Özet

Boron tri-isopropoxide, B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3), was immobilized on mesoporous material, MCM-41, and denoted as "B((OPr)-Pr-i)3-MCM-41". The prepared new heterogeneous catalyst, B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41, was characterized in details by using PXRD, FT-IR-, B-11 NMR-, Si-29 NMR-, C-13 NMR-, TEM, EDX, N-2 adsorption and ICP-OES. The results demonstrated the successful homogenous distribution of the B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3) on the MCM-41 support. Heterogeneous B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41 catalyst in comparison with the homogeneous B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3) and B(OEt)(3) catalysts, display similiar catalytic activity in the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones with alcohols as reductants. Reduced reaction times, higher rate constants and very high selectivities for the unsaturated alcohols were obtained with the heterogenous catalyst than the homogeneous catalysts. In most cases, there were no side products other than the desired alcohol. The B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41 catalyst was found to be encouraging as the catalyst is recyclable up to six cycles without any significant loss in its catalytic activity. This work enriches the family of heterogeneous MPV catalysts for chemoselective reductions of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Boron tri-isopropoxide, B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3), was immobilized on mesoporous material, MCM-41, and denoted as "B((OPr)-Pr-i)3-MCM-41". The prepared new heterogeneous catalyst, B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41, was characterized in details by using PXRD, FT-IR-, B-11 NMR-, Si-29 NMR-, C-13 NMR-, TEM, EDX, N-2 adsorption and ICP-OES. The results demonstrated the successful homogenous distribution of the B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3) on the MCM-41 support. Heterogeneous B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41 catalyst in comparison with the homogeneous B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3) and B(OEt)(3) catalysts, display similiar catalytic activity in the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones with alcohols as reductants. Reduced reaction times, higher rate constants and very high selectivities for the unsaturated alcohols were obtained with the heterogenous catalyst than the homogeneous catalysts. In most cases, there were no side products other than the desired alcohol. The B((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)-MCM-41 catalyst was found to be encouraging as the catalyst is recyclable up to six cycles without any significant loss in its catalytic activity. This work enriches the family of heterogeneous MPV catalysts for chemoselective reductions of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
