Mixed Oxides as Highly Selective Catalysts for the Flash Pyrolysis of Phenacyl Benzotriazole: One-Pot Synthesis of Dibenzazepin-7-one
The one-pot synthesis of dibenzo[<i>b</i>,<i>d</i>]azepin-7-one (<b>3</b>) was selectively
achieved from 1-phenacyl-1,2,3-benzotriazole (<b>1</b>) using
the catalytic flash vacuum pyrolysis (cfvp) methodology. Catalysts
with the scheelite structure ABO<sub>4</sub> (A = Ca<sup>2+</sup>,
Sr<sup>2+</sup>, Ba<sup>2+</sup> and B = Mo<sup>6+</sup>, W<sup>6+</sup>) and fergusonite BiVO<sub>4</sub> were explored in this new catalytic
reaction. These oxides promoted high conversion of starting material
at lower temperatures than those observed for noncatalytic reactions.
The chemical nature of A and B cations in the scheelite structure
showed a strong influence on the formation toward the desired azepinone.
In addition, the catalyst’s morphology had a significant influence
on the course of the cfvp reaction
