文摘High-energy-density(HED)fuel(e.g.widely used JP-10 and RJ-4),featuring compact 3D polycyclic structure with high strain,is of critical importance for volume-limited military aircraft,since their high density and combustion heat can provide more propulsion energy.To reduce the reliance on petroleum source,it is highly desirable to develop renewable alternatives for the production of strained polycyclic HED fuel,but which remains a big challenge because of the inaccessibility caused by the high strain,We herein demonstrate a three-step catalytic route towards highly strained C_(17)and C_(18)spirofuel with biomass feedstocks.The process includes catalytic aldol condensation of renewable cyclohexanone/cyclopentanone with benzaldehyde,catalytic spiro Diels-Alder(D-A)reaction of aldol adduct with isoprene,and catalytic hydrodeoxygenation.The key spiro D-A reaction is enabled by the catalysis of heterogeneous Lewis acidic ionic liquid.The chloroaluminate IL,formed by benign urea and AICl3,exhibits good catalytic performance and reusability for this step.An eventual hydrodeoxygenation(HDO)over Pd/C and H-Y produces strained tricyclic spirofuel with density>0.93 g/mL,combustion heat>41 MJ/L and freezing point<-40℃,which are better than the properties of tactical fuel RJ-4.Therefore,it is anticipated that the as-prepared renewable fuels have the potential to replace traditional petroleum-derived HED fuels.

文摘The first synthesis of flavanostilbenes with a 2-cyclohepten-1-one core was carried out by applying an effective strategy in three steps from abundant polymerized flavanol resources.A key regio-and stereoselective Cu-mediated[5+2]cycloaddition/decarboxylation cascade was explored and applied without the use of protecting groups,and water as an environmentally friendly solvent contributed to the cascade.The intramolecular[5+2]cycloaddition mechanism,involving oxidation and dearomatization of the flavanol unit as a diene,was proposed and supported by the synthesis of the intermediate.The regioselectivity of the cyclization was found to be dependent on the substitution effects of the stilbene units by the exploration of substrate scope.

文摘The development of general and practical strategies toward the construction of medium-sized rings is still challenging in organic synthesis,especially for the multiple stereocenters control of substituted groups on the ring owing to the long distance between groups.Thus,stereoselective synthesis of multi-substituted ten-membered rings is attractive.Herein,a rapid assembly of various highly substituted ten-membered nitrogen heterocycles between two 1,3-dipoles through a tandem[3+3]cycloaddition/aza-Claisen rearrangement of N-vinyl-α,β-unsaturated nitrones and aza-oxyallyl or oxyallyl cations are disclosed.Products containing two or multiple stereocenters could be obtained in up to 96%yield with high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.Selective N-O bond cleavages of ten-membered nitrogen heterocycles lead to various novel 5,6,6-perifused benzofurans,bicyclo[4.4.0]or bicyclo[5.3.0]skeletons containing three or multiple continuous stereocenters in good yields and high diastereoselectivity.Biological tests show that the obtained ten-membered N-heterocycles and bicyclo[4.4.0]skeletons inhibited nitric oxide generation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and might serve as good anti-inflammatory agents.

文摘In the context of peaking carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality,development of feasible methods for converting CO_(2)into high value-added chemicals stands out as a hot subject.In this study,P[D+COO^(−)][Br^(−)][DBUH^(+)],a series of novel heterogeneous dual-ionic poly(ionic liquid)s(PILs)were synthesized readily from 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate(DMAEMA),bromo-substituted aliphatic acids,organic bases and divinylbenzene(DVB).The structures,compositions and morphologies were characterized or determined by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR),thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA),infrared spectroscopy(IR),scanning electron microscopes(SEM),and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis(BET),etc.Application of the P[D+COO^(−)][Br^(−)][DBUH^(+)]series as catalysts in converting CO_(2)into cyclic carbonates showed that P[D+COO^(−)][Br^(−)][DBUH^(+)]-2/1/0.6was able to catalyze epiclorohydrin-CO_(2)cycloaddition the most efficiently.This afforded chloropropylene carbonate(CPC)in 98.4%yield with≥99%selectivity in 24 hr under solvent-and additive-free conditions at atmospheric pressure.Reusability experiments showed that recycling of the catalyst 6 times only resulted in a slight decline in the catalytic performance.In addition,it could be used for the synthesis of a variety of differently substituted cyclic carbonates in good to excellent yields.Finally,key catalytic active sites were probed,and a reasonable mechanism was proposed accordingly.In summary,this work poses an efficient strategy for heterogenization of dual-ionic PILs and provides amild and environmentally benign approach to the fixation and utilization of carbon dioxide.

