carboxylic acids, such as benzoic acid, boost the activity of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts in the oxidative esterification of aldehydes. A simple and efficient protocol for the transformation of a wide range of sterically hindered α- and β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes/enals, catalyzed by a novel and readily accessible N-Mes-/N-2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 1,2,4-triazolium salt, and benzoic acid as co-catalyst
我们报告发现简单的羧酸,如苯甲酸,可以提高 N-杂环卡宾 (NHC) 催化剂在醛的氧化酯化中的活性。一种简单有效的转化各种位阻α-和β-取代脂肪醛/烯醛的简单有效方案,由一种新型且易于获得的N-Mes-/N-2,4,6-三氯苯基1,2催化,4-三唑鎓盐和苯甲酸作为助催化剂被开发出来。一系列迄今为止不适合 NHC 催化酯化的 α/β-取代的脂肪族醛/烯醛可以在 0.02-1.0 mol% 的典型催化剂负载下反应。对于苯甲醛,即使是 0.005 mol% 的 NHC 催化剂也证明是足够的:NHC 催化中达到的最低值。
