Application of Microwave Heating Technique to Esterification

Introduction Although the application of microwave technique has been reported as a new type of energy source chemically, it is only in recent years that this technique has been used as the energy source for organic synthesis. In 1986, R. Gedye, et al., published the report of the benzoate synthesis from the respective reactions between benzene carboxylic acid and methanol, propanol or butanol under microwave heating and the catalysis of H_2SO_4.     

Density functional study on enantioselective reduction of keto oxime ether with borane catalyzed by oxazaborolidine

Chiral amino alcohols have interesting biological activities and are used widely as chiral ligands in metal-mediated organic reactions[1―3]. Although many amino alcohols can be derived from the available amino acids, the asymmetric synthesis is an important method to get novel amino alcohols. Tillyer et al.[4] reported a new, highly stereoselective synthesis of cyclic (1S,2R)-cis amino alcohols A from keto oxime ethers B, via the enantioselective reduction catalyzed by oxazaborolidine C in …

Novel method for synthesis of titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1)

Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) was easily synthesized using inorganic silicon and titanium source, tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr) or TPAOH as templating molecule, NH3· H2O, HDA or TEAOH etc. as base sources. In this system, TPA cations (come from TPABr or TPAOH) served as tern-plating agents to direct the MFI structure. NH3H2O, TEAOH or HDA etc. provides the alkalinity necessary for crystallization. X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis, ER spectroscopies, SEM, 29 Si MAS NMR showed that the zeolites obtained possessed all the structural characteristics of TS-1, and titanium atoms were introduced into the framework in TS-1. This material was proved to have high crystallinity and high catalytic activity to allyl chloride epoxidation and propylene epoxidation. All the samples synthesized had similar catalytic properties with a standard TS-1 through compared inorganic reactant system with organic synthesis system using propylene epoxidation. The effects of silicon source and TPABr/SiO2 ratio were discussed.     

Synthesis of single crystal-like hierarchically mesoporous titanosilicate Ti-SBA-1

Hierarchically mesoporous titanosilicate Ti-SBA-1 was synthesized with organic mesomorphous complexes of polyelectrolyte(poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)) and cationic surfactant(hexadecyl pyridinium chloride(CPC)) as template, tetraethylsiloxane as silica source and titanium ethoxide as titanium source.By adjusting the amount of titanium ethoxide in the synthesis, a series of Ti-SBA-1 particles with different Si/Ti ratio(79–180) were prepared. After incorporation of Ti into the silica framework the wellordered cubic Pm3n mesostructure remained, as well as the morphology, particle size. UV–vis DR spectra of the Ti-SBA-1 materials indicated that incorporated titanium species existed in a highly dispersed state and exhibited tetrahedral and octahedral coordination in the silica framework.     

Cuprous Iodide Catalyzed Synthesis of Diaryl Selenide and Telluride from Organoboronic Acids with Diphenyl Diselenide and Ditelluride

Organoselenium and tellurium compounds have received much attention not only as synthetic reagents or intermediates in organic synthesis but also as promising donor molecules for conductive materials.[1] A number of synthetic methods have been reported to prepare organoselenium and tellurium derivatives. A convenient and general method to introduce a selenium or tellurium moiety into organic molecules is the reaction of a metal selenolate or tellurolate with appropriate electrophiles such as organic halides, acyl chlorides, epoxides, and α, β-enones.[2] However, it is difficult to synthesize the unsymmetrical diarylselenides and tellurides through the reaction of selenide anion with organic halides because of the less reactivity of aryl halides. To accomplish this purpose, the reaction (iodobenzene with phenylselenol)was generally carried out in the presence of catalysts, ligands and strong bases. But, the reaction needs longer time to accomplish and form the products in moderate yields.

Study on the Ammoximation of Cyclohexanone to Cyclohexanone Oxime Catalyzed by Titanium Silicalite-1 Formed in Inorganic System

The conventional and modified synthesis of titanium silicalite-1 is in the organic system^[1,2]. We have reported the TS-1 could be prepared with colloidal SiO₂ and TiCl₃ as Si source and Ti source respectively in inorganic system^[3]. The present paper deals with the ammoximation of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanone oxime over TS-1 prepared by the method described above. Tests are carried out for 5 hours at 65℃,with NH₃ and H₂O₂ in the liquid phase, acetone as solvent, reactants adding to reactor all at once over these two kinds of TS-1. The results show that oxime yield over TS-1 produced in inorganic system is as good as or better than that catalyzed by conventional TS-1 at the same conditions. More over, more satisfied yield of oxinone could be achieved if it reacts at some optimal reaction conditions^[4,5]. In addition, the same result has been reached at the epoxidation of propylene catalyzed by these two kinds of TS-1 Following table is the results of reaction catalyzed by these two kinds of TS-1.     

