- 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.

- Aliphatic amines modified CoO nanoparticles for catalytic oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen
-
The surface modification of metal oxides using organic modifiers is a potential strategy for enhancing their catalytic performances. In this study, a hydrophobic surface amine-modified CoO catalyst with a water contact angle of 143° was fabricated. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, TGA, FT-IR, HR-TEM, and XPS. The results showed that the fabricated catalyst performed better than the hydrophilic commercial CoO nanoparticle in the process of aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation. After the amines modification, commercial CoO also became hydrophobic and improved conversion of ethylbenzene was achieved. The surface modification of CoO with amines induced the hydrophobicity property, which could serve as a reference for the design of other hydrophobic catalysts.

- Efficient catalytic oxidation of methyl aromatic hydrocarbon with: N -alkyl pyridinium salts
-
A series of N-alkyl pyridinium salts were synthesized and employed as metal-free catalyst for the selective oxidation of methyl aromatic hydrocarbon with molecular oxygen. The electronic effect of the substitutes was found to be an important factor for the catalytic performance. With the introduction of electron-donating substitute -N(CH3)2, the conversion of p-xylene and selectivity of p-toluic acid could be simultaneously increased. 1-Benzyl-4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium salt showed the highest catalytic activity, and 95% conversion with 84% of selectivity to p-toluic acid could be obtained for the selective oxidation of p-xylene. Several methyl aromatic hydrocarbons could all be efficiently oxidized with the reported catalyst at the absence of any metal species.

- Assessing the effectiveness of oxidative approaches for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones from oxidation of iodomethyl group
-
Owing to excellent selectivity, high yield and stability towards over-reduction and over-oxidation, one of the impressive approaches to synthesize aldehydes and ketones is the oxidation of halomethyl groups. Numerous halomethyl oxidation-based methodologies to afford aldehydes and ketones are disclosed in the literature. Mostly, chloromethyl or bromomethyl group containing substrates have been used in the literature for performing oxidation. There are negligible data available in the literature that addresses the use of iodomethyl group containing substrates for transformation to aldehydes and ketones. In this research work, 110 reactions have been carried out to construct aldehydes and ketones from oxidation of iodomethyl group in benzylic iodides and allylic iodides using numerous well-known approaches reported in the literature. The classical approaches under observation include Sommelet oxidation, Kr?hnke oxidation, sodium periodate-mediated oxidative protocol, manganese dioxide-based oxidative approach, Kornblum oxidation and Hass–Bender oxidation. The eco-friendly approaches under observation include periodic acid-based IL protocol, periodic acid in vanadium pentoxide-mediated IL method, hydrogen peroxide in vanadium pentoxide-based approach and bismuth nitrate-promoted IL technique. In this investigation, yield, recyclability, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness and over-oxidation are the main parameters which are under observation. Among all these investigated techniques, periodic acid-based IL protocol, periodic acid in vanadium pentoxide-mediated IL method and hydrogen peroxide in vanadium pentoxide-based approach (aka. Chunbao oxidation protocol) were found to be highly efficient due to the following reasons: these approaches (1) provide excellent yields, (2) do not lead towards over-oxidation, (3) show good recyclability, (4) demonstrate high thermal stability and negligible flammability, and (5) require no special handling.

- An efficient approach for enhancing the catalytic activity of Ni-MOF-74: Via a relay catalyst system for the selective oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds under mild conditions
-
Although nickel-based materials exhibit similar catalytic activity to palladium in organic synthesis, the selective oxidation of inert C-H bonds in the absence of other co-catalysts remains a largely unsolved challenge. This paper introduces a facile and efficient approach for enhancing the catalytic activity of Ni-MOF-74 with [bmim]Br via a relay catalysis strategy, which is excellent for the selective oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds. Notably, the catalyst recycling and scale up experiments demonstrated the practicability of the protocol. This method combines the catalytic advantages of MOFs and ionic liquids (ILs), and provides an insight into oxidation reactions by cheap and efficient Ni-based catalysts.

