AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method for producing chiral Vedejs-type DMAP catalysts has been developed, focusing on the amination of 4-chloropyridine derivatives.
  • The synthesis involves using specific ZnCl(amine) complexes to ensure efficiency in the process.
  • Mechanistic studies indicate that a Zn(II)-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution occurs, allowing for the effective replacement of chlorine with an amine group.

Article Abstract

A scalable synthesis of chiral Vedejs-type DMAP catalysts is reported. The key step of the synthesis is amination of the enantiomerically pure 4-chloropyridine derivative using well-defined ZnCl(amine) complexes. A series of Zn(II)-amine complexes have been synthesized to explore the scope of the ZnCl-mediated amination of 4-halopyridines. Mechanistic studies support a Zn(II)-facilitated nucleophilic aromatic substitution as a plausible mechanism for the chlorine-to-amine exchange.

Among the various studies on CO utilization, the sustainable and cost-effective fixation of CO into cyclic carbonates remains one of the most intriguing subjects. To this end, a novel type of composite dicationic ionic liquid material, DIL@PDIL, was developed. This composite consists of a dicationic ionic liquid (DIL), DMAP[TMGH]Br, supported on a polymeric dicationic ionic liquid (PDIL), P-DVB/Im[TMGH]Br.

Repurposing First-Row Transition Metal Carbon Dioxide Reduction Electrocatalysts for Electrochemical Carboxylation of Benzyl Chloride.

ACS Org Inorg Au

Carbon dioxide (CO) is an abundant and useful C feedstock for electrocarboxylation, a process that incorporates a carboxyl moiety into an organic molecule. In this work, three first-row transition metal CO reduction electrocatalysts, NiPDI (), NiTPA (), and Fe(salenCl) (), were explored as electrocarboxylation catalysts with benzyl chloride as a substrate. The cyclic voltammograms of all three catalysts showed current enhancements in the presence of benzyl chloride under a CO atmosphere.

Silica materials, natural and synthetic variants, represent a promising material for the application in heterogeneous organocatalysis due to their readily modifiable surface and chemical inertness. To achieve high catalyst loadings, usually, porous carriers with high surface areas are used, such as silica monoliths or spherical particles for packed bed reactors. While these commercial materials were shown to be efficient supports, their synthesis is elaborate, and thus less complex and cheaper alternatives are of interest, especially considering scaling up for potential applications.

Analysis of Water Adsorption Capacity, Thermal Behavior, Antioxidant Activity, and Smoke Volume by Polyol Ester in Reconstituted Tobacco.

ACS Omega

November 2024

Flavors and Fragrance Engineering & Technology Research Center of Henan Province, College of Tobacco Science, Henan Agricultural University, No. 218, Ping'an Avenue, Zhengdong New District, Zhengzhou 450046, P. R. China.

A series of ester derivatives with hydroxyl groups were created by esterification of 1,2-propanediol and glycerol with -toluoyl chloride via the catalyst 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). All the compounds were verified using nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR, C NMR), infrared spectroscopy, and high resolution mass spectrometry. Moisture absorption and desorption experiments were carried out on the compounds' pure systems and their systems in reconstituted tobacco, while their hygroscopicity and moisturizing properties were evaluated using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.

Hydride abstraction from the borane adduct, (BICAAC) ⋅ BH afforded the hydride bridged dinuclear borenium ion equivalent complexes 1 and 2 that have been characterized by various spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques followed by the assessment of Lewis acidity using the Gutmann-Beckett method. The single crystal X-ray structure of complex 2 revealed the presence of discrete ions in the solid state. The complex (BICAAC) ⋅ BH(OTf) (3), obtained from the reaction of (BICAAC) ⋅ BH with MeOTf, formed the corresponding boronium cations [(BICAAC) ⋅ BH(L)](OTf) on reaction with Lewis bases (L= pyridine (4) and DMAP (5)).
