Resins carbonylic acid

Acid catalysts promote conjugate addition of alcohols to a, p unsaturated carbonyl compounds by protonating the carbonyl group and making the conjugated system more electrophilic. Methanol adds to this ketone exceptionally well, for example, in the presence of an acid catalyst known as Dowex 50 . This is an acidic resin—just about as acidic as sulfuric acid in fact, but completely insoluble, and therefore very easy to remove from the product at the end of the reaction by filtration. 

Acetalization with Trialkyl Orthoformates. In an acetal exchange reaction, trialkyl orthoformates will convert carbonyl groups to their corresponding acetal derivatives without concomitant formation of water. Weak acids such as NH4NO3 or amberlyst-15 (a sulfonic acid resin) catalyze the acetalization. ... 

Hydroxy linkers bearing an electron-withdrawing group such as an a-carbonyl (oxyacyl resins, phenacyl type-linkers or glycolic acid derivatives) are also suitable for the nucleophilic release of ester bound compounds. The glycolamidic ester linker 10 has been successfully used to synthesize peptides by the Fmoc/tBu strategy. It is compatible with the repetitive piperidine treatment but peptides can be cleaved with dilute NaOH solutions, ammonia or alkoxides [9], Esters bound to oxyacyl resins 8 have been reported to be cleavable by thiolysis, saponification, ammonia, hydrazine and potassium cyanide (complexed with dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6) [10, 11],... 

In another procedure, the preparation of the polymer-supported scandium catalyst was performed according to Scheme 8.17 [70], Polystyrene, cross-linked with divinylbenzene, was treated with 5-phenylvaleryl chloride in carbon disulfide in the presence of aluminum trichloride. The carbonyl groups were then reduced using aluminum trichloride-lithium aluminum hydride in diethyl ether to afford double spacer resin. After sulfonation (chlorosulfonic acid/acetic acid), resin was treated with scandium(III) chloride in acetonitrile at room temperature to give the polymer-supported scandium chloride. Finally, it was treated with trifluo-romethanesulfonic acid to afford the immobilized triflate. 

Figure 3 shows the production of acetaldehyde in the years 1969 through 1987 as well as an estimate of 1989—1995 production. The year 1969 was a peak year for acetaldehyde with a reported production of 748,000 t. Acetaldehyde production is linked with the demand for acetic acid, acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, vinyl acetate resins, acetate esters, pentaerythritol, synthetic pyridine derivatives, terephthaHc acid, and peracetic acid. In 1976 acetic acid production represented 60% of the acetaldehyde demand. That demand has diminished as a result of the rising cost of ethylene as feedstock and methanol carbonylation as the preferred route to acetic acid (qv). 

The acid number is mainly defined for rosins and rosin-derived resins and for phenol-modified resins. Standard hydrocarbon resins have zero acid number because the absence of functional groups. However, the acid number allows one to control deterioration by oxidation with formation of carbonyl and carboxyl groups in hydrocarbon resins. Typical acid number values of different resin types are ... 

As a catalyst sulfuric acid is most often used phosphoric acid, boron trifluoride or an acidic ion exchange resin have also found application. 1,1-disubstituted alkenes are especially suitable substrates, since these are converted to relatively stable tertiary carbenium ion species upon protonation. o ,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds do not react as olefinic component.

To a 50-mL polypropylene vial (Note 1) are added 0.839 g (2.67 mmol) of 2-[ethyl[4-[(lE)-(4-nitrophenyl)azo]phenyl]amino]ethanol (Disperse Red 1, Note 2), 0.985 g of (2.39 mmol) N-[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl]-L-aspartic acid,l-(l, 1-dimethylethyl) ester (Fmoc-L-Asp-OtBu, Note 3), 3.26 g (4.73 mmol) of polystyrylsulfonyl chloride resin (Note 4), and 30 mL anhydrous methylene chloride (Note 5). The vial is capped and the mixture is shaken for five min (Note 6). N-Methylimidazole (0.764 mL, 9.58 mmol) is then added to the deep red mixture (Note 7) and the resulting mixture is shaken for 2 hr (Note 8). 

In the first step, a resin-bound secondary amine is acylated with bromoacetic acid, in the presence of N,N-diisopropylcarbodiimide. Acylation of secondary amines is difficult, especially when coupHng an amino acid with a bulky side chain. The sub-monomer method, on the other hand, is facilitated by the use of bromoacetic acid, which is a very reactive acylating agent Activated bromoacetic acid is bis-reactive, in that it acylates by reacting with a nucleophile at the carbonyl carbon, or it can alkylate by reacting with a nucleophile at the neighboring ah-phatic carbon. Because acylation is approximately 1000 times faster than alkylation, acylation is exclusively observed. 

Purely aromatic ketones generally do not give satisfactory results pinacols and resinous products often predominate. The reduction of ketonic compounds of high molecular weight and very slight solubility is facilitated by the addition of a solvent, such as ethanol, acetic acid or dioxan, which is miscible with aqueous hydrochloric acid. With some carbonyl compounds, notably keto acids, poor yields are obtained even in the presence of ethanol, etc., and the difficulty has been ascribed to the formation of insoluble polymolecular reduction products, which coat the surface of the zinc. The adffition of a hydrocarbon solvent, such as toluene, is beneficial because it keeps most of the material out of contact with the zinc and the reduction occurs in the aqueous layer at such high dilution that polymolecular reactions are largdy inhibited (see Section IV,143). 

Following a similar strategy, an ingenious mixed resin bed quench and purification strategy was devised for the Dess-Martin periodinane mediated conversion of alcohols to carbonyls. This hypervalent iodine oxidant was viewed as containing an inherent masked carboxylic acid functionality that was revealed at the end of the reaction (Species (11) Scheme 2.30). Therefore purification was easily achieved by treatment of the reaction mixture with a mixed-resin bed containing both a thiosulfate resin and a polymeric base. The thiosulfate polymer was used to reduce excess hypervalent iodine lodine(V) and (III) oxidation states species to 2-iodoben-zoic acid (11), which was in turn scavenged by the polymeric base [51].
