Silica-gel-confined ionic liquids: a new attempt for the development of supported nanoliquid catalysis

A new concept of designing and synthesizing highly dispersed ionic-liquid catalysts was developed through physical confinement or encapsulation of ionic liquids (with or without metal complex) in a silica-gel matrix through a sol-gel process. We studied ionic liquids such as EMImBF4, BuMImBF4, DMImBF4, CMImBF4, BuMImPF6, either with or without [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2] and [Rh(PPh3)3Cl], in a silica-gel matrix (E = ethyl, Bu = butyl M = methyl, D = decyl, C = cetyl and Im = imidazolium). The contents of ionic liquids and loadings of Pd or Rh were 8-53 wt % and 0.1 approximately 0.15 wt %, respectively. Analyses of FT-Raman spectra showed that abnormal Raman spectra of the confined ionic liquids were observed in comparison with the bulk and pure ionic liquids. EMImBF4 and BuMImBF4 ionic liquids could be completely washed out from the silica-gel matrix under vigorous reflux conditions, but ionic liquids with larger molecular size, for example, DMImBF4 or CMImBF4, could be confined into the silica-gel nanopores relatively firmly. These results suggested that the ionic liquids were physically confined or encapsulated into the silica gel. The N2 adsorption measurements indicated that the silica-gel skeleton was mesoporous with 50-110 A pore size after the BuMImBF4 ionic liquid was removed completely. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the silica-gel matrix was amorphous and non-uniformly mesoporous. Carbonylation of aniline and nitrobenzene for synthesis of diphenyl urea, carbonylation of aniline for synthesis of carbamates, and oxime transformation between cyclohexanone oxime and acetone were used as test reactions for these catalysts. Catalytic activities were remarkably enhanced with much lower amounts of ionic liquids needed with respect to bulk ionic-liquid catalysts or silica-supported ionic-liquid catalysts prepared with simple impregnation, in which the ionic liquid may be deposited as a thin layer on the support. Such unusual enhancement in catalytic activities may be attributed to the formation of nanoscale and high-concentration ionic liquids due to the confinement of the ionic liquid in silica gel; this results in unusual changes in the symmetry and coordination geometry of the ionic liquids.     

Ionic Liquid–Catalyzed Internal Redox Esterification Reaction

The internal redox esterification of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and alcohols was carried out using different ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts and reaction solvents. The basic ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([bmim]OAc), exhibited the best activity for this reaction. The influences of the amount of ionic liquid catalyst and reaction time on yield of saturated ester have been investigated. The results showed that ionic liquid anions have a crucial effect on the redox esterification of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and alcohols. The nucleophilic carbenes generated in situ from the ionic liquid cation were believed to be actual active species for this reactions.

A comparative study on absorption and selectivity of organic vapors by using ionic liquids based on imidazolium, quaternary ammonium, and guanidinium cations

A novel study on organic solute absorption from the vapor phase is reported. The organic solutes chosen for the absorption studies include 1,4-benzodioxane, biphenyl, xanthene, and menthol. A series of imidazolium, ammonium, and guanidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing several types of anions were used as absorbents. Absorption of water vapor was also studied along with the organic solutes. Absorption studies of each organic solute were performed by using a specially devised glass apparatus at 50 degrees C. It was observed that the rate of absorption increases with time and is faster in the case of 1,4-benzodioxane (24 h). The absorption process for each organic solute with different classes of ionic liquids was studied and the results were compared with each other. Absorption values of more than 25,000 ppm were observed in some ionic liquids. Distribution ratios of organic solutes in an ionic liquid and in the vapor phase were measured and the selectivity was evaluated by using the distribution ratio values. A remarkable selectivity was observed for some ionic liquids towards a specific organic solute. Importantly, it was observed that the selectivity remained constant, even though a mixture of solute was used for the absorption study. Desorption of organic vapors from ionic liquids was successfully carried out by applying a vacuum. Further, it was observed that the same ionic liquid can be repeatedly reused several times for absorption. These studies reveal that, in future, a task-specific ionic liquid can be prepared and used for specific solute capture from the vapor phase.

