- Yeast supported gold nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of commercially important aryl amines
-
Candida parapsilosisATCC 7330 supported gold nanoparticles (CpGNP), prepared by a simple and green method can selectively reduce nitroarenes and substituted nitroarenes with different functional groups like halides (-F, -Cl, -Br), olefins, esters and nitriles using sodium borohydride. The product aryl amines which are useful for the preparation of pharmaceuticals, polymers and agrochemicals were obtained in good yields (up to >95%) using CpGNP catalyst under mild conditions. The catalyst showed high recyclability (≥10 cycles) and is a robust free flowing powder, stored and used after eight months without any loss in catalytic activity.

- Efficient hydrogenation catalyst designing via preferential adsorption sites construction towards active copper
-
Based on the experimental and DFT calculation results, here for the first time we built preferential adsorption sites for nitroarenes by modification of the supported Cu catalysts surface with 1,10-phenathroline (1,10-phen), by which the yield of aniline via reduction of nitroarene is enhanced three times. Moreover, a macromolecular layer was in-situ generated on supported Cu catalysts to form a stable macromolecule modified supported Cu catalyst, i.e., CuAlOx-M. By applying the CuAlOx-M, a wide variety of nitroarene substrates react smoothly to afford the desired products in up to > 99% yield with > 99% selectivity. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups, including halides, ketone, amide, and C = C bond moieties. The excellent catalytic performance of the CuAlOx-M can be attributed to that the 1,10-phen modification benefits the preferential adsorption of nitrobenzene and slightly weakens adsorption of aniline on the supported nano-Cu surface.

- Cobalt nanoclusters coated with N-doped carbon for chemoselective nitroarene hydrogenation and tandem reactions in water
-
The development of active and selective non-noble metal-based catalysts for the chemoselective reduction of nitro compounds in aquo media under mild conditions is an attractive research area. Herein, the synthesis of subnanometric and stable cobalt nanoclusters, covered by N-doped carbon layers as core-shell (Co@NC-800), for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes is reported. TheCo@NC-800catalyst was prepared by the pyrolysis of the Co(tpy)2complex impregnated on Vulcan carbon. In fact, the use of a molecular complex based on six N-Co bonds drives the formation of a well-defined and distributed cobalt core-shell nanocluster covered by N-doped carbon layers. In order to elucidate its nature, it has been fully characterized by using several advanced techniques. In addition, this as-prepared catalyst showed high activity, chemoselectivity and stability toward the reduction of nitro compounds with H2and under mild reaction conditions; water was used as a green solvent, improving the previous results based on cobalt catalysts. Moreover, theCo@NC-800catalyst is also active and selective for the one-pot synthesis of secondary aryl amines and isoindolinones through the reductive amination of nitroarenes. Finally, based on diffraction and spectroscopic studies, metallic cobalt nanoclusters with surface CoNxpatches have been proposed as the active phase in theCo@NC-800material.

- A New Nitrogen Pd(II) Complex Immobilized on Magnetic Mesoporous Silica: A Retrievable Catalyst for C–C Bond Formation
-
Abstract: A new nitrogen ligand, i.e. 1,3-di-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-propyl propargyl ether (DPPE), has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic mesoporous silica composite (MNP@SiO2-SBA) was obtained via embedding magnetite nano-particles (MNPs) between SBA-15 channels. DPPE palladium dichloride (MNP@SiO2-SBA-DPPE-Pd(II)) was then prepared via click chemistry and fully characterized. The activity and recyclability of supported magnetic Pd(II) catalyst were evaluated in Heck coupling reaction after optimizing the optimal reaction conditions including solvent, amount of catalyst, base and temperature. Aryl iodides and aryl bromides showed enhanced activity compared to those of aryl chlorides in the Heck reaction. The catalyst was easily separated magnetically, reused in five runs sequentially, and no significant loss of activity was observed. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Commercially Available CuO Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Using Ammonia Borane as a Hydrogen Source
-
Tandem ammonia borane dehydrogenation and nitroarenes hydrogenation has been reported as a novel strategy for the preparation of aromatic amines. However, the practical application of this strategy is subjected to the high-cost and tedious preparation of supported noble metal nanocatalysts. The commercially available CuO powder is herein demonstrated to be a robust catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes using ammonia borane as a hydrogen source under mild conditions. Numerous amines (even sterically hindered, halogenated, and diamines) could be obtained through this method. This monometallic catalyst is characteristic of support-free, excellent chemoselectivity, low-cost, and high recyclability, which will favor its future utilization in preparative reduction chemistry. Mechanistic studies are also carried out to clarify that diazene and azoxybenzene are key intermediates of this heterogeneous reduction.

