Transfer hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates and polycarbonate to methanol and diols by iron pincer catalysts
Liu, Xin,De Vries, Johannes G.,Werner, Thomas
, p. 5248 - 5255 (2019/10/11)
Herein, we report the first example on the use of an earth-abundant metal complex as the catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates to methanol and diols. The advantage of this method is the use of isopropanol as the hydrogen source, thus avoiding the handling of flammable hydrogen under high pressure. The reaction offers an indirect route for the reduction of CO2 to methanol. In addition, poly(propylene carbonate) was converted to methanol and propylene glycol. This methodology can be considered as an attractive opportunity for the chemical recycling of polycarbonates.
PROCESS FOR MAKING FORMIC ACID UTILIZING LOWER-BOILING FORMATE ESTERS
-
Paragraph 00179, (2019/02/15)
Disclosed is a process for recovering formic acid from a formate ester of a C3 to C4 alcohol. Disclosed is also a process for producing formic acid by carbonylating a C3 to C4 alcohol, hydrolyzing the formate ester of the alcohol, and recovering a formic acid product. The alcohol may be dried and returned to the reactor. The process enables a more energy efficient production of formic acid than the carbonylation of methanol to produce methyl formate.
IRON-CATALYZED CROSS-COUPLING OF METHHANOL WITH SECONDARY OR TERTIARY ALCOHOLS TO PRODUCE FORMATE ESTERS
-
Paragraph 0121; 0122, (2019/02/17)
A process for preparing a variety of secondary and tertiary alkyl formate esters via the coupling of methanol and secondary (or tertiary) alcohols. Iron-based catalysts, supported by pincer ligands, are employed to produce these formate esters in high yields and unprecedentedly high selectivities (>99%). Remarkably, the coupling strategy is also applicable to bulkier tertiary alcohols, which afford corresponding tertiary formate esters in moderately high yields and high selectivities.

A facile strategy for the synthesis of acidic ionic liquid based UiO-67 type MOFs was developed in this study. Br?nsted acids (H2SO4, CF3SO3H and hifpOSO3H (hexafluoroisopropyl sulfuric acid)) were introduced into UiO-67-bpy (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid) frameworks by reacting with bipyridyl nitrogen to introduce the properties of an acidic ionic liquid into the frameworks. The prepared catalysts, denoted as UiO-67-HSO4, UiO-67-CF3SO3 and UiO-67-hifpOSO3, were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, EA, TGA and N2 adsorption-desorption studies. The relatively high surface area was still maintained and acidic active groups were uniformly dispersed in the frameworks. The catalytic performance of UiO-67-HSO4, UiO-67-CF3SO3 and UiO-67-hifpOSO3 was evaluated by the esterification of acetic acid with isooctyl alcohol. The prepared catalysts showed good catalytic activities in the esterification, of which UiO-67-CF3SO3 gave the maximum isooctyl alcohol conversion of 98.6% under optimized conditions. The catalyst could be reused five times without a significant decrease in the conversion of isooctyl alcohol, and almost no active species were leached, indicating the excellent stability and reusability of the catalyst. Our study provides one effective way to synthesize heterogeneous acidic ionic liquid catalysts consisting of isolated, well defined acidic groups that will probably attract interest in acid catalyst chemistry.
Purified mCPBA, a Useful Reagent for the Oxidation of Aldehydes
Horn, Alexander,Kazmaier, Uli
, p. 2531 - 2536 (2018/03/21)
Purified mCPBA is a useful reagent for the oxidation of several classes of aldehyde. Although linear unbranched aliphatic aldehydes are oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids, α-branched ones undergo Baeyer–Villiger oxidation to formates. α-Branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes provide enolformates and/or epoxides, which can be saponified to α-hydroxy ketones with shortening of the carbon chain by 1 carbon. Unbranched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes undergo an interesting Baeyer–Villiger oxidation/epoxidation/formate migration/BV oxidation cascade, which results in formyl-protected hydrates with an overall loss of two carbon atoms.

supporting information, p. 10854 - 10857 (2017/08/30)
Herein a non-precious transition-metal catalyst system for the selective synthesis of dialkoxymethane ethers from carbon dioxide and molecular hydrogen is presented. The development of a tailored catalyst system based on cobalt salts in combination with selected Triphos ligands and acidic co-catalysts enabled a synthetic pathway, avoiding the oxidation of methanol to attain the formaldehyde level of the central CH2 unit. This unprecedented productivity based on the molecular cobalt catalyst is the first example of a non-precious transition-metal system for this transformation utilizing renewable carbon dioxide sources.

Jiang, Qing,Zhao, An,Xu, Bin,Jia, Jing,Liu, Xin,Guo, Cancheng
supporting information, p. 2709 - 2715 (2014/04/17)
A metal-free esterification of alkynes via C≡C triple bond cleavage has been developed. In the presence of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate), a diverse range of alkyne and alcohol substrates undergoes triple bond cleavage to produce carboxylic ester motifs in moderate to good yields. The transformation is proposed to proceed via hydroxyethanones and ethanediones as intermediates on the basis of mechanistic studies and exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance.
Effect of protecting agent concentration, catalyst (mol %) and temperature on the protection of 2-propanol catalyzed by dodeca-tungstophosphoric acid
Tayebee, Reza,Cheravi, Fatemeh
scheme or table, p. 5567 - 5574 (2012/07/31)
Protection of various alcohols with carboxylic acids catalyzed by heteropolyacids is realized as an efficient method among different familiar reaction pathways. Herein, effective reaction parameters such as temperature, alcohol:protecting agent mole ratio and catalyst (mol %) were investigated on the acetylation and formylation of 2-propanol with acetic acid, formic acid and ethyl formate, as acetylating agents, in the presence of dodeca- tungstophosphoric acid, H3PW12O40. Findings showed that efficiency of the protection system was increased by enhancing temperature, using higher amounts of catalyst and increasing concentration of the protecting agent. Obviously, enhancing concentration of the protecting agent was more effective than elevation of temperature on the reaction progress.
