Abstract

Two types of synthetic hydrotalcite-like [Mg6Al2(OH)16 ][An−%D;2/n (HT) were prepared where A = Cl anions (Cl-HT), and NiC42− complex anions (NiCl-HT), in order to examine: (1) the reactivity of Cl anion (or ligand) towards alkyl halides and (2) their catalytic behavior in the Finkelstein reaction. For instance, 0.4 g of NiCl-HT (Cl: 1.41 mmol) suspended in 20 cm3 of toluene with 14.1 mmol of butyl bromide at 373 K yielded 42 % butyl chloride after 15 min of reaction. In comparison, NiCl4(Et4N)2 (precursor to prepare NiCl-HT) yielded at the same conditions only 2.4 % of butyl chloride. This indicates a great mobility of Cl in the interlayer region of HTs. The reaction rate is greatly accelerated using DMF instead of toluene and butanol totally suppressed it. This is consistent with a SN2 mechanism. The halide-exchange reaction between benzyl chloride and butyl bromide is catalyzed by both Cl-HT and NiCl-HT.
