- Photoinduced FeCl3-Catalyzed Alkyl Aromatics Oxidation toward Degradation of Polystyrene at Room Temperature?
-
While polystyrene is widely used in daily life as a synthetic plastic, the subsequently selective degradation is still very challenging and highly required. Herein, we disclose a highly practical and selective reaction for the catalytically efficient oxidation of alkyl aromatics (including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl aromatics) to carboxylic acids. While dioxygen was used as the sole terminal oxidant, this protocol was catalyzed by the inexpensive and readily available ferric compound (FeCl3) with irradiation of visible light (blue LEDs) under only 1 atmosphere of O2 at room temperature. This system could further facilitate the selective degradation of polystyrene to benzoic acid, providing an important and practical tool to generate high-value chemical from abundant polystyrene wastes.

- Light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate-mediated selective oxidation of C-H bonds
-
Visible light-induced organic reactions are important chemical transformations in organic chemistry, and their efficiency highly depends on suitable photocatalysts. However, the commonly used photocatalysts are precious transition-metal complexes and elaborate organic dyes, which hamper large-scale production due to high cost. Here, for the first time, we report a novel strategy: light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate-mediated selective oxidation of C-H bonds, allowing high-value-added aromatic ketones and carboxylic acids to be easily prepared in high-to-excellent yields using readily available alkyl arenes, methyl arenes and aldehydes as materials. The mechanistic investigations showed that the treatment of inexpensive and readily available sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate with oxygen under irradiation of light could in situ form a pentacoordinate sulfide intermediate as an efficient photosensitizer. The method represents a highly efficient, economical and environmentally friendly strategy, and the light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate photocatalytic system represents a breakthrough in photochemistry.

- Arene-ruthenium(II)-phosphine complexes: Green catalysts for hydration of nitriles under mild conditions
-
Three new arene-ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by treating [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-arene)}2] (η6-arene = p-cymene) dimer with tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu3) and 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), respectively to obtain [RuCl2(η6-arene)PFu3] [Ru]-1, [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)(PTA)]BF4 [Ru]-2 and [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)2]BF4 [Ru]-3. All the complexes were structurally identified using analytical and spectroscopic methods including single-crystal X-ray studies. The effectiveness of resulting complexes as potential homogeneous catalysts for selective hydration of different nitriles into corresponding amides in aqueous medium and air atmosphere was explored. There was a remarkable difference in catalytic activity of the catalysts depending on the nature and number of phosphorus-donor ligands and sites available for catalysis. Experimental studies performed using structural analogues of efficient catalyst concluded a structural-activity relationship for the higher catalytic activity of [Ru]-1, being able to convert huge variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic nitriles. The use of eco-friendly water as a solvent, open atmosphere and avoidance of any organic solvent during the catalytic reactions prove the reported process to be truly green and sustainable.

- Magnetic Nanoparticle-Supported Cu–NHC Complex as an Efficient and Recoverable Catalyst for Nitrile Hydration
-
Magnetic nanoparticles supported N-heterocyclic carbene–Cu complex was prepared and authenticated by FT-IR, SEM, EDX, VSM, powder-XRD. The catalytic activity of these magnetically retrievable NPs was investigated for hydration of nitriles as the simplest route for the synthesis of amides in an atom-economical manner. A wide range of nitriles containing various functional groups such as olefin, aldehyde, nitro, carboxylic acid was examined in this transformation to generate their corresponding amides in the aqueous medium. The immobilized catalyst was easily recovered using an external magnet and reused for six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Tert-Butyl Nitrite-Mediated Synthesis of N-Nitrosoamides, Carboxylic Acids, Benzocoumarins, and Isocoumarins from Amides
-
This work reports tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) as a multitask reagent for (1) the controlled synthesis of N-nitrosoamide from N-alkyl amides, (2) hydrolysis of N-methoxyamides to carboxylic acids, (3) metal- and oxidant-free benzocoumarin synthesis from ortho-aryl-N-methoxyamides via N-H, C-N, and C-H bond activation, and (4) isocoumarin synthesis using Ru(II)/PEG as a recyclable catalytic system via ortho-C-H activation and TBN as an oxygen source. The sequential functional group interconversion of amide to acid has also been examined using IR spectroscopic analysis. Additionally, this methodology is highly advantageous due to short reaction time, gram scale synthesis, and broad substrate scope.

- Efficient Method for Aromatic-Aldehyde Oxidation by Cleavage of Their Hydrazones Catalysed by Trimethylsilanolate
-
The reactions of hydrazones, derived from various aromatic aldehydes bound to Rink resin and hydrazines, with trimethylsilanolate have been studied. In this process, the aldehydes were oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acids. The reaction was also tested with success in solution, with various aromatic aldehydes easily being oxidized in one pot via hydrazone formation and trimethylsilanolate treatment. A mechanism for the hydrazone cleavage is proposed. The reaction may be used as an alternative method for aldehyde oxidation with the selectivity complementary to that of currently used reactions.

- Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of N,N-dimethylhydrazones promoted by selenium compounds, titanosilicalites or acetonitrile
-
Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of N,N-dimethylhydrazones 1 promoted by title reagents has been investigated. Depending on the substrate nitrile 2 and/or amide 3 accompanied with carboxylic acid 4 and parent carbonyl compounds 5 were obtained. Formation of nitriles 2 with H2O2-acetonitrile system is limited for a few more active substrates. The mechanism of the reaction, based on generated in situ peroxyiminoacetic acid, is presented. A broad spectrum of aliphatic, unsaturated and aromatic nitriles 2 was obtained by oxidation of corresponding N,N-dimethylhydrazones 1 with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of poly(bis-9,10-anthracenyl) diselenide (PADS) (7) as catalyst.
