The major challenge in the synthesis of high-density biofuels is to identify the bio-based source for C-C cyclic compounds and C-C coupling reactions with a suitable selectivity. Herein, we selectively synthesize 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BTO) with a yield of 51.4% from cellulose-derived 5-hydromethylfurfural via a ring-rearrangement reaction. The cellulose-derived route is a more meaningful route for the C-C cyclic compounds compared to the traditional hemicellulose- and lignin-derived routes. Furthermore, BTO is very easily dimerized via a C-C oxidative coupling reaction, showing a yield of 94.4% and selectivity of nearly 100% under environmentally friendly reaction conditions. After hydrodeoxygenation, bicyclohexane is obtained with a yield of 87.4%. This work not only provides a promising route to produce C-C cyclic fine compounds based on a cellulose-derived route, but also shows a highly efficient synthesis route for high-density biofuels via the C-C oxidative coupling reaction.

Catalytic oxidation can be effectively promoted by the presence of oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface. In this study, the effect of oxygen vacancies on the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of phenol was investigated with CeO2 and MnOx-CeO2 as catalysts. CeO2 and MnOx-CeO2 catalysts with different amounts of oxygen vacancies were obtained via hydrothermal methods and applied for the CWAO of phenol. It was found that CeO2 and MnOx-CeO2 nanorods were much more active than the cubic nanorods. The physicochemical properties of the samples were characterized by TEM, XRD, BET, XPS, and H2-TPR techniques. The results revealed that the presence of oxygen vacancies in CeO2 and MnOx-CeO2 catalysts could increase the oxidizing ability of the catalysts surface. The addition of Mn could greatly improve the adsorption ability of CeO2 and more efficiently oxidize phenol and its intermediates. The synergy between Mn and Ce could further improve the catalyst redox properties and produce a larger amount of active oxygen species, which is the reason why MnOx-CeO2 nanorods are the most active catalysts among the catalysts investigated in this study.

A naringinase from Aspergillus aculeatus JMUdb058 was purified, identified, and characterized. This naringinase had a molecular mass (MW) of 348 kDa and contained four subunits with MWs of 100, 95, 84, and 69 kDa. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that the three larger subunits were β-d-glucosidases and that the smallest subunit was an α-l-rhamnosidase. The naringinase and its α-l-rhamnosidase and β-d-glucosidase subunits all had optimal activities at approximately pH 4 and 50 C, and they were stable between pH 3 and 6 and below 50 C. This naringinase was able to hydrolyze naringin, aesculin, and some other glycosides. The enzyme complex had a Km value of 0.11 mM and a kcat/Km ratio of 14 034 s-1 mM -1 for total naringinase. Its α-l-rhamnosidase and β-d-glucosidase subunits had Km values of 0.23 and 0.53 mM, respectively, and kcat/Km ratios of 14 146 and 7733 s -1 mM-1, respectively. These results provide in-depth insight into the structure of the naringinase complex and the hydrolyses of naringin and other glycosides.

A new photocatalytic system involving iron(II) bipyridine supported on NaY zeolite (FeBY) shows excellent reactivity and selectivity in the oxidation of organic compounds. This approach allows highly controlled oxidation reaction to occur but avoids undesirable mineralization into CO2 and H 2O.

The kinetics and the volume of activation of the title reaction to form 2-dibutylamino-p-benzoquinone in 1,2-dichloroethane and acetonitrile, -54 +/- 2 and -67 +/- 2 cm3/mol respectively, strongly support a reaction scheme in which ionic species are formed prior to the rate-determining step which is the second attack by the amine.
Cooperative structure direction of organosilanes and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide to generate hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite with controlled porous structure
Shen, Yu,Han, Zongzhuang,Li, Hang,Li, Haichao,Wang, Gang,Wang, Fumin,Zhang, Xubin
, p. 6319 - 6327 (2018)
Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite with short-range ordered mesoporosity and hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite nanorods were obtained via a direct hydrothermal synthesis by the cooperative structure direction of dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]- ammonium chloride (TPOAC) and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH). Dimethyloctadecyl[3-(dimethoxymethylsilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (DPOAC) and octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (OTAC) were also employed as structure directing agents (SDA) to further explore the role of methoxysilyl groups in organosilanes during the formation of hierarchical structure. The prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, UV-vis and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The characterization results showed that the use of TPOAC and DPOAC would generate short-range ordered mesopores and irregular mesopores, respectively. Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite nanorods with worm-like intracrystalline mesopores could be obtained by adjusting the amount of silicon source. The lack of methoxysilyl groups in OTAC however could lead to phase separation problems. Furthermore, the hierarchical Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite with short-range ordered mesoporosity showed enhanced catalytic activity and stability for the hydroxylation of phenol at room temperature.

