The design and development of a silica gel anchored copper chloride heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of propargylamines using an amine, an aldehyde, and an alkyne through C-H activation in water is described. Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and amines are used for the reaction. The catalyst was recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused several times.     

Cp<Subscript>2</Subscript>ZrCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Catalyzed cycloalumination of acetylenic alcohols and propargylamines by Et<Subscript>3</Subscript>Al

The Cp₂ZrCl₂-catalyzed cycloalumination of acetylenic alcohols and propargylamines by Et₃Al was studied. The process affords 2,3-disubstituted alumacyclopent-2-enes, which were identified by the analysis of the products of their deuterolysis and hydrolysis. The cycloalumination of alkyl- and phenyl-substituted propargylamines proceeds with high regio- and stereoselectivity to give the corresponding allylamine derivatives in high yield. Unlike the phenyl derivatives, the cycloalumination of alkyl-substituted acetylenic alcohols (propargyl, homopropargyl, and bishomopropargyl alcohols) is not regioselective.

Phosphorus pentoxide supported on silica gel and alumina (P2O5/SiO2, P2O5/Al2O3) as useful catalysts in organic synthesis

Phosphorus pentoxide supported on silica gel or alumina (P₂O₅/SiO₂, P₂O₅/Al₂O₃) has been used in many organic transformations as versatile solid catalysts. These catalysts have received considerable attention as an inexpensive, eco-friendly, highly reactive, easy to handle and non-toxic acid catalyst for various organic transformations, affording the corresponding products in excellent yields and high selectivity. In this review, some applications of these catalysts in organic reactions are discussed.     

CuPy2Cl2: A Novel and Efficient Catalyst for Synthesis of Propargylamines Under the Conventional Method and Microwave Irradiation

CuPy₂Cl₂ is an efficient catalyst for the preparation of propargylamines via three-component coupling reaction of aromatic aldehydes, amines, and aromatic alkynes stirred at 95 °C without using any solvent to afford the corresponding products in good yields. The reaction mixture was irradiated at 450 W in a microwave oven to furnish the expected products in excellent yields.     

Preparation and characterization of CuO/SiO2 and NiO/SiO2 with bimodal pore structure by sol-gel method

CuO/SiO₂ and NiO/SiO₂ with bimodal pore structure were prepared by sol-gel reactions of Tetra-methoxysilane (TMOS) and the respective metal nitrate in the presence of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) with an average molecular weight of 10 000 and the catalyst of acetic acid. In this process, the interconnected macroporous morphology was formed when transitional structures of spinodal decomposition were frozen by the sol-gel transition of silica. The addition of copper and nickel into the silica-PEO system had a negligible effect on the morphology formation. In gel formation, it was found that NiO crystalline sizes in the samples increased with decreasing Si/Ni molar ratio. It was considered that PEO interacted with both silica and nickel cations. In the CuO/SiO₂ with the presence of PEO_, CuO crystalline sizes were larger than those of NiO/SiO_2. It was considered that there was no obvious interaction between the Cu cation and PEO, most of the copper ions in wet silica gel were present in the outer solution. They easily aggregated as copper salts in the drying process of wet gel and decomposed into CuO particles in heating. While in the CuO/SiO₂ with the absence of PEO, the Cu was selectively entrapped as small particles in the gel skeleton due to the interaction between Cu aqua complex and silica gel network.     

Copper(I)‐N2S2‐salen type complex covalently anchored onto MCM‐41 silica: an efficient and reusable catalyst for the A3‐coupling reaction toward propargylamines

The immobilization of copper complexes by covalent anchoring of the ligand on the surface of mesoporous MCM‐41 has been described. Bis[2‐(phenylthio)benzylidene]‐1,2‐ethylenediamine as a new N₂S₂ donor salen‐type ligand was covalently anchored onto nanopores of MCM‐41 coordinated with copper (I) halide. The organic–inorganic hybrid material was achieved readily using 3‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane as a reactive surface modifier. 2‐Nitrobenzaldehyde was reacted smoothly with the thiol moieties in order to form functionalized nanoporous silica with carbaldehyde groups. The resulting supported organic moieties were converted to thiosalen ligand and coordinated with CuX (X = CN, Cl, Br, I). Characterization of the heterogeneous catalyst by X‐ray diffraction, N₂ sorption, FT‐IR, diffuse reflectance UV‐visible and TGA techniques indicated successful grafting of the copper complex inside the nano‐channels of MCM‐41. The heterogenized catalyst was evaluated by the Mannich condensation reaction of aldehydes, amines and alkynes. In this reaction, the corresponding propargylamines were obtained as single products in good to excellent yields. Factors such as reaction temperature, solvent, catalyst loading, leaching and reusability of the catalyst also were discussed. The use of MCM‐41 as support permits an easier separation and recycles with only a marginal decrease in reactivity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis of 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones

