- Sterically controlling 2-carboxylated imidazolium salts for one-step efficient hydration of epoxides into 1,2-diols
-
In order to overcome the disadvantages of excessive water and many byproducts in the conventional process of epoxide hydration into 1,2-diols, 2-carboxylated imidazolium salts were first adopted as efficient catalysts for one-step hydration of epoxides into 1,2-diols. By regulating the cation chain lengths, different steric structures of 2-carboxylated imidazolium salts with chain lengths from C1 to C4 were prepared. The salt with the shortest substituent chain (DMIC) exhibited better thermal stability and catalytic performance for hydration, achieving nearly 100% ethylene oxide (EO) conversion and 100% ethylene glycol (EG) selectivity at 120 °C, 0.5 h with just 5 times molar ratio of H2O to EO. Such a tendency is further confirmed and explained by both XPS analysis and DFT calculations. Compared with other salts with longer chains, DMIC has stronger interaction of CO2?anions and imidazolium cations, exhibiting a lower tendency to release CO2?and form HO-CO2?, which can nucleophilically attack and synergistically activate ring-opening of epoxides with imidazolium cations. The strong huge sterically dynamic structure ring-opening transition state slows down the side reaction, and both cations and anions stabilized the transition state imidazolium-EG-HO-CO2?, both of which could avoid excessive hydration into byproducts, explaining the high 1,2-diol yield. Based on this, the cation-anion synergistic mechanism is then proposed.

- Diol-Ritter Reaction: Regio- And Stereoselective Synthesis of Protected Vicinal Aminoalcohols and Mechanistic Aspects of Diol Monoester Disproportionation
-
The well-known epoxide-Ritter reaction generally affords oxazolines with poor to average regioselectivity. Herein, a mechanism-based study of the less known diol-Ritter reaction has provided a highly regioselective procedure for the synthesis of 1-vic-amido-2-esters from either terminal epoxides or 1,2-diols via Lewis acid-catalyzed monoesterification. When treated with a stoichiometric Lewis acid catalyst (BF3), these diol monoesters form dioxonium cation intermediates that are ring-opened with nitrile nucleophiles to form nitrilium intermediates, which undergo rapid and irreversible hydration to give the desired amidoesters. Diester byproduct formation is irreversible and appears to occur through disproportionation of diol monoester. With chiral epoxide starting materials, the formation of amidoester occurs with retention of configuration and no apparent erosion of optical purity as determined by single-crystal X-ray analyses and chiral chromatography, respectively. The direct access to chiral vic-amidoesters is especially practical with regard to the synthesis of antibacterial oxazolidinone analogues of the Zyvox antimicrobial family.

- Well-defined Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed Hydrogenation of Carbonates and Polycarbonates
-
We herein report the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonates and polycarbonates into their corresponding diols/alcohols using well-defined, air-stable, high-valent cobalt complexes. Several novel Cp*Co(III) complexes bearing N,O-chelation were isolated for the first time and structurally characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray crystallography. These novel Co(III) complexes have shown excellent catalytic activity to produce value added diols/alcohols from carbonate and polycarbonates through hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen as sole reductant or iPrOH as transfer hydrogenation source. To demonstrate the developed methodology's practical applicability, we have recycled the bisphenol A monomer from compact disc (CD) through hydrogenation under the established reaction conditions using phosphine-free, earth-abundant, air- and moisture-stable high-valent cobalt catalysts.

- An Amphiphilic (salen)Co Complex – Utilizing Hydrophobic Interactions to Enhance the Efficiency of a Cooperative Catalyst
-
An amphiphilic (salen)Co(III) complex is presented that accelerates the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epoxides almost 10 times faster than catalysts from commercially available sources. This was achieved by introducing hydrophobic chains that increase the rate of reaction in one of two ways – by enhancing cooperativity under homogeneous conditions, and increasing the interfacial area under biphasic reaction conditions. While numerous strategies have been employed to increase the efficiency of cooperative catalysts, the utilization of hydrophobic interactions is scarce. With the recent upsurge in green chemistry methods that conduct reactions ‘on water’ and at the oil-water interface, the introduction of hydrophobic interactions has potential to become a general strategy for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of cooperative catalytic systems. (Figure presented.).

