Accelerated Biphasic Hydroformylation by Vesicle Formation of Amphiphilic Diphosphines
摘要:
The synthesis, aggregation behavior, and catalytic activity of rhodium complexes of a series of Xantphos derivatives with surface-active pendant groups, -4-C6H4O(CH2)(n)C6H4(SO3Na)- (n = 0, 3, 6) is described. Electron microscopy experiments show that these ligands and their complexes form vesicles in water if the hydrophobic part of the ligand is large enough (n = 3, 6). The formed aggregates are stable at elevated temperatures (90 degrees C), and their presence lends to a significant enhancement of the solubility of organic substrates in aqueous solution. This enhanced solubility results directly in a higher reaction rate in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-octene. Furthermore, recycling experiments show that the TOF and the high selectivity toward the more valuable linear aldehyde remains approximately the same in four consecutive runs. This indicates that the aggregates stay intact during the recycling and the active rhodium complex is retained in the water-phase quantitatively.

A mild and efficient protocol for O-arylation of alcohols and phenols (ROH) by triarylsulfonium triflates was developed under transition-metal-free conditions. Various alcohols, including primary, secondary and tertiary, and phenols bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl rings were smoothly converted to form the corresponding aromatic ethers in moderate to excellent

Direct cross-dehydrogenative coupling of different inert C−H bonds is the most straightforward and environmentally benign method to construct C−C bonds. In this paper, we developed an iron-catalyzed intramolecular cross-dehydrogenative arylation (CDA) between benzylic C(sp3)H bond and aromaticC(sp2)H bond. From the readily available linear substrates, 1-arylnaphthalenes and 4-arylcoumarins can be
Structure-activity relationship of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor agonist was examined. In terms of reducing the flexibility of molecule, hit compound 1 was modified to improve S1P(1) agonistic activity as well as selectivity over S1P(3) agonistic activity. Novel S1P agonists with cinnamyl scaffold or 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine scaffold were identified. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
