Selective Activation of Unstrained C(O)-C Bond in Ketone Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reaction Enabled by Hydride-Transfer Strategy
A Rh(I)-catalyzed ketone Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of benzylacetone with arylboronic acid is developed. Selective C(O)-C bond activation, which employs aminopyridine as a temporary directing group and ethyl vinyl ketone as a hydride acceptor, occurs on the alkyl chain containing a β-position hydrogen. A series of acetophenone products were obtained in yields up to 75%.

Stepwise benzylic oxygenation via uranyl-photocatalysis
Stepwise oxygenation at the benzylic position (1°, 2°, 3°) of aromatic molecules was comprehensively established under ambient conditions via uranyl photocatalysis to produce carboxylic acids, ketones, and alcohols, respectively. The accuracy of the stepwise oxygenation was ensured by the tunability of catalytic activity in uranyl photocatalysis, which was adjusted by solvents and additives demonstrated through Stern–Volmer analysis. Hydrogen atom transfer between the benzylic position and the uranyl catalyst facilitated oxygenation, further confirmed by kinetic studies. Considerably improved efficiency of flow operation demonstrated the potential for industrial synthetic application.

Rhizopus arrhizus mediated SAR studies in chemoselective biotransformation of haloketones at ambient temperature
We have demonstrated a green chemistry approach using the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus for the reductive dehalogenation and synthesis of chiral secondary carbinols and halohydrins of pharmaceutical importance in mild, inexpensive, and environmental friendly process at ambient temperature. In the present study, we have succeeded in unravelling the relationship between the position of the substituent group in the structure of substrate and bioreduction activity of the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus. The asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group to corresponding chiral halohydrin takes place with good yield and excellent enantiomeric excess (≥92%) when the substituent halogen is on the aromatic nucleus. However, novel results concerning reductive dehalogenation are obtained when halogen is incorporated in the alkyl side chain. Thus, the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus has great potential to bring chemoenzymatic biotransformation of halo ketones. Various influential processing parameters such as microbe selection, temperature, pH, etc. were also investigated to optimize the growth of biocatalyst.

Hydration of Alkynes to Ketones with an Efficient and Practical Polyoxomolybdate-based Cobalt Catalyst
Hydration of alkynes to ketones is one of the most atom economical and universal methods for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. However, the basic reaction usually requires organic ligand catalysts or harsh reaction conditions to insert oxygen into the C≡C bond. Here, we report an inorganic ligand supported cobalt (III) catalyst, (NH4)3[CoMo6O18(OH)6], which is supported by a central cobalt (III) mononucleus and a ring-shaped pure inorganic ligand composed of six MoVIO6 octahedrons to avoid the disadvantages of expensive and unrecyclable organic ligand catalysts or noble metal catalysts. Under mild conditions, the cobalt (III) catalyst can be used for the hydration of alkynes to ketones. The catalyst is non-toxic, green, and environment friendly. The catalyst can be recycled at least six times with high activity. According to control experiments, a reasonable mechanism is provided.

Catalyst- and acid-free Markovnikov hydration of alkynes in a sustainable H2O/ethyl lactate system
An efficient and sustainable protocol for the hydration of alkynes has been developed under metal/acid/catalyst/ligand-free conditions in a water/ethyl lactate mixture. The hydrogen-bond network in the ethyl lactate and water mixture plays a crucial and decisive role in activating the alkynes for hydration to afford the corresponding methyl ketones. This strategy gives the Markovnikov (ketone) addition product selectively over other possible products. The essential role of hydrogen bonding has been confirmed by experimental and theoretical techniques. A probable mechanism has been suggested by various control tests. The efficacy of the method has been further explored for the competent production of value-added α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the reaction of aldehydes with alkynes as ketonic surrogates. The environmentally benign hydration method takes place under mild conditions, has broad functional-group compatibility, and uses the ethyl lactate/water (1:3) medium as a “green alternative” in the absence of any hazardous, harmful, or expensive substances.