- Understanding the mechanism of N coordination on framework Ti of Ti-BEA zeolite and its promoting effect on alkene epoxidation reaction
-
The function of ammonium salts on the epoxidation performance over Ti-BEA zeolite was investigated in detail. Experiments of alkene epoxidation, side reactions of epoxide and decomposition of H2O2 with or without ammonium salts were designed, and the UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed to analyze the structure of Ti-hydroperoxo species. It is revealed that the ammonia (or amines) dissociated from the ammonium salt would chelate with the linear Ti-η1(OOH) species and form a bridged Ti-η2(OOH)-R species, which is more stable, more weaker in epoxide adsorption and acidity as well. Therefore, side reactions and H2O2 decomposition would be suppressed, and both alkene conversion and epoxide selectivity would be promoted simultaneously. On the other hand, the excessive NH3?H2O (NH3/Ti>1) or NaOH bond with the Ti-η2(OOH)-R species and generate salt-like Ti-η2(OO)-M+ species, resulting in the deactivation of Ti active center. While for ammonium salts, e.g. NH4Cl, the limited dissociation degree along with the acidic environment help the Ti active center to maintain in highly active. In short, this work provides a practical Ti active center tuning method for Ti-BEA zeolite, as well as a thorough understanding of its Ti-hydroperoxo species.

- Chromium-Catalyzed Production of Diols From Olefins
-
Processes for converting an olefin reactant into a diol compound are disclosed, and these processes include the steps of contacting the olefin reactant and a supported chromium catalyst comprising chromium in a hexavalent oxidation state to reduce at least a portion of the supported chromium catalyst to form a reduced chromium catalyst, and hydrolyzing the reduced chromium catalyst to form a reaction product comprising the diol compound. While being contacted, the olefin reactant and the supported chromium catalyst can be irradiated with a light beam at a wavelength in the UV-visible spectrum. Optionally, these processes can further comprise a step of calcining at least a portion of the reduced chromium catalyst to regenerate the supported chromium catalyst.

- Diethylene Glycol/NaBr Catalyzed CO2 Insertion into Terminal Epoxides: From Batch to Continuous Flow
-
CO2 insertion reactions on terminal epoxides (styrene oxide, 1,2-epoxyhexane and butyl glycidyl ether) were performed in a binary homogeneous mixture comprising NaBr as the nucleophilic catalyst and diethylene glycol (DEG) as both solvent and catalyst activator (cation coordinating agent). The reaction protocol was initially studied under batch conditions either in autoclaves and glass reactors: quantitative formation of the cyclic organic carbonate products (COCs) were achieved at T=100 °C and p0(CO2)=1–40 bar. The process was then transferred to continuous-flow (CF) mode. The effects of the reaction parameters (T, p(CO2), catalyst loading, and flow rates) were studied using microfluidic reactors of capacities variable from 7.85 ? 10?2 to 0.157 cm3. Albeit the CF reaction took place at T=220 °C and 120 bar, CF improved the productivity and allowed catalyst recycle through a semi-continuous extraction procedure. For the model case of 1,2-epoxyhexane, the (non-optimized) rate of formation of the corresponding carbonate, 4-butyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, was increased up to 27.6 mmol h?1 equiv.?1, a value 2.5 higher than in the batch mode. Moreover, the NaBr/DEG mixture was reusable without loss of performance for at least 4 subsequent CF-tests.

- A Heterogeneous Pt-ReOx/C Catalyst for Making Renewable Adipates in One Step from Sugar Acids
-
Renewable adipic acid is a value-added chemical for the production of bioderived nylon. Here, the one-step conversion of mucic acid to adipates was achieved in high yield through deoxydehydration (DODH) and catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) by a bifunctional Pt-ReOx/C heterogeneous catalyst with isopropanol as solvent and reductant. The Pt-ReOx/C catalyst is reusable and was regenerated at least five times. The catalyst exhibits a broad substrate scope of various diols. Spectroscopic studies of Pt-ReOx/C revealed ReVII and Pt0 as the relevant species for DODH and CTH, respectively. Isotope labeling experiments support a monohydride mechanism for CTH over Pt. This work demonstrates a reusable bifunctional catalyst for a one-step valorization of sugar acids to a practical monomer, which opens the door to multifunctional catalysis streamlining valorization of biomass-derived molecules.