Four new coordination polymers have been obtained solvothermally from the reactions of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with 1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-benzedicarboxylic acids in the presence of various amino-alcohols: 1 [Zn2(Htea)2(1,2-bdc)] (1), 1 [Zn(H3tris)(1,3-bdc)(CH3OH)] (2), 3 [Zn5(Htea)2(1,3-bdc)3(H2O)]·2.6H2O (3), and 3 [Zn3(H2dea)2(1,4-bdc)3] (4) (H3tea = triethanolamine, H3tris = tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, H2dea = diethanolamine, 1,2-H2bdc =1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-H2bdc =1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, and 1,4-H2bdc =1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid). Their crystal structures, thermogravimetric analyses, solid-state transformation to ZnO and characterization of the resultant zinc oxide particles are reported. Compounds 1 and 2 show three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architectures, generated from the interconnection of the zigzag (in 1) and respectively the linear (in 2) chains through hydrogen bonding interactions. The crystal structure of 3 revealed the presence of five different types of zinc atoms that are successively linked through carboxilato or alkoxo bridges in a helicoidal chain running along the crystallographic a axis. Both right-handed (P) and left-handed (M) helices are present in the crystal, and they are alternately interconnected by pairs of isophthalato bridges, resulting in channels of hexagonal shape, filled with water molecules. Compound 4 has a 3D structure in which linear centrosymmetric {Zn3(H2dea)2}6+ nodes are joined by terephthalate bridges. Owing to its porous network, compound 3 was tested in two selective reactions: photooxidation of phenol to hydroquinone and aerobic photooxidative condensation of benzylamine to N-benzylidenebenzylamine.
Synthesis and characterization of bio-inspired diiron complexes and their catalytic activity for direct hydroxylation of aromatic compounds
Wang, Xiao,Zhang, Tianyong,Yang, Qiusheng,Jiang, Shuang,Li, Bin
, p. 817 - 825 (2015)
Three [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes [(μ-dmedt){Fe(CO)3}2] [1; dmedt = SCH(CH3)CH(CH3)S], [(μ-dmedt){Fe(CO)3}{Fe (CO)2PPh3}] (1-PPh3), and [(μ-dmest){Fe(CO)3}2] [1-O; dmest = SCH(CH3)CH(CH3)S(O)], 1-O were synthesized and characterized. These model complexes, which are generally used as the functional biomimics of the hydrogen-producing dinuclear active site in [FeFe]-hydrogenase, were used as efficient catalysts for the selective hydroxylation of aromatic compounds to phenols under mild conditions. Because both the dithiolato-sulfur site and the Fe-Fe bond in the model complexes were possible active oxidation sites, DFT calculations were used to investigate the oxygenated products, that is, the S-oxygenated products or the Fe-oxygenated forms of the model complexes, which may be involved in the catalytic cycle. The experimental and computational results indicate that the thermodynamically favored Fe-oxygenated intermediates dominate the hydroxylation of the aromatic compounds. A possible mechanism for the hydroxylation is also proposed. Three FeI-FeI organometallic complexes were synthesized and used as highly selective catalysts for the direct hydroxylation of aromatic compounds to phenols, forming FeII-μ-O-FeII intermediates as the active oxygen-transfer species.

Reductions by aquatitanium(II)
Yang, Zhiyong,Gould, Edwin S.
, p. 1781 - 1784 (2005)
Solutions of titanium(II), prepared by dissolving titanium wire in mixtures of hydrofluoric and triflic acids, reduce quinones, nitrosodisulfonate anion, and complexes of cobalt(III). When the oxidant is taken in excess, these reactions yield Ti(IV), whereas with excess reductant, the principal product is Ti(III). These reactions are compared with those by Ti(III). Despite differences in rate laws, it is clear that rate ratios for the two reductants (k TiII/kTiIII) fall well below 10 4, the minimum selectivity corresponding to estimated differences in formal potentials, and in some instances, Ti(II), the stronger reductant, reacts more slowly. For both Ti(III) and Ti(II), reductions within the series [Co(NH3)5X]2+ (where X = F, Cl, Br, and I), the fluoro complex reacts much more rapidly than its congeners, and the bromo and iodo complexes are slowest, an order similar to that for Eu2+ reductions, but opposite to that for Cr(II) and Cu(I). The [Co(NH 3)5Br]2+ reaction with excess Ti(II) proceeds at rates very nearly independent of [oxidant] during the first 80-90% reaction, implying that initiation occurs via unimolecular conversion of Ti(II) to an activated cationic reducing species, in the same manner as the earlier described reduction of I3- by Ge(II) in aqueous HCl.

