- Substituent and Solvent Effects in the Reactions of Diaryldiazomethanes with 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone
-
Kinetic studies have been made of the reactions of fifteen meta- and para-substituted diphenyldiazomethanes(DDMs) with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) in benzene.The second order rate constants, k, increased with the electron-donability of the substituents, and the value could be correlated with the Yukawa-Tsuno equation: log k/k0 = -2.33(?0 + 0.47Δ+) + 0.017, (r = 0.996, 30 deg C).The ρ value, -2.33, indicates the development of a positive charge at the diazo carbon in the transition state, while the R value, 0.47, confirms the moderate stabilization of the positive charge by the ?-electronic contribution of the para substituents.The rate constants have also been determined for the reaction of diphenyldiazomethane(DDM) with DDQ in 28 aprotic solvents.The effects of solvents can be interpreted in terms of the basicity and the steric nature of the solvents.The products of these reactions were poly(2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanohydroquinone benzhydryl ether)s, which were easily convertible into benzophenones and α,α-dimethoxydiphenylmethane, together with 2,3-dichloro,5,6-dicyanohydroquinone, under the influence of water and methanol.These solvolysis products were also obtained in excellent yields in the initial presence of these additives.

- COMPARISON OF PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS OF AROMATIC CARBONYL VS. CYANO COMPOUNDS WITH ELECTRON DONORS IN CONDENSED PHASE: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SPIN STATE OF THE GEMINATE ION PAIR FOR OBTAINING HIGH ION YIELDS.
-
Photoinduced electron transfer reactions in acetonitrile with benzophenone, anthraquinone, 9-cyanoanthracene and 9,10-dicyanoanthracene as electron acceptors, and with 1,4-diazabicyclooctane and N,N-dimethylaniline as electron donors have been studied with ns-laser flash photolysis and fluorescence quenching measurements.For these systems the resulting free ion yield depends on the spin state of the geminate ion pair: its separation is very efficient if formed in a triplet state (carbonyl compounds/donors), while it is very inefficient if formed in a singlet state (cyanoantracenes/donors).In the triplet systems, geminate back electron transfer is limited by the rate of spin flip.

- Oxovanadium(v)-catalyzed deoxygenative homocoupling reaction of alcohols
-
Oxovanadium(v)-catalyzed transformation of alcohols in the presence of hydrazine derivatives was demonstrated. The direct hydrazination reaction of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ol with 1,1-diphenylhydrazine in the presence of VO(OSiPh3)3 as a catalyst and MS3A as a dehydrating reagent proceeded to afford the corresponding hydrazination product. On the contrary, the utilization of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine instead of 1,1-diphenylhydrazine was found to induce the deoxygenative homocoupling reaction of the allyl alcohol to give the corresponding 1,5-diene as a major product. In addition to the deoxygenative homocoupling product, the allyl amine into which aniline was introduced was also obtained by using 1,2-diphenylhydrazine in the reaction of 1,3-diphenyl-2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol. Oxovanadium(v)-catalyzed deoxygenative homocoupling reaction of benzyl alcohols could also be performed in the presence of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine.

- Co(ii)-cluster-based metal-organic frameworks as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for selective oxidation of arylalkanes
-
To explore metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on Co-clusters as heterogeneous catalysts to selectively catalyze the reaction of C-H bond oxidation of aromatic alkanes to their corresponding ketones, three MOFs {[Co5(pmbcd)2(μ3-OH)2(H2O)4(DMF)2]·4DMF}n (MOF 1), {[Co2(pmbcd)(bpea)2]·2H2O·2DMF}n (MOF 2), and {[Co2(pmbcd)(dpp)2]·3H2O·2DMF}n (MOF 3) (H4pmbcd = 9,9′-(1,4-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(9H-carbazole-3,6-dicarboxylic acid), bpea = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, dpp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane) were successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. MOF 1 was constructed from a pentanuclear Co(ii) cluster and exhibited a porous framework with channels of 8 × 10 ?2 along the b axis. MOF 2 was constructed from [Co2(CO2)4] units and presented a porous three-dimensional (3D) framework with channels of 11 × 13 ?2 along the b axis and of 10 × 12 ?2 along the c axis. MOF 3 was a flat two-dimensional (2D) layer based on binuclear Co(ii) units when dpp as an auxiliary ligand was introduced. The Co5-cluster-based MOF 1 exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the direct C-H bond activation of arylalkanes to ketones in H2O under room temperature because of its high density of Lewis acidic sites within the frameworks and suitable channel size to access the catalytic sites. It also presented the spatial confinement effect and catalyzed the reaction with high regioselectivity, forming mono-ketones as the sole products. Easy product separation, simple reaction procedures, and recyclability of these catalysts make the catalytic system attractive. Our work highlights the superiority of the MOF-based materials as heterogeneous catalysts.

