- Synthesis, structure and catalytic activity of dicarbene dipalladium complexes with different alkane bridge
-
A series of di-NHC dipalladium complexes Pd2LPy 2Cl4 (L = LC3, LC5, LC6 and LC10) with alkyl bridges of different chain lengths were prepared. The molecular structures of Pd2LC3Py 2Cl4 (1) and Pd2LC6Py 2Cl4 (3) were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The influence of the different bridges on the structure and reactivity of the complexes was studied. The structure of complex 3 consists of two pseudo-square-planar subunits in a trans configuration, however complex 1 shows an X configuration due to π-π stacking of both imidazole rings and pyridine rings. The catalytic activity of the new binuclear palladium complexes was successfully tested in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of styrene with aryl bromides. The length of the bridged ligands had some effect on the yield and regioselectivity of the products.

- Heterobimetallic Pd/Mn and Pd/Co complexes as efficient and stereoselective catalysts for sequential Cu-free Sonogashira coupling–alkyne semi-hydrogenation reactions
-
A series of heterobimetallic PdII/MII complexes (MII = Mn, Co) were synthesised and tested as precatalysts for sequential Sonogashira coupling–alkyne semi-hydrogenation reactions to form Z-aryl alkenes. The carbometalated heterobimetallic PdII/CoII complex CoPdL3′ demonstrated an apparent cooperative effect compared to the corresponding monometallic counterparts. This compound was identified as a potent single-molecule catalyst for the one-pot Cu-free Sonogashira coupling of aryl bromides with terminal alkynes followed by chemo- and stereoselective semi-hydrogenation of the alkyne intermediate using NH3·BH3 as a hydrogen source. Furthermore, different aromatic substrates have been tested to show the generality of the reaction for the synthesis of Z-alkenes, including biologically active combretastatin A-4. In addition, the homogeneous nature of the catalytically active species was demonstrated.

- Energy-Transfer-Mediated Photocatalysis by a Bioinspired Organic Perylenephotosensitizer HiBRCP
-
Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

- Ligand-free (: Z)-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes catalyzed by in situ generated oxidizable copper nanoparticles
-
Herein, we present (Z)-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes based on in situ generated CuNPs in the presence of hydrogen donors, such as ammonia-borane and a green protic solvent. This environmentally friendly method is characterized by operational simplicity combined with high stereo- and chemoselectivity and functional group compatibility. Auto-oxidation of CuNPs after the completion of a semihydrogenation reaction results in the formation of a water-soluble ammonia complex, so that the catalyst may be reused several times by simple phase-separation with no need for any special regeneration processes. Formed NH4B(OR)4 can be easily transformed back into ammonia-borane or into boric acid. In addition, a one-pot tandem sequence involving a Suzuki reaction followed by semihydrogenation was presented, which allows minimization of chemical waste production.

- PVC-NHC-Pd(0): An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for highly cis-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes using formic acid as hydrogen source
-
PVC-NHC-Pd(0) catalyst was prepared and exerted to highly cis-selective semihydrogenation of diarylacetylene using formic acid as hydrogen source under mild condition. The as-prepared catalyst was well characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, XPS, and TGA. The catalyst can be easily recovered and recycled without loss of its activity and selectivity owing to the metal-ligand interaction between Pd(0) with polymeric NHC ligands. This protocol is an attractive alternative of the classical Lindlar's hydrogenation.

- Dinuclear cobalt complex-catalyzed stereodivergent semireduction of alkynes: Switchable selectivities controlled by H2O
-
Catalytic semireduction of internal alkynes to alkenes is very important for organic synthesis. Although great success has been achieved in this area, switchable Z/E stereoselectivity based on a single catalyst for the semireduction of internal alkynes is a longstanding challenge due to the multichemo- and stereoselectivity, especially based on less-expensive earth-abundant metals. Herein, we describe a switchable semireduction of alkynes to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes catalyzed by a dinuclear cobalt complex supported by a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine (PDI) ligand. It was found that cis-reduction of the alkyne occurs first and the Z-E alkene stereoisomerization process is formally controlled by the amount of H2O, since the concentration of H2O may influence the catalytic activity of the catalyst for isomerization. Therefore, this protocol provides a facile way to switch to either the (Z)- or (E)-olefin isomer in a single transformation by adjusting the amount of water.

