Abstract
We have recently reported that copper(I) complexes of the new C1-symmetric pyridine-based 12-membered tetraaza macrocycles, Pyridine Containing Ligands (Pc-L*), are competent catalysts in the asymmetric cyclopropanation. In order to improve our catalytic system Cu(I) complexes based on Pc-L* ligands were heterogeneized on mesoporous ordered and non-ordered silicas (Davisil, MCM-41, etc.) by the Supported by HydrogenBond (SHB) method. Supported catalysts C were tested in enantioselective cyclopropanation in batch conditions showing good catalytic activities of differently substituted olefins employing ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) as carbene precursor in n-hexane. The silica support has a strong influence on the diastereoselective outcome of the reaction, favoring the formation of the more challenging cis isomer. Then, catalysts C were tested as catalyst for the cyclopropanation reaction under flow conditions focusing our attention on the use of supercritical CO2. As model reaction we chose the cyclopropanation of alfa-methyl styrene with EDA. The catalyst has been located in a reactor while the substrate (alfa-methyl styrene and EDA ) are transported into the reactor dissolved in 1,2-DCE or in supercritical CO2, which simultaneously acts as a transport vector for the products. Under optimised conditions, the catalyst was stable over at least 10 h of continuous flow, without drop in activity or selectivity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
