- Organocatalyzed and uncatalyzed C=C/C=C and C=C/C=N exchange processes between knoevenagel and imine compounds in dynamic covalent chemistry
-
Molecular diversity generation through reversible component exchange has acquired great importance in the last decade with the development of dynamic covalent chemistry. We explore here the recombination of components linked by C=C and C=N bonds through reversible double-bond formation, and cleavage in C=C/C=C and C=C/C=N exchange processes. The reversibility of the Knoevenagel reaction has been explored, and C=C/C=C C/C exchanges have been achieved among different benzylidenes, under organocatalysis by secondary amines such as L-proline. The substituents of these benzylidenes were shown to play a very important role in the kinetics of the exchange reactions. L-Proline is also used to catalyze the reversible C=C/C=C exchange between Knoevenagel derivatives of barbituric acid and malononitrile. Finally, the interconversion between Knoevenagel derivatives of dimethylbarbituric acid and imines (C=C/C=N exchange) has been studied and was found to occur rapidly in the absence of catalyst. The results of this study pave the way for the extension of dynamic combinatorial chemistry based on C=C/C=C and C=C/C=N exchange systems.

- Switching the Cleavage Sites in Palladium on Carbon-Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon Bond Disconnection
-
We have demonstrated a palladium on carbon-catalyzed approach to regioselectively alter the cleavage sites of the C-C bonds of cinnamaldehyde derivatives by a slight change in the reaction conditions in isopropanol under an O2 atmosphere. Styrene derivatives could be selectively formed by the addition of Na2CO3 in association with the dissociation of carbon monoxide, while benzaldehyde derivatives were generated by the addition of CuCl and morpholine instead of Na2CO3.

- Highly active and selective synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines or nitroarenes catalyzed by Pd/DNA in water with dehydrogenation
-
A direct imination was developed from alcohols and amines under catalysis of Pd/DNA by dehydrogenation without additional oxidant, affording the corresponding imines in moderate to good yields with excellent chemoselectivity. By virtue of the liberated molecular hydrogen, the nitroarenes could also be deoxidized in situ into amines and a one-pot tandem synthesis of imines was achieved from nitroarenes. This heterogeneous catalyst can be recovered and reused at least five times by taking advantage of its water-soluble reversibility. All these conformations were performed smoothly in water under mild conditions, and an atom economical and environmentally benign synthesis was embodied in this imination.

Formylation of aryl iodides proceeded effectively in the presence of palladium nanoparticles on cobalt oxide under a syngas atmosphere to afford aldehydes up to 91% yield. A cooperative effect between palladium nanoparticles and cobalt species derived from the support was integral to efficient transformation. Both palladium and cobalt were revealed to exist as zero valent metals after H2 treatment from X-ray absorption near edge structure and X-ray diffraction spectra. The catalyst could be reused at least 7 times without significant loss of activity.

-
The rates of hydrolysis of a series of substituted benzylidenesalicylohydrazide derivatives 40percent (v/v) ethanol-buffer mixture have been investigated by differential pulse polarography.The hydrolysis is catalysed by H+ and its rate follows strictly first-order kinetics.The rate constant decreases with increasing pH up to around pH 3.9, beyond which no measurable reaction was observed; here the protonation of imine begins to be significantly incomplete.The attack of water on the protonated substrate is considered to be the rate-determining step.The effects of pH, molecular structure, and temperature on the reaction rate and the activation energy are reported.Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG(formula), ΔH(formula), and ΔS(fomula)) for the hydrolysis are discussed.

- Chemoselective and ligand-free aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds using alumina-supported mesoporous nickel nanoparticle as an efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst
-
An economically efficient and operationally simple ligand-free protocol for the chemoselective oxidation of benzylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds has been developed using alumina-supported nickel nanoparticles as a stable recyclable heterogeneous catalyst along with potassium tert-butoxide in the presence of aerial oxygen as an eco-friendly oxidant. The aliphatic alcohols remained unaffected under the present condition. Excellent chemoselectivity has also been demonstrated through intermolecular and intramolecular competition experiments. This protocol accommodates a diverse range of substituents with the tolerance of various sensitive moieties during the reaction. The catalyst could be recovered by filtration and reused consecutively without any significant loss in the catalytic activity. Moreover, the heterogeneity of the catalyst has also been established by the “hot filtration method (Sheldon's test)”.

