Several methodologies for obtaining fuel additives from glycerin have been proposed, but require a very long reaction time. In this context, they were prepared niobia catalytic and tested in babassu oil transesterification and glycerin etherification. It was made the investigated the influence of microwaves in the glycerin tert-butylation reaction to production of glycerol ethers, potential additive for diesel oil. The reactions of tert-butilation were evaluated by acid catalysis homogeneous and heterogeneous, and without catalyst. It was applied in the optimization of chemometric techniques in glycerin tert-butilation, catalyzed with sulfuric acid and microwave heating, based on the percentage of conversion of glycerin quantified by a chromatographic method. Finally, we analyzed the diesel oil (B5) added with the glycerol ethers according to some physical-chemical parameters and gas emissions. Microwave heating applied in the reactions of glycerin tertbutilation to formation of glycerol ethers in short reaction time compared with the reaction using heating by thermal conduction, and the variables that most influence the process: catalyst and reaction time. The niobia catalysts did not show good catalytic activity in glycerin tert-butilation with microwave heating, due to the absence of agitation the reaction system, but implementation of niobia anchored on alumina, provided a babassu oil transesterification and heating by thermal conduction, with a income of more than 90%. The chromatographic method developed showed an excellent separation and resolution of the compounds under study, and a good linearity, precision and accuracy. The mixture B5/GTBE made some changes in its physico-chemical and pollutant emissions, confirming its potential for such particular purpose. / Atualmente existe um grande interesse por derivados de glicerina, em virtude da elevada produção de glicerina bruta nas indústrias brasileiras de biodiesel. Diversas metodologias para obtenção de aditivos combustíveis a partir da glicerina têm sido propostas, entretanto demandam um tempo de reação muito prolongado. Neste contexto, foram preparados catalisadores de niobia e testados em reações de transesterificação do óleo de babaçu e eterificação da glicerina. Fez-se a investigação da influência das microondas na reação de terc-butilação da glicerina produzindo éteres de glicerina, aditivos potenciais para o diesel de petróleo. As reações de terc-butilação foram avaliadas por catálise ácida homogênea e heterogênea, e desprovidas de catalisador. Aplicou-se técnicas quimiométricas na otimização da terc-butilação de glicerina, catalisada com ácido sulfúrico e aquecimento por microondas, em função do percentual da conversão da glicerina quantificada por um método cromatográfico. E por fim, analisou-se o óleo diesel (B5) aditivado com os éteres de glicerina (GTBE) segundo alguns parâmetros físico-químicos e emissões de gases. O aquecimento por microondas aplicado nas reações de tercbutilação da glicerina conduziu à formação de éteres de glicerina em menor tempo de reação comparado com a reação utilizando aquecimento por condução térmica, sendo as variáveis que mais influenciaram no processo: catalisador e tempo de reação. Os catalisadores de niobia não apresentaram boa atividade catalítica na terc-butilação da glicerina com aquecimento por microondas, devido à ausência da agitação no sistema reacional, mas a aplicação da niobia ancorada na alumina proporcionou transesterificação do óleo de babaçu aliado ao aquecimento por condução térmica com rendimento com mais de 90%. O método cromatográfico desenvolvido apresentou excelente separação e resolução dos compostos em estudo, além de uma boa linearidade, precisão e exatidão. A mistura B5/GTBE apresentou valores aceitáveis de parâmetros físico-químicos e emissões de gases, confirmando seu potencial como aditivo.

