The Henry reaction of aromatic aldehydes and nitroalkanes could be performed by catalyst of Lipase A from Aspergillus niger in organic/water medium, and the corresponding Henry products were obtained in yields up to 94%. 相似文献
In the presence of 10 mol% lanthanide amide [(Me3Si)2N]3Ln(µ‐Cl)Li(THF)3, the aza‐Henry reaction of N‐tosyl imines with nitroalkanes (1:5 molar ratio) could be performed in good yields. The lanthanide amide‐catalyzed aza‐Henry reaction has the features of mild reaction conditions, tolerance of a variety of aromatic aldehyde‐derived imines and nitroalkanes, short time and good chemical yields. A catalytic mechanism for the reaction was also proposed. 相似文献
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have become one of the versatile solid materials used for a wide range of applications, such as gas storage, gas separation, proton conductivity, sensors and catalysis. Among these fields, one of the more well-studied areas is the use of MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts for a broad range of organic reactions. In the present review, the employment of MOFs as solid catalysts for the Henry reaction is discussed, and the available literature data from the last decade are grouped. The review is organized with a brief introduction of the importance of Henry reactions and structural properties of MOFs that are suitable for catalysis. The second part of the review discusses the use of MOFs as solid catalysts for the Henry reaction involving metal nodes as active sites, while the third section provides data utilizing basic sites (primary amine, secondary amine, amides and urea-donating sites). While commenting on the catalytic results in these two sections, the advantage of MOFs over other solid catalysts is compared in terms of activity by providing turnover number (TON) values and the structural stability of MOFs during the course of the reaction. The final section provides our views on further directions in this field. 相似文献
A new protocol for the Henry addition of nitroalkanes to aryl- and alkyl-aldehydes promoted by PS-BEMP under solvent-free conditions (SolFC) is presented. The corresponding nitroaldol products were obtained in good yields and short times; furthermore minimization of the reaction waste was achieved by reducing the use of organic solvents. Extension of the protocol was obtained by setting up the tandem Michael-Henry reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and nitroalkane to yield the corresponding dinitro derivatives. 相似文献
Complete control of the product of a catalytic reaction can be achieved on the basis of catalyst structure, even when the reaction conditions are nearly identical. Catalyst‐controlled selectivity is well established for enantioselective catalysis but less formulated for catalytic regio‐, chemo‐, or product‐selective reactions. This Review describes selective transformations of the same starting materials into two or more different products simply by the choice of catalyst. By collecting and highlighting examples of selective catalysis, we hope that the field will be encouraged by the progress that has been made while bringing attention to unmet needs in the design and mechanistic understanding of selective catalysts. 相似文献
The synthesis of bifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles is described. Two chemically orthogonal functionalities are incorporated into mesoporous silica by co‐condensation of tetraethoxysilane with two orthogonally functionalized triethoxyalkylsilanes. Post‐functionalization is achieved by orthogonal surface chemistry. A thiol–ene reaction, Cu‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar alkyne/azide cycloaddition, and a radical nitroxide exchange reaction are used as orthogonal processes to install two functionalities at the surface that differ in reactivity. Preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles bearing acidic and basic sites by this approach is discussed. Particles are analyzed by solid state NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, infrared‐spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. As a first application, these particles are successfully used as cooperative catalysts in the Henry reaction. 相似文献
A new series of Schiff bases derived from Cinchona alkaloids were developed as chiral ligands for the copper(II)-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction. The optimized catalyst can promote the Henry reaction of both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with nitromethane or nitroethane. Those reactions can afford the chiral β-nitro alcohol adducts with high enantioselectivities. 相似文献
Self‐assembled copper(II) complexes are described as effective catalysts for nitroaldol (Henry) reactions on water. The protocol involves a heterogeneous process and the catalysts can be recovered and recycled without loss of activity. Further, C2‐symmetric N,N′‐substituted chiral copper(II) salan complexes are found to be more effective catalysts than chiral copper(II) salen complexes for reactions in homogeneous catalysis, with high enantioselectivities. The reactions involve bifunctional catalysis, bearing the properties of a Brønsted base, as well as a Lewis acid, to effect the reaction in the absence of external additives. 相似文献
Michael, Henry, and Henry : A new one‐pot reaction of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes and β‐dicarbonyls, which involves a Michael reaction catalyzed by diarylprolinol ethers and an inter–intramolecular Henry tandem reaction catalyzed by TBAF (see scheme), has been developed. The reaction proceeds in high enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity for a wide range of unsaturated aldehydes and β‐dicarbonyl reagents.
A highly anti‐selective asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed, affording synthetically versatile β‐nitroalcohols in a predominately anti‐selective manner (mostly above 15:1) and excellent ee values (mostly above 95 %). Moreover, the anti‐selective Henry reaction was carried out in the presence of water for the first time with up to 99 % ee. The catalytic mechanism was proposed based on the detection of the intermediates by extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI‐MS). Furthermore, the anti adducts have been successfully transformed into the biochemically important (+)‐spisulosine and a pyrroloisoquinoline derivative. 相似文献
