- Photoredox Catalyzed Sulfonylation of Multisubstituted Allenes with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Rhodamine B
-
A highly regio- and stereoselective sulfonylation of allenes was developed that provided direct access to α, β-substituted unsaturated sulfone. By means of visible-light photoredox catalysis, the free radicals produced by p-toluenesulfonic acid reacted with multisubstituted allenes to obtain Markovnikov-type vinyl sulfones with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Rhodamine B as photocatalyst. The yield of this reaction could reach up to 91%. A series of unsaturated sulfones would be used for further transformation to some valuable compounds.

- Selective C(sp3)?N Bond Cleavage of N,N-Dialkyl Tertiary Amines with the Loss of a Large Alkyl Group via an SN1 Pathway
-
Polar disconnection of the C(sp3)?N bond of N,N-dialkyl-substituted tertiary amines via ammonium species conventionally favored the loss of the smaller alkyl group by an SN2 displacement, while selective C(sp3)?N bond cleavage by cutting off the larger alkyl group is still underdeveloped. Herein, we present a novel Pd0-catalyzed [2+2+1] annulation, proceeding through an alkyne-directed palladacycle formation and consecutive diamination with a tertiary hydroxylamine by cleaving its N?O bond and one C(sp3)?N bond, for the rapid assembly of tricyclic indoles in a single-step transformation. Noteworthy, experimental results indicated that large tert-butyl and benzyl groups were selectively cleaved via an SN1 pathway, in the presence of a smaller alkyl group (Me, Et, iPr). Under the guidance of this new finding, tricyclic indoles bearing a removable alkyl group could be exclusively obtained by using a (α-methyl)benzyl/benzyl or tert-butyl/2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl mixed amino source.

- Clean protocol for deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes: Via catalytic hydrogenation using gold
-
The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.

- Heterogeneously Catalyzed Selective Decarbonylation of Aldehydes by CeO2-Supported Highly Dispersed Non-Electron-Rich Ni(0) Nanospecies
-
Aldehyde decarbonylation has been extensively investigated, primarily using noble-metal catalysts; however, nonprecious-base-metal-catalyzed aldehyde decarbonylation has been hardly reported. We have established an efficient selective aldehyde decarbonylation reaction with a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance utilizing a heterogeneous Ni(0) nanospecies catalyst supported on CeO2. The high catalytic performance is attributable to the highly dispersed and non-electron-rich Ni(0) nanospecies, which possibly suppress a side reaction producing esters and adsorbed CO-derived inhibition of the catalytic turnover, according to detailed catalyst characterization and kinetic evaluation.

- Recoverable palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions under thermomorphic mode: Stille and suzuki-miyaura reactions
-
The reaction of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] and bis-4,40-(RfCH2OCH2)-2,2'-bpy (1a-d), where Rf = n- C11F23 (a), n-C10F21 (b), n-C9F19 (c) and n-C8F17 (d), respectively, in the presence of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) resulted in the synthesis of Pd complex, [PdCl2[4,4'-bis-(RfCH2OCH2)-2,2'-bpy] (2a-d). The Pd-catalyzed Stille arylations of vinyl tributyltin with aryl halides were selected to demonstrate the feasibility of recycling usage with 2a as the catalyst using NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) as the solvent at 120-150 °C. Additionally, recycling and electronic effect studies of 2a-c were also carried out for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of phenylboronic acid derivatives, 4-X-C6H4-B(OH)2, (X = H or Ph) with aryl halide, 4-Y-C6H4-Z, (Y = CN, H or OCH3; Z = I or Br) in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 135-150 °C. At the end of each cycle, the product mixtures were cooled to lower temperature (e.g., -10 °C), and then catalysts were recovered by decantation with Pd leaching less than 1%. The products were quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis or by the isolated yield. The complex 2a-catalyzed Stille reaction of aryl iodides with vinyl tributyltin have good recycling results for a total of 8 times, with a high yield within short period of time (1-3 h). Similarly, 2a-c-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions also have good recycling results. The electronic effect studies from substituents in both Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions showed that electron withdrawing groups speed up the reaction rate. To our knowledge, this is the first example of recoverable fluorous long-chained Pd-catalyzed Stille reactions under the thermomorphic mode.

