mn(ii) salen complex immobilized on nano silicagel was prepared by incorporating mn(ii) salen complex into a nanosilica matrix and characterized by tga, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy and was successfully applied as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. oxidation of a series of alcohols in acetonitrile over immobilized mn(ii) salen complex using tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate (tbao...

A method for the continuous preparation of alcohols by hydroboration/oxidation of olefins using flow techniques is described. The process allows the isolation of up to 120 mmol h(-1) of the desired alcohol in a very rapid manner with good functional group tolerance. The flow setup can be modified to perform a continuous extraction of the desired alcohol from the biphasic mixture produced by the...

The preparation of polymer-supported allyltin reagents was shown to be possible for both unfunctionalized and functionalized allyl units. These reagents were treated with aldehydes in the presence of cerium(III) or indium(III) salts to afford high yields of homoallylic alcohols, practically uncontaminated with organotin residues (less than 5 ppm). Some mechanism aspects are briefly discussed an...

A mild, efficient and fast method for the trimethylsilyl (TMS), tetrahydropyranyl (THP) and methoxymethyl (MOM) protection of alcohols and phenols in the presence of sulfonated rice husk ash (RHA-SO3H) is reported. All reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. All the products are separated and compared with authentic samples and/ or identified using different ty...

Several possible routes to obtain an optically active trityl system have been studied. Model systems, using triphenylcarbinol and 4-bromo-^1-chlorotriphenylcarbinol, were employed. Several routes to break down the glycolic acid derivatives of these alcohols were studied. These involve the preparation of the silver salt of the acid and its reaction with bromine; the reaction of the acid with mer...

The application of polystyrene-immobilized proline-based catalysts in packed-bed reactors for the continuous-flow, direct, enantioselective α-aminoxylation of aldehydes is described. The system allows the easy preparation of a series of β-aminoxy alcohols (after a reductive workup) with excellent optical purity and with an effective catalyst loading of ca. 2.5% (four-fold reduction compared to ...

An environmentally benign and practical preparation method for the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent (VH) has been developed by using phthaloyl dichloride with DMF in toluene or 2-chlorotoluene. Phthalic anhydride as the byproduct was recovered in high yield by simple filtration. Some aromatic acids have been transformed into the corresponding acid chlorides in good yields by employing the isolated VH. T...
