In this study, NCP@POCl2-x (Fe3O4@SiO2@chitosan@POCl2-x) has been introduced as a new, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient heterogeneous magnetic nanocatalyst for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. This catalyst facilitates the in situ transformation of POCl2-x to PO(OH)2 in the presence of water, effectively converting β-hydroxy nitriles into α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids through a specific mechanism involving water and heat. The reactions display notable regioselectivity, leading to high-purity products and quantitative yields. NCP@PO(OH)2 exhibits heterogeneity, magnetic properties, straightforward recovery, and outstanding performance, making it a valuable catalyst for efficient and selective transformations of β-hydroxy nitriles. Additionally, it can be easily separated from the mixture of reactions using external magnetic forces.","PeriodicalId":18116,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Organic Chemistry","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141197322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesis of the desired compound has been achieved by iodine/DMSO-mediated aromatization. The synthesized product has been characterized using MS spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy data. The treatment of the himachalene mixture with iodine led to the formation of dehydro-7,8-arylhimachalene, along with other rearrangement products catalyzed by the hydroiodic acid formed in situ. The use of DMSO as a co-solvent enabled the elimination of the acid formed and the regeneration of iodine.
