Impact of Hydrotalcite’s Basic Sites on the Catalyst Stability and the Branching Selectivity in α‑Hydroxyketone Aldolization
Reconstructed
hydrotalcites serve as powerful catalysts for the
aldolization of α-hydroxyketones, exemplified here by the glycerol-derived
dihydroxyacetone (DHA), toward the formation of branched hexoses (dendroketoses).
Due to the multichemical functionality of these hydroxyketones, various
competitive reactions such as keto-aldehyde isomerization (e.g., dihydroxyacetone
(DHA)/glyceraldehyde (GLA) equilibrium) are possible, reducing the
branching selectivity of the aldolization reaction. This study reveals
that the nature of the basic sites (as determined via CDCl3 probe FT-IR and CO2-TPD experiments) strongly affects
the branching selectivity of the condensation reaction as well as
the stability of the hydrotalcite catalyst. For instance, strong basic
sites not only allow the undesired keto-aldehyde isomerization but
also promote the Cannizzaro reactions toward the formation of organic
carboxylic acids leading to the catalyst leaching and waste generation.
Thus, subsequent chemical transformations of branched sugars cannot
occur without prior purification. For instance, the hydrogenation
toward biobased branched polyol, which is the industrial target in casu base condensation of DHA. Tuning the basic properties
of the reconstructed hydrotalcite based on this knowledge ultimately
led to an active, selective, and stable catalyst with improved regeneration
possibility