Dans cette thèse, nous avons décrit de nouvelles méthodes pour la préparation de polymères et de produits chimiques à partir de ressources renouvelables:Premièrement, nous avons défini une nouvelle méthode de préparation de sulfonamides, utilisant des nitro-aromatiques et des sels de sulfinate de sodium, dans une solution aqueuse de bisulfite de sodium, en tant qu’agent réducteur non toxique. Le produit a été séparé par une simple filtration. La réaction montre une chimio-sélectivité complète, seuls les substrats nitro déficitaire en électrons sont réactifs. Cependant, et contrairement à la littérature, les sels de sulfinate de sodium aromatiques et aliphatiques se sont révélés réactifs dans nos conditions. De plus, nous avons utilisé cette méthode pour préparer de manière écologique le catalyseur de zinc décrit par Karamé et al. et utilisé pour la cycloaddition du dioxyde de carbone avec des époxydes, afin d'accéder aux monomères de polycarbonates pour la préparation de polyuréthane non isocyanate.Ensuite, nous avons étudié la préparation de bis-carbonate de mannitol à partir de mannitol, en utilisant le carbonate de diméthyle comme réactif et comme solvant. Le carbonate de glycérol a été utilisé comme co-solvant en raison de ses propriétés de solubilisation intéressantes. La possibilité de synthèse des monomères diamines entièrement renouvelables a également été étudiée en utilisant des derives des sucres comme la furfurylamine et le 5-méthylfurfural. Nous avons également etudier l’aminolyse du bis-carbonate du mannitol avec la furfurylamine à la température ambiante. De plus, nous avons comparé la stabilité de ce carbonate avec les monomères carbonates commerciaux en utilisant une analyse gravimétrique thermique.Enfin, nous avons préparé le diester de 4,4'-oxydipentanoate de diéthyle à partir de lévulinate d'éthyle par éthérification réductrice sans solvant, catalysée par du triflate de cuivre, en utilisant du tétraméthydisiloxane comme agent réducteur. En outre, nous avons prouvé que ce nouveau monomère était utilisable dans la préparation des polyesters et des polyamides, dans des conditions de polycondensation classiques, en utilisant le propane diol et l’hexaméthylène diamine comme monomères modèles / In this thesis, we describe new methods for the preparation of polymers and chemicals from renewable resources: First we have defined new method for the preparation of sulfonamides, using nitro aromatics and sodium sulfinate salts, in aqueous sodium bisulfite solution as a non toxic reducing agent. The product was separated by simple filtration and the reaction show full chemoslectivity, only electron poor nitro substrates are reactive. However, in contrast with the literature, aromatic and aliphatic sodium sulfinate salts were found reactive under our conditions. In addition, we have used this method to prepare, in a green way, the active zinc catalyst reported by Karamé et al. for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxydes, in order to access to polycarbonates monomers for non-isocyanate polyurethane preparation.Then, we have investigated the preparation of high purity mannitol bis-carbonate from mannitol using dimethyl carbonate as a reagent and as a solvent. Glycerol carbonate was used as co-solvent due to its interesting solubilization properties. The possibility of the synthesis of fully renewable diamine monomers was also investigated using furfurylamine and 5-methylfurfural derivated from sugars. We have also uncovered its high reactivity toward uncatalyzed aminolysis with furfurylamine at room temperature. Furthermore, we have compared the stability of this carbonate with existing commercial monomers using thermal gravimetric analysis.Finally, we prepared the diethyl 4,4'-oxydipentanoate diester from renewable ethyl levulinate was prepared by solventless reductive etherification, catalyzed by copper triflate, using tetramethydisiloxane as safe and low-cost reducing agent. Besides, we have proved the usability of this new monomer in the preparation of sustainable polyesters and polyamides, under classical polycondensation conditions, using propane diol and hexamethylene diamine as model monomers

L’objectif du projet est de préparer de nouveaux copolyéthers hydrophiles biosourcés, non ioniques, pour des applications cosmétiques proches de celles du polyéthylène glycol (PEG). Le polytriméthylène éther glycol (PTEG), dont la structure ressemble à celle du PEG, a été synthétisé par polymérisation du 1,3-propanediol biosourcé (PDO) en catalyse acide. Parmi les catalyseurs testés, l’acide sulfurique est le plus approprié pour polymériser le PDO sans dégradation excessive. Pour augmenter la solubilité du PTEG dans l’eau, des copolymères associant des unités PDO et des unités hydrosolubles type isosorbide et glycérol ont été envisagés. Ainsi, nous avons montré que l’éthérification en catalyse acide entre l’isosorbide et le PDO (ou le PTEG) conduit à de nouvelles structures de copolyéthers que nous avons finement caractérisés par RMN et spectrométrie de masse. Ces copolyéthers ont des extrémités préférentiellement constituées d’unités isosorbide, du fait d’un différentiel de réactivité entre le PDO et l’isosorbide. En revanche, l’éthérification du PDO et du glycérol par catalyse à l’acide sulfurique ou par catalyse basique n’a pas abouti. En effet, dans le premier cas, on observe une très