- Dendrimer crown-ether tethered multi-wall carbon nanotubes support methyltrioxorhenium in the selective oxidation of olefins to epoxides
-
Benzo-15-crown-5 ether supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by tethered poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers efficiently coordinated methyltrioxorhenium in the selective oxidation of olefins to epoxides. Environmentally friendly hydrogen peroxide was used as a primary oxidant. Up to first and second generation dendrimer aggregates were prepared by applying a divergent PAMAM methodology. FT-IR, XRD and ICP-MS analyses confirmed the effective coordination of methyltrioxorhenium by the benzo-15-crown-5 ether moiety after immobilization on MWCNTs. The novel catalysts converted olefins to the corresponding epoxides in high yield without the use of Lewis base additives, or anhydrous hydrogen peroxide, the catalyst being stable for more than six oxidative runs. In the absence of the PAMAM structure, the synthesis of diols largely prevailed.

- The charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded organic framework (CAHOF) self-assembled from the conjugated acid of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane and 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonate as a new class of recyclable Br?nsted acid catalysts
-
The acid–base neutralization reaction of commercially available disodium 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonate (NDS, 2 equivalents) and the tetrahydrochloride salt of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TAPM, 1 equivalent) in water gave a novel three-dimensional charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded framework (CAHOF, F-1). The framework F-1 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, TGA, elemental analysis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The framework was supported by hydrogen bonds between the sulfonate anions and the ammonium cations of NDS and protonated TAPM moieties, respectively. The CAHOF material functioned as a new type of catalytically active Br?nsted acid in a series of reactions, including the ring opening of epoxides by water and alcohols. A Diels–Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methyl vinyl ketone was also catalyzed by F-1 in heptane. Depending on the polarity of the solvent mixture, the CAHOF F-1 could function as a purely heterogeneous catalyst or partly dissociate, providing some dissolved F-1 as the real catalyst. In all cases, the catalyst could easily be recovered and recycled.

- The formyloxyl radical: Electrophilicity, C-H bond activation and anti-Markovnikov selectivity in the oxidation of aliphatic alkenes
-
In the past the formyloxyl radical, HC(O)O, had only been rarely experimentally observed, and those studies were theoretical-spectroscopic in the context of electronic structure. The absence of a convenient method for the preparation of the formyloxyl radical has precluded investigations into its reactivity towards organic substrates. Very recently, we discovered that HC(O)O is formed in the anodic electrochemical oxidation of formic acid/lithium formate. Using a [CoIIIW12O40]5- polyanion catalyst, this led to the formation of phenyl formate from benzene. Here, we present our studies into the reactivity of electrochemically in situ generated HC(O)O with organic substrates. Reactions with benzene and a selection of substituted derivatives showed that HC(O)O is mildly electrophilic according to both experimentally and computationally derived Hammett linear free energy relationships. The reactions of HC(O)O with terminal alkenes significantly favor anti-Markovnikov oxidations yielding the corresponding aldehyde as the major product as well as further oxidation products. Analysis of plausible reaction pathways using 1-hexene as a representative substrate favored the likelihood of hydrogen abstraction from the allylic C-H bond forming a hexallyl radical followed by strongly preferred further attack of a second HC(O)O radical at the C1 position. Further oxidation products are surmised to be mostly a result of two consecutive addition reactions of HC(O)O to the CC double bond. An outer-sphere electron transfer between the formyloxyl radical donor and the [CoIIIW12O40]5- polyanion acceptor forming a donor-acceptor [D+-A-] complex is proposed to induce the observed anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Finally, the overall reactivity of HC(O)O towards hydrogen abstraction was evaluated using additional substrates. Alkanes were only slightly reactive, while the reactions of alkylarenes showed that aromatic substitution on the ring competes with C-H bond activation at the benzylic position. C-H bonds with bond dissociation energies (BDE) ≤ 85 kcal mol-1 are easily attacked by HC(O)O and reactivity appears to be significant for C-H bonds with a BDE of up to 90 kcal mol-1. In summary, this research identifies the reactivity of HC(O)O towards radical electrophilic substitution of arenes, anti-Markovnikov type oxidation of terminal alkenes, and indirectly defines the activity of HC(O)O towards C-H bond activation.