Dual-Metal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complex (M = Au and Pd)-Functionalized UiO-67 MOF for Alkyne Hydration-Suzuki Coupling Tandem Reaction
Metal N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (NHC-M) have been recognized as an important class of organometallic catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that different NHC-M (M = Au and Pd) species can be simultaneously introduced into a single metal organic framework (MOF) by direct assembly of NHC-M-decorated ligands and metal ions under solvothermal conditions. The obtained UiO-67-Au/Pd-NHBC MOF with different organometallic NHC-M species can be a highly reusable dual catalyst to sequentially promote alkyne hydration-Suzuki coupling reaction. The potential utility of this strategy is highlighted by the preparation of many more new multicatalysts of this type for various organic transformations in a sequential way.

Surface Coordination of Multiple Ligands Endows N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Stabilized Gold Nanoclusters with High Robustness and Surface Reactivity
Deciphering the molecular pictures of the multi-component and non-periodic organic-inorganic interlayer is a grand technical challenge. Here we show that the atomic arrangement of hybrid surface ligands on metal nanoparticles can be precisely quantified through comprehensive characterization of a novel gold cluster, Au44(iPr2-bimy)9(PA)6Br8 (1), which features three types of ligands, namely, carbene (1,3-diisopropylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene, iPr2-bimy), alkynyl (phenylacetylide, PA), and halide (Br), respectively. The delicately balanced stereochemical effects and bonding capabilities of the three ligands give rise to peculiar geometrical and electronic structures. Remarkably, despite its complex and highly distorted surface structure, cluster 1 exhibits unusual catalytic properties and yet it is highly stable, both chemically and thermally. Moreover, rich reactive sites on the cluster surface raise the prospect of bio-compatibility (as it can be functionalized to yield water-soluble derivatives) and bio-applications.

Promoting charge separation in donor-acceptor conjugated microporous polymers: Via cyanation for the photocatalytic reductive dehalogenation of chlorides
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have emerged as promising heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic transformations owing to their structural designability and functional versatility. However, limited by the insufficient separation of the photo-generated excitons, their photocatalytic efficiency falls far short of expectations. Herein, we demonstrate a cyanation strategy to promote charge carrier separation in CMPs by selectively incorporating carbazole and cyano groups as electron-donating and electron-withdrawing units, respectively. The resulting CMPs feature π-extended donor (D)-acceptor (A) conjugation structures endowing them with distinct semiconducting properties, in which the efficient charge separation and transfer and wide visible-light absorption are facilitated. Compared to the cyano-free counterpart, the cyano-functionalized CMPs showed superior photocatalytic efficiency as exemplified by photocatalytic reductive dehalogenation of chlorides. More prominently, full recyclability of the designed CMPs as well as catalytic activity for at least ten runs without the loss of catalytic performance in photocatalytic reductive dehalogenation of chlorides demonstrated their robustness and sustainability.

Catalytic Aerobic Oxidation of Alkenes with Ferric Boroperoxo Porphyrin Complex; Reduction of Oxygen by Iron Porphyrin
We herein describe the development of a mild and selective catalytic aerobic oxidation process of olefins. This catalytic aerobic oxidation reaction was designed based on experimental and spectroscopic evidence assessing the reduction of atmospheric oxygen using a ferric porphyrin complex and pinacolborane to form a ferric boroperoxo porphyrin complex as an oxidizing species. The ferric boroperoxo porphyrin complex can be utilized as an in-situ generated intermediate in the catalytic aerobic oxidation of alkenes under ambient conditions to form oxidation products that differ from those obtained using previously reported ferric porphyrin catalysis. Moreover, the mild reaction conditions allow chemoselective oxidation to be achieved.

Efficient Aliphatic C-H Oxidation and C═C Epoxidation Catalyzed by Porous Organic Polymer-Supported Single-Site Manganese Catalysts
Bioinspired manganese complexes have emerged over recent decades as attractive catalysts for a number of selective oxidation reactions. However, these catalysts still suffer from oxidative degradation. In the present study, we prepared a series of porous Mn-N4 catalysts in which the catalytic units are embedded in the skeleton of porous organic polymers (POPs). These POP-based manganese catalysts demonstrated high reactivity in the oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds and the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. Furthermore, these catalysts could be readily recycled and reused due to their heterogeneous nature. Morphological characterization revealed that the Mn-N4 complex was individually distributed over a porous polymer network. Remarkably, the nature of the single-site catalyst prevented oxidative degradation during the reaction. The present work has thus developed a successful approach for bioinspired single-site manganese catalysts in which the oxidation reaction is confined to a specific channel in an enzyme-like mode.