forte dégradation voire une réticulation et dans le deuxième cas, seule l’homopolymérisation du glycérol est observée. Pour compléter, la réaction entre du carbonate de glycérol et un oligomère de PTEG donne les dérivés souhaités, même si le milieu réactionnel reste riche en polyglycérol libre. Les produits les plus prometteurs de l’étude sont des copolyéthers de PDO et d’isosorbide, d’environ 600 g/mol, obtenus par éthérification en catalyse acide. Ces nouveaux copolyéthers ont des bouts de chaînes constitués d’unités isosorbide, sont hydrosolubles et ont une stabilité thermique améliorée par rapport aux PTEG. / The aim of this project is to prepare some new hydrophilic biobased copolyethers for cosmetic applications, similar to those of polyethylene glycol (PEG). Synthesis of polytrimethylene ether glycol (PTEG) which has a chemical structure close to the PEG was studied by polymerizing 1,3-propanediol (PDO) with sulfuric acid as catalyst. This acid catalyst is appropriate to promote the polymerization of PDO without excessive degradation. We tried to increase the solubility of PTEG in water by combining to PDO units hydrophilic monomers, such as isosorbide and glycerol, to the PDO units. We showed that etherification of isosorbide and PDO (or PTEG), in the presence of acid catalyst, gives new copolyethers structures, deeply characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy. These copolyethers are preferably ended by isosorbide units due to different reactivity between isosorbide and PDO. The etherification of the PDO and glycerol with sulfuric acid results in a cross-linked and degraded product. Basic catalytic route favored the polymerization of glycerol on itself rather than the etherification on PDO units. We also grafted glycerol carbonate on PTEG oligomer but obtained a complex composition mixture rich in polyglycerol. The most promising products of the study are PDO and isosorbide copolyethers with a molar mass of 600 g/mol, obtained by etherification with sulfuric acid as catalyst. These copolyethers have chain ends constituted by isosorbide units, are water soluble and have a higher thermal stability compared to PTEG.

<p>Allylic amines are important and fundamental building blocks due to their wide-spread occurrence in many natural products and the ability to further functionalize them by transformations on the double bond to generate a diverse range of compounds. Transition-metal catalyzed allylic substitution represents an attractive and efficient approach towards the synthesis of these allylic amines. However, limitations associated with the traditional methods developed for such allylic amination in terms of regiospecificity, atom economy and generality in these transformations, combined with the importance of allylic amination, prompted us to develop novel atom efficient and regiospecific methods for their synthesis.</p><p>A 1:1 mixture of AuCl[P(<italic>t</italic>-Bu)₂<italic>o</italic>-biphenyl] (5 mol %) and AgSbF₆ (5 mol %) catalyzed the intermolecular amination of underivatized allylic alcohols with 1-methyl-2-imidazolidinone and related nucleophiles. The first examples of intermolecular allylic amination was developed that in the case of gamma-unsubstituted and gamma-methyl-substituted allylic alcohols, occurred with high gamma-regioselectivity and <italic>syn</italic>-stereoselectivity.</p><p>A 1:1 mixture of AuCl[P(<italic>t</italic>-Bu)₂<italic>o</italic>-biphenyl] (5 mol %) and AgSbF₆ (5 mol %) also served as a very efficient catalytic system for the intramolecular amination of allylic alcohols with alkylamines to form substituted pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives. The protocol was effective for a range of secondary as well as primary alkylamines as nucleophiles with different substitutions on the alkyl chain tethering the nucleophile to the allylic alcohol. The method was also extended towards the total synthesis of the naturally occurring alkaloid (S)-(+)-coniine in two steps from the starting (R,Z)-8-(N-benzylamino)-3-octen-2-ol. In addition, gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of (R,Z)-8-(N-benzylamino)-3-octen-2-ol (96% ee) led to isolation of (R,E)-1-benzyl-2-(1-propenyl)piperidine in 99% yield and 96% ee that established the net syn-addition of the nucleophile with respect to the departing hydroxyl group.</p><p> A bis(gold) phosphine complex (S)-Au₂Cl₂(DTBM-MeOBIPHEP) (2.5 mol %) and AgClO₄ (5 mol %) catalyzed the intramolecular enantioselective dehydrative amination of allylic alcohols with carbamates to form the corresponding substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, morpholines and piperazines in excellent yields and with up to 95% ee. This general and effective protocol tolerated a range of carbamates as well as sulfonamides as nucleophiles. Cyclization of chiral amino allylic alcohols that possessed a stereogenic homoallylic or hydroxy-bound carbon atom occurred with an overriding catalyst control of asymmetric induction. In addition, stereochemical analysis of the cyclization of a chiral non-racemic secondary allylic alcohol established the net syn-displacement of the hydroxy group by the carbamate nucleophile.</p><p>Alongside allylic amination, a cationic gold(I)-N-heteocyclic carbene complex catalyzed the intermolecular etherification (alkoxylation) of allylic alcohols in a regiospecific and syn-stereoselective fashion. The transformation was highly efficient to utilize unactivated primary and secondary alcohols as nucleophiles with different allylic alcohols to undergo regiospecific etherification. Employment of a chiral nonracemic secondary allylic alcohol, trans-5-(benzyloxy)pent-3-en-2-ol (98% ee) showed a high level of chirality transfer on reaction with n-butanol to the corresponding allylic ether, (2-butoxypent-3-en-1-yloxy)methylbenzene (97% ee) and established the net syn-addition of the alcohol nucleophile with respect to the departing hydroxyl group of the allylic alcohol.</p> / Dissertation