Two routes to 1,2-cyclohexanediol catalyzed by zeolites under solvent-free condition

Two routes to 1,2-cyclohexanediol were studied. Specifically: (a) the hydrolysis of cyclohexene oxide and (b) the direct dihydroxylation of cyclohexene with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Both reactions were carried out with zeolites as catalysts under solvent-free conditions, aiming to establish green routes for the synthesis of 1,2-cyclohexanediol. In the first route, H-Beta and H-ZSM-5 zeolites were used as catalysts, respectively. According to the results, H-ZSM-5 was a suitable catalyst for the hydrolysis of cyclohexene oxide. A 88.6 % yield of 1,2-cyclohexanediol could be obtained at a 96.2 % conversion of cyclohexene oxide under mild conditions, and the catalyst could be reused for three times. Compared with H-ZSM-5, H-Beta gave a much lower selectivity (63 %), although it was more active. In the second route, Ti-Beta zeolites with three different Ti loadings prepared via a simple two-step strategy were characterized and used. The results indicated that it was the framework Ti species which was responsible for the catalytic activity. The resultant Ti-Beta-3 % could give a 90.2 % cyclohexene conversion at a 66.2 % selectivity of 1,2-cyclohexanediol.     

Intermolecular hydroamination and hydroarylation reactions of alkenes in ionic liquids

Intermolecular hydroamination or hydroarylation reactions of norbornene and cyclohexadiene performed with catalytic amounts of Brönsted or Lewis acid in ionic liquids were found to provide higher selectivity and yields than those performed in classical organic solvents. The ionic liquid increases the acidity of the media and stabilizes ionic intermediates through the formation of supramolecular aggregates.     

Synthesis of porphyrin indolin-2-one conjugates via palladium-catalyzed amination reactions

New porphyrin indolin-2-one conjugates were synthesized via palladium-catalyzed amination reactions of iodinated and dibrominated indolin-2-one derivatives with (2-amino-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)nickel(II). The combination of palladium catalysts and the phosphine ligand dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos) is an effective methodology for catalyzing the coupling of 5-iodo-, 5,7-dibromo- and 4,6-dibromo-1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2-one with 2-aminoporphyrin to give the corresponding mono-(2-aminoporphyrinyl)- and di-(2-aminoporphyrinyl)-substituted indolin-2-ones in satisfactory yields under mild conditions. The mono brominated porphyrinic derivatives also underwent cross-coupling reactions under similar catalytic conditions. The studies also demonstrated that the course of the coupling process depends on factors, such as the catalytic system, number and position of the halogen substituents and the heating condition. Insights into the reactivity trends of the 5-iodo; 4,6- and 5,7-dibrominated indolin-2-one derivatives was carried out using theoretical calculations performed using density-functional theory with the B3LYP functional.     

Novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquids and their use as dual solvent-catalysts

The reaction of triphenylphosphine or N-butylimidazole with cyclic sultones gives zwitterions that are subsequently converted into ionic liquids by reaction with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. The resulting ionic liquids have cations to which are tethered alkane sulfonic acid groups. These Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids are useful solvent/catalysts for several organic reactions, including Fischer esterification, alcohol dehydrodimerization and the pinacol rearrangement. The new ionic liquids combine the low volatility and ease of separation from product normally associated with solid acid catalysts, with the higher activity and yields normally found using conventional liquid acids.     

Chiral pool based synthesis of pyrrolidinium ionic liquids

The chirality was introduced using (l)-lactate and (l)-menthol derivatives. The resultant chiral compounds were characterized by both spectroscopy and polarimetry. We envision that these new chiral compounds can serve as effective reaction media and chiral catalysts for asymmetric reactions, which are presently being investigated in our lab.

A rationalization of the solvent effect on the Diels-Alder reaction in ionic liquids using multiparameter linear solvation energy relationships

The Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and three dienophiles (acrolein, methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile) having different hydrogen bond acceptor abilities has been carried out in several ionic liquids and molecular solvents in order to obtain information about the factors affecting reactivity and selectivity. The solvent effects on these reactions are examined using multiparameter linear solvation energy relationships. The collected data provide evidence that the solvent effects are a function of both the solvent and the solute. For a solvent effect to be seen, the solute must have a complimentary character; selectivities and rates are determined by the solvent hydrogen bond donation ability (alpha) in the reactions of acrolein and methyl acrylate, but not of acrylonitrile.
