Abietic acid and its derivatives have broadly been used in fine chemicals and are renewable resources. Its inherent chiral rigid tricyclic phenanthrene skeleton is unique. Its utilities in asymmetric catalysis remain to be explored. A series new amide-type chiral quaternary ammoniums bearing dehydroabietylamine were designed, and prepared by two convenient steps. Acylation of dehydroabietylamine with bromoacetyl chloride afforded amide holding bromoacetyl group in higher yields using triethyl amine as base. Subsequent quaternization reaction gave the desired amide-type chiral quaternary ammoniums. The new chiral quaternary ammoniums can be used as phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) for the transition metal-catalysed alkynylation of isatin derivatives.

Bimetallic and cluster rhodium carbonyl complexes catalyze the biphasic reduction of nitro compounds under mild conditions (using CO/5 M NaOH, C6H6 or PhCH3). Rate studies indicate the sensitivity of the reaction to the nature of the organic substrate, base concentration, and the temperature. A previously observed bimetallic (Co2(CO)8 and (1,5-HDRhCl)2) and phase transfer catalyzed [R4N+X−] reduction of nitro compounds was found to be a consequence of the inhibition and reactivation of the true catalyst by the quaternary ammonium salt and cobalt carbonyl, respectively.

This study investigates the reactivity of phenol allylation using quaternary ammonium salt as a phase-transfer catalyst in three types of membrane reactors. Optimum reactivity and turnover of phenol allylation were obtained using a respond surface methodology. The contact angle, water content, and degree of crosslinkage were measured to understand the microenvironment in the ion exchange membrane.
