Abstract
Tonsil Actisil FF, which is a commercial bentonitic clay, promotes the formation of cycloveratrylene macrocycles and benzyl oligomers from the corresponding benzyl alcohols in good yields under microwave heating and infrared irradiation in the absence of solvent in both cases. The catalytic reaction is sensitive to the type of substituent on the aromatic ring. Thus, when benzyl alcohol was substituted with a methylenedioxy, two methoxy or three methoxy groups, a cyclooligomerisation process was induced. Unsubstituted, methyl and methoxy benzyl alcohols yielded linear oligomers. In addition, computational chemistry calculations were performed to establish a validated mechanistic pathway to explain the growth of the obtained linear oligomers.

Effects of bentonite on p-methoxybenzyl acetate: a theoretical model for oligomerization via an electrophilic-substitution mechanism. Molecules 2011; 16:1761-75. [PMID: 21339711 PMCID: PMC6259743 DOI: 10.3390/molecules16021761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2010] [Revised: 02/14/2011] [Accepted: 02/15/2011] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Tonsil Actisil FF, a commercial bentonitic clay, promotes the formation of a series of electrophilic-aromatic-substitution products from para-methoxybenzyl acetate in carbon disulfide. The molecules obtained correspond to linear isomeric dimers, trimers, tetramers and a pentamer, according to their spectroscopic data. A clear indication of the title mechanistic pathway for the oligomerization growth was obtained from the analysis of a set of computational-chemistry calculations using the density-functional-theory level B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p). The corresponding conclusions were based on the computed dipole moments, the HOMO/LUMO distributions, and a natural-populations analysis of the studied molecules.

Abstract
Mass spectrometric detection and identification of ortho- and para-benzyltoluenes and oligotoluenes, C(21)-C(49), in several reaction mixtures was performed. Thus, the corresponding electron impact spectra were acquired and analyzed, this in addition to constant B/E linked scans and high-resolution data. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