- Thiol ester-boronic acid cross-coupling. Catalysis using alkylative activation of the palladium thiolate intermediate
-
(matrix presented) Thiol esters and boronic acids do not participate in cross-coupling in the presence of palladium catalysts. However, efficient palladium-catalyzed thiol ester-boronic acid cross-coupling is observed when simple alkylating agents are present. Alkylative conversion of the very stable palladium-thiolate bond to a labile palladium-thioether bond is presumed to be crucial to the catalysis. Of the systems studied, 4-halo-n-butyl thiol esters were most effective in this cross-coupling.

- Heteropolytungstic acids incorporated in an ordered mesoporous zirconia framework as efficient oxidation catalysts
-
Ordered mesoporous composite catalysts consisting of nanocrystalline tetragonal ZrO2 and heteropolytungstic clusters, i.e. 12-phosphotungstic (PTA) and 12-silicotungstic (STA) acids, were prepared via a surfactant-assisted co-polymerization route. According to the X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and N2 physisorption measurements, the resultant materials possess a well-defined mesoscopic order ranging from wormhole to hexagonal pore structure and exhibit large internal surface area (126-229 m2 g-1) and quite narrow pore size distribution (ca. 2.2-2.6 nm in diameter). Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis and infrared spectroscopy confirms that the heteropoly clusters are well dispersed within the zirconia matrix, while preserving intact their Keggin structure. The inclusion of PTA and STA clusters in the mesoporous framework has a beneficial effect on the catalytic activity of these materials. Although zirconium oxide and heteropoly acids alone show little catalytic activity, the ZrO 2-PTA and ZrO2-STA heterostructures exhibit surprisingly high activity in hydrogen peroxide mediated oxidation of 1,1-diphenyl-2- methylpropene under mild conditions. Indeed, the mesoporous ZrO2-STA composite sample loaded with 5 wt% STA shows a conversion rate that is 17 times higher than the mesoporous ZrO2. The catalytic activity of these materials is related to the spatial distribution of heteropoly acids in zirconia matrix and possible synergistic interactions between the incorporated Keggin units and Zr(iv) oxohydroxide species.

In this reaction, IPA works not as a single-electron donor as in the photo-redox catalyzed reactions but as an H-atom-donor. The reaction also proceeds under visible-light irradiation in the presence of thioglycolic acid as a ligand.

- A Tale of Copper Coordination Frameworks: Controlled Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformations and Their Catalytic C-H Bond Activation Properties
-
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a class of microporous materials with well-defined channels and rich functionalities, hold great promise for various applications. Yet the formation and crystallization processes of various MOFs with distinct topology, connectivity, and properties remain largely unclear, and the control of such processes is rather challenging. Starting from a 0D Cu coordination polyhedron, MOP-1, we successfully unfolded it to give a new 1D-MOF by a single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation process at room temperature as confirmed by SXRD. We also monitored the continuous transformation states by FTIR and PXRD. Cu MOFs with 2D and 3D networks were also obtained from this 1D-MOF by SCSC transformations. Furthermore, Cu MOFs with 0D, 1D, and 3D networks, MOP-1, 1D-MOF, and HKUST-1, show unique performances in the kinetics of the C-H bond catalytic oxidation reaction.

