Surface-Mediated Reactions. 6. Effects of Silica Gel and Alumina on Acid-Catalyzed Reactions
摘要:
Adsorption of a variety of acids to chromatographic silica gel results in substantial enhancement of their catalytic activity-affording easily prepared, environmentally benign heterogeneous acids that are highly effective in mediating a number of processes. This was shown for the isomerization of allene 1 and dimerization of the corresponding 1,3-diene 2; cyclization of (R)-citronellal (5), the related diester 10, and 1,5-cyclooctadiene (15); Rupe rearrangement of alkynol 18; and Friedel-Crafts cyclodehydration of alcohols 21. By contrast, commercially available Nafion-H was significantly less effective as a heterogeneous acid catalyst. Chromatographic alumina displayed enigmatic behavior, showing enhanced acidity on the adsorption of HCl but little or no acidity on the adsorption of a variety of other types of acid. The results are discussed in terms of the surface structures of silica gel and alumina.

and acid-sensitive moieties, particularly polyenes prone to cyclization. The process is also challenging when conducted on a small scale, and moreover, methods for the addition of their deuterated counterparts typically require special techniques, especially when control of stoichiometry is required. Herein is described a readily synthesized and handled reagent class which can accomplish the controlled
