Sarmiento, Jeymy T. published the artcileFavoring Alkane Primary Carbon-Hydrogen Bond Functionalization in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as Reaction Medium, Safety of Ethyl octanoate, the main research area is alkane primary carbon hydrogen bond functionalization supercritical carbon dioxide.
The selectivity of a catalytic alkane functionalization process can be modified just changing the reaction medium from neat alkane to supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). A silica supported copper complex bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand promotes the functionalization of carbon-hydrogen bonds of alkanes by transferring the CHCO2Et group from N2=CHCO2Et (Et diazoacetate, EDA). In neat hexane only 3% of the primary C-H bonds (Et heptanoate being the product) are functionalized in that manner, whereas the same reaction carried out in scCO2 provides a 30% yield in this linear ester. Such effect seems to be induced by an electronic d. flux from the NHC ligand to the surrounding carbon dioxide mols.
