Mesoporous aluminosilicate-catalyzed allylation of carbonyl compounds and acetals
摘要:
A mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) was found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reaction of both carbonyl compounds and acetals with allylsilanes to afford the corresponding homoallyl silyl ethers and homoallyl alkyl ethers, respectively. Both the mesoporous structure and the presence of aluminum moiety were indispensable for the high catalytic activity of Al-MCM-41. Moreover, Al-MCM-41 could catalyze the reaction of acetals chemoselectively in the presence of the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The solid acid catalyst Al-MCM-41 could be recovered easily by filtration and could be reused three times without a significant loss of catalytic activity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
In the presence of a catalytic amount of mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41), both allyltrimethylsilane and silyl enol ether reacted with various acetals under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding homoallyl ethers and beta-alkoxy ketones, respectively. The catalyst was easily recovered from the reaction mixture and could be reused in the same reaction without a significant loss of catalytic activity. Moreover, Al-MCM-41 exhibited high chemoselectivity for acetal over aldehyde in the reactions. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
