- Single-Cell-Based Screening and Engineering of d -Amino Acid Amidohydrolases Using Artificial Amidophenol Substrates and Microbial Biosensors
-
Enantiomerically pure d-amino acids are important intermediates as chiral building blocks for peptidomimetics and semisynthetic antibiotics. Here, a transcriptional factor-based screening strategy was used for the rapid screening of d-stereospecific amino acid amidase via an enzyme-specific amidophenol substrate. We used a d-threonine amidophenyl derivative to produce 2-aminophenol that serves as a putative enzyme indicator in the presence of d-threonine amidases. Comparative analyses of known bacterial species indicated that several Bacillus strains produce amidase and form putative indicators in culture media. The estimated amidase was cloned and subjected to rapid directed evolution through biosensor cells. Consequently, we characterized the F119A mutation that significantly improved the catalytic activity toward d-alanine, d-threonine, and d-glutamate. Its beneficial effects were confirmed by higher conversions and recurrent applications of the mutant enzyme, compared to the wild-type. This study showed that rapid directed evolution with biosensors coupled to designed substrates is useful to develop biocatalytic processes.

- Industrial Cunninghamia lanceolata carbon supported FeO(OH) nanoparticles-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitroarenes
-
The development of green and efficient methods for hydrogenation of nitroarenes is still highly demanding in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an industrial Cunninghamia lanceolata carbon supported FeO(OH) nanoparticles process for the synthesis of aryl amines with good yields via hydrogenation of nitroarenes. Nine key anti-cancer drug intermediates were successfully achieved with protocol. And Osimertinib intermediate 4m can be smoothly synthesized at a 2.67 kg-scale with >99.5% HPLC purity.

- A DFT and experimental study of the spectroscopic and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of some benzylideneanilines
-
The spectroscopic and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of some N-benzylideneanilines are investigated experimentally and theoretically via high quality density function theoretical (DFT) modelling techniques. Their absorption and vibrational spectra, accurately predicted by DFT calculations, are highly dependent on the nature of the substituents on the aromatic rings, hence, though some of their spectroscopic features are similar, energetic differences exist due to differences in their electronic structures. Whereas the o-hydroxy aniline derived adducts undergo hydrolysis via two pathways, the most energetically economical of which is initiated by a fast enthalpy driven hydration, over a conservative free energy (ΔG?) barrier of 53 kJ mol?1, prior to the rate limiting entropy controlled lysis step which occurs via a conservative barrier of ca.132 kJ mol?1, all other compounds hydrolyse via a slower two-step pathway, limited by the hydration step. Barriers heights for both pathways are controlled primarily by the structure and hence, stability of the transition states, all of which are cyclic for both pathways.

- Electrochemical-induced hydroxylation of aryl halides in the presence of Et3N in water
-
A thorough study of mild and environmentally friendly electrochemical-induced hydroxylation of aryl halides without a catalyst is presented. The best protocol consists of hydroxylation of different aryl iodides and aryl bromides by water solution in the presence of Et3N under air, affording the target phenols in good isolated yields. Moreover, aryl chlorides were successfully employed as substrates. This methodology also provides a direct pathway for the formation of deoxyphomalone, which displayed a significant anti-proliferation effect.

- Retro-aza-Michael reaction of an o-aminophenol adduct in protic solvents inspired by natural products
-
α,β-Unsaturated carbonyls are reactive group often found in bioactive small molecules. Their non-specific reaction with biomolecules can be the cause of the low efficacy and unexpected side-effects of the molecule. Accordingly, unprotected α,β-unsaturated carbonyls are not often found in drugs. Here, we report that o-aminophenol is a new masking group of α,β-unsaturated ketone, which is inspired by natural products saccharothriolides. o-Aminophenol adduct of α,β-unsaturated ketone, but not those of α,β-unsaturated amide or ester, undergoes a retro-Michael reaction to yield o-aminophenol and the Michael acceptor. This reaction was observed only in protic solvents, such as MeOH and aqueous MeOH. In contrast, o-anisidine was not eliminated from its Michael adduct. o-Aminophenol may be a promising masking tool of highly-reactive bioactive α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