- Hydrogenolysis of Glucose into Propylene Glycol over Pt/SiO2@Mg(OH)2 Catalyst
-
One-pot selective conversion of glucose is a green approach compared with petroleum-based processes to produce 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2-PG), but its realization is hindered by various side reactions. Here we demonstrate a feasible strategy of Pt/SiO2@Mg(OH)2 core-shell catalyst to achieve the 1,2-PG yield of 53.8 % by a three-pronged promotion, including enhancement of the glucose-fructose isomerization and retro-aldol condensation (RAC), as well as re-conversion of by-product hexitol into 1,2-PG. We realized the in situ synthesis of the core-shell structure using a self-existent Mg(OH)2 base instead of an extraneous base in the hydrothermal process and it achieved a stable performance during reuse by protecting Pt from leaching.

- Topotactic Conversion of Alkali-Treated Intergrown Germanosilicate CIT-13 into Single-Crystalline ECNU-21 Zeolite as Shape-Selective Catalyst for Ethylene Oxide Hydration
-
The conversion of the alkali-treated intergrowth germanosilicate CIT-13 into the single-crystalline high-silica ECNU-21 (named after East China Normal University) zeolite, with a novel topology and a highly crystalline zeolite framework, has been realized through a creative top-down strategy involving a mild alkaline-induced multistep process consisting of structural degradation and reconstruction. Instead of acid treatment, hydrolysis in aqueous ammonia solution not only readily cleaved the chemically weak Ge(Si)?O?Ge bonds located within the interlayer double four ring (D4R) units of CIT-13, but also cleaved the metastable Si?O?Si bonds therein. This led to extensive removal of the D4R units, and also generated silanol groups on adjacent silica-rich layers, which then condensed to form a novel daughter structure upon calcination. Individual oxygen bridges in the reassembled ECNU-21 replaced the germanium-rich D4R units in CIT-13, thereby eliminating the original intergrowth phenomenon along the b axis. With an ordered crystalline structure of 10-ring (R) channels as well as suitable germanium-related Lewis acid sites, ECNU-21 serves as a stable solid Lewis acid catalyst for the shape-selective hydration of ethylene oxide (EO) to ethylene glycol (EG) at greatly reduced H2O/EO ratios and reaction temperature in comparison with the noncatalytic industrial process.

The advantage of this method is the use of isopropanol as the hydrogen source, thus avoiding the handling of flammable hydrogen under high pressure. The reaction offers an indirect route for the reduction of CO2 to methanol. In addition, poly(propylene carbonate) was converted to methanol and propylene glycol. This methodology can be considered as an attractive opportunity for the chemical recycling of polycarbonates.

-
Efficient heterogeneous gel catalysts have been developed based on dynamic covalent chemistry and post-modification methods for the chemical fixation of CO2. Various porphyrin-based imine gels are synthesized and subsequent reduction of imine bonds and metallation with various metal centers yields gel catalysts. The gels are characterized by a number of techniques including SEM, TEM, EDX, FT-IR, CP/MAS 13C NMR, and XPS. The resulting gels not only have network structures including micro-, meso- and macropores, but also show improved chemical stability and strong interactions between CO2 and pore channels. The gel catalysts show good catalytic activity towards the cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2 to cyclic carbonates using wet gels. Post-modified gel catalysts with a Zn(ii) center (ZnTAPP-Go-r) show a high product yield and high stability with recyclability over 5 cycles.

Aluminum-free magnesium silicalite with MTW topology (Mg-Si-ZSM-12) was fabricated via a straightforward hydrothermal synthesis route involving an initial acid co-hydrolysis step. Mg incorporation endowed superior basic properties to the MTW framework, as illustrated by CO2 sorption and temperature programmed desorption plus the activity in a typical basic reaction, Knoevenagel condensation. Mg-Si-ZSM-12 catalyzed the coupling of atmospheric CO2 with epoxides and led to the efficient production of cyclic carbonates with high yield and selectivity at relatively low temperature (down to 60 °C). The present strategy afforded a zeolitic solid base with regular 12-membered ring microporous channels that has potential application in CO2 fixation.

