- Epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by some molybdenum(0) and molybdenum(IV) complexes
-
Catalytic epoxidations of styrene, cyclohexene, 1-octene, and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene have been explored utilizing a variety of molybdenum(0) and molybdenum(IV) complexes as precatalysts and tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. The catalytic activities of the complexes MoCl4(CH3CN)2, Mo(CO)3(PTA)3 (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), Mo(CO)3(Mes), and a molybdenum(IV) calix[4]arene salt, [Et3NH][Mo{tBuC4}Cl(CH3CN)] have been investigated. The progress of reactions was monitored with reference to an internal standard by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Most of the complexes were found to be effective precatalysts with low catalyst loadings, giving rise to good to excellent conversion of alkenes and yield of the epoxides with the formation of minimal amount of corresponding diol and other side products. The catalytic reactions were found to be most efficient between 100 and 110 °C in minimal solvent or without added solvent.

- Nonheme manganese-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation. A lewis acid activation versus oxygen rebound mechanism: Evidence for the "third oxidant"
-
The catalytic properties of a series of chiral nonheme aminopyridinylmanganese(II) complexes [LMnII(OTf)2] were investigated. The above complexes were found to efficiently catalyze enantioselective olefin oxidation to the corresponding epoxides with different oxidants (peroxycarboxylic acids, alkyl hydroperoxides, iodosylarenes, etc.) with high conversions and selectivities (up to 100%) and enantiomeric excesses (up to 79%). The effect of the ligand structure on the catalytic performance was probed. Epoxidation enantioselectivities were found to be strongly dependent on the structure of the oxidants (performic, peracetic, and m-chloroperbenzoic acids; tert-butyl and cumyl hydroperoxides; iodosylbenzene and iodosylmesitylene), thus bearing evidence that the terminal oxidant molecule is incorporated in the structure of the oxygen-transferring intermediates. High-valence electron-paramagnetic-resonance-active manganese complexes [LMnIV=O]2+ and [LMnIV(μ-O) 2MnIIIL]3+ were detected upon interaction of the starting catalyst with the oxidants. The high-valence complexes did not epoxidize styrene and could themselves only contribute to minor olefin oxidation sideways. However, the oxomanganese(IV) species were found to perform the Lewis acid activation of the acyl and alkyl hydroperoxides or iodosylarenes to form the new type of oxidant [oxomanganese(IV) complex with a terminal oxidant], with the latter accounting for the predominant enantioselective epoxidation pathway in the nonheme manganese-catalyzed olefin epoxidations.

- Rate-determining water-assisted O-O bond cleavage of an Fe III-OOH intermediate in a bio-inspired nonheme iron-catalyzed oxidation
-
Hydrocarbon oxidations by bio-inspired nonheme iron catalysts and H 2O2 have been proposed to involve an FeIII-OOH intermediate that decays via a water-assisted mechanism to form an Fe V(O)(OH) oxidant. Herein we report kinetic evidence for this pathway in the oxidation of 1-octene catalyzed by [FeII(TPA)(NCCH 3)]2+ (1, TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). The (TPA)FeIII(OOH) intermediate 2 can be observed at -40 C and is found to undergo first-order decay, which is accelerated by water. Interestingly, the decay rate of 2 is comparable to that of product formation, indicating that the decay of 2 results in olefin oxidation. Furthermore, the Eyring activation parameters for the decay of 2 and product formation are identical, and both processes are associated with an H2O/D2O KIE of 2.5. Taken together with previous 18O-labeling data, these results point to a water-assisted heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of 2 as the rate-limiting step in olefin oxidation.

- Iron-catalyzed olefin cis-dihydroxylation by H2O2: Electrophilic versus nucleophilic mechanisms
-
Previous studies have classified a series of nonheme iron catalysts for olefin cis-dihydroxylation by H2O2 into two groups. Complex 1, [(TPA)Fe(OTf)2], representative of Class A catalysts, forms a low-spin FeIII-OOH intermediate that gives rise to a high-valent FeV(=O)OH oxidant. The preference of this catalyst for electron-rich olefins demonstrates its electrophilic character. On the other hand, complex 2, [(6-Me3-TPA)Fe(OTf)2], representative of Class B catalysts, prefers instead to oxidize electron-deficient olefins, suggesting an oxidant with nucleophilic character. It is suggested that such a nucleophilic oxidant may be the high-spin FeIII-OOH intermediate derived from 2 or the FeIV(=O)(?OH) species derived therefrom. Copyright

- Ligand topology effects on olefin oxidations by bio-inspired [Fe II(N2Py2)] catalysts
-
Linear tetradentate N2Py2 ligands can coordinate to an octahedral FeII center in three possible topologies (cis-α, cis-β, and trans). While for the N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-l,2- diaminoethane (bpmen) complex, only the cis-α topology has been observed, for N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-diamino-cyclohexane (bpmcn) both cis-α and cis-β isomers have been reported. To date, no facile interconversion between cis-α and cis-β topologies has been observed for iron(II) complexes even at high temperatures. However, this work provides evidence for facile interconversion in solution of cis-α, cis-β, and trans topologies for [Fe(bpmpn)X2] (bpmpn = N, N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3- diaminopropane; X = triflate, CH3CN) complexes. As reported previously, the catalytic behavior of cis-α and cis-β isomers of [Fe(bpmcn)(OTf)2] with respect to olefin oxidation depends dramatically on the geometry adopted by the iron complex. To establish a general pattern of the catalysis/ topology dependence, this work presents an extended comparison of the catalytic behavior for oxidation of olefins of a family of [Fe(N2py2)] complexes that present different topologies. 18O labeling experiments provide evidence for a complex mechanistic land-scape in which several pathways should be considered. Complexes with a trans topology catalyze only non-water-assisted epoxidation. In contrast, complexes with a cis-α topology, such as [Fe(bpmen)X2] and [Fe(α-bpmcn)-(OTf)2], can catalyze both epoxidation and cis-dihydroxylation through a water-assisted mechanism. Surprisingly, [Fe(bpmpn)X2] and [Fe(β-bpmcn)-(OTf)2] catalyze epoxidation via a water-assisted pathway and cis-dihydroxylation via a non-water-assisted mechanism, a result that requires two independent and distinct oxidants.

