    Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction with anhydrides -Silica supported sulfonic acids as green and efficient heterogeneous catalysts

    No full text
    Since the first paper reported by Friedel and Crafts, the acylation reaction quickly became a fundamental pillar of synthetic organic chemistry at both the academic and industrial levels. In particular, maximum effort has been directed toward the use of solid acid catalysts. Recently the acylation of anisole with acetic anhydride has been carried out with good yield and excellent selectivity by using sulfonic acids tethered onto silica as catalysts. In this work we show the study dealing with the role of different silica supported sulfonic acids in the acylation of aromatics with acetic anhydride, in order to evaluate the effect of the textural properties of the catalysts

    The synthesis of either mono- or bis-adducts via Michael reaction between active methylene compounds and α,β-unsaturated reagents is reported. These processes are catalyzed by two heterogeneous basic catalysts, namely KG-NEt2 and KG-TBD. Both catalysts show good catalytic efficiency and can be reused several times fully preserving their efficiency. The process could be efficiently performed under continuous flow conditions obtaining promising results in term of yield and selectivit

    Silica‐supported propylsulfonic acid is a very good heterogeneous catalyst for the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones to lactones with stoichiometric 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide in 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐ 2‐propanol as solvent

    Oxidation of Hydroquinones to Benzoquinones with Hydrogen Peroxide Using Catalytic Amount of Silver Oxide under Batch and Continuous-flow Conditions

    Silver oxide (Ag2O) can be utilized as heterogeneous catalyst in the oxidation of hydroquinones to the corresponding benzoquinones with 30% aq. H2O2. The catalytic properties of Ag2O have been explored in the model reaction of methylhydroquinone with H2O2 performed under batch conditions. Results show that the reaction can be carried out in high yield and selectivity at room temperature under environmentally friendly conditions. The truly heterogeneous catalyst can be recovered by filtration and reused for at least five times, giving the same excellent results (∼95% yield, ∼98% selectivity). The catalyst can be packed in a tubular reactor and utilized under continuous‐flow conditions giving similar good results
