IBX in an ionic liquid: eco-friendly oxidation of 17α-methylandrostan-3β,17β-diol, an intermediate in the synthesis of anabolic oxandrolone

An easily available hypervalent iodine(V) reagent, 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) immobilized in the ionic liquid [bmim][Br] was found to be an efficient and eco-friendly protocol for the oxidation of 17α-methylandrostan-3β,17β-diol (1). At ambient temperature oxidation of 1 with IBX gave mestanolone (2) in good yield and with an increased stoichiometric amount of IBX, oxidation adjacent to the carbonyl functionality (α,β-unsaturation) occurred to give dehydrogenated 17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-Δ¹-androsten-3-one (3) as the major product in a one-pot reaction. The product is easily obtained by extraction with diethyl ether and evaporation of the solvent.     

Effect of CO_2 on the structural variation of Na_2WO_4/Mn/SiO_2 catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene

In this work,the influence of CO2 on the structural variation and catalytic performance of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 for oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD,Raman and XPS techniques. Appropriate amount of CO2 in the reactant gases enhanced the formation of surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and promoted the migration of O in MOx,Na,W from the catalyst bulk to surface,which were favorable for oxidative coupling of methane. When the molar ratio of CH4/O2/CO2 was 3/1/2,enriched surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and high surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W were detected,and then high CH4 conversion of 33.1% and high C2H4 selectivity of 56.2% were obtained. With further increase of CO2 in the reagent gases,the content of active surface tetrahedral Na2WO4 species and surface concentration of O in MOx,Na,W decreased,while that of inactive species(Mn WO4 and Mn2O3) increased dramatically,leading to low CH4 conversion and low C2H4 selectivity. It could be speculated that Na2WO4 crystal was transformed into Mn WO4 crystal with excessive CO2 added under the reaction conditions. Pretreatment of Na2WO4/Mn/Si O2 catalyst by moderate amount of CO2 before OCM also promoted the formation of Na2WO4 species.

Approaches to the synthesis of some tyrosine-derived marine sponge metabolites: synthesis of verongamine and purealidin N

The oxidation of tyrosine ethyl ester (7) with Na(2)WO(4)/H(2)O(2) in ethanol, dimethyldioxirane in acetone, or methyltrioxorhenium/H(2)O(2) in EtOH gave the corresponding tyrosine oxime (8) in high yield. Controlled bromination of the aromatic ring gave the monobromo oxime (9), the dibromo oxime (10), or the spiroisoxazoline (11) depending upon reaction conditions. Synthesis of the known metabolite verongamine (15) was achieved by oxidation of O-methyl bromotyrosine methyl ester and amidation of the resulting oxime ester (14) with histamine. The mono- and di-bromotyrosine oxime derivatives (9 and 10) were further transformed into the naturally occurring nitriles (16 and 17) by base hydrolysis of the ester and acid-catalyzed decarboxylation. Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of the dibromobenzaldehyde (20b) with phosphonate (18) gave the pyruvate silylenolether (21b). Deprotection and in situ oxime formation gave the oxime ester (23b). Attempted purification of the pyruvate ester resulted in a homoaldol condensation yielding butenolide (22). Amidation of the oxime ester (23b) with histamine, followed by deprotection of the MOM ether gave the first synthesis of purealidin N (28). Oxidative spirocyclization of the phenolic oxime ester (23d) with a polymer-bound iodosyl diacetate gave the spiroisoxazoline (24) and represents a formal synthesis of aerothionin (26a), homoaerothionin (26b), and aerophobin-1 (25).     

A new synthetic route to boron-10 enriched pentaborane(9) from boric acid and its conversion to anti-(10)B(18)H(22)

Boron-10 enriched boric acid, H310BO3, was converted to the corresponding sodium borohydride, Na10BH4, in essentially quantitative yields, by using slightly modified literature methods involving the formation of butyl borate, (n-OBu)310B, first and then reacting it with NaH in mineral oil. The oxidation reaction of Na10BH4 with I2 in diglyme and subsequent addition/purification in dioxane gave Na[10B3H8]0.3(C4H8O2) that reacted further with NiCl2 in either anhydrous benzene or heavy mineral oil at 110 degrees C to produce the corresponding 10B5H9 as the first isolated 10B-enriched liquid boron hydride in a laboratory environment. Treatment of this 10B5H9 with NaH or t-BuLi in 2:1 molar ratio underwent a cage expansion reaction to produce the [M]10B9H14 that undergoes a redox reaction in situ with anhydrous NiCl2 in n-hexane to yield the corresponding fused cage anti-10B18H22 as the only solid borane product in 42% yield, thus establishing new synthetic routes for the preparation of 10B-enriched polyhedral boranes.     

