- Hydrothermal synthesis of chiral inorganic-organic CoII complex: Structural, thermal and catalytic evaluation
-
By heating the cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2·6H2O) with the R form of the organic amine α-methylbenzylamine (C8H11N) under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions, we have successfully generated the corresponding non-centrosymmetric homochiral hybrid tris (α-methylbenzylammonium tetrachloridocobaltate chloride [R-(C8H12N)3][CoCl4]Cl abbreviated R(MBA)Co. We present the growth conditions together with a characterization of the single crystals by means of X-ray single-crystal diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared, TG/TDA thermal decomposition and catalytic properties. This inorganic–organic hybrid compound crystallizes in the chiral space group P21 and exhibits a supramolecular-layered organization wherein a double layer of (R)-methylbenzylammonium cations and the uncoordinated chloride anions are sandwiched between anionic layers, formed by isolated tetrachloridocobaltate tetrahedra. The crystal packing is governed by a three-dimensional network of N/C–H?Cl hydrogen bonds between the inorganic and organic moieties and C–H···π interactions between the aromatic rings of the organic moieties themselves. Thermal analysis discloses a phase transition at the temperature 130 °C. The Co complex was also employed as suitable catalyst activating the acetal formation reaction of aldehydes using MeOH as solvent and as the unique source of acetalization.

- Ru(II)-functionalized SBA-15 as highly chemoselective, acid free and sustainable heterogeneous catalyst for acetalization of aldehydes and ketones
-
Combining electron deficient Ru(II) coordination sites with organofunctionalized SBA-15, (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15, result in a mild, neutral, water scavenger free and chemo-selective acetalization catalyst for cyclic/acyclic acetals. Vacant coordination sites of ruthenium in (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 activates protecting groups as well as reactants simultaneously and restricts the reverse acetalization reaction. Synthesized (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 catalyst has been thoroughly characterized and act as competitive catalyst compared to conventional acid catalysts. (L)Ru(II)@SBA-15 performs high catalytic activity as well as selectivity within 20 min with high TOF. The catalyst can be recycled and reaction parameters are optimized.

- Synthesis, structural determination and catalytic study of a new 2-D chloro-substituted zinc phosphate, (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))]2
-
A novel chloro-substituted zinc-phosphate, (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))], has been synthesized by a slow evaporation method in the presence of 1,3-cyclohexanebis- (methylamine), which acts as a template. The structure consists of vertex linked ZnO3Cl and PO3(OH) tetrahedral, assembled into corrugated porous layers [ZnCl(PO3(OH))2]∞ with (4.82) topology. The optical properties were also investigated using Diffuse Reflecting Spectroscopy (DRS), showing that the title compound has semiconducting properties. In addition, the catalytic activity of (C8N2H20)[ZnCl(PO3(OH))]2 has been tested in the acetalisation reaction of aldehydes. The title compound displayed a high catalytic activity with practically total conversion in many examples using MeOD as solvent and as the sole source of acetalisation. More importantly, the reaction crudes are very clean and only the preferred products are found in the NMR spectra.

- Crystallisation, thermal analysis and acetal protection activity of new layered Zn(II) hybrid polymorphs
-
Two new polymorphic mononuclear complexes, with analogous structural formula (C6H9N2)2[Zn(H2O)6](SO4)2·2H2O, of zinc(ii) templated by 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium ligand have been discovered. These polymorphic hybrid crystals, which differ only in terms of their crystal structures, were prepared in one-step synthesis under ambient conditions and investigated for their thermal and catalytic properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the obtained materials revealed that polymorphs 1 and 2 crystallise in the triclinic system, space group P1. In an effort to further explore the form diversity of these compounds, the structural arrangements and intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen-bonding and π?π interactions are discussed from which supramolecular assembly was formed. Meanwhile, these new polymorphic forms can be described as the stacking of 3D layers where the interlayer distances are 13.23 and 12.59 ? for 1 and 2, respectively. The thermal behaviour of the precursors checked by TG-DTA analysis for both zinc sulfate polymorphs and variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD) show successive intermediate crystalline anhydrous phases upon dehydration in 1. The catalytic activity of both polymorphic structures has been tested in the acetalisation reaction of aldehydes as a benchmark process. Interestingly, both complexes showed excellent activity with almost total conversion in many examples and using MeOH as solvent and as the unique source of acetalisation.

