Catalytic Carbonylation of β-Lactones to Succinic Anhydrides
摘要:
A well-defined, highly active and selective catalyst for the synthesis of succinic anhydrides from CO and beta-lactones is reported. At 200 psi of CO, the catalyst [(N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)phenylenediamino)Al(THF)2][Co(CO)4] carbonylates beta-propiolactones to succinic anhydrides in high yield. (R)-beta-Butyrolactone is carbonylated to (S)-methylsuccinic anhydride with clean inversion of stereochemistry, while cis-2,3-dimethyl-beta-propiolactone yields exclusively trans-2,3-dimethylsuccinic anhydride. These data are consistent with a mechanism involving nucleophilic attack by [Co(CO)4]- on the beta carbon of the lactone, followed by CO insertion and anhydride formation.

The present invention is directed to reactor systems and processes for producing acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile derivatives. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the processes comprise the following steps: introducing an epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent to at least one reaction vessel through at least one feed stream inlet; contacting the epoxide reagent and carbon monoxide reagent with a carbonylation catalyst to produce a beta-lactone intermediate; polymerizing the beta-lactone intermediate with an initiator in the presence of a metal cation to produce a polylactone product; heating the polylactone product under thermolysis conditions to produce an organic acid product; optionally esterifying the organic acid product to produce one or more ester products; and reacting the organic acid product and/or ester product with an ammonia reagent under ammoxidation conditions to produce an acrylonitrile product.

text] A readily prepared bimetallic catalyst is capable of effecting epoxide carbonylation to produce beta-lactones at substantially lower CO pressures than previously reported catalyst systems. A functionally diverse array of beta-lactones is produced in excellent yields at CO pressures as low as 1 atm. This procedure allows for epoxide carbonylation on a multigram scale without the requirement of specialized

The PPNCo(CO)(4) and BF(3) x Et(2)O catalyzed carbonylation of simple and functionalized epoxides in DME gives the corresponding beta-lactones regioselectively in good to high yields. The carbonylation occurred selectively at the unsubstituted C-O bond of the epoxide ring, and this reaction tolerates various functional groups such as alkenyl, halide, hydroxy, and alkyl ether.

The present application provides salen indium catalysts of the following general structure wherein R is a coordinating alkoxide comprising at least one coordinating atom that forms a dative bond with In. The mononuclear salen indium catalysts are particularly useful in catalyzing ring-opening polymerizations of cyclic ester monomers, such as lactides. Also provided herein are methods of using the mononuclear salen indium complexes to catalyze polymerization of cyclic ester monomers. Of particular interest is the successful polymerization of lactides using the mononuclear salen indium catalysts to produce poly(lactic acid) having high isotacticity.