- Regioselective Radical Arene Amination for the Concise Synthesis ofortho-Phenylenediamines
-
The formation of arene C-N bonds directly from C-H bonds is of great importance and there has been rapid recent development of methods for achieving this through radical mechanisms, often involving reactiveN-centered radicals. A major challenge associated with these advances is that of regiocontrol, with mixtures of regioisomeric products obtained in most protocols, limiting broader utility. We have designed a system that utilizes attractive noncovalent interactions between an anionic substrate and an incoming radical cation in order to guide the latter to the areneorthoposition. The anionic substrate takes the form of a sulfamate-protected aniline and telescoped cleavage of the sulfamate group after amination leads directly toortho-phenylenediamines, key building blocks for a range of medicinally relevant diazoles. Our method can deliver both free amines and monoalkyl amines allowing access to unsymmetrical, selectively monoalkylated benzimidazoles and benzotriazoles. As well as providing concise access to valuableortho-phenylenediamines, this work demonstrates the potential for utilizing noncovalent interactions to control positional selectivity in radical reactions.

- Method for catalytically synthesizing ortho-aminophenol
-
The invention provides a method for catalytically synthesizing ortho-aminophenol. The method comprises the following steps: taking sodium o-nitrophenolate as a reaction substrate and rhodium carbonyl chloride of superparamagnetic nanoparticle loaded ionic liquid as a catalyst, adding a solvent, introducing hydrogen, and carrying out reduction reaction for 1-10 hours under the conditions that the temperature is 50-80 DEG C and the pressure is 0.3-1.0 Mpa; after the reaction is finished, applying an external magnetic field to attract the catalyst, and then carrying out acidification, filtration, washing and vacuum drying on the reaction liquid to obtain ortho-aminophenol; and after the reaction is finished, simply recovering the catalyst through an external magnetic field. The recovered catalyst can be repeatedly used, and the activity is not obviously reduced. Compared with the traditional process, the method provided by the invention has the advantages of low reaction temperature, simple operation of a catalytic system, high yield, good reusability and good industrial prospect.

- Highly efficient N-doped carbon supported FeSx-Fe2O3 catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes via pyrolysis of sulfurized N,Fe-containing MOFs
-
Integrating MOFs as precursor, especially for employing N-containing organic linkers, with sulfides is an effective method to prepare the highly efficient N-doped carbon supported metal-based catalysts for hydrogenation of nitroarenes. In this work, a N,Fe-containing metal organic frameworks (MOFs; termed as MIL88-HMTA) with spindle-like structure was prepared via self-assembly method, in which hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) linker was introduced as N source. Subsequently, N-doped carbon supported FeSx-Fe2O3 catalyst (named FeSx-Fe2O3@CN) was fabricated upon the pyrolysis of sulfurized MIL88-HMTA. Catalytic experiments reveal that the FeSx-Fe2O3@CN delivered excellent performance for hydrogenation of nitroarenes in comparison with those of catalyst without sulfidation process (Fe2O3@CN) and conventional MIL88 derived catalyst (Fe2O3@C). The XRD, TEM, SEM/EDX, Raman, UV, and XPS analyses have revealed that the developed FeSx-Fe2O3@CN catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic efficiency was ascribed to synergistic effect between FeSx and Fe2O3 species, abundant structural defects, more Fe-Nx species, and strengthened decomposition ability of hydrazine hydrate (N2H4?H2O). Furthermore, the effect of sulfidation ratio (the mass ratio between thioacetamide and MIL88-HMTA) towards preparation of the developed FeSx-Fe2O3@CN on the catalytic activity of hydrogenation reaction was also systematically performed. Notably, the optimized catalyst (denoted as FeSx-Fe2O3@CN-8) exhibited unexpected performance and recyclability for hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild condition. The pyrolysis of sulfurized N-containing MOFs may present a facile approach for fabricating MOFs-derived N-doped carbon supported catalysts, which provides a potential application in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

- Magnetically‐recoverable Schiff base complex of Pd(II) immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aniline derivatives
-
Fe3O4@SiO2/Schiff base/Pd(II) is reported as a magnetically recoverable heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). In this regard, a small amount of the nanocatalyst (0.52?mol% Pd) and hydrazine hydrate, showing safe characteristics and perfect ability as the hydrogen donor, were added to the nitro substrates. The experiments described the successful reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalyst, due to its magnetic property, could be simply separated from the reaction mixture by a permanent magnet and reused in seven consecutive reactions without considerable loss in its activity. Moreover, the leaching of Pd was only 3.6% after the seventh run. Thus, the most striking feature of this method is to use a small amount of the magnetic nanocatalyst along with a cheap and safe hydrogen source to produce the important amine substances selectively, which makes the method economical, cheap, environmentally friendly, and simple.

