A silica-supported ionic liquid proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for solventless synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide under supercritical conditions, which requires no additional organic solvents either for the reaction or for the separation of product. The effects of reaction time, temperature and other reaction parameters on the reaction are investigated. High yields with excellent selectivity were obtained. The purity of product separated directly by filtration from the reaction mixture, reached 99% without further purification process. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily recovered by filtration and reused over four times with slight loss of its catalytic activity. The process represents a simple, ecologically safer, cost-effective route to cyclic carbonates with high product quality, as well as easy product recovery and catalyst recycling. 相似文献
One kind of novel ionic liquids (ILs) with a tertiary amino moiety and a quaternary ammonium group were synthesized and identified
by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The elemental chemical state and basicity of ILs were determined by XPS and Hammett indicator method, respectively.
Then the catalytic performance of these bi-functional catalysts was investigated in one-step synthesis of dimethyl carbonate
(DMC) from ethylene oxide (EO), carbon dioxide and methanol. The best catalytic performance with 99% EO conversion and a maximum
of 74% DMC selectivity was obtained using [N111,6N11]I as catalyst under optimized reaction conditions. And the catalyst could be reused for several times. Normally, stronger
basicity could be obtained by altering the anions with different nucleophilicity in ILs and a better catalytic activity could
be achieved correspondingly. A mechanism that both the ring opening of epoxide through nucleophilic attacks and the transesterification
play an important role in the reaction was proposed based on experimental results. 相似文献
In this article, a new group of Brønsted acidic task-specific ionic liquids based on benzimidazolium cation was synthesized and used as environmentally benign catalysts for acetalization of aromatic aldehydes with diols. Hammett method had been used to determine the acidity order of these ionic liquids, which was consistent with the catalytic activities observed in acetalization reaction. Maximum substrate conversion of 98% and product selectivity of 100% were obtained using [PSebim]HSO4 as catalyst, which could be reused at least 10 times without obvious loss of catalytic activity. 相似文献
The copolymerization of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) and carbon dioxide was performed in the presence of ionic liquid catalyst.
1-Butyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride, tetrabutylamouim chloride and 1-n-butylpyridinium chloride were used as catalyst for
this reaction carried out in a batch reactor. All the ionic liquid catalysts showed good catalytic activity for the synthesis
of polycarbonates with very low polydispersity, close to 1. The carbonate content, turnover number (TON), and average molecular
weight of the copolymer were affected by the structure of the ionic liquid. High carbon dioxide pressure enhanced TON and
carbonate content because of the increase of carbon dioxide absorption in PGE solution. ZnBr2 and a Zn-Co cyanide complex were also tested as a catalyst and/or cocatalyst for this reaction to compare their catalytic
performance with the imidazolium salt ionic liquids. 相似文献
Concepts to facilitate the conversion of epoxides with carbon dioxide to the corresponding cyclic carbonates commonly focus on the activation of the epoxide. Herein we report a catalytic system which allows the simultaneous activation of carbon dioxide and the epoxide. This convergent activation concept is realized by combining a suitable carbene as catalyst for the carbon dioxide activation with a second catalytic system based on potassium iodide for epoxide activation. Initial experiments showed synergistic effects and thus proving the feasibility of this activation concept. Moreover a standard protocol was developed and the substrate scope under these conditions has been studied. Under mild and solvent‐free conditions 14 epoxides could be converted. The respective cyclic carbonates were obtained in good to excellent yields with selectivities ≥ 99 % after simple filtration.
Ionic liquids have been used as catalysts for Blanc reaction of toluene. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time and dosage of the ionic liquid catalyst have been investigated, and the catalytic performance of different ionic liquid catalysts for toluene chloromethylation was also studied. The reaction was found to proceed under mild conditions with excellent conversion (up to 90%) in the absence of Lewis acids. The ionic liquids could be recycled and reused without loss of their catalytic activities. 相似文献
Synthesis of cyclic carbonate from 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene-1,2-epoxide (VCHO) and carbon dioxide was investigated without using any solvent in the presence of ionic liquid as a catalyst. Ionic liquids based on 1-alkylmethylimidazolium salts of different alkyl groups (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, octyl) and different anions (Cl−, BF4−, PF6−) were used as catalysts. The conversion of VCHO was affected by the structure of the imidazolium salt ionic liquids; the ones with the cations of bulkier alkyl chain length and with more nucleophilic anion showed better reactivity. Reaction temperature, carbon dioxide pressure, and zinc halide cocatalyst enhanced the addition of CO2 to VCHO. Semi-batch operation with continuous supply of carbon dioxide showed higher VCHO conversion than batch operation did. 相似文献
The catalysts of COOH- and SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids mediated metallic salts had been developed for the coupling of carbon dioxide and epoxides
to form cyclic carbonates under mild reaction conditions without using additional organic solvents. The effects of different
ionic liquids, metallic salts, varying the molar ratio of ionic liquid to metallic salt and reaction conditions were examined.