- Access to enantiopure aromatic epoxides and diols using epoxide hydrolases derived from total biofilter DNA
-
Metagenomic DNA is a rich source of genes encoding novel epoxide hydrolases (EHs). We retrieved two genes encoding functional EHs from total DNA isolated from biofilter-derived biomass, using PCR with EH-specific degenerate primers followed by genome-walking PCR. The degenerate primers were based on two EH-specific consensus sequences: HGWP and GHDWG. The resulting recombinant EHs, Kau2 and Kau8, were expressed in Escherichia coli, and their enantioselectivity and regioselectivity were determined using 13 different epoxide substrates. The EH Kau2 had broad substrate specificity and preferentially hydrolyzed epoxides with S-configuration. It showed high enantioselectivity towards aromatic epoxides such as styrene oxide, p-nitrostyrene oxide, and trans-1-phenyl-1,2-epoxypropane. In addition, Kau2 showed enantioconvergent hydrolysis activity. The EH Kau8 also showed broad substrate specificity and preferentially hydrolyzed epoxides with R-configuration. High enantioselectivity was observed for p-nitrostyrene oxide, and the hydrolysis activity of Kau8 was less enantioconvergent than that of Kau2. To determine the usefulness of Kau2 for synthetic applications, preparative-scale biohydrolysis reactions were performed. Specifically, two kinetic resolutions were carried out with 80 g/L of racemic trans-1-phenyl-1,2-epoxypropane, affording both (1R,2R)-epoxide and the corresponding (1R,2S)-diol in high enantiomeric excess (>99%) and good yield (>45%). In addition, a process based on enantioconvergent hydrolysis by the EH Kau2 was established for racemic cis-1-phenyl-1,2-epoxypropane at a concentration of 13 g/L, resulting in the formation of the corresponding (1R,2R)-diol with a 97% yield and an enantiomeric excess exceeding 98%.

A convergent total synthesis of promysalin, a metabolite of Pseudomonas putida RW10S1 with antibiotic activity, is described. The synthetic approach is based around a salicyldehydroproline core and a dihydroxymyristamide fragment. Crucial steps include a MacMillan asymmetric α-hydroxylation applied for the construction of the myristamide framework, and a lactam reduction by Superhydride to obtain the dehydroproline fragment. Because of the modular nature of the synthesis, ready access to analogues for biological evaluation is available.

- Iron-catalyzed olefin cis-dihydroxylation using a bio-inspired N,N, O-ligand
-
Nature has evolved enzymes that carry out the cis-dihydroxylation of C=C bonds in the biodegradation of arenes in the environment. These enzymes, called Rieske dioxygenases, have mononuclear iron centers coordinated to a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad motif that has emerged as a common structural element among many nonheme iron enzymes. In contrast, olefin cis-dihydroxylation is conveniently carried out by OsO4 and related species in synthetic procedures. To develop more environmentally benign strategies for carrying out these transformations, we have designed Ph-DPAH [(di-(2-pyridyl)methyl)benzamide], a tridentate ligand that mimics the facial N,N,O site of the mononuclear iron center in the Rieske dioxygenases. Its iron(II) complex has been found to catalyze olefin cis-dihydroxylation almost exclusively and with high H2O2 conversion efficiency on a wide range of substrates. and 18O labeling experiments suggest the participation of an FeV oxidant.

- Dendrimer crown-ether tethered multi-wall carbon nanotubes support methyltrioxorhenium in the selective oxidation of olefins to epoxides
-
Benzo-15-crown-5 ether supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by tethered poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers efficiently coordinated methyltrioxorhenium in the selective oxidation of olefins to epoxides. Environmentally friendly hydrogen peroxide was used as a primary oxidant. Up to first and second generation dendrimer aggregates were prepared by applying a divergent PAMAM methodology. FT-IR, XRD and ICP-MS analyses confirmed the effective coordination of methyltrioxorhenium by the benzo-15-crown-5 ether moiety after immobilization on MWCNTs. The novel catalysts converted olefins to the corresponding epoxides in high yield without the use of Lewis base additives, or anhydrous hydrogen peroxide, the catalyst being stable for more than six oxidative runs. In the absence of the PAMAM structure, the synthesis of diols largely prevailed.

- Cis-Dihydroxylation of electron deficient olefins catalysed by an oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex with H2O2
-
Room temperature oxidation of olefins catalysed by a symmetrical (μ-oxo)(μ-hydroxo)diiron(III) complex (1) based on the amino pyridyl ligand bpmen (bpmen = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-pyridyl methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) with hydrogen peroxide under the conditions of limiting substrate is described. Excellent substrate conversions have been achieved under ambient reaction conditions. The olefin oxidation efficacy of the 1/H2O2 system has been found to get improved in presence of acetic acid. The catalytic system has been shown to oxidise electron-deficient olefins to the corresponding cis-diols, while epoxidation is favoured in case of electron-rich olefins. The μ-oxo diiron(III) core of the catalyst 1 has been found be regenerated after the catalytic turnovers. Addition of a second batch of substrate and oxidant at the end of the olefin oxidation results in the formation of almost identical amounts of epoxides/diols. Moreover, the regenerated catalyst exhibits a significantly higher preference towards the oxidation of electron-deficient olefins.

- Synthesis of di-nitrogen Schiff base complexes of methyltrioxorhenium(VII) and their application in epoxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant
-
Several di-nitrogen Schiff bases were synthesized through the condensation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde with primary amines. The Schiff bases as ligands coordinated with methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) smoothly to afford the correspondent complexes which were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. One of the complexes was analyzed by X-ray crystallography as well. The results revealed that the complexes display distorted octahedral geometry in the solid state with a trans-position of Schiff base. Catalytic results indicated that the complexes as catalysts increased the selectivity of epoxides remarkably compared with MTO in the epoxidation of alkenes with 30% hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and the increasing rate depended on the structure of the Schiff base ligands of the complexes. The results indicated that the stronger the donating ability of the ligand, the higher selectivity of epoxides the complex gave in the epoxidation of alkenes with 30% hydrogen peroxide as oxidant.

- Ligand topology tuning of iron-catalyzed hydrocarbon oxidations
-
Quite unexpectedly, the topology of the tetradentate ligand in [FeII-(bpmcn)(OTf)2] (bpmcn = N,N′- bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N,N′-dimethyl-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane), whether cis-α or cis-β (see picture), determines the course of catalytic alkane hydroxylation and olefin oxidation reactions with H2O2, which afford products with varying stereo-selectivity and dramatically different sources of incorporated oxygen. These results demonstrate the exquisite role ligands can play in the fine tuning of the reactivity of an iron catalyst.