- Highly porous copper-supported magnetic nanocatalysts: made of volcanic pumice textured by cellulose and applied for the reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives
-
Herein, a novel designed heterogeneous catalytic system constructed of volcanic pumice magnetic particles (VPMPs), cellulose (CLS) as a natural polymeric matrix, and copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) is presented. Also, to enhance the inherent magnetic property of VPMP, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have been prepared and incorporated in the structureviaanin situprocess. As its first and foremost excellent property, the designed composite is in great accordance with green chemistry principles because it contains natural ingredients. Another brilliant point in the architecture of the designed composite is the noticeable porosity of VPMP as the core of the composite structure (surface area: 84.473 m2g?1). This great porosity leads to the use of a small amount (0.05 g) of the particles for catalytic purposes. However, the main characterization methods, such as Fourier-transform infrared and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and electron microscopy, revealed that the spherical metallic particles (Fe and Cu oxides) were successfully distributed onto the surface of the VPMP and CLS matrices. Further, vibrating-sample magnetometer analysis confirmed the enhancement of the magnetic property (1.5 emu g?1) of the composite through the addition of Fe3O4nanoparticles. Further, the prepared (Fe3O4@VPMP/CLS-Cu) nanocomposite has been applied to facilitate the reduction reaction of hazardous nitrobenzene derivatives (NBDs) to their aniline analogs, with 98% conversion efficiency in eight minutes under mild conditions. Moreover, the good reusability of the catalytic system has been verified after recycling it ten times without any significant decrease in the performance.

- A novel water-dispersible and magnetically recyclable nickel nanoparticles for the one-pot reduction-Schiff base condensation of nitroarenes in pure water
-
In this work, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst called Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal was first synthesized, which was investigated as a bifunctional catalyst containing nickel functional groups. On the other hand, this Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst in aqueous solvents shows a very effective performance at ambient temperature for the nitroarene reduction reaction with sodium borohydride, for which NaBH4 is considered as a reducing agent. This is a novelty magnetic catalyst that was approved by various methods, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses. From the satisfactory results obtained from the reduction of nitrogen, this catalytic system is used for a one-pot protocol containing a reduction-Schiff base concentration of diverse nitroarenes. It was corroborated with the heterogeneous catalytic experiments on the one-pot tandem synthesis of imines from nitroarenes and aldehydes. Finally, the novel Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst could function as a more economically desirable and environmentally amicable in the catalysis field. The favorable products are acquired in good to high performance in the attendance of Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal as a bifunctional catalyst. This catalyst can be recycled up to six steps without losing a sharp drop.

- Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by CoCu Anchored on Nitrogen-doped Porous Carbon
-
The non-precious metal catalysts with high catalytic activity is extremely desirable but still full of challenges. In this paper, CoCu bimetal immobilized on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (CoCu-N-C) was prepared by an effective ligand-stabilized pyrolysis strategy. CoCu-N-C exhibited excellent catalytic efficiency for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes with ammonia borane as hydrogen source, which can be ascribed to the well dispersed metal nanoparticles, the synergetic interaction of CoCu bimetal and nitrogen-doped carbon. The durability and recyclability experiments of the recycled CoCu-N-C catalyst indicated that no obvious change in catalytic performance was observed after five consecutive cycles. To gain insight into the catalytic mechanism of CoCu-N-C for the hydrogenation reaction, density functional theory calculations was also conducted. This work provides an universal approach for constructing highly efficient non-precious metal heterogeneous catalysts and which may find diverse high performance applications.

- A polyamine dendritic polymer-copper complex: A reusable catalyst for the additive-free amination of aryl bromides, and iodides
-
A porphyrin-initiated amine-functionalized polyepichlorohydrin dendritic polymer (PPECH-Amine) was effectively synthesized, and its water-soluble copper complex (PPECH-Amine-Cu) was developed by treating it with copper acetate. PPECH-Amine and PPECH-Amine-Cu were characterised by different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. PPECH-Amine-Cu was identified as a reusable catalyst for the amination of bromo- and iodo-benzene derivatives in aqueous media. Due to the presence of residual amino groups in the PPECH-Amine-Cu catalyst, the protocol does not need any additional base additive, as ammonia itself acts as a base and a coupling partner. Due to the good water-soluble nature of this catalyst, it can be easily separated and reused up to six reaction cycles without any loss in its activity.

