Benefits of technology

Enables efficient recycling of catalysts with minimal solvent use, maintaining activity through multiple reaction cycles by selectively partitioning catalysts into one phase and products into another, overcoming kinetic barriers and solvent-intensive limitations.

Problems solved by technology

Filtration is typically a relative solvent-intensive process, because the recovered solid is typically rinsed with additional solvent.
Further, some polymer supported catalysts suffer from decreased activity once they are isolated via filtration.
This impacts their potential to be reused multiple times.
Precipitation / filtration obviously suffers from the same drawbacks associated with the filtration of insoluble polymer supported catalysts, described above.
Inadequate partitioning of the catalyst into the desired liquid phase often impairs liquid / liquid separations.
For example, liquid / liquid separation is impractical if the catalyst and the product are both soluble in the same phase.
Ultrafiltration of soluble catalysts using membranes has enjoyed some success, but the recycled catalysts often suffer from some loss of activity.
The drawback to biphasic systems is that the presence of multiple phases introduces kinetic barriers to reaction.

example 1

[0042] Unless otherwise noted, the general preparatory procedures described in this example were used for all of the examples. 4-tert-Butylstyrene was distilled before use. Benzoyl peroxide was recrystallized from CHCl3 / methanol. Toluene was distilled under nitrogen. Gas chromatographic analyses was performed on a Shimadzu instrument equipped with a 15-m SPB (poly(5%-diphenyl-95% dimethylsiloxane) normal phase fused-silica capillary column (0.53 ID). 1H NMR spectra were recorded on Varian VXR-300 or Unity p300 spectrometers at 300 MHz. Chemical shifts were reported in ppm with CHCl3 (7.27 ppm) as the internal standard. 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 75 MHz with CDCl3 (77.23 ppm) as the internal reference. Chemical shifts of 31P NMR spectra were reported in ppm with H3PO4 (0 ppm) as the internal standard. Gel permeation chromatography was performed using a Ranin SD-200 HPLC system equipped with Dynamax UV-C detector (at 254 nm). A TOSOH BIOSEP column (μm) was used. THF was used as ...

example 2

[0047] Poly(4-tert-butylstyrene)-co-poly(4-vinlybenzylchloride). A mixture of 18.3 mL of 4-tert-butylstyrene, 1.4 mL of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride and 240 mg of benzoyl peroxide were dissolved in 100 mL of toluene under nitrogen, and the solution was heated at 70° C. for 24 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was added dropwise to 500 mL of methanol to precipitate the product polymer. The product polymer was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy (CDCl3) δ 7.2-6.1 (br, m, 44H), 4.6-4.4 (br, s, 2H), 2.0-1.4 (br, m, 33H), 1.2 (br, s, 90H).

example 3

[0048] Dye-labeled poly(4-tert-butylstyrene) supported phosphine catalyst for Michael addition. Phosphine oxide substituted styrene was prepared by dissolving 4.9 g of 4-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid and 6 mL of dicyclohexylamine 20 mL of DMF and heating the solution to 70° C. for 20 minutes. At that point, 2.25 mL of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride was added, followed by a small amount of NaI. The mixture so formed was heated overnight. After filtration to remove the solid that formed, the DMF solution of the product was poured into water and extracted with dichloromethane. A crude product was obtained after removal of the CH2Cl2 under reduced pressure. This crude product was passed through silica gel, using 1: 1 hexanes:ethyl acetate as the eluent. Removal of the solvent yielded the product in 63% yield. 1H NMR: δ 8.2 (d, 5.9 Hz, 2H), 7.8-7.4 (m, 16H), 6.7 (dd, J=10.7, 17.5 Hz, IH), 5.8 (d, 17.5 Hz, IH), 5.4 (s, 2H), 5.2 (d, 10.7 Hz, IH). 13C NMR: δ 165.8, 136.5, 136.3, 133.4, 132.5, 132.4...

Abstract

Phase-selective soluble polymer supports for catalysts are described. The catalysts utilize polystyrene copolymers having enhanced solubility in nonpolar solvents. Other catalysts of the invention utilize polyisobutylene supports. Methods of catalyzing chemical reactions using latent biphasic solvents are also disclosed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is a non-provisional of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 408,586, filed Sept. 6, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to methods and compositions useful for catalyzing chemical reactions. In particular, phase selective polymer supports for catalysts and methods of using these supports to facilitate the recovery of catalysts are disclosed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Polymer supported catalysts are widely used in chemical processes. Much of the technology that is presently available derives from the solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques developed by Merrifield. These techniques are based on insoluble cross-linked polystyrene supports. Catalysts supported on Merrifield resins can be recovered from reaction media using a solid / liquid separation technique such as filtration. [0004] With the growing interest in envi...
