- Synthesis of core-shell Ce-modified mixed metal oxides derived from P123-templated layered double hydroxides
-
Layered double hydroxides are a promising platform material which can be combined with a variety of active species based on their characteristic features. Silicon@P123-templated Ce-doped layered double hydroxide (SiO2@CeMgAl-LDH(P123)) composites were synthesizedviaa facilein situco-precipitation method, and characterized by TEM, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, XPS, CO2-,etc.in detail. Meanwhile, the calcined powder (SiO2@CeMgAl-LDO(P123)) possessed an excellent core-shell structure and a high surface area inherited from the LDH structure, which led to an outstanding catalytic activity (99.7% conversion of propylene oxide, 92.4% selectivity of propylene glycol methyl ether) under mild reaction conditions (120 °C). Cerium oxide provides a large number of oxygen vacancies and significantly improves the medium basic strength of the material, which facilitates the selective ring-opening of PO. Furthermore, the introduction and removal of P123 make the cerium oxide uniformly dispersed on the LDH layers, providing more reaction sites for the reaction of methanol and propylene oxide. The core-shell structure prepared by thein situco-precipitation method could solve the shortcomings of agglomeration of layered double hydroxides and prolong the catalytic life evidently.

- Hydroboration. 57. Hydroboration with 9-Borabicyclononane of Alkenes Containing Representative Functional Groups
-
The hydroboration of alkenes containing representative functional groups was examined with 9-borabicyclononane (9-BBN) in order to extend the hydroboration reaction for the preparation of functionally substituted organoboranes.Terminal alkenes containing a remote functional group are hydroborated with a remarkable regioselectivity (>=98percent terminal), producing the corresponding stable organoboranes. 9-BBN hydroborates the allylic derivatives so as to place boron essentially on the terminal carbon atom (>=97percent).The directive effect is further enhanced (>=99percent) in the case of β-methylallyl derivatives.The hydroboration of crotyl derivatives attaches boron predominantly at the 2-position, followed by an elimination-rehydroboration sequence.However, crotyl alcohol can be protected against elimination as the tert-butyl or tetrahydropyranyl ethers.The hydroboration-oxidation of ethyl crotonate involves a series of elimination, hydroboration, and condensation processes.In the vinyl, crotyl, and isobutenyl systems, the mesomeric effect of the substituent favors the placement of boron at the β-position, while the inductive effect favors the α-position, with the former effect predominating in most cases.Acyclic β-substituted organoboranes undergo rapid elimination.Nonpolar solvents and lower reaction temperatures decrease the rate of elimination.However, those derived from cyclic vinyl derivatives are relatively stable under neutral conditions, undergoing facile elimination in the presence of a base.

- Solvomercuration-Demercuration. 8. Oxymercuration-Demercuration of Methoxy-, Hydroxy-, and Acetoxy-Substituted Alkenes
-
The oxymercuration-demercuration (OM-DM) of a series of methoxy-, hydroxy-, and acetoxy-substituted alkenes was examined.The systems examined were the allyl, crotyl, 3-buten-1-yl, 4-penten-1-yl, and 5-hexen-1-yl.The methoxyalkenes undergo hydration with very high regioselectivity and almost quantitative yield in all cases.However, a small -I effect is observed in the case of the allylalkene (97.1percent Markovnikov vs. 99.5percent in 1-hexene).Moreover, in the crotyl case, a major directing effect is observed: 97.7percent 3-ol, 2.3percent 2-ol.The other three alkenes undergo the OM reaction with no effect from the methoxy group (99.5percent Markovnikov isomer).In contrast, only allyl-, crotyl-, and 3-buten-1-yl alcohols produce major amounts of hydrated products, the diols.While no hydroxyl group directing effect is observed in the allyl system, a major one is again seen in the case of the crotyl: 93.5percent l,3-diol and 6.5percent l,2-diol.The major products from the 4-penten-1-yl and 5-hexen-1-yl and alcohols are 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and 2-methyltetrahydropyran, respectively, resulting from OH-5 and OH-6 neighboring group participation in the OM stage.The acetoxy alkenes undergo hydration to give diols in ca. 80percent yield with ca. 20percent unreacted starting material.This is the result of a competitive deoxymercuration reaction which is occurring in the DM stage.However, the yield of hydrated products can be increased by varying the amount of base used in the DM.Neighboring-group participation, AcO-5, is observed in the allyl system only, resulting in a 65percent yield of the Markovnikov oxymercurial, by 1H NMR analysis, and a 35percent yield of the acetoxy-exchanged mercurial.Again, a major -I-directing effect of the acetoxy group was observed in the crotyl system but not in the others.In addition to the expected l,2- and l,3-diols, the OM-DM of crotyl acetate also resulted in small amounts of the unexpected 2,3-diol under kinetic conditions.Finally, a modified DM procedure has been developed which is compatible with the acetoxy group.
