- Discovery and characterization of a novel perylenephotoreductant for the activation of aryl halides
-
To develop a photocatalyst with catalytical activity for substrates with low reactivities is always highly desired. Herein, based on the principle of structure–property relationships, we rationally designed the natural product cercosporin, the naturally occurring perylenequinonoid pigment, to develop a novel organic perylenephotoreductant, hexacetyl reduced cercosporin (HARCP), through structural manipulation. Compared with cercosporin, HARCP shows prominent electrochemical and photophysical characteristics with greatly improved photoreductive activity, fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence quantum yield. These properties allowed HARCP as a powerful photoreductant to efficiently realize a series of benchmark reactions, including photoreduction, alkoxylation and hydroxylation to construct C–H and C–O bonds using aryl halides as substrates under mild conditions, all of which have never been achieved by the same photocatalyst. Thus, this study well supports the notion that the principle between structural manipulation and photocatalytic activity is of great significance to design customized photocatalysts for photoredox chemistry.

- Light-emitting diode light–enabled denitrative etherification of 4-nitrobenzonitrile under catalyst-free conditions at room temperature
-
In this study, we have developed a catalyst-free procedure for denitrative etherification of electron-deficient nitroarenes. In this method, the reaction failed in the dark but was enabled by white light-emitting diode light (6 W) in the presence of NaOH/dimethylformamide at room temperature with short reaction times. Interestingly, the reaction in the dark is completed almost immediately once a small quantity of water is added to the reaction mixture. Ultraviolet irradiation (λ = 254 nm) was not effective for this reaction to proceed.

- A highly stable all-in-one photocatalyst for aryl etherification: The NiIIembedded covalent organic framework
-
The efficient conversion of aryl bromides to the corresponding aryl alkyl ethers by dual nickel/photocatalysis has seen great progress, but difficulties of recycling the photosensitizer or nickel complexes cause problems of sustainability. Here, we report the design of a novel, highly stable vinyl bridge 2D covalent organic framework (COF) containing Ni, which combines the role of photosensitizer and reactive site. The as-prepared sp2c-COFdpy-Ni acts as an efficient heterogeneous photocatalyst for C-O cross coupling. The sp2c-COFdpy-Ni can be completely recovered and used repeatedly without loss of activity, overcoming the limitations of the prior methods. Preliminary studies reveal that strong interlayer electron transfer may facilitate the generation of the proposed intermediate sp2c-COFdpy-NiI in a bimolecular and self-sustained manner. This all-in-one heterogeneous photocatalyst exhibits good compatibility of substrates and tolerance of functional groups. The successful attempt to expand the 2D COFs with this new catalyst into photocatalytic organic transformation opens an avenue for photoredox/transition metal mediated coupling reactions.

- Visible-Light Promoted C–O Bond Formation with an Integrated Carbon Nitride–Nickel Heterogeneous Photocatalyst
-
Ni-deposited mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-mpg-CNx) is introduced as an inexpensive, robust, easily synthesizable and recyclable material that functions as an integrated dual photocatalytic system. This material overcomes the need of expensive photosensitizers, organic ligands and additives as well as limitations of catalyst deactivation in the existing photo/Ni dual catalytic cross-coupling reactions. The dual catalytic Ni-mpg-CNx is demonstrated for C–O coupling between aryl halides and aliphatic alcohols under mild condition. The reaction affords the ether product in good-to-excellent yields (60–92 %) with broad substrate scope, including heteroaryl and aryl halides bearing electron-withdrawing, -donating and neutral groups. The heterogeneous Ni-mpg-CNx can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused over multiple cycles without loss of activity. The findings highlight exciting opportunities for dual catalysis promoted by a fully heterogeneous system.

