- Selective electrochemical oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and preparation of mono/multi-carbonyl compounds
-
A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

- Decatungstate-mediated solar photooxidative cleavage of CC bonds using air as an oxidant in water
-
With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

- 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.

Bismuth subnitrate is reported herein as a simple and efficient catalyst for the atom-economical synthesis of methyl ketones via Markovnikov-type alkyne hydration. Besides an effective batch process under reasonably mild conditions, a chemically intensified continuous flow protocol was also developed in a packed-bed system. The applicability of the methodologies was demonstrated through hydration of a diverse set of terminal acetylenes. By simply switching the reaction medium from methanol to methanol-d4, valuable trideuteromethyl ketones were also prepared. Due to the ready availability and nontoxicity of the heterogeneous catalyst, which eliminated the need for any special additives and/or harmful reagents, the presented processes display significant advances in terms of practicality and sustainability.

- Photoredox-Catalysis-Modulated, Nickel-Catalyzed Divergent Difunctionalization of Ethylene
-
Divergent synthesis that enables a catalytic reaction to selectively produce different products from common substrates will allow the charting of wider chemical space and the unveiling of distinct mechanistic paradigms. A common strategy for it employs different ligands to modulate organometallic catalysts. Dramatic developments in photocatalysis have enabled previously inaccessible transformations. In particular, photoredox catalysis modulates the oxidation state of transition-metal complexes, offering enormous opportunities for methodology development. Herein, we developed a photo-mediated divergent ethylene difunctionalization via modulating oxidation states of the nickel catalyst by using different photoredox catalysts. This work will inspire new perspectives for value-added chemical synthesis using ethylene as a feedstock and shed light on photoredox-catalyst-based divergent synthesis, which fundamentally differs from ligand-controlled transition-metal catalysis.Divergent synthesis represents a powerful strategy for directly accessing different molecular scaffolds originating from the same starting materials. Access to different end products via transition-metal catalysis is conventionally achieved by ligand control. We herein demonstrate the use of ethylene feedstock and commercially available aryl halides to accomplish the divergent synthesis of 1,2-diarylethanes, 1,4-diarylbutanes, or 2,3-diarylbutanes in a highly selective fashion through the synergistic combination of nickel and photoredox catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the observed selectivity was due to different active states of Ni(I) and Ni(0) modulated by Ru- and Ir-based photoredox catalysts, respectively. The ability to access different organometallic oxidation states via photoredox catalysis promises to inspire new perspectives for synergistic transition-metal-catalyzed divergent synthesis.Functionalization of ethylene without polymerization is challenging under photo-irradiation conditions. We have demonstrated that the photo-transformation of ethylene can be controllable by merging photoredox and transition-metal catalysis. In our study, the use of different photoredox catalysts was able to modulate the oxidation state of the nickel catalyst. Through different oxidation states, the nickel-catalyzed couplings proceeded via distinct pathways to generate divergent ethylene difunctionalization products selectively from the same feedstock.

Selective oxidation of olefin derivatives to ketones has made innovative development over palladium(0) supported on reduced graphene oxide. Compared to traditional Wacker oxidation, the novel method offers an economical and environment-friendly option by using graphene oxide (GO) as a ‘solid weak acid’ instead of classical homogeneous catalysts like H2SO4 and CF3COOH. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy images of Pd0/RGO showed that the nanoscaled Pd particles generated at the flake structure of reduced graphene oxide. Under optimized condition, up to 44 kinds of ketones with different structures can be prepared with excellent yields.

- Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes Using Ethanol Catalyzed by a NCP Pincer Iridium Complex: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.

- Synergetic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone catalyzed by manganese(II) complexes bearing pendant iodophenyl groups
-
Five tetradentate ligands, L1–5, bearing the moiety of bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine (1) and their complexes with Mn(II) were prepared. All the compounds and metal complexes were appropriately characterized. The five manganese(II) complexes (3a–e) are of the formula, [Mn(II)LxCl2] (x = 1-5), as suggested by the crystal structure of complexes 3b and 3c. All the ligands except for L3 possess two iodobenzene groups via an ether linkage (except for L1) with various lengths. By using oxone as an oxidant, the catalytic activity of these complexes on the oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone in acetonitrile/water at room temperature was studied. Our results showed that the pendant iodophenyl groups play a synergetic role with the metal center in the catalysis, and complex 3b possesses the most appropriate length of the linkage between the iodobenzene group and the metal center. EPR and FTIR data suggest that the metal center of the active species should be Mn(IV) after the oxidation of oxone under the reaction conditions. A catalytic mechanism was also proposed based on the experimental observations.

