- Nature-mimic fabricated polydopamine/MIL-53(Fe): Efficient visible-light responsive photocatalysts for the selective oxidation of alcohols
-
Polydopamine/MIL-53(Fe) (PDA/MIL-53(Fe)) nanocomposite photocatalysts were synthesized with PDA (PDA = polydopamine) and MIL-53(Fe) using a nature-mimicking method. The structures, morphologies, optical properties and thermal stabilities of all the synthesized materials were characterized using a series of methods. In particular, the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge significantly increased after the incorporation of PDA into MIL-53(Fe), which resulted in an elevated photocatalytic activity of PDA/MIL-53(Fe) compared with the control groups. The PDA/MIL-53(Fe) nanocomposite could accelerate the conversion of primary or secondary alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with a high specificity by direct hole-involving oxidation under visible-light irradiation and room temperature. The catalysts could be cycled at least three times without a significant decrease in the catalytic activity and this result showed the excellent recyclability and stability of the catalysts.

- Rhizopus arrhizus mediated SAR studies in chemoselective biotransformation of haloketones at ambient temperature
-
We have demonstrated a green chemistry approach using the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus for the reductive dehalogenation and synthesis of chiral secondary carbinols and halohydrins of pharmaceutical importance in mild, inexpensive, and environmental friendly process at ambient temperature. In the present study, we have succeeded in unravelling the relationship between the position of the substituent group in the structure of substrate and bioreduction activity of the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus. The asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group to corresponding chiral halohydrin takes place with good yield and excellent enantiomeric excess (≥92%) when the substituent halogen is on the aromatic nucleus. However, novel results concerning reductive dehalogenation are obtained when halogen is incorporated in the alkyl side chain. Thus, the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus has great potential to bring chemoenzymatic biotransformation of halo ketones. Various influential processing parameters such as microbe selection, temperature, pH, etc. were also investigated to optimize the growth of biocatalyst.

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.

- Zwitterion-induced organic-metal hybrid catalysis in aerobic oxidation
-
In many metal catalyses, the traditional strategy of removing chloride ions is to add silver salts via anion exchange to obtain highly active catalysts. Herein, we reported an alternative strategy of removing chloride anions from ruthenium trichloride using an organic [P+-N-] zwitterionic compound via multiple hydrogen bond interactions. The resultant organic-metal hybrid catalytic system has successfully been applied to the aerobic oxidation of alcohols, tetrahydroquinolines, and indolines under mild conditions. The performance of zwitterion is far superior to that of many other common Lewis bases or Br?nsted bases. Mechanistic studies revealed that the zwitterion triggers the dissociation of chloride from ruthenium trichloride via nonclassical hydrogen bond interaction. Preliminary studies show that the zwitterion is applicable to catalytic transfer semi-hydrogenation.

- Visible light mediated selective oxidation of alcohols and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles using scalable and reusable La-doped NiWO4nanoparticles
-
Visible light-mediated selective and efficient oxidation of various primary/secondary benzyl alcohols to aldehydes/ketones and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of partially saturated heterocycles using a scalable and reusable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst in aqueous medium are described. A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential oxidation of benzyl alcohols and heteroaryl carbinols followed by the Pictet-Spengler cyclization and then aromatization to obtain the β-carbolines in high isolated yields. This methodology was found to be suitable for scale up and reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the oxidation of structurally diverse aryl carbinols and ODH of partially saturated N-heterocycles using a recyclable and heterogeneous photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly 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.

- Robust Photocatalytic Method Using Ethylene-Bridged Flavinium Salts for the Aerobic Oxidation of Unactivated Benzylic Substrates

7,8-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1a) was found to be a superior photooxidation catalyst among substituted ethylene-bridged flavinium salts (R=7,8-diMeO, 7,8-OCH2O-, 7,8-diMe, H, 7,8-diCl, 7-CF3 and 8-CF3). Selection was carried out based on structure vs catalytic activity and properties relationship investigations. Flavinium salt 1a proved to be robust enough for practical applications in benzylic oxidations/oxygenations, which was demonstrated using a series of substrates with high oxidation potential, i. e., 1-phenylethanol, ethylbenzene, diphenylmethane and diphenylmethanol derivatives substituted with electron-withdrawing groups (Cl or CF3). The unique capabilities of 1a can be attributed to its high photostability and participation via a relatively long-lived singlet excited state, which was confirmed using spectroscopic studies, electrochemical measurements and TD-DFT calculations. This allows the maximum use of the oxidation power of 1a, which is given by its singlet excited state reduction potential of +2.4 V. 7,8-Dichloro-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1 h) can be used as an alternative photocatalyst for even more difficult substrates.

- Selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols catalyzed by Cu(OAc)2/TEMPO/Et2NH
-
Selective oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols to their corresponding aldehyde/ketone derivative without affecting saturated alcohols is still a challenging endeavor in organic synthesis. Various metal complexes, especially the copper complexes in the presence of TEMPO are being used very often for such transformations under aerobic conditions, but they are not selective to allylic and benzylic alcohols. The use of copper salt for oxidation of alcohols in the absence of a ligand are very scarcely studied except for the one catalyzed by CuCl/TEMPO where chloride inhibition and lack of selective oxidation have been noted upon use of CuCl2. Herein we report a Cu(OAc)2 catalyzed and TEMPO mediated selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols to aldehyde/ketone in the presence of Et2NH. The method avoids pre-synthesis of the catalyst as in the case of Cu(II)/(I) complexes/TEMPO catalyzed oxidation reactions, requires low catalyst loading, employs cheaper copper salt, and gives excellent selectivity for oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols.

- Decatungstate-mediated solar photooxidative cleavage of CC bonds using air as an oxidant in water
-
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.

- Mn(III) active site in hydrotalcite efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of alkylarenes with molecular oxygen
-
Developing efficient heterogeneous catalytic systems based on easily available materials and molecular oxygen for the selective oxidation of alkylarenes is highly desirable. In the present research, NiMn hydrotalcite (Ni2Mn-LDH) has been found as an efficient catalyst in the oxidation of alkylarenes using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant without any additive. Impressive catalytic performance, excellent stability and recyclability, broad applicable scope and practical potential for the catalytic system have been observed. Mn3+ species was proposed to be the efficient active site, and Ni2+ played an important role in stabilizing the Mn3+ species in the hydrotalcite structure. The kinetic study showed that the aerobic oxidation of diphenylmethane is a first-order reaction over Ni2Mn-LDH with the activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A0) being 85.7 kJ mol?1 and 1.8 × 109 min?1, respectively. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG≠) was determined to be -10.4 kJ mol-1 K-1 for the oxidation based on Eyring-Polanyi equation, indicating the reaction is exergonic. The mechanism study indicated that the reaction proceeded through both radical and carbocation intermediates. The two species were then trapped by molecular oxygen and H2O or hydroxyl species, respectively, to yield the corresponding products. The present research might provide information for constructing highly efficient and stable active site for the catalytic aerobic oxidation based on available and economic material.

In these reactions, [DCPP]n aggregates were formed in situ through physical π-πstacking of DCPP monomers in organic solvents. These aggregates exhibited excellent photo- and electrochemical properties, including a visible light response (430 nm), long excited-state lifetime (19.3 μs), high excited-state reduction potential (Ered([DCPP]n*/[DCPP]n·-) = +2.10 V vs SCE), and good reduction stability. The applications of [DCPP]n aggregates as a versatile visible-light photocatalyst were demonstrated in decarboxylative C-C cross-coupling, amidation, and esterification reactions.

