Manganese (III)-Bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-Methyl-1,2-Phenylenediimine (Mn-BSMP) as an Inexpensive N2O2 Type Schiff Base Catalyst for Oxidative Decarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids with (n-Bu4NIO4) in the Presence of Imidazol

In this study, bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-methyl-1,2-phenylenediimine (BSMP) as a Schiff base ligand of N2O2-type and its Mn and Fe complex as M-BSMP catalyst were synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The efficiency of Fe- and Mn-BSMP catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with tetra...

PolyVinylPolyPyrrolidone-Supported Boron Trifluoride (PVPP-BF3); Highly Efficient Catalyst for Oxidation of Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids and Esters by H2O2

A highly efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using PolyVinylPolyPyrrolidone supported - Boron Trifluoride (PVPP-BF3) in the presence of 35% hydrogen peroxide has been developed in acetonitrile at 60 °C. This procedure cleanly oxidizes variety of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Oxidative esterification of benzaldeh...

Cp2TiCl2-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with CO2: formation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids

a,b-Unsaturated carboxylic acids are important chemicals, and can be used as basic materials in the production of plastics, superabsorbent, polymers, and rubbers. Various synthetic methodologies for their synthesis have been developed, for example, oxidation of propene over heterogeneous catalysts at high temperature yielded the a,b-unsaturated carboxylic acids and hydrocarboxylation of alkynes...

Unprecedented copper-mediated oxidative demethylation of propionamides via bidentate-chelation assistance.

A copper-mediated directed demethylation of propionamides has been developed. This reaction proceeds predominantly at the α-methyl groups of aliphatic amides with high efficiency and provides a unique tool for the direct cleavage of unactivated C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bonds. The directing groups can be smoothly removed to afford the corresponding alkyl carboxylic acids.