- Niobium oxide and phosphoric acid impregnated silica-titania as oxidative-acidic bifunctional catalyst
-
Silica-titania modified by impregnation of niobium oxide and phosphoric acid (P/Nb/Ti-Si) possesses both oxidative active site and Br?nsted acid. Results of the catalytic evaluation in consecutive transformation of 1-octene to 1,2-octanediol through formation of 1,2-epoxyoctane suggested that Nb 2O5 was a more important oxidative active site compared to tetrahedral Ti species. Besides, co-existence of Nb2O5 and PO43- modifiers was crucial for Br?nsted acidity formation. However, the amount of Br?nsted acid created was strongly dependent on the synthesis method that was greatly influenced by the interfacial interaction between Nb2O5 and PO 43- in the material to produce NbOPO4 3-H+ bonding. It has been demonstrated that the P/Nb/Ti-Si was an excellent oxidative-acidic bifunctional catalyst to produce 1,2-octanediol.

- Post-modified porphyrin imine gels with improved chemical stability and efficient heterogeneous activity in CO2 transformation
-
Efficient heterogeneous gel catalysts have been developed based on dynamic covalent chemistry and post-modification methods for the chemical fixation of CO2. Various porphyrin-based imine gels are synthesized and subsequent reduction of imine bonds and metallation with various metal centers yields gel catalysts. The gels are characterized by a number of techniques including SEM, TEM, EDX, FT-IR, CP/MAS 13C NMR, and XPS. The resulting gels not only have network structures including micro-, meso- and macropores, but also show improved chemical stability and strong interactions between CO2 and pore channels. The gel catalysts show good catalytic activity towards the cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2 to cyclic carbonates using wet gels. Post-modified gel catalysts with a Zn(ii) center (ZnTAPP-Go-r) show a high product yield and high stability with recyclability over 5 cycles.

- Oxidizing Ability of a Dioxygen-Activating Nonheme Iron(II)-Benzilate Complex Immobilized on Gold Nanoparticles
-
An iron(II)-benzilate complex [(TPASH)FeII(benzilate)]ClO4@C8Au (2) (TPASH = 11-((6-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)undecane-1-thiol) immobilized on octanethiol stabilized gold nanoparticles (C8Au) of core diameter less than 5 nm has been prepared to evaluate its reactivity toward O2-dependent oxidations compared to a nonimmobilized complex [(TPA-O-Allyl)FeII(benzilate)]ClO4 (1a) (TPA-O-Allyl = N-((6-(allyloxymethyl)pyridin-2-yl)methyl)(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine). X-ray crystal structure of the nonimmobilized complex 1a reveals a six-coordinate iron(II) center in which the TPA-O-Allyl acts as a pentadentate ligand and the benzilate anion binds in monodentate fashion. Both the complexes (1a and 2) react with dioxygen under ambient conditions to form benzophenone as the sole product through decarboxylation of the coordinated benzilate. Interception studies reveal that a nucleophilic iron-oxygen intermediate is formed in the decarboxylation reaction. The oxidants from both the complexes are able to carry out oxo atom transfer reactions. The immobilized complex 2 not only performs faster decarboxylation but also exhibits enhanced reactivity in oxo atom transfer to sulfides. Importantly, the immobilized complex 2, unlike 1a, displays catalytic turnovers in sulfide oxidation. However, the complexes are not efficient to carry out cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes. Although the immobilized complex yields a slightly higher amount of cis-diol from 1-octene, restricted access of dioxygen and substrates at the coordinatively saturated metal centers of the complexes likely makes the resulting iron-oxygen species less active in oxygen atom transfer to alkenes. The results implicate that surface immobilized nonheme iron complexes containing accessible coordination sites would exhibit better reactivity in O2-dependent oxygenation reactions.

- Raw and waste plant materials as sources of fungi with epoxide hydrolase activity. Application to the kinetic resolution of aryl and alkyl glycidyl ethers
-
The by-products of olive oil production can be used as sources of microbial strains. Penicillium sp., Aspergillus terreus, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Aspergillus tubingensis and Aspergillus niger were selected on the basis of their epoxide-hydrolyzing activity towards racemic rac-glycidyl phenyl ether. We studied the effect on enzymatic activity of adding styrene oxide to the growth medium. It induced the biosynthesis of epoxide hydrolases and reduced cell growth. The resolution capacity of the five fungi was tested on rac-glycidyl phenyl ether, rac-benzyl glycidyl ether, rac-1,2-epoxyhexane and rac-1,2-epoxyoctane. The resolution of rac-glycidyl phenyl ether by A. niger, rac-benzyl glycidyl ether by P. aurantiogriseum and A. terreus, rac-1,2-epoxyhexane by A. tubingensis and rac-1,2-epoxyoctane by A. terreus provided (S)-3-phenoxy-1,2-propanediol (45.1% yield, 51.4% ee), (R)-3-benzyloxy-1,2-propanediol (40.8% yield, 43.3% ee), (S)-3-benzyloxy-1,2-propanediol (45.4% yield, 45.6% ee), (R)-1,2-hexanediol (70.4% yield, 24.4% ee) and (R)-1,2-octanediol (21.4% yield, 27.5% ee), respectively. The (R)-enantiopreference of the epoxide hydrolases from P. aurantiogriseum is unprecedented.

Two binary and two ternary mono-oxovanadium (IV) complexes of acetylacetonate, curcumin and N,N′-bis(2-pyridyl)thiourea were synthesized. They were characterized using elemental analysis, infrared and UV–visible spectroscopies and magnetic and conductivity measurements. The formation constants Kf were determined from spectrophotometric measurements. The catalytic potential of the VO complexes was investigated for the oxidation of 1-octene by aqueous H2O2 in acetonitrile. They display high catalytic potential for the conversion of 1-octene with low chemoselectivity to the epoxy product. The VO complexes exhibit good antibacterial and antimicrobial activities. The antioxidant activity of the VO complexes and their ligands was investigated. The VO complexes show high DNA affinity and DNA cleavage ability.

- Iron-catalyzed olefin epoxidation in the presence of acetic acid: Insights into the nature of the metal-based oxidant
-
The iron complexes [(BPMEN)Fe(OTf)2] (1) and [(TPA)Fe(OTf) 2] (2) [BPMEN = N,N′-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N,N′-dimethyl- 1,2-ethylenediamine; TPA = tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine] catalyze the oxidation of olefins by H2O2 to yield epoxides and cis-diols. The addition of acetic acid inhibits olefin cis-dihydroxylation and enhances epoxidation for both 1 and 2. Reactions carried out at 0°C with 0.5 mol % catalyst and a 1:1.5 olefin/H2O2 ratio in a 1:2 CH 3CN/CH3COOH solvent mixture result in nearly quantitative conversions of cyclooctene to epoxide within 1 min. The nature of the active species formed in the presence of acetic acid has been probed at low temperature. For 2, in the absence of substrate, [(TPA)FeIII(OOH) (CH3COOH)]2+ and [(TPA)FeIVO(NCCH 3)]2+ intermediates can be observed. However, neither is the active epoxidizing species. In fact, [(TPA)FeIVO(NCCH 3)]2+ is shown to form in competition with substrate oxidation. Consequently, it is proposed that epoxidation is mediated by [(TPA)FeV(O)(OOCCH3)]2+, generated from O-O bond heterolysis of the [(TPA)FeIII(OOH)(CH3COOH)] 2+ intermediate, which is promoted by the protonation of the terminal oxygen atom of the hydroperoxide by the coordinated carboxylic acid.

