A Metal‐Free Three‐Component Reaction for the Regioselective Synthesis of 1,4,5‐Trisubstituted 1,2,3‐Triazoles

A metal‐free three‐component reaction to synthesize 1,4,5‐trisubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles from readily available building blocks, such as aldehydes, nitroalkanes, and organic azides, is described. The process is enabled by an organocatalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of the formyl group with the nitro compound, which is followed by the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of the azide to the activated alkene. The reaction features an excellent substrate scope, and the products are obtained with high yield and regioselectivity. This method can be utilized for the synthesis of fused triazole heterocycles and materials with several triazole moieties.     

Delaminated zeolite‐catalysed synthesis of high‐molecular weight polycarbosilane as a low shrinkage SiC precursor

A polycarbosilane (PCS) with a higher number–average molecular weight (2710 vs. 1570), and hence with a higher ceramic yield (74 vs. 68%), compared to a commercial Nipusi type S PCS has been synthesized via the catalytic decomposition of polydimethylsilane at 400 °C using H‐ITQ‐2, a delaminated zeolite with a very high external surface area, as a solid acid. The silicon carbide film fabricated using this PCS was found to show a much lower level (16 vs. 39%) of shrinkage than the commercial PCS‐derived film, together with better mechanical properties, suggesting the potential of its preceramic polymer to produce robust ceramic coatings. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MOF‐promoted Three‐component Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrano[3,2‐c]chromen under Mild Conditions

A convenient and efficient route for synthesis of various derivatives of 3‐benzoyl‐4‐phenyl‐2‐(trifluoromethyl)pyrano[3,2‐c]chromen‐5(4H)‐one has been used via tandem Knoevenagel condensation–Michael addition and intramolecular cyclization sequence. These products have been synthesized in the presence of catalytic amount of metal–organic framework (MOF) and potassium carbonate as one‐pot, three‐component reaction. MOF catalyst has been separated easily with external magnet, and high purity of products has been obtained after washing with ethanol. This protocol has advantages of simplicity, mild condition, and high yield. More importantly, MOF has been easily recycled for three times.     

A DFT study of IRMOF-3 catalysed Knoevenagel condensation

It has been recently reported that IRMOF-3 [Gascon et al., J. Catal, 2009, 261, 75] may behave as a basic catalyst, active in the Knoevenagel condensation. In particular, it has been shown that the basicity of aniline-like amino moieties is enhanced, along with the catalytic activity, when incorporated into MOF structures. The computational study here was aimed at finding possible atomistic explanations of the increased basicity and catalytic activity of the IRMOF-3 embedded aniline groups, experimentally claimed. It was, moreover, aimed at guessing a reaction mechanism for the IRMOF-3 catalysed Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl-cyanoacetate. Within the DFT framework we have studied structure and basicity properties of IRMOF-3 and we have analysed the energetics of the catalytic cycle as well as of possible deactivation paths, including it. The increased basicity of IRMOF-3 over other amminic catalysts has been explained via the formation of protonated conjugate derivatives, involving hydrogen-bonds and originating quasi-planar 6-term rings. Several plausible reaction steps have been moreover taken into account and a mechanism for the Knoevenagel condensation, including catalyst deactivation, has been proposed for aniline molecules and embedded aniline moieties. This allowed us to suggest that the increased IRMOF-3 activity, as a basic catalyst, should be mostly related to its water adsorption ability, preserving the properties of the catalytically active amino moieties.     

Bifunctional Gyroidal MOFs: Highly Efficient Lewis Base and Lewis Acid Catalysts

A family of gyroidal metal–organic frameworks (STUs) composited with transition metal ions and bi‐imidazolate ligands (BIm) were prepared and applied as both Lewis base and acid catalysts. Benefiting from the intrinsic basicity of the ligands and the Lewis acidic sites of the open metal centres, the STUs materials show excellent catalytic activities as Lewis base for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction between various aldehydes and malononitrile, and as Lewis acid for cyanosilylation reactions. Among these STUs, STU‐4 (Ni(BIm)) shows the best catalytic efficiency (conversions >99 %) in both Knoevenagel condensation and cyanosilylation reactions under mild conditions, providing thus an advanced material for both Lewis base and Lewis acid catalysis.     

Simple,Efficient, and Green Method for Synthesis of Trisubstituted Electrophilic Alkenes Using Lipase as a Biocatalyst

A simple and efficient Knoevenagel condensation method for the synthesis of trisubstituted electrophilic alkenes was developed using lipase as a biocatalyst. Knoevenagel condensation was performed using the conventional method and using lipases (Aspergillus oryzae or Rhizopus oryzae) as biocatalysts, and reaction time, reaction temperature, yield, and recyclability were compared. Using a lipase as a biocatalyst eliminated the need for bases such as piperidine and pyridine. A wide range of aromatic aldehydes and ketones readily undergo condensation with active methylene compounds. The workup procedure is also very simple, and yields of the reactions are in the range of 75% to 95%. Both the biocatalysts were effectively recycled four times with no major decrease in the yield of product. The remarkable catalytic activity and reusability of lipase widens its applicability in Knoevenagel condensation with good to excellent yields for synthesis of trisubstituted electrophilic alkenes.