文摘The advancement of efficient and environmentally sustainable heterogeneous catalysts that facilitate the transformation of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))into chemicals has gained considerable attention.In this study,we synthesized a carbon nitride(C_(3)N_(4))functionalized with copper phthalocyanine(CuPc)and ionic liquid(IL)(C_(3)N_(4)-CuPc-IL)and employed it as an efficient catalyst enabling the cycloaddition of CO_(2)with epoxides.The presence of urea/urethane groups,Cu^(2+)ions,and I−ions that can effectively activate and open the epoxide ring was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis)spectroscopy,thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),powder X-ray diffraction(XRD),and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Meanwhile,the multiple nitrogen-containing structures(copper phthalocyanine,C_(3)N_(4),and quaternary ammonium cationic structures)facilitated the adsorption and activation of CO_(2).Consequently,C_(3)N_(4)-CuPc-IL demonstrated high catalytic efficiency for the cycloaddition between CO_(2)and epoxides.Specifically,with 5.0 wt.%loading of C_(3)N_(4)-CuPc-IL catalyst under 2.0 MPa and 120°C for 12 h,the yield of cyclic carbonate reached 98%.Additionally,the prepared catalyst demonstrated excellent structural stability and recyclability,alongside high catalytic activity toward various epoxides.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations indicated that the ring-opening reaction represents the rate-determining step in the C_(3)N_(4)-CuPc-IL catalyzed cycloaddition reaction,with an energy barrier of only 24.2 kcal/mol.The impressive catalytic performance of C_(3)N_(4)-CuPc-IL confirmed the synergistic catalytic effect of hydrogen bond donor groups,Lewis acidic sites,and ionic active sites in the CO_(2)cycloaddition reaction,providing theoretical guidance for the design of CO_(2)conversion catalysts.

文摘Bridged bicyclic cores have been recognized as valuable bioisosteres of benzene ring,which are of great value in medicinal chemistry.However,the development of fluorinated bicyclic skeletons,which encompass two privileged elements widely acknowledged for fine tuning the working effect of target molecules,are far less common.Herein,we present a general and practical synthesis of gem-difluorobicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes(diF-BCHs)from readily available difluorinated hexa-1,5-dienes through energy transfer photocatalysis.By taking advantage of an efficient Cope rearrangement,the preparation of both constitutional isomers of diF-BCHs is readily achieved under identical conditions.The operational simplicity,mild conditions and wide scope further highlight the potential application of this protocol.Moreover,computational studies indicated a positive effect of fluorine atoms in lowering either the triplet or FMO energies of the hexa-1,5-diene substrates,thus promoting the present photoinduced[2+2]cycloaddition.

文摘A highly efficient and mild method for[3 t 2]cycloaddition ofβ-sulfonyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones with terminal allenoates was well-explored and developed.The reactions were successfully performed by applying multifunctional chiral phosphine P6 which was screened from eight chiral phosphorus reagents to finally result in a variety of enantioenriched sulfone-substituted cyclopentenes with two chiral centers(up to 81%yield with 94%ee).Moreover,2.5 mol%catalytic equivalents were proved to be feasible when this reaction was performed on a 10 mmol scale.
