Synthesis of 4-Methyl-2-Isopropyl- 1,3 -Dioxolane by TiSiW12O40/ TiO2 as Catalyst

Acetals and ketals are a kind of the important compounds and used to protect carbonyl,middle material of the organic synthesis. What's more, they are a sort of the widely use flavor substance. 4-Methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane has fresh fruit odor and apple note. It is used to producing many sorts of essence. And the conventional method to synthesize 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane makes use of sulfuric acid as catalyst in factories. But it causes many problems, such as the erosion of production equipment, difficulty after-treatment, low quality of the products, etc. HPA and its salts shows excellent catalytic activity to the esterification and have recently attracted much attention as catalysts for various industrial processes, because their acidic and redox properties can be controlled at atomic/molecular levels. Misono, Pope [1], and Wang [2]have reviewed the homogeneous catalysis and fine organic synthesis catalyzed by heteropoly compounds. However, there is no report on the synthesis of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane catalyzed by TiSiW12O40/TiO2. TiSiW12O40/TiO2 was prepared according to reference [3] and identified by means of IR and XRD. The reaction was carried out in a three-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, a reflux condenser, and a thermometer. A certain amounts of isobutyraldehyde,1,2-propanediol and the catalyst was heated to boiling and refluxed until no water flowed off. The purified product was analyzed by IR spectra and 1HNMR.In this paper, we report 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane was synthesized from isobutyraldehyde and 1,2-propanediol in the presence of TiSiW12O40/TiO2. The factors influencing the yield of product and the optimum reaction conditions were discussed. The optimum conditions are molar ratio of isobutyraldehyde to 1,2-propanediol was 1:1.5, the quantity of catalyst was equal to 0.5% feed stock, and the reaction time was 1.0 h. TiSiW12O40/TiO2 was an excellent catalyst to synthesize 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane and the yield can be up to 92.1%. IR spectra of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl- 1,3-dioxolane shows peaks at 1191,1100,1022,950 cm-1; 1HNMR (δH, ppm):4.65-4.67 (d, 1H, CH), 4.02-4.20 (m, 1H, CH), 3.81-3.92 (d, 1H, CH), 3.35-3.43 (t, 1H, CH),1.61～1.85 (m, 1H, CH), 1.14-1.29 (d, 3H, CH3), 0.96 (m, 6H, CH3); nD20=1.4135; b.p. 127-130 ℃.And we found that the catalyst can be utilized repeatedly, moreover, the catalytic activities of the catalyst are almost unchanged after it has been used five times. From the above results and discussion, we can see that the synthesis of 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane catalyzed by TiSiW12O40/TiO2 instead of sulfuric acid has a great prospect of application.

Acidolysis of poly(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane)

The onset of decomposition of poly(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane) was lowered to 70°C by 0.1 wt% p -toluene sulfonic acid from 170°C in the absence of acid to produce more than 81% yield of monomer.

A New Approach to the Synthesis of 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde. Reactivity and Molecular Structure Studies

 New approaches to the synthesis of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde by formation and selective isomer separation of 2-nitrophenyl-1,3-dioxolane and further hydrolysis are reported. In this route, the same acidic heterogeneous catalyst is used for 1,3-dioxolane formation and hydrolysis; it can be recycled several times without loss of efficiency. The ortho/meta isomers of 2-nitrophenyl-1,3-dioxolane can be separated by a combination of stereoselective crystallization and fractionated distillation. This new route reduces safety and environmental hazards in the synthesis of 2-nitro- and 3-nitro-benzaldehydes. The molecular structures of the nitro derivatives were confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The results are in accordance with a non-coplanar conformer of the 2-nitro derivatives (2-nitrobenzaldehyde and 2-(2′-nitrophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane), where the nitro group is twisted with respect to the phenyl ring. In contrary, both the carbonyl and the nitro group are coplanar with the phenyl ring in 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. This result is consistent with the reactivity of the compounds.

Synthesis of [4,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]nucleosides as Potential Inhibitors of HIV

The synthesis of 1,3-dioxolan-2-ylnucleosides and related chemistry is described. We have shown that 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane (6) reacts with silylated thymine and trimethylsilyl triflate to give the acyclic formate ester 1-[2-(formyloxy)ethyl]thymine (8) rather than 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)thymine (7). A tentative mechanism which could explain this result is discussed. On the other hand, 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxolane 13c reacts with silylated bases to give [4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]nucleosides, thus representing the first examples of this novel class of compounds. The nature of the nucleobase and the hydroxyl protecting groups was found to have great influence on the reaction and on the stability of the nucleosides. Compounds 16 and 18 were found to be inactive when tested for anti HIV-1 activity in vitro.

Photocrosslinking of poly(methyl acrylate)s containing the 1,3-dioxolane structure as a pendant group

(2-Ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl- and (2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl acrylates were synthesized and polymerized. The photochemical behavior of the resulting polymers was investigated to determine whether the polymers pending on the 1,3-dioxolane structure were readily crosslinked with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The degree of crosslinking was estimated by the weight-loss method by immersion in acetone, with the result that the polymer with an aromatic substituent was more photocrosslinkable than the polymer that bore the aliphatic substituent. The catalytic effect on photocrosslinking of polymers was also studied by using benzoin and cobalt naphthenate. The infrared (IR) spectra of polymers irradiated in air that showed the new band at 3450 cm^?1 were attributed to a hydroxyl group; however, the spectra of polymers irradiated in vacuum displayed little absorption at 3450 cm^?1. To explain the mechanism of crosslinking model compounds were prepared and irradiated with UV light. It was concluded that crosslinking proceeds mainly from the fission of the 1,3-dioxolane ring and the coupling of the yielding radicals, together with autooxidation by atmospheric oxygen.