Shahidzadeh, Mansour,Ghandi, Mehdi
, p. 108 - 111 (2001)
The reaction of primary alkylcadmium reagents with p-benzoquinone at various conditions was studied. On the basis of our results, reaction proceeds through a SET mechanism that forms loose and tight intermediates, which produce quinole (1) and substituted hydroquinone (2). In both cases, hydroquinone (3) is obtained in different yields.
Briggs-Rauscher reaction with 1,4-cyclohexanedione substrate
Kereszturi, Klara,Szalai, Istvan
, p. 1071 - 1082 (2006)
A new organic substrate has been used to promote oscillations under batch conditions in the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating system. The new substrate, 1,4-cyclohexanedione (CHD), reacts with aqueous iodine via an enol mechanism. We discuss the effect of the initial concentrations, the temperature and chemical perturbations. In a definite range of concentrations long-lived oscillations with two significantly different frequency periods were observed. The low frequency parts are temperature-dependent while the high frequency oscillations do not show temperature dependence. The inhibitory effects of 1,4-hydroquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone on the oscillations and the kinetics of some important component reactions were studied to develop a model for the simulation of the observed oscillations. by Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag.

Benzene-free synthesis of hydroquinone
Ran,Knop,Draths,Frost
, p. 10927 - 10934 (2001)
All current routes for the synthesis of hydroquinone utilize benzene as the starting material. An alternate route to hydroquinone has now been elaborated from glucose. While benzene is a volatile carcinogen derived from nonrenewable fossil fuel feedstocks, glucose is nonvolatile, nontoxic, and derived from renewable plant polysacharrides. Glucose is first converted into quinic acid using microbial catalysis. Quinic acid is then chemically converted into hydroquinone. Under fermentor-controlled conditions, Escherichia coli QP1.1/pKD12.138 synthesizes 49 g/L of quinic acid from glucose in 20% (mol/mol) yield. Oxidative decarboxylation of quinic acid in clarified, decolorized, ammonium ion-free fermentation broth with NaOCl and subsequent dehydration of the intermediate 3(R),5(R)-trihydroxycyclohexanone afforded purified hydroquinone in 87% yield. Halide-free, oxidative decarboxylation of quinic acid in fermentation broth with stoichiometric quantities of (NH4)2Ce(SO4)3 and V2O5 afforded hydroquinone in 91% and 85% yield, respectively. Conditions suitable for oxidative decarboxylation of quinic acid with catalytic amounts of metal oxidant were also identified. Ag3PO4 at 2 mol % relative to quinic acid in fermentation broth catalyzed the formation of hydroquinone in 74% yield with K2S2O8 serving as the cooxidant. Beyond establishing a fundamentally new route to an important chemical building block, oxidation of microbe-synthesized quinic acid provides an example of how the toxicity of aromatics toward microbes can be circumvented by interfacing chemical catalysis with biocatalysis.
Biomass-Based and Oxidant-Free Preparation of Hydroquinone from Quinic Acid
Assoah, Benedicta,Veiros, Luis F.,Afonso, Carlos A. M.,Candeias, Nuno R.
, p. 3856 - 3861 (2016)
A biomass-based route to the preparation of hydroquinone starting from the renewable starting material quinic acid is described. Amberlyst-15 in the dry form promoted the one-step formation of hydroquinone from quinic acid in toluene without any oxidants or metal catalysts in 72 % yield. Several acidic polymer-based resins and organic acids as promoters as well as a variety of reaction conditions were screened including temperature, concentration and low- and high-boiling-point solvents. A 1:4 (w/w) ratio of quinic acid/Amberlyst-15 was determined to be optimal to promote hydroquinone formation with only traces of a dimeric side-product. A mechanism has been proposed based on the decarbonylation of protonated quino-1,5-lactone that is supported by experimental and computational calculation data.
Kinetics of phenol oxidation with iron-manganese concretions
Cheremisina,Chirkst,Sulimova
, p. 685 - 692 (2012)
Kinetics of oxidation of phenols on the iron-manganese concretions in the temperature range 293-353 K at pH 5.5±0.5 was studied. Reaction of oxidation on the iron-manganese concretions has the second order by phenol. It is characterized by low activation energy, 17.5 kJ mol-1, due to the catalytic action of iron(III) oxide. Lower rate of oxidation of phenols on the iron-manganese concretions is observed as compared to oxidation on the pyrolusite surface. It occurs because of the decrease in MnO2 concentration in the iron-manganese concretions.
The 1,4-cyclohexanedione-bromate-acid oscillatory system. 3. Detailed mechanism
Szalai, Istvan,Koeroes, Endre
, p. 6892 - 6897 (1998)
1,4-Cyclohexanedione (CHD) in its reaction with acidic bromate undergoes aromatization and one of the main resulting products 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (H2Q) is further oxidized and brominated to 1,4-benzoquinone and bromoorganics. The kinetics of H2Q formation, of the reaction of CHD and Br2. as well as of the reaction between H2Q and bromate ion, were followed spectrophotometrically. The latter reaction exhibited Landolt (clock)-type dynamics. On the basis of our earlier analytical and present kinetic investigations, a detailed mechanistic model has been suggested that could well simulate the temporal oscillations of the title system. H2Q plays an essential role in the mechanism and is responsible for the unusual behavior (200-300 oscillations) of this chemical oscillator. We pointed to the relation that may exist between the CHD-bromate-acid system and those reported as oscillatory Landolt-type reactions [e.g., IO3- - SO32- - Fe(CN)64-].
Analysis of Products from Reactions of Chemisorbed Monolayers at Smooth Platinum Electrodes: Electrochemical Hydrodesulfurization of Thiophenol Derivatives
Vieira, Kenneth L.,Zapien, Donald C.,Soriaga, Manuel P.,Hubbard, Arthur T.,Low, Karen P.,Anderson, Stanley E.
, p. 2964 - 2968 (1986)
The product mixtures from electrochemical hydrodesulfurization of selected thiophenolic compounds chemisorbed through the -SH moiety at smooth Pt electrodes in molar acid have been analyzed quantitatively by using thin-layer electrochemical methods in conjunction with capillary gas chromatography and liquid chromatography.The following compounds were studied: pentafluorothiophenol (PFT), mercaptohydroquinone (MHQ), and 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA).A comparatively high area, large-volume preparative thin-layer electrode (TLE) was constructed to facilitate sample analysis.The results obtained from TLE, GC, and HPLC analysis were in good agreement.The extent of hydrodesulfurization (defined here as simple cleavage of the C-S bond without impairment of the aromatic functionality) depended on the nature of the pendant aromatic ring, decreasing in the order PFT (100percent) >> MHQ (50percent) >>MBA (15percent).Only one desulfurization product was observed for MHQ and MBA; the absence of other products was probably because ring hydrogenation (to form alkyl-type groups) competed with simple desulfurization, and detachment of the alkyl moieties from the -SH anchor occured with greater difficulty than that of the aromatic group.

