Triethylamine catalyst

In recent years there has been some substitution of TDI by MDI derivatives. One-shot polyether processes became feasible with the advent of sufficiently powerful catalysts. For many years tertiary amines had been used with both polyesters and the newer polyethers. Examples included alkyl morpholines and triethylamine. Catalysts such as triethylenediamine ( Dabco ) and 4-dimethyla-minopyridine were rather more powerful but not satisfactory on their own. In the late 1950s organo-tin catalysts such as dibutyl tin dilaurate and stannous octoate were found to be powerful catalysts for the chain extension reactions. It was found that by use of varying combinations of a tin catayst with a tertiary amine...

The reaction between o-tolyl isocyanate and water in dioxane at 80°C with triethylamine catalyst was studied by Shkapenko et al. [188]. Supporting the results of Morton et al., the rate of isocyanate disappearance was found to be dependent on the NCO H2O ratio. 

Preparation.1 This bicyclic phosphite can be prepared in 90% yield by transesterification of triethyl phosphite with trimethylolpropane (triethylamine catalyst).

Basic catalysts other than alkali acetates have been employed in the Perkin reaction thus salicylaldehyde condenses with acetic anhydride in the presence of triethylamine to yield coumarin (tlie lactone of the cis form of o-hydroxy-cinnamio acid) together with some of the acetyl derivative of the trans form (o-acetoxycoumaric acid) ... 

The mechanism of the reaction, which is of the aldol type, involves the car-bonyl group of tlie aldehyde and an active methylene group of the anhydride the function of the basic catalyst B (acetate ion 0H3000 or triethylamine N(0,Hb)j) is to form the anion of the active hydrogen component, i.e., by the extraction of a proton from the anhydride ... 

The a-carbon atom of the phenylacetyl group is more susceptible to attack by the basic catalyst (triethylamine) than the acetyl group hence a-phenyl-cinnamic acid, but no cinnamic acid, is obtained. 

Alternatively, use the following procedure in which triethylamine replaces potassium acetate as the basic catalyst. Place 2 1 g. (2-0 ml.) of purified benzaldehyde, 2 0 ml. of anhydrous triethylamine and 5 0 ml. of A.R. acetic anhydride in a 200 ml. round-bottomed flask, equipped with a short reflux condenser and a calcium chloride drying tube. Boil the solution gently for 24 hours—heating may be interrupted. Incorporate a steam distillation apparatus in the flask and steam distil until the distillate is no longer cloudy (about 100 ml.) and then collect a further 50 ml. of the distillate di ard the steam distillate. Transfer the residue in the flask to a 400 ml. beaker, add water until the vplume is about 200 ml., then 0 2 g. of decolourising carbon, and boil for a few minutes. Filter the hot solution, and acidify the hot filtrate with 1 1 hydrochlorioiaoid... 

A cousin to this reduction is one using stannous chloride (a.k.a. SnCb, a.k.a. Tin chloride) which is done exactly as the calcium one except that about lOOg of SnCb is used in place of the Mg or Ca and the addition occurs at room temperature and the solution is stirred for one hour rather than 15 minutes. Some very good reductions that operate almost exclusively at room temperature with no pressure and give almost 100% yields are to follow. The only reason Strike did not detail these methods is that some of the chemicals involved are a little less common than Strike is used to but all are available to the public. These alternatives include acetlylacetone and triethylamine [73], propanedithlol and trieth-ylamine [74], triphenylphosphine [75], NaBH4 with phase transfer catalyst [76], H2S and pyridine [77], and palladium hydrox-ide/carbon with hydrazine [78], stannous chloride dihydrate [85]. 

The acylation yields are reported to be improved by conducting the reaction in tetrahydrofuran with triethylamine as catalyst (252-254). 

Several examples of the nucleophilic reactivity of the C-4 atom are known. 2-Phenyl-5 (4HVthiazolinone (212) has been condensed with various aldehydes or ketones in tetrahydrofuran with triethylamine as a catalyst to give 217 (Scheme 110) (392. 442, 444. 445, 447. 450). Mono... 

Fig. 1. Time courses of the chemiluminescence intensity from oxalate—hydrogen peroxide systems in ethyl acetate as solvent, 0.7 mM TCPO. The curves correspond to the following concentrations of triethylamine (TEA) catalyst A, 0.05 mM B, 0.10 mM and C, 0.20 mM (70).

When the catalyst is triethylamine, the yield is nearly 100% cycHc oligomers but if pyridine is used, the polymer is nearly 100% linear. A basic catalyst in the second step, such as lithium stearate or an organic titanate [bis-(acetylacetonato)diisopropoxytitanium], produces a polycarbonate with a molecular weight of 250,000—300,000 when polymerized at 300°C for 30 min. A fiber glass composite has been prepared using this basic procedure (39). 

Ethylamines. Mono-, di-, and triethylamines, produced by catalytic reaction of ethanol with ammonia (330), are a significant outlet for ethanol. The vapor-phase continuous process takes place at 1.38 MPa (13.6 atm) and 150—220°C over a nickel catalyst supported on alumina, siUca, or sihca—alumina. In this reductive amination under a hydrogen atmosphere, the ratio of the mono-, di-, and triethylamine product can be controlled by recycling the unwanted products. Other catalysts used include phosphoric acid and derivatives, copper and iron chlorides, sulfates, and oxides in the presence of acids or alkaline salts (331). Piperidine can be ethylated with ethanol in the presence of Raney nickel catalyst at 200°C and 10.3 MPa (102 atm), to give W-ethylpiperidine [766-09-6] (332). 

Alkyl- and aryl-pyridazines can be prepared by cross-coupling reactions between chloropyridazines and Grignard reagents in the presence of nickel-phosphine complexes as catalysts. Dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]nickel is used for alkylation and dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]nickel for arylation (78CPB2550). 3-Alkynyl-pyridazines and their A-oxides are prepared from 3-chloropyridazines and their A-oxides and alkynes using a Pd(PPh3)Cl2-Cu complex and triethylamine (78H(9)1397). 

The submitters report that both l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and triethylamine have been used to catalyze this decomposition. Tri-ethylamine was less satisfactory as a catalyst because of its relatively rapid reaction with the solvent, carbon tetrachloride, to form triethylamine hydrochloride and because of difficulty encountered in separating triethylamine from the dicarbonate pi oduct. The 1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane was efficiently separated from the dicarbonate product by the procedure described in which the crude product was washed with very dilute aqueous acid.
