Ferrocene‐tagged ionic liquid stabilized on silica‐coated magnetic nanoparticles: Efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4H‐pyran derivatives under solvent‐free conditions

An advanced novel magnetic ionic liquid based on imidazolium tagged with ferrocene, a supported ionic liquid, is introduced as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst. Catalytic activity of the novel nanocatalyst was investigated in one‐pot three‐component reactions of various aldehydes, malononitrile and 2‐naphthol for the facile synthesis of 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4H‐pyran derivatives under solvent‐free conditions without additional co‐catalyst or additive in air. For this purpose, we firstly synthesized and investigated 1‐(4‐ferrocenylbutyl)‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate, [FcBuMeIm][OAc], as a novel basic ferrocene‐tagged ionic liquid. This ferrocene‐tagged ionic liquid was then linked to silica‐coated nano‐Fe₃O₄ to afford a novel heterogeneous magnetic nanocatalyst, namely [Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@Im‐Fc][OAc]. The synthesized novel catalyst was characterized using ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Fourier transform infrared and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopies, X‐ray diffraction, and transmission and field emission scanning electron microscopies. Combination of some unique characteristics of ferrocene and the supported ionic liquid developed the catalytic activity in a simple, efficient, green and eco‐friendly protocol. The catalyst could be reused several times without loss of activity.     

An ionic liquid-tagged second generation Hoveyda-Grubbs ruthenium carbene complex as highly reactive and recyclable catalyst for ring-closing metathesis of di-, tri- and tetrasubstituted dienes

A second generation Hoveyda-Grubbs ruthenium carbene complex bearing an ionic liquid tag was prepared and shown to be a highly reactive catalyst for the ring-closing metathesis of di-, tri- and tetrasubstituted diene and enyne substrates in minimally ionic solvent systems ([Bmim]PF₆/CH₂Cl₂, 1:9-1:1 v/v). Both the catalyst and the ionic liquid can be conveniently recycled and repeatedly reused (up to 17 cycles) with only a very slight loss of activity. The ionic liquid tag is crucial to the high level of recyclability of the catalyst since the original second generation Grubbs and Hoveyda-Grubbs catalysts rapidly lose their activity when recycled in the ionic liquid layer.

Nano-Fe3O4–Supported,Hydrogensulfate Ionic Liquid–Catalyzed,One-Pot Synthesis of Polysubstituted Pyridines

Abstract

Anchoring 1-methyl-3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium chloride onto silica-coated magnetic Fe₃O₄ particles afforded the corresponding supported ionic liquid. Exchanging the Cl^? anion by treating with H₂SO₄ gave Brønsted ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium hydrogensulfate. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by various techniques such as infrared, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analyses. The results indicated that the prepared catalyst had a nanostructure. The catalytic activity of the supported ionic liquid was examined in the synthesis of the polysubstituted pyridines by reaction of aromatic aldehydes with acetophenones and ammonium acetate in moderate to good yields under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field and reused for at least seven runs without deterioration in catalytic activity.     

Catalytic Conversion of Glucose into Levulinic Acid Using 2-Phenyl-2-Imidazoline Based Ionic Liquid Catalyst

Levulinic acid (LA) is an industrially important product that can be catalytically valorized into important value-added chemicals. In this study, hydrothermal conversion of glucose into levulinic acid was attempted using Brønsted acidic ionic liquid catalyst synthesized using 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline, and 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline-based ionic liquid catalyst used in this study was synthesized in the laboratory using different anions (NO₃, H₂PO₄, and Cl) and characterized using ¹H NMR, TGA, and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The activity trend of the Brønsted acidic ionic liquid catalysts synthesized in the laboratory was found in the following order: [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] > [C₄SO₃HPhim][NO₃] > [C₄SO₃HPhim][H₂PO₄]. A maximum 63% yield of the levulinic acid was obtained with 98% glucose conversion at 180 °C and 3 h reaction time using [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] ionic liquid catalyst. The effect of different reaction conditions such as reaction time, temperature, ionic liquid catalyst structures, catalyst amount, and solvents on the LA yield were investigated. Reusability of [C₄SO₃HPhim][Cl] catalyst up to four cycles was observed. This study demonstrates the potential of the 2-phenyl-2-imidazoline-based ionic liquid for the conversion of glucose into the important platform chemical levulinic acid.     

Green route for selective gram‐scale oxidation of sulfides using tungstate/triazine‐based ionic liquid immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles as a phase‐transfer heterogeneous catalyst

Tungstate ions were successfully loaded onto triazine‐based ionic liquid‐functionalized magnetic nanoparticles through an anion exchange process. The use of triazine core for creating ionic liquid led to the immobilization of high amounts of WO₄^2?. The resulting catalyst showed high activity and selectivity in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with H₂O₂ as a green oxidant at room temperature. In addition, due to the presence of ammonium groups in the catalyst structure, water dispersibility of the catalyst was increased. More important, the catalyst was magnetically recovered and reused for up to six runs without any marked decrease of activity and selectivity. Finally, easy gram‐scale oxidation of methylphenyl sulfide as well as fast separation of catalyst and product makes the protocol economical and industrially applicable.

Biphasic ethylene polymerisation using ionic liquid over a titanocene catalyst activated by an alkyl aluminium compound

1-n-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate ([BMIM]⁺[AlCl₄]⁻) was applied to biphasic ionic liquid/hexane ethylene polymerisation as a medium of the Cp₂TiCl₂ titanocene catalyst activated by alkylaluminium compounds (MAO, AlEt₂Cl, AlEt₃). The best results were obtained using AlEt₂Cl. The results show that catalyst recycling, higher ethylene pressure, and greater Al/Ti molar ratio along with a greater volume of the ionic liquid phase enhance catalyst activity. The polyethylene gathered from the hexane phase is characterised primarily by its high purity. Its physical properties remain polyethylene obtained over a heterogeneous metallocene catalyst. Thus, biphasic ionic liquid polymerisation using a metallocene catalyst is possible and offers interesting technological implications.
