Recent advances in liquid-phase organic reactions using heteropolyacid and clay

ecent advances in liquid-phase organic reactions over solid acids are described based on the catalyses of acidic clays and silica-included heteropoly compounds. Zinc ion-exchanged smectite clays, particularly nontronite clays, were effectively applied as insoluble, readily recoverable solid acid catalysts to liquid-phase Friedel-Crafts reactions. Montmorillonite K10 catalyzes the synthesis of alkylporphyrin derivatives from aliphatic aldehydes and pyrroles more efficiently than the conventional homogeneous acids such as BF3 etherate. 12-Tungstophosphoric acid and its acidic Cs salt could be included in a silica matrix by means of sol-gel technique involving hydrolysis of ethyl orthosilicate forming insoluble and easily separable solid acid catalysts. These silica-included heteropoly compounds were thermally more stable than an ion-exchange resin catalyst such as Amberlyst-15, and catalyzed the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in the liquid phase more efficiently than the resin, H-ZSM-5 and even than aqueous heteropolyacid.     

12-磷钨酸及其铯盐的酸位可接近性:固体核磁共振探针分子研究

 固体酸催化剂的酸位可接近性是影响催化剂性能的重要性质. 使用与反应分子大小接近的碱性探针分子三甲基膦和固体核磁共振技术,定量研究了磷钨酸及其铯盐的酸位可接近性. 结果表明,磷钨酸具有“假液相性”,三甲基膦可以接近磷钨酸体相中的酸位,在无水的磷钨酸中,有大约2/5的酸位可以被三甲基膦所接近. 磷钨酸的铯盐没有“假液相性”,探针分子只能接近催化剂表面的酸位,在无水的Cs1.5H1.5PW12O40中,只有大约5%的酸位能够被三甲基膦所接近.     

Composite ion exchangers of redox type for cesium separation. Sorption-desorption-regeneration cycle with cupric ferrocyanide impregnated macroporous anion-exchange resins of strongly basic type

Cupric ferrocyanide impregnated Bio-Rad AGMP-1 or Amberlite IRA-904 exhibited an excellent performance and could be repeatedly used for cesium sorption from 3M nitric acid in the presence of trace hydrazine and subsequent cesium desorption with 3–5M nitric acid containing a slight amount of nitrous acid when regeneration of the composite ion exchanger after the desorption was conducted with an acidic hydrazine solution containing cupric ion above 200–250 ppm.     

A new process using a redox type of ion exchanger for cesium separation

A sorption-desorption-regeneration cycle composed of sorption of cesium on the sorbent in reduced state from strong nitric acid medium in the presence of an inhibitor such as hydrazinium salt, desorption of cesium by converting the spent sorbent into an oxidized state with a strong nitric acid eluent containing nitrous acid, and regeneration of the sorbent with a reducing agent such as hydrazinium salt was found to be possible with practically no loss of the sorbents when insoluble hexacyanoferrates of copper were used as redox type of ion exchangers.     

Organoboranes: XXXIII. Protonolysis of triethylborane with carboxylic acids

The hydrolysis of triethylborane with water proceeds very slowly at room temperature, unaffected by hydrochloric acid, but inhibited by sodium hydroxide. Acetic acid, however, removes the first ethyl group rapidly, followed by a slower removal of the second. The protonolysis of the third ethyl group requires elevated temperatures. The unusual reactivity of carboxylic acid toward protonolysis of triethylborane is attributed to the presence of both acidic and basic sites in close proximity. The effect of added reagents is also studied. Thus, bases, such as pyridine, inhibit the removal of the first ethyl group, whereas, hydroxylic solvents, water, and strong acids and bases hinder protonolysis of the second ethyl group.     

Reaction of pyromeconic acid with β-diazopropionic ester. Synthesis and attempted cyclization of β-(4H-pyran-4-on-3-yloxy)propionic acid

A procedure which utilizes a special sublimate condenser for preparation of pyromeconic acid (I) by decarboxylation of either meconic or comenic acid is reported. O-Alkylation of pyromeconic acid with ethyl β-diazopropionate ex situ yields ethyl β-(4H-pyran-4-on-3-yloxy)-propionate (II), acidic hydrolysis of which affords the free acid III. The acid III is refractory to ring-closure to a chromanone analog IV under a wide range of acidic conditions. O-Allylation of 1 gives 3-allyloxy-4H-pyran-4-one (V) as a low-melting crystalline solid.     

Role of the electrostatic interactions on the basic or acidic hydrolysis kinetics of poly-(d,l-lactide) monolayers

The hydrolysis kinetics of insoluble poly-(d,l-lactide) monolayers spread on basic or acidic aqueous subphase were followed by measuring simultaneously the decrease in the surface area at constant surface pressure and the evolution of the surface potential. An approach to analyse the role of the electrostatic interactions during the hydrolysis at alkaline pH, interpreting the surface potential data was developed. The theoretical predictions based on the idea of a random fragmentation of polymer molecules leading to the interfacial accumulation of charged insoluble products and solubilisation of small fragments describes well the experimental results. The reversibility of the hydrolysis/esterification reaction at acidic pH is taken into account.

