Hierarchical MFI Zeolites with a Single-Crystalline Sponge-Like Mesostructure

Single-crystalline sponge-like MFI mesoporous zeolites (SSMZs) have been synthesized by using bolaform surfactants with an axial chiral binaphthyl core in the hydrophobic tail and triquaternary ammonium head groups, as bifunctional organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). By changing the length of alkyl chain between a triquaternary ammonium head group and a binaphthyl group from 4 to 10 carbons, SSMZs with high specific surface area (382–434 m2 g?1), abundant micropore-mesopore connectivity, and uniform mesopore diameter (4–10 nm) were obtained. OSDAs with an alkyl chain length of 11 and 12 carbons led to the formation of nanorod-constructed mesoporous MFI zeolites. A geometrical matching between the cylindrical arrangement of the binaphthyl groups and the zeolitic framework is speculated to be the key factor for the formation of mesoporous zeolites. The SSMZ zeolites, with abundant mesopores beneficial for the diffusion of reactants, exhibited significantly higher catalytic efficiencies than those of the conventional ZSM-5 with a microcrystal morphology (≈1.5 μm).

Efficient cross-coupling of aryl/alkenyl triflates with acyclic secondary alkylboronic acids

Aryl-secondary alkyl cross-coupling with aryl sulfonate esters as coupling partners remains a significant challenge. Efficient cross-coupling between aryl/alkenyl triflates and acyclic secondary alkylboronic acids is realized for the first time to provide a series of sterically congested acyclic secondary alkyl arenes/olefins in good to excellent yields. The employment of sterically bulky P,PO ligand L1/L2 is crucial for the high yields and selectivities. The method has enabled a concise and 4-step synthesis of a key intermediate of male contraceptive agent and PAF antagonist gossypol.

Self-Assembly of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Lamellar Zeolite Precursor for the Preparation of Hierarchical MWW Zeolite

Construction of hierarchical zeolite catalysts from lamellar zeolite precursor is challenging and promising for industrial catalysis. Although numerous efforts have been dedicated to control the organization of zeolite nanosheets by postsynthetic approaches or employing complex surfactants in hydrothermal synthesis, there is still no successful case that the hierarchical lamellar zeolite is hydrothermally synthesized by the self-assembly of the commercially available simple surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and inorganic zeolite precursor. In traditional syntheses, the self-assembly of simple surfactants and the growth of microporous framework are hardly compatible from both thermodynamic and kinetic viewpoints, preferring to cause phase separation. Herein, we approach for the first time the hydrothermal synthesis of a mesostructured multilamellar zeolite ECNU-7P, consisting of an alternative stacking of inorganic MWW zeolite nanosheets and organic CTAB layers with large interlayer spacing (25 ?), by a zeolite seed and CTAB-assisted dissolution-recrystallization route. Correlated 2D 1H-29Si solid-state NMR, X-ray, electron microscopy, and rotation electron diffraction analyses provide molecular-level insights into the guest-host interactions between organic surfactant and inorganic framework during the self-assembly and structure evolution process. Moreover, the calcined Al-ECNU-7 possessing a hierarchical mesostructure proves to serve as a highly active, selective, and stable solid acid catalyst for triisopropylbenzene cracking as well as acylation of anisole.

Efficient synthesis of sterically hindered arenes bearing acyclic secondary alkyl groups by suzuki-miyaura cross-couplings

Bulky P,P-O ligands were designed to inhibit isomerization and reduction side reactions during the cross coupling between sterically hindered aryl halides and alkylboronic acids. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings between di-ortho-substituted aryl bromides and acyclic secondary alkylboronic acids have been achieved with high yields. The method has also enabled the preparation of ortho-alkoxy di-ortho-substituted arenes bearing isopropyl groups in excellent yields. The utility of the synthetic method has been demonstrated in a late-stage modification of estrone and in the application to a new synthetic route toward gossypol. No side reaction: The shown bulky P,P-O ligands (right) successfully inhibit isomerization and reduction side reactions of the cross-coupling of sterically hindered substrates such as di-ortho-substituted aryl bromides with acyclic secondary alkylboronic acids. The method also allows the preparation of ortho-alkoxy di-ortho-substituted isopropyl arenes in excellent yields.