- An Amine-Assisted Ionic Monohydride Mechanism Enables Selective Alkyne cis-Semihydrogenation with Ethanol: From Elementary Steps to Catalysis
-
The selective synthesis of Z-alkenes in alkyne semihydrogenation relies on the reactivity difference of the catalysts toward the starting materials and the products. Here we report Z-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes with ethanol via a coordination-induced ionic monohydride mechanism. The EtOH-coordination-driven Cl- dissociation in a pincer Ir(III) hydridochloride complex (NCP)IrHCl (1) forms a cationic monohydride, [(NCP)IrH(EtOH)]+Cl-, that reacts selectively with alkynes over the corresponding Z-alkenes, thereby overcoming competing thermodynamically dominant alkene Z-E isomerization and overreduction. The challenge for establishing a catalytic cycle, however, lies in the alcoholysis step; the reaction of the alkyne insertion product (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) with EtOH does occur, but very slowly. Surprisingly, the alcoholysis does not proceed via direct protonolysis of the Ir-C(vinyl) bond. Instead, mechanistic data are consistent with an anion-involved alcoholysis pathway involving ionization of (NCP)IrCl(vinyl) via EtOH-for-Cl substitution and reversible protonation of Cl- ion with an Ir(III)-bound EtOH, followed by β-H elimination of the ethoxy ligand and C(vinyl)-H reductive elimination. The use of an amine is key to the monohydride mechanism by promoting the alcoholysis. The 1-amine-EtOH catalytic system exhibits an unprecedented level of substrate scope, generality, and compatibility, as demonstrated by Z-selective reduction of all alkyne classes, including challenging enynes and complex polyfunctionalized molecules. Comparison with a cationic monohydride complex bearing a noncoordinating BArF- ion elucidates the beneficial role of the Cl- ion in controlling the stereoselectivity, and comparison between 1-amine-EtOH and 1-NaOtBu-EtOH underscores the fact that this base variable, albeit in catalytic amounts, leads to different mechanisms and consequently different stereoselectivity.

- Palladium nanoparticlesin situsynthesized onCyclea barbatapectin as a heterogeneous catalyst for Heck coupling in water, the reduction of nitrophenols and alkynes
-
This study develops an effective method for thein situsynthesis of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) usingCyclea barbatapectin as a green reducing and stabilizing reagent. The PdNP@pectin nanocomposite was well characterized by analysis techniques such as UV-vis, FTIR, EDX, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM and STEM-mapping. Crystalline PdNPs were found to be distributed in the size range of 1-25 nm with the highest frequency of 6-12 nm. PdNP@pectin exhibited excellent recyclable catalysis activity for the Heck coupling reaction in water medium. The kinetics and recyclability of nanoparticles were investigated for the catalytic reduction ofo-,m- andp-nitrophenol. The result showed a good catalysis efficiency with five successful recycles without compromising much. In particular, the nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for the conversion of alkynes intocis-alkenes with KOH/DMF as a hydrogenation source. The reaction was also utilized effectively for the synthesis of sex pheromones, includingPlutella xylostella((Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate) andCylas formicarius((Z)-3-dodecen-1-yl(E)-2-butenoate) with the total yields of 70% and 68%, respectively. Therefore, PdNPs supported onC. barbatapectin are promising catalysis materials for application in various fields.

- Catalytic activity of Pd dithiolate complexes with large-bite-angle diphosphines in Heck coupling reactions
-
Palladium(II) complexes of aryl dithiolates and wide-bite-angle diphosphines Xantphos and dppf have been developed as efficient catalysts in Suzuki and Suzuki carbonylation reactions. The catalytic activity of these highly stable, discrete and charged complexes was investigated in Heck coupling reactions of styrene and a variety of aryl bromides. Under optimized reaction conditions these palladium complexes showed excellent activity with high turnover number (6 × 106) and high turnover frequency (4 × 105 h?1). The effect of bite angle of diphosphines on the catalytic activity of the complexes [Pd2(P∩P)2(SC12H8S)]2(OTf)4 followed the trend P∩P = Xantphos > dppf > dppe as the order of their bite angles. The catalyst could be reused, and after three cycles the formation of significant amount of Pd nanoparticles was noticed, which were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The high catalytic activity has been attributed to the Pd nanoparticles.

