Cu(NO3)2 · 3 H2O as an Efficient Reagent for the Chemoselective Trimethylsilylation of Primary Alcohols and Oxidation of Trimethylsilyl Ethers

Abstract

Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3 H₂O can be used as an efficient reagent for the chemoselective trimethylsilylation of primary benzylic and aliphatic alcohols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). This reagent is also able to oxidize the obtained trimethylsilyl ethers to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of wet SiO₂ and KBr. In this study, all reactions are performed in the absence of a solvent and good-to-high yields are obtained.     

Solvent-free oxidation of organic compounds with Fe(NO3)3.9H2O catalyzed by NaHSO4.H2O

The oxidation of alcohols, methoxymethyl ethers, acetals and ketals to their corresponding carbonyl compounds with Fe(NO₃)₃.9H₂O is efficiently promoted in the presence of NaHSO₄.H₂O.

Cerium Polyoxometalate as a Reusable Catalyst for Acetylation and Formylation of Alcohols

Summary. Efficient esterification of primary and sterically-hindered secondary or tertiary alcohols with acetic anhydride was achieved in the presence of ammonium decatungestocerate(IV) icosahydrate, (NH₄)₈[CeW₁₀O₃₆]·20H₂O, as catalyst in high yields. Primary and secondary alcohols were also converted to their corresponding acetates and formates with acetic acid and ethyl formate in the presence of this catalyst. Easy work-up, non-toxicity, reusability, and stability of the catalyst are noteworthy advantages of this method.     

Impregnated copper on Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>: an efficient magnetically separable nanocatalyst for rapid and selective acylation of amines

The present paper describes the synthesis of N-arylacetamides through acetylation of arylamines with Ac₂O in the presence of magnetically recyclable Fe₃O₄/Cu NPs. All reactions were carried out efficiently in H₂O within 2–10 min to give the products in 89–95% yields. Selective acetylation of amines versus alcohols was carried out successfully with this acetylating system. In addition, acetylation of amines and phenols was taken place with the same reactivity. Reusability of the nanocatalyst was examined 5 times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Studies on the thermal decomposition of Cu(NO3)2 · 3 H2O

The thermal decomposition of Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3 H₂o was studied using DTA, DTG, TG and X-ray techniques. The three endothermic changes were analyzed and the intermediate compound formed was confirmed as monoclinic basic copper nitrate, Cu(NO₃)₂· · 3 Cu(OH)₂. With a hot-plate microscope the melting point of Cu(NO₃)₂ · 2 H₂O was determined as 391 K.     

Aerobic oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds mediated by poly(ethylene glycol)-supported TEMPO radicals

Two poly(ethylene glycol)-supported TEMPO (PEG-TEMPO) has been successfully applied as soluble, recyclable catalysts in the chemoselective oxidation of primary and benzylic alcohols with molecular oxygen in the presence of Co(NO₃)₂ and Mn(NO₃)₂ as co-catalysts (Minisci's conditions). Under those conditions, secondary alcohols are also oxidized to ketones, although usually in lower yields. The insertion of a spacer between the PEG moiety and TEMPO has beneficial effects on both the activity and ease of recovery of the supported catalyst.     

无溶剂中性条件下分子I2或Fe(NO3)3·9H2O/NaI原位生成的I2催化醇与甲酸甲酰化反应

 Different alcohols were formylated by formic acid under solvent-free conditions in the presence of iodine as the catalyst with good-to-high yields at room temperature. I₂ generated in situ from Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O/NaI also catalyzed the formylation of the alcohols under solvent-free conditions. This gives a green and efficient reaction at room temperature, in which the use of toxic and corrosive molecular I₂ is avoided.

Synthesis and X-Ray Structure of New Copper(II) Nitrates: Cu(NO3)2 · H2O and β-modification of Cu(NO3)2