- A new class of 1,3,5-triazine-based selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs): Lead optimization, molecular docking and dynamic simulation
-
Selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that acts as not only ER antagonist, but also ER degrader, would be useful for the treatment for drug-resistance ER+ breast cancer. However, most of currently available SERD candidates involve very limited molecular scaffolds and are still in clinical trials. In this study, we introduced a 1,3,5-triazine ring into a homobibenzyl motif extracted from amounts of ER ligands and synthesized sixteen SERDs bearing acrylic acid or acrylic amide side chains that possess both ERα antagonism and degradation properties. And all compounds were screened for their anti-proliferative activity against ER+ MCF-7 and Ishikawa cell lines. Among them, compound XHA1614 displayed potent growth inhibition activity against MCF-7 and Ishikawa cells with IC50 values of 3.15 μM and 3.11 μM, respectively. Moreover, XHA1614 could dramatically degrade ER level at 1 nM in a Western blotting assay and afforded an outstanding antagonistic activity via suppressing the expression of progesterone receptor messenger RNA in MCF-7 cells in a RT-PCR assay. Further molecular docking and dynamic simulation on properly selected derivative furnished insights into its binding profile within ERα. Our findings suggest that the 1,3,5-triazine core was a feasible alternative to currently reported SERD scaffold, and provide information that will be useful for further development of promising SERDs candidates for breast cancer therapies.

- Defect-mediated selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes on nanostructured WS2
-
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are well known catalysts as both bulk and nanoscale materials. Two-dimensional (2-D) TMDs, which contain single- and few-layer nanosheets, are increasingly studied as catalytic materials because of their unique thickness-dependent properties and high surface areas. Here, colloidal 2H-WS2 nanostructures are used as a model 2-D TMD system to understand how high catalytic activity and selectivity can be achieved for useful organic transformations. Free-standing, colloidal 2H-WS2 nanostructures containing few-layer nanosheets are shown to catalyze the selective hydrogenation of a broad scope of substituted nitroarenes to their corresponding aniline derivatives in the presence of other reducible functional groups. Microscopic and computational studies reveal the important roles of sulfur vacancy-rich basal planes and tungsten-terminated edges, which are more abundant in nanostructured 2-D materials than in their bulk counterparts, in enabling the functional group selectivity. At tungsten-terminated edges and on regions of the basal planes having high concentrations of sulfur vacancies, vertical adsorption of the nitroarene is favored, thus facilitating hydrogen transfer exclusively to the nitro group due to geometric effects. At lower sulfur vacancy concentrations on the basal planes, parallel adsorption of the nitroarene is favored, and the nitro group is selectively hydrogenated due to a lower kinetic barrier. These mechanistic insights reveal how the various defect structures and configurations on 2-D TMD nanostructures facilitate functional group selectivity through distinct mechanisms that depend upon the adsorption geometry, which may have important implications for the design of new and enhanced 2-D catalytic materials across a potentially broad scope of reactions.

- Cobalt-based nanoparticles prepared from MOF-carbon templates as efficient hydrogenation catalysts
-
The development of efficient and selective nanostructured catalysts for industrially relevant hydrogenation reactions continues to be an actual goal of chemical research. In particular, the hydrogenation of nitriles and nitroarenes is of importance for the production of primary amines, which constitute essential feedstocks and key intermediates for advanced chemicals, life science molecules and materials. Herein, we report the preparation of graphene shell encapsulated Co3O4- and Co-nanoparticles supported on carbon by the template synthesis of cobalt-terephthalic acid MOF on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis. The resulting nanoparticles create stable and reusable catalysts for selective hydrogenation of functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic nitriles, and as well as nitro compounds to primary amines (>65 examples). The synthetic and practical utility of this novel non-noble metal-based hydrogenation protocol is demonstrated by upscaling several reactions to multigram-scale and recycling of the catalyst.

- Heterogeneous Iron-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes under Water-Gas Shift Reaction Conditions
-
Reduction of various nitroarenes in the presence of heterogeneous iron oxide-based catalyst Fe 2 O 3 /NGr@C under water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) conditions has been demonstrated. The catalytic material is prepared in a straightforward manner via deposition/pyrolysis of iron-phenanthroline complex on carbon support. It shows high chemoselectivity towards the reduction of nitroarenes in the presence of other reducible and/or poisoning-capable functional groups. Hydrogenation is achieved using CO/H 2 O as a hydrogen source. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the presence of triethylamine additive has a significant positive effect on the rate of reduction.