- Enhanced solvent-free selective oxidation of cyclohexene to 1,2-cyclohexanediol by polyaniline@halloysite nanotubes
-
One-dimensional polyaniline@halloysite (PANI@HA) nanotubes with enhanced selective oxidation activity of cyclohexene are fabricated by employing aniline (ANI) chemical polymerization on halloysite nanotubes in situ. By facilely controlling the doping acid, acidity, and ANI/HA weight ratio during the fabrication, PANI with a controllable doping degree, redox state, and content is grown on halloysite nanotubes. The cyclohexene selective oxidation result shows that PANI@HA nanotubes are effective catalysts in a solvent-free reaction system with H2O2 as the oxidant, and their catalytic activity relies on the doping acid, acidity, and ANI/HA weight ratio in the fabrication. PANI@HA synthesized with HCl as a doping acid to condition the acidity at 1 M and 2.04 ANI/HA weight ratio (PANI@HA/1 M/2.04-HCl) demonstrates highest catalytic activity (98.17% conversion and 99.50% selectivity to 1,2-cyclohexanediol). The cyclohexene selective catalytic activity matches well with the PANI doping degree in PANI@HA. In addition, the optimal reaction condition is 20 mg catalyst, 2.5 mL H2O2, 70 °C, and 24 h. Furthermore, PANI@HA/1 M/2.04-HCl exhibits superior dihydroxylation activity toward 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene and cycling performance with 99.11% conversion and 96.92% selectivity to 1,2-cyclohexanediol after five cycles. The CV of PANI@HA indicates that the cyclohexene selective oxidation is attributed to a reversible redox reaction of PANI in PANI@HA for catalytic decomposition of H2O2.

- Cooperative Activation of Cobalt–Salen Complexes for Epoxide Hydration Promoted on Flexible Porous Organic Frameworks
-
Developing solid catalysts with multiple active sites working cooperatively is desirable for efficient chemical transformations. However, most solid catalysts are rigid and impede the cooperation between their spatially isolated active sites. Two flexible porous organic frameworks (POFs) with integrated Co(salen) as active sites have been successfully synthesized for mimicking the cooperative modes of enzymes. The POFs exhibit second-order rate dependence on Co(salen) concentration in the network and afford much higher TOF (3300 versus 2670 h?1) than the homogeneous counterpart in the hydration of propylene epoxide. POFs with a flexible network thus not only facilitate but also enhance the cooperation of nearby Co(salen). Moreover, POFs could catalyze oversized substrates, have a wide substrate scope, and exhibit high stability.

- Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Oxazolidinones Mediated by Quaternary Ammonium Salts and DBU
-
A straightforward method to construct oxazolidinones through a three-component reaction involving CO2, epoxides, and amines promoted by a combination of Bu4NI and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene was developed. A wide range of aromatic and aliphatic amines and monosubstituted epoxides were converted into 3,5-disubstituted-2-oxazolidines in up to 95 % yield. This metal-free and easily available catalytic system was applicable to a broad range of substrates, including conventionally challenging ones such as aliphatic epoxides, at atmospheric pressure. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested a reaction pathway involving β-amino alcohols.

- Metal nanoparticles supported on WO3 nanosheets for highly selective hydrogenolysis of cellulose to ethylene glycol
-
Although the conversion of cellulose to polyols is currently well-developed, the production of the considerably valuable ethylene glycol (EG) is still challenging. Reactions have long relied on the design of suitable catalysts to obtain a high selectivity and yield of EG. Herein, using well-shaped rectangular tungsten trioxide nanosheets as the substrate, we investigated the catalytic performances of various metal supported catalysts for the convertion of cellulose to EG. Results show that Ru/WO3 is more favorable for EG production, with the highest EG yield of 76.3% over the 1% Ru/WO3 nanosheet catalyst. Our characterizations and activity tests suggest that the embedding of Ru nanoparticles onto the WO3 nanosheets produces more W5+ active sites under the same reduction conditions (NaBH4 or H2), which act as Lewis base sites to promote the glucose retro-aldol condensation reaction. Moreover, the Ru/WO3 catalyst holds a portion of Ru in the form of amorphous RuOxδ+ phases, which could further increase the H+ released into an aqueous solution for cellulose hydrogenolysis. A possible catalytic mechanism for this hydrogenolysis process is accordingly proposed.

