Stoichiometric and catalytic chemical transformations may be carried out in solution using novel fluorous multiphase systems (FMS). "Fluorous" denotes a carbon-fluorine bond rich organic molecule derived by replacing hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms with fluorine. The FMS consists of a fluorous phase containing a fluorous solvent, typically a fluorocarbon or a fluorohydrocarbon (with or without substituent groups), and a reagent or a catalyst containing a sufficient number of fluorous moieties to render it preferentially soluble in the fluorous solvent and located at the interface of the fluorous and nonfluorous phases. The nonfluorous (i.e. the second) solvent, may be any known organic or nonorganic solvent(s) with limited or no solubility in the fluorous solvent that is effective for dissolving the reactants and/or separating the reaction products (e.g., a nonfluorous solvent having a Hildebrand solubility parameter of at least about 18.0 MPa½). The reaction can occur simultaneously in the fluorous phase and at the interface of the phases. The FMS reagents and FMS catalysts contain sufficient number of fluorous moieties to render them preferentially soluble into the fluorous phase and at the interface without impairing the efficacy or participation of the catalyst or reagent in the reaction which is maintained in a liquid or fluid phase. The preferred fluorous moieties are linear, branched and carbocyclic fluorocarbon alkyl chains with high carbon numbers that enable the catalyst or reagent to remain fluorous-phase compatible. The fluorous moieties may also contain O, S, N, P, As and Si, that assist in rendering the catalysts and reagents fluorous phase compatible. The FMS reagents and catalysts can be prepared by (1) fluorination (i.e., replacement of C-H bonds with fluorine); (2) fluorofunctionalization, e.g., the attachment of fluorous moieties to the reagents or catalysts; or (3) by total synthesis.
The fluorous multiphase systems have utility to facilitate the separation of the FMS catalyst or spent FMS reagent, which has utility in the design and synthesis of catalysts and reagents with high product selectivity, resulting in especially environmentally friendly processes.
利用新型多相系统(FMS)可以在溶液中进行化学计量和催化化学转化。氟 "是指通过用氟取代与碳原子结合的氢原子而得到的富含碳-氟键的有机分子。FMS 由一个含氟相和一个试剂或催化剂组成,前者含有氟溶剂,通常是碳氟化合物或碳氢化合物(带或不带取代基),后者含有足够数量的氟分子,使其优先溶于氟溶剂,并位于氟相和非氟相的界面上。非流相(即第二种)溶剂可以是任何已知的有机或无机溶剂,它们在流相溶剂中的溶解度有限或没有溶解度,但对溶解反应物和/或分离反应产物有效(例如,希尔德布兰德溶解度参数至少为约 18.0 MPa½的非流相溶剂)。反应可同时在流相和两相界面上进行。FMS 试剂和 FMS 催化剂含有足够数量的含氟分子,使其优先溶解在含氟相和界面中,而不影响催化剂或试剂在液相或流体相中反应的功效或参与。优选的含氟分子为高碳原子数的线性、支链和碳环氟碳烷基链,可使催化剂或试剂保持氟相相容性。多孔分子还可能含有 O、S、N、P、As 和 Si,有助于使催化剂和试剂具有多孔相容性。氟多相试剂和催化剂可通过以下方法制备:(1) 氟化(即用氟取代 C-H 键);(2) 氟官能化,例如在试剂或催化剂上附着多孔分子;或 (3) 全合成。
氟多相系统可用于促进氟化烃催化剂或废氟化烃试剂的分离,这在设计和合成具有高产品选择性的催化剂和试剂方面非常有用,可产生特别环保的工艺。
