Alkyl and aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6 H)-carboxylates: A practical alternative to chloroformates for the synthesis of symmetric and asymmetric carbonates

Symmetric and asymmetric carbonates were synthesized by using alkyl or aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates. Five aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates were converted into the corresponding diaryl carbonates in good to excellent yields by treatment with potassium carbonate in refluxing THF. When the 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates were treated with aliphatic or aromatic alcohols in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide in toluene at room temperature, they gave the corresponding symmetric or asymmetric carbonates in moderate to excellent yields. Alkyl and aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates are therefore efficient, stable, and ecofriendly alternatives to chloroformates.

Immobilization of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene on magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles: A highly recyclable and efficient nanocatalyst for the synthesis of organic carbonates

1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene was immobilized on magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles as a magnetic nanocatalyst. The nanoparticle reagent was obtained with good loading levels and has been successfully used for the efficient and selective synthesis of organic carbonates by the direct condensation of alcohols and diethyl carbonate. The catalyst is quantitatively recovered by an external magnet and can be reused for six cycles with almost consistent activity. 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene was immobilized on magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles as a magnetic nanocatalyst.

Heterobimetallic dinuclear lanthanide alkoxide complexes as acid-base difunctional catalysts for transesterification

A practical lanthanide(III)-catalyzed transesterification of carboxylic esters, weakly reactive carbonates, and much less-reactive ethyl silicate with primary and secondary alcohols was developed. Heterobimetallic dinuclear lanthanide alkoxide complexes [Ln2Na8{(OCH2CH2NMe2)}12(OH)2] (Ln = Nd (I), Sm (II), and Yb (III)) were used as highly active catalysts for this reaction. The mild reaction conditions enabled the transesterification of various substrates to proceed in good to high yield. Efficient activation of transesterification may be endowed by the above complexes as cooperative acid-base difunctional catalysts, which is proposed to be responsible for the higher reactivity in comparison with simple acid/base catalysts.
