An ionic liquid supported on magnetite nanoparticles as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of alkyl thiocyanates in water

The present study describes a convenient method to synthesize alkyl thiocyanates from alkyl halides with the use of a novel nanomagnetic-supported organocatalyst (MNP@PEG-ImCl). The new supported ionic liquid is fully characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) as well as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. It is noteworthy that we observed easy separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture by a simple magnetic decantation and its reutilization many times without any appreciable loss of activities.

PEG-DIL-based MnCl42?: A novel phase transfer catalyst for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl halides

Poly(ethylene glycol) dicationic ionic liquid-based MnCl42? was prepared by nucleophilic substitution of poly(ethylene glycol) dichloride with methylimidazole followed by reaction with MnCl2. The structural properties of the catalyst were systematically investigated using Fourier transform infrared, UV–visible and Raman spectra and thermogravimetric analysis. The application of this catalyst allows the synthesis of a variety of benzyl thiocyanates and azides in high yield under reflux conditions in water. The main advantages of this method are its easy nature, rapidity, environmental benignity and high yields.

A simple, one-pot and phosphine-free procedure for thiocyanation of alcohols Using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) imidazole (TsIm)

An efficient, one-pot, phosphine-free thiocyanation of alcohols has been achieved utilising potassium thiocyanate and N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) imidazole (TsIm) as a coupling agent in the presence of triethylamine in anhydrous DMF at 70 °C. This method converts primary alcohols into the corresponding thiocyanates, without isomerisation to isothiocyanates, in good to excellent yields. A total of 17 thiocyananates were prepared, five of which are novel. Using one equivalent of KSCN, the method shows good selectivity in the thiocyanation of a primary alcohol in the presence of a secondary alcohol.
