Is carbon dioxide able to activate halogen/lithium exchange?
Durka, Krzysztof,Lulinski, Sergiusz,Dabrowski, Marek,Serwatowski, Janusz
, p. 4562 - 4570 (2014)
The unexpected effect of carbon dioxide on halogen-lithium exchange (HLE) reactions of selected haloarenes with tBuLi was investigated. In an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent (pentane), the HLE does not occur at ca. -70 C but, surprisingly, pouring the mixture of reactants onto dry ice and subsequent aqueous acidic hydrolysis gave carboxylic acids resulting from the quench of the first-formed aryllithiums with carbon dioxide. This suggests that CO 2 acts as a promoter of the HLE and, subsequently, serves as an electrophile to trap the aryllithium intermediates that are generated in situ. Theoretical DFT calculations were used to develop a plausible mechanism for the reaction, which indicates that CO2 is a much weaker donor than tetrahydrofuran (THF) so the cleavage of inert tBuLi cubic tetramers into more reactive solvated dimeric species (tBuLi)2(CO2) 4 is disfavored by 42.8 kJ per mol of (tBuLi)4. It is possible that this deaggregation process occurs to some extent when a large excess of CO2 is used. Copyright

2-Pyrones, such as coumalic acid, are promising biobased molecules that through Diels-Alder reactions can provide access to a wide range of biobased chemicals, including molecules with functionality that are not easily accessible via conventional petrochemical routes. A complete reaction network and kinetic parameters for three individual diversification routes that start from a single bicyclic lactone produced via the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of coumalic acid and ethylene were examined experimentally and probed through complementary first-principle density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and thin film solid-state NMR spectroscopy. These experiments provide insights into the routes for several molecular structures from bicyclic lactones by leveraging Lewis or Br?nsted acid catalysts to selectively alter the reaction pathway. The bicyclic lactone bridge can be decarboxylated to access dihydrobenzenes at a substantially reduced activation barrier using γ-Al2O3 as the catalyst or selectively ring-opened via Br?nsted acids to yield 1,3-diacid six membered rings. DFT computations and microkinetic modeling in combination with experimental results provide molecular insights into the catalytically active sites on γ-Al2O3 and provide a general mechanism for the catalyzed bicyclic lactone decarboxylation in polar aprotic solvents, which involves CO2 extrusion as the kinetically relevant step. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy provides direct evidence of strong binding of the bicyclic lactone to the γ-Al2O3 surface, fully consistent with DFT simulation results and experimental reaction kinetics. In addition, the role of the solvent was examined and found to be an additional means to improve reaction rates and selectively produce alternative structures from the bicyclic intermediate. The rate of the decarboxylation reaction was increased dramatically by using water as the solvent whereas methanol acted as a nucleophile and selectively induced ring-opening, showing that both pathways are operative in the absence of catalyst. Taken together, the results demonstrate an approach for selective diversification of the coumalate platform to a range of molecules.

Photoinduced transformations of Acid Violet 7 and Acid Green 25 in the presence of TiO2 suspension
Fabbri,Calza,Prevot, A. Bianco
, p. 14 - 22 (2010)
An azo dye (Acid Violet 7) and an anthraquinone dye (Acid Green 25) were degraded in aqueous solution using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst. Their fate was studied through dyes decomposition, identification of the main and secondary transformation produ
MOF-Zn-NHC as an efficient N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst for aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids: Via a cooperative geminal anomeric based oxidation
Babaee, Saeed,Zarei, Mahmoud,Zolfigol, Mohammad Ali
, p. 36230 - 36236 (2021/12/02)
As an efficient heterogenous N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst, MOF-Zn-NHC was used in the aerobic oxidation of aryl aldehydes to their corresponding carbocyclic acids via an anomeric based oxidation. Features such as mild reaction conditions and no need for a co-catalyst or oxidative reagent can be considered as the major advantages of the presented method in this study. This journal is
Photoinduced FeCl3-Catalyzed Alkyl Aromatics Oxidation toward Degradation of Polystyrene at Room Temperature?

While polystyrene is widely used in daily life as a synthetic plastic, the subsequently selective degradation is still very challenging and highly required. Herein, we disclose a highly practical and selective reaction for the catalytically efficient oxidation of alkyl aromatics (including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl aromatics) to carboxylic acids. While dioxygen was used as the sole terminal oxidant, this protocol was catalyzed by the inexpensive and readily available ferric compound (FeCl3) with irradiation of visible light (blue LEDs) under only 1 atmosphere of O2 at room temperature. This system could further facilitate the selective degradation of polystyrene to benzoic acid, providing an important and practical tool to generate high-value chemical from abundant polystyrene wastes.
Fuel-Driven Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries

In dynamic combinatorial libraries, molecules react with each other reversibly to form intricate networks under thermodynamic control. In biological systems, chemical reaction networks operate under kinetic control by the transduction of chemical energy. We thus introduced the notion of energy transduction, via chemical reaction cycles, to a dynamic combinatorial library. In the library, monomers can be oligomerized, oligomers can be deoligomerized, and oligomers can recombine. Interestingly, we found that the dynamics of the library's components were dominated by transacylation, which is an equilibrium reaction. In contrast, the library's dynamics were dictated by fuel-driven activation, which is a nonequilibrium reaction. Finally, we found that self-assembly can play a large role in affecting the reaction's kinetics via feedback mechanisms. The interplay of the simultaneously operating reactions and feedback mechanisms can result in hysteresis effects in which the outcome of the competition for fuel depends on events that occurred in the past. In future work, we envision diversifying the library by modifying building blocks with catalytically active motifs and information-containing monomers.