- In situ formation of peracetic acid in iron-catalyzed epoxidations by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of acetic acid
-
Iron complexes (tpa)Fe( OTf)2 (1) and (bpmen)Fe(OTf)2 (2) [tpa = tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)-amine; bpmen = N,N′-bis-(2- pyridylmethyl)-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-ethylenediamine] were found to catalyze the in situ formation of AcOOH from H2O2 and AcOH in the course of olefin oxidations. While oxidation of cyclooctene by H 2O2 catalyzed by 1 gives nearly equimolar epoxide and cis-diol products, introduction of AcOH to the reaction greatly enhances the selectivity for epoxidation. The resulting product distribution is nearly identical to that of cyclooctene oxidation by AcOOH catalyzed by 1. The in situ generation of AcOOH from H2O2 and AcOH in epoxidation catalyzed by some iron complexes opens a possibility to attain AcOOH-type efficiency of epoxidation using H2O2 as a terminal oxidant.

- An osmium(III)/osmium(V) redox couple generating OsV(O)(OH) center for cis -1,2-dihydroxylation of alkenes with H2O2: Os complex with a nitrogen-based tetradentate ligand
-
For the synthesis of the 1,2-diols, cis-1,2-dihydroxylation of alkenes catalyzed by osmium(VIII) tetroxide (OsO4) is a powerful method. However, OsO4 is quite toxic due to its highly volatile and sublimable nature. Thus, the development of alternative catalysts for cis-1,2-dihydroxylation of alkenes is highly challenging. Our approach involves the use of a nitrogen-based tetradentate ligand, tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa), for an osmium center to develop a new osmium catalyst and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a cheap and environmentally benign oxidant. The new Os-tpa complex acts as a very efficient turnover catalyst for syn-selective dihydroxylation of various alkenes (turnover number ～1000) in aqueous media, and H2O2 oxidant is formally incorporated into the products quantitatively (100% atom efficiency). The reaction intermediates involved in the catalytic cycle have been isolated and characterized crystallographically as [OsIII(OH)(H 2O)(tpa)]2+ and [OsV(O)(OH)(tpa)]2+ complexes. The observed syn-selectivity, structural characteristics of the intermediates, and kinetic studies have suggested a concerted [3 + 2]-cycloaddition mechanism between [OsV(O)(OH)(tpa)]2+ and alkenes, which is strongly supported by DFT calculations.

- A new practical method for the osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation of olefins using bleach as the terminal oxidant
-
A general procedure for the osmium-catalyzed dihydroxylation of various olefins using bleach as oxidant is reported for the first time. Aromatic and aliphatic olefins yield the corresponding cis-1,2-diols in the presence of dihydroquinine or dihydroquinidine derivatives (Sharpless ligands) with good to excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities under optimized pH conditions. In the presence of a small excess of bleach as reoxidant fast dihydroxylation takes place even at 0°C. Under optimum reaction conditions it is possible to dihydroxylate terminal aliphatic and aromatic olefins as well as internal olefins. The low price of the oxidant and the simple handling of bleach make this dihydroxylation variant attractive for further applications.

- Preparation of high purity 1,2-diols by catalytic oxidation of linear terminal alkenes with H2O2 in the presence of carboxylic acids under solvent-free conditions
-
The oxidation of terminal alkenes was smoothly catalyzed by a recyclable and environmentally friendly catalytic system: [(C18H 37)2N(CH3)2]3[PW 4O16]/H2O2/formic acid. This new catalytic system is not only capable of catalyzing oxidation of terminal alkenes with a phase-transfer character, but also under solvent-free conditions, avoiding the use of chlorinated solvents. Many different kinds of terminal alkenes could be converted to the corresponding 1,2-diols of high purity in high yields. The catalyst could be easily separated and reused after reaction. Both fresh and used [(C18H37)2N(CH3) 2]3[PW4O16] catalyst was characterized by Raman and FTIR.

- Catalytic oxygen atom transfer promoted by tethered Mo(VI) dioxido complexes onto silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles
-
The preparation of three novel active and stable magnetic nanocatalysts for the selective liquid-phase oxidation of several olefins, has been reported. The heterogeneous systems are based on the coordination of cis-MoO2 moiety onto three different SCMNP@Si-(L1-L3) magnetically active supports, functionalized with silylated acylpyrazolonate ligands L1, L2 and L3. Nanocatalysts thoroughly characterized by ATR-IR spectroscopy, TGA and ICP-MS analyses, showed excellent catalytic performances in the oxidation of conjugated or unconjugated olefins either in organic or in aqueous solvents. The good magnetic properties of these catalytic systems allow their easy recyclability, from the reaction mixture, and reuse over five runs without significant decrease in the activity, either in organic or water solvent, demonstrating their versatility and robustness.

- Well-defined Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed Hydrogenation of Carbonates and Polycarbonates

We herein report the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonates and polycarbonates into their corresponding diols/alcohols using well-defined, air-stable, high-valent cobalt complexes. Several novel Cp*Co(III) complexes bearing N,O-chelation were isolated for the first time and structurally characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray crystallography. These novel Co(III) complexes have shown excellent catalytic activity to produce value added diols/alcohols from carbonate and polycarbonates through hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen as sole reductant or iPrOH as transfer hydrogenation source. To demonstrate the developed methodology's practical applicability, we have recycled the bisphenol A monomer from compact disc (CD) through hydrogenation under the established reaction conditions using phosphine-free, earth-abundant, air- and moisture-stable high-valent cobalt catalysts.