- Electron Transfer Catalyzed Reactions. Electrochemical Induction of the Hydrogen Atom Transfer Oxidation of Alcohols and Other Substrates by Aromatic Halides
-
The reduction of aryl halides in the presence of primary or secondary alcohols in liquid ammonia or in pure alcohol leads to the formation of the corresponding carbonyl compounds along an elctrocatalytic process consuming a vanishingly small amount of electricity.The aryl radical generated upon electrochemical reductive cleavage of the aryl halide first abstracts a H atom from the alcohol leading to an hydroxyalkyl radical which deprotonates into the ketyl anion radical, which is itself oxidized into the carbonyl compound.Side reactions are the reduction of the aryl radical and of the hydroxyalkyl radical.A detailed study of the feasibility and the mechanism of the reacton has been carried out by cyclic voltammetry and preparative scale electrolysis.The results underscore the fact that besides its acid-base properties, the H-atom donation ability of the solvent can play an important role in the course of electrochemical reactions.The electron stoichiometry, varying between 0 and 2, and the product distribution are functions of the redox and acid-base properties of the radical resulting from H-atom abstraction and of the redox and cleavage characteristic of the aryl halide anion radical.The reaction allows the oxidation of a large variety of substrates under electrochemically reducing conditions, those which lead to the formation of the aryl radical from the starting aryl halide.

We report here preparation of CuCr2O4 spinel nanoparticle catalyst, mediated by cationic surfactant CTAB in hydrothermal route. XRD revealed the formation of CuCr2O4 spinel phase and TEM showed the particle size of 30-60 nm. The catalyst was speculated to be highly active for selective oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone with H2O2. A cyclohexane conversion of 70% with 85% cyclohexanone selectivity was achieved over this catalyst at 50 °C temperature. Moreover, the catalyst did not show any significant activity loss even after 8 reuses and proved its efficacy in the oxidation of other cycloalkanes also.

- Fe3O4@dopa (dopa = dopamine hydrochloride) functionalized Mn(III) Schiff base complex: A promising magnetically separable heterogeneous catalyst for oxidative transformations
-
A chiral Schiff base complex has been prepared by treating (R)-1,2-diaminopropane with 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde in ethanol, followed by addition of manganese chloride hexahydrate to generate a homogeneous catalyst, [MnL(Cl)(H2O)] (HMN). Crystal structure of the complex reveals its mononuclear nature. Circular dichroism (CD) studies indicate that the ligand and its corresponding complex contain an asymmetric center. The catalytic activity of HMN toward epoxidation of alkenes, oxidation of alcohols and oxidation of alkanes has been investigated in the presence of iodosylbenzenediacetate (PhI(OAc)2), in acetonitrile. In the present work we found yields to be much higher compared to our previous approaches. For further adaptation, we attached our efficient homogeneous catalyst with surface modified magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@dopa) and thereby obtained a new magnetically separable nanocatalyst Fe3O4@dopa@MnLCl (FDM). This catalyst has been characterized and its oxidation ability assessed in similar conditions as those used for the homogeneous catalyst. Enantiomeric excess in epoxide yield reveals retention of chirality of the active site of Fe3O4@dopa@MnLCl. The catalyst can be recovered by magnetic separation and recycled several times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Bioinspired oxidation of oximes to nitric oxide with dioxygen by a nonheme iron(II) complex
-
The ability of two iron(II) complexes, [(TpPh2)FeII(benzilate)] (1) and [(TpPh2)(FeII)2(NPP)3] (2) (TpPh2 = hydrotris(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, NPP-H = α-isonitrosopropiophenone), of a monoanionic facial N3 ligand in the O2-dependent oxidation of oximes is reported. The mononuclear complex 1 reacts with dioxygen to decarboxylate the iron-coordinated benzilate. The oximate-bridged dinuclear complex (2), which contains a high-spin (TpPh2)FeII unit and a low-spin iron(II)–oximate unit, activates dioxygen at the high-spin iron(II) center. Both the complexes exhibit the oxidative transformation of oximes to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with the incorporation of one oxygen atom from dioxygen. In the oxidation process, the oxime units are converted to nitric oxide (NO) or nitroxyl (HNO). The iron(II)–benzilate complex (1) reacts with oximes to afford HNO, whereas the iron(II)–oximate complex (2) generates NO. The results described here suggest that the oxidative transformation of oximes to NO/HNO follows different pathways depending upon the nature of co-ligand/reductant.

