- Magnetically nano core–shell Fe3O4@Cu(OH)x: a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for rapid and green reduction of nitro compounds
-
Magnetically separable nano core–shell Fe3O4@Cu(OH)x with 22?% Cu content was prepared by the addition of sodium hydroxide to a mixture of CuCl2·2H2O and nano Fe3O4 in water. Characterization of the impregnated copper hydroxide was carried out by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), value stream mapping (VSM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The core–shell nanocatalyst exhibited the excellent catalytic activity toward reduction of various nitro compounds to the corresponding amines with NaBH4. All reactions were carried out in H2O (55–60?°C) within 3–15?min to afford amines in high to excellent yields. Reusability of core–shell Cu(OH)x catalyst was examined 9?times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

- Arenesulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica decorated with titania: A heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot photocatalytic synthesis of quinolines from nitroaromatic compounds and alcohols
-
Acid-modified mesoporous SiO2 decorated with TiO2 (T-S-ArSO3H) was successfully prepared via the co-condensation of 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane (CSPTMS) and tetraethyl orthosilicate in the presence of commercially available Sachtleben Hombikat UV100 TiO2 particles. The resulting bifunctional catalyst induced the efficient one-pot photocatalytic conversion of nitroaromatic compounds into polyalkylated quinolines in O2-free alcoholic solutions. In this process, a simultaneous reduction of the nitro compound and an oxidation of the alcohol are induced by the photogenerated electrons and holes, respectively. An imine is then produced upon condensation of the generated aldehyde and amino compounds. The cyclization of the produced imine yielding polyalkylated quinoline was found to be catalyzed by the surface attached arene-SO 3H group. The newly synthesized catalyst was characterized by TEM and BET measurements, by FTIR, TGA, as well as by an acid-base titration method.

- Simple and Practical Synthesis of Various New Nickel Boride-Based Nanocomposites and their Applications for the Green and Expeditious Reduction of Nitroarenes to Arylamines under Wet-Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Grinding
-
In this paper, we report a simple synthesis of four new nickel boride-based nanocomposites, namely Ni2B@ZrCl4, Ni2B@Cu2O, Ni2B@CuCl2 and Ni2B@FeCl3, from commercially available and cheap starting materials. All of the new Ni2B-based nanocomposites were well characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Further, the catalytic applications of these new nanocomposites were successfully evaluated in the wet-solvent-free reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at room temperature by a mechanochemical grinding technique. All the introduced catalytic systems provide excellent yields of arylamines in very short reaction times for a wide range of substrates. Also, recoverability and reusability of the new nanocomposites were investigated.

- Reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amines using zinc and aqueous chelating ethers: Mild and efficient method for zinc activation
-
A mild, environmentally friendly method for reduction of aromatic nitro group to amine is reported, using zinc powder in aqueous solutions of chelating ethers. The donor ether acts as a ligand and also serves as a co-solvent. Water is the proton source. This procedure is also a new method for the activation of zinc for electron transfer reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. The reduction is accomplished in a neutral medium and other reducing groups remained unaffected. The ethers used are dioxolane, 1,4-dioxane, ethoxymethoxyethane, dimethoxymethane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and diglyme.

- Rhodium nanoparticles supported on 2-(aminomethyl)phenols-modified Fe3O4 spheres as a magnetically recoverable catalyst for reduction of nitroarenes and the degradation of dyes in water
-
A magnetic nanostructured catalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh) modified with 2-(aminomethyl)phenols (Amp) was designed and prepared, which is used to catalyze the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds into corresponding amines and the degradation of dyes. The 2-aminomethylphenol motif plays a vital role in the immobilization of rhodium nanoparticles to offer extraordinary stability, which has been characterized by using various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A variety of nitroaromatic derivatives have been reduced to the corresponding anilines in water with up to yields of 99% within 1?h at room temperature. In addition, the catalyst system is effective in catalyzing the reduction of toxic pollutant 4-nitrophenol and the degradation of MO, MB and RhB dyes. Importantly, this catalyst Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field because of the presence of magnetic core of Fe3O4, and the activity of Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh does not decrease significantly after 7 times’ recycling, which indicates that the catalyst performed high reactivity as well as stability.

