Abstract

A complex of composition [CuI4CuII(mtpo)4(H2O)2Cl2]n (1) was synthesized from reaction of Hmtpo (Hmtpo = 5-methyl-[l,2,4]-triazolo-[l,5-a]-pyrimidin-7-o1) with one equivalent of CuCl2·2H2O in water at 100 °C under autogenous pressure. Complex 1 was fully characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. X-ray analysis reveals that complex 1 is a mixed-valence coordination polymer and displays 1-D chain structure. Compound 1 was able to heterogeneously catalyze the ketalization reaction of 2-butanone and ethylene glycol to afford 2-ethyl-2-methyl-[1,3]-dioxolane in excellent yield under mild conditions.

      Usually, the reactions are conducted in an inert gas atmosphere in a temperature range of 70–110 °C, which yields a conversion rate of 60–95% depending on the method that is used [34–37]. Catalytic methods are based on metals (Fe), transition metal complexes, e.g. Cu, Ir [36,38] or metal oxides (ZrO2) that are supported on silica or aluminosilicates [34,35], surface-modified activated carbon [37] or polymeric fibers [39]. Other solutions include the use of low-temperature catalysts such as an SnO2 doped with W or Mo [30], ionic fluids [40] or the Amberlyst ion-exchange resin [41].

      Glycerol acetalization is an interesting alternative that can provide biodiesel additives, for example. The vast majority of reactions between polyols and ketones are performed by simply using strong inorganic or organic acids (H2SO4, HCl, HNO3, dichloroacetic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid) as catalysts [4,5], while other reactions are carried out in organic solvents, such as toluene [6], 1.4-dioxane [7], tetrahydrofuran [8], cyclohexane [9,10], dichloromethane [11]. These reactions can also be catalyzed by the complexes of d-block metals, e.g. Cu, Ir [6,12], metal oxides (ZrO2) supported on silica or aluminosilicates [13,14], active carbon modified on the surface [7] or polymer fibers [9].