- Electro-Olefination—A Catalyst Free Stereoconvergent Strategy for the Functionalization of Alkenes
-
Conventional methods carrying out C(sp2)?C(sp2) bond formations are typically mediated by transition-metal-based catalysts. Herein, we conceptualize a complementary avenue to access such bonds by exploiting the potential of electrochemistry in combination with organoboron chemistry. We demonstrate a transition metal catalyst-free electrocoupling between (hetero)aryls and alkenes through readily available alkenyl-tri(hetero)aryl borate salts (ATBs) in a stereoconvergent fashion. This unprecedented transformation was investigated theoretically and experimentally and led to a library of functionalized alkenes. The concept was then carried further and applied to the synthesis of the natural product pinosylvin and the derivatization of the steroidal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) scaffold.

The first isolated examples of intermolecular oxidative addition of alkenyl and alkynyl iodides to AuI are reported. Using a 5,5′-difluoro-2,2′-bipyridyl ligated complex, oxidative addition of geometrically defined alkenyl iodides occurs readily, reversibly and stereospecifically to give alkenyl-AuIII complexes. Conversely, reversible alkynyl iodide oxidative addition generates bimetallic complexes containing both AuIII and AuI centers. Stoichiometric studies show that both new initiation modes can form the basis for the development of C?C bond forming cross-couplings.

- cis-Selective Transfer Semihydrogenation of Alkynes by Merging Visible-Light Catalysis with Cobalt Catalysis
-
Herein, the first example of visible-light-driven, cobalt-catalyzed transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is reported. It is carried out by using Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)]PF6 as photosensitizer, CoBr2/n-Bu3P as proton-reducing catalyst, and i-Pr2NEt/AcOH as the hydrogen source. Under the established catalytic system, the semihydrogenation proceeds with Z as the major selectivity and with inhibition of over-reduction. Under mild reaction conditions, both internal and terminal alkynes, as well as reducible functional groups such as halogen, cyano, and ester, are tolerated. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the dual role of the photosensitizer in initiating the reaction via a single-electron transfer process and controlling the stereoselectivity via an energy transfer process.

A concise protocol foranti-hydromagnesiation of aryl alkynes was established using 1?:?1 molar combination of sodium hydride (NaH) and magnesium iodide (MgI2) without the aid of any transition metal catalysts. The resulting alkenylmagnesium intermediates could be trapped with a series of electrophiles, thus providing facile accesses to stereochemically well-defined functionalized alkenes. Mechanistic studies by experimental and theoretical approaches imply that polar hydride addition from magnesium hydride (MgH2) is responsible for the process.

- Fabrication of Ni3N nanorods anchored on N-doped carbon for selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes
-
Nickel is a highly active catalyst for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes. However, the low selectivity of the alkene product caused by the over-hydrogenation reaction on Ni has hindered its practical applications. In this work, we report a new nickel nitride (Ni3N)-catalyzed semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to the corresponding alkenes. The Ni3N nanorods were facilely fabricated via a direct pyrolysis of the solid mixture of nickel acetate tetrahydrate and melamine (Mlm). The Ni3N phase in the optimum catalyst (Ni3N/NC-6/5-550) is shown to be effective and stable in the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes, with a high yield and good selectivity for alkenes (Z/E ratios up to >99/1). Both terminal and internal alkynes bearing a broad scope of functional groups are readily converted into alkenes with good chemo- and stereoselectivity. Notably, it was found that the over-hydrogenation can be markedly suppressed even at high conversion of alkyne. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the low interaction between the alkene product and the Ni3N might plays a critical role in the selectivity enhancement.