- Competitive demethylation and substitution in N,N,N-trimethylanilinium fluorides
-
Fluorination of aromatic compounds by nucleophilic displacement of trimethylanilinium salts by fluoride is a commonly used reaction for radiotracer synthesis. Though the liberated trimethylamine is thought to be an excellent leaving group for this type of SNAr reaction, scattered reports show that amine demethylation (reverse Menschutkin reaction) sometimes dominates over substitution, particularly when relatively electron rich fluoroarenes are the desired targets. Here we provide systematic experimental and theoretical studies of trimethylanilinium demethylation and substitution. Results from these studies highlight the limits of this leaving group in fluoroarene synthesis and have important ramifications for the design of nucleophilic fluorinating agents featuring ammonium cations.

The excellent catalytic activity of the prepared nanorods of iron vanadate for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols as well as its potential for oxidation of the benzylic sp3 C-Hs in the presence of urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) as oxidant was reported. The prepared nanorods and nanospheres were fully characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDAX, ICP-AES, SEM, and TEM. In the presence of the catalyst, alcohols chemoselectively (100%) convert to the corresponding aldehydes/ketones, giving a total turnover number about 380 for 10 consecutive runs.

- Cobalt tungsten oxide hydroxide hydrate (CTOHH) on DNA scaffold: An excellent bi-functional catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and aromatic alcohol oxidation
-
A material with interdisciplinary properties is of wide interest for use in environmental applications. Currently, hydrogen generation by electrolysis and formation of carbonyl derivatives from alcohols are two different fields that focus on energy and environmental applications. In this work, a new material, Cobalt Tungsten Oxide Hydroxide Hydrate (CTOHH) on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) scaffold having chain-like morphology has been prepared for the first time by a facile microwave heating method. The same CTOHH was also prepared without the DNA scaffold and resulted in irregular aggregated molecular structures. Further, both CTOHH-DNA and CTOHH were converted into CoWO4-DNA and CoWO4, respectively by annealing them at a temperature of 600 °C. All the four catalysts were used for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and for oxidation of aromatic alcohols. In OER, CTOHH-DNA delivered fruitful results compared to all other electrocatalysts. For attaining a current density of 10 mA cm-2, it just required an overpotential of 355 mV with a Tafel slope value of 47.5 mV dec-1. Similarly, all four catalysts were also analyzed for selective and controlled oxidation of aromatic alcohols to their respective aldehydes and ketones using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant where CTOHH-DNA showed better results. Chemo-selectivity has been observed for CTOHH-DNA in the co-presence of hydroxyl and cyano functional groups. The durability of CTOHH-DNA was analyzed and it showed excellent catalytic activity retention up to five cycles.

- Catalytic Conversions in Water. Part 23: Steric Effects and Increased Substrate Scope in the Palladium-Neocuproine Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols in Aqueous Solvents

The steric influence of substituents on the 2-and 9-positions of phenanthroline in the (2,9-R2-1,10-phenanthroline)palladium(II)- catalyzed aerobic oxidation of 2-hexanol was investigated by means of high throughput experimentation. (Neocuproine)Pd-(OAc)2 (R=CH 3) was found to be a highly active catalyst for alcohol oxidation in 1:1 water/DMSO mixtures. The catalyst is unique in that it tolerates water, polar co-solvents and a wide variety of functional groups in the alcohol. Turn-over frequencies of > 1500 h-1 were achieved and a series of alcohols was oxidised with 0.1 to 0.5 mol % of catalyst.

- Catalytic oxidation of primary aromatic alcohols using half sandwich Ir(III), Rh(III) and Ru(II) complexes: A practical and theoretical study
-
The complexes [Cp*IrCl(N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline)]PF6 (1), [Cp*RhCl(N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline)]PF6 (2), (where Cp*?=?1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadiene) and [η6-areneRuCl(N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline)]PF6 (3) have been synthesized and the structure and purity of these were confirmed by single crystal XRD and elemental analyses. Iridium and rhodium complexes exhibit the P21/n space group, the ruthenium complex the P21/c space group and all three complexes show the expected pseudo octahedral “piano-stool” geometry. The catalytic performance of these complexes for the dehydrogenation of primary alcohols to their respective aldehydes with different bases and solvents was investigated. The complexes of iridium and ruthenium give good conversions in different alkaline solutions. Density functional theory was applied to determine the respective MO energy levels, bond lengths, bond angles and binding energies of all the metal complexes. It was also used to study the activity, stability and intermediates of the complexes. A Gibbs free energy (ΔG) DFT calculation was carried out to help understand the reaction mechanism/catalytic cycle of the Rh complex (2). The energy barrier for oxidation of aromatic alcohols by the rhodium hydride complex is much lower (10.32?kcal/mol) than the barrier for hydride transfer of the corresponding Rh benzyloxo species (15.19?kcal/mol), in agreement with mechanisms proposed for related systems.