Development of catalytically active materials from biowaste represents an important aspect of sustainable chemical research. Three heterogeneous materials were synthesized from inexpensive biomass-based chitosan and abundant Co(OAc)2 using complexation followed by pyrolysis at various temperatures. These materials were applied in the catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes using molecular hydrogen. A variety of diversely functionalized nitroarenes including some pharmaceutically active compounds were converted into aromatic amines in high yields, with high selectivity, and with excellent functional group tolerance. This green protocol has also been implemented for the synthesis of a biologically important TRPC3 inhibitor.

- Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Molybdenum Sulphide Clusters
-
Herein, we describe an atom efficient and general protocol for the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines catalyzed by well-defined diimino and diamino cubane-type Mo3S4 clusters. The novel diimino [Mo3S4Cl3(dnbpy)3]+ ([5]+) (dnbpy=4,4′-dinonyl-2,2′-dipyridyl, L1) trinuclear complex was synthesized in high yields by simple ligand substitution reactions starting from the thiourea (tu) [Mo3S4(tu)8(H2O)]Cl4?4 H2O (3) precursor. This strategy has also been successfully adapted for the isolation of the diamino [Mo3S4Cl3(dmen)3](BF4) ([6](BF4)), (dmen=N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine) salt. Applying these catalysts, high selectivity in the hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes has been accomplished. Over thirty anilines bearing synthetically functional groups have been synthesized in 70 to 99 % yield. Notably, the integrity of the cluster core is preserved during catalysis. Based on kinetic studies on the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and other potential reaction intermediates, the direct reduction to aniline is the preferential route.

- Palladium on Polydopamine: Its True Potential in Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenations and Heck Coupling Reactions
-
The application of Pd–polydopamine and magnetic Fe3O4@Pd–polydopamine catalysts in catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions and the Heck arylation is reported. The reduction of a wide range of aromatic nitro-compounds bearing both electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents to the corresponding anilines could be efficiently performed, although the reduction of carbonyl compounds was found to be less general. In the latter case, only aromatic ketones could be reduced to the corresponding alcohols, whereas aldehyde substrates were unaffected, which may be owing to their reaction with the catalyst support leading to catalyst deactivation. By using magnetic Fe3O4@Pd–polydopamine system, facilitated catalyst recovery and reuse for five consecutive cycles without considerable loss of activity in nitro-group reduction. The efficiency of the catalyst in Heck reactions was comparable to that in transfer hydrogenation, however, no catalytic activity was observed upon reuse in this case, likely as a result of metal leaching. We also explored tandem Heck reaction/catalytic transfer hydrogenation sequences, however, the two reactions showed limited compatibility under the applied conditions.

These catalysts display high activity in the liquid phase hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds (110?°C, 50 bar H2) to give chemoselectively substituted aryl amines. The catalytic activity is closely related to the amount and type of nitrogen atoms in the final catalytic material, which suggests a heterolytic activation of dihydrogen.

- Chemoselective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes using MOF-derived co-based catalysts
-
The synthesis, characterization, and application of nitrogen-doped carbon supported Co catalysts in selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes are described. The cobalt-based catalysts are prepared by simple pyrolysis of ZIF-67, a typical MOF material, under inert atmosphere. Physicochemical properties of the Co/C-N catalysts have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Co-based materials were found to be highly efficient in the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes. A broad range of substituted nitroarenes are converted to the corresponding anilines in excellent yields under industrially viable conditions with other reducing groups remaining intact. In situ ATR-IR and XPS characterizations reveal that the Co-N centers present in the catalyst favor the preferential adsorption of nitro groups, leading to this unique chemoselectivity. The kinetic parameters of 4-nitrostyrene hydrogenation over the Co/C-N catalyst were investigated.

- Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of First-in-Class Dual Acting Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
-
Simultaneous inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) and histone deacetylases (HDAC) has recently been validated as a potentially novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD). To further extend this concept, we designed and synthesized the first chemical series of dual acting PDE5 and HDAC inhibitors, and we validated this systems therapeutics approach. Following the implementation of structure- and knowledge-based approaches, initial hits were designed and were shown to validate our hypothesis of dual in vitro inhibition. Then, an optimization strategy was pursued to obtain a proper tool compound for in vivo testing in AD models. Initial hits were translated into molecules with adequate cellular functional responses (histone acetylation and cAMP/cGMP response element-binding (CREB) phosphorylation in the nanomolar range), an acceptable therapeutic window (>1 log unit), and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to the identification of 7 as a candidate for in vivo proof-of-concept testing (Cuadrado-Tejedor, M.; Garcia-Barroso, C.; Sánchez-Arias, J.

