- Effects of oligothiophene π-bridge length on physical and photovoltaic properties of star-shaped molecules for bulk heterojunction solar cells
-
The preparation of four different star-shaped donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) small molecules (N(Ph-1T-DCN-Me)3, N(Ph-2T-DCN-Me)3, N(Ph-2T-DCN-Hex)3and N(Ph-3T-DCN-Hex)3) possessing various oligothiophene π-bridge lengths and their use in solution-processed bulk heterojunction small molecule solar cells is reported. Optical and electrochemical data show that increasing oligothiophene π-bridge length leads to a decrease of the optical band gap due to a parallel increase of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level. Furthermore, subtle modifications of a molecular π-bridge length strongly affect the thermal behavior, solubility, crystallization, film morphology and charge carrier mobility, which in turn significantly change the device performance. Although the moderately increasing oligothiophene π-bridge length uplifts the HOMO level, it nevertheless induces an increase of the efficiency of the resulting solar cells due to a simultaneous improvement of the short circuit current (Jsc) and fill factor (FF). The study demonstrates that such an approach can represent an interesting tool for the effective modulation of the photovoltaic properties of the organic solar cells (OSCs) at a moderate cost.

- Effects of acid-modified HBEA zeolites on thiophene acylation and the origin of deactivation of zeolites
-
The liquid phase Friedel-Crafts acylation of thiophene with acetic anhydride over HBEA zeolites modified by hydrochloric, nitric, and acetic acid was investigated in a trickle bed reactor. The catalytic stability of the HBEA zeolite was doubled after treatment with the hydrochloric and nitric acids due to the increase of the ratio of Broensted to Lewis acid sites, the surface area, and the average pore diameter. The deactivated zeolites can be regenerated by calcination in a muffle furnace and the superior reusability of the zeolite HBEA was demonstrated after nine cycles. Moreover, the carbon deposit was proved to be one of the main reasons for the deactivation by using 13C NMR MAS, 27Al NMR MAS, and TGA.

- High luminescence quantum yields and long luminescence lifetime from Eu(III) complex containing two crystal water based on a new β-diketonate ligand
-
New members of family of Eu(III) complex based on the thenoylacetophenone have been synthesized and characterized. The compounds were found for high metal luminescence quantum yields and long luminescence lifetime, especially for compound with two crystal water, corresponding with other compounds containing two crystal water. The result is attributed to high molar absorption coefficients of the Eu(III) complex according to UV-vis and emission spectra. The high molar absorption coefficients balance quenching effect from O{single bond}H oscillators of water contained in compound.

- Rapid, chemoselective and mild oxidation protocol for alcohols and ethers with recyclable N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide
-
Chlorine is the 20th most abundant element on the earth compared to bromine, iodine, and fluorine, a sulfonimide reagent, N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide (NCBSI) was identified as a mild and selective oxidant. Without activation, the reagent was proved to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols as well as their symmetrical and mixed ethers to corresponding aldehydes and ketones. With recoverable PS-TEMPO catalyst, selective oxidation over chlorination of primary and secondary alcohols and their ethers with electron-donating substituents was achieved. The reagent precursor of NCBSI was recovered quantitatively and can be reused for synthesizing NCBSI.

- Visible light mediated selective oxidation of alcohols and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles using scalable and reusable La-doped NiWO4nanoparticles
-
Visible light-mediated selective and efficient oxidation of various primary/secondary benzyl alcohols to aldehydes/ketones and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of partially saturated heterocycles using a scalable and reusable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst in aqueous medium are described. A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential oxidation of benzyl alcohols and heteroaryl carbinols followed by the Pictet-Spengler cyclization and then aromatization to obtain the β-carbolines in high isolated yields. This methodology was found to be suitable for scale up and reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the oxidation of structurally diverse aryl carbinols and ODH of partially saturated N-heterocycles using a recyclable and heterogeneous photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.

