不同模板剂含量MCM-49分子筛的CTAB修饰及在苯甲醚酰基化反应中的应用

芳香族化合物的Friedel-Crafts酰基化反应是制备芳香酮的一类重要反应,传统的Lewis酸(如AlCl3)和质子酸(如H2SO4)催化剂易制备,价格便宜,但存在对环境污染严重、与产物难分离等问题.因此,近年来研究者一直致力于环境友好催化剂的研发,其中分子筛因选择性好、与产物易分离、可再生和无污染等优点而日益受到人们的重视,尤其是MWW分子筛,由于具有较多的外表面酸性位,而在酰基化反应中表现出良好的抗积碳性能.本课题组曾讨论了对一系列不同模板剂(六亚甲基亚胺, HMI)含量的MCM-49分子筛进行NaOH与十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)共处理的情况,而本文重点考察的是只用CTAB处理不同HMI含量的MCM-49分子筛时,其结构与酸性会如何变化,改性前后样品的结构与酸性借助XRD, N2吸脱附等温线测试,29Si与27Al MAS NMR, NH3-TPD, Py-IR与漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(DRIFTS)等技术进行表征.另外,将一系列样品用于催化苯甲醚(AN)与乙酸酐(AA)的酰基化反应,考察CTAB处理对MCM-49分子筛催化性能的影响.将含模板剂HMI的MCM-49分子筛原粉在不同温度(250,350,450或550°C)下焙烧,得到一系列不同孔道系统内保留HMI的样品,随后采用CTAB溶液(0.27 mol/L)对其在70°C下进行后处理1 h.结构表征的结果表明,在脱除模板剂HMI及CTAB处理的过程中,分子筛骨架结构基本未被破坏,同时, CTAB处理不能向分子筛中引入任何形式的介孔,无论是晶内介孔还是晶间介孔.在CTAB处理时,可以清除分子筛中部分无定形物种,尤其是无定形Al物种,同时也可能发生部分非骨架Al原子重新进入分子筛骨架的情况,造成骨架铝的比例相对提高.根据29Si与27Al MAS NMR结果可以推断,进入分子筛骨架的Al原子可能会取代T3位置上的Si原子,亦或直接进入T2或T3位置缺陷位.酸性表征的结果表明, CTAB修饰后样品Br?nsted酸量比HMCM-49明显提高,并随HMI含量的逐渐降低呈现先增加后降低的趋势,而Lewis酸量则相对于HMCM-49有所降低.将一系列CTAB修饰前后的MCM-49样品用于催化AN与AA的酰基化反应,反应条件为：压力1.0 MPa、温度110°C、总质量空速WHSV(AN+AA)为10.2 h?1及原料中AN与AA的摩尔比为5：1.反应数据表明,相对于HMCM-49样品, CTAB修饰后样品对应的AA转化率显著提高(初始转化率由51.4%最高增加至85.0%),并随CTAB处理过程中HMI含量的逐渐降低呈现先增加后降低的趋势,而产物选择性则基本没有变化.各样品的AA初始转化率与其Br?nsted酸量基本呈现正向关联.通过间二甲苯歧化反应预积碳堵塞超笼及碱性探针分子2,4-二甲基喹啉吸附覆盖表面半超笼的方法,研究CTAB修饰前后各样品的不同孔道系统对酰基化反应的催化贡献.结果表明,酰基化反应主要发生在MCM-49分子筛的表面半超笼,其次为超笼,正弦孔道的贡献很小.另外, CTAB修饰后样品催化活性的提高主要来自于不含HMI的孔道系统的贡献,进一步验证在CTAB处理过程中,改性作用主要发生在MCM-49分子筛中不含HMI的区域.结合表征和反应评价结果,提高酰基化反应活性需尽可能提高催化剂的Br?nsted酸量,这是分子筛催化剂今后改进的一个主要方向.     

Liquid phase acylation of 2-methylnaphthalene catalyzed by H-beta zeolite

Liquid phase Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) has been investigated over zeolite catalyst. The influence of zeolite structures, substituents on naphthalene, acylating agents and solvents on the acylation has been discussed. 2-Methyl-6-butyrylnaphthalene (2,6-BMN), a promising precursor of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (2,6-NDCA), has been synthesized by the acylation of 2-MN using butyric anhydride (BA) as an acylating agent and H-beta zeolite as a catalyst. The influence of the preparative methods and dosage of H-beta zeolite, the molar ratio of reactants, the reaction temperature and reaction time on the catalytic butyrylation was also studied. The H-beta zeolite exchanged for four times and calcined at 550 °C possessed relatively better catalytic performance. Under the optimized condition, the conversion of BA reached 78.3% and the selectivity for 2,6-BMN was 53.1%.     