Organo-radical catalysts have recently attracted great interest, and the development of this field can be expected to broaden the applications of organocatalysis. Herein, the first example of a radical-generating system is reported that does not require any photoirradiation, radical initiators, or preactivated substrates. The oxidative C?C-bond cleavage of 2-substituted cyclohexanones was achieved using an azolium salt and a hydroquinone as co-catalysts. A catalytic mechanism was proposed based on the results of diffusion-ordered spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements, as well as computational studies.

The beneficial catalysis by Rh in the carbonylation was presumed to stem from the facility by which the migration of the aryl ligand to CO at the Rh3+ intermediate occurred.

- Chloro-ruthenium complexes with carbonyl and N-(aryl)pyridine-2-aldimines as ancillary ligands. Synthesis, characterization and catalytic application in C-C cross-coupling of arylaldehydes with arylboronic acids
-
Reaction of N-(aryl)pyridine-2-aldimines (L-R, R = OCH3, CH 3, H, Cl and NO2) with [Ru(CO)2Cl 2]n in refluxing ethanol affords a group of complexes of type [Ru(L-R)(CO)2Cl2]. In these complexes the diimine ligands (L-R) are coordinated to the metal center as NN-donors forming five-membered chelate rings, the carbonyls are mutually cis and the two chlorides are trans. Crystal structure of [Ru(L-OCH3)(CO) 2Cl2] has been determined. All the complexes show characteristic 1H NMR signals, and in dichloromethane solution they display intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry on the complexes shows an irreversible oxidation of the metal center within 1.15-1.23 V vs SCE, and reduction(s) of the diimine ligand within -0.70 to -0.96 V vs SCE. The [Ru(L-R)(CO)2Cl2] complexes efficiently catalyze cross-coupling of arylaldehydes with arylboronic acids yielding diaryl ketones.

This protocol employed commercially available HCl as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent and air as a sustainable oxidant. In addition, this process exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope without the requirement for external metal and oxidants. The mechanistic hypothesis was supported by radical trapping, 18O labeling, and control experiments.

- Ruthenium-on-Carbon-Catalyzed Facile Solvent-Free Oxidation of Alcohols: Efficient Progress under Solid-Solid (Liquid)-Gas Conditions
-
A protocol for the ruthenium-on-carbon (Ru/C)-catalyzed solvent-free oxidation of alcohols, which proceeds efficiently under solid-solid (liquid)-gas conditions, was developed. Various primary and secondary alcohols were transformed to corresponding aldehydes and ketones in moderate to excellent isolated yields by simply stirring in the presence of 10% Ru/C under air or oxygen conditions. The solvent-free oxidation reactions proceeded efficiently regardless of the solid or liquid state of the substrates and reagents and could be applied to gram-scale synthesis without loss of the reaction efficiency. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Ru/C was maintained after five reuse cycles.

- Rapid, chemoselective and mild oxidation protocol for alcohols and ethers with recyclable N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide
-
Chlorine is the 20th most abundant element on the earth compared to bromine, iodine, and fluorine, a sulfonimide reagent, N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide (NCBSI) was identified as a mild and selective oxidant. Without activation, the reagent was proved to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols as well as their symmetrical and mixed ethers to corresponding aldehydes and ketones. With recoverable PS-TEMPO catalyst, selective oxidation over chlorination of primary and secondary alcohols and their ethers with electron-donating substituents was achieved. The reagent precursor of NCBSI was recovered quantitatively and can be reused for synthesizing NCBSI.