Blue crystals of a Cu(NO₃)₂ · H₂O were synthesized by interaction of CuO with boiling 100% HNO₃. Stable β-Cu(NO₃)₂ modification was obtained by the sublimation of copper(II) nitrate in evacuated ampoule over the 150→100°C temperature gradient for 24 hr. According to X-Ray single crystal analysis Cu(NO₃)₂ · H₂O is monoclinic with a = 6.377(1), b = 8.548(1), c = 9.769(1) Å, β = 100.41(1)°, Z = 4, and space group P2₁/c. β-modification Cu(NO₃)₂ is orthorhombic with a = 14.161(5), b = 7.516(3), c = 12.886(2) Å, Z = 12, and space group Pbcn. In the both structures Cu atoms are square coordinated by 4 O atoms at the distances ranging from 1.92 to 2.02 Å. In each structure there are also additional Cu? O bonds with the distance of 2.33 or 2.35 Å and some weaker ones with the distances in the range of 2.65–2.72 Å. In the Cu(NO₃)₂ · H₂O structure the [CuO₄] squares are connected by the bridging NO₃ groups into zigzag chains, which are linked into layers by the longer Cu? O bonds. In the β-Cu(NO₃)₂ structure the [CuO₄] fragments of two types are joined by the bridging NO₃ groups in a three-dimensional framework. Some correlations were found between N? O distances and coordination functions of O atoms.

Synthesis and application of a new copper(II) complex containing oflx and leof

Two new copper(II) complexes of [Cu(Ofloxacin)(phen)(H₂O)] · (NO₃) · 2H₂O and [Cu(Levofloxacin)(phen)(H₂O)] · (NO₃) · 2H₂O were obtained and their structures were studies. Both ligands and complexes were assayed against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by the in vitro doubling dilutions method. The inhibitory effect of the ligands and complexes on the leukemia HL-60 cell line were measured with the MTT assay method and the liver cancer HePG-2 cell line measured by the SRB method. The results indicated that the complexes have stronger inhibitory effect on HL-60 than on HePG-2. The complex [Cu(Levofloxacin)(phen)(H₂O)] · (NO₃) · 2H₂O (I) has stronger effect on HL-60 than the complex (Cu(Ofloxacin)(phen)(H₂O)] · (NO₃) · 2H₂O (II). The text was submitted by the authors in English.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Alkali Metal and Ammonium Nitratocuprates(II): M3[Cu(NO3)4](NO3) (M = K,NH4, Rb) and Cs2[Cu(NO3)4]

Blue crystals of metal nitratocuprates(II), M₃[Cu(NO₃)₄](NO₃) (M = K ( I ), NH₄ ( II ), Rb ( III )) and Cs₂[Cu(NO₃)₄] ( IV ) were synthesized from Cu(NO₃)₂ · 3 H₂O and MNO₃ by heating at 100–140 °C during 3–12 h. X-ray single crystal structures for isotypic I and II reveal the presence of the [Cu(NO₃)₄]^2– and NO₃^– anions and M⁺ cations. Structure IV contains [Cu(NO₃)₄]^2– and Cs⁺. In structures I , II , and IV , Cu atoms have a square-planar coordination [CuO₄] with short Cu–O distances of 1.92–2.00 Å, the oxygen atoms belonging to four different NO₃ groups. Each coordinated NO₃ group is a nonsymmetrical bidentate ligand with the second, longer Cu–O distance from 2.38 to 2.74 Å. Rubidium derivative III was shown to be isotypic to I on the basis of unit cell dimensions and symmetry. Eight-coordinate metal(II) environment in tetranitrates is compared for transition metals with different electronic configurations.     

Oxidation of primary and secondary alkanols with the CeIII-LiBr-H2O2 system

Action of a novel oxidation system, Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O (cat.)-LiBr (cat.)-H₂O₂ (stoichiometric oxidant) on primary aliphatic C₆–C₉ alcohols gives selectively esters, whereas secondary aliphatic C₅–C₉ alcohols are converted into ketones. Selectivity of these transformations is provided by slow addition of H₂O₂ to the other reactants.     

Na4H3[SiW9Al3(H2O)3O37]·12H2O/H2O: a new system for selective oxidation of alcohols with H2O2 as oxidant

This work describes a catalytic system consisting of both Na₄H₃[SiW₉Al₃(H₂O)₃O₃₇]·12H₂O(SiW₉Al₃) and water as solvents (a small quantity of organic solvents were used as co-solvent for a few substrates) that can be good for selective oxidation of alcohols to ketones (aldehydes) using 30% H₂O₂ without any phase-transfer catalyst under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system allows easy product/catalyst separation. Under the given conditions, the secondary hydroxyl group was highly chemoselectively oxidized to the corresponding ketones in good yields in the presence of primary hydroxyl group within the same molecule, and hydroxides are selectively oxidized even in the presence of alkene. Benzylic alcohols were selectively oxidized to the corresponding benzaldehydes in good yields without over oxidation products in solvent-free conditions. Nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur-based moieties, at least for the cases where these atoms are not susceptible to oxidation, do not interfere with the catalytic alcohol oxidation.