- Zinc Oxide/Graphene Oxide as a Robust Active Catalyst for Direct Oxidative Synthesis of Nitriles from Alcohols in Water
-
In this work, without using any linker or chemical modification of graphene oxide, a zinc oxide immobilized graphene oxide-based catalyst was used for the direct aerobic oxidative conversion of alcohols to the nitriles in water. In the first step, graphene oxide was prepared and then zinc ions were electrostatically adsorbed onto the surface of graphene oxide. In the following step, zinc oxide nanoparticles were generated via in-situ growth in presence of NaOH. It was illustrated that graphene oxide layers can control the size of in-situ generated zinc oxide nanoparticles. Various aromatic/aliphatic/heteroaromatic primary alcohols converted to the nitriles in high yields under O2 balloon with ZnO/GO catalyst. This catalyst can be used for 7 successful consecutive runs without significant loss of activity. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Highly Efficient Oxidative Cyanation of Aldehydes to Nitriles over Se,S,N-tri-Doped Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanosheets
-
Oxidative cyanation of aldehydes provides a promising strategy for the cyanide-free synthesis of organic nitriles. Design of robust and cost-effective catalysts is the key for this route. Herein, we designed a series of Se,S,N-tri-doped carbon nanosheets with a hierarchical porous structure (denoted as Se,S,N-CNs-x, x represents the pyrolysis temperature). It was found that the obtained Se,S,N-CNs-1000 was very selective and efficient for oxidative cyanation of various aldehydes including those containing other oxidizable groups into the corresponding nitriles using ammonia as the nitrogen resource below 100 °C. Detailed investigations revealed that the excellent performance of Se,S,N-CNs-1000 originated mainly from the graphitic-N species with lower electron density and synergistic effect between the Se, S, N, and C in the catalyst. Besides, the hierarchically porous structure could also promote the reaction. Notably, the unique feature of this metal-free catalyst is that it tolerated other oxidizable groups, and showed no activity on further reaction of the products, thereby resulting in high selectivity. As far as we know, this is the first work for the synthesis of nitriles via oxidative cyanation of aldehydes over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts.

- Mustard Carbonate Analogues as Sustainable Reagents for the Aminoalkylation of Phenols
-
N,N-dialkyl ethylamine moiety can be found in numerous scaffolds of macromolecules, catalysts, and especially pharmaceuticals. Common synthetic procedures for its incorporation in a substrate relies on the use of a nitrogen mustard gas or on multistep syntheses featuring chlorine hazardous/toxic chemistry. Reported herein is a one-pot synthetic approach for the easy introduction of aminoalkyl chain into different phenolic substrates through dialkyl carbonate (β-aminocarbonate) chemistry. This new direct alcohol substitution avoids the use of chlorine chemistry, and it is efficient on numerous pharmacophore scaffolds with good to quantitative yield. The cytotoxicity via MTT of the β-aminocarbonate, key intermediate of this synthetic approach, was also evaluated and compared with its alcohol precursor.

- Acceptorless dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene-nitrogen-phosphine chelated bimetallic ruthenium (II) complex
-
We have developed a clean, atom-economical and environmentally friendly route for acceptorless dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles by combining a new dual N-heterocyclic carbene-nitrogen-phosphine ligand R(CNP)2 (R = o-xylyl) with a ruthenium precursor [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)]2. In this system, the electronic and steric factors of amines had a negligible influence on the reaction and a broad range of functional groups were well tolerated. All of the investigated amines could be converted to nitriles in good yield of up to 99% with excellent selectivity. The unprecedented catalytic performance of this system is attributed to the synergistic effect of two ruthenium centers chelated by R(CNP)2 and a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed according to the active species found via in situ NMR and HRMS.

-
In this study, mild conditions for aromatic substitutions during the syntheses of aryl ethers were developed. In the reaction conditions, the choices of solvent, base, and the sequence for the addition of the reagents proved important. A wide variety of alcohols were used directly as nucleophiles and smoothly reacted with aryl chlorides that possessed either a nitro or a cyano group at either the ortho- or para-position. Controlled experiments we performed suggested that the reaction underwent a charge-transfer process mediated by a combination of DMF and tert-BuOK.

- Atomically Dispersed Ru on Manganese Oxide Catalyst Boosts Oxidative Cyanation
-
There is a strong incentive for environmentally benign and sustainable production of organic nitriles to avoid the use of toxic cyanides. Here we report that manganese oxide nanorod-supported single-site Ru catalysts are active, selective, and stable for oxidative cyanation of various alcohols to give the corresponding nitriles with molecular oxygen and ammonia as the reactants. The very low amount of Ru (0.1 wt %) with atomic dispersion boosts the catalytic performance of manganese oxides. Experimental and theoretical results show how the Ru sites enhance the ammonia resistance of the catalyst, bolstering its performance in alcohol dehydrogenation and oxygen activation, the key steps in the oxidative cyanation. This investigation demonstrates the high efficiency of a single-site Ru catalyst for nitrile production.