- Discovery, Synthesis and Evaluation of a Ketol-Acid Reductoisomerase Inhibitor
-
Ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI), the second enzyme in the branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway, is a potential drug target for bacterial infections including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we have screened the Medicines for Malaria Venture Pathogen Box against purified M. tuberculosis (Mt) KARI and identified two compounds that have Ki values below 200 nm. In Mt cell susceptibility assays one of these compounds exhibited an IC50 value of 0.8 μm. Co-crystallization of this compound, 3-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-one (MMV553002), in complex with Staphylococcus aureus KARI, which has 56 % identity with Mt KARI, NADPH and Mg2+ yielded a structure to 1.72 ? resolution. However, only a hydrolyzed product of the inhibitor (i.e. 3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxopropanic acid, missing the 2-aminophenol attachment) is observed in the active site. Surprisingly, Mt cell susceptibility assays showed that the 2-aminophenol product is largely responsible for the anti-TB activity of the parent compound. Thus, 3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxopropanic acid was identified as a potent KARI inhibitor that could be further explored as a potential biocidal agent and we have shown 2-aminophenol, as an anti-TB drug lead, especially given it has low toxicity against human cells. The study highlights that careful analysis of broad screening assays is required to correctly interpret cell-based activity data.

Preparation of a new, mixed-cationic layered CuIBiOI was prepared and its non-photocatalytic catalytic properties were explored. This solid substance had BiOI-like, lamellar and deflected structure resulting from CuI ion incorporation in the Bi2O2 layers. The as-prepared substance was fully characterized by XRD, Raman, far IR, UV–DR, XP spectroscopies, thermal (TG-DTG) and analytical (ICP-MS, SEM-EDX) methods, electron microscopies (SEM, TEM) as well as BET surface area measurements. By performing Ullmann-type CN– coupling reactions between aryl halides and aqueous ammonia, its catalytic capabilities were tested. The effects of solvents, added base and catalyst loading as well as reaction time and reaction temperature were scrutinized, and a green way for the reaction was identified. The recyclability of the catalyst without the loss of activity and its general applicability for a wide range of aryl halides were also demonstrated.

- Benzothiazolyl ureas are low micromolar and uncompetitive inhibitors of 17Β-HSD10 with implications to Alzheimer’s disease treatment
-
Human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 is a multifunctional protein involved in many enzymatic and structural processes within mitochondria. This enzyme was suggested to be involved in several neurological diseases, e.g., mental retardation, Parkinson’s disease, or Alzheimer’s disease, in which it was shown to interact with the amyloid-beta peptide. We prepared approximately 60 new compounds based on a benzothiazolyl scaffold and evaluated their inhibitory ability and mechanism of action. The most potent inhibitors contained 3-chloro and 4-hydroxy substitution on the phenyl ring moiety, a small substituent at position 6 on the benzothiazole moiety, and the two moieties were connected via a urea linker (4at, 4bb, and 4bg). These compounds exhibited IC50 values of 1–2 μM and showed an uncompetitive mechanism of action with respect to the substrate, acetoacetyl-CoA. These uncompetitive benzothiazolyl inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 are promising compounds for potential drugs for neurodegenerative diseases that warrant further research and development.

- Atomically Dispersed Co Catalyst for Efficient Hydrodeoxygenation of Lignin-Derived Species and Hydrogenation of Nitroaromatics
-
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted much attention due to their outstanding catalytic performance in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we report a template sacrificial method to fabricate an atomically dispersed Co catalyst; three kinds of silica templates with different microstructures (MCM-41, SBA-15, and FDU-12) were employed and the effect of pore structure of the templates on the dispersity of Co was investigated. The catalysts fabricated with different templates presented different Co dispersities, leading to distinguishing catalytic performance. The optimized Co1?NC-(SBA) catalyst with atomically dispersed Co displayed outstanding catalytic activity for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived species as well as the hydrogenation of various nitroaromatics. The reaction mechanism of the HDO of vanillin was investigated by using density functional theory calculations as well.

