Efficient synthesis of polyethers from isosorbide by microwave-assisted phase transfer catalysis

Polyetherification of isosorbide with 1,8-dibromo or dimesyl octane was realized under phase transfer catalysis with increased efficiency when performed under microwave activation. In addition to rate increase in the reaction, microwave effects on polymer structures (as determined by MALDI-TOFMS) were observed. Polymers with higher molecular weights with the presence of ethylenic groups as chain terminations were thus obtained, unlike to conventional heating where shorter hydroxylated compounds were achieved.

The yields are dramatically improved compared to conventional heating under the same conditions, in spite of similar profiles of rising in temperature.

Determination of phenoxy herbicides in water samples using phase transfer microextraction with simultaneous derivatization followed by GC‐MS analysis

A sensitive and accurate method for the determination of two model phenoxy herbicides, 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy acetic acid and 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy propanoic acid, in water is explained. This method utilizes a simple phase transfer catalyst‐assisted microextraction with simultaneous derivatization. Factors affecting the performance of this method including pH of the aqueous matrix, temperature, extraction duration, type and amount of derivatization reagents, and type and amount of the phase transfer catalyst are examined. Derivatization and the use of phase transfer catalyst have proven to be especially vital for the resolution of the analytes and their sensitive determination, with an enrichment factor of 288‐fold for catalyzed over noncatalyzed procedure. Good linearity ranging from 0.1 to 80 μg L^?1 with correlation of determination (r²) between 0.9890 and 0.9945 were obtained. Previous reported detection limits are compared with our new current method. The low LOD for the two analytes (0.80 ng L^?1 for 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy propanoic acid and 3.04 ng L^?1 for 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy acetic acid) allow for the determination of low concentrations of these analytes in real samples. The absence of matrix effect was confirmed through relative recovery calculations. Application of the method to seawater and tap water samples was tested, but only 4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy propanoic acid at concentrations between 0.27 ± 0.01 and 0.84 ± 0.06 μg L^?1 was detected in seawater samples.     

Expanding the repertoire of cyclopropenium ion phase transfer catalysis: Benzylic fluorination

The application of cyclopropenium ion as a phase transfer catalyst for benzylic fluorination in high yields is reported. Integral to the mechanisms of these fluorination reactions was the role of in situ derived cyclopropenium fluoride complexes, the existence of which was supported by ¹H, ¹⁹F NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations were applied to gain insight into the mechanism of these reactions.     

Novel synthesis of polymeric phase transfer catalyst containing polar unit

Soluble polymeric phase transfer catalysts (PTCs) containing benzyltributylphosphonium chloride moieties and p-nitrophenoxy group or N,N-dimethylacrylamide as a polar unit were prepared via two-step reactions from polymers with chloromethyl group and polar units. These polymers were synthesized by copolymerization of p-chloromethylstyrene and the corresponding monomer or substitution of some parts of chloromethyl group with potassium p-nitrophenoxide. When the obtained polymers were added, the phase transfer catalyzed reaction of benzylchloride with solid potassium acetate to proceed smoothly. The catalytic activity was strongly affected by the content of phosphonium chloride and the varieties of comonomer unit in the polymeric PTC. The polymeric PTC containing N,N-dimethylacrylamide unit showed much higher catalytic activity than the corresponding low molecular weight PTC when the phase transfer catalyzed reaction was carried out in low polar solvent. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of metal-containing carbohydrate polymers employing crown ether phase transfer catalyzed interfacial condensation

Phase transfer catalyzed interfacial reaction of the polysaccharide dextran (C₆H₁₀O₅)_n with organotitanium and organotin dichlorides to form metal-containing carbohydrate polymers has been carried out in the presence of two bases, sodium hydroxide and triethylamine. Interfacial systems employing sodium hydroxide with a crown ether phase transfer catalyst (PTC) gave generally greater yields compared with the analogous systems without a PTC. The trend of maximum yield for triethylamine systems with organotin dichloride not containing a PTC was different from that observed for the sodium hydroxide systems without a PTC, probably because of the ability of triethylamine to act as a PTC.

A simple and environmentally friendly method is described for the efficient conversion of alkyl halide to alkyl thiocyanate using tetrabutylammonium bromide （TBAB） as a phase transfer catalyst.

No evidence for the formation of isothiocyanates as by-product of the reaction was observed and the products were obtained in pure form without further purification.

Reactions of 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)oxirane with alcohols under phase transfer catalysis

It was demonstrated that the reaction of 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)oxirane (1) with variety of alcohols could be successfully carried out under phase transfer catalysis conditions using sodium or potassium hydroxide as a base. For example, reaction of CH₃OH, C₂H₅OCH₂CH₂OH, HOCH₂CH₂OH with one or two moles of 1 in the presence of the catalyst [(C₄H₉)₄N⁺HSO₄⁻] gives the corresponding tertiary alcohols R[OCH₂C(CF₃)₂OH]_n (n=1 or 2) in 43-53% yield, along with some O[CH₂C(CF₃)₂OH]₂. Benzyl alcohol and phenol under similar conditions are less active, producing in the reaction with 1 the corresponding adducts ArOCH₂C(CF₃)₂OH in 31-35% yield. Fluorinated alcohols, such as CF₃CH₂OH, ClCF₂CH₂OH, HCF₂CF₂CH₂OH have much higher reactivity towards 1 giving ring opening products in 82-97% yield. Even in the reaction of hindered hexafluoro-iso-propanol the corresponding adduct was isolated in 43% yield. Surprisingly, the reaction of iso-propanol and epoxide 1, results in the formation of O[CH₂C(CF₃)₂OH]₂ as a major product, isolated in 56% yield. Possible mechanism for the formation of the last product was proposed.     

Selectivity engineered phase transfer catalysis in the synthesis of fine chemicals: reactions of p-chloronitrobenzene with sodium sulphide

Synthesis of chemicals from the same starting material wherein more than one step involving complex reactions are involved can be engineered to produce selectively the desired product by minimising both the by-product formation and separation stages. Several products of industrial importance can be produced from the same starting material by choosing proper conditions and nature and number of phases. The reduction of p-chloronitrobenzene with sodium sulphide was investigated in detail under different modes of phase transfer catalysis (PTC), such as liquid-liquid (L-L), liquid-solid (L-S reaction), and liquid-liquid-liquid (L-L-L) processes. This selectivity engineered PTC reaction has been investigated from mechanistic viewpoint and the rationale of selectivity is delineated.