- Magnetically‐recoverable Schiff base complex of Pd(II) immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aniline derivatives
-
Fe3O4@SiO2/Schiff base/Pd(II) is reported as a magnetically recoverable heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). In this regard, a small amount of the nanocatalyst (0.52?mol% Pd) and hydrazine hydrate, showing safe characteristics and perfect ability as the hydrogen donor, were added to the nitro substrates. The experiments described the successful reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalyst, due to its magnetic property, could be simply separated from the reaction mixture by a permanent magnet and reused in seven consecutive reactions without considerable loss in its activity. Moreover, the leaching of Pd was only 3.6% after the seventh run. Thus, the most striking feature of this method is to use a small amount of the magnetic nanocatalyst along with a cheap and safe hydrogen source to produce the important amine substances selectively, which makes the method economical, cheap, environmentally friendly, and simple.

The direct hydrogenation reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines with non-noble metals is an attractive area. Herein, the pyrolysis of Co(2-methylimidazole)2 metal-organic framework successfully produces a magnetic Co-N/C nanocomposite, which exhibits a porous structure with a high specific area and uniform Co nanoparticle distribution in nitrogen-doped graphite. In addition, the Co-N/C catalysts possess high cobalt content (23%) with highly active β-Co as the main existing form and high nitrogen content (3%). These interesting characteristics endow the Co-N/C nanocomposite with excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction of nitro compounds under mild conditions. In addition, the obtained Co-N/C nanocomposites possess a broad substrate scope and good cycle stability for the reduction of halogen-substituted or carbonyl substituted phenyl nitrates.

- Selective Reduction of Nitroarenes to Arylamines by the Cooperative Action of Methylhydrazine and a Tris(N-heterocyclic thioamidate) Cobalt(III) Complex
-
We report an efficient catalytic protocol that chemoselectively reduces nitroarenes to arylamines, by using methylhydrazine as a reducing agent in combination with the easily synthesized and robust catalyst tris(N-heterocyclic thioamidate) Co(III) complex [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3], tfmp2S = 4-(trifluoromethyl)-pyrimidine-2-thiolate. A series of arylamines and heterocyclic amines were formed in excellent yields and chemoselectivity. High conversion yields of nitroarenes into the corresponding amines were observed by using polar protic solvents, such as MeOH and iPrOH. Among several hydrogen donors that were examined, methylhydrazine demonstrated the best performance. Preliminary mechanistic investigations, supported by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and high-resolution mass spectrometry, suggest a cooperative action of methylhydrazine and [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3] via a coordination activation pathway that leads to the formation of a reduced cobalt species, responsible for the catalytic transformation. In general, the corresponding N-arylhydroxylamines were identified as the sole intermediates. Nevertheless, the corresponding nitrosoarenes can also be formed as intermediates, which, however, are rapidly transformed into the desired arylamines in the presence of methylhydrazine through a noncatalytic path. On the basis of the observed high chemoselectivity and yields, and the fast and clean reaction processes, the present catalytic system [Co(κS,N-tfmp2S)3]/MeNHNH2 shows promise for the efficient synthesis of aromatic amines that could find various industrial applications.

- Cu-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Nitroarenes with Aryl Boronic Acids to Construct Diarylamines
-
The development and study of a simple copper-catalyzed reaction of nitroarenes with aryl boronic acids to form diarylamines that uses phenyl silane as the stoichiometric terminal reductant is described. This cross-coupling reaction requires as little as 2 mol % of CuX and 4 mol % of diphosphine for success and tolerates a broad range of functional groups on either the nitroarene or the aryl boronic acid to afford the amine in good yield. Mechanistic investigations established that the cross-coupling reaction proceeds via a nitrosoarene intermediate and that copper is required to catalyze both the deoxygenation of the nitroarene to afford the nitrosoarene and C-NAr bond formation of the nitrosoarene with the aryl boronic acid.