Herein, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), as an effective catalyst for the reduction process of nitrobenzene derivatives to non-hazardous and useful aniline derivatives, are conveniently synthesized on an inherently magnetic substrate. For this purpose, an efficient combination of volcanic pumice (VP), which is an extremely porous igneous rock, and a chitosan (CTS) polymeric network is prepared and suitably used for the stabilization of the Ag NPs. High magnetic properties of the fabricated Ag@VP/CTS composite, which have been confirmed via vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis, are the first and foremost advantage of the introduced catalytic system since it gives us the opportunity to easily separate the particles and perform purification processes. Briefly, higher yields were obtained in the reduction reactions of nitrobenzenes (NBs) under very mild conditions in a short reaction time. Also, along with the natural biocompatible ingredients (VP and CTS) in the structure, excellent recyclability has been observed for the fabricated Ag@VP/CTS catalytic system, which convinces us to do scaling-up and suggests the presented system can be used for industrial applications.

- A Pd confined hierarchically conjugated covalent organic polymer for hydrogenation of nitroaromatics: Catalysis, kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanism
-
Herein, we propose a fast and scalable synthesis of a triazine based hierarchically conjugated covalent organic polymer under solvent and additive free conditions through a single step process. The synthesized material CCTP (Cyanuric Chloride-Thiourea-Polymer) was thoroughly characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The CCTP exhibited regular sponginess and excellent chemical as well as thermal stability. The solvent and additive free approach for CCTP synthesis provides a sustainable alternative for classical solvothermal methods. The CCTP was immobilized with Pd (0) and subsequently a heterogeneous material Pd&at;CCTP was obtained, which was used as an efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes. The rate constant and Ea were measured to be 2.08 × 10-2 s-1 and 15.67 kJ mol-1 respectively and thereafter other thermodynamic parameters like ΔH, ΔS and ΔG for the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol were also calculated. The obtained results indicate that the catalytic hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol is a non-spontaneous and endothermic process. We have also investigated the effect of surfactants (NH4OH, FA, and N2) on the reaction performance, and consequently NH4OH and FA both slow down the reaction while N2 doesn't affect the reaction medium. Further, we calculated the rate constant for the hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrophenol and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. An array of nitroarenes were further reduced to extend the substrate scope at RT; high TOFs were observed. Besides, Pd&at;CCTP showed excellent reusability in hydrogenation reactions without evident performance falloff.

- Solvent-free synthesis of propargylamines via A3 coupling reaction and organic pollutant degradation in aqueous condition using Cu/C catalyst
-
The present report focuses on the efficient and operationally simple synthesis of biomass-derived carbon as support to immobilize copper particles as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of propargylamines from furfural via the A3 coupling reaction. This new catalyst showed remarkable catalytic performance leading to a 97% yield within 5 h at 80 °C using 5 mg (0.0022 mmol Cu) of Cu/C catalyst under solvent-free condition. Moreover, nitro-substituted compounds such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) are highly toxic and not easily degradable. Hence, a quick and effective method is required to neutralize these toxic compounds. The synthesized active support Cu/C catalyst having various electron-donating groups containing small amounts of Cu plays an essential role in the catalytic reduction of 4-NP (0.1 g). Using only 3 mg (0.0013 mmol Cu) of Cu/C catalyst and NaBH4 (10 mmol), a 99% yield (100% selectivity) in the aqueous condition at 25 °C was achieved. The catalytic reduction follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics with reaction rate constant of 0.028 s?1. Moreover, results demonstrate that the Cu/C catalyst has superior catalytic activity due to the presence of electron-donating molecules such as O, S, and N atoms, which enable synergistic effect in enhancing the overall catalytic performance. Notably, the recoverability and recyclability of the synthesized catalyst were evaluated for up to four cycles, which confirmed its stability in these cycles.