- Synergistic catalysis of Cu+/Cu0 for efficient and selective N-methylation of nitroarenes with para-formaldehyde
-
In this paper, an inexpensive heterogeneous copper nanoparticles catalyst derived from CuAl-layered double hydroxide via an in situ topotactic transformation process was developed. Cu nanoparticles with uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on amorphous Al2O3 with strong metal-support interaction. Characterization results reveals that the Cu0 and Cu+ were simultaneously formed with Cu+ species as the dominant sites on the surface during the reduction process. The resultant catalyst Cu/Al2O3 demonstrates high catalytic activity, selectivity and durability for the reductive N-methylation of easily available nitroarenes in a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and cascade manner. A broad spectrum of nitroarenes could be efficiently N-methylated to their corresponding N,N-dimethyl amines with good compatibility of various functional groups. The protocol is also applicable for the late-stage functionalization of biologically and pharmaceutically active nitro molecules. A structure-function relationship discloses that Cu0 and Cu+ sites on the surface pronouncedly boosts the reaction efficiency in a synergistic manner, in which Cu0 could facilitate H2 production and N-methylation of anilines, while Cu+ is considerably more active and participates in the overall process of the selective N-methylation of nitroarenes. Moreover, the catalyst also showed a strong stability and could be easily separated for successive reuses without an appreciable loss in activity and selectivity.

The organocatalysis methodology has also been extended, under somewhat modified conditions, to reversible C?£C/C?£N exchange processes between Knoevenagel derivatives of barbituric acid and imines, allowing for the generation of increased diversity.

A new fluorous/organic amphiphilic ether solvent, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl 1,3-dimethylbutyl ether (F-626), is introduced. The basic properties of F-626, especially the partition coefficients with organic solvents/FC-72 (perfluorohexane), were investigated. F-626 was easy to remove by fluorous biphase treatment. Using F-626 as a solvent, LAH reduction, catalytic hydrogenation, and fluorous reductive radical reactions were successful. Classical high temperature reactions up to 200°C, such as the Vilsmeier formylation, the Wolff-Kishner reduction, and the Diels-Alder reaction, were also examined in F-626. The yields of the products in F-626 were almost comparable with those conducted in common organic solvents, which prove that F-626 has the potential to be an easily recyclable high boiling solvent.

- Colorimetric detection of fluoride ion by 5-arylidenebarbituric acids: Dual interaction mode for fluoride ion with single receptor
-
Two 5-arylidenebarbituric acid derivatives (IH and IM) have been synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation of barbituric acid with 4-N,N-dimethylamino benzaldehyde and studied for anion sensing activities. Both receptors sense fluoride ion with high selectivity and sensitivity and the sensing action has been demonstrated by naked eye detection, UV-visible absorption, and fluorescence spectral changes in the presence of F-. Indeed, the F- sensing mechanism for receptor IH depends on F - ion concentration. While at higher concentrations F- forms strong hydrogen bonding interaction with the N-H proton of the receptor, at lower concentrations sensing is influenced by the deprotonation of the methylene proton, followed by the chemical reaction, which is also confirmed by the 1H-NMR technique. On the other hand, when replacing the N-H proton with a methyl group, IM does not show any concentration dependent behaviour with F-. The F- concentration dependent sensing is attributed to the changes in the receptor-anion interaction equilibrium, where at higher F- concentrations, F- interacts with the receptor through hydrogen bonding and at lower concentrations it induces a chemical reaction.

