Considering the excellent performance of halloysite as a catalyst support and in an attempt to benefit from the concept of nanoreactors in the catalysis, an innovative catalytic system has been designed, in which acrylamide and bis-acrylamide were photo-p

The electrochemical behavior of a series of S-phenacyl-O-ethyl-xanthates (O-ethyl-dithiocarbonate acetophenone derivatives) in hydroalcoholic (MeOH/H2O 4:1) and anhydrous media (ACN/TBAPF6) using carbon electrodes was studied. Cyclic voltammetry showed in hydroalcoholic media only two cathodic waves, whereas in ACN one anodic and two cathodic waves were present. The first cathodic wave corresponded to the reduction of the phenylketone group, whereas the first anodic was attributed to the xanthate unit. Macroelectrolysis on graphite and vitreous carbon at anodic and cathodic potentials, let us to explore the synthetic potential of this electrochemical reactions. With some compounds in hydroalcoholic media and using carbon electrodes, polymeric material was deposited on the electrode impeding the reaction; this deposit was characterized by AFM and SEM-EDS. The electroreduction on Ti electrode overcome this problem and gave the corresponding acetophenones (>95%). On the other hand, in ACN, small quantities of the dimeric 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds X-PhCOCH2CH2COPh-X (7–15%), as well as the corresponding acetophenones (ca. 50%) were isolated. Oxidation macroelectrolysis showed a very complicated transformation without synthetic value. The reaction mechanism for the reduction and the homolytic dissociation into the phenacyl radical was supported by DFT calculations.

An efficient and sustainable protocol for the hydration of alkynes has been developed under metal/acid/catalyst/ligand-free conditions in a water/ethyl lactate mixture. The hydrogen-bond network in the ethyl lactate and water mixture plays a crucial and decisive role in activating the alkynes for hydration to afford the corresponding methyl ketones. This strategy gives the Markovnikov (ketone) addition product selectively over other possible products. The essential role of hydrogen bonding has been confirmed by experimental and theoretical techniques. A probable mechanism has been suggested by various control tests. The efficacy of the method has been further explored for the competent production of value-added α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the reaction of aldehydes with alkynes as ketonic surrogates. The environmentally benign hydration method takes place under mild conditions, has broad functional-group compatibility, and uses the ethyl lactate/water (1:3) medium as a “green alternative” in the absence of any hazardous, harmful, or expensive substances.

Pd/ZrO2and PdO/ZrO2composites, containing Pd or PdO nanoparticles, were prepared using an original one-step methodology. These nanocomposites catalyze the hydrogenation of acetophenone (AP) at 1 bar and 10 bar of H2in an aqueous solution. Compared to unsupported Pd or PdO nanoparticles, a remarkable increase in their activity was achieved as a result of interaction with zirconia. An unsupported PdO hydrogenated AP mainly to ethylbenzene (EB), while excellent regioselectivity towards 1-phenylethanol (PE) was obtained with PdO/ZrO2and it was preserved during recycling. Similarly, regioselectivity to PE was higher with Pd/ZrO2compared to unsupported Pd NPs. PdO and zirconia resulted in high selectivity to alcohols in the hydrogenation of substituted acetophenones.