- Synthesis of Stilbenes by Rhodium-Catalyzed Aerobic Alkenylation of Arenes via C-H Activation
-
Arene alkenylation is commonly achieved by late transition metal-mediated C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross-coupling, but this strategy typically requires prefunctionalized substrates (e.g., with halides or pseudohalides) and/or the presence of a directing group on the arene. Transition metal-mediated arene C-H activation and alkenylation offers an alternative method to functionalize arene substrates. Herein, we report a rhodium-catalyzed oxidative arene alkenylation from arenes and styrenes to prepare stilbene and stilbene derivatives. The reaction is successful with several functional groups on both the arene and the olefin including fluoride, chloride, trifluoromethyl, ester, nitro, acetate, cyanide, and ether groups. Reactions of monosubstituted arenes are selective for alkenylation at the meta and para positions, generally with approximately 2:1 selectivity, respectively. Resveratrol and (E)-1,2,3-trimethoxy-5-(4-methoxystyryl)benzene (DMU-212) are synthesized by this single-step approach in high yield. Comparison with palladium catalysis showed that rhodium catalysis is more selective for meta-functionalization for monosubstituted arenes and that the Rh catalysis has better tolerance of halogen groups.

The hydroarylation of terminal alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate was performed in high yield within 3 h at room temperature in water, using palladium(II) complexes with imidazole ligands as catalysts. Under these conditions, differently substituted phenylacetylene substrates were converted to arylalkenes and aryl-substituted dienes. High conversion and excellent selectivity were achieved in the hydroarylation of alkynols with sodium tetraphenylborate. Only one product, arylalkene with an OH group, was formed in these reactions with the yield dependent on the kind of alkynol used. A plausible hydroarylation reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of the palladium species identified in the reaction mixture and H/D exchange studies. The contribution of water as the hydride source was evidenced.

A family of air- A nd moisture-stable dinuclear palladium complexes bearing 2-benzimidazolyl ligands is reported and shown to be a highly effective and general catalytic platform in diverse cross-coupling reactions. The rigidity and conformation of the ligand scaffold was readily modified via tethering of the 2-benzimidazolyl moiety to diamine ligands, resulting in significant changes in catalytic activity. Under optimal conditions, Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira-type couplings of aryl bromides can all be performed efficiently with good functional group compatibility using only 0.1 mola?% of catalyst, in aqueous or alcohol solvents. Experimental evidence highlights the importance of the bifunctional character of the ligand for catalytic activity, where the basic N-functionality in the ligand framework is proposed to accelerate (trans)metalation steps via intramolecular assistance.

The stereoselective hydrogenation of alkynes constitutes one of the key approaches for the construction of stereodefined alkenes. The majority of conventional methods utilize noble and toxic metal catalysts. This study concerns a simple catalyst comprised of the commercial chemicals iron(II) acetylacetonate and diisobutylaluminum hydride, which enables the Z-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes under near ambient conditions (1–3 bar H2, 30 °C, 5 mol % [Fe]). Neither an elaborate catalyst preparation nor addition of ligands is required. Mechanistic studies (kinetic poisoning, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, TEM) strongly indicate the operation of small iron clusters and particle catalysts.

Interestingly, fructose acts as structure controlling compound to generate specific graphitic layers and the formation of monodisperse NP.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Stereodivergent Synthesis of E- and Z-Alkenes by Hydrogenation of Alkynes
-
A convenient protocol for stereodivergent hydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes by using nickel catalysts was developed. Simple Ni(NO3)2?6 H2O as a catalyst precursor formed active nanoparticles, which were effective for the semihydrogenation of several alkynes with high selectivity for the Z-alkene (Z/E>99:1). Upon addition of specific multidentate ligands (triphos, tetraphos), the resulting molecular catalysts were highly selective for the E-alkene products (E/Z>99:1). Mechanistic studies revealed that the Z-alkene-selective catalyst was heterogeneous whereas the E-alkene-selective catalyst was homogeneous. In the latter case, the alkyne was first hydrogenated to a Z-alkene, which was subsequently isomerized to the E-alkene. This proposal was supported by density functional theory calculations. This synthetic methodology was shown to be generally applicable in >40 examples and scalable to multigram-scale experiments.