Amines are among the most fundamental motifs in chemical synthesis, and the introduction of amine building blocks via selective C—C bond cleavage allows the construction of nitrogen compounds from simple hydrocarbons through direct skeleton modification. Herein, we report a novel method for the preparation of anilines from alkylarenes via Schmidt-type rearrangement using redox-active amination reagents, which are easily prepared from hydroxylamine. Primary amines and secondary amines were prepared from corresponding alkylarenes or benzyl alcohols under mild conditions. Good compatibility and valuable applications of the transformation were also displayed.

- Minimization of Back-Electron Transfer Enables the Elusive sp3 C?H Functionalization of Secondary Anilines
-
Anilines are some of the most used class of substrates for application in photoinduced electron transfer. N,N-Dialkyl-derivatives enable radical generation α to the N-atom by oxidation followed by deprotonation. This approach is however elusive to monosubstituted anilines owing to fast back-electron transfer (BET). Here we demonstrate that BET can be minimised by using photoredox catalysis in the presence of an exogenous alkylamine. This approach synergistically aids aniline SET oxidation and then accelerates the following deprotonation. In this way, the generation of α-anilinoalkyl radicals is now possible and these species can be used in a general sense to achieve divergent sp3 C?H functionalization.

Although the catalytic activity of nano-gold surfaces for the reduction of nitro compounds has been known, the effect of their shape has been rarely evaluated. Here, the synthesis, characterization, and application of both gold nanoworms (GNW) and gold nanospheres (GNS) are described. Both GNW and GNS were characterized using SEM, TEM, UV–Vis, FTIR, and XPS spectroscopy. The catalytic efficiency of GNW with an average dimensions of 2 × 250 nm (D × L) towards the hydrogenation of nitrophenol, a pollutant present in industrial wastewater, is higher (TOF 3675 h?1) than that of spherical GNS (10 ± 1 nm), for which TOF is 1838 h?1 in water using NaBH4 as the reductant. The selectivity of 4-aminophenol is 100% for both GNS and GNW.

The reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to anilines is widely used throughout organic synthesis. Typical methods of performing this transformation utilize hydrogenation over a pyrophoric catalyst or a finely divided reducing metal, which often affords heterogeneous mixtures that are difficult to purify. Herein, we report for the first time the use of gallium metal as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. The reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions and affords homogeneous mixtures for a convenient workup. Using this method, twelve anilines were obtained in 33% to quantitative yields with short reaction times of 10-60 minutes.

We report a novel strategy for the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposite for highly efficient catalysis. Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) chains were grafted to the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) through surface-initiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Then, the oxirane rings in the PGMA chains were opened with 2,6-diamino pyridine (DAP) molecules as ligands to prepare the solid support. Finally, this magnetic nanocomposite was used for the immobilization of gold nanoparticles. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, gel permeation chromatography, vibrating sample magnetometry, and atomic absorption spectroscopy were used for characterization of the catalyst. The loading of gold nanoparticles on the solid support was 0.52 mmol/g. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalyst (MNP@PGMA@DAP@Au) was evaluated for the reduction of nitro compounds and C–C coupling reaction in water. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused seven times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

The redox properties of this solvent were also studied by cyclic voltammetry finding that it can be successfully used as an electrochemical solvent for electrosynthesis and electroanalytical processes and does not require negative potentials as verified by the reduction of nitrobenzene. The potential use of this eutectic mixture as a redox solvent was further explored in obtaining aromatic amines and N-arylacetamides starting from a wide variety of nitroaromatic compounds. In addition, a fast synthetic strategy for the construction of a series of indolo(pyrrolo)[1,2-a]quinoxalines was developed by reacting 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole(pyrrole) with aldehydes. This simple protocol offers a straightforward method for the construction of the target quinoxalines in short reaction times and high yields where the key step involves a tandem one-pot reductive cyclization-oxidation.