- Understanding the mechanism of N coordination on framework Ti of Ti-BEA zeolite and its promoting effect on alkene epoxidation reaction
-
The function of ammonium salts on the epoxidation performance over Ti-BEA zeolite was investigated in detail. Experiments of alkene epoxidation, side reactions of epoxide and decomposition of H2O2 with or without ammonium salts were designed, and the UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed to analyze the structure of Ti-hydroperoxo species. It is revealed that the ammonia (or amines) dissociated from the ammonium salt would chelate with the linear Ti-η1(OOH) species and form a bridged Ti-η2(OOH)-R species, which is more stable, more weaker in epoxide adsorption and acidity as well. Therefore, side reactions and H2O2 decomposition would be suppressed, and both alkene conversion and epoxide selectivity would be promoted simultaneously. On the other hand, the excessive NH3?H2O (NH3/Ti>1) or NaOH bond with the Ti-η2(OOH)-R species and generate salt-like Ti-η2(OO)-M+ species, resulting in the deactivation of Ti active center. While for ammonium salts, e.g. NH4Cl, the limited dissociation degree along with the acidic environment help the Ti active center to maintain in highly active. In short, this work provides a practical Ti active center tuning method for Ti-BEA zeolite, as well as a thorough understanding of its Ti-hydroperoxo species.

- g-C3N4/metal halide perovskite composites as photocatalysts for singlet oxygen generation processes for the preparation of various oxidized synthons
-
g-C3N4/metal halide perovskite composites were prepared and used for the first time as photocatalysts forin situ1O2generation to perform hetero Diels-Alder, ene and oxidation reactions with suitable dienes and alkenes. The standardized methodology was made applicable to a variety of olefinic substrates. The scope of the method is finely illustrated and the reactions afforded desymmetrized hydroxy-ketone derivatives, unsaturated ketones and epoxides. Some limitations were also observed, especially in the case of the alkene oxidations, and poor chemoselectivity was somewhere observed in this work which is the first application of MHP-based composites forin situ1O2generation. The experimental protocol can be used as a platform to further expand the knowledge and applicability of MHPs to organic reactions, since perovskites offer a rich variety of tuning strategies which may be explored to improve reaction yields and selectivities.

- A stand-alone cobalt bis(dicarbollide) photoredox catalyst epoxidates alkenes in water at extremely low catalyst load
-
The cobalt bis(dicarbollide) complex, Na[3,3′-Co(η5-1,2-C2B9H11) (Na[1]), is an effective photoredox catalyst for the oxidation of alkenes to epoxides in water. Advantageous features of Na[1] include its lack of photoluminescence, high solubility and surfactant behavior in aqueous media, as well as the donor ability of the carborane ligand and high oxidizing power of the Co4+/3+ couple. These features differentiate it from the well-known and widely used photosensitizer tris (2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium(ii) ([Ru(bpy)3]2+), which also participates in electron transfer through an outer sphere mechanism. A comparison of the catalytic performance of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ with Na[1] for alkene photo-oxidation is fully in favor of Na[1], as the former shows very low or null efficiency. With a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol% conversions between 65-97% have been obtained in short reaction times, 15 minutes, with moderate selectivity for the corresponding epoxide, due to the formation of side products as diols. But when the catalyst loading is reduced to 0.01 mol%, the selectivity for the corresponding epoxide increased considerably, being the only compound formed after 15 minutes of reaction (selectivity >99%). High TON values have been obtained (TON = 8500) for the epoxidation of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes in water. We have verified that Na[3,3′-Co(η5-1,2-C2B9H11)2] acts as a photocatalyst in both the epoxidation of alkenes and in their hydroxylation in aqueous medium with a higher rate for epoxidation than for hydroxylation. Preliminary photooxidation tests using methyl oleate as the substrate led to the selective epoxidation of the double bond. These results represent a promising starting point for the development of practical methods for the processing of unsaturated fatty acids, such as the valorisation of animal fat waste using this sustainable photoredox catalyst.

- The formyloxyl radical: Electrophilicity, C-H bond activation and anti-Markovnikov selectivity in the oxidation of aliphatic alkenes
-
In the past the formyloxyl radical, HC(O)O, had only been rarely experimentally observed, and those studies were theoretical-spectroscopic in the context of electronic structure. The absence of a convenient method for the preparation of the formyloxyl radical has precluded investigations into its reactivity towards organic substrates. Very recently, we discovered that HC(O)O is formed in the anodic electrochemical oxidation of formic acid/lithium formate. Using a [CoIIIW12O40]5- polyanion catalyst, this led to the formation of phenyl formate from benzene. Here, we present our studies into the reactivity of electrochemically in situ generated HC(O)O with organic substrates. Reactions with benzene and a selection of substituted derivatives showed that HC(O)O is mildly electrophilic according to both experimentally and computationally derived Hammett linear free energy relationships. The reactions of HC(O)O with terminal alkenes significantly favor anti-Markovnikov oxidations yielding the corresponding aldehyde as the major product as well as further oxidation products. Analysis of plausible reaction pathways using 1-hexene as a representative substrate favored the likelihood of hydrogen abstraction from the allylic C-H bond forming a hexallyl radical followed by strongly preferred further attack of a second HC(O)O radical at the C1 position. Further oxidation products are surmised to be mostly a result of two consecutive addition reactions of HC(O)O to the CC double bond. An outer-sphere electron transfer between the formyloxyl radical donor and the [CoIIIW12O40]5- polyanion acceptor forming a donor-acceptor [D+-A-] complex is proposed to induce the observed anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Finally, the overall reactivity of HC(O)O towards hydrogen abstraction was evaluated using additional substrates. Alkanes were only slightly reactive, while the reactions of alkylarenes showed that aromatic substitution on the ring competes with C-H bond activation at the benzylic position. C-H bonds with bond dissociation energies (BDE) ≤ 85 kcal mol-1 are easily attacked by HC(O)O and reactivity appears to be significant for C-H bonds with a BDE of up to 90 kcal mol-1. In summary, this research identifies the reactivity of HC(O)O towards radical electrophilic substitution of arenes, anti-Markovnikov type oxidation of terminal alkenes, and indirectly defines the activity of HC(O)O towards C-H bond activation.

- Transfer hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates and polycarbonate to methanol and diols by iron pincer catalysts
-
Herein, we report the first example on the use of an earth-abundant metal complex as the catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates to methanol and diols. The advantage of this method is the use of isopropanol as the hydrogen source, thus avoiding the handling of flammable hydrogen under high pressure. The reaction offers an indirect route for the reduction of CO2 to methanol. In addition, poly(propylene carbonate) was converted to methanol and propylene glycol. This methodology can be considered as an attractive opportunity for the chemical recycling of polycarbonates.

Structural analysis revealed that compound 1 was constructed by two identical subunits {Pr2(H2O)3(AsW9O33)3W2O4} bridged together by two pzdc ligands. In addition, compound 1 could act as an efficient catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins and oxidation of alcohols with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidant.

