ABSTRACT

 

NH-propyl-(1R,2S)-(+)-cis-1-amino-2-indanol (Pr-AIL) was immobilized on SBA-15 by a step by step post-synthesis modification method. (3-chloropropyl) trimethoxysilane (3-CPTMS) was functionalized on SBA-15 further the silanol groups were passivated by dimethoxydimethylsilane [Pr-SBA-15]. There after (1R,2S)-(+)-cis-1-amino-2-indanol (1R,2S-AIL) was anchored over functionalized SBA-15 [PrAIL-SBA-15]. The heterogeneous catalysts were synthesized by complexation of PrAIL-SBA-15 using [RuCl2(benzene)]2 and [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 in 2-propanol at reflux condition and were designated as Ru-1 and Ru-2, respectively. The synthesized heterogeneous materials were characterized by small angle X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption
isotherms, Fourier-transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, 29Si magic angle spinning (MAS) and 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) NMR spectroscopies, intensively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Further, the synthesized and characterized heterogeneous materials were successfully applied in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) reaction of simple prochiral ketones. The reactions were exhibited high catalytic activities and excellent enantioselectivities for most of the simple aromatic ketones. The factors such as time, temperature, amount of solvent, and base also were studied in detail by keeping acetophenone as a model molecule and Ru-1 as a catalyst. In particular, these heterogeneous catalysts could be readily recovered by simple filtration and reused in multiple consecutive catalytic runs without losing the enantiomeric excess (ee) values.