Visible-light photocatalytic selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds by anion-cation dual-metal-site nanoscale localized carbon nitride
Selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups by abstracting H with a photoinduced highly active oxygen radical is an effective method used to give high value products. Here, we report a heterogeneous photocatalytic alkanes C-H bonds oxidation method under the irradiation of visible light (λ= 425 nm) at ambient temperature using an anion-cation dual-metal-site modulated carbon nitride. The optimized cation (C) of Fe3+or Ni2+, with an anion (A) of phosphotungstate (PW123?) constitutes the nanoscale dual-metal-site (DMS). With a Fe-PW12dual-metal-site as a model (FePW), we demonstrate a A-C DMS nanoscale localized carbon nitride (A-C/g-C3N4) exhibiting a highly enhanced photocatalytic activity with a high product yield (86% conversion), selectivity (up to 99%), and a wide functional group tolerance (52 examples). The carbon nitride performs the roles of both the visible light response, and improves the selectivity for the oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups, along with the function of A-C DMS in promoting product yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction follows a radical pathway catalyzed by a photogenerated electron and hole on A-C/g-C3N4that is mediated by thetBuO˙ andtBuOO˙ radicals. Notably, a 10 g scale reaction was successfully achieved for alkane photocatalytic oxidation to the corresponding product with a good yield (80% conversion), and high selectivity (95%) under natural sunlight at ambient temperature. In addition, this A-C/g-C3N4photocatalyst is highly robust and can be reused at least six times and the activity is maintained.

Ferric ion concentration-controlled aerobic photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond with high selectivity and conversion
A Fe(III)-promoted highly selective photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond delivering relative carbonyl products is reported. By altering the concentration of ferric salt, methylarenes can be selectively oxidized under UV irradiation to furnish aromatic aldehydes or acids, respectively. By this protocol, the oxidation of ethylarenes provides the corresponding acetophenones. The reaction is inferred to involve divergent pathways in different concentrations of catalyst for the alternative selectivity between aldehydes and aicds. The reusable catalyst, high conversion and selectivity make this oxidation a green and economic protocol for the synthesis of aromatic carbonyl compounds.

Metal- And additive-free C-H oxygenation of alkylarenes by visible-light photoredox catalysis
A metal- and additive-free methodology for the highly selective, photocatalyzed C-H oxygenation of alkylarenes under air to the corresponding carbonyls is presented. The process is catalyzed by an imide-acridinium that forms an extremely strong photooxidant upon visible light irradiation, which is able to activate inert alkylarenes such as toluene. Hence, this is an easy to perform, sustainable and environmentally friendly oxidation that provides valuable carbonyls from abundant, readily available compounds.

HCl-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Alkylarenes to Carbonyls
The construction of C?O bonds through C?H bond functionalization remains fundamentally challenging. Here, a practical chlorine radical-mediated aerobic oxidation of alkylarenes to carbonyls was developed. This protocol employed commercially available HCl as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent and air as a sustainable oxidant. In addition, this process exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope without the requirement for external metal and oxidants. The mechanistic hypothesis was supported by radical trapping, 18O labeling, and control experiments.

Selective Electrochemical Oxygenation of Alkylarenes to Carbonyls
An efficient electrochemical method for benzylic C(sp3)-H bond oxidation has been developed. A variety of methylarenes, methylheteroarenes, and benzylic (hetero)methylenes could be converted into the desired aryl aldehydes and aryl ketones in moderate to excellent yields in an undivided cell, using O2 as the oxygen source and lutidinium perchlorate as an electrolyte. On the basis of cyclic voltammetry studies, 18O labeling experiments, and radical trapping experiments, a possible single-electron transfer mechanism has been proposed for the electrooxidation reaction.