2-Benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (commonly referred to as benzyloxypyridinium triflate or Dudley’s salt) is a novel protecting reagent for the conversion of an alcohol functional group into a benzyl ether. This novel protecting reagent allows for protection of an alcohols, carboxylic acids, and other nucleophiles under mild conditions. The two traditional methods of forming this benzyl ether rely on either basic (Williamson ether synthesis) or acidic (coupling via trichloroacetimidate with a strong acid) conditions which may potentially decompose sensitive substrates. This research will investigate the mechanism by which benzyloxypyridinium triflate decomposes. Investigation of benzyloxypyridinium triflate will require two aspects, synthesis of various derivatives and a rate study. The synthesis of benzyloxypyridinium triflate derivatives (broadly named benzyloxypyridinium salts) will result in a series of new compounds, along with new synthetic routes to make them. Testing the derivatives to ensure they form the expected benzyl ether or ester then allows for investigation of the rate for each derivative as they form the benzyl ether. Among the various techniques that may be employed to study the mechanism, rate studies will be a significant portion of data used to draw a conclusion. Each derivative of the benzyloxypyridinium triflate is designed to affect the rate of decomposition thereby changing the rate of benzyl ether formation by either promoting or impeding the formation of a carbocation. Monitoring the rate of each derivative and comparing that rate to the rate of the benzyloxy- pyridinium triflate will give insight to a mechanistic pathway, indicating whether the pathway is more unimolecular or bimolecular. An immediate application of a known mechanism could lead to more desirable conditions for the benzyloxypyridinim triflate when forming the benzyl ether. In addition, having an understanding of the mechanism allows for the utility of arylmethylpyridinium salts to be expanded by allowing the pyridinium salt to deliver a variety of different electrophiles. The mechanism will also allow for different nucleophiles to trap the corresponding electrophile from the pyridinium salt. / No title page or introductory pages in thesis body PDF. / Department of Chemistry

Thus, it is necessary to replace the use of petroleum and its derivatives by bioproduct. The petroleum derivatives can pollute soil and water further the air. As an example, only a quarter of fossil lubricants manufactured in the world are recycled, causing a huge range of toxic waste to the environment. So the aim of this work is to synthesize a biolubricant less aggressive to the environment, certainly do not contain synthetic additives, viscosity modifiers, corrosion inhibitors and high concentration of heavy metals, as well as increasing the rate of manufacture process then they cause irreparable damage for the diverse ecosystems. The biolubricant was synthetized via alkylation, etherification and esterification reactions of linseed oil. The biolubricant obtained showed excellent physicochemical properties such as high flash point, viscosity, lubricity and thermal stability, it also showed low acid value, volatility, pour point and cloud point, not being corrosive to copper, with good oxidative stability, and compete in the global lubricants market. / Nos últimos anos tem crescido as preocupações sobre a preservação do meio ambiente e a ampliação do uso de produtos renováveis e de baixa toxicidade. Portanto, tem-se procurado substituir o uso de petróleo e seus derivados por bioprodutos. Além da poluição atmosférica, os derivados de petróleo podem contaminar o solo e a água. Como exemplo cita-se que apenas um quarto dos lubrificantes fósseis produzidos no mundo é reciclado, gerando uma quantidade gigantesca de resíduos tóxicos à natureza. Assim, este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de sintetizar um biolubrificante renovável, menos agressivo ao meio ambiente, que não contenha aditivos sintéticos, modificadores de viscosidade, inibidores de corrosão e elevada quantidade de metais pesados, visando diminuir custos de produção e minimizar impactos para os diferentes ecossistemas. O biolubrificante foi sintetizado via reação de alquilação, eterificação e esterificação do óleo de linhaça. O biolubrificante obtido apresentou excelentes propriedades físico-químicas como elevado ponto de fulgor, índice de viscosidade, lubricidade e estabilidade térmica, além de apresentar baixo índice de acidez, volatilidade, ponto de fluidez e névoa, não ser corrosivo ao cobre e apresentar adequada estabilidade oxidativa, demonstrando elevada capacidade de empregabilidade no mercado de lubrificantes mundiais.