- Reductive Activation of O2 by Non-Heme Iron(II) Benzilate Complexes of N4 Ligands: Effect of Ligand Topology on the Reactivity of O2-Derived Oxidant
-
A series of iron(II) benzilate complexes (1-7) with general formula [(L)FeII(benzilate)]+ have been isolated and characterized to study the effect of supporting ligand (L) on the reactivity of metal-based oxidant generated in the reaction with dioxygen. Five tripodal N4 ligands (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA in 1), tris(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (6-Me3-TPA in 2), N1,N1-dimethyl-N2,N2-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (iso-BPMEN in 3), N1,N1-dimethyl-N2,N2-bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (6-Me2-iso-BPMEN in 4), and tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (TBimA in 7)) along with two linear tetradentate amine ligands (N1,N2-dimethyl-N1,N2-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (BPMEN in 5) and N1,N2-dimethyl-N1,N2-bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (6-Me2-BPMEN in 6)) were employed in the study. Single-crystal X-ray structural studies reveal that each of the complex cations of 1-3 and 5 contains a mononuclear six-coordinate iron(II) center coordinated by a monoanionic benzilate, whereas complex 7 contains a mononuclear five-coordinate iron(II) center. Benzilate binds to the iron center in a monodentate fashion via one of the carboxylate oxygens in 1 and 7, but it coordinates in a bidentate chelating mode through carboxylate oxygen and neutral hydroxy oxygen in 2, 3, and 5. All of the iron(II) complexes react with dioxygen to exhibit quantitative decarboxylation of benzilic acid to benzophenone. In the decarboxylation pathway, dioxygen becomes reduced on the iron center and the resulting iron-oxygen oxidant shows versatile reactivity. The oxidants are nucleophilic in nature and oxidize sulfide to sulfoxide and sulfone. Furthermore, complexes 2 and 4-6 react with alkenes to produce cis-diols in moderate yields with the incorporation of both the oxygen atoms of dioxygen. The oxygen atoms of the nucleophilic oxidants do not exchange with water. On the basis of interception studies, nucleophilic iron(II) hydroperoxides are proposed to generate in situ in the reaction pathways. The difference in reactivity of the complexes toward external substrates could be attributed to the geometry of the O2-derived iron-oxygen oxidant. DFT calculations suggest that, among all possible geometries and spin states, high-spin side-on iron(II) hydroperoxides are energetically favorable for the complexes of 6-Me3-TPA, 6-Me2-iso-BPMEN, BPMEN, and 6-Me2-BPMEN ligands, while high spin end-on iron(II) hydroperoxides are favorable for the complexes of TPA, iso-BPMEN, and TBimA ligands.

- A Well-Defined Osmium-Cupin Complex: Hyperstable Artificial Osmium Peroxygenase
-
Thermally stable TM1459 cupin superfamily protein from Thermotoga maritima was repurposed as an osmium (Os) peroxygenase by metal-substitution strategy employing the metal-binding promiscuity. This novel artificial metalloenzyme bears a datively bound Os ion supported by the 4-histidine motif. The well-defined Os center is responsible for not only the catalytic activity but also the thermodynamic stability of the protein folding, leading to the robust biocatalyst (Tm ≈ 120 °C). The spectroscopic analysis and atomic resolution X-ray crystal structures of Os-bound TM1459 revealed two types of donor sets to Os center with octahedral coordination geometry. One includes trans-dioxide, OH, and mer-three histidine imidazoles (O3N3 donor set), whereas another one has four histidine imidazoles plus OH and water molecule in a cis position (O2N4 donor set). The Os-bound TM1459 having the latter donor set (O2N4 donor set) was evaluated as a peroxygenase, which was able to catalyze cis-dihydroxylation of several alkenes efficiently. With the low catalyst loading (0.01% mol), up to 9100 turnover number was achieved for the dihydroxylation of 2-methoxy-6-vinyl-naphthalene (50 mM) using an equivalent of H2O2 as oxidant at 70 °C for 12 h. When octene isomers were dihydroxylated in a preparative scale for 5 h (2% mol cat.), the terminal alkene octene isomers was converted to the corresponding diols in a higher yield as compared with the internal alkenes. The result indicates that the protein scaffold can control the regioselectivity by the steric hindrance. This protein scaffold enhances the efficiency of the reaction by suppressing disproportionation of H2O2 on Os reaction center. Moreover, upon a simple site-directed mutagenesis, the catalytic activity was enhanced by about 3-fold, indicating that Os-TM1459 is evolvable nascent osmium peroxygenase.

Toward this end, in this work a novel catalyst bearing a sterically encumbered tetradentate ligand based in the tpa (tpa = tris(2-methylpyridyl)amine) scaffold, [FeII(CF3SO3)2(5-tips3tpa)], 1 has been designed. The steric demand of the ligand was envisioned as a key element to support a high catalytic activity by isolating the metal center, preventing bimolecular decomposition paths and facilitating product release. In synergistic combination with a Lewis acid that helps sequestering the product, 1 provides good to excellent yields of diol products (up to 97% isolated yield), in short reaction times under mild experimental conditions using a slight excess (1.5 equiv) of aqueous hydrogen peroxide, from the oxidation of a broad range of olefins. Predictable site selective syn-dihydroxylation of diolefins is shown. The encumbered nature of the ligand also provides a unique tool that has been used in combination with isotopic analysis to define the nature of the active species and the mechanism of activation of H2O2. Furthermore, 1 is shown to be a competent synthetic tool for preparing O-labeled diols using water as oxygen source.

- Complexes of cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) with a chiral tetradentate tripodal-like ligand system: Syntheses, structures and catalytic activities
-
Racemic complexes with the general formula cis-[MoO2(bzacLn)] (1–4) (H2bzacLn?=?2-((4/5-R-2-hydroxyphenylamino)(pyridin-2-yl)methyl)-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione, where n?=?1–4 for R?=?H, 5-Me, 5-Cl and 4-Me, respectively and 2Hs represent the dissociable phenolic proton and the active tertiary CH proton) have been synthesized in 75–82% yields by reacting [MoO2(bzac)2] (Hbzac?=?benzoylacetone) with the potentially N2O-donor 5,5-membered fused chelate rings forming Schiff bases 4/5-R-2-(2-pyridylaldimine)phenols (HLn; n?=?1–4 for R?=?H, 4-Me, 4-Cl and 5-Me, respectively) in hot methanol. The chiral ligand system (bzacLn)2?in 1–4 is formed via metal assisted Mannich-type addition of benzoylacetonate methine to the azomethine fragment of HLn. All four complexes have been characterized by elemental (CHN) analysis, solution conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, spectroscopic (IR, UV–Vis and NMR) and electrochemical measurements. The molecular structures of 1–3 have been established by single crystal X-ray crystallography. In each complex, the chiral (bzacLn)2?acts as a tetradentate, N2O2-donor, tripodal-like ligand system and along with the two mutually cis oxo groups forms a distorted octahedral N2O4coordination environment around the molybdenum(VI) center. All four complexes are diamagnetic and non-electrolytic. The infrared spectra are generally consistent with the structural formulas of 1–4. The electronic spectra of 1–4 in dimethylformamide display two strong absorption bands in the range 245–300?nm. The cyclic voltammograms of 1–4 in dimethylformamide exhibit a metal centered one-electron reduction response within ?0.64 to ?0.74?V. All these complexes (1–4) and the analogous cis-[MoO2(acacL1–4)] (5–8) synthesized from [MoO2(acac)2] (Hacac?=?acetylacetone) and HL1–4have been evaluated for their bromoperoxidase activities.

