A biomass involved rhodium-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of furfuryl esters and tertiary amides has been developed. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used as both substrate and CO surrogate for the first time in a carbonylation reaction, and both alkyl and aryl iodides were tolerated well to afford the desired furfuryl esters in moderate to good yields. In addition, furfural was also utilized as a CO source for the synthesis of tertiary amides. A variety of tertiary amides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with good functional groups compatibility. Notably, tertiary amines were used as the amine source through a C[sbnd]N bond cleavage pathway in the absence of additional oxidant.
Process for directly converting an aldehyde into an ethylene ester

, (2008/06/13)
The invention concerns a process for directly converting an aldehyde into an ethylene ester, of the type wherein the aldehyde is placed in the presence of an alkaline carbonate or bicarbonate and of a phosphonate into a solvent with an alcohol function. In the invention, an ethyl phosphonate or a methyl phosphonate is used and the solvent is an alcohol or a polyol including a hydrocarbon radical other than ethyl or methyl, this radical being that of the ethylenic ester to be produced. The process of the invention makes it possible to directly convert furan aldehyde or tetrahydrofuran aldehyde to produce an ethylenic ester with a furan ring or a tetrahydrofuran ring.