- Highly selective transfer hydrogenation of functionalised nitroarenes using cobalt-based nanocatalysts
-
Anilines are important feedstock for the synthesis of a variety of chemicals such as dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The chemoselective catalytic reduction of nitro compounds represents the most important and prevalent process for the manufacture of functionalized anilines. Consequently, the development of selective catalysts for the reduction of nitro compounds in the presence of other reducible groups is a major challenge and is crucial. In this regard, herein we show that the cobalt oxide (Co3O4-NGr@C) based nano-materials, prepared by the pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on carbon constitute highly selective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines using formic acid as a hydrogen source. Applying these catalysts, a series of structurally diverse and functionalized nitroarenes have been reduced to anilines with unprecedented chemo-selectivity tolerating halides, olefins, aldehyde, ketone, ester, amide and nitrile functionalities.

A liquid crystalline dendrimer having a cinnamate mesogen containing an azobenzene moiety (D-6AC2) was prepared as an alignment agent of nematic liquid crystals for a planar homogeneous alignment. D-6AC2 is a thermotropic liquid crystal showing smectic phases. A mixture of ZLI-4792 with 1wt% of D-6AC2 exhibited a homeotropic alignment. After UV irradiation of the same sample, the schlieren texture due to a planar orientation was observed, and the texture was maintained even after 133 days. Thus D-6AC2 can induce the stable planar alignment of NLC upon UV irradiation. Furthermore, D-6AC2 could induce a planar homogeneous alignment by polarized UV light irradiation.

A Solid-supported rhodium(0) (SS-Rh) catalyst has been developed and applied for the chemo- and regio-selective reduction of nitroarenes functionalized with CC multiple bonds and dinitroarenes to their corresponding amines respectively using hydrazine hydrate (N2H4· H2O) as a reducing source under mild microwave irradiation (MWI) conditions. The present methodology also shows excellent compatibility with a broad range of structurally diverse reducible functional groups. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and reused for 13 cycles with consistent activity hence reduces the cost of the catalyst assertively.

- Palladium supported on zinc oxide nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, and application as heterogeneous catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira reactions under ligand-free and air atmosphere conditions
-
In this paper, a novel Palladium (Pd) supported on ZnO nanoparticles was readily synthesized and characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and BET specific surface area measurement. The total amount of palladium particles on ZnO was determined by induced coupled plasma (ICP) analysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) which is 9.8 wt%. Percentage of accessible Pd as active catalyst is also estimated to 2.72% based on the thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. Nano Pd/ZnO was found as a new, novel, and excellent heterogeneous catalyst for ligand-free C-C bond formation through the Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira reactions under air atmosphere without the use of any Ar or N2 flow. The catalyst can be recovered and recycled several times without marked loss of activity.

- Nano Pd-Fe3O4@Alg beads: As an efficient and magnetically separable catalyst for Suzuki, Heck and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions
-
Catalytic processes are the backbone of many chemical industries. In a comparative study of various heterogeneous catalytic systems, we report efficient and magnetically separable nano Pd-Fe3O4@Alg beads as catalysts for Suzuki, Heck and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions. This catalyst was characterized by SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XRD, EDAX, FT-IR, VSM, DSC-TGA, BET, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. This heterogeneous catalyst showed high catalytic activity and stability for C-C and C-N bond forming coupling reactions with excellent product yield under ligand free conditions. The beads of nano Pd-Fe3O4@Alg can be separated from the reaction mixture by an external magnet and reused for several successive cycles with no appreciable loss in the catalytic activity. The Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions in aqueous medium are greener routes, which is an added advantage of this protocol. This journal is

- Chemoselective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes and imines by using carbon nanofiber-supported iridium nanoparticles
-
The reaction of three types of carbon nanofibers (CNFs; platelet: CNF-P, tubular: CNF-T, herringbone: CNF-H) with Ir4(CO)12 in mesitylene at 165 °C provided the corresponding CNF-supported iridium nanoparticles, Ir/CNFs (Ir content=2.3-2.6 wt. %). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of these Ir/CNF samples revealed that size-controlled Ir nanoparticles (average particle size of 1.1-1.5 nm) existed on the CNFs. Among the three Ir/CNF samples, Ir/CNF-T showed an excellent catalytic activity and chemoselectivity towards hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes and imines; the corresponding aniline derivatives were obtained with high turnover numbers at ambient temperature under 10 atm of H2, and the catalyst is reusable. Ir/CNF-T was also effective for the reductive N-alkylation of anilines with carbonyl compounds.