- Cp2TiCl2-catalyzed cycloboration of α-olefins with PhBCl2in the synthesis of 2-alkyl(aryl,benzyl)-1-phenylboriranes
-
A one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-alkyl(aryl, benzyl)-1-phenylboriranes has been developed via the reaction of α-olefins with PhBCl2in the presence of Cp2TiCl2as the catalyst. The method implies the formation of boriranes as the result of transmetalation of titanacyclopropane intermediates generated in the reaction of α-olefins with Cp2TiCl2. Individual 1-phenyl-2-substituted boriranes were isolated and their structures confirmed by NMR spectral methods.

- Mechanism of catalytic cycloboration of Α-olefins with boron trichloride: the synthesis of hardly obtainable boriranes and the mechanistic DFT study of transmetalation of titanacyclopropane intermediates
-
A theoretically justified mechanism of transmetalation of 2-alkyl substituted titanacyclopropanes with BCl3 is proposed based on the DFT calculations of the thermodynamic and activation parameters of possible reaction pathways. Based on the data obtained, phenyl- and alkyldichloroboranes were proposed to be used as transmetalating agents along with BCl3 in the catalytic cycloboration in the presence of Cp2TiCl2 and Mg metal. It was shown that the barely accessible 1-phenyl-2-hexylborirane can be synthesized using PhBCl2.

- Highly Enantioselective Iron-Catalyzed cis-Dihydroxylation of Alkenes with Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidant via an FeIII-OOH Reactive Intermediate
-
The development of environmentally benign catalysts for highly enantioselective asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation (AD) of alkenes with broad substrate scope remains a challenge. By employing [FeII(L)(OTf)2] (L=N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine) as a catalyst, cis-diols in up to 99.8 % ee with 85 % isolated yield have been achieved in AD of alkenes with H2O2as an oxidant and alkenes in a limiting amount. This “[FeII(L)(OTf)2]+H2O2” method is applicable to both (E)-alkenes and terminal alkenes (24 examples >80 % ee, up to 1 g scale). Mechanistic studies, including18O-labeling, UV/Vis, EPR, ESI-MS analyses, and DFT calculations lend evidence for the involvement of chiral FeIII-OOH active species in enantioselective formation of the two C?O bonds.

- Heterometallic Metal-Organic Frameworks That Catalyze Two Different Reactions Sequentially
-
A series of copper- and alkaline-earth-metal-based multidimensional metal-organic frameworks, {[CuMg(pdc)2(H2O)4]·2H2O}n (1), [CuCa(pdc)2]n (2), [CuSr(pdc)2(H2O)3]n (3), and {[Cuba(pdc)2(H2O)5]·H2O}n (4), where H2Pdc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. Two different metals act as the active center to catalyze two kinds of reactions, viz., olefin to its epoxide followed by epoxide ring opening to afford the corresponding vicinal diol in a sequential manner.

- Design and preparation of a polymer resin-supported organoselenium catalyst with industrial potential
-
Hexavalent Se? Yes! Selenium on polymers exhibits quite different properties compared to that in small molecules. Hexavalent Se, rare in organoselenium chemistry, was found to be the major species on polymers. The high-valent Se species on recyclable polymer resins could quickly catalyze the oxidation reaction of cyclohexene with H2O2 in water to produce industrially important intermediate trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol in almost quantitative yield. In the catalytic cycle, high valent Se species were reduced to divalent Se, a highly activated species that could be re-oxidized by air so that no excess H2O2 was required for the reaction. The results were superior to those of reactions catalyzed by small molecules, for which excess H2O2, long reaction time or expensive CF3-activated catalysts and environmentally unfriendly MeCN solvent were required.

- Amine Catalysis for the Organocatalytic Diboration of Challenging Alkenes
-
The generation of in situ sp2–sp3diboron adducts has revolutionised the synthesis of organoboranes. Organocatalytic diboration reactions have represented a milestone in terms of unpredictable reactivity of these adducts. However, current methodologies have limitations in terms of substrate scope, selectivity and functional group tolerance. Here a new methodology based on the use of simple amines as catalyst is reported. This methodology provides a completely selective transformation overcoming current substrate scope and functional/protecting group limitations. Mechanistic studies have been included in this report.

- Regio- and Stereoselective Homologation of 1,2-Bis(Boronic Esters): Stereocontrolled Synthesis of 1,3-Diols and Sch 725674
-
1,2-Bis(boronic esters), derived from the enantioselective diboration of terminal alkenes, can be selectively homologated at the primary boronic ester by using enantioenriched primary/secondary lithiated carbamates or benzoates to give 1,3-bis(boronic esters), which can be subsequently oxidized to the corresponding secondary-secondary and secondary-tertiary 1,3-diols with full stereocontrol. The transformation was applied to a concise total synthesis of the 14-membered macrolactone, Sch 725674. The nine-step synthetic route also features a novel desymmetrizing enantioselective diboration of a divinyl carbinol derivative and high-yielding late-stage cross-metathesis and Yamaguchi macrolactonization reactions.

