Abstract:

The use of methanesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid for direct ortho-acylation of phenols and naphthols proves to be a convenient, more general and direct route to various hydroxyaryl ketones. The route is regioselective, leading to ortho C-acylated products in satisfactory to high yields in most cases. The solvent free reactions described below exhibited environmentally benign in terms of faster reaction, benign conditions and higher yield of the desired products. The influence of the temperature, the ratios of the reactants and the amounts of MSA were investigated. However, after a 10-18 minute reaction time at 60-100 °C, selectivity to over 98% ortho acylation products was obtained. This method represents an environmentally benign acylation route, because MSA is biodegradable acid which can easily be separated from the reaction mixture via decantation.

Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid as Acylation Catalyst: Special Feature for C- and/or O-Acylation Reactions

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) is one of the superior catalysts for acylation. The catalytic activity of TfOH in Cand/or O-acylation has broadened the use of various substrates under mild and neat or forced conditions. In this review, the salient catalytic features of TfOH are summarized, and the unique controllability of its catalytic activity in the tendency of C-acylation and/or O-acyl...

Synthesis of Naphthopyranopyrimidines Using Formic Acid as an Effective Catalyst under Solvent-free Conditions

An environmentally friendly, one-pot, three-component synthesis of 8,10-dimethyl-12-aryl-12H-naphtho[1′,2′:5,6]pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-9,11-diones was achieved via coupling aromatic of aldehydes, β-naphthol and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil in the presence of formic acid as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 90 °C. This method has several advantages, such as efficiency, good yield, short...

Solvent-Free Synthesis of Aryl Iodide Using Nano SiO2/HIO4 as a Reusable Acid Catalyst

An efficient and environmentally benign   method for the synthesis of aryl iodides have been developed by diazotization of aromatic amines with NaNO2 and nanosilica periodic acid (nano-SPIA) as a green catalyst via grinding followed by a sandmeyer iodination by KI under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The ensuing aryl diazonium salts supported on nano-SPIA were sufficiently stable ...

Facile and mild synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles catalyzed by methanesulfonic acid under solvent-free conditions

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazoles. A series of 1-substituted tetrazole compounds were synthesized from the reaction of various primary amines, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of catalytic amounts of MSA at room temperature. In this protocol, some of the tetrazole derivatives were synth...
