  1. Surfactants as Catalysts for Organic Reactions in Water Atefeh Garzan 11/07/07

  2. Homogeneous catalysts: • Brønsted acid catalysis: • Lewis acid catalysis: - Advantages: high activity, selectivity - Disadvantages: separation and recycling problems • Homogeneous catalysis: catalyst is in the same phase as reactants.

  3. Heterogeneous catalysts: • Heterogeneous catalysis: catalyst is in a different phase than reactants. - Metals alone - Metals plus other component - Advantages: easy separation and recovery - Disadvantages: less activity and selectivity

  4. Other catalysts: • New Methods to combine the benefits: - high activity, selectivity - easy separation and recovery • Transfer a homogeneous catalyst into a multi phase system: - surfactant - phase transfer system - organic or inorganic support: H. Turkt, W. Ford, J. Org. Chem.1991, 56, 1253. C. Starks, J. Am. Chem. Soc.1971, 93, 195.

  5. Surfactant: surfactant Surface Active Agent • Surfactants have amphiphilic structure: Hydrophilic Hydrophobic

  6. Classification of surfactant: • Anionic • Cationic • Amphoteric • Nonionic Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) Cetylpyridinium bromide Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (lecithin) Polyoxyethylene 4 lauryl ether

  7. Behavior of surfactants: • When a molecule with amphiphilic structure is dissolved in aqueous medium, the hydrophobic group distorts the structure of the water. • As a result of this distortion, some of the surfactant molecules are expelled to the surfaces of the system with their hydrophobic groups orientedto minimize contact with the water molecules. Nonpolar tail Polar head

  8. Micelle formation: • When the water surface is or begin to be saturated, the overall energy reduction may continue through another mechanism: • Micelle formation Hunter, Foundations of Colloid Science, p. 572, 1993.

  9. Driving force: Hydrophobic effect Electrostatic repulsion Formation of the micelle No formation of the micelle

  10. Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC): • CMC decreases with increasing alkyl chain length • CMC increases as the polar head becomes larger. • CMC of neutral surfactants lower than ionic CMC Hydrophobic effect Electrostatic repulsion

  11. Krafft temperature: • For surfactants there exists a critical temperature above which solubility rapidly increases (equals CMC) and micelles form  Krafft point or Krafft temperature (TK ) • Krafft point strongly depends on the size of head group and counterion.

  12. Surfactant aggregates:

  13. Surfactant in organic reaction: • Easy separation and recovery, high activity, selectivity. • In this system, we can use water as solvent; in water, surfactants can: - Act as a catalyst - Help to solubilize the organic compounds in water • In comparison to organic solvents, water is: - Cheap - Safe - Less harmful

  17. Micellar catalysis: • A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed in the process. [A---B] ≠ • A + B A_B • Rate= k [A][B] energy activation energy activation energy • The reactants are concentrated through insertion to the micelle. • The TS≠ can be stabilized by interaction of polar head group. A+B uncatalyzed reaction catalyzed reaction A_B time

  18. Lewis acid catalysis: • Lewis acid catalysis is generally carried out under strictly anhydrous conditions because of the water-labile nature of most Lewis acids. • Some metal salts such as rare earth metal triflates can be used as water-stable Lewis acids.

  28. Role of water: • Hydrophobic interactions in water lead to increase the local concentration of substrates, resulting in the higher reaction rate in water. • Hydration of Sc(III) ion and the counterion by water leads to dissociation of the LASC salt to form highly Lewis acidic species such as [Sc(H2O)n]+3. .Manabe, Y.
