- The synergistic effect of copper chromite spinel nanoparticles (CuCr2O4) and basic ionic liquid on the synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids
-
Abstract: An efficient synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids using copper chromite spinel nanoparticles and basic ionic liquid is described. In this study, a relatively simple method starting with trans-cinnamic acid for the synthesis of (±)-trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a key intermediate in the synthesis of tranylcypromine sulfate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, was employed. Using a combination of basic ionic liquid [Bmim]OH and copper chromite spinel nanoparticles as a catalytic system, the best results were obtained in THF as a polar solvent. This method is a useful alternative to other approaches described in the literature. The use of commercially available chemicals, decreased environmental hazards, with no need for the separation of stereoisomers, and consequently a reduced number of overall steps, are the advantages of this approach that make it an appropriate choice at an increased scale.
