Synthesis of functionally substituted benzaldehydes

A new method of synthesis of functionally substituted benzaldehydes by catalytic debromometoxylation of dibromomethylarenes with benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal has been suggested. Anhydrous zinc chloride has been used as a catalyst. Being soft Lewis acid, it formed no strong complex with aldehyde group and other functional groups. The initial acetal has been readily recovered by the treatment of benzaldehyde isolated from the reaction mixture with trimethyl orthoformate.

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate as a novel and highly efficient catalyst for acetal formation

Commercially available copper(II) tetrafluoroborate hydrate has been found to be a highly efficient catalyst for dimethyl/diethyl acetal formation in high yields from aldehydes and ketones by reaction with trimethyl/triethyl orthoformate at room temperature and in short period. Acetalisation was carried out under solvent-free conditions with electrophilic aldehydes/ketones. For weakly electrophilic aldehydes/ketones (e.g., benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and acetophenone) and for aldehydes having a substituent that can coordinate with the catalyst, the corresponding alcohol was used as solvent.

Unexpected catalysis: aprotic pyridinium ions as active and recyclable Brønsted acid catalysts in protic media

Simple pyridinium salt derivatives have been (rather unexpectedly) shown to promote highly efficient acetalization reactions of both aldehydes and ketones at ambient temperature. The optimum catalyst is aprotic, yet it can promote the formation of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal at 0.1 mol % loading more efficiently than a protic Br?nsted acid catalyst with a pKa of 2.2. The process is of wide scope with respect to both the nucleophilic and electrophilic components, and the ionic catalyst can be readily recovered by precipitation and reused without loss of activity.

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(2,2-Dipropargyl-1,3-Propylene Benzaldehyde Acetal) Containing a Bulky Acetal Structure

Abstract

Poly(2,2-dipropargyl-1,3-propylene benzaldehyde acetal) (PDPBA), a cyclopolymer containing a bulky acetal functional group, was prepared with transition metal catalysts. MoCl₅ was found to be the most effective catalyst, and any cocatalyst effect was hardly observed. Polymerization was quantitatively carried out under mild conditions (30°C, M₀ = 0.125) with MoCl₅-based catalysts. The structure and physical properties of the resulting polymer were investigated. The spectral data indicated that the polymer contains alternating double and single bonds along the polymer backbone and a cyclic recurring unit with spiro acetal group. The polymer was completely soluble in common organic solvents. The M _n value of the polymer was in the 70,000 to 80,000 range relative to polystyrene standards by GPC. In addition, the polymer possessed good thermal and oxidative stability. The electrical conductivity of the undoped polymer was 10^?12 S/cm.     

Palladium-catalyzed copolymerization of ethene with acrolein dimethyl acetal: catalyst action and deactivation

Acrolein dimethyl acetal (ADMA) can be copolymerized with ethene using a cationic alpha-diimine palladium chelate catalyst to yield branched copolymers. Catalyst deactivation occurs via methanol elimination to give an inert eta3-1-methoxyallyl palladium species. This process can be retarded by the addition of an aliquot of methanol to the reaction mixture, increasing overall catalyst productivity.

Poly(ester-acetals) from azelaaldehydic acid-glycerol compounds

Poly(ester-acetals) have been prepared from isopropylideneglyceryl azelaaldehydate dimethyl acetal and from methyl azelaaldehydate glycerol acetal. Acid hydrolysis of isopropylideneglyceryl azelaaldehydate led to oligomeric poly(ester-acetals) with six to seven repeating units and carboxylic acid endgroups from which the sodium salt and the methyl ester could be prepared. The polymer sodium salt showed some surfactant properties. Methyl azelaaldehydate glycerol acetal, a mixture of geometric and structural isomers, was polymerized under typical polyesterification conditions. Lime was the best catalyst found. Molecular weights of 5000 to 12000 were obtained. Some of these polymers contained significant quantities of calcium as the carboxylate salt. A tough elastomer was prepared by heating a poly(ester-acetal) with p-toluenesulfonic acid and zine oxide.     

Sulfonic acid-functionalized core-shell Fe_3O_4@carbon microspheres as magnetically recyclable solid acid catalysts

Green and recyclable solid acid catalysts are in urgent demand as a substitute for conventional liquid mineral acids.In this work,a series of novel sulfonic acid-functionalized core-shell Fe_3 O_4@carbon microspheres(Fe_3 O_4@C-SO_3 H) have been designed and synthesized as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous acid catalyst.For the synthesis,core-shell Fe_3 O_4@RF(resorcinol-formaldehyde) microspheres with tunable shell thickness were achieved by interfacial polymerization on magnetic Fe_3 O_4 microspheres.After high-temperature carbonization,the microspheres were eventually treated by surface sulfonation,re sulting in Fe_3 O_4@C-x-SO_3 H(x stands for carbonization temperature) microspheres with abundant surface SO_3 H groups.The obtained microspheres possess uniform core-shell structure,partially-graphitized carbon skeletons,superparamagnetic property,high magnetization saturation value of 10.6 emu/g,and rich SO_3 H groups.The surface acid amounts can be adju sted in the range of 0.59-1.04 mmol/g via sulfonation treatment of carbon shells with different graphitization degrees.The magnetic Fe_3 O_4@C-x-SO_3 H microspheres were utilized as a solid acid catalyst for the acetalization reaction between benzaldehyde and ethylene glycol,demonstrating high selectivity(97%) to benzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal.More importantly,by applying an external magnetic field,the catalysts can be easily separated from the heterogeneous reaction solutions,which later show well preserved catalytic activity even after 9 cycles,revealing good recyclability and high stability.     

