铼催化脂肪酸高价碘的脱羧官能化反应研究

The presence of organic carboxylic acids in the raw petroleum oil is detrimental to the purification equipments of petroleum oil. Meanwhile, the green, renewable fatty acids hold great potential for developing new alternative energy products of petroleum oil.The key problem in the above two issues is the activation of inert C-C bonds in aliphatic carboxylic acids. In order to meet the need of new energy products, here we propose to explore the Re-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of simple aliphatic carboxylic acids via C-C bond activation. Through the introduction of proper ligands, a series of reactive rhenium catalysts will be synthesized in order to tune their redox potentials thus enhancing the electron transfer between the rhenium catalysts and the aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives. By merging rhenium catalysis and aliphatic carboxylic acid-derived hypervalent iodine reagents, diverse decarboxylative reactions will be developed. Also, the difunctionalization or multifunctionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins and alkynes will be achieved with aliphatic carboxylic acid-derived hypervalent iodine reagents via decarboxylation. Furthermore, the decarboxylative fluoroalkylation reactions of olefins and alkynes from the hypervalent iodine reagents of fluoro-containing aliphatic carboxylic acids will be investigated. In addition, the mechanism of decarboxylation and the ensuing C-C bond and C-X bond (X = heteroatom) formation promoted by rhenium will be throughly studied by means of varied experimental and computational tools. In the end, the rhenium-based decarboxylative synthetic methodology of high efficacy and selectivity are to be established.
