- A new porous Co(ii)-metal-organic framework for high sorption selectivity and affinity to CO2and efficient catalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes
-
Herein, we report a new 3D porous Co(ii)-based metal-organic framework catalyst (Me2NH2)2[Co3(L)2(H2O)2]·2DMF (MOF I), which has been successfully prepared by using Co(ii) ions and rigid V-shaped 3,5-di(2,4-dicarboxylphenyl)pyridine (H4L) via the solvothermal reaction. Structural analysis reveals that I displays a porous structure with the pore size of 16.2 × 7.2 ?2 based on the trinuclear [Co3(COO)4(H2O)2N2] secondary building units (SBUs). Gas sorption experiments on the guest free sample I′ reveals a high capacity and selectivity to CO2 over CH4. And further, the catalytic explorations of the I′-catalyzed system (I′: 3 mol%; proline: 40 mol%; CH3CN: 2 mL) reveal that benzyl alcohols with different structures can be efficiently transformed into benzyl alcohols without by-products under mild conditions.

- Homogeneous CuCl2/TMEDA/TEMPO-Catalyzed chemoselective base- and halogen- free aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols in mild conditions
-
This article describes the developing of a base- and halogen- free homogeneous system aiming to chemoselectively oxidize allyl, furyl, aryl and heteroaryl primary alcohols. The current easy-to-handle aerobic system uses few amounts of CuCl2/TMEDA/TEMPO system under mild reaction conditions to produce aldehydes in high yields. Moreover, the CuCl2/TMEDA cyclic voltammetry was measured for the first time, disclosing that TMEDA as ligand substantially affects the redox potential (E1/2) of the couple E1/2Cu2+/Cu+ to E1/2Cu2+/Cu+-TMEDA by 454 mV in the redox system.

- 4CzIPN catalyzed photochemical oxidation of benzylic alcohols
-
A green photoredox oxidation of benzylic primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones with air as an oxidant was reported. The oxidation shows broad substrate scope and excellent selectivity over benzylic alcohols to the aliphatic alcohols. Further mechanistic studies revealed a quinuclidine mediated HAT process, and blue LEDs promoted 4CzlPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene) photoredox cycle were involved in our oxidation.

- A Magnetically Recyclable Palladium-Catalyzed Formylation of Aryl Iodides with Formic Acid as CO Source: A Practical Access to Aromatic Aldehydes
-
A magnetically recyclable palladium-catalyzed formylation of aryl iodides under CO gas-free conditions has been developed by using a bidentate phosphine ligand-modified magnetic nanoparticles-anchored- palladium(II) complex [2P-Fe 3O 4@SiO 2-Pd(OAc) 2] as catalyst, yielding a wide variety of aromatic aldehydes in moderate to excellent yields. Here, formic acid was employed as both the CO source and the hydrogen donor with iodine and PPh 3as the activators. This immobilized palladium catalyst can be obtained via a simple preparative procedure and can be facilely recovered simply by using an external magnetic field, and reused at least 9 times without any apparent loss of catalytic activity.

- One-Pot Direct Oxidation of Primary Amines to Carboxylic Acids through Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed and TBHP-Promoted Oxidation Sequence
-
Biomimetic oxidation of primary amines to carboxylic acids has been developed where the copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO)-like o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation was combined with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like TBHP-mediated imine oxidation protocol. Notably, the current tandem oxidation strategy provides a new mechanistic insight into the imine intermediate and the seemingly simple TBHP-mediated oxidation pathways of imines. The developed metal-free amine oxidation protocol allows the use of molecular oxygen and TBHP, safe forms of oxidant that may appeal to the industrial application.

