ETUDE DE QUELQUES REACTIONS DE LA TRIS(TERT-BUTYL)PHENYLPHOSPHINE

Abstract

The reaction of tris(tert-butyl)phenylphosphine with some hydrogen acceptors has been investigated. Triphenylcarbenium hexafluorophosphate allows to obtain a phosphonium salt: the possibility of preliminary formation of phosphenium with a P[sbnd]H bond during this reaction is discussed. With methyltrifluoromethanesulfonate, two pentacoordinated phosphorus compounds are isolated. Diethylazodicarboxylate gives rise to a σ³, λ⁵-phosphorane. The transient formation of phosphinidene and of 1,2-bis(ethylcarboxylate) 3-tris(tert-butyl)phenyldiazaphosphirine is discussed.

Fructose dehydration to 5HMF in a green self-catalysed DES composed of N,N-diethylethanolammonium chloride and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (p-TSA)

Due to the increasing concerns about the availability and accessibility of fossil fuel reserves, and the subsequent effect of using them on climate change, production of green energy has recently become a hot area of interest in the research field. As a renewable energy source, biomass conversion to biofuels has shown a great potential towards green fuel production; particularly fructose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5HMF) as a building block material and source of green fuels and other high value chemicals.Herein, we investigate fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5HMF) as a green fuel precursor, using a green self-catalysed environmentally friendly Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES), composed of inexpensive N,N-diethylethanolammonium chloride as organic salt and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (p-TSA) as a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and novel medium for the fructose dehydration reaction.The advantage of using this DES is its ability to act as a solvent and catalyst simultaneously. It has shown to actively catalyse the dehydration reaction of fructose under moderate reaction conditions with a high 5HMF yield of 84.8% at a reaction temperature of 80 °C, reaction time of 1 h, DES mixing ratio of 1:0.5 salt to p-TSA (w/w), and initial fructose ratio of 5.     

Oxidation of bis(triethylgermyl)mercury in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol

The oxidation of bis(triethylgermyl)mercury by oxygen in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol has been investigated. It has been shown that the dependence of the rate of oxidation on the value of n ¹ for tert-butyl alcohol within the range n = 0–12 is similar to that for unassociated ligand-catalysts. On increasing n further (from 12 to 60) increasing association of the alcohol causes a drastic increase in the reaction rate relative to the increase in n due to the higher catalytic activity of the high molecular weight associated species.

Meglumine sulfate-catalyzed one-pot green synthesis and antioxidant activity of α-aminophosphonates

A green and efficient synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of a new series of substituted diethyl(((2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)(phenyl)methyl)phosphonates via a one-pot three-component reaction of 2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethyl aniline with various aromatic-substituted aldehydes and diethyl phosphite using meglumine sulfate as an eco-friendly catalyst at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The merits of this method are high product yield, short reaction time, easy workup, and purification. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for the antioxidant activity by DPPH, NO, and H₂O₂ methods using ascorbic acid as a standard. The compounds 4a and 4g showed the highest antioxidant activity than that of the standard ascorbic acid.

Eco-friendly synthesis of 2-azetidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide

Abstract

2-Azetidinones possess broad and potent activity due to presence of β-lactam ring and has been established as one of the biologically important scaffolds. The synthesis of N-(4-aryl-2-oxoazetidinone)-isonicotinamide by novel methods of stirring and sonication are described. The conventional method for synthesis of 2-azetidinones involves use of Dean–Stark water separator for the removal of water from the reaction with long reaction time (12–16 h reflux) at a very low temperature (?70 to ?90°C). The microwave method reported requires inert atmosphere of nitrogen gas for the synthesis of 2-azetidinones. We report herein the synthesis of 2-azetidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide by novel green route methods of sonication and stirring using molecular sieves. Results indicate that higher yields and shorter reaction times can be achieved by employing novel green route methods of synthesis.

On the other hand, the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexanediones with 2-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes under the same reaction condition afforded xanthenone derivatives 9-11.     

Tween-20: An Efficient Catalyst for One-Pot Synthesis of α-Aminophosphonates in Aqueous Media

Abstract

A green one-pot three-component synthesis has been developed for α-aminophosphonates by condensation of aldehydes, amines, and diethylphosphite by using nonionic surfactant Tween-20 as catalyst in aqueous media. The results showed that this synthetic route for α-aminophosphonates takes just 25–60 min for completion at 60 °C and affords 64%–91% yields depending on the nature of the amine substrates. The major advantages of this novel method are green reaction conditions with water as solvent, simple workup, less reaction times, and high to moderate yields.

Abstract

A facile and efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of spirooxindole dihydroquinazolinone derivatives and new N-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)isonicotinamides from reaction between isatoic anhydride, isoniazid and substituted aldehydes catalyzed by 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (taurine) is describe. This new protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, good yields, and convenient operation. The reaction proceeds efficiently using water as green solvent and nontoxic catalysts that could be efficiently reused. Together with this simple workup procedure, use of the organocatalyst, and water as solvent without the need of column chromatographic purification, are the notable features of this methodology, which make this protocol a very efficient and green alternative to the traditional methods.     

THE MASS SPECTRA OF PHOSPHONYL COMPOUNDS PART 31. DIMETHYL AND DIETHYL ALKANE- AND SUBSTITUTED-METHANE PHOSPHONATES

Abstract

The electron impact mass spectra of 28 related phosphonates have been determined. Ethyl, iso-propyl and tert-butyl groups which are bound directly to phosphorus, fragment to the corresponding alkenes; similar iso-propyl and tert-butyl groups in the dimethyl esters also fragment to ethylene and propene respectively, i.e. the P-alkyl group rearranges with transfer of the elements of a methyl group to the phosphorus ion. The diethyl alkenephosphonates undergo double hydrogen rearrangements of an ethoxy group to give dihydroxyphosphonium ions. The di- and trihydroxyphosphonium ions have a characteristic fragmentation which involves loss of water. This characteristic has been used as evidence for the rearrangement of a phosphacylium ion to a dihydroxyphosphonium ion. Some other unusual rearrangements involving the combination of the groups bound to phosphorus and oxygen have been observed.

Green and mild oxidation: from acetate anion to oxalate anion

Abstract

A novel reaction system for the preparation of oxalate anion from cupric acetate and 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline under green and mild reaction conditions is reported herein, namely, the methyl group from the acetate anion has been oxidized into a carboxyl group by air in the presence of Cu^II ion and 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline at 0 to 30?°C. In the reaction, the Cu^II complex was formed with 1,10-phenanthrolin-2-ol and oxalate as ligands, in which 1,10-phenanthrolin-2-ol comes from the hydrolysis of 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline and oxalate from the oxidation of acetate. The reaction system functions similarly to those of fungi.

The reaction system reported herein can oxidize methyl group into oxalate anion undergreen and mild reaction condition.
