The results showed that physicochemical properties of ZnO were significantly affected by the calcination temperature, and calcination of ZnO at 400 ◦C demonstrated the optimum catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of cinnamaldehyde to benzaldehyde. With 0.01 g ZnO calcined at 400 ◦C for 2 h as a catalyst, 8.0 g ethanol and 2.0 g cinnamaldehyde reacted at an oxygen pressure of 1.0 MPa and 70 ◦C for 60 min, resulting in benzaldehyde selectivity of 69.2% and cinnamaldehyde conversion of 16.1%. Zr was the optimal modifier for ZnO: when Zr-modified ZnO was used as the catalyst, benzaldehyde selectivity reached 86.2%, and cinnamaldehyde conversion was 17.6%. The X-ray diffractometer and N2 adsorption–desorption characterization indicated that doping with Zr could reduce the crystallite size of ZnO (101) and increase the specific surface area of the catalyst, which provided more active sites for the reaction. X-ray photoelectron spectrometer results showed that Zr-doping could exchange the electrons with ZnO and reduce the electron density in the outer layer of Zn, which would further affect benzaldehyde selectivity.

New insights into the mechanism of Schiff base synthesis from aromatic amines in the absence of acid catalyst or polar solvents. PeerJ Organic Chemistry 2:e4 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-ochem.4 New insights into the mechanism of Schiff base synthesis from aromatic amines in the absence of acid catalyst or polar solvents Pedro J Silva Corresp. 1 1 FP-ENAS/Fac. de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Fernando Pessoa, Porto, Portugal Corresponding Author: Pedro J Silva Email address: [email protected] Extensive computational studies of the imine synthesis from amines and aldehydes in water have shown that the large-scale structure of water is needed to afford appropriate charge delocalisation and enable sufficient transition state stabilisation. These insights cannot, however, be applied to the understanding of the reaction pathway in apolar solvents due their inability to form extensive hidrogen-bonding networks. In this work, we perform the first computational studies of this reaction in apolar conditions. This density- functional study of the reaction of benzaldehyde with four closely related aromatic amines (aniline, o-toluidine, m-toluidine and p-toluidine) shows that an additional molecule of amine may provide enough stabilization of the first transition state even in the absence of a hydrogen bonding network. Our computations also show that the second reaction step cannot take place unless an extra proton is added to the system but, crucially, that reaction rate is so high that even picomolar amounts of protonated base are enough to achieve realistic rates.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

    Alcohol Oxidations – Beyond Labz Virtual ChemLab Activity Purpose: In this virtual experiment, you will be performing two oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohol, a primary alcohol. Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, depending on the reagents used. You will be setting up oxidation reactions using chromic acid (H2CrO4) and pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), and comparing the products of the two reactions. You will be monitoring the reactions using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and analyzing IR and NMR spectra of the reactants and products. O further O OH oxidation oxidation H OH benzyl alcohol benzaldehyde benzoic acid Figure 1. Oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohol Introduction: Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, depending on the reagents used. For many years, chromium reagents were commonly used for alcohol oxidations. Because of the toxicity of chromium-based reagents, many safer oxidizing agents have been developed and are more commonly used. As this lab is virtual, we can safely explore the reactivity trends for the older, chromium-based reagents. The two reaction conditions we will be exploring in this virtual experiment are: • Jones oxidation: This reaction uses chromic acid (H2CrO4) as the oxidizing agent. Chromic acid can be formed by dissolving sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) or chromium trioxide (CrO3) in aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4). • PCC oxidation: This reaction uses pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in an anhydrous solvent, typically dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The virtual lab does not give us CH2Cl2 as an option for a solvent, so we will substitute diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3, or Et2O). Once your two virtual experiments are complete, you will decide which set of conditions oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes, and which oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids.