Highly active and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for acylation of anisole

In the present study, non-conventional solid acid catalysts such as NaY, metal ion exchanged zeolite NaY (Zn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Ce³⁺, La³⁺ and Nd³⁺), H-mordenite, H-β and HZSM-5 were used in order to overcome the disadvantages of conventional Friedel-Crafts catalysts for the acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride. Among the various zeolites studied, the HY zeolite shows an intermediate activity. Zeolite containing transition metal ions (Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺) are less active and zeolite NaY is nearly inactive. The catalysts exhibit the activity in the order H-β>transition metal ions (Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺)>HY>NaY zeolite. The highest catalytic activity of H-β could be due to its larger pore size. The type of acidity and the acid strength in zeolite Y were determined by FTIR and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies on the pyridine adsorbed catalysts. The correlation of catalytic activity with acidity reveals that Brönsted acid sites in zeolite promote the acylation of anisole.

Regioselective acylation of resveratrol catalyzed by lipase under microwave

The enzymatic regioselective acylation of resveratrol was achieved in organic solvents catalyzed by the lipase from Candida sp. 99–125 (CSL) under microwave irradiation. Influences of various reaction conditions have been studied. After selecting the optimum conditions [MTBE (20?ml, a_w?=?0.38), resveratrol (0.1?mmol), vinyl acetate (1.0?mmol) and CSL (100.0?mg) under microwave irradiation (35°C, 400 W)], CSL exhibited a satisfied enzyme activity (281?±?11?μmol/g/h) and yield of 75% for 4′-O-acetyl- resveratrol could be obtained in about 4?h when performing the reaction on a 25-fold-larger scale.

Enantioselective acylation of rac-2-phenylcycloalkanamines catalyzed by lipases

The kinetic resolution of some 2-phenylcycloalkanamines was performed by means of aminolysis reactions catalyzed by lipases, with Kazlauskas’ rule being obeyed in all cases. The size of the ring and the stereochemistry of the stereogenic centers of the amines had a strong influence on both the enantiomeric ratio and the reaction rate of these aminolysis processes. Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) showed excellent enantioselectivities toward trans-2-phenylcyclohexanamine in a variety of reaction conditions (E >150), whereas lipase A from C. antarctica (CAL-A) was the best catalyst for the acylation of cis-2-phenylcyclohexanamine (E = 34) and trans-2-phenylcyclopropanamine (E = 9).     

Mechanistic proposal for the zeolite catalyzed methylation of aromatic compounds

Alkylation and methylation reactions are important reactions in petrochemical production and form part of the reaction mechanism of many hydrocarbon transformation processes. Here, a new reaction mechanism is explored for the zeolite catalyzed methylation of arenes using quantum chemical calculations. It is proposed that the most substituted methylbenzenes, which will reside predominantly on the protonated form when adsorbed in a zeolite, can react directly with a neutral methanol molecule in the vicinity, thereby initiating the methylation reaction without having to return a proton to the zeolite surface. The calculated barriers are quite low, indicating that the suggested mechanism is plausible. This route might explain how the most substituted methylbenzenes can function as efficient reaction intermediates in the methanol to hydrocarbons reaction without themselves acting as catalyst poisons as a consequence of their high proton affinities.

Palladium complex catalyzed acylation of allylic esters with acylstannanes: complementary method to the acylation with acylsilanes

Palladium-catalyzed acylation of allylic trifluoroacetates (2) using acylstannanes (1) is reported. The reaction serves as a complementary method to the previously reported acylation with acylsilane (4). In particular, the reaction is profitable in the acylation of unsubstituted allyl trifluoroacetate (2a) and benzoylation of allylic trifluoroacetates to afford synthetically useful beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones (3) in good yields without undesirable isomerizations.     

Palladium complex catalyzed acylation of allylic esters with acylsilanes.

Acylation of allylic esters (2) with acylsilanes (1) in the presence of a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of a palladium complex is reported. The reaction proceeds selectively to afford beta,gamma-unsaturated ketones (3) in high yields. [Pd(eta3-C6H5CH=CHCH2)(CF3COO)]2 (4a) showed the best catalytic activity. After the reaction, formation of CF3COOSiMe3 (5a) was confirmed by 29Si NMR measurement of the resulting reaction mixture, indicating the trimethylsilyl moiety effectively traps the CF3COO leaving group from 2. The leaving group of the allylic esters affects the reaction considerably: allylic trifluoroacetate gave the best result, while the corresponding acetates and trichloroacetates did not afford any acylation products at all. Stoichiometric reaction of 4a with 1 gave acylation product 3 with a formation of 5a and Pd(0), whereas no acylation reaction took place with the corresponding acetate complex [Pd(eta3-C6H5CH=CHCH2)(CH3COO)]2 (4b). A DFT calculation suggests that interaction of high-lying HOMO of 1 and low-lying LUMO of eta3-allylpalladium trifluoroacetate intermediate 4 would be indispensable in the catalytic cycle.     