Abstract: Metalporphyrin-based porous polymers supporting high dispersed Pd nanoparticle (NP) catalysts (HUST-1-Pd) were prepared with a novel solvent-knitting hyper-crosslinked polymer method using 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) as building blocks. The N2 sorption isotherms of the catalysts show that the HUST-1-Pd possesses many ultra-micropores and continuous mesopores. The NPs are assembled on tetraphenylporphyrin structures and show Pd-N4 composition-dependent catalysis for methanolysis of ammonia borane (AB) and hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds to primary amines in methanol solutions at room temperature. The nano-palladium reduced by NaBH4 has efficient catalytic activity for AB methanolysis. A variety of R-NO2 derivatives were reduced selectively into R-NH2 via palladium catalyzed tandem reactions with 5–30?min of reaction time with conversion yields reaching up to 90%. The derivatives also give excellent recycling performance (more than 10 times). Furthermore, the turnover frequency (TOF) can reach 87,209?h?1. The HUST-1-Pd compounds represent a unique metal catalyst for hydrogenation reactions in a green environment without using pure hydrogen. Graphic Abstract: A monodisperse Pd NPs embed in porphyrin-based microporous organic polymer was reported to catalyse the tandem dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and hydrogenation of R-NO2 to R-NH2 at room temperature.

- Commercially Available CuO Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Using Ammonia Borane as a Hydrogen Source

Tandem ammonia borane dehydrogenation and nitroarenes hydrogenation has been reported as a novel strategy for the preparation of aromatic amines. However, the practical application of this strategy is subjected to the high-cost and tedious preparation of supported noble metal nanocatalysts. The commercially available CuO powder is herein demonstrated to be a robust catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes using ammonia borane as a hydrogen source under mild conditions. Numerous amines (even sterically hindered, halogenated, and diamines) could be obtained through this method. This monometallic catalyst is characteristic of support-free, excellent chemoselectivity, low-cost, and high recyclability, which will favor its future utilization in preparative reduction chemistry. Mechanistic studies are also carried out to clarify that diazene and azoxybenzene are key intermediates of this heterogeneous reduction.

- Tuneable Copper Catalysed Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzenes to Aniline or Azo Derivatives
-
A highly versatile and flexible copper nanoparticle (Cu(0) NPs) catalytic system has been developed for the controlled and selective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarene. Interestingly, the final catalytic product is strongly dependent on the nature of the hydrogen donor source. The yield of nitrobenzene reduction to aniline increased from 20% to an almost quantitative yield over a range of alcohols, diols and aminoalcohols. In glycerol at 130 °C aniline was isolated in 93% yield. In ethanolamine, the reaction was conveniently performed at a lower temperature (55 °C) and gave selectively substituted azobenzene (92% yield). Experimental studies provide support for a reaction pathway in which the Cu(0) NPs catalysed transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline proceeds via the condensation route. The high chemoselectivity of both protocols has been proved in experiments on a panel of variously substituted nitroarenes. Enabling technologies, microwaves and ultrasound, used both separately and in combination, have successfully increased the reaction rate and reaction yield. (Figure presented.).