-
This study develops an effective method for thein situsynthesis of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) usingCyclea barbatapectin as a green reducing and stabilizing reagent. The PdNP@pectin nanocomposite was well characterized by analysis techniques such as UV-vis, FTIR, EDX, XRD, SEM, HR-TEM and STEM-mapping. Crystalline PdNPs were found to be distributed in the size range of 1-25 nm with the highest frequency of 6-12 nm. PdNP@pectin exhibited excellent recyclable catalysis activity for the Heck coupling reaction in water medium. The kinetics and recyclability of nanoparticles were investigated for the catalytic reduction ofo-,m- andp-nitrophenol. The result showed a good catalysis efficiency with five successful recycles without compromising much. In particular, the nanocomposite was used as a catalyst for the conversion of alkynes intocis-alkenes with KOH/DMF as a hydrogenation source. The reaction was also utilized effectively for the synthesis of sex pheromones, includingPlutella xylostella((Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate) andCylas formicarius((Z)-3-dodecen-1-yl(E)-2-butenoate) with the total yields of 70% and 68%, respectively. Therefore, PdNPs supported onC. barbatapectin are promising catalysis materials for application in various fields.

Copper hydrides are very useful in hydrogenation reactions. We report a stable Stryker-type copper hydride reagent protected by hemilabile phosphines: [Cu8H6(dppy)6](OTf)2(Cu8-H, dppy = diphenylphosphino-2-pyridine). The metal core of this cluster has a bicapped octahedral configuration, and the copper-bound hydrides each triply bridges over a triangular face of the octahedron. This cluster is attractive due to its facile preparation and excellent stability under ambient conditions. The comparable activity and selectivity both in the stoichiometric and catalytic reactions makeCu8-Ha promising alternative to Stryker's reagent.

- Preparation of Recyclable and Versatile Porous Poly(aryl thioether)s by Reversible Pd-Catalyzed C–S/C–S Metathesis
-
Porous organic materials (polymers and COFs) have shown a number of promising properties; however, the lability of their linkages often limits their robustness and can hamper downstream industrial application. Inspired by the outstanding chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance of the 1D polymer poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), we have designed a new family of porous poly(aryl thioether)s, synthesized via a mild Pd-catalyzed C–S/C–S metathesis-based method, that merges the attractive features common to porous polymers and PPS in a single material. In addition, the method is highly modular, allowing to easily introduce application-oriented functionalities in the materials for a series of environmentally relevant applications including metal capture, metal sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, despite their extreme chemical resistance, the polymers can be easily recycled to recover the original monomers, offering an attractive perspective for their sustainable use. In a broader context, these results clearly demonstrate the untapped potential of emerging single-bond metathesis reactions in the preparation of new, recyclable materials.

A copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling of cyclobutanone oxime esters with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed. The copper-based catalytic system proved crucial for cleavage of the C-C bond of cyclobutanone oximes and for selective C-S bond-formation involving persistent sulfonyl-metal radical intermediates. This protocol is distinguished by the low-cost catalytic system, which does not require ligand, base, or toxic cyanide salt, and by the use of readily accessible starting materials, as well as broad substrate scope, providing an efficient approach to various diversely substituted cyano-containing sulfones.

- Electrochemistry enabled selective vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation of alkenes
-
Both sulfur and fluorine play important roles in organic synthesis, the life science, and materials science. The direct incorporation of these elements into organic scaffolds with precise control of the oxidation states of sulfur moieties is of great significance. Herein, we report the highly selective electrochemical vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation reactions of alkenes, which were enabled by the unique ability of electrochemistry to dial in the potentials on demand. Preliminary mechanistic investigations revealed that the fluorosulfenylation reaction proceeded through a radical-polar crossover mechanism involving a key episulfonium ion intermediate. Subsequent electrochemical oxidation of fluorosulfides to fluorosulfoxides were readily achieved under a higher applied potential with the adventitious H2O in the reaction mixture.

- Mild olefin formationviabio-inspired vitamin B12photocatalysis
-
Dehydrohalogenation, or elimination of hydrogen-halide equivalents, remains one of the simplest methods for the installation of the biologically-important olefin functionality. However, this transformation often requires harsh, strongly-basic conditions, rare noble metals, or both, limiting its applicability in the synthesis of complex molecules. Nature has pursued a complementary approach in the novel vitamin B12-dependent photoreceptor CarH, where photolysis of a cobalt-carbon bond leads to selective olefin formation under mild, physiologically-relevant conditions. Herein we report a light-driven B12-based catalytic system that leverages this reactivity to convert alkyl electrophiles to olefins under incredibly mild conditions using only earth abundant elements. Further, this process exhibits a high level of regioselectivity, producing terminal olefins in moderate to excellent yield and exceptional selectivity. Finally, we are able to access a hitherto-unknown transformation, remote elimination, using two cobalt catalysts in tandem to produce subterminal olefins with excellent regioselectivity. Together, we show vitamin B12to be a powerful platform for developing mild olefin-forming reactions.