- Adhesive functionalized ascorbic acid on CoFe2O4: A core-shell nanomagnetic heterostructure for the synthesis of aldoximes and amines
-
This paper reports on the simple synthesis of novel green magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with effective catalytic properties and reusability. These heterogeneous nanocatalysts were prepared by the anchoring of Co and V on the surface of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles coated with ascorbic acid (AA) as a green linker. The prepared nanocatalysts have been identified by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray atomic mapping, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer analysis, coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The impact of CoFe2O4@AA-M (Co, V) was carefully examined for NH2OH·HCl oximation of aldehyde derivatives first and then for the reduction of diverse nitro compounds with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) to the corresponding amines under green conditions. The catalytic efficiency of magnetic CoFe2O4@AA-M (Co, V) nanocatalysts was investigated in production of different aldoximes and amines with high turnover numbers (TON) and turnover frequencies (TOF) through oximation and reduction reactions respectively. Furthermore, the developed environment-friendly method offers a number of advantages such as high turnover frequency, mild reaction conditions, high activity, simple procedure, low cost and easy isolation of the products from the reaction mixture by an external magnetic field and the catalyst can be reused for several consecutive runs without any remarkable decrease in catalytic efficiency.

- Enhanced reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives: Effective strategy executed by Fe3O4/PVA-10%Ag as a versatile hybrid nanocatalyst
-
Herein, we present an organic–inorganic hybrid nanocomposite constructed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), iron oxide (Fe3O4), and 10% of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). First, a convenient in situ method is introduced for the preparation of this efficient catalytic system (Fe3O4/PVA-10%Ag). Further, we study the high catalytic performance for the reduction of nitrobenzene (NB) derivatives as a hazardous species of chemicals and the significant biological activity (antibacterial effects) of the nanocomposite. However, high reaction yields (99%) have been obtained in short reaction times (~15 min). A plausible mechanism is suggested, and all the required characterizations of the presented nanocatalyst are investigated in this study.

- Tin(ii) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride deep eutectic solvent: Redox properties in the fast synthesis of: N -arylacetamides and indolo(pyrrolo)[1,2- a] quinoxalines
-
In this contribution a physicochemical, IR and Raman characterization for the tin(ii) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride eutectic mixture is reported. The redox properties of this solvent were also studied by cyclic voltammetry finding that it can be successfully used as an electrochemical solvent for electrosynthesis and electroanalytical processes and does not require negative potentials as verified by the reduction of nitrobenzene. The potential use of this eutectic mixture as a redox solvent was further explored in obtaining aromatic amines and N-arylacetamides starting from a wide variety of nitroaromatic compounds. In addition, a fast synthetic strategy for the construction of a series of indolo(pyrrolo)[1,2-a]quinoxalines was developed by reacting 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole(pyrrole) with aldehydes. This simple protocol offers a straightforward method for the construction of the target quinoxalines in short reaction times and high yields where the key step involves a tandem one-pot reductive cyclization-oxidation.

- Immobilization of Au nanoparticles on poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for enhanced catalytic application in the reduction of nitroarenes and Suzuki reaction
-
We report a novel strategy for the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposite for highly efficient catalysis. Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) chains were grafted to the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) through surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Then, the oxirane rings in the PGMA chains were opened with 2,6-diamino pyridine (DAP) molecules as ligands to prepare the solid support. Finally, this magnetic nanocomposite was used for the immobilization of gold nanoparticles. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, gel permeation chromatography, vibrating sample magnetometry, and atomic absorption spectroscopy were used for characterization of the catalyst. The loading of gold nanoparticles on the solid support was 0.52 mmol/g. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalyst (MNP@PGMA@DAP@Au) was evaluated for the reduction of nitro compounds and C–C coupling reaction in water. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused seven times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- The immobilized Cu nanoparticles on magnetic montmorillonite (MMT?Fe3O4?Cu): As an efficient and reusable nanocatalyst for reduction and reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes with NaBH4
-
In this study, the immobilization of copper nanoparticles on superparamagnetic montmorillonite, MMT?Fe3O4?Cu, was studied. Magnetically nanoparticles (MNPs) of iron oxide (Fe3O4) were primarily prepared by a chemical co-precipitation method. Next, the prepared Fe3O4 MNPs were intercalated within the interlamellar spaces and external surface of sodium-exchanged montmorillonite. Finally, Cu NPs were immobilized on magnetic montmorillonite by a simply mixing of an aqueous solution of CuCl2·2H2O with MMT?Fe3O4 followed by the reduction with NaBH4. Characterization of MMT?Fe3O4 clay system represented that through the immobilization of Fe3O4 MNPs, disordered-layers structure of MMT was easily reorganized to an ordered-layers arrangement. The synthesized composite systems were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, BET and ICP-OES analyses. SEM analysis exhibited that dispersion of Cu NPs, with the size distribution of 15–25 nm, on the surface of magnetic clay was taken place perfectly. BET surface analysis indicated that after the immobilization of Fe3O4 and Cu species, the surface area and total pore volume of MMT?Fe3O4?Cu system was decreased. Next, the Cu-clay nanocomposite system showed a perfect catalytic activity towards reduction of nitroarenes to anilines as well as reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides using NaBH4 and Ac2O in water as a green and economic solvent. The copper magnetic clay catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by an external magnetic field and reused for six consecutive cycles without the significant loss of its catalytic activity.