- The dehydrogenative oxidation of aryl methanols using an oxygen bridged [Cu-O-Se] bimetallic catalyst
-
Herein, we report a new protocol for the dehydrogenative oxidation of aryl methanols using the cheap and commercially available catalyst CuSeO3·2H2O. Oxygen-bridged [Cu-O-Se] bimetallic catalysts are not only less expensive than other catalysts used for the dehydrogenative oxidation of aryl alcohols, but they are also effective under mild conditions and at low concentrations. The title reaction proceeds with a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic methanol examples, obtaining the corresponding carbonyls in high yields. This is the first example using an oxygen-bridged copper-based bimetallic catalyst [Cu-O-Se] for dehydrogenative benzylic oxidation. Computational DFT studies reveal simultaneous H-transfer and Cu-O bond breaking, with a transition-state barrier height of 29.3 kcal mol?1

- Phase Separation-Promoted Redox Deracemization of Secondary Alcohols over a Supported Dual Catalysts System
-
Unification of oxidation and reduction in a one-pot deracemization process has great significance in the preparation of enantioenriched organic molecules. However, the intrinsic mutual deactivation of oxidative and reductive catalysts and the extrinsic incompatible reaction conditions are unavoidable challenges in a single operation. To address these two issues, we develop a supported dual catalysts system to overcome these conflicts from incompatibility to compatibility, resulting in an efficient one-pot redox deracemization of secondary alcohols. During this transformation, the TEMPO species onto the outer surface of silica nanoparticles catalyze the oxidation of racemic alcohols to ketones, and the chiral Rh/diamine species in the nanochannels of the thermoresponsive polymer-coated hollow-shell mesoporous silica enable the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to chiral alcohols. To demonstrate the general feasibility, a series of orthogonal oxidation/ATH cascade reactions are compared to prove the compatible benefits in the elimination of their deactivations and the balance of the cascade directionality. As presented in this study, this redox deracemization process provides various chiral alcohols with enhanced yields and enantioselectivities relative to those from unsupported dual catalysts systems. Furthermore, the dual catalysts can be recycled continuously, making them an attractive feature in the application.

- Ferric ion concentration-controlled aerobic photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond with high selectivity and conversion
-
A Fe(III)-promoted highly selective photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond delivering relative carbonyl products is reported. By altering the concentration of ferric salt, methylarenes can be selectively oxidized under UV irradiation to furnish aromatic aldehydes or acids, respectively. By this protocol, the oxidation of ethylarenes provides the corresponding acetophenones. The reaction is inferred to involve divergent pathways in different concentrations of catalyst for the alternative selectivity between aldehydes and aicds. The reusable catalyst, high conversion and selectivity make this oxidation a green and economic protocol for the synthesis of aromatic carbonyl compounds.

The versatile application of different functional groups such as alcohols (1° and 2°), alkyl arenes, and (aryl)olefins to construct carbon-oxygen bond via oxidation is an area of intense research. Here, we report a reusable heterogeneous V2O5@TiO2 catalyzed selective oxidation of various functionalities utilizing different mild and eco-compatible oxidants under greener reaction conditions. The method was successfully applied for the alcohol oxidation, oxidative scission of styrenes, and benzylic C?H oxidation to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones. The utilization of mild and eco-friendly oxidizing reagents such as K2S2O8, H2O2 (30 % aq.), TBHP (70 % aq.), broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis, and catalyst recyclability are notable features of the developed protocol.