- MOF-808 as a recyclable catalyst for the photothermal acetalization of aromatic aldehydes
-
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show promise for catalysis applications due to their porosity, high internal surface area, and structural adaptability. Typical acetylation reactions of aldehydes require elevated temperatures and excess alcohol to drive the reactions to completion. In this current work, MOF-808 is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for acetylation of aldehydes in methanol using a mild photothermal process. Optimized conditions gave 72% yield of 2-(dimethoxymethyl)naphthalene in the presence of 10 mol% MOF-808 at 45 °C using only a fluorescent lamp. MOF-808 can be recycled up to 5 times with no loss in catalytic activity. A proof-of-principle substrate scope demonstrates the potential utility for aromatic and aliphatic substrates.

- Modification of Au nanoparticles electronic state by MOFs defect engineering to realize highly active photocatalytic oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol with methanol
-
Defect modified UiO-66 supported Au nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol with methanol under mild conditions. The defects were generated by introducing HCl during the preparation procedure. The defects exposed the Lewis acid of coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, which is benefit for Au loading and changing Au nanoparticles (NPs) to a negative electron state. The negatively charged Au nanoparticle promoted the reaction by strong oxygen activation ability. The present study could help to unravel the synergistic effect of support and metal interaction and provides an efficient photocatalytic route for synthesis high-value esters in terms of sustainable chemistry.

- Ce(III)-Based frameworks: From 1d chain to 3d porous metal-organic framework
-
The reaction of pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (2,4-H2 pydc) with Ce(NO3)36H2O, by applying only minor changes to the reaction conditions, generated a series of new one-, two-, and three-dimensional (1D, 2D, and 3D) coordination polymers, namely, [Ce(pydc)(Hpydc)(H2O)4]n (1), [Ce(pydc)(Hpydc)(H2O)2]n (2), and {[Ce3(pydc)4(H2O)2NO3]4H2O}n (3). The ancillary ligand interaction as well as the reaction conditions determine the specific coordination modes for the Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands and, in turn, discriminate between 1D, 2D, and 3D frameworks. Characterization of the prepared materials was performed using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, CHN elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. Compound 1 consists of 1D chains, that compose of Ce3+ ions bridged by Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands, which further link via noncovalent interactions to form a 3D supramolecular architecture. Compound 2 assembles into 2D sheets with 1D channels. Similarly, via hydrogen-bonding interactions between two adjacent sheets, the 2D layers are further stacked into the final 3D supramolecular structure. Compound 3 is a 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), showing 1D helical channels. The progressive skeletal variation from the 1D chains (1) to 2D sheets (2) and 3D framework (3) is attributed to the flexibility of both the Ce(III) coordination sphere and coordination modes of the Hpydc- and pydc2- ligands under different reaction conditions. The three compounds illustrate how the tuning of the coordination geometry of Ce(III) translates into different dimensionality, which is readily influenced by reaction temperature and ancillary ligand presence. Moreover, the porosity of MOF 3 was confirmed by N2 and CO2 gas adsorption/desorption. Finally, the catalytic activity of MOF 3 was examined in acetalization reactions in a series of aromatic aldehydes with methanol.

The substrate binding capacity of 1 has been demonstrated by the formation of one mononuclear mixed-ligand dioxidomolybdenum complex [MoO2L1(Q)] {where Q = γ-picoline (1a)}. Molecular structure of all the complexes (1, 1a, 2, 3 and 4) is determined by X-ray crystallography, demonstrating the dibasic tridentate behavior of ligands. All the complexes show two irreversible reductive responses within the potential window -0.73 to -1.08 V, due to Mo VI/MoV and MoV/MoIV processes. Catalytic potential of these complexes was tested for the oxidation of benzoin using 30% aqueous H2O2 as an oxidant in methanol. At least four reaction products, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde-dimethylacetal, methyl benzoate and benzil were obtained with the 95-99% conversion under optimized reaction conditions. Oxidative bromination of salicylaldehyde, a functional mimic of haloperoxidases, in aqueous H2O2/KBr in the presence of HClO4 at room temperature has also been carried out successfully.

