SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONAL MACROMOLECULE INTERMEDIATE THROUGH ACYLATION CATALYZED BY [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 IONIC LIQUID

Acylation reaction of anthracene with oxalyl chloride in the presence of [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid has been investigated. Pure 1,2-aceanthryenedione, which is used as intermediate of functional aromatic polymer material, was obtained by recrystalling the reaction mixture with aether and was determined by GC/MS, 1↑HNMR and FTIR analysis. The influences of various parameters, such as the contents of AlCl3 in [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, the amount of acylation agent, amount of [Emim]Cl-AlCl3, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. The optimum conditions were as follows： the molar fraction of AlCl3 in ionic liquid [x（AlCl3）] being 0.67, molar ratio of ionic liquid to anthracene being 2：1, molar ratio of oxalyl chloride to anthracene being 2：1, reaction temperature being 40℃ and reaction time being 6h. Under above conditions, the yield and selectivity of 1,2-aceanthrylenedione can reach 91.5% and 98.3% respectively. Further more, [Emim]Cl-AlCl3 ionic liquid, compared with metal halides such as AlCl3, was found to catalyze the reaction as a novel environmental friendly catalyst and solvent and can be reused.

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen in non-activated aromatic ring,a very rare phenomenon in organic chemistry,is found in ionic liquids containing Cl^- as anion under mild reaction conditions.The reaction may be carried out by the addition of the halogen-bonding adduct（Br₂Cl^-） as nucleophile to aromatic ring carbon atom,leading to the formation of the nucleophilic substitution product.     

Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones with Potassium Borohydride as Reductant

A series of aldehydes and ketones were reduced by potassium borohydride in an ionic liquid/water ([bmim]PF6/H2O) biphasic system to afford corresponding alcohol with high purity in excellent yields. The ionic liquid/water biphasic system could promote the chemoselectivity and the substituents such as nitro group and chlorine remained intact. Aromatic ketones were not as active as aromatic aldhydes and cyclic ketones owing to their higher steric hindrance. The ionic liquid could be recycled and reused. This protocol has notable advantages of no need of phase transfer catalyst and organic solvents, mild conditions, simple operation, short reaction time, ease work-up, high yields and recycling of the ionic liquid.

Higher yields were obtained in the presence of [Hebim]BF4 in comparison with other imidazolium ionic liquids because of the good solubility of the aromatic alcohols and aromatic carboxylic acids in [Hebim]BF4. The product could be separated conveniently from the reaction system, and the ionic liquid could be easily reused after removal of water under vacuum. After 10 times reuse, the selectivity of the ester was still 100%.

Selective hydrogenation of aromatic compounds using modified iridium nanoparticles

Till now, Ionic liquid‐stabilized metal nanoparticles were investigated as catalytic materials, mostly in the hydrogenation of simple substrates like olefins or arenes. The adjustable hydrogenation products of aromatic compounds, including quinoline and relevant compounds, aromatic nitro compounds, aromatic ketones as well as aromatic aldehydes, are always of special interest, since they provide more choices for additional derivatization. Iridium nanoparticles (Ir NPs) were synthesized by the H₂ reduction in imidazolium ionic liquid. TEM indicated that the Ir NPs is worm‐like shape with the diameter around 12.2 nm and IR confirmed the modification of phosphine‐functionalized ionic liquids (PFILs) to the Ir NPs. With the variation of the modifier, solvent and reaction temperature, substrate like quinoline and relevant compounds, aromatic nitro compounds, aromatic ketones as well as aromatic aldehydes could be hydrogenated by Ir NPs with interesting adjustable catalytic activity and chemoselectivity. Ir NPs modified by PFILs are simple and efficient catalysts in challenging chemoselective hydrogenation of quinoline and relevant compounds, aromatic nitro compounds, aromatic ketones as well as aromatic aldehydes. The activity and chemoselectivity of the Ir NPs could be obviously impacted or adjusted by altering the modifier, solvent and reaction temperature.

Solid-phase reactions of aromatic amines with carboxylic acids under conditions of shear deformation and high pressure

Solid mixtures of carboxylic acids and aromatic amines react under shear deformation at high pressure (to 8 GPa) for form amides, in the case of ortho-phenylenediamine-substituted benzimidazoles are formed. Under these conditions the conversion rates are hundreds of thousands of times higher than when the same processes are carried out in liquid phase. The cyclization reaction is accelerated to a lesser degree than the reaction of formation of the corresponding amide. The increase of the length of the carboxylic acid radical prevents the cyclization reaction.N. D. Zelinskii Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117913 Moscow.

Eco-Friendly Methodology for the Formation of Aromatic Carbon–Heteroatom Bonds by Using Green Ionic Liquids

A new sustainable method is reported for the formation of aromatic carbon–heteroatom bonds under solvent-free and mild conditions (no co-oxidant, no strong acid and no toxic reagents) by using a new type of green ionic liquid. The bromination of methoxy arenes was chosen as a model reaction. The reaction methodology is based on only using natural sodium bromine, which is transformed into an electrophilic brominating reagent within an ionic liquid, easily prepared from the melted salt FeCl₃ hexahydrate. Bromination reactions with this in-situ-generated reagent gave good yields and excellent regioselectivity under simple and environmentally friendly conditions. To understand the unusual bromine polarity reversal of sodium bromine without any strong oxidant, the molecular structure of the reaction medium was characterised by Raman and direct infusion electrospray ionisation mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS). An extensive computational investigation using density functional theory methods was performed to describe a mechanism that suggests indirect oxidation of Br⁻ through new iron adducts. The versatility of the methodology was successively applied to nitration and thiocyanation of methoxy arenes using KNO₃ and KSCN in melted hexahydrated FeCl₃.