- Visible-light photocatalytic selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds by anion-cation dual-metal-site nanoscale localized carbon nitride
-
Selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups by abstracting H with a photoinduced highly active oxygen radical is an effective method used to give high value products. Here, we report a heterogeneous photocatalytic alkanes C-H bonds oxidation method under the irradiation of visible light (λ= 425 nm) at ambient temperature using an anion-cation dual-metal-site modulated carbon nitride. The optimized cation (C) of Fe3+or Ni2+, with an anion (A) of phosphotungstate (PW123?) constitutes the nanoscale dual-metal-site (DMS). With a Fe-PW12dual-metal-site as a model (FePW), we demonstrate a A-C DMS nanoscale localized carbon nitride (A-C/g-C3N4) exhibiting a highly enhanced photocatalytic activity with a high product yield (86% conversion), selectivity (up to 99%), and a wide functional group tolerance (52 examples). The carbon nitride performs the roles of both the visible light response, and improves the selectivity for the oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups, along with the function of A-C DMS in promoting product yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction follows a radical pathway catalyzed by a photogenerated electron and hole on A-C/g-C3N4that is mediated by thetBuO˙ andtBuOO˙ radicals. Notably, a 10 g scale reaction was successfully achieved for alkane photocatalytic oxidation to the corresponding product with a good yield (80% conversion), and high selectivity (95%) under natural sunlight at ambient temperature. In addition, this A-C/g-C3N4photocatalyst is highly robust and can be reused at least six times and the activity is maintained.

- Bifunctional Metal-Organic Layers for Tandem Catalytic Transformations Using Molecular Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
-
Tandem catalytic reactions improve atom- and step-economy over traditional synthesis but are limited by the incompatibility of the required catalysts. Herein, we report the design of bifunctional metal-organic layers (MOLs), HfOTf-Fe and HfOTf-Mn, consisting of triflate (OTf)-capped Hf6 secondary building units (SBUs) as strong Lewis acidic centers and metalated TPY ligands as metal active sites for tandem catalytic transformations using O2 and CO2 as coreactants. HfOTf-Fe effectively transforms hydrocarbons into cyanohydrins via tandem oxidation with O2 and silylcyanation whereas HfOTf-Mn converts styrenes into styrene carbonates via tandem epoxidation and CO2 insertion. Density functional theory calculations revealed the involvement of a high-spin FeIV (S = 2) center in the challenging oxidation of the sp3 C-H bond. This work highlights the potential of MOLs as a tunable platform to incorporate multiple catalysts for tandem transformations.

- Hydration of Alkynes to Ketones with an Efficient and Practical Polyoxomolybdate-based Cobalt Catalyst
-
Hydration of alkynes to ketones is one of the most atom economical and universal methods for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. However, the basic reaction usually requires organic ligand catalysts or harsh reaction conditions to insert oxygen into the C≡C bond. Here, we report an inorganic ligand supported cobalt (III) catalyst, (NH4)3[CoMo6O18(OH)6], which is supported by a central cobalt (III) mononucleus and a ring-shaped pure inorganic ligand composed of six MoVIO6 octahedrons to avoid the disadvantages of expensive and unrecyclable organic ligand catalysts or noble metal catalysts. Under mild conditions, the cobalt (III) catalyst can be used for the hydration of alkynes to ketones. The catalyst is non-toxic, green, and environment friendly. The catalyst can be recycled at least six times with high activity. According to control experiments, a reasonable mechanism is provided.

In the presence of Shvo's catalyst [2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadien-1-ol, ruthenium(II) complex], a small quantity of aniline and TGPS-750-M surfactant, terminal alkynes were hydrated under microwave (MW) dielectric heating in water as solvent with high conversion and good yield. The reaction gives the Markovnikov product exclusively, unlike that commonly observed with ruthenium complexes. Under the influence of MWs, Ru nanoparticles embedded in the nanomicelle environment were formed, acting as the effective hydration catalyst. Introducing sodium formate in the aqueous phase and using a stoichiometric amount of amines, the Ru nanoparticle nanomicelle catalyst gave the first example of one-pot single-step hydroamination of alkynes with the formation of the corresponding secondary amines. The reaction is characterized by low environmental impact as TGPS-750-M is required in low amount, and organic solvents employed only for product separation or catalyst recycling.

