Functionalized nanocellulose was prepared and employed for immobilization of phenanthroline-copper(I) complex to afford cellulose nanofibril grafted heterogeneous copper catalyst [CNF-phen-Cu(I)]. This nanocatalyst was well characterized using FT-IR, NMR, XRD, CHNS, AAS, TGA, EDX and SEM. The activities of the synthesized catalyst were examined in the synthesis of diaryl ethers via C-O cross-coupling of phenols and aryl iodides, as well as, the preparation of N-aryl amides and N-aryl heterocycles through C-N cross-coupling of amides and N-H heterocycle compounds with aryl halides. In this trend, various substrates containing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups were exploited to evaluate the generality of this catalytic protocol. Accordingly, the catalyst demonstrated remarkable catalytic efficiency for both C-N and C-O cross-coupling reactions, thereby resulting in good to excellent yields of the desired products. Furthermore, the recoverability experiments of the catalyst showed that it can be readily retrieved by simple filtration and successfully reused several times with negligible loss of its catalytic activity.

The Pd-catalyzed etherification of nitroarenes with arenols has been achieved using a new rationally designed ligand. Mechanistic insights were used to design the ligand so that both the oxidative addition and reductive elimination steps of a plausible catalytic cycle were facilitated. The catalytic system established here provides direct access to a range of unsymmetrical diaryl ethers from nitroarenes.

We report a one-step procedure to directly reduce unactivated aryl esters into their corresponding tolyl derivatives. This is achieved by an organosilane-mediated ester hydrosilylation reaction and subsequent Ni/NHC-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The resulting conditions provide a direct and efficient alternative to multi-step procedures for this transformation that often require the use of hazardous metal hydrides. Applications in the synthesis of -CD3-containing products, derivatization of bioactive molecules, and chemoselective reduction in the presence of other C-O bonds are demonstrated.
