Carbon-supported iron–ionic liquid: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for benzylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with alcohols
Literature Information
P. Moriel, A. B. García
The effect of the addition of ILs with non-coordinating anions on the iron-catalyzed benzylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with alcohols under solvent free conditions has been evaluated. Among them, the presence of those containing the bistriflimide anion was found to be crucial for selectivity towards the benzylated product in a homogenous reaction. Therefore, the catalytic activity of Fe(OTf)3–N4111NTf2 combination supported on carbon materials with different textural and chemical surface properties has been studied. In the heterogeneous phase, reaction selectivity was also enhanced by the addition of the IL. However, substantial differences between the activities of different Fe-IL/carbon material catalytic systems were observed, indicating the influence of carbon support properties. With regards to selectivity, the best results were obtained using carbon supports with low microporosity. Moreover, the presence of oxygen functional groups on the carbon surface improved catalyst recycling.

Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on, but not limited to, the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998). Green chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry is at the frontiers of this continuously-evolving interdisciplinary science and publishes research that attempts to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. Submissions on all aspects of research relating to the endeavour are welcome. The journal publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. To be published, work must present a significant advance in green chemistry. Papers must contain a comparison with existing methods and demonstrate advantages over those methods before publication can be considered. For more information please see this Editorial. Coverage includes the following, but is not limited to: Design (e.g. biomimicry, design for degradation/recycling/reduced toxicity…) Reagents & Feedstocks (e.g. renewables, CO2, solvents, auxiliary agents, waste utilization…) Synthesis (e.g. organic, inorganic, synthetic biology…) Catalysis (e.g. homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzyme, whole cell…) Process (e.g. process design, intensification, separations, recycling, efficiency…) Energy (e.g. renewable energy, fuels, photovoltaics, fuel cells, energy storage, energy carriers…) Applications (e.g. electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, pharmaceuticals, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining…) Impact (e.g. safety, metrics, LCA, sustainability, (eco)toxicology…) Green chemistry is, by definition, a continuously-evolving frontier. Therefore, the inclusion of a particular material or technology does not, of itself, guarantee that a paper is suitable for the journal. To be suitable, the novel advance should have the potential for reduced environmental impact relative to the state of the art. Green Chemistry does not normally deal with research associated with 'end-of-pipe' or remediation issues.