The excellent yield of cyclic carbonates and the high turnover frequencies (TOF) were obtained at the optimum reaction conditions.
In addition, the catalytic system offered high stability and reusability. 相似文献
The Lewis acidic ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate ([BMIM]Cl-nAlCl3) and N-butylpyridinium chloroaluminate ([BPy]Cl-nAlCl3), were used as both catalyst and solvent in Friedel–Crafts acylation of salicylamide with acetyl chloride to 5-acetylsalicylamide. The Lewis acidic ionic liquids, substituting for the conventional carcinogenic nitrobenzene solvent and anhydrous AlCl3 catalyst, showed excellent catalytic activity in the acylation of salicylamide to 5-acetylsalicylamide. When [BMIM]Cl-2AlCl3 was used as the catalyst, the yield of 5-acetylsalicylamide reached 81.3%. When [BPy]-2AlCl3 was used as the catalyst, the maximum yield of 5-acetylsalicylamide was 89.2%. The content of AlCl3 and the structure of the cations in the ionic liquids had synergistic effect on the acylation reaction. 相似文献
The successful alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide was achieved by using a dinuclear zinc Schiff base complex, without forming cyclic carbonate. A remarkable effect of Lewis basic additives on the yield and selectivity of the product was demonstrated. Among the examined Lewis bases, 1,4-dioxane was the best additive, where the copolymerization with the dinuclear zinc Schiff base complex – 1,4-dioxane system produced selectively the perfectly alternating copolymer in high yield. 相似文献
The catalytic applicability of ionic liquids immobilized on various support materials such as silica, polystyrene and biopolymers in the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxides is reviewed in this work. Comparisons of the catalytic efficiency of these various catalysts have been done from the aspect of turnover number and reusability. The studies revealed that ionic liquids or support materials possessing hydrogen bonding capable groups exhibited enhanced catalytic activity towards cyclic carbonate synthesis. Moreover, the increased quest towards environmentally benign materials has renewed the search for biocompatible materials as support for ionic liquids. 相似文献
The catalytic performance of some quaternary ammonium salts for the liquid phase reaction of butanol and hydrochloric acid at different conditions was studied experimentally and compared with the traditional catalyst (ZnCl2). The organic ammonium catalysts investigated include ionic liquids N-butyl-N-methyl imidazolium fluoborate ([BMIM][BF4]) and N-butyl-N-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) as well as hydrochloric salts of N-methylimidazol ([HMIM]Cl), pyridine ([HPy]Cl) and triethylamine ([HEt3N]Cl). It is shown that the intrinsic catalytic performance of all organic ammonium salts except [HEt3N]Cl is slightly superior to ZnCl2, while the selectivity of butyl chloride is nearly at the same level around 96%. The conversion of butanol increases slightly with temperature and the catalyst amount added while the variation of selectivity is not obvious. Based on the recycle experiments, the ionic liquids as catalyst for the reaction of butanol and hydrochloric acid can be used more than 5 times, which suggests great potential of using ionic liquids as novel catalyst for such reactions. 相似文献
Three polystyrene‐supported N‐heterocyclic carbene–silver complexes [PS‐NHC‐Ag(I)] and a polystyrene‐supported N‐heterocyclic carbene–copper complex [PS‐NHC‐Cu(I)] catalyst were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma‐atom emission spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron micrographs. The catalytic activity of the supported catalysts was investigated for the reaction of propargylic alcohols and carbon dioxide. PS‐NHC‐Cu(I) showed no catalytic activity to the reaction, while PS‐NHC‐Ag(I) showed a considerable high activity and selectivity for the reaction, yielding the corresponding α‐alkylidene cyclic carbonates in high to excellent yields under mild conditions. Most importantly, the supported catalysts could be separated easily from the products and reused up to 15 times without loss of their high catalytic activity, showing excellent stability. The effect of various reaction parameters such as carbon dioxide pressure, temperature, time, and catalyst loading on the reaction was also investigated. 相似文献