This gold particles supported mesoporous silica was fabricated from AuPPh3Cl under mild conditions and characterized through transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray power diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. Interestingly, it was observed that this gold nanoparticle was effective to the hydration of alkynes and dehydrogenation of alcohols. The catalytic system can tolerate a variety of functional groups to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields.

- Domino Methylenation/Hydrogenation of Aldehydes and Ketones by Combining Matsubara's Reagent and Wilkinson's Catalyst
-
The methylenation/hydrogenation cascade reaction of aldehydes or ketones through a domino process involving two ensuing steps in a single pot is realized. The compatibility of Matsubara's reagent and Wilkinson's complex give a combination that allows, under dihydrogen, the transformation of a carbonyl function into a methyl group. This new method is suitable to introduce an ethyl motif from aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with total chemoselectivity and total retention of α-stereochemical purity. The developed procedure is also extended to the introduction of methyl groups from ketones.

- A Pd-Cu2O nanocomposite as an effective synergistic catalyst for selective semi-hydrogenation of the terminal alkynes only
-
A new type lead-free catalyst of a Pd-Cu2O nanocomposite was developed for highly selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes. With unprecedented selectivity for the semi-hydrogenation of terminal alkynes to alkenes, we show for the first time that the catalyst only hydrogenated the terminal alkynes, i.e. did not hydrogenate the internal alkynes.

- Ketone synthesis method through alkyne hydrolysis
-
The invention discloses a ketone synthesis method through alkyne hydrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: adding alkyne, a catalyst [(IPr)AuCl], a solvent methanol, and water into a reactor, carrying out reactions for several hours at a temperature of 110 to 120 DEG C, cooling to the room temperature, carrying out rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and performing column separation to obtain target compounds. Compared with conventional ionic gold catalyst, the provided method directly uses gold chloride [(IPr)AuCl] as the catalyst, alkyne is hydrolyzed into ketone, the yield is high, the selectivity is complete, and thus the method has an important meaning for organic synthesis and environment protection.

- An environmentally benign hydration of alkynes catalyzed by gallic acid/tannic acid in water
-
A gallic acid catalyzed hydration strategy from alkynes under mild conditions has been developed. The catalyst system exhibits excellent activity, thus avoiding the use of any transition metal, strong acids or other toxic reagent as cocatalysts. Recycling experiments were conducted, and this procedure can be scaled up. Other tannins such as tannic acid can also be applied in this reaction which shows the potential utilization of natural feedstocks.

- Continuous-flow hydrogenation of olefins and nitrobenzenes catalyzed by platinum nanoparticles dispersed in an amphiphilic polymer
-
A method for the flow hydrogenation of olefins and nitrobenzenes in a continuous-flow reactor containing platinum nanoparticles dispersed on an amphiphilic polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) resin (ARP-Pt) was developed. The hydrogenation of olefins and nitrobenzenes was completed within 31 seconds in the continuous-flow system containing ARP-Pt, giving the corresponding hydrogenated products in up to 99% yield with good chemoselectivity. Moreover, long-term (63-70 h) continuous-flow hydrogenation of styrene and nitrobenzene produced more than ten grams of ethylbenzene and aniline, respectively, without significant loss of catalytic activity. The flow hydrogenation system provides an efficient and practical method for the chemoselective reduction of olefins and nitrobenzenes. This journal is

