Abstract The potential of a hydrogen-based energy economy is limited by the fact that hydrogen gas is difficult to store and transport. Storing hydrogen in the form of liquid organic hydrogen-carriers (LOHCs) is a highly attractive alternative to current options but it requires the development of catalytic means of reversibly hydrogenating and dehydrogenating these carriers under mild conditions and ideally using a single catalyst for both processes. We report the optimization of two families of previously reported hydrogenation catalysts for the reverse reaction, dehydrogenation of N-heterocyclic substrates. These complexes are capable of catalyzing both dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions in alternation, giving high yields in both directions. Importantly, our complexes do not require high temperatures, high pressures of H2 or strong base for the hydrogenation step.

We herein report that MoS2 with oxygen-implanting modification (O-MoS2) can work as a multifunctional catalyst to achieve the one-pot quinoline synthesis from basic nitroarenes and aliphatic alcohols. Different from common knowledge that the application of MoS2-based catalysts and above quinoline synthesis need anaerobic conditions, we conduct the heterogeneous catalysis under an unusual air atmosphere. Catalyst characterization and experimental results indicate that the MoOx clusters implanted in the MoS2 skeleton, not the coordinatively unsaturated Mo sites (CUS Mo), dominate the generation of quinolines. By overturning the catalysis perception that O2 adsorption on MoSx can deactivate the MoS2-based catalysts using an efficient method for in situ healing of the MoOx structure in O-MoS2 and protecting the O-MoS2 catalyst by inhibiting unwanted MoOx elimination with extra H*, we innovatively introduce O2 into the quinoline synthesis. The robust O-MoS2 can be consecutively used ten times without regeneration and it offers 69-75% yields of 2-methylquinoline from nitrobenzene and ethanol. Furthermore, different from the traditional transfer hydrogenation-condensation mechanism, an integrated oxidation-transfer hydrogenation-cyclization mechanism is proposed over the O-MoS2 catalyst.

N-doped porous carbon (NC) was synthesized from sugar cane bagasse, which is a sustainable and widely available biomass waste. The preferred NC sample had a well-developed porous structure, a graphene-like surface morphology and different N species. More

The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.
