Sodium Borohydride–Mediated Transesterification

In the presence of sodium borohydride, esters react with alcohols with formation of the corresponding esters. The reaction is sensitive to the solvent, structure of the ester, and is often concurrent with reduction. Thioesters containing an ester group can be selectively cleaved by the reagent. Both esters and thioesters attached to solid support are resistant toward sodium borohydride. The in situ prepared sodium tetraalkoxyborate is introduced as an efficient reagent and catalyst for transesterification.     

Direct Reductive Amination of Aldehydes and Ketones with 2,4-Ionene-Based Borohydride Exchange Resin as a Novel Polymer-Supported Reducing Agent

Direct reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones were accomplished efficiently using high-capacity, ionene-based, polymer-supported borohydride reagent in isopropyl alcohol at reflux under neutral conditions. The reagent is easily prepared by mixing aqueous solution of 2,4-ionene bromide with an alkaline solution of sodium borohydride at room temperature. The generality of reaction was established using both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, ketones, and amines.     

Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate: A homogeneous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride

Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate was employed for the first time as homogeneous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate was not reduced by sodium borohydride under the experimental conditions and remains unchanged after the catalysis. Poisoning experiments with mercury and trimethylphosphite provide compelling evidence for the fact that ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate is indeed a homogenous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. Kinetics of the ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate catalyzed hydrolysis of sodium borohydride was studied depending on the catalyst concentration, substrate concentration, and temperature. The hydrogen generation was found to be first order with respect to both the substrate concentration and catalyst concentration. The activation parameters of this reaction were also determined from the evaluation of the kinetic data: activation energy; E_a = 58.2 ± 2.6 kJ mol⁻¹, the enthalpy of activation; ΔH^# = 55.7 ± 2.5 kJ mol⁻¹ and the entropy of activation ΔS^# = 118 ± 5 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate was found to be highly active catalyst providing 1200 turnovers over 180 min in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride before deactivation.     

The hydrodechlorination of chloroaromatic and unsaturated chloroaliphatic compounds using a nickel boride reagent

A nickel boride reagent, prepared in situ by the reaction of nickel chloride with sodium borohydride, has been used to hydrodechlorinate and hydrogenate chloroaromatic compounds. The same reagent can also dechlorinate chloro-olefinic compounds but chloroalkanes do not react. The reactions can be sustained by addition of hydrogen gas and the ratio of the aromatic to aliphatic hydrocarbons produced can be varied by addition of sodium hydroxide to the reaction mixture and by the duration of the reaction. The reactivity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), chlorobenzene and tetrachloroethylene have been studied. Capillary gas chromatography was used to follow the course of reactions and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) was used for product identification.

The Limit of Detection of a Reactant,in the Presence of Another,by Kinetic Analysis and Deviation-Pattern Recognition

Abstract

When a solution containing a single reactant is subjected to kinetic analysis with a reagent giving rise to a pseudo-first-order reaction, non-linear regression analysis of the concentrationtime data yields a random scatter of the residuals around the best fit to the pseudo-first-order equation. If the same equation is used when a second reactant is also present, systematic errors arise and yield a deviation plot having a characteristic shape. If the amplitude of that plot is substantially larger than the random error of measurement, the presence of the reactant can be detected, and its concentration can then be evaluated by non-linear regression onto the equation that takes its presence into account. The amplitude passes through a maximum as the relative concentration of the second reactant increases, or as the ratio of the rate constants increases. For any given ratio of concentrations, detection of the second reactant is impossible unless the ratio of the rate constants lies within a certain range, which will be governed by the data-acquisition schedule employed. For the particular schedule assumed here, examination of these dependences shows, for example, that it should be possible to detect the second reactant if its concentration is 2.5 per cent of that of the first reactant and if the ratio of the rate constants is between 7.1 and 21.7.     

Transport processes through track-etch membrane filters in a reagent delivery cell

A reagent delivery cell with a track-etch membrane filter for on-line dilution of concentrated salt solutions is described. The influence of several system parameters such as concentration of the stock solution, temperature, transmembrane pressure and the dependence on the diffusion coefficients of several salt components on the dilution was evaluated. As an application example, the use of the reagent delivery cell for on-line calibration of an atomic absorption spectrometer was studied. Fluxes through the membrane filter of 10 to 50 nL mm^–2 min^–1 with relative standard deviations of 0.8% within a day and 1.9% from day to day were achieved. The permeation experiments with the track-etch membrane filter for the dilution of aqueous solutions of several chlorides and sodium salts confirm a diffusion process. Flux rates can be estimated mathematically using Fick’s first law with an agreement between measured and calculated dilution factors within 86 to 113%.

