SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGIOSELECTIVE CARBONYLATION OF 2,2-DISUBSTITUTED EPOXIDES

Provided are methods of carbonylating cyclic substrates to produce carbonyl ated cyclic products. The cyclic substrates may be 2, 2-di substituted epoxides and the cyclic products may be β,β-di substituted lactones. The method may be carried out by forming and pressurizing a reaction mixture of the cyclic substrate, a solvent, carbon monoxide, and a [LA+][CO(CO)4-] catalyst, where [LA+] is a Lewis acid capable of coordinating to the cyclic substrate. The method may proceed with a regioselectivity of 90:10 or greater. The resulting carbonylated cyclic products may be converted to ketone aldol products that retain the stereochemistry and enantiomeric ratio of the carbonyl ated cyclic products.

Regioselective Carbonylation of 2,2-Disubstituted Epoxides: An Alternative Route to Ketone-Based Aldol Products

We report the regioselective carbonylation of 2,2-disubstituted epoxides to β,β-disubstituted β-lactones. Mechanistic studies revealed epoxide ring-opening as the turnover limiting step, an insight that facilitated the development of improved reaction conditions using weakly donating, ethereal solvents. A wide range of epoxides can be carbonylated to β-lactones, which are subsequently ring-opened to produce ketone-based aldol adducts, providing an alternative to the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Enantiopure epoxides were demonstrated to undergo the carbonylation/ring-opening process with retention of stereochemistry to form enantiopure β-hydroxy esters.

Epoxidation and oxidation reactions using divinyl benzene crosslinked polystyrene supported t-butyl hydroperoxide

Divinyl benzene (DVB) crosslinked polystyrene supported t-butyl hydroperoxide resin has been prepared and employed in the epoxidation of olefins and oxidation of alcohols. The reagent is found to be efficient as the low molecular weight t-butyl hydroperoxide. Presence of catalyst enhanced the reaction efficiency remarkably. Influence of various reaction parameters such as solvent, temperature and molar excess of the reagent on the reactivity of the polymeric reagent is also being investigated.

Catalyst-free gas-phase epoxidation of alkenes

Butadiene, styrene, cyclohexene, allyl acetate, methyl methacrylate, and allyl alcohol were epoxidized in a gas-phase reaction in the absence of a catalyst. The applied oxidizing agent is ozone. With exception of allyl alcohol (selectivity to glycidol: 58%), the selectivity to the corresponding epoxide ranged from 88 to 97%. For acrylonitrile, there was no measureable conversion. Copyright
