N-Alkyl-2-pyrrolidones have been widely used in the petrochemical industry, the agricultural chemical industry, electronic materials, etc. The distinct advantages of using N-alkyl-2-pyrrolidones as solvents or reaction media make them particularly important. A continuous-flow microreactor was exploited for the preparation of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) in a highly controlled and safe manner; thus, its use improved the efficiency of the process. Various conditions (temperature, residence time, molar ratio of amine to γ-butyrolactone (GBL), GBL concentration, water content, and presence of H3BO3 catalyst) were investigated to improve the synthesis of NMP/NEP. A microreactor was employed for the conversion of GBL to NMP and NEP, and the yields reached 94.7% for NMP and 93.9% for NEP under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, a kinetic model based on the reaction mechanism was proposed to guide the design and optimization of the synthesis of NMP/NEP.

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) is one of the most well-known fundamental reactions in organic chemistry to generate new molecules from two molecules. In principle, a nucleophile attacks from the back side of an alkylating agent having a suitable leaving group, most commonly a halide. However, alkyl halides are expensive, very harmful, toxic and not so stable, which makes them problematic for laboratory use. In contrast, trialkyl phosphates are inexpensive, readily accessible and stable at room temperature, under air, and are easy to handle, but rarely used as alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Here, we describe a mild, straightforward and powerful method for nucleophilic alkylation of various N -, O -, C - and S -nucleophiles using readily available trialkyl phosphates. The reaction proceeds smoothly in excellent yield, and quantitative yield in many cases, and covers a wide range of substrates. Further, the rare stereoselective transfer of secondary alkyl groups has been achieved with inversion of configuration of chiral centers (up to 98% ee).

In recent times, carbon dioxide fixation has received much attention for its potential application as an abundant C1 source and a range of important fine chemicals can be manufactured via this fixation. Here, a copper nanoparticle-decorated porous organic polymer-based (Cu-NPs@TzTa-POP) material was prepared by a simple in situ process. The catalyst was characterized by various techniques such as UV-vis spectra, FTIR spectra, HR-TEM, PXRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, TG-DTA, XPS, and AAS analysis. The synthesized heterogeneous catalyst showed excellent activity in an atmospheric carbon dioxide fixation reaction to produce N-methylated products from aromatic/heterocyclic amines in the presence of polymethyl-hydrosiloxane (PMHS) as the reducing agent at 80 °C within 12 h of the reaction. Through this catalytic N-methylation reaction, we obtained 98% yield of the product with turnover frequency ranging from 18 to 42 h-1. The catalyst is also very stable for the formation of primary carbamates from alcohols using the eco-friendly carbonylating agent, urea. Diverse alcohols (such as benzylic alcohols, phenols, heterocyclic alcohols, as well as aliphatic alcohols) showed much acceptance to this catalytic reaction and produced moderate to excellent yields of the respective carbamate products under ambient reaction conditions. Moreover, Cu-NPs@TzTa-POP is effortlessly recyclable and reusable without the extensive loss of active copper metal centres for many catalytic rounds (up to six catalytic rounds were examined).