Both processes proceed with high regioselectivity and show enhancements with six- and seven-membered ring carbenes.

- Semireduction of Alkynes Using Formic Acid with Reusable Pd-Catalysts
-
The treatment of PdCl2 with K2CO3 and HCO2H in dioxane gives black precipitates, which are an effective catalyst for the semireduction of alkynes to alkenes using formic acid as a reductant. Even 0.05 mol % Pd promoted the reduction reaction of tolane in high yield with high selectivity.

- Stereodivergent Alkyne Reduction by using Water as the Hydrogen Source
-
A homogeneous Pd-catalyzed stereodivergent reduction of alkynes to Z and E alkenes by using H2O as the H2 source is presented. Mediated by a diboron reagent, the transfer hydrogenation has been accomplished to yield the desired geometrical isomer by rational ligand selection. The switchable stereoselectivity achieved using simple phosphine ligands is generally excellent. D2O has also been used as a D2 source for synthesizing the corresponding deuterated olefins. Supported by a gram-scale synthesis, the reaction can easily be scaled up making it an efficient way to prepare alkenes commercially as well. Mechanistic studies suggest formation of H?PdL2?OAc as the crucial step leading to the presence of two pathways involving H?Pd?B(OR)2 and molecular H2 as active intermediates.

- Oxidative and Reductive Cross-Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by an Anionic "ligandless" Palladium Complex
-
The anionic complex [NBu4][Pd(DMSO)Cl3], which can be synthesized on a gram scale in a single step starting from commercially available starting materials, has been shown to be an active catalyst in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl halides. We present two new catalytic applications of this complex: the base-free oxidative Heck reaction and the reductive homodimerization of aryl halides. This complex outperformed other palladium salts. In the latter reaction, the catalyst loading could be reduced to 0.01 mol %. The scope of the reactions has been explored, demonstrating the potential of the anionic palladium complex in these catalytic transformations.

- Fabrication of Pd/CuFe2O4 hybrid nanowires: A heterogeneous catalyst for Heck couplings
-
The development of environmentally benign transformations is indispensable in organic synthesis. Herein, a hybrid heterogeneous catalyst, palladium(0) on copper ferrite nanowires, has been synthesized, characterized, and for the first time, employed in the Jeffrey Heck reaction between iodoarenes and allylic alcohols, and good to excellent yields have been obtained. In addition, the catalyst was found to be suitable for the usual Heck coupling. The nanocatalyst was recovered and reused up-to multiple runs without any noticeable loss of its catalytic activity.

- A New Mode of Operation of Pd-NHC Systems Studied in a Catalytic Mizoroki-Heck Reaction
-
Metal complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are typically considered the system of choice for homogeneous catalysis with well-defined molecular active species due to their stable metal-ligand framework. A detailed study involving 19 different Pd-NHC complexes with imidazolium, benzimidazolium, and triazolium ligands has been carried out in the present work and revealed a new mode of operation of metal-NHC systems. The catalytic activity of the studied Pd-NHC systems is predominantly determined by the cleavage of the metal-NHC bond, while the catalyst performance is strongly affected by the stabilization of in situ formed metal clusters. In the present study, the formation of Pd nanoparticles was observed from a broad range of metal complexes with NHC ligands under standard Mizoroki-Heck reaction conditions. A mechanistic analysis revealed two different pathways to connect Pd-NHC complexes to "cocktail"-type catalysis: (i) reductive elimination from a Pd(II) intermediate and the release of NHC-containing byproducts and (ii) dissociation of NHC ligands from Pd intermediates. Metal-NHC systems are ubiquitously applied in modern organic synthesis and catalysis, while the new mode of operation revealed in the present study guides catalyst design and opens a variety of novel opportunities. As shown by experimental studies and theoretical calculations, metal clusters and nanoparticles can be readily formed from M-NHC complexes after formation of new M-C or M-H bonds followed by C-NHC or H-NHC coupling. Thus, a combination of a classical molecular mode of operation and a novel cocktail-type mode of operation, described in the present study, may be anticipated as an intrinsic feature of M-NHC catalytic systems.