二氧化硅负载磷钨酸催化合成3,4-二氢嘧啶-2(1H)-酮衍生物

以取代苯甲醛、乙酰乙酸乙酯和尿素为原料,以溶胶凝胶法制备二氧化硅负载的磷钨酸（H3PW12O40/SiO2）为催化剂,催化合成3,4-二氢嘧啶-2(1H)-酮,考察了三组分摩尔比、反应温度、催化剂用量及反应时间对反应收率的影响。 研究表明,H3PW12O40/SiO2是合成3,4-二氢嘧啶-2(1H)-酮的良性催化剂,在取代苯甲醛的用量为0.04 mol,反应温度为90 ℃的条件下,收率可达73.1%~88.4%。 催化剂和产品结构分别经IR、XRD、SEM和1H NMR、IR、MS等技术手段表征。     

不同晶型WO3·0.33H2O的结构及性能

以Na2WO4.2H2O为主要原料,采用液相法(80℃)和离子交换-水热法(150℃)分别制备了六方WO3.0.33H2O和以正交相为主的混合晶型WO3.0.33H2O。通过对2种晶型WO3.0.33H2O材料进行X射线衍射(XRD)、场发射电子扫描显微镜(FE-SEM)、红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和循环伏安测试,表征了产物的晶相和结构等。正交WO.30.33H2O结构中由于相邻钨氧八面体层的相互位移而形成空隙,六方WO3.0.33H2O结构中没有位移则形成孔道;正交WO3.0.33H2O具有比六方WO3.0.33H2O更短键长的W=O和更负的导带位置。紫外-可见透射光谱研究表明,六方WO.30.33H2O具有更明显的电致变色效应,可能是因为结构中的孔道使H+易扩散使六方WO.30.33H2O更易发生氧化还原反应。光催化性能研究表明,正交WO3.0.33H2O具有更负的导带位置,价带电子跃迁后易于向电子受体转移,抑制了电子和空穴的复合,使得混合晶型WO3.0.33H2O的紫外光光催化能力相对六方WO.30.33H2O更强。

Lanthanide-tungstobismuthate clusters based on [BiW9O33]9- building units: synthesis, crystal structures, luminescent and magnetic properties

The reaction of Na(12)[Bi(2)W(22)O(74)(OH)(2)]·44H(2)O, Na(9)[BiW(9)O(33)]·16H(2)O, lanthanide chloride and Na(2)CO(3) in aqueous solution at a pH value of about 7.0 resulted in the three unprecedented giant lanthanide-tungstobismuthate clusters Na(x)H(22-x)[(BiW(9)O(33))(4)(WO(3)){Bi(6)(μ(3)-O)(4)(μ(2)-OH)(3)}(Ln(3)(H(2)O)(6)CO(3))]·nH(2)O {Ln = Pr(3+) (1), Nd(3+) (2), La(3+) (3), x = 22 (1), 22 (2), 20 (3), n = 95 (1), 91 (2), 73 (3)}. These three complexes represent the first examples of lanthanide ions encapsulated in polyoxotungstobismuthates and the largest polytungstobismuthates so far. Furthermore, a [{Bi(6)(μ(3)-O)(4)(μ(2)-OH)(3)}](7+) polyoxo cation was incorporated into the structure of these compounds. All complexes are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, electronic spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analysis. Magnetic investigation revealed that the progressive depopulation of excited Stark sublevels of the lanthanide ions at low temperature and the weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the neighboring metal centres are responsible for the magnetic properties of 1 and 2. The original synthesis strategy in this work may open a gateway to assembly of large lanthanide-tungstobismuthates clusters and novel multifunctional solid materials in aqueous solution under mild conditions.     