Visible-Light-Driven Selective Air-Oxygenation of C?H Bond via CeCl3 Catalysis in Water
Visible-light-induced C?H aerobic oxidation is an important chemical transformation that can be applied for the synthesis of aromatic ketones. High-cost catalysts and toxic solvents were generally needed in the present methodologies. Here, an efficient aqueous C?H aerobic oxidation protocol was reported. Through CeCl3-mediated photocatalysis, a series of aromatic ketones were produced in moderate to excellent yields. With air as the oxidant, this reaction could be performed under mild conditions in water and demonstrated high activity and functional group tolerance. This method is economical, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly, and it will provide inspiration for the development of aqueous photochemical synthesis reactions.

Selective electrochemical oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons and preparation of mono/multi-carbonyl compounds
A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

Robust Photocatalytic Method Using Ethylene-Bridged Flavinium Salts for the Aerobic Oxidation of Unactivated Benzylic Substrates
7,8-Dimethoxy-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1a) was found to be a superior photooxidation catalyst among substituted ethylene-bridged flavinium salts (R=7,8-diMeO, 7,8-OCH2O-, 7,8-diMe, H, 7,8-diCl, 7-CF3 and 8-CF3). Selection was carried out based on structure vs catalytic activity and properties relationship investigations. Flavinium salt 1a proved to be robust enough for practical applications in benzylic oxidations/oxygenations, which was demonstrated using a series of substrates with high oxidation potential, i. e., 1-phenylethanol, ethylbenzene, diphenylmethane and diphenylmethanol derivatives substituted with electron-withdrawing groups (Cl or CF3). The unique capabilities of 1a can be attributed to its high photostability and participation via a relatively long-lived singlet excited state, which was confirmed using spectroscopic studies, electrochemical measurements and TD-DFT calculations. This allows the maximum use of the oxidation power of 1a, which is given by its singlet excited state reduction potential of +2.4 V. 7,8-Dichloro-3-methyl-1,10-ethylenealloxazinium chloride (1 h) can be used as an alternative photocatalyst for even more difficult substrates. (Figure presented.).

Cubic CuxZrO100-x as an efficient and selective catalyst for the oxidation of aromatics active methyl, alcohol, and amine groups
The local structure of a supported active metal plays a vital role in determining the desired product's selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we have developed a simple protocol for the synthesis of Cu doped on cubic ZrO2 mixed metal oxide catalysts and used it for the selective oxidation of various functional groups. The catalyst was synthesized by varying the wt.% of Cu (1–20%) on ZrO2 by co-precipitation, followed by hydrothermal treatment. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the catalysts confirmed the formation of the cubic phase of ZrO2, and the growth of CuO occurred along the (1 1 1) plane. The microscopy analysis revealed the uniform distribution of Cu on the ZrO2 surface, while XPS analysis confirmed the presence of copper in the +2 oxidation state. The synthesized catalyst with 2 wt% loading of Cu on ZrO2 showed excellent liquid-phase oxidation properties and gave good to best conversion of active methyl groups, alcohols, and amines with high selectivities to corresponding ketones, aldehydes, and amides, respectively, under milder reaction conditions. Furthermore, the synthesized catalyst showed a broader substrate scope for the various substituted active methyl groups, alcohols, and amines with good conversion and selectivity.

The Origin of Catalytic Benzylic C?H Oxidation over a Redox-Active Metal–Organic Framework
Selective oxidation of benzylic C?H compounds to ketones is important for the production of a wide range of fine chemicals, and is often achieved using toxic or precious metal catalysts. Herein, we report the efficient oxidation of benzylic C?H groups in a broad range of substrates under mild conditions over a robust metal–organic framework material, MFM-170, incorporating redox-active [Cu2II(O2CR)4] paddlewheel nodes. A comprehensive investigation employing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction has identified the critical role of the paddlewheel moiety in activating the oxidant tBuOOH (tert-butyl hydroperoxide) via partial reduction to [CuIICuI(O2CR)4] species.