A series of bulky pyridine-bridged NHC–Ru complexes have been rationally designed and synthesized; these exhibited very high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of cyclic and linear carbonates under mild reaction conditions. In the presence of catalytic amounts of a weak base, a broad range of substrates with different ring size and steric bulk were well tolerated, providing methanol and the corresponding diols in excellent yields with a catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol %.

- Direct conversion of carbohydrates to diol by the combination of niobic acid and a hydrophobic ruthenium catalyst
-
Tetrahydro-2,5-furandimethanol (THFDM) was obtained directly from a wide variety of carbohydrates by the combination of niobic acid and a hydrophobic ruthenium catalyst. Fructose, glucose, and polysaccharides consisting of fructose or glucose could be converted to THFDM in one-step. The selectivity to THFDM was kept around 60% while the glucose conversion varied from 9% to 49%. The as-synthesized niobic acid was characterized by TEM, N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, NH3-TPD and FT-IR spectra of adsorpted pyridine. The niobic acid was proved to have medium and strong acid sites with a high Br?nsted/Lewis ratio, which played a great role for keeping high THFDM selectivity using glucose as a substrate.

- Asymmetric Hydrolytic and Aminolytic Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Epoxides using Recyclable Macrocyclic Chiral Cobalt(III) Salen Complexes
-
New chiral macrocyclic cobalt(III) salen complexes were synthesized and used as catalyst for the asymmetric kinetic resolution (AKR) of terminal epoxides and glycidyl ethers with aromatic/aliphatic amines and water as nucleophiles. This is the first occasion where a Co(III) salen complex demonstrated its ability to catalyze AKR as well as hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) reactions. Excellent enantiomeric excesses of the epoxides, the corresponding amino alcohols and diols (upto 99%) with quantitative yields were achieved by using the chiral Co(III) salen complexes in dichloromethane at room temperature. This protocol was further extended for the synthesis of two important drug molecules, i.e., (S)-propranolol and (R)-naftopidil. The catalytic system was also explored for the synthesis of chirally pure diols and chiral cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide as a greener renewable C1 source. The catalyst was recycled for upto 5 catalytic cycles with retention of enantioselectivity. (Figure presented.).

- Cp2TiCl2-catalyzed cycloboration of α-olefins with PhBCl2in the synthesis of 2-alkyl(aryl,benzyl)-1-phenylboriranes
-
A one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-alkyl(aryl, benzyl)-1-phenylboriranes has been developed via the reaction of α-olefins with PhBCl2in the presence of Cp2TiCl2as the catalyst. The method implies the formation of boriranes as the result of transmetalation of titanacyclopropane intermediates generated in the reaction of α-olefins with Cp2TiCl2. Individual 1-phenyl-2-substituted boriranes were isolated and their structures confirmed by NMR spectral methods.

- Influence of the functional groups of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on performance of Ru catalysts in sorbitol hydrogenolysis to glycols
-
Different functional groups (i.e. [sbnd]NH2, [sbnd]COOH, [sbnd]OH and nitrogen-doping) modified CNTs (denoted as AMCN, CMCN, HMCN and NMCN, respectively) supported ruthenium catalysts (Ru/AMCN, Ru/CMCN, Ru/HMCN and Ru/NMCN) were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. They were fully characterized by XRD, TG, Raman, XPS, TPD and TEM to elucidate the relationship between the physical property and their catalytic performance. TEM results shown that Ru particles were well dispersed on the surface for all the samples with the size of 1.48–1.99 nm. The effects of functional groups of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nitrogen doping and base additive types on activity and selectivity of ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene glycol (1,2-PD) were investigated. In addition, the activity and final products distribution were much influenced by the properties of functional groups on CNTs and the type of metal cation of the base promoters, which probably participated in the reaction for accelerating a retro-aldol reaction for C[sbnd]C cleavage. Among the catalysts, Ru supported on AMCN exhibited the best catalytic activities and glycols selectivities than on MCN, CMCN, HMCN and NMCN.

