Study on Oxidative Desulfurization Catalyzed by Organic-inorganic Heteropolyacids as Phase Transfer Catalyst

Organic–inorganic supramolecular solid catalyst boosts organic reactions in water

Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are appealing as synthetic hosts for mediating chemical reactions. Here we report the preparation of a mesoscopic metal-organic structure based on single-layer assembly of aluminium chains and organic alkylaryl spacers. The material markedly accelerates condensation reactions in water in the absence of acid or base catalyst, as well as organoca...

Deep Extractive Oxidative Desulfurization of Model Oil by Magnetically Recoverable Polyoxometalate-Based Nano Catalyst

Dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT) and thiophene (T) were catalytically oxidized to their corresponding sulfone products by H2O2 in the presence of magnetically recoverable polyoxometalate-based nano catalyst. Different extracting solvents including ethanol, acetonitrile, and dimethylformamide were tested. The best results were obtained by ethanol extraction. The oxidative desulfurizat...

Recent Strategies in Organic Reactions Catalyzed by Phase Transfer Catalysts and Analyzed by Gas Chromatography

Oxidative desulfurization of dibenzothiophene with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by selenium(IV)-containing peroxotungstate.

With stoichiometric H(2)O(2) as oxidant, dibenzothiophene (DBT) is oxidized to its corresponding sulfone with high efficiency, catalyzed by a sub-valence heteronuclear peroxotungstate, [C(18)H(37)N(CH(3))(3)](4)[H(2)Se(IV)(3)W(6)O(34)], under mild biphase conditions and the catalyst shows remarkable selectivity of catalytic oxidation towards DBT, cinnamyl alcohol and quinoline.

Graphene oxide as a recyclable phase transfer catalyst.

We demonstrated a simple and green chemical method to obtain Michael adducts and their derivatives by using GO as a phase transfer catalyst with different kinds of bases in water and dichloromethane, and we also used GO multiple cycles almost without reduction in reaction yields.