Finely dispersed CuO on nitrogen-doped carbon hollow nanospheres for selective oxidation of sp3C-H bonds
Hollow nanostructured materials are of great importance in heterogeneous catalysis owing to their improved mass transfer and diffusion properties. In this study, we have successfully prepared a novel nanocomposite, CuO supported nitrogen-doped carbon hollow nanospheres (denoted as CuO/N-C-HNSs), by a template protection-sacrifice method employing SiO2nanospheres as the sacrificial template. The diverse nitrogen species present in the support anchored the CuO nanoparticles firmly and stabilized them as fine particles having sizes below 10 nm. The as-prepared CuO/N-C-HNSs efficiently catalyze the selective oxidation of sp3C-H bonds under mild reaction conditions usingt-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant and water as the green solvent. The strong coordination between CuO and nitrogen species prevents the aggregation as well as leaching of CuO nanoparticles during the catalytic reaction. A wide range of aromatic hydrocarbons were smoothly oxidized into the corresponding products at 80 °C in 20 h affording both conversion and selectivity as high as 99%. The excellent catalytic activity and reusability of CuO/N-C-HNSs can be attributed to the uniformly dispersed CuO sites, hollow nanostructure and the synergistic effect between CuO and nitrogen-doped carbon hollow nanospheres.

Exploration of highly electron-rich manganese complexes in enantioselective oxidation catalysis; A focus on enantioselective benzylic oxidation
The direct enantioselective hydroxylation of benzylic C-H bonds to form chiral benzylic alcohols represents a challenging transformation. Herein, we report on the exploration of new biologically inspired manganese and iron complexes bearing highly electron-rich aminopyridine ligands containing 4-pyrrolidinopyridine moieties ((S,S)-1, (R,R)-1, 2 and 5) in combination with chiral bis-pyrrolidine and N,N-cyclohexanediamine backbones in enantioselective oxidation catalysis with aqueous H2O2. The current manganese complexes outperform the analogous manganese complexes containing 4-dimethylaminopyridine moieties (3 and 4) in benzylic oxidation reactions in terms of alcohol yield while keeping similar ee values (～60% ee), which is attributed to the higher basicity of the 4-pyrrolidinopyridine group. A detailed investigation of different carboxylic acid additives in enantioselective benzylic oxidation provides new insights into how to rationally enhance enantioselectivities by means of proper tuning of the environment around the catalytic active site, and has resulted in the selection of Boc-l-Tert-leucine as the preferred additive. Using these optimized conditions, manganese complex 2 was shown to be effective in the enantioselective benzylic oxidation of a series of arylalkane substrates with up to 50% alcohol yield and 62% product ee. A final set of experiments also highlights the use of the new 4-pyrrolidinopyridine-based complexes in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins (up to 98% epoxide yield and >99% ee).

An Artificial Light-Harvesting System with Tunable Fluorescence Color in Aqueous Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate Micellar Systems for Photochemical Catalysis
In the present work, an artificial light-harvesting system with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is successfully fabricated in aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) micellar systems. Since the tight and orderly arrangement of dodecyl in the SDS micelles is hydrophobic, tetra-(4-pyridylphenyl)ethylene (4PyTPE) can be easily encapsulated into the hydrophobic layer of SDS micelles through noncovalent interaction, which exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon and can be used as energy donor. By using amphoteric sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) fluorescent dye attached to the negatively charged surface of SDS micelles through electrostatic interaction as energy acceptor, the light-harvesting FRET process can be efficiently simulated. Through the steady-state emission spectra analysis in the micelle-mediated energy transfer from 4PyTPE to SR101, the fluorescence emission can be tuned and white light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.29) can be successfully achieved by tuning the donor/acceptor ratio. More importantly, to better mimic natural photosynthesis, the SDS micelles with 4PyTPE and SR101 FRET system showed enhanced catalytic activity in photochemical catalysis for dehalogenation of α-bromoacetophenone in aqueous solution and the photocatalytic reaction could be extended to gram levels.