- Radical induced disproportionation of alcohols assisted by iodide under acidic conditions
-
The disproportionation of alcohols without an additional reductant and oxidant to simultaneously form alkanes and aldehydes/ketones represents an atom-economical transformation. However, only limited methodologies have been reported, and they suffer from a narrow substrate scope or harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we report that alcohol disproportionation can proceed with high efficiency catalyzed by iodide under acidic conditions. This method exhibits high functional group tolerance including aryl alcohol derivatives with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, furan ring alcohol derivatives, allyl alcohol derivatives, and dihydric alcohols. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a 49% yield of 5-methyl furfural and a 49% yield of 2,5-diformylfuran were obtained simultaneously from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. An initial mechanistic study suggested that the hydrogen transfer during this redox disproportionation occurred through the inter-transformation of HI and I2. Radical intermediates were involved during this reaction.

- Selective oxidation of alcohols by porphyrin-based porous polymer-supported manganese heterogeneous catalysts
-
A series of porphyrin-based porous polymers to support Mn heterogeneous catalysts (Mn/TFP-DPM, Mn/TFP-DPM-2, Mn/TFP-DPM-3, and Mn/TFP-DPM-4) in the selective oxidation of alcohols were designed. TFP-DPM and TFP-DPM-2 demonstrated micro/nanoscale spherical morphology, whereas TFP-DPM-3 and TFP-DPM-4 exhibited nanosheets structure. According to surface area and porosity analysis results, the specific surface areas of these catalysts were less than 300 m2 g–1. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the synthesized catalysts maintain their stability even at 300 °C. Catalysts Mn/TFP-DPM and Mn/TFP-DPM-3, which had the smallest and largest specific surface area among the four catalysts, respectively, were used to perform selective oxidation reaction of alcohols, with experimental results indicating that both have excellent catalytic performance. As these catalysts possess good catalytic performance despite their low specific surface area, we suggest that porphyrin-based porous polymer-supported Mn heterogeneous catalysts are promising materials for selective oxidation of alcohols.

- Mechanistic insight into concerted proton-electron transfer of a Ru(IV)-oxo complex: A possible oxidative asynchronicity
-
We have thoroughly investigated the oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) derivatives by a RuIV(O) complex (RuIV(O)) in the absence or presence of Br?nsted acids in order to elucidate the proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) mechanisms in C-H oxidation on the basis of a kinetic analysis. Oxidation of BA derivatives by RuIV(O) without acids proceeded through concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) with a large kinetic isotope effect (KIE). In contrast, the oxidation of 3,4,5-trimethoxy- BA ((MeO)3-BA) by RuIV(O) was accelerated by the addition of acids, in which the KIE value reached 1.1 with TFA (550 mM), indicating an alteration of the PCET mechanism from CPET to stepwise electron transfer (ET) followed by proton transfer (PT). Although the oxidized products of BA derivatives were confirmed to be the corresponding benzaldehydes in the range of acid concentrations (0-550 mM), a one-electron-reduction potential of RuIV(O) was positively shifted with increases in the concentrations of acids. The elevated reduction potential of RuIV(O) strongly influenced the PCET mechanisms in the oxidation of (MeO)3-BA, changing the mechanism from CPET to ET/PT, as evidenced by the driving-force dependence of logarithms of reaction rate constants in light of the Marcus theory of ET. In addition, dependence of activation parameters on acid concentrations suggested that an oxidative asynchronous CPET, which is not an admixture of the CPET and ET/PT mechanisms, is probably operative in the boundary region (0 mM [TFA] 50 mM) involving a one-protoninteracted RuIV(O) H+ as a dominant reactive species.

- Utilizing a copper-free Sonogashira reaction in the synthesis of the leukotriene a4 hydrolase modulator batatasin IV
-
Batatasin IV is a dihydrostilbenoid isolated from Chinese yams which was shown to have inhibitory activities against plant growth. Later studies showed that this compound may exhibit anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the epoxide hydrolase activity of the leukotriene A4 hydrolase enzyme. To access the dihydrostilbenoid skeleton, a copper-free SPhos-mediated Sonogashira reaction was conceived and the substrate scope was explored. Our results indicate that the reaction can tolerate the presence of free alcohols, aldehydes, nitro groups, and anilinyl groups. However, a substituent with an acidic phenol or carboxylic acid group gave significantly lower yields. Next, a total synthesis of batatasin IV was accomplished in 16% overall yield incorporating the reported copper-free Sonogashira reaction. Finally, we show that batatasin IV inhibits the hydrolysis of alanine p-nitroanilide by leukotriene A4 hydrolase with an IC50 of 91.4 μM.