- A Fast and General Route to Ketones from Amides and Organolithium Compounds under Aerobic Conditions: Synthetic and Mechanistic Aspects
-
We report that the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic amides by organolithium reagents proceeds quickly (20 s reaction time), efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad substrate scope in the environmentally responsible cyclopentyl methyl ether, at ambient temperature and under air, to provide ketones in up to 93 % yield with an effective suppression of the notorious over-addition reaction. Detailed DFT calculations and NMR investigations support the experimental results. The described methodology was proven to be amenable to scale-up and recyclability protocols. Contrasting classical procedures carried out under inert atmospheres, this work lays the foundation for a profound paradigm shift of the reactivity of carboxylic acid amides with organolithiums, with ketones being straightforwardly obtained by simply combining the reagents under aerobic conditions and with no need of using previously modified or pre-activated amides, as recommended.

- Evaluation of Cyclic Amides as Activating Groups in N-C Bond Cross-Coupling: Discovery of N-Acyl-δ-valerolactams as Effective Twisted Amide Precursors for Cross-Coupling Reactions
-
The development of efficient methods for facilitating N-C(O) bond activation in amides is an important objective in organic synthesis that permits the manipulation of the traditionally unreactive amide bonds. Herein, we report a comparative evaluation of a series of cyclic amides as activating groups in amide N-C(O) bond cross-coupling. Evaluation of N-acyl-imides, N-acyl-lactams, and N-acyl-oxazolidinones bearing five- and six-membered rings using Pd(II)-NHC and Pd-phosphine systems reveals the relative reactivity order of N-activating groups in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The reactivity of activated phenolic esters and thioesters is evaluated for comparison in O-C(O) and S-C(O) cross-coupling under the same reaction conditions. Most notably, the study reveals N-acyl-δ-valerolactams as a highly effective class of mono-N-acyl-activated amide precursors in cross-coupling. The X-ray structure of the model N-acyl-δ-valerolactam is characterized by an additive Winkler-Dunitz distortion parameter ?(τ+χN) of 54.0°, placing this amide in a medium distortion range of twisted amides. Computational studies provide insight into the structural and energetic parameters of the amide bond, including amidic resonance, N/O-protonation aptitude, and the rotational barrier around the N-C(O) axis. This class of N-acyl-lactams will be a valuable addition to the growing portfolio of amide electrophiles for cross-coupling reactions by acyl-metal intermediates.

- Photo-tunable oxidation of toluene and its derivatives catalyzed by TBATB
-
In this report, tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) was introduced as an efficient visible light active catalyst to carry out the aerobic oxidation of toluene, its derivatives, and some of methyl arenes to benzaldehydes, benzoic acids and ketones in good to high yields. All the oxidation reactions were performed under mild conditions using oxygen as a green oxidant, a catalytic amount of TBATB under blue (460 nm), royal blue (430 nm), and violet LED (400 nm) irradiation. It was found that the reactions selectivity was significantly affected by changing the solvent (from CH3CN to EtOAc) and LED wavelength (from blue to violet). In the following, our mechanistic studies revealed that the visible light oxidation of toluenes and methyl arenes over TBATB could be following a benzyl peroxy radical intermediate.

- Ferric ion concentration-controlled aerobic photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond with high selectivity and conversion
-
A Fe(III)-promoted highly selective photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond delivering relative carbonyl products is reported. By altering the concentration of ferric salt, methylarenes can be selectively oxidized under UV irradiation to furnish aromatic aldehydes or acids, respectively. By this protocol, the oxidation of ethylarenes provides the corresponding acetophenones. The reaction is inferred to involve divergent pathways in different concentrations of catalyst for the alternative selectivity between aldehydes and aicds. The reusable catalyst, high conversion and selectivity make this oxidation a green and economic protocol for the synthesis of aromatic carbonyl compounds.

- Efficient Aliphatic C-H Oxidation and C═C Epoxidation Catalyzed by Porous Organic Polymer-Supported Single-Site Manganese Catalysts
-
Bioinspired manganese complexes have emerged over recent decades as attractive catalysts for a number of selective oxidation reactions. However, these catalysts still suffer from oxidative degradation. In the present study, we prepared a series of porous Mn-N4 catalysts in which the catalytic units are embedded in the skeleton of porous organic polymers (POPs). These POP-based manganese catalysts demonstrated high reactivity in the oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds and the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. Furthermore, these catalysts could be readily recycled and reused due to their heterogeneous nature. Morphological characterization revealed that the Mn-N4 complex was individually distributed over a porous polymer network. Remarkably, the nature of the single-site catalyst prevented oxidative degradation during the reaction. The present work has thus developed a successful approach for bioinspired single-site manganese catalysts in which the oxidation reaction is confined to a specific channel in an enzyme-like mode.