Abstract: A practical and heterogeneously catalyzed Stille, homo-coupling, and Suzuki carbonylation reaction has been reported using Pd nanoparticles supported on amino-vinyl silica-functionalized magnetic carbon nanotube (CNT@Fe3O4@SiO2-Pd) for the efficient synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryl ketones from aryl iodides. A wide variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical diaryl ketones were obtained in high yields under CO gas-free conditions using Mo(CO)6 as an efficient carbonyl source. Considering the atom economy of Ph3SnCl, less than an equimolar amount can be applied in Stille transformation, which is of great importance due to the toxicity of organotin derivatives. Moreover, no phosphine ligand and external reducing agent were necessary in these coupling carbonylation reactions. This heterogeneous Pd catalyst offers high activity with very low palladium leaching. Finally, the catalyst can be reused and recycled for six steps without loss in activity, exhibiting good example of sustainable methodology. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Novelmeta-benzothiazole and benzimidazole functionalised POCOP-Ni(ii) pincer complexes as efficient catalysts in the production of diarylketones
-
The synthesis of four novel non-symmetric Ni(ii)-POCOP pincer complexesmeta-functionalized with either benzothiazole or benzimidazole at the central aryl ring is described. All complexes were fully characterised in solution by various analytical techniques and the molecular structures in the solid state of complexes1b,2aand2bwere unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the Ni(ii)-POCOP pincer complexes were efficiently used as catalysts in the synthesis of diarylketones by cross-coupling reactions of functionalized benzaldehydes and boronic acid derivatives under relatively mild conditions. An important aspect of this transformation is the dependence on the steric properties of the donor groups (OPR2) of the pincer ligands, the more active compounds having the phosphinitos bearing isopropyl groups (1aand2a) than those containingtert-butyl substituents (1band2b).

Compared with typical carbonylative reaction conditions, CO gas (at high pressures), specialised exogenous ligands and inert reaction conditions were avoided. Our developed reaction conditions are mild, do not require specialised CO high pressure equipment, and exhibit wide functional group tolerance, giving a library of biaryl ketones in good yields.

Via incorporation of PW12O403-, pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acids (pydc), and Fe(III) ions into one framework, a new polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework, [HFe4O2(H2O)4(pydc)3PW12O40]·10.5H2O (FeW-PYDC), was successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method. Interestingly, FeW-PYDC features a three-dimensional porous structure with {Fe4O2} interconnecting with PW12O403- units. FeW-PYDC displayed excellent performance in the selective oxidation of C-H bonds of alkylbenzenes with high conversion (95.7%) and selectivity (96.6%). As an effective heterogeneous catalyst, FeW-PYDC demonstrates good reusability and structural stability.

- Flavin Nitroalkane Oxidase Mimics Compatibility with NOx/TEMPO Catalysis: Aerobic Oxidization of Alcohols, Diols, and Ethers
-
Biomimetic flavin organocatalysts oxidize nitromethane to formaldehyde and NOx - providing a relatively nontoxic, noncaustic, and inexpensive source for catalytic NO2 for aerobic TEMPO oxidations of alcohols, diols, and ethers. Alcohols were oxidized to aldehydes or ketones, cyclic ethers to esters, and terminal diols to lactones. In situ trapping of NOx and formaldehyde suggest an oxidative Nef process reminiscent of flavoprotein nitroalkane oxidase reactivity, which is achieved by relatively stable 1,10-bridged flavins. The metal-free flavin/NOx/TEMPO catalytic cycles are uniquely compatible, especially compared to other Nef and NOx-generating processes, and reveal selectivity over flavin-catalyzed sulfoxide formation. Aliphatic ethers were oxidized by this method, as demonstrated by the conversion of (-)-ambroxide to (+)-sclareolide.

A selective, practical, and scalable aerobic oxidation of alcohols is described that uses catalytic amounts of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and HNO3, with molecular oxygen serving as the terminal oxidant. The method was successfully applied to the oxidation of a wide range of benzylic, propargylic, and allylic alcohols, including two natural products, namely, carveol and podophyllotoxin. The conditions are also applicable to the selective oxidative deprotection of p-methoxybenzyl ethers.