- Photochemical α-cleavage reaction of 3’,5’-dimethoxybenzoin: A combined time-resolved spectroscopy and computational chemistry study
-
Benzoin is one of the most commonly used photoinitiators to induce free radical polymerization. Here, improved benzoin properties could be accomplished by the introduction of two methoxy substituents, leading to the formation of 3’,5’-dimethoxybenzoin (DMB) which has a higher photo-cleavage quantum yield (0.54) than benzoin (0.35). To elucidate the underlying reaction mechanisms of DMB and obtain direct information of the transient species involved, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and nanosecond transient absorption (ns-TA) spectroscopic experiments in conjunction with density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TD-DFT) calculations were performed. It was found that the photo-induced α-cleavage (Norrish Type I reaction) of DMB occurred from the nπ* triplet state after a rapid intersystem crossing (ISC) process (7.6 ps), leading to the generation of phenyl radicals on the picosecond time scale. Compared with Benzoin, DMB possesses two methoxy groups which are able to stabilize the alcohol radical and thus result in a stronger driving force for cleavage and a higher quantum yield of photodissociation. Two stable conformations (cis-DMB and trans-DMB) at ground state were found via DFT calculations. The influence of the intramolecular hydrogen bond on the α-cleavage of DMB was elaborated.

- A Simple, Mild and General Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes or Ketones by SO2F2/K2CO3 Using DMSO as Solvent and Oxidant
-
A practical, general and mild oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds proceeds in yields of up to 99% using SO2F2 as electrophile in DMSO as both the oxidant and the solvent at ambient temperature. No moisture- and oxygen-free conditions are required. Stoichiometric amount of inexpensive K2CO3, which generates easy to separate by-products, is used as the base. Thus, 5-gram scale runs proceeded in nearly quantitative yields by a simple filtration as the work-up. The use of a polar solvent such as DMSO, which usually promotes competing Pummerer rearrangement, is also noteworthy. This protocol is compatible with a variety of common N-, O-, and S-functional groups on (hetero)arene, alkene and alkyne substrates (68 examples). The protocol was applied (99% yield) to a formal synthesis of the important cholesterol-lowering drug Rosuvastatin. (Figure presented.).

- Ruthenium(ii)-catalyzed electrooxidative [4+2] annulation of benzylic alcohols with internal alkynes: Entry to isocoumarins

A new ruthenium(ii)-catalyzed electrooxidative [4+2] annulation of primary benzylic alcohols with internal alkynes is described, which enables benzylic alcohols as weakly directing group precursors to access isocoumarins via multiple C-H functionalization. The reaction works well with a broad substrate scope, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and incorporates practically the isocoumarin unit into diverse bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies indicate that activation of aryl C(sp2)-H bonds is achieved through the generation of the active benzoyloxy-Ru(ii) intermediates via oxidation of benzylic alcohols using an electrooxidative Ru(ii) catalyst.

