From designer Lewis acid to designer Brønsted acid towards more reactive and selective acid catalysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This review focuses on the development of acid catalysis for selective organic transformations conducted in our laboratories for the past 30 years. Several important concepts in designing of catalysts are described with some examples. Further, recent developments in super Brønsted acid and their applications in a one-pot procedure to construct complex molecules with high diastereoselectivities are described.(Communicated by Hitosi NOZAKI, M.J.A.).

Recent Advance of ‘Combined Acid’ Strategy for Asymmetric Catalysis
One possible way to take advantage of such abilities may be to apply a ‘combined acids system’ [2] to the catalyst design. The concept of combined acids, which can be classified into Brønsted acid-assisted Lewis acid (BLA), Lewis acid-assisted Lewis acid (LLA), Lewis acid-assisted Brønsted acid (LBA), and Brønsted acid-assisted Brønsted acid (BBA), can be a particularly useful tool for the desi...
متن کاملSilica Boron Sulfonic Acid as Heterogeneous and Highly Efficient Solid Acid Catalyst For the Preparation of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines Under Solvent-Free
Silica boron sulfonic acid [SiO2–B(OSO3H)3] as an inexpensive, reusable, and Lewis and Brønsted acid catalyst was successfully synthesized, and used for the one-pot three-components synthesis of biologically active substituted Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives in the absence of solvent at 90ºC. Silica boron sulfonic acid is attractive and efficient, because it plays in two role as a Lew...
متن کامل1 Lewis Acid – Brønsted Base Catalysis
From the synthetic point of view, organic synthesis via catalytic processes offers many benefits. Catalysis frequently obviates the excessive use of the activating reagents and associated tedious purification processes, thereby offering more environmentally benign synthetic processes. Furthermore, the specific activation mode of a catalyst allows for highly chemoselective transformations that a...
متن کاملEnantioselective bromocycloetherification by Lewis base/chiral Brønsted acid cooperative catalysis.
A binary catalyst system for the enantioselective bromocycloetherification of 5-arylpentenols is described. The combination of an achiral Lewis base and a chiral Brønsted acid affords good enantioselectivities for the cyclization of Z configured 5-arylpentenols to form bromomethyltetrahydrofurans. The constitutional site selectivity is highly dependent upon the aromatic substituent and the conf...
متن کامل5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) Production from Hexoses: Limits of Heterogeneous Catalysis in Hydrothermal Conditions and Potential of Concentrated Aqueous Organic Acids as Reactive Solvent System
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is an important bio-sourced intermediate, 17 formed from carbohydrates such as glucose or fructose. The treatment at 150–250 °C of 18 glucose or fructose in pure water and batch conditions, with catalytic amounts of most of 19 the usual acid-basic solid catalysts, gave limited yields in 5-HMF, due mainly to the fast 20 formation of soluble oligomers. Niobic acid,...