- Solvent-free synthesis of propargylamines via A3 coupling reaction and organic pollutant degradation in aqueous condition using Cu/C catalyst
-
The present report focuses on the efficient and operationally simple synthesis of biomass-derived carbon as support to immobilize copper particles as a catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of propargylamines from furfural via the A3 coupling reaction. This new catalyst showed remarkable catalytic performance leading to a 97% yield within 5 h at 80 °C using 5 mg (0.0022 mmol Cu) of Cu/C catalyst under solvent-free condition. Moreover, nitro-substituted compounds such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) are highly toxic and not easily degradable. Hence, a quick and effective method is required to neutralize these toxic compounds. The synthesized active support Cu/C catalyst having various electron-donating groups containing small amounts of Cu plays an essential role in the catalytic reduction of 4-NP (0.1 g). Using only 3 mg (0.0013 mmol Cu) of Cu/C catalyst and NaBH4 (10 mmol), a 99% yield (100% selectivity) in the aqueous condition at 25 °C was achieved. The catalytic reduction follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics with reaction rate constant of 0.028 s?1. Moreover, results demonstrate that the Cu/C catalyst has superior catalytic activity due to the presence of electron-donating molecules such as O, S, and N atoms, which enable synergistic effect in enhancing the overall catalytic performance. Notably, the recoverability and recyclability of the synthesized catalyst were evaluated for up to four cycles, which confirmed its stability in these cycles.

- The immobilized Cu nanoparticles on magnetic montmorillonite (MMT?Fe3O4?Cu): As an efficient and reusable nanocatalyst for reduction and reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes with NaBH4
-
In this study, the immobilization of copper nanoparticles on superparamagnetic montmorillonite, MMT?Fe3O4?Cu, was studied. Magnetically nanoparticles (MNPs) of iron oxide (Fe3O4) were primarily prepared by a chemical co-precipitation method. Next, the prepared Fe3O4 MNPs were intercalated within the interlamellar spaces and external surface of sodium-exchanged montmorillonite. Finally, Cu NPs were immobilized on magnetic montmorillonite by a simply mixing of an aqueous solution of CuCl2·2H2O with MMT?Fe3O4 followed by the reduction with NaBH4. Characterization of MMT?Fe3O4 clay system represented that through the immobilization of Fe3O4 MNPs, disordered-layers structure of MMT was easily reorganized to an ordered-layers arrangement. The synthesized composite systems were characterized using FT-IR, SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, BET and ICP-OES analyses. SEM analysis exhibited that dispersion of Cu NPs, with the size distribution of 15–25 nm, on the surface of magnetic clay was taken place perfectly. BET surface analysis indicated that after the immobilization of Fe3O4 and Cu species, the surface area and total pore volume of MMT?Fe3O4?Cu system was decreased. Next, the Cu-clay nanocomposite system showed a perfect catalytic activity towards reduction of nitroarenes to anilines as well as reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides using NaBH4 and Ac2O in water as a green and economic solvent. The copper magnetic clay catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by an external magnetic field and reused for six consecutive cycles without the significant loss of its catalytic activity.

- EffectiveN-methylation of nitroarenes with methanol catalyzed by a functionalized NHC-based iridium catalyst: a green approach toN-methyl amines
-
Compound [IrBr(CO)2(κC-tBuImCH2PyCH2OMe)] featuring a flexible pyridine/OMe functionalized NHC ligand κ1C coordinated efficiently catalyzes the selectiveN-monomethylation of nitroarenes using methanol as both the reducing agent and the C1 source. A range of functionalized nitroarenes including heterocyclic or sterically hindered derivatives have been efficiently converted to the correspondingN-monomethyl amines in good yields at low catalyst loadings using sub-stoichiometric amounts of Cs2CO3as a base. Mechanistic investigations support a borrowing-hydrogen mechanism in which methanol acts as the hydrogen source and methylating agent. Further, the hydrogen transfer reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline under optimized reaction conditions should proceed through a direct mechanism involving nitrosobenzene andN-phenylhydroxylamine intermediates.

- Palladium doping of In2O3 towards a general and selective catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines and alcohols
-
Herein, the first general heterogeneous catalytic protocol for the hydrogenation of primary, secondary and tertiary amides to their corresponding amines and alcohols is described. Advantageously, this catalytic protocol works under additive-free conditions and is compatible with the presence of aromatic rings, which are fully retained in the final products. This hydrogenative C-N bond cleavage methodology is catalyzed by a Pd-doped In2O3 catalyst prepared by a microwave hydrothermal-assisted method followed by calcination. This catalyst displays highly dispersed Pd2+ ionic species in the oxide matrix of In2O3 that have appeared to be essential for its high catalytic performance.