- Visible-light photocatalytic selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds by anion-cation dual-metal-site nanoscale localized carbon nitride
-
Selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups by abstracting H with a photoinduced highly active oxygen radical is an effective method used to give high value products. Here, we report a heterogeneous photocatalytic alkanes C-H bonds oxidation method under the irradiation of visible light (λ= 425 nm) at ambient temperature using an anion-cation dual-metal-site modulated carbon nitride. The optimized cation (C) of Fe3+or Ni2+, with an anion (A) of phosphotungstate (PW123?) constitutes the nanoscale dual-metal-site (DMS). With a Fe-PW12dual-metal-site as a model (FePW), we demonstrate a A-C DMS nanoscale localized carbon nitride (A-C/g-C3N4) exhibiting a highly enhanced photocatalytic activity with a high product yield (86% conversion), selectivity (up to 99%), and a wide functional group tolerance (52 examples). The carbon nitride performs the roles of both the visible light response, and improves the selectivity for the oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups, along with the function of A-C DMS in promoting product yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction follows a radical pathway catalyzed by a photogenerated electron and hole on A-C/g-C3N4that is mediated by thetBuO˙ andtBuOO˙ radicals. Notably, a 10 g scale reaction was successfully achieved for alkane photocatalytic oxidation to the corresponding product with a good yield (80% conversion), and high selectivity (95%) under natural sunlight at ambient temperature. In addition, this A-C/g-C3N4photocatalyst is highly robust and can be reused at least six times and the activity is maintained.

- Selective Oxidation of Benzylic sp3C-H Bonds using Molecular Oxygen in a Continuous-Flow Microreactor
-
Selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic sp3 C-H bonds to generate the corresponding ketones was achieved under continuous-flow conditions. The catalysts N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) as the precursor of the radical under aerobic conditions motivated this process. Flow microreactors operating under optimized conditions enabled this oxidation with higher efficiency and a shortened reaction time of 54 s (total time was 10 min), which was improved 466 times compared with the batch parallel reaction (7.0 h). Notably, the catalyst and solvent recycling (92.6 and 94.5%) and scale-up experiments (0.87 g h-1 in 28 h) demonstrated the practicability of the protocol. The high product selectivity and functional group tolerance of the process allowed the production of ketones in yields of 41.2 to 90.3%. To reveal the versatility and applicability of this protocol, the late-stage modification of an antiepileptic drug to obtain oxcarbazepine was further conducted.

With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

A novel Se-doped silica material was fabricated, and this easily prepared material could be used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for β-ionone oxidation. Interestingly, by doping with fluorine in the catalyst, the reaction selectivity was significantly enhanced to produce the important pharmaceutical intermediate β-ionone epoxide selectively. Characterization of the materials indicated that by doping with F, the electropositivity of the catalytic Se species was obviously enhanced due to the strong electron-withdrawing features of F, and this was a key factor for controlling the reaction selectivity in the β-ionone epoxidation reaction. The electropositivity of a silica support might also increase and the reinforced electropositivity of Si sites might be beneficial for the adsorption of a β-ionone substrate and for the contact of the electron-enriched endocyclic C-C with the catalyst.

This is the first report on a facile tandem route for synthesizing quinazolinones at room temperature from various aminobenzamides andin situ-generated aldehydes. The latter was formedviaC=C bond cleavage, and the overall reaction proceeded using molecular oxygen as a clean oxidant in the absence of a photocatalyst. Visible light, which was indispensable for the entire course of the reaction, played multiple roles. It initially cleaved styrene to an aldehyde, then facilitated its cyclization with ano-substituted aniline, and finally promoted the dehydrogenation of the cyclized intermediate. The previous step provided the feedstock for the next step in the reaction, thereby preventing volatilization, oxidation, and polymerization of the aldehyde. Thus, the overall process is simple, environmentally benign, and economically feasible.