Synthesis,characterization, and application of monodisperse gelatin-stabilized silver nanospheres in reduction of aromatic nitro compounds

Monodisperse colloidal silver nanospheres were synthesized by the reaction of silver nitrate, hydroxylammonium hydrosulphate (NH₂OH)₂ · H₂SO₄ and sodium hydroxide in the presence of gelatin as stabilizer. Colloidal nanospheres were characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and dynamic light scattering. X-ray diffraction data confirmed that the silver nanospheres were crystalline with face-centered-cubic structure. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed the formation of homogeneously distributed silver nanoparticles of spherical morphology and size of the nanoparticles was in the range of 0.7–5.2 nm. Silver nanospheres were stable for more than two months when stored at ambient temperature. Size and size distribution were studied by varying pH, reaction temperature, silver ion concentration in feed solution, concentration of reducing agent and concentration of the stabilizing agent. Catalytic activity of silver nanospheres was tested for the reduction reaction of nitro compounds in sodium borohydride solution. Monodisperse silver nanospheres showed excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. The reduction rate of aromatic nitro compounds had been observed to follow the sequence 4-nitrophenol > 2-nitrophenol > 3-nitrophenol.     

Influence of the Nature of Crosslinking Agent on the Oxidation Behavior of Crosslinked Polystyrene‐Supported Polyoxyethylene Bound Permanganate

Abstract

Polystyrene‐supported polyoxyethylene (PSPOE) bound permanganate with varying crosslinking agents have been prepared and used as a new class of recyclable oxidizing agents for low molecular weight alcohols and aldehydes. The effect of the nature of crosslinking agents on the oxidation reactions was studied in detail. The crosslinking agents used were ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), 1,4‐butanediol dimethacrylate (BDDMA), and 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDODA). Polymer supports were synthesized by free radical suspension polymerization. Chloromethylation was done using the Friedel‐Crafts reaction. A cyclic polyether type compound was developed by the reaction of functionlized resin with polyethylene glycol (PEG₆₀₀) and sodium. Polystyrene‐supported polyoxyethylene was equilibrated with potassium permanganate in benzene to give the oxidizing agent. The results reveal that the reactivity of HDODA‐crosslinked system shows higher reactivity than the BDDMA, and EGDMA‐crosslinked systems. This is due to higher flexibility of the HDODA‐crosslinked system compared to the BDDMA, and EGDMA‐crosslinked systems. The effect of solvent, temperature, and molar concentration of the reagent on oxidation were carried out using benzoin to benzil as the model reaction. For a less flexibile EGDMA‐crosslinked resin, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is the best solvent, for BDDMA‐crosslinked system dioxane and for the highly flexible HDODA‐crosslinked system CHCl₃ is found to be best. In all cases, the reactivity of the reagent increased with an increase in temperature and molar excess of the reagent.

The unstable sodium borohydride is stabilized on modified poly(4-vinylpyridinium), and it is used as an efficient and regenerable polymer-supported borohydride reagent for the reduction of a variety of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, α-diketones and acyloins, in good to excellent yields.     

Study on stable coatings for determination of lead by flow-injection hydride generation and in situ concentration in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Lead hydride was generated by flow-injection from 0.05 M oxalic acid sample solution by using 0.1 M HCl carrier solution and the reaction with 1.5% sodium borohydride in the presence of 2% potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) as a mild oxidizing agent. Pb was determined by in situ concentration in graphite furnace AAS. The hydride generation by flow-injection and trapping in the graphite tube coated with a highly stable trapping reagent (e.g. tungsten) allows automatic Pb determination. In a systematic investigation, the in situ concentration of Pb was studied in the temperature range 50–600° on graphite tubes coated with noble metals (Ir, Ir/Mg, Pd/Ir), and with W or Zr. The highest response was found on the Ir coatings at trapping temperatures of 200–300°, followed by the W and Zr coatings. The radiotracer ²¹⁰Pb was used to measure hydride generation (95%) and trapping efficiency (71%) on a W-coated tube. Signal stability and reproducibility was tested over 400 trapping and atomization cycles, and the better performance was found with the W and Zr coatings at a precision of 3%. Trapping temperatures above 450°C can lead to errors in absorbance values owing to an adsorptive “carry-over” effect. A characteristic mass of about 21 pg Pb for W-coated tube (283.3 nm) and a detection limit (3σ) of about 0.25 ng was obtained with a 0.5 ml sample loop. The problem with Pb hydride generation is the relatively high reagent blank (1.3 ng in 30 s trapping time) even using chemicals of the highest purity. The method has been tested by applying it to the determination of Pb in a sediment certified reference material.

Process for preparing Ezetimibe intermediate by an acid enhanced chemo- and enantioselective CBS catalyzed ketone reduction

The S alcohol in the benzylic position of compound 2, a key feature of a novel cholesterol lowering agent Ezetimibe, was introduced by the (R)-MeCBS catalyzed asymmetric carbonyl reduction of ketone 1 using borane tetrahydrofuran complex (BTHF) as the reducing agent. The chemo- and enantioselectivity was dramatically enhanced by using an acid as a scavenger of the stabilizer sodium borohydride present in the commercially supplied pure BTHF. The effect of the critical reaction parameters such as addition mode of reagent, temperature, acids as well as water content on the selectivity has been examined. This reaction has been successfully applied in the commercial process for the preparation of the key intermediate 2 for Ezetimibe.