A squarate-based synthesis of 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones is described. When refluxed in dioxane at 100 °C, heated with silica gel as a solvent free grinded solid mixture at 125 °C or stirred with silica gel in ethyl acetate at room temperature, 4-ferrocenylethynyl-4-hydroxy-2-cyclobutenones, prepared from ethynylferrocene and 3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones, afforded 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones as the major or single product of the reaction. In some cases, ferrocenyl quinones also resulted from these reactions as the minor products. The major or exclusive formation of 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones is attributed to the radical-stabilizing ability of the ferrocenyl group.     

Efficient CO2 capture on low-cost silica gel modified by polyethyleneimine

In this work,a series of polyethyleneimine(PEI) functionalized commercial silica gel were prepared by wet impregnation method and used as CO 2 sorbent.The as-prepared sorbents were characterized by N 2 adsorption,FT-IR and SEM techniques.CO 2 capture was tested in a fixed bed reactor using a simulated flue gas containing 15.1% CO 2 in a temperature range of 25-100 C.The effects of sorption temperature and amine content on CO 2 uptake of the adsorbents were investigated.The silica gel with a 30 wt% PEI loading manifested the largest CO 2 uptake of 93.4 mg CO 2 /g adsorbent(equal to 311.3 mg CO 2 /g PEI) among the tested sorbents under the conditions of 15.1%(v/v) CO 2 in N 2 at 75 C and atmospheric pressure.Moreover,it was rather low-cost.In addition,the PEI-impregnated silica gel exhibited stable adsorption-desorption behavior during 5 consecutive test cycles.These results suggest that the PEI-impregnated silica gel is a promising and cost-effective sorbent for CO 2 capture from flue gas and other stationary sources with low CO 2 concentration.     

The influence of metal(II) salts and solid supports on the nature of the photochemical reaction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-haloethene

Photolysis of 1,1-diphenyl-2-haloethene in methanol solution in the presence of copper(II) acetate, copper(II) triflate or cadmium(II) acetate results in the formation of ionic and radical products. The ratio of ionic to ionic and radical products depends on the halogen atom and the salt used. The effect of a solid support (silica gel, silica gel impregnated with copper(II) or cadmium(II) salts) was studied and it was found that the product distribution and the ratio of ionic to ionic and radical products are different from the results obtained during irradiation in solution.

The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the tetracyanobutadiene bridged molecular architectures based on various moieties including diketopyrrolopyrrole, isoindigo, benzothiadiazole, pyrene, pyrazabole, truxene, boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY), phenothiazine, triphenylamine, thiazole and bisthiazole are summarized. Further, we discuss some important applications of the tetracyanobutadiene bridged derivatives in dye sensitized solar cells, bulk heterojunction solar cells and photothermal cancer therapy.     

Practical application of PhI(OAc)2/I2 combination to synthesize benzimidazoles from 2-aminobenzylamine through ring distortion strategy

In this present work the combination of iodobenzenediacetate (PIDA)/iodine has been established as a promising reagent to promote the construction of 2-substituted benzimidazoles from 2-aminobenzylamine and a variety of easily available aldehydes/arylamines through a ring distortion strategy. The present protocol offers mild, metal free, robust conditions to synthesize 2-substituted benzimidazoles in good to excellent yields. In addition, the oxidation prone functional groups show tolerance during the reaction and after completion of the reaction pure products can be easily obtained applying hassle free filtration of the reaction mixture through silica gel bed.     

