Imidazolium-Based Ionic Network as a Robust Heterogeneous Catalyst in Synthesis of Phenacyl Derivatives

A new imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid) has been synthesized and used as a robust heterogeneous catalyst for the preparation of phenacyl derivatives by an S_N2 reaction of different phenacyl bromides with a broad range of nucleophiles. The products are obtained in high yields under mild conditions. The catalyst can be recycled efficiently.

     

Synthesis and characterization of MCM-41@XA@Ni(II) as versatile and heterogeneous catalyst for efficient oxidation of sulfides and acetylation of alcohols under solvent-free conditions

Herein, Ni(II) immobilized on modified mesoporous silica MCM-41 was designed and synthesized via a facile sequential strategy. The structure of the catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The thermal property of the as-synthesized materials was studied using thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis. The average particles size and morphology of MCM-41@XA@Ni(II) were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This nanostructure catalyst was effective for the selective oxidation of sulfides and acetylation of alcohols in solvent-free conditions. The easy recyclability of the catalyst and their complete chemoselectivity toward the sulfur group of substrates in the oxidation of sulfides are important “green” attributes of this catalyst.     

Ni-guanidine@MCM-41 NPs: a new catalyst for the synthesis of 4,4ʹ-(arylmethylene)-bis-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ols) and symmetric di-aryl sulfides

In this work, the surface of mesoporous MCM-41 was modified with guanidine, and then, Nickel particles have become immobilized on its surface (Ni-guanidine@MCM-41NPs). This heterogeneous catalyst has been identified by various techniques including: low-angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, thermal gravimetric analysis and N₂ adsorption–desorption measurement isotherms, and its catalytic application was studied in the synthesis of 4,4ʹ-(arylmethylene)-bis-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives and symmetric di-aryl sulfides. The prepared organometallic complex could be isolated, post-reaction, by simple filtration for several consecutive cycles without a notable change in its catalytic activity.