- Catalytic applications of β-cyclodextrin/palladium nanoparticle thin film obtained from oil/water interface in the reduction of toxic nitrophenol compounds and the degradation of azo dyes
-
A supramolecular catalyst of Pd/β-cyclodextrin thin film is synthesized via a facile and one-pot procedure at an oil-water interface. Macrocyclic oligosaccharides of cyclodextrins with glucose units have a wide range of applications due to their hydrophobic and chiral interior. Due to the ability of this supramolecular catalyst to form inclusion complexes with small organic molecules, the as-synthesized catalyst was applied for the reduction of toxic nitroaromatic compounds (p, o, m-nitrophenol and 4-Cl-2-nitrophenol) and the degradation of harmful azo dyes (methyl orange and bismarck brown) with considerable results. This investigation illustrates the change of the catalyst properties in the presence of molecular receptors attached to the catalyst surface.

- Ru-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Transfer Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines with Formic Acid/Triethylamine
-
A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed deoxygenative transfer hydrogenation of amides to amines using HCO2H/NEt3 as the reducing agent is reported for the first time. The catalyst system consisting of [Ru(2-methylallyl)2(COD)], 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) ethane (triphos) and Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) (HNTf2) performed well for deoxygenative reduction of various secondary and tertiary amides into the corresponding amines in high yields with excellent selectivities, and exhibits high tolerance toward functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive. The choice of hydrogen source and acid co-catalyst is critical for catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reductive amination of the in situ generated alcohol and amine via borrowing hydrogen is the dominant pathway. (Figure presented.).

- Hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines in a flow reactor using polystyrene supported rhodium in a catalyst-cartridge (Cart-Rh@PS)
-
The present methodology described the chemo-selective hydrogenation of various nitroarenes in a flow reactor under polystyrene supported rhodium in a catalyst-cartridge (Cart-Rh@PS) as a heterogeneous nano-catalyst. The polystyrene supported Rh (Rh@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by following our earlier reported protocol and packed inside the catalyst-cartridge (Cat-Cart) to obtain Cart-Rh@PS, which is compatible with ThalesNano's H-Cube Pro flow system. The advantages of the prepacked catalyst Cart-Rh@PS are as follows: no need for catalyst activation up to 12 runs, negligible metal leaching detected by ICP-AES analysis and significantly less back pressure generated under the flow conditions. The same catalyst, Cart-Rh@PS, was also effective up to a 1 gram scale for the reduction of nitroarenes and reusable for successive runs. The hydrogenation in the flow reactor is a greener approach for the reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding anilines in high yields.

- Ultra-low-loading palladium nanoparticles stabilized on nanocrystalline Polyaniline (Pd@PANI): A efficient, green, and recyclable catalyst for the reduction of nitroarenes
-
Ultra-low-loading Pd@PANI nanocomposites (0.048 w.t% Pd) were synthesized via a method that combined interfacial polymerization and in situ composite with camphor sulfonic acid ((+)-CSA) as a dopant. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were performed to characterize the structures. It can be used as an efficient catalyst for the reduction of nitroarenes in aqueous solution by using a smaller amount of NaBH4 (2.5 equiv.) at room temperature with high activity (TON?=?3.4?×?103), good stability (cycled eight times), as well as wide applicability (27 substrates). The catalyst also showed a marvelous activity in the gram-level reaction (yield?=?92%). UV–Visible spectrophotometry was used to investigate the reaction kinetics for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, and the results reconfirmed the excellent performance of the catalyst. The unique properties and superior performance of the prepared ultra-low-loading Pd@PANI nanocomposites lead it be an attractive alternative catalyst for conventional organic catalytic applications.