- Synthesis, structure and catalytic activity of xylylene-bridged dipalladium complexes with triazolylidene ligands
-
A series of di-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) dipalladium complexes, [PdPyBr2]2(di-NHC) (2a–h), in which di-NHC represents a di-triazolylidene, featuring a 1,4-xylylene spacer between the carbene units, have been prepared from the reactions of the corresponding ditriazolium bromides with PdCl2 and excess NaBr as an additive in the presence of K2CO3 in pyridine. All of the complexes were fully characterized by NMR spectra, IR and elemental analyses. The molecular structure of 2b was determined by X-ray diffraction study, showing the intermolecular hydrogen bonding of Br···H–C. The influences of size of ligands on the catalytic activity have been investigated in the Heck reaction of styrene with bromobenzene. The complex 2g showed the best catalytic activity, and it is active for various aryl bromides with different electronic and steric properties and styrenes with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups.

- Cobalt-catalyzed (Z)-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes with molecular hydrogen
-
Cobalt-catalyzed highly (Z)-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes using molecular H2 was developed using commercially available and cheap cobalt precursors. A variety of (Z)-alkenes were obtained in moderate to excellent selectivities [(Z)-alkene/(E)-alkene/alkane ratio up to >99 : 1 : 1] and it was found that the readily available ethylenediamine ligand is crucial in determining the selectivity.

An efficient Ni(COD)2/dppf catalyzed olefination of Ar-O-TCT as synthetic equivalents of aryl halides is described. Activation of C-O bonds in phenols as readily available compounds was achieved with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT). This method provides practical access to 1,2-disubstituted olefins in high yields and high functional group compatibility.

- Z-Stereoselective Aza-Peterson Olefinations with Bis(trimethylsilane) Reagents and Sulfinyl Imines
-
Highly stereoselective aza-Peterson olefinations from bench-stable α,α-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluene reagents and N-substituted imines have been achieved using TMSO-/Bu4N+ as Lewis base activator in THF. Remarkably, and for the first time, N-t-butanesulfinyl imines were utilized for the synthesis of Z-stilbenes with excellent selectivities, while N-aryl imines generated E-stilbenes under identical reaction conditions. The protocol proved general for numerous examples with low molecular weight byproducts formed. The origin of the Z-selectivity is proposed to be a result of diastereoselective addition to N-t-butanesulfinyl imines followed by syn-elimination of an in situ formed hypervalent silicate.

- Aminofluorination of Cyclopropanes: A Multifold Approach through a Common, Catalytically Generated Intermediate
-
We have discovered a highly regioselective aminofluorination of cyclopropanes. Remarkably, four unique sets of conditions-two photochemical, two purely chemical-generated the same aminofluorinated adducts in good to excellent yields. The multiple, diverse ways in which the reaction could be initiated provided valuable clues that led to the proposal of a "unifying" chain propagation mechanism beyond initiation, tied by a common intermediate. In all, the proposed mechanism herein is substantiated by product distribution studies, kinetic analyses, LFERs, Rehm-Weller estimations of ΔGET, competition experiments, KIEs, fluorescence data, and DFT calculations. From a more physical standpoint, transient-absorption experiments have allowed direct spectroscopic observation of radical ion intermediates (previously only postulated or probed indirectly in photochemical fluorination systems) and, consequently, have provided kinetic support for chain propagation. Lastly, calculations suggest that solvent may play an important role in the cyclopropane ring-opening step.

- Synthesis and characterization of a host (a new thiol based dendritic polymer)-guest (Pd nanoparticles) nanocomposite material: An efficient and reusable catalyst for C-C coupling reactions
-
The catalytic activity of a new thiol based dendritic polymer immobilized on nano silica containing palladium nanoparticles was studied in C-C coupling reactions. In this manner, functionalized silica nanoparticles were reacted with 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl and then with 1,2-ethanedithiol. Finally, this new dendritic material was used as host for carrying of Pd nanoparticles. Thermogravimetric and elemental analyses are in a proper correlation and confirm the successful synthesis of the dendritic polymer. The characterization of the catalyst by transmission electron microscopy, EDX and elemental mapping, show a uniform dispersed, nano-scaled Pd particles in denderimer's cavities and also on the surface functional groups. This insoluble nanosilica thiolated dendritic polymer-supported Pd nanoparticles, showed a set of favorable properties to be used as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck C-C coupling reactions.