- Thiol-initiated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins and its extension to direct production of acetals from olefins
-
The oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones is an important reaction in organic syntheses. In this manuscript, a mild and operationally simple protocol for the aerobic oxidation of olefins to produce carbonyl compounds was realized over ZnIn2S4under visible light, using air as the oxidant and a thiol as the initiator. It was proposed that the photogenerated holes over ZnIn2S4attack the thiol to produce thiyl radicals, which initiate the oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones. By further coupling with the condensation between the as-obtained aldehydes/ketones and alcohols, this strategy can also be applied to the production of different acetals directly from the olefins. This study demonstrates a new pathway to realize the oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones, and also provides a new protocol for the production of acetals directly from the olefins.

- A highly stable metal-organic framework with cubane-like clusters for the selective oxidation of aryl alkenes to aldehydes or ketones
-
Triazine derivatives, a class of electron-deficient π-conjugated molecules with high photochemical activity and excellent luminescent characteristics, have been utilized as a kind of electron-acceptor for the construction of molecular cages, luminescent and photochromic materials. In this paper, a novel and highly stable MOF with cubane-like clusters, [Co4(SO4)3(F)3(tpt)2(tatb)] (1) (tpt = 2,4,6-tris-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, H3tatb = 4,4′,4′′-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tribenzoic acid), has been successfully synthesized based on a triazine derivative, and possesses unprecedented sulfate- and fluoride-bridged cubane-type tetranuclear cobalt clusters and a 3D + 3D → 3D open framework. Compound1shows a rather high BET surface area and exhibits excellent thermal stability and high chemical stability in common solvents and even in acidic or basic solutions (in a pH range from 4 to 12). Moreover, catalytic measurements show that compound1is an excellent heterogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of aryl alkenes to aldehydes or ketones with conversions of 97%.

- Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes Using Water-Soluble CdSe Quantum Dots
-
The oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds is an important chemical reaction, which is a popular reaction in the photocatalytic field. However, high catalyst-loading and low turnover number (TON) are general shortcomings in reported visible-light-driven reactions. Herein, the direct oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds through water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is described under visible-light irradiation at room temperature with high TON (up to 3.7×104). Under the same conditions, water-soluble CdSe QDs could also oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides with 51–84 % yields and TONs up to 3.4×104. The key features of this photocatalytic protocol include high TONs, wide substrates scope, low catalyst loadings, simple and mild reaction conditions, and molecular O2 as the oxidant.

- Organotellurium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reactions using visible-light as the precise driving energy
-
Irradiated by visible light, the recyclable (PhTe)2-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction could occur under mild conditions. In comparison with the thermo reaction, the method employed reduced catalyst loading (1 mol% vs. 2.5 mol%), but afforded elevated product yields with expanded substrate scope. This work demonstrated that for the organotellurium-catalyzed reactions, visible light might be an even more precise driving energy than heating because it could break the Te–Te bond accurately to generate the active free radical catalytic intermediates without damaging the fragile substituents (e.g., heterocycles) of substrates. The use of O2 instead of explosive H2O2 as oxidant affords safer reaction conditions from the large-scale application viewpoint.

- PhSe(O)OH/NHPI-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction using air as oxidant
-
A novel oxidative deoximation method was developed in this article. Compared with the reported organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction, this reaction employed N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as the co-catalyst, so that the oxidative deoximation reaction could utilize air as oxidant in the green DMC solvent under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis results indicated that NHPI was essential for activating the catalytic organoselenium species. It could accelerate the activation of molecular oxygen in air to promote the reaction process. The reaction can avoid metal residues in product and is of potential application values in pharmaceutical industry due to the transition metal-free process.

