Ketalization of ketones to 1,3-dioxolanes and concurring self-aldolization catalyzed by an amorphous, hydrophilic SiO2-SO3H catalyst under microwave irradiation

The amorphous, mesoporous SiO2-SO3H catalyst with a surface area of 115 m2 g-1 and 1.32 mmol H+ per g was very efficient for the protonation of ketones on a 10percent (m/m) basis, and the catalyst-bound intermediates can be trapped by polyalcohols to produce ketals in high yields or suffer aldol condensations within minutes under low-power microwave irradiation. The same catalyst can easily reverse the ketalization reaction. Printed in Brazil-

PALLADIUM CATALYSED HECK ARYLATION OR VINYLATION OF 1-SUBSTITUTED OLEFINS

The present invention relates to a process for preparing arylated or vinylated olefins.

The Heck reaction of electron-rich olefins with regiocontrol by hydrogen-bond donors

No salt please: Halide scavengers AgOTf and TlOAc are not required for the Heck coupling of electron-rich olefins with aryl bromides and chlorides. Using ammonium additives, these reactions can be carried out in either an imidazolium ionic liquid or a common molecular solvent, thus furnishing 1,1′- disubstituted olefins in high yields with excellent regioselectivities. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Palladium-catalysed direct regioselective synthesis of cyclic ketals from electron-rich olefins and aryl bromides in ionic liquids

The Heck reaction comprises one of the most important carbon-carbon coupling reactions in organic synthesis. The popularity of the reaction is attributable to the broad availability of aryl halides and to the tolerance of the reaction for a wide variety o

Pd(II)-catalyzed conversion of styrene derivatives to acetals: Impact of (-)-sparteine on regioselectivity

Pd[(-)-sparteine]Cl2 catalyzes the formation of dialkyl acetals from styrene derivatives with Markovnikov regioselectivity. The substrate scope of this reaction has been investigated, and initial mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through an enol ether intermediate and a Pd-hydride.