Synthesis of Difluoroglycine Derivatives from Amines,Difluorocarbene, and CO2: Computational Design,Scope, and Applications

A three-component reaction (3CR) for the synthesis of difluoroglycine derivatives has been achieved by using amines, difluorocarbene (generated in situ), and the abundant, inexpensive, and nontoxic C₁ source CO₂. Various tert-amines and pyridine, (iso)quinoline, imidazole, thiazole, and pyrazole derivatives were incorporated, and the corresponding products were isolated in solid form without purification by column chromatography on silica gel. Detailed reaction profiles of the 3CR were obtained from computational analysis using DFT calculations, and the results critically suggest that simple ammonia is not applicable to this reaction. In addition, as strongly supported by computational predictions, a new reagent that can generate difluorocarbene at 0 °C without any additives was discovered. Finally, radical substitution reactions of the obtained difluoroglycine derivatives under photoredox conditions, as well as a synthetic application as an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand are shown.     

Ethylene Adsorption and Oxidation Kinetics in the Reactions with Pd(II)/SiO2 and Cr(VI)/SiO2: Consideration of Substrate Distribution between the Gas Phase,Silica Gel,and Reaction Centers

The kinetics of ethylene oxidation by PdCl₂ and CrO₃ complexes supported on silica gel (300 K, closed batch reactor) and the adsorption of C₂H₄ by silica gel and metal complex reaction centers (M ⁿ ) were studied. A new version of the kinetic distribution method was applied to determine the rate constants of ethylene reactions with metal complexes with consideration for the equilibrium distribution of C₂H₄ among the reactor gas phase, silica gel, and M ⁿ . The rate constant of a first-order reaction with respect to Cr(VI) (k _e) remained constant as [M ⁿ ] was increased up to 0.15 mol % with the absence of detectable ethylene adsorption by chromium(VI). In the case of Pd(II)/SiO₂, strong ethylene adsorption by palladium(II) was found, and k _e was an exponential function of [M ⁿ ]. This exponential function is indicative of an increase in the specific activity of Pd(II) with palladium concentration on SiO₂. Taking into account the adsorption of ethylene (physisorption on SiO₂ and chemisorption on Pd(II)), we found an analogy between the kinetic behaviors of Pd(II) in reactions with ethylene on silica gel and with ethylene and other hydrocarbons in solutions.     

The decomposition of gaseous products of the chemical transport reaction between H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> and ZnO on the surface of silica gel

The decomposition of gaseous products of the chemical transport reaction that occurs in the interaction between H₂O₂ vapor and ZnO was studied on the surface of silica gel. At the initial stage of the decomposition of the intermediate complex formed in the chemical transport reaction between H₂O₂ and ZnO, the specific surface area of the sorbent increases noticeably. The pore size distribution maximum simultaneously shifts toward smaller values. The opposite effect is observed as the time of holding silica gel in a flow of gaseous products of the chemical transport reaction between H₂O₂ and ZnO increases. The treatment of the silica sorbent by the intermediate complex formed in the reaction between H₂O₂ and ZnO substantially influences the fractal dimension of its surface.     

Composite of SiO2 and Hydrogel Having Microphase Separated Structure: Physical Properties Dependence on pH

Abstract

Organic-inorganic composite gel was prepared by using PEG-modified urethane acrylate (PMUA) gel and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). PMUA gel was prepared by the phase-inversion emulsion polymerization of PMUA emulsion. The gelation of PMUA emulsion using this method enables PMUA gel to swell with H₂O, TEOS, and ethanol. Hydrolysis and condensation reaction rates of the sol-gel process are strongly influenced by the pH controlled by catalysts such as HCl and NH₄OH. Additionally, the morphology on the cross section of composite and the amount of silica ingredient incorporated into the composite gel were dependent on solvent, the molar ratio of H₂O to TEOS, as well as the pH value.

As the silica content increased, due to hydrogen bonds interacting between PMUA gel and SiO₂, particles, the tensile strength of composites considerably increased, whereas the elongation at break decreased. The incorporation of silica ingredient in PMUA gel/silica composites was verified with FTIR/ATR and SEM. The amount of the silica component in the composite was indirectly investigated by using TGA thermal analysis.

An efficient and facile one-pot synthesis of propargylamines by three-component coupling of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes via C-H activation catalyzed by NiCl2

NiCl₂ was found to be a highly efficient and effective catalyst for the one-pot three-component (A³) coupling of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes to produce propargylamines in nearly quantitative yields. Structurally divergent aldehydes, amines, and alkynes were converted into the corresponding propargylamines. No co-catalyst or activator is needed and water is the only byproduct of this novel protocol.