An endohedrally functionalized self-assembled Fe4L6 cage complex can catalyze oxa-Pictet—Spengler cyclizations of tryptophols and various aldehyde derivatives, showing strong rate accelerations and size-selectivity. Selective molecular recognition of substrates controls the reactivity, and the cage is capable of binding and activating multiple different species along the multistep reaction pathway. The combination of a functionalized active site, size-selective reactivity, and multistep activation, all from a single host molecule, illustrates the biomimetic nature of the catalysis.

- Discovery of indanone derivatives as multi-target-directed ligands against Alzheimer's disease
-
A series of indanone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and tested using a variety of assays to assess their potential as anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents. The investigations assessed the activities of the agents for the inhibition of cholinesterases (AChE and BuChE), the inhibition of amyloid beta (Aβ) self-assembly, and the catalysis of the disassembly of preformed Aβ oligomers and measured their antioxidant activities. Our results demonstrate that most of the synthesized compounds demonstrated good inhibitory activity against AChE with IC50 values in the nanomolar range. In particular, compounds 9 (IC50 Combining double low line 14.8 nM) and 14 (IC50 Combining double low line 18.6 nM) exhibited markedly higher inhibitory activities than tacrine and similar activities to donepezil. In addition, 9 and 14 significantly inhibited Aβ aggregation (inhibition rates of 85.5% and 83.8%, respectively), catalysed the disaggregation of Aβ fibrils generated by self-induced Aβ aggregation, and exhibited antioxidant activity. Furthermore, these two compounds can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro. These properties highlight the potential of these new compounds to be developed as multi-functional drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

- A highly efficient heterogeneous aerobic alcohol oxidation catalyzed by immobilization of bipyridine copper(I) complex in MCM-41
-
A heterogeneous copper(I)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary benzylic and allylic alcohols to aldehydes was achieved under air in EtOH at 50°C in the presence of 5 mol % of MCM-41-immobilized bipyridine copper(I) complex [MCM-41-bpy-CuI] and 5 mol % of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) using aqueous ammonia as base, yielding a variety of aromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in good to excellent yields. This heterogeneous copper catalyst can be easily recovered by a simple filtration of reaction solution and reused for at least 10 consecutive trials without any decreases in activity. The use of recyclable heterogeneous copper catalyst and green reagents, such as air as oxidant and ethanol as solvent, made the system attractive for environmentally sustainable processes.

- A DFT and experimental study of the spectroscopic and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of some benzylideneanilines
-
The spectroscopic and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of some N-benzylideneanilines are investigated experimentally and theoretically via high quality density function theoretical (DFT) modelling techniques. Their absorption and vibrational spectra, accurately predicted by DFT calculations, are highly dependent on the nature of the substituents on the aromatic rings, hence, though some of their spectroscopic features are similar, energetic differences exist due to differences in their electronic structures. Whereas the o-hydroxy aniline derived adducts undergo hydrolysis via two pathways, the most energetically economical of which is initiated by a fast enthalpy driven hydration, over a conservative free energy (ΔG?) barrier of 53 kJ mol?1, prior to the rate limiting entropy controlled lysis step which occurs via a conservative barrier of ca.132 kJ mol?1, all other compounds hydrolyse via a slower two-step pathway, limited by the hydration step. Barriers heights for both pathways are controlled primarily by the structure and hence, stability of the transition states, all of which are cyclic for both pathways.

- Rapid, chemoselective and mild oxidation protocol for alcohols and ethers with recyclable N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide
-
Chlorine is the 20th most abundant element on the earth compared to bromine, iodine, and fluorine, a sulfonimide reagent, N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzenesulfonamide (NCBSI) was identified as a mild and selective oxidant. Without activation, the reagent was proved to oxidize primary and secondary alcohols as well as their symmetrical and mixed ethers to corresponding aldehydes and ketones. With recoverable PS-TEMPO catalyst, selective oxidation over chlorination of primary and secondary alcohols and their ethers with electron-donating substituents was achieved. The reagent precursor of NCBSI was recovered quantitatively and can be reused for synthesizing NCBSI.

- Nickel(II)-Catalyzed Selective (E)-Olefination of Methyl Heteroarenes Using Benzyl Alcohols via Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction
-
An efficient catalytic protocol for the synthesis of selective (E)-olefins by the newly synthesized nickel complexes via greener acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling methodology is presented. Two nickel(II) N, S chelating complexes were structurally characterized with the aid of spectral and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Olefination of 2-methylheteroarenes with benzyl alcohols via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling is achieved by inexpensive nickel(II) catalysts. The present olefination protocol is simple and furnishes the desired 2-alkenylheteroarenes in 35 h and yields in the range of 40–93 %. The dehydrogenative coupling reaction proceeds via the generation of an aldehyde intermediate and produces water and hydrogen as sole by-products. The wide substrate scope of this catalytic reaction covered the synthesis of drug intermediates.