- Effect of Substituents on Partial Photocatalytic Oxidation of Aromatic Alcohols Assisted by Polymeric C3N4
-
In the present work we scrutinize the effect of substituents in the phenyl ring of the benzyl alcohol on its photo-oxidation to the corresponding benzaldehyde driven by polymeric carbon nitride photocatalyst in aqueous medium. It has been established that electron donating (ED) substituents in para- and ortho-position with respect to the CH2OH-group promote the reactivity of the substrate without compromising the selectivity towards benzaldehyde formation, maintaining it in the range of 84–98 %, if compared to the unsubstituted molecule. The same observation is true for meta-substituted benzyl alcohol with an electron withdrawing (EW) group. On the other hand, the presence of ED-group in meta-position or EW-group in para-position with respect to the CH2OH-group reduces the reactivity as well as the selectivity towards the aldehyde production, resulting in the values of selectivity ranging from 40 to 80 %. Quantum chemical calculations have allowed to establish that the reactivity correlates with the positive charge on the benzylic carbon in benzyl alcohol cation intermediate, while the selectivity, most probably, is conditioned by a negative charge on the carbon atoms in the phenyl ring being a target for an electrophile attack. The modification of the polymeric C3N4 photocatalyst with H2O2 reduces the unselective benzyl alcohol oxidation, thus favouring the higher selectivity towards benzaldehyde production.

- On/Off O2 Switchable Photocatalytic Oxidative and Protodecarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids
-
Photoredox catalysis in recent years has manifested a powerful branch of science in organic synthesis. Although merging photoredox and metal catalysts has been a widely used method, switchable heterogeneous photoredox catalysis has rarely been considered. Herein, we open a new window to use a switchable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst which could be turned on/off by changing a simple stimulus (O2) for two opponent reactions, namely, oxidative and protodecarboxylation. Using this strategy, we demonstrate that Au@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles could be used as a switchable photocatalyst which has good catalytic activity to absorb visible light due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of gold, can decarboxylate a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids, have multiple reusability, and are a reasonable candidate for synthesizing both aldehydes/ketones and alkane/arenes in a large-scale set up. Some biologically active molecules are also shown via examples of the direct oxidative and protodecarboxylation which widely provided pharmaceutical agents.

- Assessment of the regioselectivity in the condensation reaction of unsymmetrical o-phthaldialdehydes with alanine
-
One approach for the synthesis of isoindolinones, a privileged bioactive heterocyclic core structure, involves a condensation reaction of o-phthaldialdehydes with a suitable nitrogen-containing nucleophile. This fascinating reaction is revisited here in the context of the use of o-phthaldialdehydes that contain additional substituents in the aromatic ring leading to a detailed analysis of the regioselectivity of the reaction. Eleven monosubstituted o-phthaldialdehydes were synthesised and reacted with alanine. The regioselectivity observed across the eleven substrates led to the design of a disubstituted substrate that reacted with very high control. A gram-scale reaction followed by esterification gave one major regioisomer in high yield. In addition, the regioselectivity observed on reaction of two novel monodeuterated substrates led to an increased mechanistic understanding.

CO2-catalyzed transition-metal-free oxidation of alcohols has been achieved. Earlier, several methodologies have been explored for alcohol oxidations based on transition-metal catalysts. However, owing to the cheaper price, easy separation and nontoxicity, transition-metal-free systems are in high demand to the pharmaceutical industries. For this reason, various primary and secondary alcohols have been selectively oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds using CO2 as a catalyst in the presence of different functional groups such as nitrile, nitro, aldehyde, ester, halogen, ether, and so on. At the end, transition-metal-free syntheses of pharmaceuticals have also been achieved. Finally, the role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments and DFT calculations.

- Highly Productive Oxidative Biocatalysis in Continuous Flow by Enhancing the Aqueous Equilibrium Solubility of Oxygen
-
We report a simple, mild, and synthetically clean approach to accelerate the rate of enzymatic oxidation reactions by a factor of up to 100 when compared to conventional batch gas/liquid systems. Biocatalytic decomposition of H2O2 is used to produce a soluble source of O2 directly in reaction media, thereby enabling the concentration of aqueous O2 to be increased beyond equilibrium solubility under safe and practical conditions. To best exploit this method, a novel flow reactor was developed to maximize productivity (g product L?1 h?1). This scalable benchtop method provides a distinct advantage over conventional bio-oxidation in that no pressurized gas or specialist equipment is employed. The method is general across different oxidase enzymes and compatible with a variety of functional groups. These results culminate in record space-time yields for bio-oxidation.

