Mesoporous Zr-Beta exhibits a remarkable catalytic activity and regio-selectivity to β-amino alcohols in epoxide aminolysis. Intra-crystalline mesopores greatly promote the reaction through enhanced mass transfer and suppress the catalytic deactivation.

Anhydrous titanium(III) chloride was found to be a simple and efficient Lewis acid catalyst for ring opening of epoxides at ambient temperature. The reaction proceeded smoothly with anilines as well as azide ion as nucleophiles to give the corresponding β-amino alcohols and β-azido alcohols in moderate to good yields.

A new class of Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions is described that complements existing protocols for related ring-closing, ring-opening, and intermolecular transformations. These transannular carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions rely on FeCl<sub>3</sub> as an inexpensive Lewis acid catalyst and are mechanistically distinct from previously developed protocols for ring closing, ring-opening and intermolecular metathesis. Specifically, carbonyl-ene and carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction paths are competing to ultimately favor metathesis as the thermodynamic product. Importantly, we show that distinct Lewis acid catalysts are able to differentiate between these pathways to enable the selective formation of transannular carbonyl-ene or carbonyl-olefin metathesis products thus providing a valuable approach to the molecular editing of naturally occurring complex molecules. Additionally, these results are expected to enable further advances in catalyst design for carbonyl-olefin metathesis to ultimately develop efficient and high-yielding catalytic carbonyl olefination reactions.

Polystyrene sulfonate polymer brushes, grown on the interior of the microchannels in a microreactor, have been used for the anchoring of gallium as a Lewis acid catalyst. Initially, gallium-containing polymer brushes were grown on a flat silicon oxide surface and were characterized by FTIR, ellipsometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS revealed the presence of one gallium per 2–3 styrene sulfonate groups of the polymer brushes. The catalytic activity of the Lewis acid-functionalized brushes in a microreactor was demonstrated for the dehydration of oximes, using cinnamaldehyde oxime as a model substrate, and for the formation of oxazoles by ring closure of ortho-hydroxy oximes. The catalytic activity of the microreactor could be maintained by periodic reactivation by treatment with GaCl3.