- Synthesis and tyrosinase inhibition activity of trans-stilbene derivatives
-
Synthesis of a focussed library of trans-stilbene compounds through Wittig and other base catalysed condensation reactions is presented. The synthesized stilbenes were screened for their inhibitory potential against murine tyrosinase activity to explore the structure activity relationship (SAR). Presence of electron withdrawing group (-CN) at the double bond and hydroxyl group or halogen atom especially at para-position on the aromatic rings was found to significantly elevate the inhibitory activity. Among all the compounds screened, compounds 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 15 and 21 were found to exhibit appreciable inhibitory activity. Compound 21 ((E)-2,3-bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acryonitrile) was found to be the most active with an IC50 value of 5.06 μM which is less than half of the value 10.78 μM observed for resveratrol (common standard used in murine tyrosinase activity studies) under similar conditions. The results obtained from the present study reveal structural/functional group sensitivity for the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of stilbenoid moieties and are expected to be very helpful for the design and synthesis of novel, selective and effective tyrosinase inhibitors.

- Air-Driven Potassium Iodide-Mediated Oxidative Photocyclization of Stilbene Derivatives
-
A new method has been developed for the potassium iodide-mediated oxidative photocyclization of stilbene derivatives. Compared with conventional iodine-mediated oxidative photocyclization reactions, this new method requires shorter reaction times and affords cyclized products in yields of 45-97%. This reaction proceeds with a catalytic amount of potassium iodide and works in an air-driven manner without the addition of an external scavenger. The radical-mediated oxidative photocyclization of stilbene derivatives using TEMPO was also investigated.

- Ligand-Controlled Cobalt-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkynes: Stereodivergent Synthesis of Z- and E-Alkenes
-
Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed stereodivergent transfer hydrogenation of alkynes to Z- and E-alkenes. Effective selectivity control is achieved based on a rational catalyst design. Moreover, this mild system allows for the transfer hydrogenation of alkynes bearing a wide range of functional groups in good yields using catalyst loadings as low as 0.2 mol %. The general applicability of this procedure is highlighted by the synthesis of more than 50 alkenes with good chemo- and stereoselectivity. A preliminary mechanistic study revealed that E-alkene product was generated via sequential alkyne hydrogenation to give Z-alkene intermediate, followed by a Z to E alkene isomerization process.

- Supported gold nanoparticles catalyzed: Cis -selective semihydrogenation of alkynes using ammonium formate as the reductant
-
TiO2 supported gold nanoparticles with low loading (0.5 mol%) are able to semihydrogenate non-fluorinated and gem-difluorinated alkynes to cis-alkenes with high selectivity, using cost-effective and easy-to-handle ammonium formate as the reductant. No over-reduction was observed. The good recyclability of Au/TiO2 allows for "green" semireduction of alkynes. A difluorinated pyran and α,β-unsaturated δ-lactone were easily prepared from the obtained gem-difluoro alkene building blocks.

- Unlocking Mizoroki–Heck-Type Reactions of Aryl Cyanides Using Transfer Hydrocyanation as a Turnover-Enabling Step
-
A new transfer hydrofunctionalization strategy to turnover H-MII-X complexes has enabled both intra- and intermolecular Mizoroki–Heck (MH)-type reactions of aryl cyanides that are challenging to realize under traditional, basic conditions. Initially, a cascade carbonickelation/MH reaction of 2-cyanostyrenes was achieved using a key alkyne transfer hydrocyanation step. Mechanistic experiments supported the proposed catalytic cycle, including the turnover-enabling transfer hydrocyanation step. The reactivity was then extended to the intermolecular MH reaction of benzonitriles and styrenes.