- Solid state red biphotonic excited emission from small dipolar fluorophores
-
Dyes emitting in the solid state in the red or near-infrared range are much sought after for application in bioimaging especially if the long emission wavelength can be combined with two-photon excitation to provide unique contrast and penetration depth. In this article we present a series of small push-pull dipolar fluorophores based on 2-dicyanomethylene-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofurane as electron accepting group. Compounds 1a-1m differ only by the number (one, two or three) and the position of methoxy groups on the electron-donor part. If these compounds are weakly emissive in dilute solution, they exhibit aggregation-induced emission properties and exciting solid state emission in the red - near infrared range very different from one compound to another highlighting the role of the number and of the position of the methoxy electron-donor groups. The solid-state properties were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and the solid state structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction showing the presence of a long chain of specific aggregates for the emitting species. Finally, the two-photon excitation properties were measured over the range 780-920 nm directly on the solid.

Synthesis of serine derivatives having the essential functional groups for the inhibitor of SARS 3CL protease and evaluation of their inhibitory activities using SARS 3CL R188I mutant protease are described. The lead compounds, functionalized serine derivatives, were designed based on the tetrapeptide aldehyde and Bai's cinnamoly inhibitor, and additionally performed with simulation on GOLD softwear. Structure activity relationship studies of the candidate compounds were given reasonable inhibitors ent-3 and ent-7k against SARS 3CL R188I mutant protease. These inhibitors showed protease selectivity and no cytotoxicity.

- Formation and characterization of a reactive chromium(V)-oxo complex: Mechanistic insight into hydrogen-atom transfer reactions
-
A mononuclear Cr(V)-oxo complex, [CrV(O)(6-COO--tpa)](BF4)2 (1; 6-COO--tpa = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(6-carboxylato-2-pyridylmethyl)amine) was prepared through the reaction of a Cr(III) precursor complex with iodosylbenzene as an oxidant. Characterization of 1 was achieved using ESI-MS spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, UV-vis, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. The reduction potential (Ered) of 1 was determined to be 1.23 V vs. SCE in acetonitrile based on analysis of the electron-transfer (ET) equilibrium between 1 and a one-electron donor, [RuII(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine). The reorganization energy (λ) of 1 was also determined to be 1.03 eV in ET reactions from phenol derivatives to 1 on the basis of the Marcus theory of ET. The smaller λ value in comparison with that of an Fe(IV)-oxo complex (2.37 eV) is caused by the small structural change during ET due to the dπ character of the electron-accepting LUMO of 1. When benzyl alcohol derivatives (R-BA) with different oxidation potentials were employed as substrates, corresponding aldehydes were obtained as the 2e--oxidized products in moderate yields as determined from 1H NMR and GC-MS measurements. One-step UV-vis spectral changes were observed in the course of the oxidation reactions of BA derivatives by 1 and a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) was observed in the oxidation reactions for deuterated BA derivatives at the benzylic position as substrates. These results indicate that the rate-limiting step is a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from substrate to 1. In sharp contrast, in the oxidation of trimethoxy-BA (Eox = 1.22 V) by 1, trimethoxy-BA radical cation was observed by UV-vis spectroscopy. Thus, it was revealed that the mechanism of the oxidation reaction changed from one-step PCET to stepwise ET-proton transfer (ET/PT), depending on the redox potentials of R-BA.

- Mechanistic studies of copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-halogen migration
-
An ongoing challenge in modern catalysis is to identify and understand new modes of reactivity promoted by earth-abundant and inexpensive first-row transition metals. Herein, we report a mechanistic study of an unusual copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-migration of 2-bromostyrenes that reincorporates the bromine activating group into the final product with concomitant borylation of the aryl halide bond. A combination of experimental and computational studies indicated this reaction does not involve any oxidation state changes at copper; rather, migration occurs through a series of formal sigmatropic shifts. Insight provided from these studies will be used to expand the utility of aryl copper species in synthesis and develop new ligands for enantioselective copper-catalyzed halogenation.