MXenes, a family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides based on earth-abundant constituents, are prospective candidates for energy conversion applications, including photocatalysis. While the activity of individual MXenes towards various photocatalytic processes is still debatable, these materials were proved to be excellent co-catalysts, accelerating the charge separation and suppressing the exciton recombination. Titanium-containing MXenes are well compatible with the classical TiO2 photocatalyst. The TiO2 component can be directly grown on MXene sheets by in situ oxidation, representing a mainstream processing approach for such composites. In this study, an essentially different approach has been implemented: a series of TiO2-MXene composite materials with controlled composition and both reference end members were prepared, involving two different strategies for mixing sol-gel-derived TiO2 nanopowder with the Ti3C2Tx component, which was obtained by HF etching of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis products containing modified MAX phase Ti3C2Alz (z > 1) with nominal aluminium excess. The prospects of such composites for the degradation of organic pollutants under simulated solar light, using benzene as a model system, were demonstrated and analysed in combination with their structural, microstructural and optical properties. A notable photocatalytic activity of bare MXene under near infrared light was discovered, suggesting further prospects for light-to-energy harvesting spanning from UV-A to NIR and applications in biomedical imaging and sensors.
Rapid biosynthesis of phenolic glycosides and their derivatives from biomass-derived hydroxycinnamates
Zhao, Mingtao,Hong, Xulin,Abdullah,Yao, Ruilian,Xiao, Yi
supporting information, p. 838 - 847 (2021/02/09)
Biomass-derived hydroxycinnamates (mainly includingp-coumaric acid and ferulic acid), which are natural sources of aromatic compounds, are highly underutilized resources. There is a need to upgrade them to make them economically feasible. Value-added phenolic glycosides and their derivatives, both belonging to a class of plant aromatic natural products, are widely used in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. However, their complex aromatic structures make their efficient biosynthesis a challenging process. To overcome this issue, we created three novel synthetic cascades for the biosynthesis of phenolic glycosides (gastrodin, arbutin, and salidroside) and their derivatives (hydroquinone, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and homovanillyl alcohol) fromp-coumaric acid and ferulic acid. Moreover, because the biomass-derived hydroxycinnamates directly provided aromatic units, the cascades enabled efficient biosynthesis. We achieved substantially high production rates (up to or above 100-fold enhancement) relative to the glucose-based biosynthesis. Given the ubiquity of the aromatic structure in natural products, the use of biomass-derived aromatics should facilitate the rapid biosynthesis of numerous aromatic natural products.

A highly efficient Ti-MCM-68 catalyst for phenol oxidation with H2O2 was prepared by a mild liquid-phase treatment for the first time. The key preparation procedures to excellent catalytic activity and high para-selectivity were the use of aqueous solutions of the Ti source and calcination at 650 °C prior to catalytic use.