Interfacially synthesized 2D COF thin film photocatalyst: efficient photocatalyst for solar formic acid production from CO2and fine chemical synthesis
The targeted synthesis of an efficient, visible light active, recyclable, freestanding covalent organic framework thin film photocatalyst for multi-faceted photocatalysis is the essence of the proposed work. A simple, scalable, reagent free synthesis of a thin film at the interface of 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin, 2-vinylbenzene-1,4-dicarbaldehyde in nitrobenzene and aqueous glyoxal affords centimetre sized continuous 2D thin film with substantial stability, flexibility and efficient visible light activity. Strikingly different from the regular imine based COF, the incorporation of the glyoxal unit as a modulator helps in band gap tuning and induces flexibility within the thin film. An interplay between time and concentration helps in achieving a thin film photocatalyst with efficient photocatalytic activity for 1,4-NADH regeneration and selective formic acid formation from CO2. The optimum band edge position of the thin film photocatalyst also enables solar fine chemical synthesisviareductive dehalogenation under visible light illumination with excellent recyclability. The present work gives insight into visible light active thin film formation en route to metal-free sustainable photocatalysis.

Organotellurium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reactions using visible-light as the precise driving energy
Irradiated by visible light, the recyclable (PhTe)2-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction could occur under mild conditions. In comparison with the thermo reaction, the method employed reduced catalyst loading (1 mol% vs. 2.5 mol%), but afforded elevated product yields with expanded substrate scope. This work demonstrated that for the organotellurium-catalyzed reactions, visible light might be an even more precise driving energy than heating because it could break the Te–Te bond accurately to generate the active free radical catalytic intermediates without damaging the fragile substituents (e.g., heterocycles) of substrates. The use of O2 instead of explosive H2O2 as oxidant affords safer reaction conditions from the large-scale application viewpoint.

PhSe(O)OH/NHPI-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction using air as oxidant
A novel oxidative deoximation method was developed in this article. Compared with the reported organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction, this reaction employed N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as the co-catalyst, so that the oxidative deoximation reaction could utilize air as oxidant in the green DMC solvent under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis results indicated that NHPI was essential for activating the catalytic organoselenium species. It could accelerate the activation of molecular oxygen in air to promote the reaction process. The reaction can avoid metal residues in product and is of potential application values in pharmaceutical industry due to the transition metal-free process.

The mechanistic studies indicate that this dethioacetalization/dethioketalization process does not need water and the oxygen of the carbonyl products comes from the hypervalent iodine reagent.

Catalytic alcohol oxidation using cationic Schiff base manganeseIII complexes with flexible diamino bridge
Four Schiff base manganese(III) complexes with derivatives of [(R,R)-N,N’-bis(salicy1idene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminato)] including substituents on salicylaldehyde such as 3-methoxy, 3,5-di-tert-butyl and 3,5-chloro were synthesized and characterized using a combination of IR, UV–Vis, and HR ESI-MS techniques. The catalytic activity of these complexes was tested in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone, revealing very good performances for all of the four manganese complexes. The catalytic reactions were carried out in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and imidazole as co-catalyst. Complex Mn-4, bearing electron withdrawing [(R,R)-N,N’-bis(3,5-di-chloro-salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminato)] ligand was found to be the most stable of the tested Mn(III) complexes and was selected for the oxidation of several primary and secondary alcohols.

Visible light mediated selective oxidation of alcohols and oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles using scalable and reusable La-doped NiWO4nanoparticles
Visible light-mediated selective and efficient oxidation of various primary/secondary benzyl alcohols to aldehydes/ketones and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of partially saturated heterocycles using a scalable and reusable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst in aqueous medium are described. A systematic study led to a selective synthesis of aldehydes under an argon atmosphere while the ODH of partially saturated heterocycles under an oxygen atmosphere resulted in very good to excellent yields. The methodology is atom economical and exhibits excellent tolerance towards various functional groups, and broad substrate scope. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure was developed for the sequential oxidation of benzyl alcohols and heteroaryl carbinols followed by the Pictet-Spengler cyclization and then aromatization to obtain the β-carbolines in high isolated yields. This methodology was found to be suitable for scale up and reusability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the oxidation of structurally diverse aryl carbinols and ODH of partially saturated N-heterocycles using a recyclable and heterogeneous photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.