- Lipase-catalyzed stereoresolution of long-chain 1,2-alkanediols: A screening of preferable reaction conditions
-
Scalable lipase-catalytic method for the kinetic resolution of long-chain 1,2-alkanediol enantiomers via stereoselective cleavage of esters was developed. The influence of lipase, reaction medium, nucleophile, temperature and the structure of the acyl group on the reaction velocity, the stereopreference and the stereoselectivity of the deacylation was studied. In addition, the rate of the spontaneous intramolecular migration of different acyl groups was determined for the intermediate 2-monoesters. The acyl group migration may diminish the apparent stereoselectivity of the two-step process if fast migrating acyl groups are used. It was found that the migration rate of different acyl groups differs by up to two orders of magnitude, being faster for acetyl and isobutyryl and much slower for butyryl and benzoyl groups. The best results were obtained by the sequential methanolysis of bis-butyryl-1,2-alkanediols in an acetonitrile/methanol mixture catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) at 20 °C, affording (S)-1,2-alkanediols. Stereo- and chemoselective crystallization of the deacylated (S)-1,2-alkanediols from the reaction mixture complements the enzymatic process improving the stereochemical purity to up to ee > 99.8%. (R)-1,2-Alkanediol 2-monoesters were separated from the mother liquor and enriched stereochemically by repeated incubation with CALB, then separated, hydrolyzed with alkali and crystallized to afford (R)-alkanediols of ee > 99.8%.

- Temperature-dependent immobilization of a tungsten peroxo complex that catalyzes the hydroxymethoxylation of olefins
-
Abstract A tungsten peroxo complex stabilized by the bidentate picolinato ligand has been synthesized and then immobilized successfully on imidazole-functionalized silica. The immobilized tungsten-based catalyst was employed as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of β-alkoxy alcohols from olefins and methanol with H2O2. Regarding the catalyst evaluation and the results of characterization by the various methods, it was demonstrated that the immobilization of tungsten peroxo complex was highly temperature-dependent. The tungsten peroxo complex can dissociate and diffuse into the liquid phase at reaction temperature, resulting in a homogeneous reaction. Nevertheless, the catalytically active species was anchored on the imidazole-functionalized silica by hydrogen bonding as the temperature was lowered to 0°C after the reaction, which thus offered a highly effective approach for recycling the catalyst for consecutive cycles. In addition, various olefins can be converted to the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols with good conversion and selectivity under relative mild conditions by H2O2. Running hot and cold: A tungsten peroxo complex (see picture) can dissociate and diffuse into the liquid phase at the reaction temperature, resulting in a homogeneous reaction. After reaction, the catalytically active species was anchored on the functionalized silica by hydrogen-bonding as the temperature was lowered to 0°C. This offers an effective approach for catalyst recovery and recycling.

- Olefin cis-Dihydroxylation and Aliphatic C-H Bond Oxygenation by a Dioxygen-Derived Electrophilic Iron-Oxygen Oxidant
-
Many iron-containing enzymes involve metal-oxygen oxidants to carry out O2-dependent transformation reactions. However, the selective oxidation of C-H and C-C bonds by biomimetic complexes using O2 remains a major challenge in bioinspired catalysis. The reactivity of iron-oxygen oxidants generated from an FeII-benzilate complex of a facial N3 ligand were thus investigated. The complex reacted with O2 to form a nucleophilic oxidant, whereas an electrophilic oxidant, intercepted by external substrates, was generated in the presence of a Lewis acid. Based on the mechanistic studies, a nucleophilic FeII-hydroperoxo species is proposed to form from the benzilate complex, which undergoes heterolytic O-O bond cleavage in the presence of a Lewis acid to generate an FeIV-oxo-hydroxo oxidant. The electrophilic iron-oxygen oxidant selectively oxidizes sulfides to sulfoxides, alkenes to cis-diols, and it hydroxylates the C-H bonds of alkanes, including that of cyclohexane. Lewis acid mediated O-O bond cleavage: A nucleophilic iron(II)-hydroperoxo oxidant, formed upon oxidative decarboxylation of an iron(II)-α-hydroxy acid complex, undergoes heterolytic O-O bond cleavage in the presence of a Lewis acid to generate an electrophilic iron(IV)-oxo-hydroxo oxidant. The electrophilic oxidant oxidizes sulfides to sulfoxides and alkenes to cis-diols, and it hydroxylates the strong C-H bonds of aliphatic substrates.

- Catalytic epoxidation of olefin over supramolecular compounds of molybdenum oxide clusters and a copper complex
-
The catalytic epoxidation of olefin was investigated on two copper complex-modified molybdenum oxides with a 3D supramolecular structure, [Cu(bipy)]4[Mo15O47]·2H2O (1) and [CuI(bix)][(CuIbix)(δ-MoVI8O26)0.5] (2) (bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bix = 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene). Both compounds were catalytically active and stable for the epoxidation of cyclooctene, 1-octene, and styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) as oxidant. The excellent catalytic performance was attributed to the presence of stable coordination bonds between the molybdenum oxide and copper complex, which resulted in the formation of easily accessible Mo species with high electropositivity. In addition, the copper complex also acted as an active site for the activation of t-BuOOH, thus improving these copper complex-modified polyoxometalates.

- Crystal Structure and Catalytic Behavior in Olefin Epoxidation of a One-Dimensional Tungsten Oxide/Bipyridine Hybrid
-
The tungsten oxide/2,2′-bipyridine hybrid material [WO3(2,2′-bpy)]·nH2O (n = 1-2) (1) has been prepared in near quantitative yield by the reaction of H2WO4, 2,2′-bpy, and H2O in the mole ratio of ca. 1:2:700 at 160°C for 98 h in a rotating Teflon-lined digestion bomb. The solid-state structure of 1 was solved and refined through Rietveld analysis of high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction data collected for the microcrystalline powder. The material, crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Iba2, is composed of a one-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid polymer, ∞1[WO3(2,2′-bpy)], topologically identical to that found in the previously reported anhydrous phases [MO3(2,2′-bpy)] (M = Mo, W). While in the latter the N,N′-chelated 2,2′-bpy ligands of adjacent corner-shared {MO4N2} octahedra are positioned on the same side of the 1D chain, in 1 the 2,2′-bpy ligands alternate above and below the chain. The catalytic behavior of compound 1 for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene was compared with that for several other tungsten- or molybdenum-based (pre)catalysts, including the hybrid polymer [MoO3(2,2′-bpy)]. While the latter exhibits superior performance when tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) is used as the oxidant, compound 1 is superior when aqueous hydrogen peroxide is used, allowing near-quantitative conversion of the olefin to the epoxide. With H2O2, compounds 1 and [MoO3(2,2′-bpy)] act as sources of soluble active species, namely, the oxodiperoxo complex [MO(O2)2(2,2′-bpy)], which is formed in situ. Compounds 1 and [WO(O2)2(2,2′-bpy)] (2) were further tested in the epoxidation of cyclododecene, trans-2-octene, 1-octene, (R)-limonene, and styrene. The structure of 2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and found to be isotypical with the molybdenum analogue.