- A Bifunctional Iron Nanocomposite Catalyst for Efficient Oxidation of Alkenes to Ketones and 1,2-Diketones
-
We herein report the fabrication of a bifunctional iron nanocomposite catalyst, in which two catalytically active sites of Fe-Nx and Fe phosphate, as oxidation and Lewis acid sites, were simultaneously integrated into a hierarchical N,P-dual doped porous carbon. As a bifunctional catalyst, it exhibited high efficiency for direct oxidative cleavage of alkenes into ketones or their oxidation into 1,2-diketones with a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance using TBHP as the oxidant in water under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, it could be easily recovered for successive recycling without appreciable loss of activity. Mechanistic studies disclose that the direct oxidation of alkenes proceeds via the formation of an epoxide as intermediate followed by either acid-catalyzed Meinwald rearrangement to give ketones with one carbon shorter or nucleophilic ring-opening to generate 1,2-diketones in a cascade manner. This study not only opens up a fancy pathway in the rational design of Fe-N-C catalysts but also offers a simple and efficient method for accessing industrially important ketones and 1,2-diketones from alkenes in a cost-effective and environmentally benign fashion.

- Synthesis, structure, and characterization of picolyl- and benzyl-linked biphenyl palladium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes and their catalytic activity in acylative cross-coupling reactions
-
N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with picolyl (L1H2Br2, L3H2Br2) and benzyl (L2H2Br2, L4H2Br2) linked biphenyl backbone were synthesized and characterized. Their palladium(II) complexes [PdL1]Br2 (1), [PdL2Br2] (2), [PdL3]Br2 (3), and [PdL4Br2] (4) were synthesized by direct method using Pd(OAc)2. All complexes (1–4) were characterized by CHN analysis, electrospray ionization-MS, nuclear magnetic resonance, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Molecular structures confirm the distorted square planar geometry around the Pd(II) center. All of them showed good catalytic activity in acylative Suzuki cross coupling of phenyl boronic acid with benzoyl chloride to afford benzophenone in good yields.

- Carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling by immobilized Ni?Pd NPs supported on carbon nanotubes
-
In this study, a novel carbon nanotube (CNT) based nanocatalyst (Ni?Pd/CNT) was synthesized by modifying CNTs using Ni?Pd core-shell nanoparticles (NPs). Ni?Pd/CNT was used in catalytic carbonylative cross-coupling between 4-iodoanisole and phenylboronic acid. The Ni?Pd NPs possessed a magnetic nickel (Ni) core with a palladium (Pd) structural composite shell. Thus, the use of Ni had led to a reduced consumption of Pd without sacrificing the overall catalytic performance, simultaneously making it reusable as it could be conveniently recovered from the reaction mixture by using an external magnetic field. Immobilization of the Ni?Pd NPs on carbon nanotubes not only prevented their aggregation, but also significantly enhanced the accessibility of the catalytically active sites. The abovementioned approach based on carbon nanotubes and Ni?Pd NPs provided a useful platform for the fabrication of noble-metal-based nanocatalysts with easy accessibility and low cost, which may allow for an efficient green alternative for various catalytic reductions.

The efficacy of N-benzoyl-saccharin (NBSac) as reagent for selective benzoyl transfer-coupling in the Suzuki reaction in BMIM-IL/[PAIM][NTf2] as solvent/base, and in the Sonogashira reaction employing guanidinium-IL (GIL) as solvent, are demonstrated. Decarbonylative aryl transfer-coupling occurs in the Heck reaction employing GIL as solvent. The reactions are catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 or NiCl2(dppp), are performed under mild conditions in good yields, and have the potential for recycling/reuse of the IL solvent. Collectively, these methods provide facile access to diverse libraries of diarylketones, keto-ethynes and diaryl-ethenes.

- Kinetically Controlled, Highly Chemoselective Acylation of Functionalized Grignard Reagents with Amides by N?C Cleavage
-
The direct transition-metal-free acylation of amides with functionalized Grignard reagents by highly chemoselective N?C cleavage under kinetic control has been accomplished. The method offers rapid and convergent access to functionalized biaryl ketones through transient tetrahedral intermediates. The direct access to functionalized Grignard reagents by in situ halogen–magnesium exchange promoted by the versatile turbo-Grignard reagent (iPrMgCl?LiCl) permits excellent substrate scope with respect to both the amide and Grignard coupling partners. These reactions enable facile, operationally simple and chemoselective access to tetrahedral intermediates from amides under significantly milder conditions than chelation-controlled intermediates. This novel direct two-component coupling sets the stage for using amides as acylating reagents in an alternative paradigm to the metal-chelated approach, acyl metals and Weinreb amides.
