We herein report the fabrication of a bifunctional iron nanocomposite catalyst, in which two catalytically active sites of Fe-Nx and Fe phosphate, as oxidation and Lewis acid sites, were simultaneously integrated into a hierarchical N,P-dual doped porous carbon. As a bifunctional catalyst, it exhibited high efficiency for direct oxidative cleavage of alkenes into ketones or their oxidation into 1,2-diketones with a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance using TBHP as the oxidant in water under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, it could be easily recovered for successive recycling without appreciable loss of activity. Mechanistic studies disclose that the direct oxidation of alkenes proceeds via the formation of an epoxide as intermediate followed by either acid-catalyzed Meinwald rearrangement to give ketones with one carbon shorter or nucleophilic ring-opening to generate 1,2-diketones in a cascade manner. This study not only opens up a fancy pathway in the rational design of Fe-N-C catalysts but also offers a simple and efficient method for accessing industrially important ketones and 1,2-diketones from alkenes in a cost-effective and environmentally benign fashion.

A practical, general and mild oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds proceeds in yields of up to 99% using SO2F2 as electrophile in DMSO as both the oxidant and the solvent at ambient temperature. No moisture- and oxygen-free conditions are required. Stoichiometric amount of inexpensive K2CO3, which generates easy to separate by-products, is used as the base. Thus, 5-gram scale runs proceeded in nearly quantitative yields by a simple filtration as the work-up. The use of a polar solvent such as DMSO, which usually promotes competing Pummerer rearrangement, is also noteworthy. This protocol is compatible with a variety of common N-, O-, and S-functional groups on (hetero)arene, alkene and alkyne substrates (68 examples). The protocol was applied (99% yield) to a formal synthesis of the important cholesterol-lowering drug Rosuvastatin. (Figure presented.).

A new transition-metal-free one-pot cascade process for the direct conversion of alcohols to nitriles was developed without introducing an “additional carbon atom”. This protocol allows transformations of readily available, inexpensive, and abundant alcohols to highly valuable nitriles.
