Catalytic activation of unstrained and nonpolar C-C bonds remains a largely unmet challenge. Here, we describe our detailed efforts in developing a rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of unstrained C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds in 2,2′-methylenediphenols aided by removable directing groups. Good yields of the monophenol products are obtained with tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In addition, the reaction is scalable, and the catalyst loading can be reduced to as low as 0.5 mol %. Moreover, this method proves to be effective to cleave C(aryl)-C(alkyl) linkages in both models of phenolic resins and commercial novolacs resins. Finally, detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies show that with C-H activation being a competitive but reversible off-cycle reaction, this transformation goes through a directed C(aryl)-C(alkyl) oxidative addition pathway.

The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of anisole has been investigated over Ni catalysts on mixed metal oxide supports containing Nb–Zr and Ti–Zr in 1:1 and 1:4 ratios. XRD patterns indicate the incorporation of Ti (or Nb) into the ZrO2 framewo

A tetranuclear Cu(II) cubane [Cu2(μ-1κONO’:2κOO’:3κO-HL)(μ-1κONO’:2κOO’-HL)]2?4dmf (1) derived form (2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H3L) was synthesized at room temperature and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The known tetranuclear Cu(II) open-cubane [Cu(HL)]4?4EtOH (2) was synthesized from the same pro-ligand following a similar method or the reported one. The different tautomeric forms (keto and enol) of the organic ligands in 1 and 2 explain their different structural features. Both complexes were screened as catalysts for the peroxidative oxidation of toluene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, achieving benzaldehyde and o-cresol as the main products. Complex 1 exhibits the highest activity (maximum product yield of 11%).