- Zwitterion-induced organic-metal hybrid catalysis in aerobic oxidation
-
In many metal catalyses, the traditional strategy of removing chloride ions is to add silver salts via anion exchange to obtain highly active catalysts. Herein, we reported an alternative strategy of removing chloride anions from ruthenium trichloride using an organic [P+-N-] zwitterionic compound via multiple hydrogen bond interactions. The resultant organic-metal hybrid catalytic system has successfully been applied to the aerobic oxidation of alcohols, tetrahydroquinolines, and indolines under mild conditions. The performance of zwitterion is far superior to that of many other common Lewis bases or Br?nsted bases. Mechanistic studies revealed that the zwitterion triggers the dissociation of chloride from ruthenium trichloride via nonclassical hydrogen bond interaction. Preliminary studies show that the zwitterion is applicable to catalytic transfer semi-hydrogenation.

- One-Pot Direct Oxidation of Primary Amines to Carboxylic Acids through Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed and TBHP-Promoted Oxidation Sequence
-
Biomimetic oxidation of primary amines to carboxylic acids has been developed where the copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO)-like o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation was combined with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like TBHP-mediated imine oxidation protocol. Notably, the current tandem oxidation strategy provides a new mechanistic insight into the imine intermediate and the seemingly simple TBHP-mediated oxidation pathways of imines. The developed metal-free amine oxidation protocol allows the use of molecular oxygen and TBHP, safe forms of oxidant that may appeal to the industrial application.

- Trialkylammonium salt degradation: Implications for methylation and cross-coupling
-
Trialkylammonium (most notably N,N,N-trimethylanilinium) salts are known to display dual reactivity through both the aryl group and the N-methyl groups. These salts have thus been widely applied in cross-coupling, aryl etherification, fluorine radiolabelling, phase-transfer catalysis, supramolecular recognition, polymer design, and (more recently) methylation. However, their application as electrophilic methylating reagents remains somewhat underexplored, and an understanding of their arylation versus methylation reactivities is lacking. This study presents a mechanistic degradation analysis of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts and highlights the implications for synthetic applications of this important class of salts. Kinetic degradation studies, in both solid and solution phases, have delivered insights into the physical and chemical parameters affecting anilinium salt stability. 1H NMR kinetic analysis of salt degradation has evidenced thermal degradation to methyl iodide and the parent aniline, consistent with a closed-shell SN2-centred degradative pathway, and methyl iodide being the key reactive species in applied methylation procedures. Furthermore, the effect of halide and non-nucleophilic counterions on salt degradation has been investigated, along with deuterium isotope and solvent effects. New mechanistic insights have enabled the investigation of the use of trimethylanilinium salts in O-methylation and in improved cross-coupling strategies. Finally, detailed computational studies have helped highlight limitations in the current state-of-the-art of solvation modelling of reaction in which the bulk medium undergoes experimentally observable changes over the reaction timecourse.

- SBA-15 Supported Silver Catalyst for the Efficient Aerobic Oxidation of Toluene Under Solvent-Free Conditions
-
The efficient SBA-15 supported silver catalysts(Ag/SBA-15) were prepared and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM, XPS and N2 adsorption–desorption techniques. The catalysts exhibited an excellent catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde under solvent-free conditions. Conversion of toluene and selectivity of benzaldehyde were 50% and 89% respectively over catalyst with 9.1 wt% Ag loading (10Ag/SBA-15). A wide range of substrates were tolerated under the selected reaction conditions. The kinetic study shows that the oxidation of toluene over 10Ag/SBA-15 is pseudo-first-order reaction and the activation energy Ea is 45.1?kJ/mol. A plausible mechanism involving oxygen free radicals was proposed for the aerobic oxidation reaction. Compared with the traditional method, the newly designed heterogeneous catalytic system shows better economic applicability, environmental friendliness and broader application prospects.

