Abstract
1,8-cineole, also known as eucalyptol, is the main component of eucalyptus oils (75–90 %) and many other essential oils. The present work developed a novel synthesis of potentially valuable fragrant heterocyclic oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene compounds from bio-renewable 1,8-cineole and its structural isomer 1,4-cineole via their cycloaddition to aldehydes, such as benzaldehyde and trans-cinnamaldehyde, in the presence of silica-supported tungstophosphoric heteropoly acid H3PW12O40 (HPW) or its acidic salt Cs0.5H0.5PW12O40 (CsPW) as solid acid catalysts. The reaction of 1,8-cineole with phenylacetaldehyde, in addition to the oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonene, gave the Friedel-Crafts alkylation product with a fused tetracyclic structure. The same products were obtained starting from styrene oxide through a consecutive tandem process involving the acid-catalyzed isomerization of styrene oxide to phenylacetaldehyde followed by its cycloaddition to 1,8-cineole. The process can be performed in various green solvents under mild conditions without catalyst leaching, with the best yields obtained in dimethyl carbonate.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis A: General publishes original papers on all aspects of catalysis of basic and practical interest to chemical scientists in both industrial and academic fields, with an emphasis onnew understanding of catalysts and catalytic reactions, new catalytic materials, new techniques, and new processes, especially those that have potential practical implications.
Papers that report results of a thorough study or optimization of systems or processes that are well understood, widely studied, or minor variations of known ones are discouraged. Authors should include statements in a separate section "Justification for Publication" of how the manuscript fits the scope of the journal in the cover letter to the editors. Submissions without such justification will be rejected without review.