- Selective oxidation of olefins with aqueous hydrogen peroxide over phosphomolybdic acid functionalized knitting aryl network polymer
-
A phosphomolybdic acid (PMA)-based heterogeneous catalyst, denoted as PMA/KAP, was prepared by immobilizing PMA onto a knitting aryl network polymer (KAP) based on triphenylphosphine (PPh3). The catalytic property of PMA/KAP was investigated for the selective oxidation of olefins with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant. When using ethyl acetate (EAC) as reaction medium, PMA/KAP performs higher activity and selectivity to epoxide for a variety of olefins, and it can be reused for several times without obvious loss of activity. When the reaction was carried out in acetonitrile (AN) medium, deactivation of PMA/KAP catalyst can be observed immediately. A variety of characterization results suggest that the degradation of PMA unit to (PO4[MoO(O2)2]4)3- occurs easily when the PMA/KAP catalyst is operated in H2O2/AN system, while such degradation behavior could be significantly inhibited when the catalyst is used in the system of H2O2/EAC. We proposed that the neighbouring P-containing ligands dispersed in the framework of KAP can produce a steric pocket with low electron density, which can promote the formation of multi-weak coordination interaction between PMA unit and several P ligands. Such multi-weak interaction can inhibit the degradation of PMA to (PO4[MoO(O2)2]4)3-, thus avoiding the leaching of active species from the KAP support, and resulting in the formation of relatively stable heterogeneous PMA supported catalyst for olefin epoxidation with H2O2 in the media of EAC.

- Cation-exchange resin towards low-cost synthesis of high-performance TS-1 zeolites in the presence of alkali-metal ions
-
Zeolite TS-1 is an important commercial catalyst for green production of oxyfunctionalized chemicals such as alcohols, ketones, epoxides, and oximes. However, the extremely high price greatly restricts its wide applications. In this paper, we developed a new route to synthesize highly active TS-1 zeolites by using low-cost tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a starting reagent that contains alkali-metal cations such as Na+ and K+ and is much cheaper than the high-purity TPAOH currently used in reported routes. The key point is the introduction of a cation-exchange resin into the synthetic system to capture the alkali-metal cations via ion exchange between the alkali-metal cations in the synthetic medium and protons in the resin, as well as adjusting the pH value of the TS-1 synthetic system. The present development shows great commercial potential and opens the possibility of preparing cheap TS-1 catalysts by using commercial TPAOH raw materials.

- Epoxides hydration on CoIII(salen)-OTs encapsulated in silica nanocages modified with prehydrolyzed TMOS
-
The silylation for reducing the pore entrance size is crucial for the success encapsulation of molecular catalysts. Herein, we reported the preparation of an efficient solid catalyst for epoxide hydration via encapsulation of CoIII(salen)-OTs in the nanocages of FDU-12 using prehydrolyzed tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) as silylation reagent under mild condition. CoIII(salen)-OTs in nanocages could afford TOF of 2760 h-1 in the hydration of propylene epoxide (PO), which is the highest ever reported at low PO/H2O molar ratio. Comparison of the activity of CoIII(salen)-OTs accommodated in nanocages with different microenvironments suggests that CoIII(salen)-OTs in hydrophilic microenvironment was more active than that in hydrophobic microenvironment in the hydration of propylene epoxide. Moreover, studies show that the deactivation rate of CoIII(salen)-OAc is lower than that of CoIII(salen)-OTs in nanocages due to the confinement effect of the nanoreactor.