Bio-derived nanosilica-anchored Cu(II)-organoselenium complex as an efficient retrievable catalyst for alcohol oxidation
A new copper(II) complex supported onto rice-husk-derived nanosilica was prepared from 2,6-bis((phenylselanyl)methyl)pyridine, salicylaldehyde and copper acetate monohydrate, Cu(OAc)2·H2O. The as-synthesized complex Cu(II)SeNSe@imine-nanoSiO2 (Complex I) was extensively characterized with FT-IR, powder XRD, SEM-EDX, solid-state UV-Vis, ESR, XPS, TGA and BET surface area analysis. The catalytic activity of the complex was explored for alcohol oxidation reactions using H2O2 as oxidant and acetonitrile as solvent. For comparison, we have also prepared an analogous homogeneous catalyst (Complex II) and characterized it with FT-IR, UV-Vis, LC-MS and ESR analyses. Its catalytic activity was also screened to the same reaction. The immobilized catalyst showed better efficiency with 75%–95% isolated yield compared with the homogeneous one for alcohol oxidation with at least five times recyclability without profound loss in activity.

Electrochemical reactivity of S-phenacyl-O-ethyl-xanthates in hydroalcoholic (MeOH/H2O 4:1) and anhydrous acetonitrile media
The electrochemical behavior of a series of S-phenacyl-O-ethyl-xanthates (O-ethyl-dithiocarbonate acetophenone derivatives) in hydroalcoholic (MeOH/H2O 4:1) and anhydrous media (ACN/TBAPF6) using carbon electrodes was studied. Cyclic voltammetry showed in hydroalcoholic media only two cathodic waves, whereas in ACN one anodic and two cathodic waves were present. The first cathodic wave corresponded to the reduction of the phenylketone group, whereas the first anodic was attributed to the xanthate unit. Macroelectrolysis on graphite and vitreous carbon at anodic and cathodic potentials, let us to explore the synthetic potential of this electrochemical reactions. With some compounds in hydroalcoholic media and using carbon electrodes, polymeric material was deposited on the electrode impeding the reaction; this deposit was characterized by AFM and SEM-EDS. The electroreduction on Ti electrode overcome this problem and gave the corresponding acetophenones (>95%). On the other hand, in ACN, small quantities of the dimeric 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds X-PhCOCH2CH2COPh-X (7–15%), as well as the corresponding acetophenones (ca. 50%) were isolated. Oxidation macroelectrolysis showed a very complicated transformation without synthetic value. The reaction mechanism for the reduction and the homolytic dissociation into the phenacyl radical was supported by DFT calculations.

Linkage engineering mediated carriers transfer and surface reaction over carbon nitride for enhanced photocatalytic activity
Rational tailoring of the atomic structure of photocatalysts with multiple functions to enhance the carrier transfer efficiency and surface activation of carbon nitride (C3N4) is promising and a challenge. Here, we make the first report of a facile strategy to construct amphiphilic carbon and C-O-C chain linked terminal melem units in functional carbon nitride (COCN)viacopolymerizing formaldehyde with melem. By integrating the amphiphilic carrier bridge of carbon and C-O-C chains into the framework, the photogenerated carrier mobility and activated species (superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen) as well as surface interaction are significantly improved. Consequently, the optimal tailoring of C3N4attains superior photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production (34.9 μmol h?1) and selective oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide using air (nearly 100% conversion and selectivity after 3 h of illumination), which is about 7 times higher than that of pristine C3N4. This study provides deep insight into and strategies for the atomic tailoring of carrier transfer and surface reaction over organic-based photocatalysts.

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes by O2with a Non-Heme Manganese Catalyst
The oxidative cleavage of C═C double bonds with molecular oxygen to produce carbonyl compounds is an important transformation in chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. In nature, enzymes containing the first-row transition metals, particularly heme and non-heme iron-dependent enzymes, readily activate O2 and oxidatively cleave C═C bonds with exquisite precision under ambient conditions. The reaction remains challenging for synthetic chemists, however. There are only a small number of known synthetic metal catalysts that allow for the oxidative cleavage of alkenes at an atmospheric pressure of O2, with very few known to catalyze the cleavage of nonactivated alkenes. In this work, we describe a light-driven, Mn-catalyzed protocol for the selective oxidation of alkenes to carbonyls under 1 atm of O2. For the first time, aromatic as well as various nonactivated aliphatic alkenes could be oxidized to afford ketones and aldehydes under clean, mild conditions with a first row, biorelevant metal catalyst. Moreover, the protocol shows a very good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigation suggests that Mn-oxo species, including an asymmetric, mixed-valent bis(μ-oxo)-Mn(III,IV) complex, are involved in the oxidation, and the solvent methanol participates in O2 activation that leads to the formation of the oxo species.