- Design, synthesis, characterization and fluorescence property evaluation of dehydroacetic acid-based chalcones
-
Abstract: In this study, we decided to synthesize some new chalcone-type dyes derived from dehydroacetic acid (DHA) by the condensation of 4-amino-substituted benzaldehyde with DHA under the base-catalyzed condition and investigate their ability for rearrangement in acidic condition. For this purpose, initially we prepared the 4-aminobenzaldehyde derivatives via nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde with variety of amines in the presence of K2CO3 as base in DMF. The Knoevenagel condensation of DHA with 4-aminobenzaldehyde derivatives results in the desired compounds. In continuation, Fries rearrangement applied on DHA-chalcone compounds results in characterization of new pyranilidene-type derivatives. The optical responses of new dyes containing UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy were measured in dichloromethane (ET = 40?kcal/mol). Pyranilidene derivatives show low λmax values in comparison with chalcones, and molecule with strong dipole, in polar solvents, shows the bathochromic shift due to more stabilization of excited state in compared with ground state of molecule. Large stocks shifts were obtained for synthesized compounds. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Boosting multiple photo-assisted and temperature controlled reactions with a single redox-switchable catalyst: Solvents as internal substrates and reducing agent
-
An alternative and economically viable process for the synthesis of β-aryl enals, enones and the aryl amines has been developed by partial oxidation of ethanol, isopropanol and N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The formation of β-aryl enals, enones and the aryl amines was catalyzed by a mixed metal oxides layer of cobalt and chromium supported on halloysite nanotubes, designated as CoCr2O4-HNT. The C[sbnd]C and C[sbnd]N bond formation reactions were found to be influenced by temperature and the nature of base. The condensation of aldehyde with in situ generated acetaldehyde by ethanol oxidation forming β-aryl enals occurred selectively at 120 °C. The partial oxidation of isopropanol to acetone and its condensation with aldehydes forming β-aryl enones occurred at room temperature. Increase in temperature caused the liberation of hydrogen gas from isopropanol and allowed the reversible reduction of aldehydes to alcohols. Increase in temperature in isopropanol and increase in base concentration in ethanol causes the selective reduction of aldehydes to alcohols. Besides being active for the Claisen-Schmidt type of reactions and the aryl halides amination process, the synthesized catalyst was also found to be highly active for the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohols in absence of any external oxidizing agent. The positive holes (h+) generated at the Co(II) site as evident from EPR analysis was considered to be responsible for high photocatalytic activity of the material reducing the recombination rate of holes and electrons (e?). Density Functional Theory calculations were performed to understand the mechanism of ethanol oxidation to acetaldehyde.

- Fe3O4@SiO2@Im[Cl]Mn(III)-complex as a highly efficient magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst for selective oxidation of alcohol to imine and oxime
-
An efficient and environmentally friendly oxidation process for the one-pot preparation of oxime, imine and carbonyl compounds through alcohol oxidation in the presence of H2O2 and/or O2 have been developed by a melamine-Mn(III) Schiff base complex supported on Fe3O4@SiO2–Cl nanoparticles, named as Fe3O4@SiO2@Im[Cl]Mn(III)-complex nanocomposite, at room temperature. Direct oxidation of alcohol to carboxylic acid was performed using the catalyst in the presence of molecular O2 at room temperature in a different approach. The oxidation products were obtained with excellent yields and high TOFs. The properties of the catalyst were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (C, H, N), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductive coupled plasma (ICP), cyclic voltammetry (CV), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H & 13C NMR), vibration sample magnetometer (VSM), Brunauer– Emmett–Teller (BET) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analyses. The mechanism of the oxidation processes was investigated for the both H2O2 and O2 oxidants. The role of the imidazolium moiety in the catalyst as a secondary functionality was investigated. Chemoselectivity behavior of the catalyst was studied by some combinations. The catalyst could be recycled from the reaction mixture by a simple external magnet and reused for several times without any considerable reactivity loss.

- A molybdenum based metallomicellar catalyst for controlled and chemoselective oxidation of activated alcohols in aqueous medium
-
A surfactant based oxodiperoxo molybdenum complex, which could activate molecular oxygen, has been employed as a catalyst for controlled oxidation of benzylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyls. The oxidation reactions were carried out under aqueous environment, however, in the absence of any extraneous base or co-catalyst. Sensitive/oxidizable functional groups like cyano, sulfide, hydroxyl, aryl-hydroxyl, alkene (internal/terminal), alkyne (internal/terminal), and acetal were tolerated during the transformations. Such selectivity is attributed to the mild nature of the catalyst. The methodology could also be scaled-up for multi-gram synthesis and the protocol is likely to find practical use since it requires an inexpensive recyclable-catalyst and easily available oxidant (under green conditions). A plausible mechanism is proposed with the help of preliminary computational study.

- Photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols over silver supported on cobalt oxide nanostructured catalyst
-
In this paper, we report an in-situ synthesis of silver supported on cobalt oxide (Ag/Co3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) and studied the catalytic activity of this material as an eco-friendly, simple, recyclable and efficient catalyst for one-pot photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols. Ag nanoparticles with the sizes of 2–5 nm supported on spherical Co3O4 with the radius between 40 and 60 nm were synthesized by homogeneous chemical precipitation followed by hydrothermal heating. The as-synthesized catalyst was thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm (BET) analysis. It was observed that the catalysts with 1 wt% of silver loading shows high activity and selectivity toward the target aldehyde product. The effects of different reaction parameters such as reaction time, oxidant and solvent were investigated and studied in detail. The synergistic effect between the surface Ag NPs and Co3O4 nanospheres plays a vital role toward very high catalytic activity.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Decarboxylation of Aryl Carbamates for Converting Phenols into Aromatic Amines
-
Herein, we describe a new catalytic approach to accessing aromatic amines from an abundant feedstock, namely phenols. The most reliable catalytic method for converting phenols to aromatic amines uses an activating group, such as a trifluoromethane sulfonyl group. However, this activating group is eliminated as a leaving group during the amination process, resulting in significant waste. Our nickel-catalyzed decarboxylation reaction of aryl carbamates forms aromatic amines with carbon dioxide as the only byproduct. As this amination proceeds in the absence of free amines, a range of functionalities, including a formyl group, are compatible. A bisphosphine ligand immobilized on a polystyrene support (PS-DPPBz) is key to the success of this reaction, generating a catalytic species that is significantly more active than simple nonsupported variants.

- Dehydrogenative Coupling of Aldehydes with Alcohols Catalyzed by a Nickel Hydride Complex
-
A nickel hydride complex, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiH, has been shown to catalyze the coupling of RCHO and R′OH to yield RCO2R′ and RCH2OH, where the aldehyde also acts as a hydrogen acceptor and the alcohol also serves as the solvent. Functional groups tolerated by this catalytic system include CF3, NO2, Cl, Br, NHCOMe, and NMe2, whereas phenol-containing compounds are not viable substrates or solvents. The dehydrogenative coupling reaction can alternatively be catalyzed by an air-stable nickel chloride complex, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiCl, in conjunction with NaOMe. Acids in unpurified aldehydes react with the hydride to form nickel carboxylate complexes, which are catalytically inactive. Water, if present in a significant quantity, decreases the catalytic efficiency by forming {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOH, which causes catalyst degradation. On the other hand, in the presence of a drying agent, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOH generated in situ from {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiCl and NaOH can be converted to an alkoxide species, becoming catalytically competent. The proposed catalytic mechanism features aldehyde insertion into the nickel hydride as well as into a nickel alkoxide intermediate, both of which have been experimentally observed. Several mechanistically relevant nickel species including {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOC(O)Ph, {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh, and {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh·HOPh have been independently synthesized, crystallographically characterized, and tested for the catalytic reaction. While phenol-containing molecules cannot be used as substrates or solvents, both {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh and {2,6-(iPr2PO)2C6H3}NiOPh·HOPh are efficient in catalyzing the dehydrogenative coupling of PhCHO with EtOH.

-
Herein, a green, efficient, and new catalytic system for dehydrogenative oxidation of benzyl alcohols using Ag nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in water extract of fly ash (WEFA) has been developed. Various characterization techniques were performed to authenticate the formation of Ag@WEFA. The as-prepared Ag NPs (10-20 nm) were found to be dispersed in WEFA, as indicated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. With Ag@WEFA, a variety of substituted benzyl alcohols were efficiently converted to carbonyl compounds in high yields. All the reactions were deliberately carried out without using any ligand or hazardous organic solvent. This catalytic system involving WEFA is a genuinely new concept. It is, therefore, expected to attract attention from researchers working in the areas of sustainable chemistry.