- Direct conversion of phenols into primary anilines with hydrazine catalyzed by palladium
-
Primary anilines are essential building blocks to synthesize various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, electronic materials, and others. To date, the syntheses of primary anilines mostly rely on the reduction of nitroarenes or the transition-metal-catalyzed Ullmann, Buchwald-Hartwig and Chan-Lam cross-coupling reactions with ammonia, in which non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals are typically used as feedstocks via multiple step syntheses. A long-standing scientific challenge is to synthesize various primary anilines directly from renewable sources. Herein, we report a general method to directly convert a broad range of phenols into the corresponding primary anilines with the cheap and widely available hydrazine as both amine and hydride sources with simple Pd/C as the catalyst.

- Superfine CoNi alloy embedded in Al2O3 nanosheets for efficient tandem catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds by ammonia borane
-
Aromatic amino compounds are important and universally used chemical intermediates in a wide range of industrial fields. Thus, their production with high efficiency and selectivity under ambient conditions is expected and demanded in modern industry. Herein, a series of superfine CoNi alloy nanoparticles embedded in Al2O3 nanosheet (CoxNi1-x/Al2O3, where x represents the content of Co in the precursor) catalysts was fabricated from CoNiAl-LDH and used to catalyze the tandem dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) and hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to the corresponding amines. Systematic experiments indicate that the composition, size, morphology and catalytic performance of the CoxNi1-x/Al2O3 catalysts can be easily controlled by changing the content of Ni in the CoNiAl-LDH precursor. Particularly, Co0.67Ni0.33/Al2O3 exhibited the best tandem catalytic performance among the six samples. This as-prepared catalyst not only showed a moderate turn-over-frequency value (TOF: 34.5 molH2 molCo0.67Ni0.33-1 min-1 at 298 K without base or additives) and relatively low activation energy (32.4 kJ mol-1) for the dehydrogenation of AB, but also superior catalytic activity (conversion yield reaching up to 100%) and selectivity (>99%) for the tandem reductive transformation of in excess of sixteen types of nitroaromatics to aromatic amines. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the construction of the CoNi alloy optimized the electronic structure with respect to the pure component, promoting its activity for AB hydrolysis and nitroaromatics hydrogenation. Finally, the catalyst could be easily recycled using a magnet due to the magnetic properties of the Co0.67Ni0.33 alloy.

- Au@zirconium-phosphonate nanoparticles as an effective catalytic system for the chemoselective and switchable reduction of nitroarenes
-
In the present paper, a novel inorganic-organic layered material, a zirconium phosphate aminoethyl phosphonate, ZP(AEP), bearing aminoethyl groups on the layer surface, was used to immobilize AuNPs by a two-step procedure. The gold-based catalyst, Au1@ZP(AEP), containing 1 wt% Au, was characterized in terms of physico-chemical properties and TEM analysis revealed that the AuNPs have a spherical shape and an average size of 7.8 (±2.4) nm. Au1@ZP(AEP) proved its high efficiency for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes under mild conditions. Both batch and flow condition protocols have been defined. The catalytic system has been proven to be able to easily switch chemoselectivity allowing the control of the reduction of a series of nitroaromatics towards their corresponding azoxyarenes (2a-k) or anilines (2a-l) in 96% EtOH or abs EtOH, respectively, by using NaBH4 as a reducing agent, in good to excellent yields. Recovery and reuse of the catalytic system has been investigated proving the benefits of the flow approach.

- Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Single-Phase Pyrite FeS2 Nanoparticles on N,S-Codoped Porous Carbon
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes is an industrially very important and environmentally friendly process for the production of anilines; however, highly chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes decorated with one or more reducible groups in a nitroarene molecule remains a challenge. Herein, a novel hybrid non-noble iron-based nanocatalyst (named as FeS2/NSC) was developed, which was prepared from biomass as C and N source together with inexpensive Fe(NO3)3 as Fe source through high-temperature pyrolysis in a straightforward and cost-effective procedure. Comprehensive characterization revealed that single-phase pyrite FeS2 nanoparticles with precisely defined composition and uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on N,S-codoped porous carbon with large specific surface area, hierarchical porous channels, and high pore volume. The resultant catalyst FeS2/NSC demonstrated good catalytic activity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with good tolerance of various functional groups in water as a sustainable and green solvent. Compared with bulk pyrite FeS2 and other non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, a remarkably enhanced activity was observed under mild reaction conditions. More importantly, FeS2/NSC displayed exclusive chemoselectivity for the reduction of nitro groups for nitroarenes bearing varying readily reducible groups.

The invention discloses a method for preparing aromatic amine compounds from aromatic nitro compounds by catalytic reduction of a nano porous gold catalyst. The nano porous gold catalyst and the aromatic nitro compounds are taken as substrates and subjected to a reaction in methanol with ammonia borane as a hydrogen source at the room temperature, and a product is obtained. The high probability ofagglomeration of conventional granular catalysts is prevented, the nano porous gold catalyst shows excellent structural stability and good recycling efficiency, has excellent universality, especiallyfor the aromatic nitro compounds, and has green and mild catalytic conditions, high yield and good selectivity. The yield of m-nitroaniline from m-nitrotoluene can reach 98%. Moreover, the catalyst can be centrifugally recovered and can be recycled without other treatment, the yield of preparing m-nitroaniline from m-nitrotoluene by catalyzing can still reach 88% after being recycled five times,and thus, waste is effectively avoided. The catalyst shows high activity during the reaction and excellent stability under the reaction conditions.

- Sustainable Protocol for the Reduction of Nitroarenes by Heterogeneous Au@SBA-15 with NaBH4 under Flow Conditions
-
A gold-incorporated SBA-15 catalyst was prepared by a solvent-free ball-milling approach. The catalyst showed high reactivity and selectivity in the reduction of a variety of nitroarenes to anilines operating in absolute EtOH with NaBH4 as reducing agent. The catalyst was reused in batch conditions over five consecutive runs without any losses of activity or selectivity. Considering the high chemical stability and reusability of the catalytic system, a continuous-flow protocol was also investigated and defined to minimize the generation of waste and optimize the continuous reuse of the catalyst. Benefits of flow conditions were proven by turnover numbers that increased from 47.5 to 1902 and also by the minimization of both leaching (9.5 vs. 1 ppm) and E-factor values (8 vs. 23 in batch).

- The immobilized Ni(II)-thiourea complex on silica-layered copper ferrite: A novel and reusable nanocatalyst for one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes
-
In this study, magnetically nanoparticles of CuFe2O4@SiO2@PTMS@Tu@Ni(II) as novel and reusable catalyst were prepared. Synthesis of the Ni (II)-nanocatalyst was carried out through the complexation of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O with the immobilized thiourea on silica-layered CuFe2O4. The prepared nanocomposite system was then characterized using SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, ICP-OES, Raman, UV–Vis and FT-IR analyses. Catalytic activity of the Ni(II)-CuFe2O4 system was investigated towards rapid reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride as well as one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides with NaBH4/Ac2O system without the isolation of intermediate arylamines. All reactions were carried out in H2O within 3–7?min to afford the products arylamines/acetanilides in high to excellent yields. Reusability of the Ni(II)-nanocatalyst was examined for seven consecutive cycles without the significant loss of the catalytic activity.