Particle/metal-based monolithic catalysts dual-bed reactor with beds-interspace supplementary oxygen:Construction and performance for oxidative coupling of methane

A novel particle/metal-based monolithic catalysts dual-bed reactor with beds-interspace supplementary oxygen is constructed comprising of the upper-layer 5wt%Na2WO4-2wt%Mn/SiO2 particle catalyst and the under-layer 3 wt%Ce-5 wt%Na2WO4-2 wt%Mn/SBA-15/Al2O3 /FeCrAl metal-based monolithic catalyst as well as a side tube in the interspaces of two layers for supplementing O2.The reaction performance of oxidative coupling of methane(OCM) in the dual-bed reactor system is evaluated.The effects of the reaction parameters such as feed CH 4 /O 2 ratio,reaction temperature and side tube feed O2 flowrate on the catalytic performance are investigated.The results indicate that the suggested mode of dual-bed reactor exhibits an excellent performance for OCM.CH4 conversion of 33.2%,C2H4 selectivity of 46.5% and C2 yield of 22.5% could be obtained,which have been increased by 6.4%,4.1% and 5.5%,respectively,as compared with 5 wt%Na2WO4-2 wt%Mn/SiO2 particle catalyst in a single-bed reactor and increased by 10.7%,31.9% and 17.7%,respectively,as compared with 3 wt%Ce-5 wt%Na2WO4-2 wt%Mn/SBA-15/Al2O3 /FeCrAl metal-based monolithic catalyst in a single-bed reactor.The effective promotion of OCM performance in the reactor would supply a valuable reference for the industrialization of OCM process.     

Methoxide Promoted Anionic Cyclization of 2-Alkynylbenzonitrile:A New Synthesis of 3-Substituted Isoqunolin-1-one

The treatment of 2-(2-alkylethynyl)benzonitrile with sodium methoxide in methanol gave 3-alkyl-l(2H)-isoquinolinone in modest yield. Under the same reaction conditions methanolysis of 2-(2-arylethynyl)benzonitrile lead to the formation of 3-alkylidene isoindol-1-one. Partially hydrolysis of 2-(l-hexynyl)benzonitrile to the corresponding benzamide,followed by the treatment of the benzamide with sodium methoxide gave 3-pentylidene isoindol-1-one in 11% yield. This result suggests that benzamide is not the intermediate of the formation of isoquinolinone. The more plausible mechanism of this methanolysis process is involving the iminium anion cycloaromatization to form 2-methoxyisoquinoline and subsequent hydrolyze to isoquinolinone. In one case,2-methoxyisoquinoline product was isolated.     

