A Simple Procedure for the Catalytic Acetalization of Aldehydes

Thiol-initiated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins and its extension to direct production of acetals from olefins

The oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones is an important reaction in organic syntheses. In this manuscript, a mild and operationally simple protocol for the aerobic oxidation of olefins to produce carbonyl compounds was realized over ZnIn2S4under visible light, using air as the oxidant and a thiol as the initiator. It was proposed that the photogenerated holes over ZnIn2S4attack the thiol to produce thiyl radicals, which initiate the oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones. By further coupling with the condensation between the as-obtained aldehydes/ketones and alcohols, this strategy can also be applied to the production of different acetals directly from the olefins. This study demonstrates a new pathway to realize the oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones, and also provides a new protocol for the production of acetals directly from the olefins.

Ru(II)-functionalized SBA-15 as highly chemoselective, acid free and sustainable heterogeneous catalyst for acetalization of aldehydes and ketones

Combining electron deficient Ru(II) coordination sites with organofunctionalized SBA-15, (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15, result in a mild, neutral, water scavenger free and chemo-selective acetalization catalyst for cyclic/acyclic acetals. Vacant coordination sites of ruthenium in (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 activates protecting groups as well as reactants simultaneously and restricts the reverse acetalization reaction. Synthesized (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 catalyst has been thoroughly characterized and act as competitive catalyst compared to conventional acid catalysts. (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 performs high catalytic activity as well as selectivity within 20 min with high TOF. The catalyst can be recycled and reaction parameters are optimized.