- Series of 2D heterometallic coordination polymers based on ruthenium(III) oxalate building units: Synthesis, structure, and catalytic and magnetic properties
-
A series of 2D ruthenium-based coordination polymers with hcb-hexagonal topology, {[K(18-crown-6)]3[MII3(H 2O)4{Ru(ox)3}3]}n (M II = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3), Cu (4), Zn (5)), has been synthesized through self-assembly reaction. All compounds are isostructural frameworks that crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The crystal packing consists of a 2D honeycomb-like anionic mixed-metal framework intercalated by [K(18-crown-6)]+ cationic template. Dehydration processes take place in the range 40-200 C exhibiting two phase transitions. However, the spontaneous rehydration occurs at room temperature. Both hydrated and dehydrated compounds were tested as Lewis acids heterogeneous catalysts in the acetalyzation of benzaldehyde achieving high yields with the possibility to be recovered and reused. All the investigated materials do not show any long-range magnetic ordering down to 2 K. However, the Fe-based compound 2 presents a magnetic irreversibility in the ZFC-FC magnetization data below 5 K, which suggest a spin-glass-like behavior, characterized also by short-range ferromagnetic correlations. The coercive field increases as the temperature is lowered below 5 K, reaching a value of 1 kOe at 2 K. Alternating current measurements obtained at different frequencies confirm the freezing process that shows weak frequency dependence, being characteristic of a system exhibiting competing magnetic interactions.

- Facile synthesis of Cu3(BTC)2/cellulose acetate mixed matrix membranes and their catalytic applications in continuous flow process
-
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated by a combination of Cu3(BTC)2 MOF and polymer cellulose acetate. The cellulose acetate in the MMMs served as the matrix and the Cu3(BTC)2 MOF as the filler. The as-synthesized MMMs were utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for aldehyde acetalization. The characterization techniques indicated that the Cu3(BTC)2 crystals were uniformly dispersed in the MMMs. The BET surface area of the Cu3(BTC)2-based MMM was measured to be 459 m2 g-1 at 60 wt% Cu3(BTC)2 loading. Furthermore, the MMMs served as an excellent catalyst under our continuous flow catalytic reaction conditions. The optimal catalytic result of benzaldehyde yield reached 94% with 60 wt% Cu3(BTC)2 loading of the MMMs at room temperature and the benzaldehyde diethyl acetal reached 0.59 mmol min-1 gCu-BTC-1.

- Batch versus Flow Acetalization of Benzaldehyde with HKUST-1: Diffusion Pathways and Performance Comparison
-
Understanding the poisoning and deactivation pathways of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an essential goal to boost their application as robust and efficient catalysts in chemical transformations relevant to industrial processes. Herein, the acetalization reaction of benzaldehyde with methanol was investigated by using [Cu3(BTC)2] (BTC=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) as a catalyst. The reaction was performed under batch and continuous flow conditions, and the conversion of benzaldehyde into 1,1-dimethoxytoluene proceeded efficiently in the presence of a modest amount of water. Nevertheless, a drastic reduction in the catalytic activity was observed after recycling the MOF for repetitive batch experiments and after prolonged continuous flow tests. Pore clogging of the MOF and partial crystal-structure modifications, gathered from XRD and pore analyses, suggested grinding the catalyst prior to application; the ground catalyst showed a considerable enhancement in catalytic performance.

