An Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for N-Alkylation of Amines and β-Alkylation of Secondary Alcohols with Primary Alcohols: SBA-15 Supported N-Heterocyclic Carbene Iridium Complex
Sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate (NaOCl·5H2O) is capable of oxidizing alcohols in acetonitrile at 20 °C without the use of catalysts. The oxidation is selective to allylic, benzylic, and secondary alcohols. Aliphatic primary alcohols are not oxidized.
Solid supports functionalized with molecular metal catalysts combine many of the advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. A (NNN)Ru-incorporated porous organic polymer (POP-bp/bbpRuCl3) exhibited high catalytic efficiency and broad functional group tolerance in the C–C cross-coupling of secondary and primary alcohols to give β-alkylated secondary alcohols. This catalyst demonstrated excellent durability during successive recycling without leaching of Ru which is ascribed to the strong binding of the pincer ligands to the metal ions.
Two different class of ruthenium complexes, namely, [1-mesityl-3-(2,6-Me2-phenylacetamido)-imidazol-2-ylidene]Ru(p-cymene)Cl (1c) and {[1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-3-(2,6-Me2-phenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene]Ru(p-cymene)Cl}Cl (2c), successfully carried out the one-pot tandem alcohol-alcohol coupling reactions of a variety of secondary and primary alcohols, in...