- Activation and Oxidation of Mesitylene C-H Bonds by (Phebox)Iridium(III) Complexes
-
A pincer iridium(III) complex, (Phebox)Ir(OAc)2OH2 (1) (Phebox = 3,5-dimethylphenyl-2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)), selectively cleaves the benzylic C-H bond of mesitylene to form an isolable iridium mesityl complex, (Phebox)Ir(mesityl)(OAc) (3), in >90% yield. The trifluoroacetate analogue, (Phebox)Ir(OCOCF3)2OH2 (2), was synthesized to compare with complex 1 for C-H activation, and (Phebox)Ir(mesityl)(OCOCF3) (4) was synthesized by ligand exchange of complex 3. Both complexes 1 and 2 catalyze H/D exchange between mesitylene and D2O at 180 °C, exclusively at the benzylic position; 2 gave a higher turnover number (11 TO) than 1 (6 TO) in 12 h. Using d4-acetic acid as the source of deuterium, up to 92 turnovers of benzylic H/D exchange of mesitylene were obtained with complex 1. (Phebox)Ir(OCOCF3)2OH2 catalyzed the benzylic C-H oxidation of mesitylene using Ag2O as a terminal oxidant at 130 C, to form 3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde and 3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid in 35% ± 4% yield (5.1 ± 0.6 TO). DFT calculations were used to investigate two possible pathways for the catalytic oxidation of mesitylene: (1) C-H activation followed by oxy-functionalization and (2) Ir-oxo formation followed by outer-sphere C-H hydroxylation. Results of calculations of the C-H activation pathway appear to be the more consistent with the experimental observations. (Chemical Equation Presented).

- Method for estimating SN1 rate constants: Solvolytic reactivity of benzoates
-
Nucleofugalities of pentafluorobenzoate (PFB) and 2,4,6-trifluorobenzoate (TFB) leaving groups have been derived from the solvolysis rate constants of X,Y-substituted benzhydryl PFBs and TFBs measured in a series of aqueous solvents, by applying the LFER equation: log k = sf(Ef + Nf). The heterolysis rate constants of dianisylmethyl PFB and TFB, and those determined for 10 more dianisylmethyl benzoates in aqueous ethanol, constitute a set of reference benzoates whose experimental ΔG ? have been correlated with the ΔH? (calculated by PCM quantum-chemical method) of the model epoxy ring formation. Because of the excellent correlation (r = 0.997), the method for calculating the nucleofugalities of substituted benzoate LGs have been established, ultimately providing a method for determination of the SN1 reactivity for any benzoate in a given solvent. Using the ΔG? vs ΔH? correlation, and taking sf based on similarity, the nucleofugality parameters for about 70 benzoates have been determined in 90%, 80%, and 70% aqueous ethanol. The calculated intrinsic barriers for substituted benzoate leaving groups show that substrates producing more stabilized LGs proceed over lower intrinsic barriers. Substituents on the phenyl ring affect the solvolysis rate of benzhydryl benzoates by both field and inductive effects.

An efficient and chemoselective cleavage of silyl ethers (primary, secondary and aromatic) by using catalytic quantities of trimethylsilyl bromide (TMSBr) in methanol is reported. A wide range of alkyl silyl ethers such as TBS, TIPS, and TBDPS can be chemoselectively cleaved in high yield in the presence of aryl silyl ethers. The deprotection of silyl esters was also achieved employing catalytic quantities of TMSBr. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008.

- Aerobic oxidation of alcohols and alkylaromatics with dioxygen catalysed by N-hydroxyphthalimide with vanadium co-catalysts
-
[Bu4N]VO3 or a combination of vanadium complexes with chloride salts are attractive co-catalysts for oxidation reactions of organic compounds with dioxygen catalysed by N-hydroxyphthalimide. The role of the chloride additive relates to the formation of more labile six-coordinate vanadium complexes. The same effect is also observed with amines. Two catalytic systems based on NHPI/VO(acac)2 with LiCl or [Bu4N]Cl and NHPI/[Bu4N]VO3 are most effective in oxidation reactions of primary and secondary alcohols, but oxidation of alkylaromatics proceeds with conversion rates of from 14.4% in the case of toluene to 67.0% in the case of ethylbenzene and with different selectivities, dependent on the structure of the substrate.

