Preparative microdroplet synthesis of carboxylic acids from aerobic oxidation of aldehydes

, p. 5207 - 5211 (2018)
Single liquid-phase and liquid-liquid phase reactions in microdroplets have shown much faster kinetics than that in the bulk phase. This work extends the scope of microdroplet reactions to gas-liquid reactions and achieves preparative synthesis. We report highly efficient aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids in microdroplets. Molecular oxygen plays two roles: (1) as the sheath gas to shear the aldehyde solution into microdroplets, and (2) as the sole oxidant. The dramatic increase of the surface-area-to-volume ratio of microdroplets compared to bulk solution, and the efficient mixing of gas and liquid phases using spray nozzles allow effective mass transfer between aldehydes and molecular oxygen. The addition of catalytic nickel(ii) acetate is shown to accelerate further microdroplet reactions of this kind. We show that aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic aldehydes can be oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids in a mixture of water and ethanol using the nickel(ii) acetate catalyst, in moderate to excellent yields (62-91%). The microdroplet synthesis is scaled up to make it preparative. For example, aerobic oxidation of 4-tert-butylbenzaldehyde to 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid was achieved at a rate of 10.5 mg min-1 with an isolated product yield of 66%.

, p. 2822 - 2829 (2010)
A new procedure for the selective and direct oxidation of aliphatic primary alcohols having substitution at - and -positions to corresponding carboxylic acids was developed using a catalytic amount of ligand and additive-free CuCl with anhydrous tBuOOH in acetonitrile solvent under very mild reaction conditions. This procedure is very simple and mild and works efficiently without any additives at room temperature.

The organocatalyzed aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to acids was reproduced from the original report. In- and ex-situ analysis of the reaction mixture as the function of time reveals that, unlike the claim in the publication, the aerobic oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes leads predominantly to the formation of peracids. The latter are transformed into the corresponding carboxylic acids during the workup procedure. The buildup of peracids in solution poses safety problems that should not be overlooked. This finding has also an influence on the way new catalysts are investigated to improve this reaction as well as on aerobic aldehyde-mediated co-oxidation.
Mechanistic Insights into the Aerobic Oxidation of Aldehydes: Evidence of Multiple Reaction Pathways during the Liquid Phase Oxidation of 2-Ethylhexanal
Vanoye, Laurent,Favre-Réguillon, Alain
, p. 335 - 346 (2022/02/10)
The liquid-phase aldehyde oxidation by molecular oxygen (autoxidation) has been known for about 2 centuries and is a critical organic transformation in both industrial applications and academic research. However, the general reaction pathway proposed for the aerobic oxidation of aldehydes into the corresponding carboxylic acid exhibits some inconstancies, in particular, for β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes. Thus, the liquid-phase aerobic oxidation of 2-ethylhexanal was further studied in acetonitrile at 20 °C with O2 at atmospheric pressure. By precisely monitoring the primary intermediate (peracid), product (carboxylic acid), and byproducts as a function of time and catalysts used, we demonstrated the pivotal role of the acylperoxy radical. The direct formation of peracid and carboxylic acid from the latter was highlighted by analyzing the composition of the reaction mixture at low conversion. Peracid could be converted into carboxylic acid by metal catalysts or through reaction workup. Consequently, the commonly accepted pathway of aerobic oxidation of aldehyde via a Criegee intermediate can be overlooked under these conditions.

We report the discovery that simple carboxylic acids, such as benzoic acid, boost the activity of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts in the oxidative esterification of aldehydes. A simple and efficient protocol for the transformation of a wide range of sterically hindered α- and β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes/enals, catalyzed by a novel and readily accessible N-Mes-/N-2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 1,2,4-triazolium salt, and benzoic acid as co-catalyst, was developed. A whole series of α/β-substituted aliphatic aldehydes/enals hitherto not amenable to NHC-catalyzed esterification could be reacted at typical catalyst loadings of 0.02–1.0 mol %. For benzaldehyde, even 0.005 mol % of NHC catalyst proved sufficient: the lowest value ever achieved in NHC catalysis. Preliminary studies point to carboxylic acid-induced acceleration of acyl transfer from azolium enolate intermediates as the mechanistic basis of the observed effect.