The strategy involves basic ionic liquid, [bmim]OH‐catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation between ethyl cyanoacetate and aromatic aldehyde and subsequent thia‐Michael addition with substituted thioureas. The reaction sequence is smooth and quantitative under ambient temperature. [bmim]OH was recovered and reused four times without any appreciable decrease in its reactivity and product yield.     

Synthesis of multifunctional polymer containing Ni‐Pd NPs via thiol‐ene reaction for one‐pot cascade reactions

Recently, acid–base bifunctional catalysts have been considered due to their abilities, such as the simultaneous activation of electrophilic and nucleophilic species and their high importance in organic syntheses. However, the synthesis of acid–base catalysts is problematic due to the neutralization of acidic and basic groups. This work reports a facial approach to solve this problem via the synthesis of a novel bifunctional polymer using inexpensive materials and easy methods. In this way, at the first step, heterogeneous poly (styrene sulfonic acid‐n‐vinylimidazole) containing pentaerythritol tetra‐(3‐mercaptopropionate) (PETMP) and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) cross‐linkers were synthesized in the pores of a mesoporous silica structure using click reaction as a novel bifunctional acid–base catalyst. After that, Ni‐Pd nanoparticles supported on poly (styrenesulfonic acid‐n‐vinylimidazole)/KIT‐6 as a novel trifunctional heterogeneous acid–base‐metal catalyst was prepared. The prepared catalysts were characterized by various techniques like FT‐IR, TGA, ICP‐AES, DRS‐UV, TEM, FE‐SEM, EDS‐Mapping, and XRD. The synthesized catalysts were efficiently used as bifunctional/trifunctional catalysts for one‐pot, deacetalization‐Knoevenagel condensation and one‐pot, three‐step and a sequential reaction containing deacetalization‐Knoevenagel condensation‐reduction reaction. It is important to note that the synthesized catalyst showing high chemo‐selectivity for the reduction of nitro group, alkenyl double bond and ester group in the presence of nitrile. Moreover, it was found that the different nanoparticles including Ni, Pd, and alloyed Ni‐Pd showing different chemo‐selectivity and catalytic activity in the reaction.     

Generation of Pseudocontact Shifts in Proteins with Lanthanides Using Small “Clickable” Nitrilotriacetic Acid and Iminodiacetic Acid Tags

Pseudocontact shifts (PCS) induced by paramagnetic lanthanide ions provide unique long‐range structural information in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, but the site‐specific attachment of lanthanide tags to proteins remains a challenge. Here we incorporated p‐azido‐phenylalanine (AzF) site‐specifically into the proteins ubiquitin and GB1, and ligated the AzF residue with alkyne derivatives of small nitrilotriacetic acid and iminodiacetic acid tags using the Cu^I‐catalysed “click” reaction. These tags form lanthanide complexes with no or only a small net charge and produced sizeable PCSs with paramagnetic lanthanide ions in all mutants tested. The PCSs were readily fitted by single magnetic susceptibility anisotropy tensors. Protein precipitation during the click reaction was greatly alleviated by the presence of 150 mM NaCl.

In this paper, guanidine groups (Gn) supported on modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄–4,4′‐MDI) were synthesized for the first time. The catalyst synthesized was characterized by various techniques such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), TEM (Transmission electron microscopy), XRD ( X‐ray Diffraction ), TGA (Thermogravimetric ananlysis), EDS ( Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy ) and VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer). The catalyst activity of modified MNPs–MDI‐Gn, as powerful basic nanocatalyst, was probed through the Knoevenagel and Tandem Knoevenagel–Michael‐cyclocondensation reactions. Conversion was high under optimal conditions, and reaction time was remarkably shortened. This nanocatalyst could simply be separated and recovered from the reaction mixture by simple magnetic decantation and reused many times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. Also, the nanocatalyst could be recycled for at least seven (Knoevenagel condensation) and six (Knoevenagel and Tandem Knoevenagel–Michael‐cyclocondensation) additional cycles after they were separated by magnetic decantation and, washed with ethanol, air‐dried, and immediately reused.

The composite catalyst used for this synthetically useful transformation showed considerable level of reusability besides very good activity.     

Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Coumarin Derivatives via Knoevenagel Condensation: A Review

The synthesis of coumarins through Knoevenagel condensation is one of the most important processes in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Compounds including a coumarin (2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran) backbone have a wide range of application in the pharmaceutical field. Thus, many methodologies have been developed for the synthesis of this important class of compounds. However, some methods are always associated with toxic and corrosive catalysts, longer reaction time, poor yield, less purity, and by-products along with the desired product. Furthermore, some of these processes are not efficient and environmentally friendly. Therefore, mild, efficient, and environmentally friendly protocols have been developed recently by many scientists for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives via Knoevenagel condensation with good yield and purity. In this review, we have summarized various methods for the synthesis of coumarins via Knoevenagel condensation.
