- Alkali-modified heterogeneous Pd-catalyzed synthesis of acids, amides and esters from aryl halides using formic acid as the CO precursor
-
To establish an environmentally friendly green chemical process, we minimized and resolved a significant proportion of waste and hazards associated with conventional organic acids and molecular gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO). Herein, we report a facile and milder reaction procedure, using low temperatures/pressures and shorter reaction time for the carboxyl- and carbonylation of diverse arrays of aryl halides over a newly developed cationic Lewis-acid promoted Pd/Co3O4catalyst. Furthermore, the reaction proceeded in the absence of acid co-catalysts, and anhydrides for CO release. Catalyst reusability was achievedviascalable, safer, and practical reactions that provided moderate to high yields, paving the way for developing a novel environmentally benign method for synthesizing carboxylic acids, amides, and esters.

- Pd(OH)2/C, a Practical and Efficient Catalyst for the Carboxylation of Benzylic Bromides with Carbon Monoxide
-
A simple, efficient, cheap, and broadly applicable system for the carboxylation of benzylic bromides with carbon monoxide and water is reported. Upon simple reaction with only 2.5 wt % of Pearlman's catalyst and 10 mol % of tetrabutylammonium bromide in tetrahydrofuran at 110 °C for 4 h, a range of benzylic bromides can be smoothly converted to the corresponding arylacetic acids in good to excellent yields after simple extraction and acid-base wash. The reaction was found to be broadly applicable, scalable, and could be successfully extended to the use of ex situ-generated carbon monoxide and applied to the synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac.

Xylene, bistriphenylphosphine palladium dichloride, tetraethylammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide in solution are added to the reaction system and held at 80 °C under a CO atmosphere. 2,4-Dichlorophenylacetic acid is obtained in a maximum yield of 95percent, and a mechanism for 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride carbonylation is proposed.

- A General, Activator-Free Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Arylacetic and Benzoic Acids from Formic Acid
-
A new catalyst for the carboxylative synthesis of arylacetic and benzoic acids using formic acid (HCOOH) as the CO surrogate was developed. In an improvement over previous work, CO is generated in situ without the need for any additional activators. Key to success was the use of a specific system consisting of palladium acetate and 1,2-bis((tert-butyl(2-pyridinyl)phosphinyl)methyl)benzene. The generality of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of more than 30 carboxylic acids, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), under mild conditions in good yields.

- Characterization of a new nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 for a two-step one-pot synthesis of (S)-β-amino acids
-
A nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 (HpN) demonstrating excellent catalytic activity towards benzoylacetonitrile was identified from a nitrilase tool-box, which was developed previously in our laboratory for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid synthesis from o-chloromandelonitrile. The HpN was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified to homogeneity by nickel column affinity chromatography, and its biochemical properties were studied. The HpN was very stable at 30–40?°C, and highly active over a wide range of pH values (pH 6.0–10.0). In addition, the HpN could tolerate against several hydrophilic organic solvents. Steady-state kinetics indicated that HpN was highly active towards benzoylacetonitrile, giving a KM of 4.2?mM and a kcat of 170?s?1, the latter of which is ca. fivefold higher than the highest record reported so far. A cascade reaction for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-β-phenylalanine from benzoylacetonitrile was developed by coupling HpN with an ω-transaminase from Polaromonas sp. JS666 in toluene-water biphasic reaction system using β-alanine as an amino donor. Various (S)-β-amino acids could be produced from benzoylacetonitrile derivatives with moderate to high conversions (73–99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (> 99% ee). These results are significantly advantageous over previous studies, indicating a great potential of this cascade reaction for the practical synthesis of (S)-β-phenylalanine in the future.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxylation of Benzyl Chlorides with Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide in Combination with Manganese/Magnesium Chloride
-
An efficient direct carboxylation of a series of benzyl chlorides with CO2 catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2/dicyclohexyl (2′,6′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphine (SPhos) was developed to afford the corresponding phenylacetic acids in combination with Mn powder as a reducing reagent and MgCl2 as an indispensable additive. The reaction proceeded smoothly under 1 atm CO2. The application of Mn powder instead of a sensitive reducing reagent represents an operationally simple access to phenylacetic acids. Notably, MgCl2 is able to stabilize the (SPhos)2PdII(Bn)(Cl)(η1-CO2)(MgCl2) adduct and thus facilitates CO2 insertion into the PdII-C bond, which is supported by a DFT study. Specific effect: MgCl2 facilitates the direct insertion of CO2 into the PdII-C bond by stabilizing the PdII-CO2 adduct. With MgCl2 as an indispensable additive, the Pd-catalyzed carboxylation of various benzyl chlorides proceeded smoothly under 1 atm CO2, and the application of Mn powder instead of a sensitive reducing reagent makes this protocol an operationally simple access to phenylacetic acids.

- On the Conformation of the Substrate Binding to the Active Site during the Course of Enzymatic Decarboxylation
-
The activation parameters of the enzymatic decarboxylation of malonic acid derivatives catalyzed by arylmalonate decarboxylase (AMDase) were obtained by means of kinetics. In order to understand the conformation of the substrate at the transition state, the activation entropy (ΔS?) for indane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid, a representative molecule that is conformationally restricted, was compared with those of phenylmalonic acid and ortho-chlorophenylmalonic acid, of which the aromatic ring can freely rotate. The obtained value for the former molecule was about 10 cal mol-1 K-1 smaller than those of the latter compounds, clearly indicating that a conformationally restricted substrate, such as the indane derivative, is entropically advantageous for enzymatic decarboxylation. These kinetic studies evidently disclose that the conformation of the substrate at the transition state in the course of AMDase-catalyzed decarboxylation should be synperiplanar with regard to ortho- and α-substituents.