A chemoselectivity switchable microflow reaction was developed to generate reactive and unstable intermediates. The switchable chemoselectivity of this reaction enables a selection for one of two different intermediates, an aryllithium or a benzyl lithium, at will from the same starting material. Starting from bromo-substituted styrenes, the aryllithium intermediates were converted to the substituted styrenes, whereas the benzyl lithium intermediates were engaged in an anionic polymerization. These chemoselectivity-switchable reactions can be integrated to produce polymers that cannot be formed during typical polymerization reactions.

The crystalline structures of 4b and 5b show a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration in the solid state with a coordinated coumarin moiety. In contrast, an equilibrium between this pentacoordinated structure and the related square planar isomer is observed in solution as a consequence of the hemilability of the pyrone ring. Characterization of both species by NMR was achieved at the low and high temperature limits, respectively. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters of the equilibrium, ΔHR and ΔSR, were obtained by VT 1H NMR spectroscopy and fall in the range 22-33 kJ mol-1 and 72-113 J mol-1 K-1, respectively. Carbonylation of IrCl(κC,η2-BzITolCou7,8-Me2)(cod) resulted in the formation of a bis-CO derivative showing no hemilabile behaviour. The newly synthesised complexes efficiently catalyze the hydrosilylation of alkynes at room temperature with a preference for the β-(Z) vinylsilane isomer.

This reaction proceeds rapidly at room temperature in the presence of a hydride co-catalyst to generate polymers of weight up to Mn=189 000 Da. We have determined the polymer structure and chain length for a range of monomers through a combination of NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis. Mechanistically, we postulate that the co-catalyst does not react to form an iron(II) hydride in situ, but instead the chain growth is proceeding via a reactive Fe(III) species. We have also performed kinetic and isotopic experiments to further our understanding. The formation of a highly unusual 1,3-substituted cyclobutane side-product is also investigated.

The selectivity of Grubbs first generation catalysts (G1) in dehydrogenative alcohol coupling reactions can be tuned for the ester formation in the presence of weak bases, while the selectivity can be switched to the β-alkylated alcohol formation using strong bases. The performance of Hoveyda-Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst (HG2) was improved in the presence of tricyclohexylphosphine for the selective synthesis of ester derivatives with weak and strong bases in quantitative yields. Allyl alcohol was used as self and cross-metathesis substrate for the HG2 catalyzed sequential cross-metathesis/dehydrogenative alcohol coupling reactions to obtain γ-butyrolactone and long-chain ester derivatives in quantitative yields.

The effect of viscosity on the radical termination reaction between a transient radical and a persistent radical undergoing a coupling reaction (Coup) or hydrogen abstraction (Abst) was examined. In a non-viscous solvent, such as benzene (bulk viscosity bulk 99% Coup/Abst selectivity, but Coup/Abst decreased as the viscosity increased (89/11 in PEG400 at 25 °C [bulk = 84 mPa s]). While bulk viscosity is a good parameter to predict the Coup/Abst selectivity in each solvent, microviscosity is the more general parameter. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-end radicals had a more significant viscosity effect than polystyrene (PSt)-end radicals, and the Coup/Abst ratio of the former dropped to 50/50 in highly viscous media (bulk = 3980 mPa s), while the latter maintained high Coup/ Abst selectivity (84/16). These results, together with the low thermal stability of dormant PMMA-TEMPO species compared with that of PSt-TEMPO species, are attributed to the limitation of the nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of MMA. While both organotellurium and bromine compounds were used as precursors of radicals, the former was superior to the latter for the clean generation of radical species.

- 16-Electron Nickel(0)-Olefin Complexes in Low-Temperature C(sp2)-C(sp3) Kumada Cross-Couplings
-
Investigations into the mechanism of the low-temperature C(sp2)-C(sp3) Kumada cross-coupling catalyzed by highly reduced nickel-olefin-lithium complexes revealed that 16-electron tris(olefin)nickel(0) complexes are competent catalysts for this transformation. A survey of various nickel(0)-olefin complexes identified Ni(nor)3as an active catalyst, with performance comparable to that of the previously described Ni-olefin-lithium precatalyst. We demonstrate that Ni(nor)3, however, is unable to undergo oxidative addition to the corresponding C(sp2)-Br bond at low temperatures (a nickel(0)-alkylmagnesium complex. We demonstrate that this unique heterobimetallic complex is now primed for reactivity, thus cleaving the C(sp2)-Br bond and ultimately delivering the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond in high yields.

