RESUMO

In this work, the combined use of p-sulfonic acid-calix[n]arene and microwave energy to hydrolyze the 1,3-dioxolane ketal of isatin was evaluated with excellent results. This is the first time that p-sulfonic acid-calix[n]arene has been used as the catalyst in a ketal hydrolysis reaction and the deprotection of the ketone carbonyl of isatin is reported. The presence of 2.5 mol% of p-sulfonic acid-calix[4,6]arene at 160 ºC resulted in over 96% conversion of this ketal in 10 min, with the additional advantage of using water as a solvent. This catalytic system (aqueous phase containing p-sulfonic acid-calix[4]arene) was reused for five consecutive cycles, with a conversion above 96% maintained. This reusable system is not practicable using p-toluenesulfonic acid and p-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid as catalysts since both are extracted to the organic phase with the reaction product. The hydrolysis of 1,3-dioxolane ketal of isatins with different substituents (CH3, I, Br, Cl, F, NO2) in the aromatic ring was also evaluated. The protecting group of 5-methyl-isatin was removed with 73% conversion using 2.5 mol% of p-sulfonic acid-calix[4]arene at 160 ºC for 5 min. In contrast, the ketal of 5-nitro-isatin reached 80% conversion using the same conditions after 40 min.
