Boric Acid-Functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 as a Novel Superparamagnetically Recoverable Nano Catalyst for Mukaiyama-Aldol Reaction

Authors

Abstract:

We have reported the fabrication of boric acid incorporated into surface of magnetite nanoparticles. The catalyst was characterized using spectroscopic, magnetic and thermal techniques (FT-IR, SEM, XRD, ICP, VSM and TGA). It catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction of a ketene silyl acetal type nucleophile ((1-methoxy-2-methylprop-1-enyloxy) trimethylsilane), and various aldehydes (aromatic, aliphatic, α,β-unsaturated), in acetonitrile and the yields were in the range of 45-98%. Magnetic Fe3O4-boric acid was multi-functional. The Fe3O4 core of the catalyst made easy separation and recycling while its boric acid portion catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Nano size nature of the catalyst increased its activity in a way that boric acid, which is a weak Lewis acid, functioned similar to a more strong one like BF3. Boric acid functionality had the advantage of being moisture insensitive, economically reasonable and environmentally friendly. Furthermore Fe3O4@ SiO2@Boric acid was magnetically recovered via an external permanent magnet and was reused at least 6 times with a negligible change in its activity.

A tandem non-aldol aldol Mukaiyama aldol reaction.

[reaction: see text] A new one-pot tandem aldol process is described in which a secondary epoxy silyl ether is converted into the 1,5-bis-silyloxy-3-alkanone in good yield. Thus, treatment of the epoxy silyl ether 8 with TBSOTf and base affords the silyl enol ether 9 via non-aldol aldol rearrangement and addition of benzaldehyde and TBSOTf gives the ketone 10 with 4:1 syn selectivity. The diast...

Nano-BF3/cellulose as a biodegradable novel catalyst for synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines

Nano-cellulose with high amount of free OH groups could be used as supporting agents for boron trifluoride (BF3). Nano-BF3/cellulose is a solid acid and a biodegradable catalyst which was prepared via reaction of nano-cellulose and BF3. The structure of this catalyst was studied by FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, TGA, XRF and BET. In this research, the synthesis of...

Highly enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction in aqueous conditions using a chiral iron(II) bipyridine catalyst.

A highly enantioselective method for the catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes in aqueous conditions was developed. The desired aldol products were obtained in excellent yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Structural evidence of the pre-catalyst revealed an unprecedented heptadentate Fe(II) complex with the chiral bipyridine ligand.

A new application of nano-graphene oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst in crossed-aldol condensation reaction under solvent-free conditions

Nano-graphene oxide was synthesized by the oxidation of graphite powders. The structural nature of the nano-graphene oxide was characterized by a variety of techniques including XRD, TEM, FT-IR and UV/Vis. The functional groups on its basal planes and edges of nano-grahene oxide play important role in catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of nano-graphene oxide was investigated on Crossed-...