- 1,2-Diethoxyethane catalyzed oxidative cleavage of gem-disubstituted aromatic alkenes to ketones under minimal solvent conditions
-
Aerobic oxidation using pure dioxygen gas as the oxidant has attracted much attention, but its application in synthetic chemistry has been significantly hampered by the complexity of catalytic system and potential risk of high-energy dioxygen gas. By employing 1,2-diethoxyethane as a catalyst and ambient air as an oxidant, an efficient protocol for the construction of various aryl-alkyl and diaryl ketones through oxidative cleavage of gem-disubstituted aromatic alkenes under minimal solvent conditions has been achieved.

- A metal-free heterogeneous photocatalyst for the selective oxidative cleavage of CC bonds in aryl olefins: via harvesting direct solar energy
-
Selective cleavage of CC bonds is highly important for the synthesis of carbonyl containing fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Novel methodologies such as ozonolysis reactions, Lemieux-Johnson oxidation reaction etc. already exist. Parallel to these, catalytic methods using homogeneous catalysts also have been discovered. Considering the various advantages of heterogeneous catalysts such as recyclability and stability, couple of transition metal-based heterogeneous catalysts have been applied for this reaction. However, the pharmaceutical industries prefer to use metal-free catalysts (especially transition metal-free) to avoid further leaching in the final products. This is for sure a big challenge to an organic chemist and to the pharmaceutical industries. To make this feasible, a mild and efficient protocol has been developed using polymeric carbon nitrides (PCN) as metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts to convert various olefins into the corresponding carbonyls. Later, this catalyst has been applied in the gram scale synthesis of pharmaceutical drugs using direct solar energy. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed the actual role of oxygen, the catalyst, and the light source.

- Visible-light mediated facile dithiane deprotection under metal free conditions
-
Visible light mediated facile and selective dithiane deprotection under metal free conditions is developed. Eosin Y (1 mol%) proved to be an effective catalyst for the dithiane deprotection under the ambient photoredox conditions. The standard household compact fluorescent light source (CFL bulb) proved to be effective under open-air conditions in aqueous acetonitrile at room temperature. The protocol that exhibits a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance has been shown to expand to a range of transformations for the electron-rich and -deficient thioacetals and thioketals. The synthetic utility of this protocol has also been demonstrated by gram-scale application.

- Highly efficient and practical aerobic oxidation of alcohols by inorganic-ligand supported copper catalysis
-
The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones is a highly relevant conversion for the pharmaceutical and fine-chemical industries, and for biomass conversion, and is commonly performed using stoichiometric amounts of highly hazardous oxidants. The aerobic oxidation of alcohols with transition metal complex catalysts previously required complicated organic ligands and/or nitroxyl radicals as co-catalysts. Herein, we report an efficient and eco-friendly method to promote the aerobic oxidation of alcohols using an inorganic-ligand supported copper catalyst 1, (NH4)4[CuMo6O18(OH)6], with O2 (1 atm) as the sole oxidant. Catalyst 1 is synthesized directly from cheap and commonly available (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O and CuSO4, which consists of a pure inorganic framework built from a central CuII core supported by six MoVIO6 inorganic scaffolds. The copper catalyst 1 exhibits excellent selectivity and activity towards a wide range of substrates in the catalytic oxidation of alcohols, and can avoid the use of toxic oxidants, nitroxyl radicals, and potentially air/moisture sensitive and complicated organic ligands that are not commercially available. Owing to its robust inorganic framework, catalyst 1 shows good stability and reusability, and the catalytic oxidation of alcohols with catalyst 1 could be readily scaled up to gram scale with little loss of catalytic activity, demonstrating great potential of the inorganic-ligand supported Cu catalysts in catalytic chemical transformations.

- Electrochemical performance of ABNO for oxidation of secondary alcohols in acetonitrile solution
-
The ketones was successfully prepared from secondary alcohols using 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-N-oxyl (ABNO) as the catalyst and 2,6-lutidine as the base in acetonitrile solution. The electrochemical activity of ABNO for oxidation of 1-phenylethanol was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and constant current electrolysis experiments. The resulting cyclic voltammetry indicated that ABNO exhibited much higher electrochemical activity when compared with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) under the similar conditions. A reasonable reaction mechanism of the electrocatalytic oxidation of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone was proposed. In addition, a series of secondary alcohols could be converted to the corresponding ketones at room temperature in 80-95% isolated yields.