表面偶联甲基自由基实现低温高效甲烷氧化偶联

天然气作为一种低碳清洁能源,其储量大,价格低,被认为是最有前途的石油替代资源之一.而以天然气的主要成分——甲烷为原料来生产高价值化学品被认为是石化工业中实现天然气取代石油为原料新化工路线的技术基础,具有极为可观的社会经济价值.目前甲烷的化学利用主要采用间接转化法,即先从甲烷制合成气,再由合成气制备各种化工原料和油品.但该路线流程复杂,能耗大,生产成本高及投资大,具有明显的局限性,这促使着人们不断探索能量效率更高的甲烷直接转化技术.甲烷氧化偶联(OCM)是最重要的甲烷直接转化技术之一.自1982首次报道以来,人们开发了1000多种OCM催化剂,涉及元素超过68种,但C₂烃类(乙烷和乙烯)的收率普遍低于30%,尚未实现工业化.传统研究认为,OCM反应遵循“多相-均相”催化反应机理,甲烷在催化剂表面活化产生甲基自由基后,在气相中进行偶联生成乙烷和乙烯等产物.由于高温下甲基自由基很容易脱附到气相,传统的OCM催化剂一般只在甲基自由基的产生这一步发挥作用.而随后在气相中发生的甲基自由基均相反应并不受催化剂控制,在热力学驱动下,会倾向于深度氧化生成CO2等副产物,因此OCM反应中C₂的收率上限为25%–28%.理论上来说,只有当催化剂能够在甲基自由基偶联这一步发挥作用时,C₂物种的收率才可能打破上限,但目前尚未有催化剂实现甲基自由基可控表面偶联.本文提出并证实5wt%Na₂WO₄/SiO₂(5NaWSi)具有催化甲基自由基表面偶联的能力.在低温下,5NaWSi本身对于OCM没有催化活性,但是它的加入能够显著提高La₂O₃催化剂的C₂选择性,进而提高C₂收率,使其在570℃的低温下即可达到10.9%的C₂收率.在La₂O₃和5NaWSi之间加入一层甲基自由基淬灭剂——石英砂,这种提升作用随即消失,表明甲基自由基在5NaWSi上的表面偶联可能是C₂选择性和收率提升的主要原因.本文进一步采用同步辐射光电离质谱技术原位检测了反应过程中的自由基中间体,结果发现,La₂O₃表面产生的甲基自由基确实可以在5NaWSi表面进行偶联,进而提高C₂的选择性和收率.通过对5NaWSi的组成和结构进行分析,发现5NaWSi中的Na₂WO₄纳米团簇可能是甲基自由基偶联的活性位点,该位点不仅具有很强的甲基自由基吸附能力,为甲基自由基表面偶联提供机会,同时不会深度氧化C₂物种,有效地提高了C₂选择性.以此为基础建立理论模型,我们通过DFT计算对甲基自由基在5NaWSi表面的偶联机制进行了研究.结果表明,5NaWSi对甲基自由基具有很强的吸附能力,而吸附后的甲基自由基更倾向于偶联生成C₂产物,而不是β-H消除生成HCHO等副产物,表明5NaWSi确实是很好的甲基自由基表面偶联催化剂.甲基自由基表面偶联的证实为OCM催化剂的开发开辟了新方向.从双功能催化剂设计的角度出发,将OCM反应分解成甲烷活化和甲基自由基偶联这两个部分,并分别针对这两个部分来筛选和优化催化剂,将有望突破C₂收率上限,进而推进OCM的工业化进程.     

Sensitization of lanthanoid luminescence by organic and inorganic ligands in lanthanoid-organic-polyoxometalates

The reaction of terbium and europium salts with the lacunary polyxometalate (POM) [As(2)W(19)O(67)(H(2)O)](14-) and 2-picolinic acid (picH) affords the ternary lanthanoid-organic-polyoxometalate (Ln-org-POM) complexes [Tb(2)(pic)(H(2)O)(2)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(2)(WO(2)(pic))(3)](10-) (1), [Tb(8)(pic)(6)(H(2)O)(22)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(4)(WO(2)(pic))(6)](12-) (2), and [Eu(8)(pic)(6)(H(2)O)(22)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(4)(WO(2)(pic))(6)](12-) (3). A detailed synthetic investigation has established the conditions required to isolate pure bulk samples of the three complexes as the mixed salts H(0.5)K(8.5)Na[1]·30H(2)O, K(4)Li(4)H(4)[2]·58H(2)O, and Eu(1.66)K(7)[3]·54H(2)O, each of which has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural and can be considered to be composed of two molecules of 1 linked through an inversion center with four additional picolinate-chelated lanthanoid centers. When irradiated with a laboratory UV lamp at room temperature, compounds K(4)Li(4)H(4)[2]·58H(2)O and Eu(1.66)K(7)[3]·54H(2)O visibly luminesce green and red, respectively, while compound H(0.5)K(8.5)Na[1]·30H(2)O is not luminescent. A variable temperature photophysical investigation of the three compounds has revealed that both the organic picolinate ligands and the inorganic POM ligands sensitize the lanthanoid(III) luminescence, following excitation with UV light. However, considerably different temperature dependencies are observed for Tb(III) versus Eu(III) through the two distinct sensitization pathways.

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between 2,5-dimethyl-3-thienylboronic and mucobromic acids under phase transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions gave the expected 3,4-bis(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-5-hydroxyfuran-2-one in 32% yield. The by-product was 2,2’,5,5’-tetramethyl-3,3’-bithiophene.
