- Copper-Based Intermetallic Electride Catalyst for Chemoselective Hydrogenation Reactions
-
The development of transition metal intermetallic compounds, in which active sites are incorporated in lattice frameworks, has great potential for modulating the local structure and the electronic properties of active sites, and enhancing the catalytic activity and stability. Here we report that a new copper-based intermetallic electride catalyst, LaCu0.67Si1.33, in which Cu sites activated by anionic electrons with low work function are atomically dispersed in the lattice framework and affords selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes with above 40-times higher turnover frequencies (TOFs up to 5084 h-1) than well-studied metal-loaded catalysts. Kinetic analysis utilizing isotope effect reveals that the cleavage of the H-H bond is the rate-determining step. Surprisingly, the high carrier density and low work function (LWF) properties of LaCu0.67Si1.33 enable the activation of hydrogen molecules with extreme low activation energy (Ea = 14.8 kJ·mol-1). Furthermore, preferential adsorption of nitroarenes via a nitro group is achieved by high oxygen affinity of LaCu0.67Si1.33 surface, resulting in high chemoselectivity. The present efficient catalyst can further trigger the hydrogenation of other oxygen-containing functional groups such as aldehydes and ketones with high activities. These findings demonstrate that the transition metals incorporated in the specific lattice site function as catalytically active centers and surpass the conventional metal-loaded catalysts in activity and stability.

- Hexafluoro-2-propanol-assisted quick and chemoselective nitro reduction using iron powder as catalyst under mild conditions
-
Hexafluoro-2-propanol as the promoter for the quick nitro reduction using a combination of iron powder and 2 N HCl aqueous solution is reported. This methodology has several positive features, as it is of room temperature, remarkably short reaction time. A wide range of substrates including those bearing reducible functional groups such as aldehyde, ketone, acid, ester, amide, nitrile, halogens, even allyl, propargyl and heterocycles are chemoselectively reduced in good to excellent yields, even on gram scale. Notably, the highly selective reduction of 3-nitrophenylboronic acid is achieved quantitatively. The reduction is also tolerant of common protecting groups, and aliphatic nitro compound, 1-nitrooctane can be reduced successfully.

- Rapid heteroatom transfer to arylmetals utilizing multifunctional reagent scaffolds
-
Arylmetals are highly valuable carbon nucleophiles that are readily and inexpensively prepared from aryl halides or arenes and widely used on both laboratory and industrial scales to react directly with a wide range of electrophiles. Although C-C bond formation has been a staple of organic synthesis, the direct transfer of primary amino (-NH2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups to arylmetals in a scalable and environmentally friendly fashion remains a formidable synthetic challenge because of the absence of suitable heteroatom-transfer reagents. Here, we demonstrate the use of bench-stable N-H and N-alkyl oxaziridines derived from readily available terpenoid scaffolds as efficient multifunctional reagents for the direct primary amination and hydroxylation of structurally diverse aryl- and heteroarylmetals. This practical and scalable method provides one-step synthetic access to primary anilines and phenols at low temperature and avoids the use of transition-metal catalysts, ligands and additives, nitrogen-protecting groups, excess reagents and harsh workup conditions.

- The influence of different solvents on 2-ammonio-4-chloro-5- methylbenzenesulfonate, including its De- and resulfonation
-
The title compound (2-ammonio-4-chloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonate), C 7H8ClNO3S, 1, is an intermediate in the synthesis of laked red and yellow azo pigments. Heating 1 in 2-picoline, quinoline and N,N′-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) [or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)] resulted in the formation of three different compounds: a 2-picolinium hydrate (2), a quinolinium quinoline solvate (3), and a sulfate of the desulfonated title compound (4). The three new compounds were structurally characterised using single-crystal diffraction data and chemically using thermal analysis (DTA/TGA), elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (IR and NMR). By heating 2, 3 and 4 in the solid state, compound 1 is obtained again. In the case of 4, this corresponds to a desulfonation-resulfonation reaction in subsequent steps, which is rarely observed as such. Graphical Abstract: The title compound 2-ammonio-4-chloro-5-methylbenzenesulfonate was heated in 2-picoline, quinoline and N,N′-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) resulting in the formation of three different compounds: a 2-picolinium hydrate (2), a quinolinium quinoline solvate (3), and a sulfate of the desulfonated title compound (4 see Figure). Heating 2, 3 and 4 in the solid state, compound 1 is obtained again. In the case of 4, this corresponds to a desulfonation- resulfonation reaction in subsequent steps, which is rarely observed as such.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Biotransformation of phenylurea herbicides by a soil bacterial strain, Arthrobacter sp. N2: Structure, ecotoxicity and fate of diuron metabolite with soil fungi
-
In order to assess the influence of the aromatic substitution on the ability of a soil bacterial strain, Arthrobacter sp. N2, to degrade phenylurea herbicides, biotransformation assays were performed in mineral medium with resting cells of this soil bacterial strain on three phenylurea herbicides (diuron, chlorotoluron and isoproturon). Each herbicide considered, led to the formation of only one metabolite detected by HPLC analysis. After isolation, the metabolites were identified by NMR and MS, as the corresponding substituted anilines. According to the Microtox test (realized on the bacterium Vibrio fischeri), these metabolites presented non-target toxicity far more important (up to 600 times higher for 4-isopropylaniline) than the parent molecule. For isoproturon and chlorotoluron, the amount of substituted anilines obtained at the end of the biotransformation was very low, whereas the biotransformation of diuron into 3,4-dichloroaniline was almost quantitative. In this last case, the degradation product accumulated in the medium. In soil, other microorganisms are present that might degrade it. So the biotransformation of 3,4-dichloroaniline was then tested with four fungal strains: Aspergillus niger, Beauveria bassiana, Cunninghamella echinulata var. elegans and Mortierella isabellina. The aniline was further transformed with all the microorganisms tested. Only one metabolite was detected by HPLC analysis and after isolation, it was identified to be 3,4-dichloroacetanilide. This acetylated compound led to biological effects less important on V. fischeri than 3,4-dichloroaniline. These results stress the importance of identifying the degradation products to assess the impact of a polluting agent. Indeed, the pollutant may undergo transformation yielding compounds more toxic than the parent molecule.

- Phenylureas. Part 1. Mechanism of the basic hydrolysis of phenylureas
-
The mechanism of the hydrolytic decomposition of phenylureas in basic media in the pH range 12 to 14 is investigated. In this pH range a levelling of the rate-pH curve is observed as well as a change of the substituent influence on the hydrolysis rate. These experimental findings suggest the formation of an unreactive side product of the phenylurea in a parasitic side equilibrium at sufficiently high pH. The urea dissociates at the aryl-NH group to give its conjugate base. For the hydrolytic decomposition of phenylureas an addition-elimination mechanism is proposed as has been established for the alkaline hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters and amides.

- Phenylureas. Part 2. Mechanism of the acid hydrolysis of phenylureas
-
The mechanism of the hydrolytic decomposition of phenylureas in acid media is investigated. It includes, in part, knowledge already present in the literature. Over the investigated pH range the occurrence of a rate maximum in the pH curves due to the strongly reduced water activity at higher acid strengths is observed. An addition-elimination mechanism with rate-determining attack of water at the N-protonated substrate is proposed. The reversion of the substituent influence on the reaction rate with increasing acidity of the reaction medium points to a change of the hydrolytic decomposition mechanism in strongly acidic media.