- Influence of Terephthalic Acid Substituents on the Catalytic Activity of MIL-101(Cr) in Three Lewis Acid Catalyzed Reactions
-
Six isostructural MIL-101(Cr)-X (X: H, NO2, SO3H, Cl, CH3, and NH2) materials have been prepared directly by the reaction of CrIII salts and the corresponding terephthalic acid or by postsynthetic treatments of preformed MIL-101(Cr) following reported procedures. The materials were characterized by using XRD (crystallinity and coincident diffraction pattern), isothermal N2 adsorption (specific surface areas range from 2740 m2 g?1 for MIL-101(Cr)-H to 1250 m2 g?1 for MIL-101(Cr)-Cl), thermogravimetry (thermal stability up to 400 °C), and IR spectroscopy (detection of the corresponding substituents), and the results were all in agreement with the reported data for these materials. The MIL-101(Cr) materials were tested as heterogeneous catalysts for epoxide ring opening by methanol, benzaldehyde acetalization by methanol, and Prins coupling, observing a clear influence of the substituent that in general follows a linear relationship with the Hammett σmeta constant of the substituent: the catalytic activity increases as the electron-withdrawing ability of the substituents increases. An up to three orders of magnitude enhancement in the presence of the NO2 substituent was found for some of these reactions. The present study illustrates the versatility that metal–organic frameworks offer as heterogeneous catalysts that allow the design of actives sites with adequate properties tuned for each reaction.

- In Situ Generation of Organic Peroxide to Create a Nanotubular Uranyl Peroxide Phosphate
-
Current synthetic pathways for uranyl peroxide materials introduce high initial concentrations of aqueous H2O2 that decline over time. Alternatively, in situ generation of organic peroxide would maintain constant concentrations of peroxide over prolonged periods of time and open new pathways to novel uranyl peroxide compounds. Herein, we demonstrate this concept through the synthesis of a nanotube-like uranyl peroxide phosphate (NUPP), Na12[(UO2)(μ-O2)(HPO4)]6(H2O)40, making use of the inhibited autoxidation of benzaldehyde in benzyl alcohol solutions in the presence of phosphonate ligands. The unique feature of NUPP is the bent dihedral angle U-(μ-O2)-U (123.9°±0.4° to 124.6°±0.5°), which allows hexameric uranyl peroxide macrocycles to adopt the nanotubular topology and prevents the formation of nanocapsules. Raman spectroscopy of the solution phase confirms our mechanistic understanding of the reaction pathway and confirms that consistent levels of peroxide are generated in situ over an extended period of time.

- Hierarchical porous organic polymer as an efficient metal-free catalyst for acetalization of carbonyl compounds with alcohols
-
An efficient melamine-porous organic polymer (M-POP) as N-functionalized organic polymer catalyst was synthesized with melamine and terephthalaldehyde by a facile microwave-assisted method. The synthesized M-POP exhibited a high specific surface area with hierarchical pore structure of both mesoporosity and microporosity. The rich N-moieties namely, C[dbnd]N and N–H from the melamine precursor were found to show hydrogen-bonding ability with various organic molecules such as carbonyl compounds. This was illustrated in the acetalization of aldehydes and ketones with methanol or ethylene glycol under mild conditions as a metal-free H-bonding catalyst with high product selectivity. The superior catalytic performance of M-POP was attributed to the availability of a large number of H-bonding sites both as H-donor and H-acceptor between the reactants and the catalyst.

- Efficient acetalization of benzaldehydes using UiO-66 and UiO-67: Substrates accessibility or Lewis acidity of zirconium
-
Porous metal-organic frameworks of Zr6O4(OH)4 clusters connected by organic linkers of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (UiO-66) and biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (UiO-67) were prepared using a solvothermal method and used as efficient catalysts for acetalization of benzaldehydes with alcohols. UiO-66 showed better catalytic activity than UiO-67, (i.e. 91% vs 86%) when the catalyst was employed in the benzaldehyde acetalization in methanol for an hour at r.t. (28 °C). UiO-66 was further explored as the catalyst to observe effects of catalyst concentrations, alcohols, bulkier benzaldehydes, and recyclability. The performance of other catalysts, including the MOF precursor, was also examined to compare the activity and to explain the importance of a MOF structure. Relative Lewis acidity of Zr in UiO-66 and UiO-67 was achieved by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis using DFT/B3LYP method. It was found that accessibility of substrates to internal active sites might play a dominant role than the Lewis acidity of Zr-MOFs.