Realizing porphyrin‐functionalization of crosslinked polystyrene microspheres via two special polymer reactions

A novel route to make crosslinked polystyrene (CPS) microspheres to be porphyrin‐functionalized via two special polymer reactions, Kornblum reaction and Adler reaction, was designed and founded. The chloromethyl groups of chloromethylated crosslinked polystyrene (CMCPS) microspheres were first oxidized to aldehyde groups by dimethyl sulfoxide as oxidant via Kornblum oxidation reaction, obtaining aldehyde group‐modified microspheres, ALCPS microspheres, in which, a great quantity of benzaldehyde groups suspend from the main chain, and the effects of the main factors including the reaction temperature, the addition of KI as catalyst and the used amount of NaHCO₃ as acid acceptor on the oxidation reaction were examined. Subsequently, the synchronic synthesizing and immobilizing of porphyrins on CPS microspheres were carried out via the Adler reaction between solid and liquid phases, in which, ALCPS microspheres, pyrrole and benzaldehyde or benzaldehyde analog in a solution were used as co‐reactants, resulting in porphyrin‐functionalized microspheres, and the influence of diverse factors including the acidity of the protonic acid catalyst, the substituent structure of benzaldehyde analog, and the polarity of the solvent as well as the swelling property of the solvent for CPS microspheres on the process of synchronously synthesizing and immobilizing porphyrins on CPS microspheres were investigated in depth. The experimental results indicate that via the designed route, the porphyrin‐functionalization of CPS microspheres can successfully be realized. For the Kornblum oxidation reaction, under the optimal reaction conditions, the conversion of chloromethyl groups can reach 90%. For the Adler reaction between solid and liquid phases, the fitting protonic acid catalyst is lactic acid, appropriate solvent is a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and xylene, and using 4‐chlorobenzaldehyde as a benzaldehyde analog reactant in the solution is in favor of the porphyrin‐functionalization of CPS microspheres. Under these specific conditions, the immobilized amount of porphyrin can get up to 23.33 mmol/100 g. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The preparation and stereochemistry of 1-chloroethyl-4-methyl-6,7-dimethoxyisochroman

The boron trifluoride catalyzed reaction of 2-methyl-2-(3,4-dimethoxypbenyl)ethanol and chloropropionaldehyde diethyl acetal yields a mixture of cis and trans 1-ehloroethyl-4-methyl-6,7-dimethoxyisochroman. The structure of the trans compound was established by X-ray analysis. The trans compound equilibrates to a mixture of the cis and trans when exposed to boron trifluoride catalyst.     

Indium(III) triflate catalyzed tandem azidation/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of ω,ω-dialkoxyalkyne derivatives with trimethylsilyl azide

The azidation reaction of dialkyl acetal derivatives with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN₃) was efficiently catalyzed by 1-5 mol % of In(OTf)₃. The major product differed depending on the substrate structure and molar ratio of TMSN₃, that is, aliphatic acetals provided α-azido ether derivatives, while aromatic acetal (benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal) provided gem-diazide, respectively. Furthermore, novel tandem azidation/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction using alkynyl acetal derivatives gave bicyclic triazolo-heterocyclic compounds, recognized as chemically modified aza-sugar analogues, in high yields under mild conditions.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of Atrane-type Hard and Soft Lewis Superacids with a Silyl,Germyl, or Stannyl Cationic Center

The synthesis and isolation of atrane-type molecules 1 E⁺ (E=Si, Ge, or Sn) having a cationic group 14 elemental center are reported. The cations 1 E⁺ act as hard and soft Lewis superacids, which readily interact with various hard and soft Lewis basic substrates. The rigid atrane framework stabilizes the localized positive charge on the elemental center and assists the formation of the well-defined highly coordinated states of 1 E⁺. The cations were applied to the hydrodefluorination, Friedel-Crafts reaction, alkyne cyclization, and carbonyl reduction as Lewis acid catalysts. Most notably, [ 1 Si][ClO₄] exhibits unique chemoselectivity that depends on a solvent in the competitive reaction of silyl enol ether with a mixture of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and benzaldehyde. Our findings indicate the potential of hard and soft Lewis superacids in organic synthesis.     

Synthesis of 4-(Dibromomethyl)benzaldehyde by Catalytic Debromophosphoryl- and Phosphonyloxylation of 1,4-Bis(dibromomethyl)benzene with Phosphorus(IV) Acid Methyl Esters and Its Properties

A new procedure has been developed for the simultaneous preparation of terephthalaldehyde and 4-(dibromomethyl)benzaldehyde by catalytic debromophosphoryl- and phosphonyloxylation of 1,4-bis- (dibromomethyl)benzene with P(IV) acid methyl esters. The reaction of 4-(dibromomethyl)benzaldehyde with ortho esters in the presence of sulfuric acid gave the corresponding acetals, whereas in the presence of ZnCl₂ terephthalaldehyde bis-acetals were formed. 4-(Dibromomethyl)benzaldehyde and its acetal were converted to methyl 4-(dibromomethyl)- and 4-(dimethoxymethyl)benzoates which were phosphorylated by the action of chlorophosphines, as well as by successive treatment with phosphorus(III) chloride and P(III) esters.     

Facile synthesis of aromatic unsymmetrical fluorine-containing acyloins through the reductive trifluoroacetylation of benzaldehyde and transposition of the carbonyl group

The reductive coupling reaction between benzaldehyde and ethyl trifluoroacetate in the presence of magnesium and chlorotrimethylsilane in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone gave the acetal of the corresponding coupling compound in good yields. The yield of the coupling product largely depended on the benzaldehyde concentration in the solution and it was essential to avoid the formation of pinacol type compounds in order to obtain the coupling product in high yields. The subsequent desilylation of the acetal using tetrabutylammonium fluoride easily yielded an acyloin compound as the sole product after the transposition of the carbonyl group through keto–enol tautomerism.