- Selective Reduction of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Sustainable and Reusable DNA-supported Nickel Nanoparticles in Water at Room Temperature
-
Abstract: In this research, a novel, biodegradable and environmentally friendly catalyst composed of nickel nanoparticles supported on DNA was prepared and fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The catalyst exhibited remarkable catalytic activity and chemoselectivity for the reduction of various substituted nitroarenes with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as the source of inexpensive hydride in water at room temperature. High turnover frequency and selectivity were observed for the reduction of all tested substrates. Interestingly, the catalyst could be recovered conveniently for multiple recycling reactions with sustained activity. Furthermore, nearly no nickel species was leached out from the catalyst during the course of reaction, proving the true heterogeneity in the present catalytic protocol. Graphical Abstract: The reduction of various nitroaromatic compounds into their corresponding amines is achieved by DNA supported nickel nanoparticles with the sodium borohydride as the reducing agent in water at room temperature.

- Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Single-Phase Pyrite FeS2 Nanoparticles on N,S-Codoped Porous Carbon
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes is an industrially very important and environmentally friendly process for the production of anilines; however, highly chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes decorated with one or more reducible groups in a nitroarene molecule remains a challenge. Herein, a novel hybrid non-noble iron-based nanocatalyst (named as FeS2/NSC) was developed, which was prepared from biomass as C and N source together with inexpensive Fe(NO3)3 as Fe source through high-temperature pyrolysis in a straightforward and cost-effective procedure. Comprehensive characterization revealed that single-phase pyrite FeS2 nanoparticles with precisely defined composition and uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on N,S-codoped porous carbon with large specific surface area, hierarchical porous channels, and high pore volume. The resultant catalyst FeS2/NSC demonstrated good catalytic activity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with good tolerance of various functional groups in water as a sustainable and green solvent. Compared with bulk pyrite FeS2 and other non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, a remarkably enhanced activity was observed under mild reaction conditions. More importantly, FeS2/NSC displayed exclusive chemoselectivity for the reduction of nitro groups for nitroarenes bearing varying readily reducible groups.

- A new bifunctional heterogeneous nanocatalyst for one-pot reduction-Schiff base condensation and reduction-carbonylation of nitroarenes
-
In this work, synthesis of Pd-NHC-γ-Fe2O3-n-butyl-SO3H and its activity as a bifunctional heterogeneous nanocatalyst containing Pd-NHC and acidic functional groups, are described. This newly synthesized nanomagnetic catalyst is fully characterized by different methods such as FT-IR, XPS, TEM, VSM, ICP and TG analysis. At first, the catalytic activity of Pd-NHC-γ-Fe2O3-n-butyl-SO3H is evaluated for the reduction of nitroarenes in aqueous media using NaBH4 as a clean source of hydrogen generation at ambient temperature. Using the promising results obtained from the nitroarene reduction, this catalytic system is used for two one-pot protocols including reduction-Schiff base condensation and reduction-carbonylation of various nitroarenes. In these reactions the in situ formed amines are further reacted with aldehydes to yield imines or carbonylated to amides. The desired products are obtained in good to high yields in the presence of Pd-NHC-γ-Fe2O3-n-butyl-SO3H as a bifunctional catalyst. The catalyst is reused with the aid of a magnetic bar for up to six consecutive cycles without any drastic loss of its catalytic activity.

- The immobilized Ni(II)-thiourea complex on silica-layered copper ferrite: A novel and reusable nanocatalyst for one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes
-
In this study, magnetically nanoparticles of CuFe2O4@SiO2@PTMS@Tu@Ni(II) as novel and reusable catalyst were prepared. Synthesis of the Ni (II)-nanocatalyst was carried out through the complexation of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O with the immobilized thiourea on silica-layered CuFe2O4. The prepared nanocomposite system was then characterized using SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, ICP-OES, Raman, UV–Vis and FT-IR analyses. Catalytic activity of the Ni(II)-CuFe2O4 system was investigated towards rapid reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride as well as one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides with NaBH4/Ac2O system without the isolation of intermediate arylamines. All reactions were carried out in H2O within 3–7?min to afford the products arylamines/acetanilides in high to excellent yields. Reusability of the Ni(II)-nanocatalyst was examined for seven consecutive cycles without the significant loss of the catalytic activity.
