氢键的协同作用驱动水中苯甲醛的合成

以环氧氯丙烷作为交联溶剂合成和表征了纤维素功能化的β-环糊精，考察了这种超分子聚合物作为一种多相催化剂用于苯甲醛的合成的催化性能. 结果表明，该催化剂在温和的反应条件下具有较高的催化活性和选择性，容易恢复和重新利用，且活性没有大的损失. 进一步研究指出，β-环糊精聚合物中的b-环糊精能通过非极性共价键与肉桂醛形成主客包结物，此外，β-环糊精和纤维素的功能基团能与肉桂醛通过O-H…O的氢键形成多重氢键的相互作用，这种氢键的协同作用明显提高了催化剂的性能.

Synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding mediated selective synthesis of benzaldehyde in water

β-cyclodextrin-functionalized cellulose was prepared from cellulose and β-cyclodextrin crosslinked with epichlorohydrin. The supramolecular polymer has been used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzaldehyde under mild reaction conditions with high activity and yield. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused without significant activity loss. The β-cyclodextrin in the polymer formed host-guest complexes with cinnamaldehyde via noncovalent bonding. In addition, multiple interactions were observed between β-cyclodextrin and the substrate via intermolecular O-H…O hydrogen bonding. The significant promotion for the catalytic performance could be attributed to the synergistic effects of hydrogen bonding.