Enantioselective hydrolysis of a Schiff's base of D,L-Phenylalanine ethyl ester in water-poor media via the reaction catalyzed with α-chymotrypsin immobilized on hydrophilic macroporous gel support

The application of immobilized α-chymotrypsin for the purpose of enantioselective hydrolysis of a Schiff's base of D,L-Phe-OEt (D,L-SBPH) in the mixed water-acetonitrile media with the different content of water is described. The immobilized biocatalyst was prepared by the chemical coupling of the enzyme to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) cryogel—the macroporous hydrogel prepared by means of the freezing-thawing techniques. SBPH is water insoluble, and, therefore, acetonitrile (MeCN) with minor water additives was used as a solvent for the reaction of enantics elective hydrolysis of the racemic substrate. The process was conducted for 96–200 h, and L-Phe with the purity up to 98% e.e. precipitated in both the reaction medium and gel-carrier bulk. Theproduct wasrecovered by washing the organo-insoluble sediment with aqueous ammonia. D-Phe with the purity up to 85% e.e. was recovered from the organic solution of D-ester after its acidic hydrolysis. The PVA-cryogel-attached enzyme was effective in SBPH hydrolysis in MeCN/water mixtures. The immobilized biocatalyst was active for more than 1 mo of application and could be successfully used after another 4 mo storage at +10°C.

Straightforward Synthesis of (R,S)-β-Methyleneaspartic Acid, an Inhibitor of Glutamate-Aspartate Transaminase

Summary. A Baylis-Hillman adduct of methyl acrylate and ethyl glyoxalate was converted into the trichloroacetimidate that in the presence of DABCO rearranged to the corresponding trichloroacetamide. Eventually, hydrolysis under acidic conditions, led to the hydrochloride of racemic β-methyleneaspartic acid.     

The dielectric constant and salt effects upon the acid hydrolysis of ethyl formate

The hydrolysis of ethyl formate catalysed by hydrochloric acid was studied at three temperatures in water-acetone media and in water media containing different concentrations of sodium nitrate. The effect of various ionic strengths and dielectric constants upon the rate of acid hydrolysis of ethyl formate is presented from the point of electrostatics and the results were compared to like effects upon the acid hydrolysis of ethyl acetate and methyl propionate. Neither the dielectric constant effect nor the salt effect lends itself readily to theoretical interpretation. It was assumed that a partial explanation of these anomalous results might be in the extrapolation of the acid radical to the simplest carboxylic acid. This suggestion was supported somewhat by the trends towards less adherance to the electrostatic theory at certain temperatures in the series methyl propionate, ethyl acetate and ethyl formate.

Structure and reactivity of mixed omega-carboxyalkyl/alkyl monolayers on silicon: ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and contact angle titration

The structure, reactivity, and acid-base properties of mixed monolayers prepared by photochemical reaction of hydrogen-terminated silicon with mixtures of ethyl undecylenate and n-alkenes were studied by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and contact-angle measurements. The surface composition of the mixed monolayers and its correlation with the hydrolysis reactivity of terminal ethoxycarbonyl (ester) groups were investigated by systematically varying the mole fraction of ethyl undecylenate and the chain length of the unsubstituted alkenes in the binary deposition solution. It has been shown that the mole fraction of ester groups on the surface deviates only slightly from the mole fraction of ethyl undecylenate in the solution. The efficiency of ester hydrolysis under acidic conditions is significantly influenced by the monolayer structure, i.e., the surface density of ester groups and length of the unsubstituted alkyl chains. In addition, we find that mixed omega-alkanoic acid/alkyl monolayers on silicon (prepared via hydrolysis) exhibit well-defined contact angle titration curves from which the surface acid dissociation constants were determined. The results were compared with the acid-base properties reported in the literature for carboxylic acid-terminated alkylsiloxane monolayers on hydroxylated silicon and for omega-mercaptoalkanoic acid/alkanethiolate monolayers on gold. The weak pKa dependence (deltapKa approximately 1) on the surface density of carboxylic acid groups and on the length of unsubstituted alkyl chains is attributed to variations of the microenvironment of the acid moieties. These experimental findings provide fundamental knowledge at the molecular level for the preparation of bioreactive surfaces of controlled reactivity on crystalline semiconductor substrates.     

Extraction properties of organic salts of acidic phosphoryl podands and trioctylamine with respect to cesium

The extraction ability of the organic salt of acidic phosphoryl podand (1,5-bis(o-(hydroxyethoxyphosphoryl)phenoxy)-3-oxapentane) and trioctylamine with respect to cesium in nitric acid and carbonate media is investigated. The extraction ability of the organic salts of acidic phosphoryl podand and trioctylamine are compared to those of dibenzo-18-crown-6 and di-tert-butyldicyclohexano-18-crown-6. It is shown that organic salts of this type have a significant advantage in the extraction of cesium from nitric acid and carbonate solutions.