- Visible-light-induced formation of thiavinyl 1,3-dipoles: A metal-free [3+2] oxidative cyclization with alkynes as easy access to thiophenes
-
A visible-light-induced [3+2] oxidative cyclization of various alkynes with easily available ketene dithioacetals as the previously unknown thiavinyl 1,3-dipoles in the presence of an acridine photosensitizer is reported. A series of multisubstituted thiophenes were achieved regioselectively in ≤98% yields under very mild metal-free conditions without other additives. This reaction could tolerate a wide range of substrates and achieve good efficiency in large-scale syntheses. The reaction mechanism and their applications are described in detail to reveal the reactivity of the new 1,3-dipoles and the selectivity of the reactions.

- Visible-Light-Mediated Divergent Silylfunctionalization of Alkenes
-
1,2-Silylfunctionalization of alkenes is an efficient way to construct highly functionalized silicon-containing compounds. However, examples of 1,2-silylfunctionalization of alkenes using readily available hydrosilanes are limited. Herein, we present a visible-light-mediated divergent 1,2-silylfunctionalization of alkenes using hydrosilane under ambient conditions. A series of β-Alkoxy, β-Alkylthio, β-hydroxy, and β-indolyl silanes was obtained in good to excellent yields. Moreover, vinylsilanes were successfully prepared in the absence of an additional nucleophile.

- Direct Nucleophilic Substitution of Alcohols Using an Immobilized Oxovanadium Catalyst
-
Direct nucleophilic substitution of alcohols with thiols or carbon nucleophiles was achieved using a mesoporous silica-supported oxovanadium catalyst (VMPS4). Benzyl and allyl alcohols were compatible in this reaction under mild conditions, affording the products in high yields. The VMPS4 catalyst showed excellent chemoselectivity toward alcohols in the presence of acid-labile functional groups, which is in contrast to that observed for the commonly used Lewis acid catalysts, which exhibit poor selectivity. The VMPS4 catalyst could be recycled by simple centrifugation, and the catalytic activity was maintained over seven cycles.

- Selective Construction of C?C and C=C Bonds by Manganese Catalyzed Coupling of Alcohols with Phosphorus Ylides
-
Herein, we report the manganese catalyzed coupling of alcohols with phosphorus ylides. The selectivity in the coupling of primary alcohols with phosphorus ylides to form carbon-carbon single (C?C) and carbon-carbon double (C=C) bonds can be controlled by the ligands. In the conversion of more challenging secondary alcohols with phosphorus ylides the selectivity towards the formation of C?C vs. C=C bonds can be controlled by the reaction conditions, namely the amount of base. The scope and limitations of the coupling reactions were thoroughly evaluated by the conversion of 21 alcohols and 15 ylides. Notably, compared to existing methods, which are based on precious metal complexes as catalysts, the present catalytic system is based on earth abundant manganese catalysts. The reaction can also be performed in a sequential one-pot reaction generating the phosphorus ylide in situ followed manganese catalyzed C?C and C=C bond formation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C?C bond was generated via a borrowing hydrogen pathway and the C=C bond formation followed an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).

- Photochemical Strategy for Carbon Isotope Exchange with CO2
-
A photocatalytic approach for carbon isotope exchange is reported. Utilizing [13C]CO2 and [14C]CO2 as primary C1 sources, this protocol allows the insertion of the desired carbon isotope into phenyl acetic acids without the need for structural modifications or prefunctionalization in one single step. The exceptionally mild conditions required for this traceless transformation are in stark contrast with those for previous methods requiring the use of harsh thermal conditions.

