钨酸钠催化芳香腈高选择性氧化制备芳香酰胺

 The preparation of aryl amides by selective oxidation of aryl nitriles using sodium tungstate as catalyst and sodium percarbonate or sodium carbonate-hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant in a methanol and water solution was studied. Aryl nitriles were converted to aryl amides with very high selectivity of 95%～100% at room temperature. The reactivity of aryl nitriles decreased with increasing their branched chain length. In the oxidation of tolunitriles, the oxidation rate of p-tolunitrile and m-tolunitrile was very fast, but the oxidation rate of o-tolunitrile was very slow. The oxidation rate of p-haloid aryl nitriles and p-nitro aryl nitrile decreased in the order p-nitrobenzonitrile＞p-chlorobenzonitrile＞p-bromobenzonitrile, while the selectivity for aryl amides was maintained at a high level of 98%～100%. The comparison of the two oxidants showed that when sodium carbonate-hydrogen peroxide was used as oxidant, the oxidation rate and selectivity were better than that when percarbonate was used. The sodium tungstate catalyst and carbonate can be reused and the catalytic activity and selectivity did not change if a suitable amount of hydrogen peroxide was supplied. This work provides a convenient method for the preparation of aryl amides from aryl nitriles under very mild reaction conditions.     

Glass transition and miscibility in blends of two semicrystalline polymers: Poly(aryl ether ketone) and poly(ether ether ketone)

Binary melt‐blended mixtures of two aryl ether ketone polymers (i.e., a new poly(aryl ether ketone) (code name PK99) and poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), have been studied. Polymer miscibility in glassy amorphous (or melt) domains has been demonstrated for the binary blend comprising of two aryl‐ether‐ketone‐type semicrystalline polymers. Composition‐dependent, single T_g was observed within full composition range in the PK99/PEEK blends, and the narrow T_g breadth also suggests that the scale of mixing was fine and uniform. To better resolve any possible overlapping T_g's, physical aging was imposed on a comparison set of blend samples for the purpose of improving detectability of overlapped multiple transitions if existing. The result still showed one single T_g. The relative sharp T_g and lack of cloud point transition suggest that the scale of molecular intermixing is good. Phase homogeneity was further confirmed using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The X‐ray diffractograms suggest that isomorphism does not exist in the PK99/PEEK blends and that the crystal forms of the respective polymers remain distinct and unchanged by the miscibility in the amorphous region. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of poly(aryl amide imide)s derived from diphenyltrimellitic anhydride

The synthesis and characterization of a series of novel poly(aryl amide imide)s based on diphenyltrimellitic anhydride are described. The poly(aryl amide imide)s, having inherent viscosities of 0.39–1.43 dL/g in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at 30°C, were prepared by polymerization with aromatic diamines in N,N-dimethylacetamide and subsequent chemical imidization. All the polymers were amorphous, readily soluble in aprotic polar solvents such as DMAC, NMP, dimethylsulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, and m-cresol, and could be cast to form flexible and tough films. The glass transition temperatures were in the range of 284–366°C, and the temperatures for 5% weight loss in nitrogen were above 468°C. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Co (II)‐C12 alkyl carbon chain multi‐functional ionic liquid immobilized on nano‐SiO2 nano‐SiO2@CoCl3‐C12IL as an efficient cooperative catalyst for C–H activation by direct acylation of aryl halides with aldehydes

Nano‐silica supported ionic liquids composed of alkyl carbon chain and transition metal chlorides anions have been prepared and successfully applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in the direct aldehyde C‐H activation. Catalytic results indicated that nano‐SiO₂ supported ionic liquid consisting C12 alkyl carbon chain and CoCl₃ anion nano‐SiO₂@CoCl₃‐C12IL showed excellent catalytic properties with good to excellent yields towards the desired aryl ketones. The excellent recyclability of the supported catalyst, mild reaction conditions, low catalyst loading, and operational simplicity are the important features of this methodology.     

Synthesis of diaryl sulfides via nickel ferrite‐catalysed C─S bond formation in green media

NiFe₂O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized, characterized and applied as an air‐stable, inexpensive and magnetically separable nanocatalyst for the synthesis of structurally diverse sulfides. Efficient methodologies were developed for the synthesis of unsymmetric diaryl sulfides via odourless and one‐pot reactions of triphenyltin chloride/S₈ or arylboronic acid/S₈ as thiolating agents with aryl halides or nitroarenes as starting materials in the presence of base (K₂CO₃ or NaOH) and NiFe₂O₄ MNPs as a catalyst in water or poly (ethylene glycol) as solvent at 80–110 °C. Free from ligand and the unpleasant smell of thiols and with the use of magnetically reusable nanocatalyst, green solvents and commercially available and cheap sulfur source and starting materials, these methods are more eco‐friendly and practical than available protocols for the synthesis of sulfides.     

Photoinduced Miyaura Borylation by a Rare‐Earth‐Metal Photoreductant: The Hexachlorocerate(III) Anion

The first photoinduced carbon(sp²)–heteroatom bond forming reaction by a rare‐earth‐metal photoreductant, a Miyaura borylation, has been achieved. This simple, scalable, and novel borylation method that makes use of the hexachlorocerate(III) anion ([Ce^IIICl₆]^3?, derived from CeCl₃) has a broad substrate scope and functional‐group tolerance and can be conducted at room temperature. Combined with Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling, the method is applicable to the synthesis of various biaryl products, including through the use of aryl chloride substrates.     

Direct Access to Aryl Bis(trifluoromethyl)carbinols from Aryl Bromides or Fluorosulfates: Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylation

A palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative approach for the direct conversion of (hetero)aryl bromides into their α,α‐bis(trifluoromethyl)carbinols is described, and it employs only stoichiometric amounts of carbon monoxide and trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane. In addition, aryl fluorosulfates proved highly compatible with these reaction conditions. The method is tolerant of a diverse set of functional groups, and it is adaptable to late‐stage carbon‐isotope labeling.

DFT calculations suggest an activating model involving an alkali cation Li⁺.