Hydroxyl radical-mediated oxidative cleavage of CC bonds and further esterification reaction by heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysis
A hydroxyl radical-mediated aerobic cleavage of alkenes and further sequence esterification reaction for the preparation of carbonyl compounds have been developed by using tubular carbon nitride (TCN) as a general heterogeneous photocatalyst under an oxygen atmosphere with visible light irradiation. This protocol has an excellent substrate scope and gives the desired aldehydes, ketones and esters in moderate to high yields. Importantly, this metal-free procedure employed photogenerated hydroxyl radicals in situ as green oxidation active species, avoiding the present additional initiators. The reaction could be carried out under solar light irradiation and was applicable to large-scale reactions. Furthermore, the recyclable TCN catalyst could be used several times without a significant loss of activities.

Decatungstate-mediated solar photooxidative cleavage of CC bonds using air as an oxidant in water
With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

Visible-Light-Driven Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes Using Water-Soluble CdSe Quantum Dots
The oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds is an important chemical reaction, which is a popular reaction in the photocatalytic field. However, high catalyst-loading and low turnover number (TON) are general shortcomings in reported visible-light-driven reactions. Herein, the direct oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds through water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is described under visible-light irradiation at room temperature with high TON (up to 3.7×104). Under the same conditions, water-soluble CdSe QDs could also oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides with 51–84 % yields and TONs up to 3.4×104. The key features of this photocatalytic protocol include high TONs, wide substrates scope, low catalyst loadings, simple and mild reaction conditions, and molecular O2 as the oxidant.

The Reactivity of α-Fluoroketones with PLP Dependent Enzymes: Transaminases as Hydrodefluorinases
A chemical method for the treatment of harmful halogenated compounds that has recently become of interest is the reductive dehalogenation of carbon-halogen bonds. In the case of a fluorine atom, this process is called hydrodefluorination. While many transition metal-based approaches now exist to reductively defluorinate aromatic fluoroarenes, the cleavage of C?F bonds in aliphatic compounds is not so well-developed. Here we propose a biocatalytic approach exploiting a promiscuous activity exhibited by transaminases (TAs). Hence, a series of α-fluoroketones have been defluorinated with excellent conversions using Chromobacterium violaceum and Arthrobacter sp. TAs under mild conditions and in aqueous medium, using a stoichiometric amount of an amine (e. g. 2-propylamine) as reagent and formally releasing its oxidized form (e. g. acetone), with ammonia and hydrogen fluoride as by-products. It is also demonstrated that this process can be performed in a regio- or stereoselective fashion.

Surfactant-Assisted Ozonolysis of Alkenes in Water: Mitigation of Frothing Using Coolade as a Low-Foaming Surfactant
Aqueous-phase ozonolysis in the atmosphere is an important process during cloud and fog formation. Water in the atmosphere acts as both a reaction medium and a reductant during the ozonolysis. Inspired by the atmospheric aqueous-phase ozonolysis, we herein report the ozonolysis of alkenes in water assisted by surfactants. Several types of surfactants, including anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, were investigated. Although most surfactants enhanced the solubility of alkenes in water, they also generated excessive foaming during the ozone bubbling, which led to the loss of products. Mitigation of the frothing was accomplished by using Coolade as a nonionic and low-foaming surfactant. Coolade-assisted ozonolysis of alkenes in water provided the desired carbonyl products in good yields and comparable to those achieved in organic solvents. During the ozonolysis reaction, water molecules trapped within the polyethylene glycol region of Coolade were proposed to intercept the Criegee intermediate to provide a hydroxy hydroperoxide intermediate. Decomposition of the hydroxy hydroperoxide led to formation of the carbonyl product without the need for a reductant typically required for the conventional ozonolysis using organic solvents. This study presents Coolade as an effective surfactant to improve the solubility of alkenes while mitigating frothing during the ozonolysis in water.