- Photodegradation of methoxy substituted curcuminoids
-
Photodegradation of dimethoxy curcuminoids in acetonitrile solution was found to depend on the position of the methoxy group bonded to the phenyl ring. The rate of decomposition was expressed as the lifetime of the decomposing substrate, being the shortest in the case of the 3,5-dimethoxy and the longest for the 2,5-dimethoxy derivative. For the 3,5-dimethoxy curcuminoid, the major degradation products were 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid and the Z and E isomers of dimethoxycinnamic acid, together forming about 90% of the reaction mixture. Minor products found were 4,5-bis(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)hex-2-endionic acid, products with the molecular formula C23H24O6 and C23H22O6 attributed to the reaction of intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of the dimethoxy curcuminoid, and the dioxygenated bicyclopentadione derivative (C23H24O8) derived from autoxidative transformation of the dimethoxy curcuminoid.

- Palladium-catalyzed carbonylations of aryl bromides using paraformaldehyde: Synthesis of aldehydes and esters
-
Carbonylation reactions represent useful tools for organic synthesis. However, the necessity to use gaseous carbon monoxide is a disadvantage for most organic chemists. To solve this problem, novel protocols have been developed for conducting palladium-catalyzed reductive carbonylations of aryl bromides and alkoxycarbonylations using paraformaldehyde as an external CO source (CO gas free). Hence, aromatic aldehydes and esters were synthesized in moderate to good yields.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of Hydrazone derivatives as antifungal agents
-
Emerging yeasts are among the most prevalent causes of systemic infections with high mortality rates and there is an urgent need to develop specific, effective and non-Toxic antifungal agents to respond to this issue. In this study 35 aldehydes, hydrazones and hydrazines were obtained and their antifungal activity was evaluated against Candida species (C. parapsilosis, C.Tropicalis, C. krusei, C. albicans, C. glabrata and C. lusitaneae) and Trichosporon asahii, in an in vitro screening. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the active compounds in the screening was determined against 10 clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis and 10 of T. asahii. The compounds 4-pyridin-2-ylbenzaldehyde] (13a) and tert-butyl-(2Z)-2-(3,4,5-Trihydroxybenzylidine)hydrazine carboxylate (7b) showed the most promising MIC values in the range of 16-32 μg/mL and 8-16 μg/mL, respectively. The compounds' action on the stability of the cell membrane and cell wall was evaluated, which suggested the action of the compounds on the fungal cell membrane. Cell viability of leukocytes and an alkaline comet assay were performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity. Compound 13a was not cytotoxic at the active concentrations. These results support the discovery of promising candidates for the development of new antifungal agents.

- Magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles/TEMPO catalyzed selective oxidation of activated alcohols to aldehydes under ligand- and base-free conditions in water
-
A novel, effective and sustainable strategy for the synthesis of aldehydes has been developed using inexpensive, readily available, oxygen-stable and recyclable CuFe2O4 nanoparticles as the catalyst. The corresponding substituted aldehydes were obtained in moderate to good yields by aerobic oxidation of aromatic alcohols in water under dioxygen atmosphere. Importantly, a ligand or a base was not necessary. The catalyst was completely recoverable with an external magnet and could be reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Aerobic oxidation of alcohols by using a completely metal-free catalytic system
-
A metal-free reaction system of air, NH4NO3(cat), 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)(cat), and H +(cat) is introduced as a simple, safe, inexpensive, efficient and chemoselective mediator for aerobic oxidation of various primary and secondary benzyl and alkyl alcohols, including those bearing oxidizable heteroatoms (N, S, O) to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. Air oxygen under slight overpressure plays the role of the terminal oxidant, which is catalytically activated by redox cycles of nitrogen oxides released from a catalytic amount of NH4NO3 and cocatalyzed by TEMPO (nitroxyl radical compound), under acidic conditions, which are essential for an overall activation of the reaction system. The synthetic value of this reaction system and its green chemical profile was illustrated by a 10 g scale-up experiment, performed in an open-air system by using a renewable and reusable polymer-supported form of TEMPO (OXYNITROXS100). The reaction solvent was recovered by distillation under atmospheric pressure, and the pure final product was isolated under reduced pressure; the acid activators (HCl or H 2SO4) were recovered as ammonium salts. A metal-free reaction system of air/NH4NO3(cat)/TEMPO (cat)/H+(cat) is introduced as a simple, safe, inexpensive, efficient and chemoselective mediator for aerobic oxidation of various primary and secondary benzyl, alkyl and allyl alcohols, including those bearing oxidizable heteroatoms (N, S, O) to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones.

