The Michael additions of various nucleophiles to maleimides results in such compounds. In the industry, since the upraise of environmental awareness, there is a huge demand of sustainable synthetic methods. Therefore, efficient alternative reaction activations are highly examined. Asymmetric catalytic processes have been developed for Michael additions to maleimides under batch conditions using organocatalysts. Our aim was to implement mechanochemical activation in these reactions because of its huge benefits over the conventional methods, i.e. the possibility of applying solvent-free conditions and the significantly reduced reaction times. We set the goal to prepare N-substituted succinimides with high yields and enantioselectivity using isobutyraldehyde as nucleophile and L-phenylalanine adsorbed on the surface of inorganic oxides (Bentolite H and Laponite RD) as heterogeneous organocatalyst. N-methylmaleimide as reactant was used to optimise the reaction and milling parameters. We also studied the structure of the catalyst using different methods to examine the deposition of L-Phe on the inorganic oxide. As a result of our studies, optimal conditions were determined to carry out the preparation of various N-substituted succinimides, which may be a significant step in the development of sustainable industrial synthetic methods. publisher: University of Szeged date: 2024 type: Konferencia vagy workshop anyag type: NonPeerReviewed format: part language: hu identifier: http://acta.bibl.u-szeged.hu/85747/1/proceedings_of_isaep_2024_313-317.pdf identifier: Kőszegi Kristóf András; Szabados Márton; Szőllősi György: Mechanochemically assisted, environmentally benign heterogeneous Asymmetric Michael addition to maleimides. language: eng
