the case of propane the variation of the yields with total gas pressure has also been studied.Values have been obtained for the relative rates of primary and secondary H-atom abstraction from each alkane by OH and for the rate-constant ratios k3/k4 and k5/k6 at 298 K:.The trends in the product yields with the variation of pressure and change of R indicate that RO radicals are produced via reactions (4)-(6) rather than by a single-step reaction of R with NO2.
