    The Structure of the First Supramolecular ,-Cyclodextrin Complex with an Aliphatic Monofunctional Carboxylic Acid

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 26 2007
    Saddys Rodríquez-Llamazares
    Abstract The crystal structure of the supramolecular complex between ,-cyclodextrin and decanoic acid was determined: The aliphatic chain of the carboxylic acid is threaded through a head-to-head dimer of two cyclodextrin residues, resulting in a 1:2 stoichiometry. Head-to-head orientation is also observed between neighboring complexes. The overall degree of hydration with 25 water molecules per supramolecular complex is remarkably high.

    Variable-Temperature Powder X-ray Diffraction of Aromatic Carboxylic Acid and Carboxamide Cocrystals

    CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 4 2007
    L. Sreenivas Reddy
    Abstract The effect of temperature on the cocrystallization of benzoic acid (BA), pentafluorobenzoic acid (FBA), benzamide (BAm), and pentafluorobenzamide (FBAm) is examined in the solid state. BA and FBA formed a 1:1 complex 1 at ambient temperature by grinding with a mortar and pestle. Grinding FBA and BAm together resulted in partial conversion into the 1:1 adduct 2 at 28,°C and complete transformation into the product cocrystal at 78,°C. Further heating (80,100,°C) and then cooling to room temperature gave a different powder pattern from that of 2. BAm and FBAm hardly reacted at ambient temperature, but they afforded the 1:1 cocrystal 3 by melt cocrystallization at 110,115,°C. Both BA+FBAm (4) and BA+BAm (5) reacted to give new crystalline phases upon heating, but the structures of these products could not be determined owing to a lack of diffraction-quality single crystals. The stronger COOH and CONH2 hydrogen-bonding groups of FBA and FBAm yielded the equimolar cocrystal 6 at room temperature, and heating of these solids to 90,100,°C gave a new crystalline phase. The X-ray crystal structures of 1, 2, 3, and 6 are sustained by the acid,acid/amide,amide homosynthons or acid,amide heterosynthon, with additional stabilization from phenyl,perfluorophenyl stacking in 1 and 3. The temperature required for complete transformation into the cocrystal was monitored by in,situ variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD), and formation of the cocrystal was confirmed by matching the experimental peak profile with the simulated diffraction pattern. The reactivity of H-bonding groups and the temperature for cocrystallization are in good agreement with the donor and acceptor strengths of the COOH and CONH2 groups. It was necessary to determine the exact temperature range for quantitative cocrystallization in each case because excessive heating caused undesirable phase transitions. [source]


    Drastic Solid-State Fluorescence Enhancement Behaviour of Phenanthro[9,10- d]imidazole-Type Fluorescent Hosts upon Inclusion of Carboxylic Acids

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 34 2009
    Yousuke Ooyama
    Abstract The crystals of phenanthro[9,10- d]imidazole-type fluorescent host 1 exhibit drastic fluorescence enhancement behaviour with a redshift in the emission maximum upon enclathration of various carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid. The optical changes are greatly dependent on the identity of the enclathrated carboxylic acids. The fluorescent clathrate compounds are formed not only by cocrystallization from carboxylic acid solutions but also by solid (fluorescent host),gas (carboxylic acid vapour) contact. Furthermore, when the acetic acid inclusion crystals are exposed to propionic acid vapour, acetic acid is gradually replaced by propionic acid. The guest exchange of the inclusion crystals was accompanied with colour and fluorescent intensity changes. The X-ray structural analyses of the guest-free and carboxylic acid inclusion compounds demonstrated that the destructions of the ,,, interactions, and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds binding fluorophores were induced by the enclathrated carboxylic acid molecules. Moreover, the imidazole ring of the host is protonated by the enclathrated carboxylic acid proton. On the basis of the spectroscopic data and the crystal structures, the effects of the enclathrated carboxylic acid on the solid-state photophysical properties of the clathrate compounds are discussed.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Reaction of Carboxylic Acids with Isocyanides: A Mechanistic DFT Study

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 28 2008
    Tommaso Marcelli
    Abstract We present a computational investigation of the reaction between isocyanides and carboxylic acids. Our results indicate that this reaction begins with a stereoselective concerted ,-addition of the acid to the isocyanide, leading exclusively to a Z -acyl imidate. Isomerization to the E isomer and successive rate-limiting 1,3 O,N acyl migration yields an N -formyl imide. The calculated barriers are in good agreement with the experimental reaction conditions. Our results might provide an explanation for the peculiar reactivity observed when this reaction is carried out in a self-assembled capsule. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Metal-Free and Copper-Promoted Single-Pot Hydrocarboxylation of Cycloalkanes to Carboxylic Acids in Aqueous Medium

