An efficient one-pot synthesis of anthraquinone derivatives catalyzed by alum in aqueous media

Abstract

Alum (KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O) performs as a novel catalyst for the synthesis of anthraquinone derivatives from phthalic anhydride and substituted benzenes in good to excellent yields (70–96%) using water as a solvent at ambient temperature. Several solvents were examined for this reaction; however, in terms of reaction yield and time, water was found to be the optimum solvent. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are an inexpensive and easily available catalyst, a simple procedure, mild conditions, and much faster (60–120 min) reactions.

A convenient synthesis of bisamide from aldehyde and amide with BF₃ etherate as catalyst was reported. Both aryl and aliphatic bisamides could be prepared with this procedure in high yield at room temperature and the catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol % was achieved. Fine-tuned solvent was utilized for both rapid conversion and simple isolation. Two CB₂ receptor inverse agonists were synthesized with this protocol in high yield.     

Enantioselective Organocatalyzed Michael Addition of Isobutyraldehyde to Maleimides in Aqueous Media

Thiourea was introduced into (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as an organocatalyst to promote the reaction between isobutyraldehydes and maleimides. Enantioselective Michael addition reaction was carried out as an eco-friendly method using water as the solvent. As a result of the reaction between isobutyraldehyde and maleimide, ≥97% yield and 99% enantioselectivity were obtained at a low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol%. The solvent effect can be explained by theoretical calculations that indicate the participation of a transition state, in which the CF₃ substituent of the catalyst is a hydrogen bond activated by the surrounding water molecules. This discovery enabled the use of low catalyst loading in the organic reactions of chiral substances for pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, a solvent effect for Michael reaction of the organocatalysts was proposed, and the organic reaction mechanisms were determined through quantum calculations.

LiAlH4: From Stoichiometric Reduction to Imine Hydrogenation Catalysis

Imine‐to‐amine conversion with catalytic instead of stoichiometric quantities of LiAlH₄ is demonstrated (85 °C, catalyst loading≥2.5 mol %, pressure≥1 bar). The effects of temperature, pressure, solvent, and catalyst modifications, as well as the substrate scope are discussed. Experimental investigations and preliminary DFT calculations suggest that the catalytically active species is generated in situ: LiAlH₄+Ph(H)C=NtBu→LiAlH₂[N(tBu)CH₂Ph]₂. A cooperative mechanism in which Li and Al both play a prominent role is proposed.     

Factorial design evaluation of the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction using a magnetically recoverable palladium catalyst

A magnetically recoverable catalyst [Fe₃O₄@SiO₂-AEAPTMS-Pd(II)] was prepared, fully characterized and had its catalytic activity evaluated on the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction under microwave irradiation. The reaction conditions for the synthesis of biaryl compounds was optimized in two stages - an initial fractional design 2⁴, in which the parameters reaction time, temperature, solvent and catalyst loading were evaluated, followed by a Doehlert design. The factorial design proved to be a viable approach for obtaining the optimal reaction conditions based on a relatively small number of experiments. Additionally, the biaryl derivatives synthesized by this method were obtained with good to excellent yields (71–96%) and the recovery and reuse of the palladium catalyst was also evaluated.     

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols over supported Ag–Cu catalysts

Hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol has significant scientific importance and commercial interest due to the huge surplus of glycerol and the various application of propanediols. A series of supported Ag–Cu catalysts synthesized by impregnation method were studied for hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols. The catalysts were characterized by H₂-TPR, NH₃-TPD, XRD, BET, N₂O chemisorption, TG, ICP and SEM. It was observed that the loading of 5% Ag–Cu-based catalysts facilitated the reduction, surface acidity and dispersion of the Cu particles, which improved the conversion of glycerol and promoted the generation of propanediols. It was also found that when loading Ag and Cu simultaneously on Al₂O₃, the catalyst had a better performance for the reaction because of the higher acidity, dispersion and surface area of the Cu species on the catalyst surface. In addition, effects of metal concentrations, metal impregnation sequence, reaction temperature, reaction pressure, reaction time, solvent and pH value of the solution on glycerol hydrogenolysis together with the recyclability of catalyst were investigated in detail. The optimal 5Ag–15Cu/Al₂O₃ achieved 66.4% glycerol conversion with 68.2% 1,2-propanediol and 3.1% 1,3-propanediol selectivity at 200 °C under 3.5 MPa in ethanol for 8 h.     

Efficient and versatile catalysis for β-alkylation of secondary alcohols through hydrogen auto transfer process with newly designed ruthenium(II) complexes containing ON donor aldazine ligands

A new series of ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes, [RuCl(CO)(EPh₃)₂(L_1-2)] (1–4) (E = P or As; H₂L₁ = salicylaldazine, H₂L₂ = 2-hydroxynaphthaldazine), have been assembled from ruthenium(II) precursors [RuHCl(CO)(EPh₃)₃] and bidentate ON donor Schiff base ligands (H₂L_1-2). Both ligands and their new ruthenium(II) complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) as well as ESI mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of H₂L₁ and 1 have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Based on the above studies, an octahedral coordination geometry around the metal center has been proposed for 1–4. To investigate the catalytic effectiveness of 1–4, the complexes have been used as catalysts in β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols and synthesis of quinolines. The effect of solvent, time, base, catalyst loading, and substituent of the ligand moiety on the reaction was studied. Notably, 1 was a more efficient catalyst toward alkylation of a wide range of alcohols and quinolines synthesis. The reusability of the catalyst was checked and the results showed up to six catalytic runs without significant loss of activity.     

Modified palladium-catalyzed regioselective ortho-arylation of sp C-H bond substrates with a low catalyst loading

A novel and generally applicable system for ortho-arylation of a broad range of sp² C-H bond substrates such as arylated benzoxazoles, acylated anilines, and pyridines has been developed. The arylation was performed in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) under air by using PdCl₂ as the catalyst with a low catalyst loading of 1 mol %. And it was found for the first time that the addition of weak base K₃PO₄ to the acidic solvent could remarkably enhance the reaction rate. The arylated products were isolated in moderate to good yields with high regioselectivity for the substrates containing a meta-substituent. This arylation is tolerant with various functional groups such as CH₃, CH₃O, CH₃CO, Br, and Cl.     

A green oxidation protocol for the conversion of secondary alcohols into ketones using heterogeneous nanocrystalline titanium (IV) oxide in polyethylene glycol

Abstract

The oxidation of secondary alcohols into corresponding ketones has been described using heterogeneous nanocrystalline TiO₂ as catalyst at a moderate temperature with quantitative yields. Use of H₂O₂ instead of O₂ (g) is the main feature of our methodology since maintenance of P_O2 (g) at elevated temperature is not easy. Besides, this catalyst could be recovered and reused for further reactions with consistent activity. Hence, our present protocol is economical and throughout clean consisting of green reagent, solvent, and catalyst.