- Room temperature depolymerization of lignin using a protic and metal based ionic liquid system: an efficient method of catalytic conversion and value addition
-
Lignin is one of the most abundant biopolymer which can be utilized to synthesize various chemicalsviaits depolymerization. However, depolymerization of lignin generally occurs under very harsh conditions. Herein, we report the efficient depolymerization of ligninviadissolution in a mixed ionic liquid system: ethyl ammonium nitrate (EAN) + prolinium tetrachloromanganate(ii) [Pro]2[MnCl4] at 35 °C and under atmospheric pressure conditions. The high dissolution of lignin in ethyl ammonium nitrate provided a large number of H-bonding sites leading to the cracking of lignin and subsequent oxidative conversion by [Pro]2[MnCl4]viathe formation of metal-oxo bonding between Mn and lignin molecules. The extracted yield of vanillin was found to be 18-20% on lignin weight basisviaGC-MS analysis. The depolymerization of lignin was confirmed by SEM, FT-IR and PXRD analysis. Since lignin contains UV-absorbing functional groups, the regenerated biomass after the recovery of the depolymerized products was further utilized to synthesize a UV-shielding material. The constructed films from such a material exhibited a high SPF value of 22 and were found to be very effective by limiting the UV degradation of rhodamine B thus making the lignin valorization process economically viable and environmentally sustainable.

- Selective Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Terminal Arylalkynes and Conjugated Enynes to (Poly)enals Enabled by a π-Acceptor Biphosphoramidite Ligand
-
The hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and enynes offers a straightforward synthetic route to the valuable (poly)enals. However, the hydroformylation of terminal alkynes has remained a long-standing challenge. Herein, an efficient and selective Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal arylalkynes and conjugated enynes has been achieved by using a new stable biphosphoramidite ligand with strong π-acceptor capacity, which affords various important E-(poly)enals in good yields with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity at low temperatures and low syngas pressures.

- Beyond Takai's Olefination Reagent: Persistent Dehalogenation Emerges in a Chromium(III)-μ3-Methylidyne Complex
-
Reaction of CHI3 with six equivalents of CrCl2 in THF at low temperatures affords [Cr3Cl3(μ2-Cl)3(μ3-CH)(thf)6] as the first isolable high-yield CrIII μ3-methylidyne complex. Substitution of the terminal chlorido ligands via salt metathesis with alkali-metal cyclopentadienides generates isostructural half-sandwich chromium(III)-μ3-methylidynes [CpR3Cr3(μ2-Cl)3(μ3-CH)] (CpR=C5H5, C5Me5, C5H4SiMe3). Side and decomposition products of the Cl/CpR exchange reactions were identified and structurally characterized for [Cr4(μ2-Cl)4(μ2-I)2(μ4-O)(thf)4] and [(η5-C5H4SiMe3)CrCl(μ2-Cl)2Li(thf)2]. The Cl/CpR exchange drastically changed the ambient-temperature effective magnetic moment μeff from 9.30/9.11 μB (solution/solid) to 3.63/4.32 μB (CpR=C5Me5). Reactions of [Cr3Cl3(μ2-Cl)3(μ3-CH)(thf)6] with aldehydes and ketones produce intricate mixtures of species through oxy/methylidyne exchange, which were partially identified as radical recombination products through GC/MS analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy.

- Cascade Reductive Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Catalyzed by Robust Iridium(III) Hydride Complexes Containing a Protic Triazolylidene Ligand
-
The synthesis of complex molecules like active pharmaceutical ingredients typically requires multiple single-step reactions, in series or in a modular fashion, with laborious purification and potentially unstable intermediates. Cascade processes offer attractive synthetic remediation as they reduce time, energy, and waste associated with multistep syntheses. For example, triarylmethanes are traditionally prepared via several synthetic steps, and only a handful of cascade routes are known with limitations due to high catalyst loadings. Here, we present an expedient catalytic cascade process to produce triarylmethanes. For this purpose, we have developed a bifunctional iridium system as the efficient catalyst to build heterotriaryl synthons via reductive Friedel-Crafts alkylation from ketones, arenes, and hydrogen. The catalytically active species were generated in situ from a robust triazolyl iridium(III) hydride complex and acid and is composed of a metal-bound hydride and a proximal ligand-bound proton for reversible dihydrogen release. These complexes catalyze the direct hydrogenation of ketones at slow rates followed by dehydration. Appropriate adjustment of the conditions successfully intercepts this dehydration and leads instead to efficient C-C coupling and Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The scope of this cascade process includes a variety of carbonyl substrates such as aldehydes, (alkyl)(aryl)ketones, and diaryl ketones as precursor electrophiles with arenes and heteroarenes for Friedel-Crafts coupling. The reported method has been validated in a swift one-step synthesis of the core structure of a potent antibacterial agent. Excellent yields and exquisite selectivities were achieved for this cascade process with unprecedentedly low iridium loadings (0.02 mol %). Moreover, the catalytic activity of the protic system is significantly higher than that of an N-methylated analogue, confirming the benefit of the Ir-H/N-H hydride-proton system for high catalytic performance.