Regioselectivity in acylation of oligosaccharides catalyzed by the metalloprotease thermolysin

Investigation of the acylation scope of carbohydrates by metalloprotease thermolysin immobilized on Celite as biocatalyst has been carried out. The reactions were performed in DMSO, a good solvent for carbohydrates, where the enzyme has previously shown its activity in transesterifications of sucrose, maltose and maltose-containing oligosaccharides. Surprisingly, no reaction was observed for glucose or the glucose-containing disaccharides, trehalose and lactose. In contrast, laurate monoesters of several sucrose-containing tri- and tetrasaccharides were synthetized through a one step transesterification using vinyl laurate as the acylating agent. Enzyme regioselectivity was accurately determined by HPLC/MS and the structure of the main regioisomers was established by a combination of NMR experiments. The preferred position of acylation in all cases was the 2-OH of the α-d-glucopyranose moiety linked 1→2 to the β-d-fructofuranose unit. These results correlate with the regioselectivity observed in the case of the disaccharide sucrose. A general carbohydrate binding motif for catalysis by thermolysin is proposed.     

Enantioselective acylation of secondary alcohols catalyzed by chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes

[reaction: see text] The synthetic utility of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes, which have been used mainly in transition metal-catalyzed reactions as a ligand, was demonstrated by the enantioselective acylation of secondary alcohols.     

Diastereoselective and enantioselective alkaline-hydrolysis of 2-aryl-1-cyclohexyl acetate: a CAL-B catalyzed deacylation/acylation tandem process

Candida antarctica lipase proved to be a particularly efficient lipase for the resolution of racemic 2-arylcyclohexyl acetate in hydrolysis reaction with Na₂CO₃ in an organic medium. The (1R,2S)-trans-2-arylcyclohexanols 2a–2d were obtained with high ee values (up to >99%) and the selectivity reached E > 200. The influence of the enol ester and the solvent on (±)-trans-2-arylcyclohexanol in the CAL-B catalyzed acylation was also studied and compared with the deacylation. The CAL-B exhibits a better affinity for the alkaline hydrolysis reaction compared with acylation with the enol esters in the same organic solvents. The best conditions were applied to resolve a stereoisomeric mixture cis/trans-2-phenyl-1-cyclohexanol and its corresponding acetate by acylation and deacylation. The obtained results show a highly enantio- and diastereoselectivity of the CAL-B during the acylation and the deacylation in favor of the trans-(R)-enantiomer product. The resolution of a mixture of cis/trans-2-arylcyclohexanols was an easy, convenient approach to provide only one stereoisomer of a mixture of four with high enantiomeric excess.     

Advances in liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics catalyzed by heterogeneous solids

In the last few decades, significant improvements toward the development of environmentally benign processes have been achieved in the liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions. Many efforts have been devoted to the research on solid catalysts adequate to substitute homogeneous protonic acids or Lewis acids as traditionally employed catalysts in the acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts acylation processes. This short article describes the recent developments on catalysis by gallium (Ga), indium (In) and thallium (Tl) based novel heterogeneous solids for the liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics by acyl halide. The above heterogeneous catalysts are efficient for Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction and exhibited superior activity than the traditionally employed strongly acidic solid catalysts. Unlike conventional acidic catalyst, the acylation activity of Ga, In and Tl based solids, additionally having redox functions, does not depend solely on their acidic properties, even present. These solids in their non-acidic or basic form also show high acylation activity. Based on the catalytic results over these novel solids a plausible reaction mechanism for the acylation is proposed.Dedicated to Professor Seitaro Namba on the occasion of his 64th birthday.

An expedient procedure for the acylation of alcohols, phenols, and thiophenols using catalytic amount of Zn(OTf)₂ is described. This procedure is highly suitable for industrial application due to use of less toxic metal as a part of catalyst, short reaction time at ambient temperature, without any racemization of chiral alcohols.     

Trinuclear tin salicylaldoximate cluster‐catalyzed selective acylation of alcohols

The reactivity and catalytic potential of the tin salicylaldoximate cluster [(Me₂Sn)₂(Me₂SnO)(OCH₃) (HONZO)(ONZO)] ( 1 ), with HONZOH = o‐HON?CH? C₆H₄OH, on the acylation reaction of various alcohols with ethyl acetate is reported. The catalyst is active toward primary and unhindered secondary alcohols, but inefficient toward tertiary and secondary bulky alcohols and phenols. A possible mechanism for the transesterification reaction catalyzed by 1 , accounting for the influence of steric factors, is proposed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