Self-assembly and host-guest chemistry of big metallosupramolecular M4L4 tetrahedra

Metallosupramolecular tetrahedra M8[L4Ti4] are easily obtained by self-assembly from the triangular ligands L-H6 and titanoyl bis(acetylacetonate) in the presence of alkali metal carbonates as base. All the complexes can be well characterized by 1H NMR in combination with ESI FT-ICR MS. Force field calculations reveal that the tetrahedra show Ti-Ti separations of 17 angstroms ([L1(4)Ti4]8-) and 23.5 angstroms ([L2(4)Ti4]8-), respectively, leading to huge internal cavities. The cavity is readily shielded in the case of L1 but possesses big pores with the bigger ligand L2. [L1(4)Ti4]8- was used to investigate the host-guest chemistry of these container molecules and it was found that cationic organic guest species like anilinium can be introduced in the interior of the complex. Inclusion is nicely followed by NMR spectroscopy. Upon addition of one equivalent of guest the symmetry of the tetrahedron is lost but is regained after addition of significantly more than four equivalents.

Simple,Convenient, and Efficient Synthesis of 2-Aryl-substituted Benzo[b]furans

A simple, convenient, and efficient one-pot method for the preparation of benzofuran is reported. Sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl iodides with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol was used as an acetylene source in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ and CuI. Deprotection of the acetylene moiety in the same pot using a strong base and the second Sonogashira coupling/cyclization of and substituted o-iodophenols led to the formation of the appropriate benzo[b]furans. These protocols also can be used in the synthesis of natural products and indoles.     

Regio- and diastereoselective reductive coupling of vinylepoxides catalyzed by titanocene chloride

[reaction: see text] The Ti(III)-catalyzed reaction of a series of vinylepoxides leads, with regio- and E-diastereoselectivity control, to good-to-excellent yields of the corresponding homocoupling products. This homocoupling reaction, which involves a new C-C bond-forming method, takes place via a S(N)2' process between an allyltitanium species and the starting vinylepoxide. The process can be used for the rapid and efficient formation of highly valuable intermediates for organic synthesis, as well as new interesting homologues of natural products.     

Location of Si vacancies and [Ti(OSi)4] and [Ti(OSi)3OH] sites in the MFI framework: a large cluster and full ab initio study

Titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) is an important catalyst for selective oxidation reactions. However, the nature and structure of the active sites and the mechanistic details of the catalytic reactions over TS-1 have not been well-understood, leaving a continuous debate on the genesis of active sites on the TS-1 surface in the literature. In this work, the location of Si vacancies and [Ti(OSi)(4)] and [Ti(OSi)(3)OH] sites in the MFI (Framework Type Code of ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobile-Five)) framework has been studied using a full ab initio method with 40T clusters with a Si:Ti molar ratio of 39:1. It was shown that the former four energetically favorable sites for Si vacancies are T6, T12, T4, and T8 and for Ti centers of [Ti(OSi)(4)] are T10, T4, T8 and T11, being partially the same sites. Whether by replacing Si vacancies or substituting the fully coordinated Si sites, the most preferential site for Ti is T10, which indicates that the insertion mechanism does not affect the favorable sites of Ti in the MFI lattice. For the defective [Ti(OSi)(3)OH] sites, it was found that the Si vacancy at T6 with a Ti at its neighboring T9 site (T6-def-T9-Ti pair) is the most energetically favorable one, followed by a T6-def-T5-Ti pair with a small energy gap. These findings are significant to elucidate the nature of the active sites and the mechanism of reactions catalyzed by TS-1 and to design the TS-1 catalyst.     

3-Methyl-4H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazol-5-one: a versatile synthon for protecting monosubstituted acetamidines

The utilization of 3-methyl-4H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazol-5-one as a versatile protected acetamidine is demonstrated through employment in a variety of synthetic sequences. The potassium salt (2a) or the neutral form (2b) is alternatively shown to be superior for various synthetic reactions (i.e., alkylation, Michael addition, Mitsunobu) to incorporate side chains for further synthesis. The 3-methyl-4H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazol-5-one moiety was found to be stable to acid or base under non-aqueous conditions. It was also found to be stable to many reagents commonly used for organic synthesis. Despite this stability, the free acetamidine may be released by mild reduction including Lindlar hydrogenation or dissolving metal reductions. Alternatively, the hydroxyl amidine may be formed via alkaline hydrolysis.