- Self-Assembled Open Porous Nanoparticle Superstructures
-
Imparting porosity to inorganic nanoparticle assemblies to build up self-assembled open porous nanoparticle superstructures represents one of the most challenging issues and will reshape the property and application scope of traditional inorganic nanoparticle solids. Herein, we discovered how to engineer open pores into diverse ordered nanoparticle superstructures via their inclusion-induced assembly within 1D nanotubes, akin to the molecular host-guest complexation. The open porous structure of self-assembled composites is generated from nonclose-packing of nanoparticles in 1D confined space. Tuning the size ratios of the tube-to-nanoparticle enables the structural modulation of these porous nanoparticle superstructures, with symmetries such as C1, zigzag, C2, C4, and C5. Moreover, when the internal surface of the nanotubes is blocked by molecular additives, the nanoparticles would switch their assembly pathway and self-assemble on the external surface of the nanotubes without the formation of porous nanoparticle assemblies. We also show that the open porous nanoparticle superstructures can be ideal candidate for catalysis with accelerated reaction rates.

- Site-Selective Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Aliphatics Enabled by Organophotoredox/Cobalt Dual Catalysis
-
The value of catalytic dehydrogenation of aliphatics (CDA) in organic synthesis has remained largely underexplored. Known homogeneous CDA systems often require the use of sacrificial hydrogen acceptors (or oxidants), precious metal catalysts, and harsh reaction conditions, thus limiting most existing methods to dehydrogenation of non- or low-functionalized alkanes. Here we describe a visible-light-driven, dual-catalyst system consisting of inexpensive organophotoredox and base-metal catalysts for room-temperature, acceptorless-CDA (Al-CDA). Initiated by photoexited 2-chloroanthraquinone, the process involves H atom transfer (HAT) of aliphatics to form alkyl radicals, which then react with cobaloxime to produce olefins and H2. This operationally simple method enables direct dehydrogenation of readily available chemical feedstocks to diversely functionalized olefins. For example, we demonstrate, for the first time, the oxidant-free desaturation of thioethers and amides to alkenyl sulfides and enamides, respectively. Moreover, the system's exceptional site selectivity and functional group tolerance are illustrated by late-stage dehydrogenation and synthesis of 14 biologically relevant molecules and pharmaceutical ingredients. Mechanistic studies have revealed a dual HAT process and provided insights into the origin of reactivity and site selectivity.

- Poisoning effect of N-containing compounds on performance of Raney nickel in transfer hydrogenation
-
The effect of amines, imines and heterocycle compounds on conversion has been studied in transfer hydrogenation of camphor and 2-PrOH catalyzed by Raney nickel. Small amount (5 mol% to nickel) of N-containing compound significantly decreases catalyst activity. It has been shown that the poisoning effect mostly depends on molecular size of amines and heterocyclic compounds. For aniline and cyclohexylamine the dependence of camphor conversion on poison/nickel ratio was obtained. Additionally, benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde demonstrated higher reactivity compared corresponding imines under transfer hydrogenation conditions. Obtained data explain low activity of nickel-based catalysts when N-containing compounds are presented in reaction mixture.

- 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.

- Norrish type II reactions of acyl azolium salts
-
The photochemical reactivity of acyl azolium salts derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids has been investigated. These species, which serve as models for intermediates generated in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, undergo Norrish type II elimination reactions under irradiation with UVA light in analogy to structurally related aromatic ketones. Moreover, efficient Norrish-Yang cyclization was observed from an adamantyl-substituted derivative. These results further demonstrate the ability of NHCs to influence the absorption properties and photochemical reactivity of carbonyl groups during a catalytic cycle.

- Olefination via Cu-Mediated Dehydroacylation of Unstrained Ketones
-
The dehydroacylation of ketones to olefins is realized under mild conditions, which exhibits a unique reaction pathway involving aromatization-driven C-C cleavage to remove the acyl moiety, followed by Cu-mediated oxidative elimination to form an alkene between the α and β carbons. The newly adopted N′-methylpicolinohydrazonamide (MPHA) reagent is key to enable efficient cleavage of ketone C-C bonds at room temperature. Diverse alkyl- and aryl-substituted olefins, dienes, and special alkenes are generated with broad functional group tolerance. Strategic applications of this method are also demonstrated.