- Platinum N-heterocyclic carbene nanoparticles as new and effective catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics
-
In this communication, we report the first synthesis of Pt NPs stabilized with NHC ligands and their investigation as catalysts in the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes. The results in catalysis show that by a proper choice of the NHC stabilizer and the adjustment of the NHC/metal ratio, these NHC-capped Pt NPs exhibit high levels of activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation reactions. In particular, Pt NPs stabilized with 2 equiv. of IPr carbene (PtIPr0.2) catalyze the chemoselective reduction of a series of functionalized nitroarenes under mild conditions (1 bar H2, 30 °C). This catalyst tolerates the presence of a range of functional groups including hydroxyl, benzyloxy, carbonyl and olefinic moeities as well as halogens. Copyright

- Synthesis of a novel 8-hydroxyquinoline functionalized poly (ethylene glycol) bridged dicationic ionic liquid and its application in palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction under solvent-free conditions
-
A novel 8-hydroxyquinoline functionalized poly (ethylene glycol) bridged dicationic ionic liquid ([HQ-PEG1000-DIL][BF4]) was synthesized and characterized. It was applied as an efficiently recyclable ligand for Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction under solvent-free conditions. It is noteworthy that the Pd(OAc)2/[HQ-PEG1000-DIL][BF 4] catalytic system could be easily recovered and reused without obvious loss of catalytic activity after five recycling runs.

- Solid supported palladium(0) nano/microparticle: A ligand-free efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for mono- and β,β-double-Heck reaction
-
Solid supported palladium nano/microparticles were found to be active catalysts to perform mono- and β,β-double-Heck reactions. Different β-unsubstituted and substituted alkenes including acrylate, methacrylate, crotonate, styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide were investigated successfully for mono- and β,β-double-Heck reactions with aryl iodide under milder reaction condition. One-pot β,β-double-Heck reaction of aryl iodides with α,β-unsaturated ester, amide, nitrile, and styrene derivatives were also performed under standard reaction conditions. Wide functional group tolerance, easy catalyst recovery, and recyclability up to twelve times without significant loss of catalytic activity added extra importance to the present process.

- Dual emission from (E)-3-(4-methylamino-phenyl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester (MAPAEE) and its application as fluorescence probe for studying micellar and protein microenvironment
-
Steady state absorption, fluorescence and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy have been used for studying the photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer reaction in (E)-3-(4-methylamino-phenyl)-acrylic acid ethyl ester (MAPAEE). The title molecule shows dual emission due to high energy local and a low energy charge transfer emission. Depending on the nature of solvent the red shifted emission band shows good correlation with the solvent polarity parameter, ET(30) parameter and hydrogen bonding parameter. Quantum chemicals calculations by density functional theory predict that a stabilized twisted intramolecular charge transfer excited state generated either by twisting of the donor group ({single bond}NHMe) or the acceptor (- = {single bond}COOEt) group is responsible for the red shifted charge transfer emission. The solvent polarity dependent red shifted emission from the excited charge transfer state of MAPAEE has been used as fluorosensor to study bovine serum albumin proteinous and sodium dodecyl sulphate micellar microenvironment.

- Ferric hydroxide supported gold subnano clusters or quantum dots: Enhanced catalytic performance in chemoselective hydrogenation
-
An attempt to prepare ferric hydroxide supported Au subnano clusters via modified co-precipitation without any calcination was made. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been employed to study the structure and chemical states of these catalysts. No Au species could be observed in the HRTEM image nor from the XRD pattern, suggesting that the sizes of the Au species in and on the ferric hydroxide support were less than or around 1 nm. Chemoselective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was selected as a probe reaction to examine the catalytic properties of this catalyst. Under the same reaction conditions, such as 100 °C and 1 MPa H2 in the hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds, a 96-99% conversion (except for 4-nitrobenzonitrile) with 99% selectivity was obtained over the ferric hydroxide supported Au catalyst, and the TOF values were 2-6 times higher than that of the corresponding ferric oxide supported catalyst with 3-5 nm size Au particles. For further evaluation of this Au catalyst in the hydrogenation of citral and cinnamaldehyde, selectivity towards unsaturated alcohols was 2-20 times higher than that of the corresponding ferric oxide Au catalyst.
