Functionalization of C[dbnd]C bonds by oxidative cleavage plays an important role in organic synthesis. However, the traditional functionalized products are mainly aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids, and the substrates are limited to examples of active aromatic olefins with very scarce inactive olefins. Herein we disclose an efficient protocol for the direct formation of esters by oxidative cleavage of C[dbnd]C bonds using heterogeneous iron nanocomposite catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon materials with molecular oxygen and tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidants. The results show that molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant is mainly responsible for the cleavage process, and that the auxiliary oxidant TBHP promotes the formation of the intermediate epoxide, thus increasing the selectivity of the product. The catalytic system has a wide range of substrate compatibility involving the challenging inactive aliphatic and long-chain alkyl aryl olefins. The catalyst was reused seven times with no loss in catalytic activity. Characterization and control experiments uncover that the core-shell Fe and Fe3C nanoparticles encapsulated by graphitic carbon play a predominant role in catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of olefins to esters. Preliminary mechanistic studies disclose that this process involves both free radical reactions and tandem sequential reactions.

In order to develop the high-temperature-released pyrrole aroma, two novel flavors precursors of methyl 2-methyl-5-(((2-methylbutanoyl)oxy)methyl)-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate and methyl 2-methyl-5-(((2-methylbutanoyl)oxy)methyl)-1-propyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate were synthesized using glucosamine hydrochloride and methyl acetoacetate as raw materials through cyclization, oxidation, alkylation, reduction, and esterification. The target compounds were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 13C NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and the pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) methods were used to analyze the heating-stability of the target compounds, and the pyrolysis mechanism was inferred. Py-GC/MS results indicated that some fragrance compounds were formed during?thermal degradation such as 2-methylbutyric acid, 2-methylbutyrate, alkylpyrroles, and benzoic acid, which were important aroma components or flavor additives. This provided a theoretical reference for the application of pyrrole ester in cigarette and heat-processed food flavoring.

The photocatalytic carboxylation of aryl derivatives was demonstrated under CO2at atmospheric pressure using a mesoporous covalent organic framework (COF) as the active photocatalyst with triethylamine (TEA) as a sacrificial electron source under visible light. A yield of greater than 91% of the isolated product was achieved with 5 mg of catalyst. The reaction cycle is dependent on the use of the Ni(dmg)2co-catalyst and the sacrificial electron donor (TEA). The reaction does not occur in the absence of light (445 nm) even at elevated reaction temperature. We have also demonstrated that a yield of 32% of the isolated product could be obtained with the use of sunlight in the catalytic cycle. Additionally, this heterogeneous catalytic system was recyclable and reusable for several cycles.