- Synthesis of asymmetrically substituted head-to-head polyacetylenes from 2,3-disubstituted-1,3-butadienes
-
Asymmetrically substituted head-to-head polyacetylenes with phenyl and triphenylamine, thienyl or pyrenyl side groups were synthesized through anionic or controlled radical polymerization of 2,3-disubstituted-1,3-butadienes and subsequent dehydrogenation process. Anionic polymerizations of the designed monomers bearing pendent triphenylamine and thienyl group gave narrow disperse disubstituted precursor polybutadienes with exclusive 1,4- or 4,1-structure, which were confirmed by GPC and NMR measurements. In addition, the monomers possessing pyrenyl group were polymerized via nitroxide mediated radical polymerization and the resulting polymers were obtained with controlled molecular weight and low polydispersities. These polybutadiene precursors were then dehydrogenated in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. Thus asymmetrically substituted head-to-head polyacetylenes were obtained as indicated by 1H NMR. The properties of polybutadiene precursors and the corresponding polyacetylenes were analyzed by UV–vis, DSC, and TGA.

- Iron-Enabled Utilization of Air as the Terminal Oxidant Leading to Aerobic Oxidative Deoximation by Organoselenium Catalysis
-
In contrast to conventional organoselenium-catalyzed oxidation reactions that require peroxide oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, in this work we found that, addition of a low loading of iron (II) could enable the successful utilization of air as the terminal oxidant in organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction of ketoximes. This led to a new mild and relatively green aerobic oxidative deoximation method. Control reactions and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggest that iron is crucial in the catalytic cycle, working to prohibit the deactivation of selenium catalyst through an iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of low valent selenium species by air to the active high valent selenium species. Since air can be utilized as the terminal oxidant, this work may contribute to the advance of organoselenium catalysis. (Figure presented.).

- Combining structure- and property-based optimization to identify selective FLT3-ITD inhibitors with good antitumor efficacy in AML cell inoculated mouse xenograft model
-
FLT3 mutation is among the most common genetic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is also related with poor overall survival and refractory in AML patients. Recently, FLT3 inhibitors have been approved for AML therapy. Herein, a series of new compounds with pyrazole amine scaffold was discovered, which showed potent inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD and significant selectivity against both FLT3-ITD and AML cells expressing FLT3-ITD. Compound 46, possessing the most promising cellular activity, blocked the autophosphorylation of FLT3 pathway in MV4-11 cell line. Furthermore, the apoptosis and downregulation of P-STAT5 were also observed in tumor cells extracted from the MV4-11 cell xenografts model upon compound 46 treatment. Compound 46 was also metabolically stable in vitro and suppressed tumor growth significantly in MV4-11 xenografts model in vivo. Compound 46 showed no toxicity to the viscera of mice and caused no decrease in body weight of mice. In conclusion, the results of this study could provide valuable insights into discovery of new FLT3 inhibitors, and compound 46 was worthy of further development as potential drug candidate to treat AML.

- Visible-Light-Driven Direct Oxidative Coupling Reaction Leading to Alkyl Aryl Ketones, Catalyzed by Nano Pd/ZnO
-
Direct alkyl sp3 C–H activation to form new C–C bonds is one of the major challenges in synthetic chemistry. Herein, for the first time, we represent a new method, using nano Pd/ZnO which plays both as photoredox and transition-metal catalyst, for C–C bond formations. By using this catalyst, we have accomplished an oxidative coupling reaction between aryl halides and tertiary amines to yield the corresponding naturally occurring alkyl aryl ketones by using visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the carbonylation process was carried out on a 10 gram scale, with visible light and thermal condition, and it was proved to be scalable, efficient, and economical.
