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.

Zinc zirconium phosphate as an efficient catalyst for chemoselective synthesis of 1,1-diacetates under solvent-free conditions

In the present study, a mild, rapid, and efficient method for the protection of aldehydes with acetic anhydride (AA) in the presence of zinc zirconium phosphate (ZPZn) as a nano catalyst, 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. This nanocatalyst 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-friendliness, chemoselectivity, simple experimental and work-up procedure, solvent-free conditions and usage of only a stoichiometric amount of AA.

Synthesis of chiral tricarbonylchromium(0) aromatic aldehydes and their asymmetric aldol reaction with acetone

The preparation of chiral tricarbonylchromium(0) aromatic aldehydes was improved in a shorter total time with higher yields comparing with previous methods. Their asymmetric aldol reactions with acetone were studied at room temperature.

A new and efficient procedure for the production of 1,1-diacetate from corresponding aldehydes promoted by silica chromate (SiO2-O-CrO 2-O-SiO2)

Chemical Equation Presented A wide range of aromatic aldehydes has been selectively converted to 1,1-diacetates using silica chromate (SiO 2-O-CrO2-O-SiO2) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature in moderate to good yields. This protocol is mild and efficient compared to other reported methods. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Mild and chemoselective synthesis and deprotection of geminal diacetates catalyzed by titanium(IV) halides

A novel, mild, and chemoselective method was developed for the preparation of gem-diacetates from aldehydes and acetic anhydride in the presence of titanium(IV) fluoride (1-5 mol%) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The reaction showed a high chemoselectivity toward aldehydes in the presence of ketones. Moreover, titanium(IV) fluoride also catalyzed the deprotection of gem-diacetates to the corresponding aldehydes in water. This efficient and simple method has several benefits, including the use of an inexpensive catalyst, solvent-free conditions, mild reaction temperatures, and high yields, which make it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) as a recyclable catalyst for highly efficient acetylation of alcohols and diacetylation of aldehydes under mild and neutral reaction conditions

A variety of alcohols and aldehydes were reacted with acetic anhydride at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium triflate (LiOTf) to produce the corresponding esters and 1,1-diacetates, respectively, in good to excellent yields under essentially neutral reaction conditions. Sensitive functional groups such as PhCO2-, OMe, and OTBDMS ethers survived intact under the described reaction conditions.

Selective synthesis of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde

A selective preparation of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde is proposed in a procedure involving the transformation of the aldehyde group to a diacetoxymethyl group.