- A new alkylation of aryl alcohols by boron trifluoride etherate
-
The ethylation of aryl alcohols by an ethyl moiety of boron trifluoride etherate is described. The reaction proceeded cleanly and afforded good yields of the corresponding aryl ethyl ethers. It tolerated the presence of functional groups such as aryl, alkyl, halogens, nitro, nitrile, and amino. However, the presence of amino or nitro groups ortho to a hydroxyl group of an aryl compound drastically reduced the yields of the anticipated products due to the chelation of the aforementioned functional groups with boron trifluoride etherate. A nitrogen atom in the aromatic ring system, as exemplified by hydroxypyridine and 8-hydroxyquinoline, completely inhibited the reaction. Resorcinol, hydroquinone, and aryl alcohols with aldehyde functions decomposed under the reaction conditions.

- Practical heterogeneous photoredox/nickel dual catalysis for C-N and C-O coupling reactions

Efficient C-N and C-O coupling reactions of aryl halides with amines and alcohols have been developed by using the strategy of heterogeneous visible light photoredox and nickel dual catalysis. Obviously, the joint use of inexpensive and bench-stable CdS and nickel salts, together with mild reaction conditions, makes these two transformations attractive for the synthetic community. This heterogeneous dual catalysis system also proved to be successful in the ligand-free catalytic hydroxylation of aryl bromide with water as a nucleophile. The practicality of this protocol is further emphasized by the scaled-up reaction and the reusability of heterogeneous photocatalysts.

- Uniform silver nanoparticles on tunable porous N-doped carbon nanospheres for aerobic oxidative synthesis of aryl nitriles from benzylic alcohols
-
Tunable N-doped carbon nanospheres from sucrose as carbon source and Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TAEA) as nitrogen source by a simple and easily reproducible method were prepared. It was demonstrated that the tunable N-doping of carbon spheres could be realized by altering the ratio of TAEA in the raw materials. The content of doped nitrogen, surface area, pore volume and pore size of carbon nanospheres were increased with the increasing of TAEA amount in the hydrothermal process. Prepared N-doped carbon nanospheres act as solid ligand for anchoring of Ag NPs which generated via chemical reduction of Ag ions. Benzylic alcohols and aldehydes were converted into the aryl nitriles by using Ag/N-CS-1 nanospheres as the catalyst and O2 as the oxidant, efficiently. This catalyst was stable and could use for 6 successful runs.

A simple method was developed for selective para-cyanation of alkoxy- and benzyloxy-substituted benzenes with 0.5 equivalents of potassium ferricyanide, 0.8 equivalants of copper(II) nitrate and 0.5 equivalents of iodine in acetonitrile. Among various phenyl carbon-hydrogen bonds, those at the para-position with regard to the alkoxy or benzyloxy groups were selectively cyanated in 20% to 87% yields (23 examples). The present method uses commercially available reagents, and can be performed on a ten gram-scale. Interestingly, methoxybenzene was cyanated in 32% yield in the absence of potassium ferricyanide, which suggests that the nitrile group of a part of the product is possibly from the solvent acetonitrile.

- Synthesis and antitumor activity of 2-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolo[1, 5-a] pyridine derivatives
-
A novel series of 2-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolo [1, 5-a] pyridine derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities in vitro against Human ovarian cancer cell line (HO-8910) and Human liver cancer cell line (Bel 7402). Most compounds showed high or mediate activity against the cancer cell lines when compared with Cisplatin. Two of them were tested the apoptosis on Bel 7402.

- Zinc(II) promoted conversion of aryltriazenes to aryl iodides and aryl nitriles
-
Aryltriazenes react with zinc perchlorate/zinc cyanide to produces arylnitriles and react with zinc iodide to produce aryliodides. The reaction mechanism involves aryl radicals that have been trapped by addition to propenenitriles in a good preparative Meerwein arylation process.
