Abstract An efficient, regioselective, one-pot and two-step synthesis of ,-hydroxy 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from a wide range of non-activated terminal alkynes and epoxides and sodium azide by way of a three-component click reaction using a catalytic amount of [meso -tetrakis(o -chlorophenyl)porphyrinato]copper(II) (5,mol%) in excellent isolated yields is described. The reactions were performed in water as a green solvent at ambient temperature without any additives. By performing two reaction steps in one pot and purifying only at the final step, this procedure excludes any interim purification of in situ generated organic azide intermediates, which significantly improves the overall yield and reduces the reaction time. To benefit from the recovery and reuse of the catalyst, a new heterogeneous catalyst was prepared by simple and successful impregnation of the catalyst onto activated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (AMWCNT). The heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic forced microscopy (AFM), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis to estimate the amount of nitrogen adsorption, and Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy. Leaching experiments after ten successive cycles showed that the catalyst is most strongly anchored to the AMWCNT support. Mechanistically, porphyrinatocopper catalyzes each step of the reaction in different ways as a bifunctional catalyst including epoxide ring opening by azide delivery to epoxide, forming in situ generated 2-azido alcohols followed by activation of the CC triple bond of the starting terminal alkynes by forming a porphyrinatocopper-acetylide intermediate and thereby promoting the [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction as the key step to form the triazole framework.

Grafting of Molecularly Ordered Mesoporous Phenylene-Silica with Molybdenum Carbonyl Complexes: Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Epoxidation of Olefins

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 10 2010

Abstract Arenetricarbonyl complexes, or the general formula C6H4Mo(CO)3, were incorporated into crystal-like mesoporous phenylene-silica by liquid-phase deposition of molybdenum hexacarbonyl [Mo(CO)6]. By adjusting the reaction conditions, different molybdenum loadings of 1.5 and 5.9,wt% were obtained, which correspond to 3% and 14% of the phenylene contents. The texture properties of the materials as well as the nature of the surface-fixed complexes were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption, FT-IR, UV-vis and MAS (13C, 29Si) NMR spectroscopy. The derivatized organosilicas were examined as catalyst precursors for the liquid-phase epoxidation of cis -cyclooctene, 1-octene, trans -2-octene and (R)-(+)-limonene at 55,°C, using tert -butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant. For each olefin the corresponding epoxide was the only product detected. In the case of cyclooctene, the intrinsic reaction rates per surface molybdenum atom were similar for both Mo loadings (TOF,1150 mol,molMo,1,h,1), suggesting that the resultant materials act as single site epoxidation catalysts. Leaching tests and metal analyses of reaction solutions showed that the catalytic activity stemmed from the immobilized species and not from the leaching of active species into solution. The oxidation of limonene gave limonene oxide as the only product in 95% yield at 3,h, which reveals an outstanding regioselectivity to the epoxidation of the endocyclic double bond. [source]

Efficient Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols using a Hydrotalcite-Supported Gold Nanoparticle Catalyst

Takato Mitsudome
Abstract Hydrotalcite-supported gold nanoparticles (Au/HT) were found to be a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols under mild reaction conditions (40,°C, in air). This catalyst system does not require any additives and is applicable to a wide range of alcohols, including less reactive cyclohexanol derivatives. This Au/HT catalyst could also function in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol under neat conditions; the turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) reached 200,000 and 8,300,h,1, respectively. These values are among the highest values compared to those of other reported catalyst systems at high conversion. Moreover, the Au/HT can be recovered by simple filtration and reused without any loss of its activity and selectivity. [source]

Oxidant-Free Dehydrogenation of Alcohols Heterogeneously Catalyzed by Cooperation of Silver Clusters and Acid,Base Sites on Alumina

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 10 2009
Ken-ichi Shimizu Dr.
Abstract Trifunctional green catalysis: In-depth characterization shows that oxidant-free selective oxidation of alcohols by silver nanoparticles on ,-Al2O3, as a new heterogeneous catalyst, proceeds through cooperation of silver, acid, and base sites (see figure). A ,-alumina-supported silver cluster catalyst,Ag/Al2O3,has been shown to act as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for oxidant-free alcohol dehydrogenation to carbonyl compounds at 373,K. The catalyst shows higher activity than conventional heterogeneous catalysts based on platinum group metals (PGMs) and can be recycled. A systematic study on the influence of the particle size and oxidation state of silver species, combined with characterization by Ag,K-edge XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) has established that silver clusters of sizes below 1,nm are responsible for the higher specific rate. The reaction mechanism has been investigated by kinetic studies (Hammett correlation, kinetic isotope effect) and by in situ FTIR (kinetic isotope effect for hydride elimination reaction from surface alkoxide species), and the following mechanism is proposed: 1),reaction between the alcohol and a basic OH group on the alumina to yield alkoxide on alumina and an adsorbed water molecule, 2),CH activation of the alkoxide species by the silver cluster to form a silver hydride species and a carbonyl compound, and 3),H2 desorption promoted by an acid site in the alumina. The proposed mechanism provides fundamental reasons for the higher activities of silver clusters on acid,base bifunctional support (Al2O3) than on basic (MgO and CeO2) and acidic to neutral (SiO2) ones. This example demonstrates that catalysts analogous to those based on of platinum group metals can be designed with use of a less expensive d10 element,silver,through optimization of metal particle size and the acid,base natures of inorganic supports.

Novel Solid Acid Catalysts: Sulfonic Acid Group-Functionalized Mesostructured Polymers,

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 14 2007
R. Xing
Abstract Novel solid acid catalysts have been prepared from Fudan University (FDU)-type mesoporous polymers with the Ia d and P6mm mesostructures through a carefully controlled sulfonation procedure. Various techniques have been adopted to characterize throughout their structures, porosity, acidity as well as the information related to the sulfonic acid groups. The sulfonic acid group-functionalized mesopolymers prove to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts in the reactions such as liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime and condensation of ethylene glycol with the aldehydes having different molecular sizes.

Polymer-supported palladium complexes with C,N-ligands as efficient recoverable catalysts for the Heck reaction

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 9 2010
Yu-xia Liu
Abstract A series of new polymer-supported palladium complexes with C,N-ligands (1a,e and 2a,c) were easily synthesized. The synthesized catalysts could be applied as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the Heck coupling reaction (turnover frequency up to 12 600 h,1). Additionally, the catalysts could be recovered by a simple filtration progress and could be reused for at least five times with a slow progressive decrease in activity.
