Cationic complexes of dirhodium(II) with 1,8-naphthyridine: Catalysis of reactions involving silanes

The synthesis of cationic dirhodium(II) complexes by partial or total substitution of the acetate groups of [Rh₂(OAc)₄] with different homoleptic neutral bidentate ligands has been attempted. The ligand 1,8-naphthyridine gave the best results: substitution of one as well as of all four acetate ligands is possible, giving rise to mono-, di- and tetra-cationic complexes. One of the resulting tetrasubstituted complexes has been structurally characterised and found to exhibit the expected lantern-shaped structure. All cationic complexes have been investigated as catalysts in different reactions involving silanes: promising results have been obtained, particularly in the silylformylation of alkynes.

Solvent network at the transition state in the solvolysis of hindered sulfonyl compounds

Alcoholysis rates of unhindered benzenesulfonyl chlorides (X‐ArSO₂Cl, X = H‐; 4‐Br‐; 4‐Me‐) are similar in methanol; the same behavior is also observed in ethanol, whereas the reactivity order in iso‐propanol is 4 Me‐ < H‐ < 4‐Br‐. On the other hand, alcoholysis of sterically hindered arenesulfonyl chlorides (X‐ArSO₂Cl) (X = 2,4,6‐Me₃‐3‐NO₂‐; 2,6‐Me₂‐4‐tBu‐; 2,4,6‐Me₃‐; 2,3,5,6‐Me₄‐; 2,4,6‐iPr₃‐; 2,4‐Me₂‐; 2,4,6‐(OMe)₃‐) in all studied alcohols show a significant increase in reactivity, the so‐called positive steric effect. Most of the substrates showed a reaction order b ~ 2 with respect to the nucleophile in methanol and ethanol, and b ~ 3 in iso‐propanol. The correlation between reactivity and the Kirkwood function (1/ξ) gives negative sensitivity (U) for all systems. All substrates showed high sensitivity to media nucleophilicity that depends on Σσ_X. Obtained results suggest the alcoholysis of benzenesulfonyl chlorides proceeds through S_N2 mechanism where the transition state (TS) involves the participation of 2–3 alcohol molecules; such a TS can be cyclic, in the case of unbranched alcohols, or linear, for alcohols with bulkier hydrocarbon groups like iso‐propanol. To include the number of alcohol molecules playing such a role in the TS, the following terminology is proposed: cS_N2s_n for S_N2 reactions involving n solvent molecules in a cyclic (c) TS, where “s” stands for the solvent and “n” is either the closest integer or half‐integer to the reaction order relative to the solvent or, in computational studies, the proposed number of solvent molecules taking part in the TS, whereas S_N2s_n is proposed when the TS is not cyclic.

Synthesis and thermal properties of epoxy resins from ester-carboxylic acid derivative of alcoholysis lignin

Alcoholysis lignin (AL) was dissolved in ethylene glycol and the obtained mixture was reacted with succinic anhydride to form a mixture of ester-carboxylic acid derivatives (AL-polyacid, ALPA). Ethylene glycol-polyacid (EGPA) was also prepared from ethylene glycol. The obtained mixture of ester carboxylic acid derivatives was treated with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether in the presence of catalytic amount of dimethylbenzylamine to form ester-epoxy resins. The curing reaction was analyzed by Ozawa's method using differential scanning calorimetry. The activation energy of curing reaction in the initial step was found to be ca. 84 kJ mol⁻¹. The molar ratios of epoxy groups to carboxylic acid groups ([EPOXY]/[AA] ratios) were varied from 0.8 to 1.3. The contents of ALPA in the mixture of ALPA and EGPA were also varied from 0 to 100%. Thermal properties of epoxy resins were studied by DSC and thermogravimetry. Glass transition temperatures of epoxy resins showed a maximum value of −11.5 °C when [EPOXY]/[AA] ratio was 1.1. T_g increased with increasing ALPA contents suggesting that lignin acts as a hard segment in epoxy resin networks. Thermal degradation temperatures of epoxy resins slightly decreased with increasing ALPA contents.     

乙酐醇解反应的溶剂效应机理

本文研究了苯、四氯化碳和丙酮等18种溶剂对乙酐,乙醇反应速率的影响.在醇解反应中,乙酐过渡态的形成,需要ROH中的氧原子进攻乙酐的C~(+δ)中心,同时需要ROH中的羟基H~(δ+)接受乙酐的进攻.因此能与ROH或乙酐负氧作用的溶剂,对醇解反应不利.若把溶剂分子中正H集团的正电荷强度、负电集团强度和类乙酐中心集团等结构因素定性地用一结构参数表示,则此结构参数可定性地说明溶剂对乙酐醇解反应速率的大致影响.

Preparation of poly (styrene‐co‐allyl sulfonic acid) as a novel catalyst for the alcoholysis of dioscin

This work describes the preparation of a novel solid acid, poly (styrene‐co‐allyl sulfonic acid) (St‐SAA), and its activity test for extracting diosgenin from Dioscorea Zingiberensis C.H. Wright (DZW). The solid acid was synthesized by the radical polymerization of styrene and sodium allyl sulfonate in water/ethanol solution, followed by the acidification. The prepared solid acid was characterized by infrared spectrum (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), element analysis, and scanning electron microscope. The solid acid catalyst was used to extract diosgenin from DZW. It was found that the alcoholysis activity of the solid acid was higher than the hydrolysis activity of sulfuric acid with the same mass under the same conditions. Besides, the solid acid can be separated from the reaction mixture for the recycling extraction of diosgenin, and the solid acid has no loss of mass and no decrease of alcoholysis activity after repeated cycles.     

乙二醇醇解松木屑反应特征及机理分析

利用酸化的乙二醇作溶剂对松木屑进行醇解,探讨了温度和时间对醇解转化率的影响。利用热重分析、红外光谱分析、扫描电镜及X射线衍射考察了醇解残渣的性质。分别利用傅里叶变换红外光谱及色质联用分析了正己烷不溶物和可溶物中组分的分布及特征。结果表明,松木屑转化率在90 min、160℃达到最大值95.3%。松木屑中纤维素无定形区的组分和木质素发生了解离,醇解残渣的表面结构被破坏;正己烷不溶物是含有羟基、甲氧基及醚键等含氧官能团的化合物;正己烷可溶物主要由苯二甲酸酯、硬脂酸甲酯、2-甲基己酸丙酯、2-甲基丙酸、聚乙二醇及未反应的乙二醇组成。乙二醇与松木屑解离的羧酸发生酯化反应,对液相产物具有稳定作用,促进了松木屑的醇解反应;醇解过程中乙二醇自缩聚生成聚乙二醇,增大了乙二醇的消耗。