-
The ammonium-peroxycarboxylic acid mesylates derived from γ-aminobutyric acid, β-alanine, and β-piperidinopropionic acid were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. To study the nucleophilic reactivities of the corresponding ammonium- and amino-peroxycarboxylates, the kinetics of their reactions with a series of benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) were investigated in alkaline, aqueous solutions at 20 °C. Using sequential-mixing stopped-flow UV/Vis photometry, the rates of the reactions of the short-lived nucleophiles with Ar2CH+ were determined and analyzed by the linear free energy relationship lg k = sN(N + E) furnishing nucleophilicity parameters (N, sN) of the peroxycarboxylates. Quantum chemical calculations indicate that the reactivity of the zwitterionic ammonium-peroxycarboxylates is attenuated by intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding.

- Palladium Catalysis in the Intramolecular Carbene C–H Insertion of α-Diazo-α-(methoxycarbonyl)acetamides to Form β-Lactams
-
The intramolecular carbene C–H insertion of α-diazo-α-(methoxycarbonyl)acetamides leading to β-lactams is effectively catalyzed by palladium complexes. It is found that although Pd0 catalysts typically produce mixtures of β-lactams together wit

- Laying the way to meta-functionalization of naphthalene proton sponge via the use of Schlosser's superbase
-
Lithiation of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) with Schlosser's superbase (n-BuLi–t-BuOK) in the presence of TMEDA in hexane was examined. It has been shown that, compared with previously studied n-BuLi–TMEDA or t-BuLi–TMEDA mixtures, this reagent provides much more selective meta-lithiation. A variety of 3-substituted and 3,6-disubstituted derivatives of DMAN has been prepared in a good to reasonable yield after quenching the reaction mass with different electrophiles. A possibility of further functionalization of thus introduced meta-substituents to synthesize more complex 3-substituted derivatives of DMAN is also demonstrated.

- Design, Synthesis, and Structure–Activity Relationship Analysis of Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine Derivatives with Anti-inflammatory Activity in Acute Lung Injury
-
Acute lung injury (ALI) has a high lethality rate, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) contribute most to tissue deterioration in cases of ALI. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new series of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives based on a previously identified lead compound, and we evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities. Structure–activity relationship studies led to the discovery of two highly potent inhibitors. The two promising compounds were found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-6 and TNF-α release in a dose-dependent manner in mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs). Furthermore, administration of these compounds resulted in lung histopathological improvements and attenuated LPS-induced ALI in vivo. Taken together, these data indicate that these novel thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives could be developed as candidate drugs for the treatment of ALI.

- Tungstate ions (WO4 =) supported on imidazolium framework as novel and recyclable catalyst for rapid and selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide
-
Tungstate salt with imidazolium framework is found to be a recoverable and heterogeneous system favouring the highly selective oxidation of primary benzylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes with 30% H2O2 as a green oxidant under neutral aqueous reaction conditions. Furthermore, in order to demonstrate the recyclability of the catalyst, it was recovered and efficiently reused in seven succeeding reaction cycles without any significant loss. The use of green solvent, very short reaction time with excellent yields and recyclability of the catalyst make this protocol highly advantageous.

- Photoinduced, Copper-Promoted Regio- and Stereoselective Decarboxylative Alkylation of α,β-Unsaturated Acids with Alkyl Iodides
-
The first example of UV light-induced, copper-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective decarboxylative coupling of α,β-unsaturated acids with alkyl iodides was reported. Under standard conditions, the 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl iodides proceeded smoothly with the E-selective alkenes obtained in uniformly good yields and high stereoselectivities.

- Acceptorless and Base-free Dehydrogenation of Cyanohydrin with (η6-Arene)halide(Bidentate Phosphine)ruthenium(II) Complex
-
Ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins under acceptorless and base-free conditions was demonstrated for the first time in the synthesis of acyl cyanide. As opposed to the thermodynamically preferred elimination of hydrogen cyanide, the dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins could be kinetically controlled with ruthenium (II) bidentate phosphine complexes. The effects of the arene, phosphine ligands and counter anions were investigated in regard to catalytic activity and selectivity. Selective dehydrogenation can occur via β-hydride elimination with the experimentally observed [(alkoxide)Ru] complex. (Figure presented.).
