Abstract
The cellulosic hollow tube fiber fabricated from Calotropis procera supported BF3 Lewis acid (BF3@CPF) was prepared and investigated as nano- reactor and efficient catalyst for the N-formylation of amines. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the composite were characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, EDX, FE-SEM, and TGA analysis. The composite demonstrated high performance in N-formylation reaction with short time, high yield, and high selectivity. The catalyst showed high reusability, and the catalytic activity was retained constant over six consecutive cycles. The selectivity of the reaction was investigated. The results showed selectivity for secondary amines is higher than for primary amines. Additionally, aromatic amines have lower selectivity than aliphatic amines. FT-IR, 13CNMR, and 1HNMR were used to confirm the chemical structure of the products.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