- Intercepting a transient non-hemic pyridine: N -oxide Fe(iii) species involved in OAT reactions
-
In the context of bioinspired OAT catalysis, we developed a tetradentate dipyrrinpyridine ligand, a hybrid of hemic and non-hemic models. The catalytic activity of the iron(iii) derivative was investigated in the presence of iodosylbenzene. Unexpectedly, MS, EPR, M?ssbauer, UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopic signatures supported by DFT calculations provide convincing evidence for the involvement of a relevant FeIII-O-NPy active intermediate.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Alkyl Aldehydes: Synthesis of Ketones, Esters, Amides, and α-Ketoamides
-
A widely applicable approach was developed to synthesize ketones, esters, amides via the oxidative C?C bond cleavage of readily available alkyl aldehydes. Green and abundant molecular oxygen (O2) was used as the oxidant, and base metals (cobalt and copper) were used as the catalysts. This strategy can be extended to the one-pot synthesis of ketones from primary alcohols and α-ketoamides from aldehydes.

- Radical induced disproportionation of alcohols assisted by iodide under acidic conditions
-
The disproportionation of alcohols without an additional reductant and oxidant to simultaneously form alkanes and aldehydes/ketones represents an atom-economical transformation. However, only limited methodologies have been reported, and they suffer from a narrow substrate scope or harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we report that alcohol disproportionation can proceed with high efficiency catalyzed by iodide under acidic conditions. This method exhibits high functional group tolerance including aryl alcohol derivatives with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, furan ring alcohol derivatives, allyl alcohol derivatives, and dihydric alcohols. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a 49% yield of 5-methyl furfural and a 49% yield of 2,5-diformylfuran were obtained simultaneously from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. An initial mechanistic study suggested that the hydrogen transfer during this redox disproportionation occurred through the inter-transformation of HI and I2. Radical intermediates were involved during this reaction.

- Readily Reconfigurable Continuous-Stirred Tank Photochemical Reactor Platform
-
A new modular photochemical continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) design is described, based upon the development of light-source units that can be fitted to the previously described fReactor CSTR platform. In addition to use in homogeneous photochemical reactions (e.g., photoredox-catalyzed hydroamination), these units are especially well suited to handling multiphasic mixtures, exemplified here in solid-liquid (Wohl-Ziegler bromination) and gas-liquid (photocatalytic oxidative decarboxylation) reactions. The use of slurries as input feeds allows for the intensification of photochemical brominations, while the modular nature of the system facilitates the simple integration of downstream reaction steps, exemplified here in a continuous synthesis of an intermediate for the antihypertensive drug valsartan.

- Improved, gram-scale synthesis of sildenafil in water using arylacetic acid as the acyl source in the pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one ring formation
-
An improved, gram-scale synthesis of the blockbuster drug sildenafil, used for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, has been developed. Unlike the previous literature, the current method demonstrates the use of arylacetic acid as an acyl source, a cheap oxidant K2S2O8, and water as the reaction medium in the key step of pyrrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one ring formation. As well as being a green and benign approach, the current method reduces the cost by half compared to our previous strategy. In addition, the general relevance of the method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of a variety of quinazolinone and benzothiazole derivatives with excellent functional group tolerance.

- Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of aliphatic secondary alcohols by benzimidazolium fluorochromate in dimethyl sulphoxide solvent
-
Oxidation of secondary alcohols is an important part of synthetic organic chemistry. Various studies are carried out at different reaction conditions to determine the best mechanistic pathways. In our study, oxidation of different secondary alcohols was done by using Benzimidazolium Fluorochromate in dimethyl sulphoxide, which is a non-aqueous solvent. Oxidation resulted in the formation of ketonic compounds. The reaction showed first order kinetics both in BIFC and in the alcohols. Hydrogen ions were used to catalyze the reaction. We selected four different temperatures to carry out our study. The correlation within the activation parameters like enthalpies and entropies was in accordance with the Exner's criterion. The deuterated benzhydrol (PhCDOHPh) oxidation exhibited an important primary kinetic isotopic effect (kH/kD = 5.76) at 298 K. The solvent effect was studied using the multiparametric equations of Taft and Swain. There was no effect of addition of acrylonitrile on the oxidation rate. The mechanism involved sigmatropic rearrangement with the transfer of hydrogen ion taking place from alcohol to the oxidant via a cyclic chromate ester formation.
