RuCl3 anchored onto imine functionalized silica for the aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols under liquid phase catalysis

Abstract

RuCl₃ anchored onto imine functionalized silica has been developed as a heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes using molecular oxygen as an oxidant. SiO₂-RuCl₃ was found to be highly stable, passes hot filtration test successfully, and could be recycled several times without significant loss of activity. The SiO₂-RuCl₃ was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogavimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Micrographs (TEM), X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD), and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Analysis (AAS).     

Brønsted acidic ionic liquid [HMIm]BF4 promoted simple and efficient one-pot green synthesis of isoxazolyl-1,3-benzoxazines at ambient temperature

Abstract

Brønsted acidic ionic liquid [HMIm]BF₄ has been used as a nonvolatile, ecofriendly solvent, and catalytic medium for the one-pot green synthesis of isoxazolyl-1,3-benzoxazines. The reaction afforded excellent yield in short reaction time, and avoids multistep synthesis. The easy of recyclability of the IL makes the reaction economically and potentially viable for commercial applications.     

A green synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones and 1,5-benzodiazepines catalyzed by Sn(HPO4)2.H2O nanodisks under solvent-free condition at room temperature

Abstract

Heterogeneous Tin (IV) hydrogen phosphate nanodisks [Sn(HPO4)2.H2O] efficiently catalyzed the one-pot three component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, β-ketoesters and urea to produce 3,4–dihydropyrimidin-2-ones under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. Also, the catalyst is equally applicable for the preparation of 1,5–benzodiazepines under the same reaction conditions. The optimum load of the catalyst required is 10 mole% and reusable. Hence, the process is green.

PEG-600-mediated,green and efficient,tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4- ones

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated, green and efficient, tandem syntheses of N-subtituted-2-styrylquinazolinones are being reported. Condensation of anthranilamide (1) with acetic anhydride in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1 hr gave 2-methyl-3H-quinazoline-4-one (2). Treatment of 2 with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 2–3 hr, gave 2-styrylquinazolinone-4-ones (3) in excellent yields. Treatment of 3 (a–d) either with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), diethyl sulfate (DES), or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in N-substituted-2-styrylquinazolin-4-ones 5 (a–l). In an alternative approach, reaction of 4 (a–c) with benzaldehydes in PEG-600, at 100°C for 1–2 hr, without using any base, followed by simple processing resulted in 5 (a–l). 4 (a–c) were prepared by treatment of 2 with either DMS, DES, or with Ph-CH₂-Cl, individually, in the presence of PEG-600 as reaction medium, at 100°C for 1–2 hr without using any base. Both the sequence of reactions, 1 2 3 5 or 1 2 4 5 could be carried out in tandem in an efficient manner in PEG-600 without the isolation of any intermediates. The structures of all the new compounds synthesized in this work have been established on the basis of their spectroscopic data and analytical data.

Untersuchungen der Hydroxylammonium-Fluorozirconate(IV)

Summary Hydroxylammonium fluorozirconates have been investigated. Two new microcristalline phases have been isolated from aqueous solutions: (NH₃OH)₂ZrF₆ (1) and (NH₃OH)₃ZrF₇ (2). The crystals were prepared by slow evaporation of the solution of NH₂OH, Zr, and HF. Different compositions of the crystals were achieved by varying the molar ratios of the components. They were characterized by thermal analysis, vibrational spectroscopy, and structure (single crystal x-ray methods). (NH₃OH)₂ZrF₆ (1) crystallizes triclinic, P (No.: 2),a=7.400(2),b=7.609(2),c=7.887(2) Å, =57.29(3)°, =62.16(3)°, =67.83(2)°. (NH₃OH)₃ZrF₇ (2) crystallizes triclinic, P (No.: 2),a=7.128(1),b=7.989(1),c=8.888(1) Å, =109.72(1)°, =91.01(1)°, =104.27(1)°.