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 17 2009
    Marina
    Abstract A simple and effective method for the transformation, under mild conditions and in aqueous medium, of various cycloalkanes (cyclopentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, cis - and trans -1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane and adamantane) into the corresponding cycloalkanecarboxylic acids bearing one more carbon atom, is achieved. This method is characterized by a single-pot, low-temperature hydrocarboxylation reaction of the cycloalkane with carbon monoxide, water and potassium peroxodisulfate in water/acetonitrile medium, proceeding either in the absence or in the presence of a metal promoter. The influence of various reaction parameters, such as type and amount of metal promoter, solvent composition, temperature, time, carbon monoxide pressure, oxidant and cycloalkane, is investigated, leading to an optimization of the cyclohexane and cyclopentane carboxylations. The highest efficiency is observed in the systems promoted by a tetracopper(II) triethanolaminate-derived complex, which also shows different bond and stereoselectivity parameters (compared to the metal-free systems) in the carboxylations of methylcyclohexane and stereoisomeric 1,2-dimethylcyclohexanes. A free radical mechanism is proposed for the carboxylation of cyclohexane as a model substrate, involving the formation of an acyl radical, its oxidation and consequent hydroxylation by water. Relevant features of the present hydrocarboxylation method, besides the operation in aqueous medium, include the exceptional metal-free and acid-solvent-free reaction conditions, a rare hydroxylating role of water, substrate versatility, low temperatures (ca. 50,°C) and a rather high efficiency (up to 72% carboxylic acid yields based on cycloalkane).

    The Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Lignin to Produce Hydroxyaromatic Benzaldehydes and Carboxylic Acids via Metal/Bromide Catalysts in Acetic Acid/Water Mixtures

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 3 2009
    Walt Partenheimer
    Abstract Roughly 30% of all woody plants is composed of lignin. Five different lignin samples, from wood and bagasse, were oxidized in air with a cobalt/manganese/zirconium/bromide (Co/Mn/Zr/Br) catalyst in acetic acid as a function of time, temperature, pressure, and lignin and catalyst concentrations. 18 products were identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The most valuable products from lignin were 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (vanillic acid), 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (syringaldehyde) and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (syringic acid). 10.9,wt% of the lignin was converted to the aromatic products. By the use of model compounds we demonstrate that 1) the presence of the phenolic functionality on an aromatic ring does inhibit the rate of reaction but that the alkyl group on the ring still does oxidize to the carboxylic acid, 2) that the masking of phenol by acetylation occurs at a reasonable rate in acetic acid, 3) that the alkyl group of the masked phenol does very readily oxidize, 4) that an acetic anhydride/acetic acid mixture is a good oxidation solvent and 5) that a two-step acetylation/oxidation to the carboxylic acid is feasible.

    Selective Oxidation of Alcohols to Carbonyl Compounds and Carboxylic Acids with Platinum Group Metal Catalysts

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 4 2003
    Ross Anderson
    Abstract The use of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts for the selective oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols under mild conditions is described. High throughput screening (HTS) techniques have been used to identify trends in catalyst activity and product selectivity. Using air as oxidant and water as solvent 5% Pt, 1% Bi/C has been identified as an efficient catalyst for the transformation of 2-octanol to 2-octanone and 1-octanol to octanoic acid. To improve aldehyde selectivity the promotion of Pt/Al2O3 and Ru/C catalysts has been investigated. The use of H2O2 as oxidant has been demonstrated as a suitable alternative to air. [source]

    Comparative Study of Copper- and Silver-Catalyzed Protodecarboxylations of Carboxylic Acids

    CHEMCATCHEM, Issue 4 2010
    Lukas
    Abstract The protodecarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids by various copper and silver catalysts is investigated with the help of density functional calculations and experimental studies. The computational results reveal that the catalytic activity of copper(I),1,10-phenanthroline catalysts increases with the introduction of electron-rich substituents at the phenanthroline ligand. They also predicted that for some substrates, silver complexes should possess a substantially higher decarboxylating activity than copper, which is confirmed by experimental studies, leading to the discovery of a silver(I) catalyst that effectively promotes the protodecarboxylation of various carboxylic acids at temperatures in the range of 80,120,°C,more than 50,°C below those of the best known copper(I) catalyst. The scope of the new system complements that of the copper(I)-based method as it includes benzoates for example, with halogen or ether groups in the ortho positions. [source]