- One-Pot Synthesis of Heterobimetallic Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Multifunctional Catalysis
-
A one-pot synthesis of bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (Co/Fe-MOFs) was achieved by treating stoichiometric amounts of Fe and Co salts with 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH2-BDC). Monometallic Fe (catalyst A) and Co (catalyst F) were also prepared along with mixed-metal Fe/Co catalysts (B–E) by changing the Fe/Co ratio. For mixed-metal catalysts (B–E) SEM energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the incorporation of both Fe and Co in the catalysts. However, a spindle-shaped morphology, typically known for the Fe-MIL-88B structure and confirmed by PXRD analysis, was only observed for catalysts A–D. To test the catalytic potential of mixed-metal MOFs, reduction of nitroarenes was selected as a benchmark reaction. Incorporation of Co enhanced the activity of the catalysts compared with the parent NH2-BDC-Fe catalyst. These MOFs were also tested as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the best activity was exhibited by mixed-metal Fe/Co-MOF (Fe/Co batch ratio=1). The catalyst provided a current density of 10 mA cm?2 at 410 mV overpotential, which is comparable to the benchmark OER catalyst (i.e., RuO2). Moreover, it showed long-term stability in 1 m KOH. In a third catalytic test, dehydrogenation of sodium borohydride showed high activity (turnover frequency=87 min?1) and hydrogen generation rate (67 L min?1 g?1 catalyst). This is the first example of the synthesis of bimetallic MOFs as multifunctional catalysts particularly for catalytic reduction of nitroarenes and dehydrogenation reactions.

- Catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl and nitro compounds using an [: N, O] -chelate half-sandwich ruthenium catalyst
-
A series of N,O-chelate half-sandwich ruthenium complexes for both carbonyl and nitro compound hydrogenation have been synthesized based on β-ketoamino ligands. All complexes exhibited high activity for the catalytic hydrogenation of a series of ketones and nitroarenes with molecular H2 as the reducing reagent in aqueous medium. Consequently, the catalytic system showed the catalytic TON values of 950 for 1-phenylethanol in acetophenone hydrogenation and 1960 for 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene in p-chloroaniline hydrogenation. Good catalytic activity was displayed for various kinds of substrates with either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups. The neutral ruthenium complexes 1-4 were fully characterized using NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. Molecular structures of complexes 2 and 4 were further confirmed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

- Ru-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Transfer Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines with Formic Acid/Triethylamine
-
A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed deoxygenative transfer hydrogenation of amides to amines using HCO2H/NEt3 as the reducing agent is reported for the first time. The catalyst system consisting of [Ru(2-methylallyl)2(COD)], 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) ethane (triphos) and Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) (HNTf2) performed well for deoxygenative reduction of various secondary and tertiary amides into the corresponding amines in high yields with excellent selectivities, and exhibits high tolerance toward functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive. The choice of hydrogen source and acid co-catalyst is critical for catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reductive amination of the in situ generated alcohol and amine via borrowing hydrogen is the dominant pathway. (Figure presented.).

A copper-palladium catalyst supported on amino-modified silica has been synthesized by chemical reduction. It has been found that submicron particles of a copper-palladium alloy are formed on the silica surface. Unlike commercially available palladium catalysts (Pd/Al2O3, Pd/C, Pd/BaSO4), the synthesized copper-palladium catalyst makes it possible to selectively reduce the nitro group in 3-nitrobenzaldehyde and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene.

- From alkylarenes to anilines via site-directed carbon–carbon amination
-
Anilines are fundamental motifs in various chemical contexts, and are widely used in the industrial production of fine chemicals, polymers, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. A recent development for the synthesis of anilines uses the primary amination of C–H bonds in electron-rich arenes. However, there are limitations to this strategy: the amination of electron-deficient arenes remains a challenging task and the amination of electron-rich arenes has a limited control over regioselectivity—the formation of meta-aminated products is especially difficult. Here we report a site-directed C–C bond primary amination of simple and readily available alkylarenes or benzyl alcohols for the direct and efficient preparation of anilines. This chemistry involves a novel C–C bond transformation and offers a versatile protocol for the synthesis of substituted anilines. The use of O2 as an environmentally benign oxidant is demonstrated, and studies on model compounds suggest that this method may also be used for the depolymerization of lignin.
