Abstract
We developed an environmentally friendly method for synthesizing acyl fluorides and achieving the selective mono-acylation of water-soluble alcohols using acyl fluorides in green media. Our method offers substantial advantages over the existing technologies for acyl fluoride production, particularly in terms of cost and environmental impact. Notably, our approach is augmented by an unusual 1,3-chelation via transhalogenation, and the use of an eco-friendly solvent and a simple base aligns with the principles of sustainable chemistry. We also explored the direct and highly efficient mono-acylation of biomass-derived water-soluble alcohols, such as ethylene glycol and glycerol, in the presence of water. The key arrangements, such as the role of the K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> base and unusual 1,3-chelation between acyl fluoride and potassium ion, were characterized by HRMS and NMR spectroscopic analysis, and controlled experiments. These findings underscore the effectiveness of this method and provide deeper insights into the reaction mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (ASC) is the leading primary journal in organic, organometallic, and applied chemistry.
The high impact of ASC can be attributed to the unique focus of the journal, which publishes exciting new results from academic and industrial labs on efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly organic synthesis. While homogeneous, heterogeneous, organic, and enzyme catalysis are key technologies to achieve green synthesis, significant contributions to the same goal by synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry, and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling, separation science, and process development are also featured in ASC. The Aims and Scope can be found in the Notice to Authors or on the first page of the table of contents in every issue.