- Copper catalysts for selective c-c bond cleavage of b-o-4 lignin model compounds
-
The reactivity of homogeneous copper catalysts towards the selective C-C bond cleavage of both phenolic and non-phenolic arylglycerol b-aryl ether lignin model compounds has been explored. Several copper precursors, nitrogen ligands, and solvents were evaluated in order to optimize the catalyst system. Using the optimized catalyst system, copper(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate [CuACHTUNGTRENUNG(OTf)]/L/TEMPO (L=2,6-lutidine, TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yl-oxyl), aerobic oxidation of the non-phenolic b-O-4 lignin model compound proceeded with good selectivity for Ca-Cb bond cleavage, affording 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde as the major product. Aerobic oxidation of the corresponding phenolic b-O-4 lignin model proceeded with different selectivity, affording 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone and a,b-unsaturated aldehyde products resulting from cleavage of the CaCaryl bond. At low catalyst concentrations, however, a change in selectivity was observed as oxidation of the benzylic secondary alcohol predominated with both substrates.

4-Phenol diazonium salts undergo Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions with various styrenes to 4′-hydroxy stilbenes. In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

A synthetic approach toward the pharmacologically active (E)-stilbene pterostilbene is described using a Wittig reaction conducted under mildly basic, aqueous conditions. A surprising, non-intuitive difference in (E)/(Z) stereoselectivity was observed comparing the two possible isomeric Wittig routes, allowing for the development of a highly efficient process to access the title stilbene derivative through a one-pot olefination deprotection sequence.

- Aerobic oxidation of β-1 lignin model compounds with copper and oxovanadium catalysts
-
The reactivity of homogeneous oxovanadium and copper catalysts toward aerobic oxidation of phenolic and nonphenolic β-1 lignin model compounds has been investigated. Aerobic oxidation of diastereomeric, nonphenolic β-1 lignin models (1T, 1E) using the six-coordinate vanadium complex (HQ) 2VV(O)(OiPr) (HQ = 8-oxyquinolinate) as a precatalyst in pyridine afforded ketone (3) and dehydrated ketone (4) derived from oxidation of the secondary alcohol. In contrast, using CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/ TEMPO (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate, TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1- yl-oxyl) in toluene for the same reaction afforded 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5) and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (6) as major products resulting from C α-Cβ bond cleavage. Reactions of the corresponding phenolic lignin model compounds (2T, 2E) with 10 mol % CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/TEMPO gave ketone (9) as the major product, whereas 10 mol % (HQ)2VV(O)(OiPr) or a stoichiometric amount of CuOTf/2,6-lutidine/TEMPO yielded 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone (10) as the major product, arising from cleavage of the Caryl-Cα bond. Different selectivity was observed in the oxidation of 2T, 2E using the five-coordinate complex (dipic)VV(O)(OiPr) (dipic = dipicolinate), with α,β-unsaturated aldehyde (14) as the major product (formed from oxidation of the primary alcohol and dehydration). The key differences in chemoselectivity between the vanadium and copper catalysts in the oxidations of these phenolic and nonphenolic β-1 lignin models are discussed.
