Abstract
This paper describes an alternative and simple procedure for the synthesis of Ibuprofen using Silica-Supported Preyssler Nanoparticles (H14[NaP5W30O110]/SiO2) (SPNPs), as an eco-friendly, inexpensive, and efficient catalyst. High yields, simplicity of operation, and easy work-up procedure are some advantages of this protocol. Silica-Supported Preyssler Nanoparticles (H14[NaP5W30O110]/SiO2) (SPNPs) offer the advantages of a higher hydrolytic and thermal stability. The salient features of Preyssler’s anion are availability, nontoxicity and reusability. We believe this methodology can find usefulness in organic synthesis.
Synthesis of Ibuprofen (6)
To a solution of ethyl-2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propanoate (1 g, 4.27 mmol) in 6 mL of CH3OH a solution of KOH was added (479 mg, 8.55 mmol) in 5 mL of H2O. The resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Methanol was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic extracts were washed with H2O, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound 6.