- 5-Aryl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids as selective inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrases IX and XII
-
Inhibitory activity of a congeneric set of 23 phenyl-substituted 5-phenyl-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids toward human carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms I, II, IX and XII was evaluated by a stopped-flow CO2 hydrase assay. These compounds exerted a clear, selective inhibition of hCA IX and XII over hCAI and II, with Ki in two to one digit micromolar concentrations (4-50 μM). Derivatives bearing bulkier substituents in para-position of the phenyl ring inhibited hCA XII at one-digit micromolar concentrations, while derivatives having alkyl substituents in both ortho- and meta-positions inhibited hCA IX with Kis ranging between 5 and 25 μM. Results of docking experiments offered a rational explanation on the selectivity of these compounds toward CA IX and XII, as well as on the substitution patterns leading to best CA IX or CA XII inhibitors. By examining the active sites of these four isoforms with GRID generated molecular-interaction fields, striking differences between hCA XII and the other three isoforms were observed. The field of hydrophobic probe (DRY) appeared significantly different in CA XII active site, comparing to other three isoforms studied. To the best of our knowledge such an observation was not reported in literature so far. Considering the selectivity of these carboxylates towards membrane-associated over cytosolic CA isoforms, the title compounds could be useful for the development of isoform-specific non-sulfonamide CA inhibitors.

- Synthesis of a-Alkylated Ketones via Tandem Acceptorless Dehydrogenation/a-Alkylation from Secondary and Primary Alcohols Catalyzed by Metal-Ligand Bifunctional Iridium Complex [CpIr(2,2′-bpyO)(H2O)]
-
A new strategy for the synthesis of α-alkylated ketones via tandem acceptorless dehydrogenation/α-alkylation from secondary and primary alcohols was proposed and accomplished. In the presence of metal-ligand bifunctional iridium complex [CpIr(2,2′-bpyO)(H2O)], various desirable products were obtained in high yields. Compared with previous methods for the direct dehydrogenative coupling of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols to α-alkylated ketones, this protocol has obvious advantages including complete selectivity for α-alkylated ketones and more environmentally benign conditions. Notably, the study also exhibited the potential to develop tandem reactions catalyzed using a metal-ligand bifunctional iridium complex.

- Green photocatalytic organic transformations by polyoxometalates vs. mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles: Selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols
-
In this study, the catalytic activity of decatungstate (W10O324-) supported on mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticle assemblies (DT-MTA) was compared with that of homogeneous [Bu4N]4W10O32 catalysts under mild conditions. Our experiments showed that both catalytic systems achieve exceptionally high activity and selectivity under UV-visible light oxidation of various para-substituted aryl alcohols, using molecular oxygen as a "green" oxidant. The chemoselective transformation of aryl alcohols into the corresponding ketones was investigated with gas chromatography (GC) and NMR spectroscopy. Product analysis and kinetic results also indicated that these photooxidation reactions proceed via both electron transfer (ET) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanisms over the DT-MTA catalyst, with the former one as the predominant, whereas a HAT route was adopted to account for the decatungstate homogeneous catalyzed reactions.

- Hydration of alkynes at room temperature catalyzed by gold(I) isocyanide compounds
-
An effective method using gold(I) isocyanide complexes as catalysts for the transformation of various alkynes to the corresponding ketones is successfully developed. The hydration process proceeds smoothly at room temperature with quite high yield (up to 99%). The catalytic center is the isocyanide-Au(I)+ cation. Further theoretical research reveals a direct hydration mechanism by H2O, and the rate-determining step has an energy barrier of 23.7 kcal mol?1. These results show a good example to reduce unnecessary steps and achieve milder reaction conditions at the same time for the hydration of alkynes.

- Regioselective hydration of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a neutral gold(I) complex [(IPr)AuCl] and one-pot synthesis of optically active secondary alcohols from terminal alkynes by the combination of [(IPr)AuCl] and Cp?RhCl[(R, R)-TsDPEN]
-
A neutral gold(I) complex [(IPr)AuCl] (IPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the hydration of terminal alkynes, including aromatic alkynes and aliphatic alkynes. The desired methyl ketones were obtained in high yields with complete regioselectivities. Furthermore, a series of optically active secondary alcohols could be obtained in high yield with good to excellent enatioselectivities via one-pot sequential hydration/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) from terminal alkynes by the combination of of [(IPr)AuCl] and Cp?RhCl[(R,R)-TsDPEN] (Cp? = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, TsDPEN = N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine). Notably, this research exhibited the potential of the direct use of neutral gold(I) complexes instead of cationic ones as catalysts for the activation of multiple bonds for organic synthesis.