- Enhancement of Catalytic Activity in Epoxide Hydration by Increasing the Concentration of Cobalt(III)/Salen in Porous Polymer Catalysts
-
The rational design of catalytic materials from the reaction characteristics is expected to be a useful strategy to create highly efficient catalysts. Herein, according to a well-established reaction pathway of epoxide hydration catalyzed a dual-molecular system of Co3+/salen in which a high concentration of active sites is favorable to enhance the activity, we provide an alternative way to prepare a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst with a high concentration of Co3+/salen from the polymerization of vinyl-functionalized salen monomers followed by the loading of Co3+ species (Co3+/POL-salen). Co3+/POL-salen has a hierarchical porosity and an extraordinary hydrothermal stability. Importantly, catalytic tests in epoxide hydration demonstrate that Co3+/POL-salen affords excellent high activities, which are even better than those of the homogeneous version. This phenomenon is related to the very high concentration of Co3+/salen in the catalyst. In addition, this catalyst can be recycled readily because of its excellent hydrothermal stability.

Silicalite-1/titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) composites were synthesized by growing silicalite-1 on the surface of TS-1. Oxidation of 1-hexene was studied using both the silicalite-1/TS-1 composite and uncoated TS-1. The silicalite-1/TS-1 composite showed a higher selectivity toward 1,2-epoxyhexane than uncoated TS-1 because sequential reactions on the external surface of TS-1 were inhibited. The catalytic activity of the silicalite-1/TS-1 composite was almost the same as that of TS-1, suggesting that the silicalite-1 layer is very thin and that the diffusion resistance is negligibly small.

- Hydrophobicity enhancement of Ti-MWW catalyst and its improvement in oxidation activity
-
The effect of the preparation conditions of the Ti-MWW catalyst on the hydrophobicity of the catalyst and its catalytic activity was investigated. Our findings demonstrated that the condensation of interlayer hydroxyl groups was greatly affected by the preparation conditions, in particular washing conditions of the as-synthesized lamellar precursor of Ti-MWW, then further controlling the final hydrophobicity and oxidation properties. Using organic solvents, especially EAOH, instead of water to wash the wet lamellar precursor would synchronize the interlayer hydroxyl condensation with the decrease of interlayer distance mainly caused by the leaching of piperidine, which was used as structure-directing agent (SDA). After acid-treatment, less SDA was kept in the EAOH washed sample and 3D-MWW with less defects was formed by calcination. Both drying temperature and acid-treatment would also affect the amount of SDA occluded in the interlayer void space of the acid-treated samples and then further affect the final interlayer hydroxyl condensation upon the following calcination. The lower both drying temperature and acid-treatment temperature were favorite to unequal interlayer dehydroxylation to form MCM-56, while higher drying temperature such as 150 C not only caused the anatase phase in the calcined samples but also occluded more SDA molecules in the acid-treated samples which greatly affect the further interlayer hydroxyl condensation upon the calcination. Ti-MWW-OH-100 containing smallest amount of silanols and less defect sites showed the best hydrophobicity and the highest catalytic activity in 1-hexene oxidation.

- Temperature-dependent immobilization of a tungsten peroxo complex that catalyzes the hydroxymethoxylation of olefins
-
Abstract A tungsten peroxo complex stabilized by the bidentate picolinato ligand has been synthesized and then immobilized successfully on imidazole-functionalized silica. The immobilized tungsten-based catalyst was employed as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of β-alkoxy alcohols from olefins and methanol with H2O2. Regarding the catalyst evaluation and the results of characterization by the various methods, it was demonstrated that the immobilization of tungsten peroxo complex was highly temperature-dependent. The tungsten peroxo complex can dissociate and diffuse into the liquid phase at reaction temperature, resulting in a homogeneous reaction. Nevertheless, the catalytically active species was anchored on the imidazole-functionalized silica by hydrogen bonding as the temperature was lowered to 0°C after the reaction, which thus offered a highly effective approach for recycling the catalyst for consecutive cycles. In addition, various olefins can be converted to the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols with good conversion and selectivity under relative mild conditions by H2O2. Running hot and cold: A tungsten peroxo complex (see picture) can dissociate and diffuse into the liquid phase at the reaction temperature, resulting in a homogeneous reaction. After reaction, the catalytically active species was anchored on the functionalized silica by hydrogen-bonding as the temperature was lowered to 0°C. This offers an effective approach for catalyst recovery and recycling.