One way of valuing the glycerin is its etherification to be used as oxygenate additives in diesel. In this work we studied the production of glycerin ethers using alcohols cyclohexanol, isoamyl, benzyl, tert-butyl, methyl and isopropyl alcohol as eterificantes in the presence of acid catalysts, acid p-toluene sulfonic acid, the ion exchange resin Amberlyst 15 and niobia and alumina catalysts modified. The reactions were performed in high-pressure reactor and flask with a reflux system. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained products were performed using the technique of Thin Layer Chromatography, Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry and Infrared Spectroscopy. The reactions which have the highest incomes were those processed in the presence of Amberlyst 15 with benzyl alcohols and tert-butyl-ether yielding 60.46% and 65.68% of mono-etherified glycerin, respectively, and with the tertiary butyl alcohol butyl alcohol in the presence of alumina catalyst modified with cerium obtaining 59.45% of glycerin ethers. Samples of pure diesel were doped with the reaction products of benzyl alcohol and tert-butyl ether at a ratio of 0.5 and 5.0%, v / v, which do not significantly influence the properties of diesel. / Atualmente, o crescimento da produção mundial de biodiesel está gerando um grande excedente de glicerina, desvalorizando-a no mercado, sendo necessário transformá-la em produtos de maior valor agregado. Uma das formas de valorizar a glicerina é a sua eterificação para ser aplicado como aditivos oxigenados em diesel. No presente trabalho estudou-se à produção de éteres de glicerina usando os alcoóis ciclohexanol, isoamílico, benzílico, terc-butílico, metílico e isopropílico como eterificantes, na presença de catalisadores ácidos, o ácido p-tolueno sulfônico, a resina de troca iônica Amberlyst 15 e catalisadores de nióbia e alumina modificados. As reações foram realizadas em reator de alta pressão e balão com sistema de refluxo. As análises qualitativas e quantitativas dos produtos obtidos foram realizadas usando a técnica de Cromatografia de Camada Delgada, Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada à Espectrometria de Massas e Espectroscopia no Infravermelho. As reações que apresentaram maiores rendimentos foram àquelas processadas na presença da Amberlyst 15 com os alcoóis benzílico e terc-butílico obtendo-se 60,46% e 65,68% do mono-eterificado de glicerina, respectivamente, e ainda com o álcool terc-butílico na presença do catalisador alumina modificada com cério obtendo-se 59,45% de éteres de glicerina. As amostras de diesel puras foram aditivadas com os produtos reacionais do álcool benzílico e terc-butílico na proporção de 0,5 e 5,0%, v/v, os quais não influenciaram significamente nas propriedades do diesel.

Lignin is the most abundant source of naturally occurring aromatic compounds but has mainly been considered as waste material or energy source in the pulp and paper industry. However, due to the drive to find new material applications derived from renewable resources, there are extensive research activities aiming to develop new routes to utilize this source toward novel polymer materials. In this project, cinnamyl alcohol was used as a benchmark substrate in determining the most favorable reaction conditions for the optimal dehydrative etherification of allylic alcohols. The optimal reaction conditions determined for cinnamyl alcohol aimed to be applied to the etherification of the structurally similar, lignin-derived coniferyl alcohol to produce a bio-based allylic ether of relevance for biomaterial applications. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the investigation of the etherification of coniferyl alcohol could not be conducted and the project had to be limited to the synthesis of 2-phenylethyl cinnamyl ether. Thus, this project serves as a pre-study for the sustainable etherification of lignin-derived allylic alcohols of relevance for biomaterials. The optimal reaction conditions for the synthesis of 2-phenylethyl cinnamyl ether was concluded to be 0.25 M cinnamyl alcohol and 1.00 M 2-phenylethanol as initial concentration of the reactants, 0.02 M Zr(Cp)2(OTf)2 ∙ THF as initial concentration of the catalyst, benzotrifluoride as solvent, a reaction mixture temperature of 60 °C, and a reaction time of four hours. Using optimized reaction conditions, coniferyl alcohol, a lignin-derived allylic alcohol, could in further research be evaluated as a sustainably sourced allylating agent with potential for biomaterial purposes.