- Rhodium(I)-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl- and alkenylboronic esters with CO2
-
When the esters of arylboronic acids with 2,2-dimethylpropan-1,3-diol were treated with a catalytic amount of [Rh(OH)(cod)]2 in the presence of 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and CsF in dioxane at 60 °C under carbon dioxide atmosphere, the benzoic acid derivatives were obtained in good yields. Reactions of alkenylboronic esters also proceeded under similar conditions to give α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. As these boronic esters are now easily available through coupling or direct borylation reactions, this method would be a useful method for the preparation of various functionalized aryl- and alkenyl-carboxylic acids.

- Bismuth-catalyzed benzylic oxidations with tert-butyl hydroperoxide
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Oxidation of alkyl and cycloalkyl arenes with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by bismuth and picolinic acid in pyridine and acetic acid gave the corresponding benzylic ketones (48-99%). Alternatively, oxidation of methyl arenes gave the corresponding substituted benzole acids (50-95%). Preliminary mechanistic studies were consistent with a radical mechanism rather than a bismuth(III)-bismuth(V) cycle.

- An efficient Pd(II)-based catalyst system for carboxylation of aromatic C-H bond by addition of a phosphenium salt
-
Addition of a phosphenium dramatically improved the reaction yields in the carboxylation of arenes by formic acid catalyzed by Pd(II). Control experiments revealed that the majority of the phosphenium triflate was converted to a mixed anhydride of phosphonic acid and formic acid (7), which however did not substitute for the phosphenium to improve the reaction yield.

- Unexpected catalytic activity of N-hydroxyphthalimide combined with some co-catalyst in oxidation of organic substrates by dioxygen
-
The combination of N-hydroxyphthalimide and various co-catalyst affords an efficient catalytic system for the aerobic oxidation of organic substrates. Thus, acids, tertiary and quaternary ammonium salts and typical Lewis acids (e.g. BF3) are effective co-catalysts. Their role is concerned to weakness the O H bond in NIIPI via hydrogen bond formation or as the result of the donor-acceptor interaction.

- Homolytic dissociation of 1-substituted cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acids: An EPR spectroscopic study of chain propagation
-
Hydrogen abstraction from 1-substituted cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acids containing linear, branched and cyclic alkyl substituents, as well as allyl, propargyl (prop-2-ynyl), cyanomethyl and benzyl substituents, has been studied by EPR spectroscopy. For each carboxylic acid, EPR spectra of the corresponding cyclohexadienyl radicals were observed at lower temperatures, followed by spectra due to ejected carbon-centred radicals at higher temperatures. Rate constants, for release of the carbon-centred radicals from the cyclohexadienyl radicals, were determined from radical concentration measurements for the above range of substituents. The rate of cyclohexadienyl radical dissociation increased with branching in the 1-alkyl substituent and with electron delocalisation in the ejected carbon-centred radical; 3,5-and 2,6-dimethyl-substitution of the cyclohexadienyl ring led to reductions in the dissociation rate constants. Rate data for abstraction of bisallylic hydrogens from the cyclohexadienyl acids were also obtained for ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl radicals. These results indicated a sharp drop in the rate of hydrogen abstraction as the degree of branching in the attacking radical increased. Small decreases in the hydrogen abstraction rate constants were observed for cyclohexadienes containing CO2R substituents.

- Catalytic Oxidation of Alkylbenzenes with Molecular Oxygen under Normal Pressure and Temperature by N-Hydroxyphthalimide Combined with Co(OAc)2
-
A practical catalytic method to convert alkylbenzenes into the corresponding carboxylic acids under atmospheric dioxygen at ambient temperature using a combined catalytic system consisting of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and Co(OAc)2 was developed. For instance, the oxidation of toluene was completed by NHPI combined with Co(OAc)2 under an oxygen atmosphere at room temperature to give benzoic acid in 81% yield. Under these conditions, o- and p-xylenes were selectively converted into the corresponding monocarboxylic acids without the formation of the dicarboxylic acids. ESR measurements showed that Co(II) species assists in the formation of phthalimide-N-oxyl (PINO), which is a key species in this oxidation, from NHPI.