A novel, mesoporous composite of Mo doped TiO2/reduced graphene oxide is synthesized to be used as a highly efficient heterogeneous acid catalyst. The composite has a high surface area (263 m2 g-1) and a monomodal pore size distribution with an average pore diameter of 3.4 nm. A comprehensive characterization of the synthesized material was done using PXRD, Raman, BET, SEM, EDX, TEM, TGA, and XPS. The composite exhibited excellent catalytic activity (1.6 h-1 TOF, >99% GC yield, and >99% selectivity) towards acetalization of cyclohexanone at room tempertaure within 30 minutes. The catalyst was reusable up to 4 reaction cycles without any significant loss in the activity and the acidic site calculations showed that the reaction is mostly driven by the weak acidic sites on the composite.

- Effects of linker substitution on catalytic properties of porous zirconium terephthalate UiO-66 in acetalization of benzaldehyde with methanol
-
A family of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), based on the UiO-66 structure, were synthesized from the two linker ligands containing electron-donating NH2-groups (2-amino-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2N-H2BDC)) and electron-withdrawing NO 2-groups (2-nitro-benzenedicarboxylic acid (O2N-H 2BDC)). The catalytic performance of these materials was investigated with a combination of physicochemical and catalytic approaches in acetalization of benzaldehyde with methanol. The investigation of basicity and Lewis acidity was done by IR spectroscopy using CDCl3 and 5-nonanone as probe molecules, respectively. The combination of physicochemical and catalytic investigations demonstrates that acid-base and catalytic properties of these materials depend on amount and type of functional groups presented in the linker units. Insertion of electron-donating NH2-groups into linker ligand leads to increase in the strength of basic sites in contrast to electron-withdrawing NO2-groups. The strength of Lewis acid sites decreases in order of UiO-66-NO2 > UiO-66 > UiO-66-NH 2, that leads to the decrease in their catalytic activity in acetalization of benzaldehyde with methanol in the same order.

- Robust Multifunctional Yttrium-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks with Breathing Effect
-
Phosphonate- and yttrium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), formulated as [Y(H5btp)]·5.5H2O (1), [Y(H5btp)]·2.5H2O (2), (H3O)[Y2(H5btp)(H4btp)]·H2O (3), and [Y(H5btp)]·H2O·0.5(MeOH) (4), were prepared using a “green” microwave-assisted synthesis methodology which promoted the self-assembly of the tetraphosphonic organic linker [1,1′-biphenyl]-3,3′,5,5′-tetrayltetrakis(phosphonic acid) (H8btp) with Y3+ cations. This new family of functional materials, isolated in bulk quantities, exhibits a remarkable breathing effect. Structural flexibility was thoroughly studied by means of X-ray crystallography, thermogravimetry, variable-temperature X-ray diffraction, and dehydration and rehydration processes, ultimately evidencing a remarkable reversible single-crystal to single-crystal (SC-SC) transformation solely through the loss and gain of crystallization solvent molecules. Topologically, frameworks remained unaltered throughout this interconversion mechanism, with all compounds being binodal 6,6-connected network with a Scha?fli symbol of {413.62}{48.66.8}. Results show that this is one of the most stable and thermally robust families of tetraphosphonate-based MOFs synthesized reported to date. Porous materials 2 and 3 were further studied to ascertain their performance as heterogeneous catalysts and proton conductors, respectively, with outstanding results being registered for both materials. Compound 2 showed a 94% conversion of benzaldehyde into (dimethoxymethyl)benzene after just 1 h of reaction, among the best results registered to date for MOF materials. On the other hand, the protonic conductivity of compound 3 at 98% of relative humidity (2.58 × 10-2 S cm-1) was among the highest registered among MOFs, with the great advantage of the material to be prepared using a simpler and sustainable synthesis methodology, as well as exhibiting a good stability at ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) over time when compared to others.

Upon treatment with [VO(acac)2] in DMF, the polystyrene-bound ligand (abbreviated as PS-Hsal-his, II) gave the stable polystyrene-bound oxidovanadium(iv) complex PS-[VIVO(sal-his)(acac)] 1, which upon oxidation yielded the dioxidovanadium(v) PS-[VVO 2(sal-his)] 2 complex. The corresponding non polymer-bound complexes [VIVO(sal-his)(acac)] 3 and [VVO2(sal-his)] 4 have also been obtained. These complexes have been characterised by IR, electronic, 51V NMR and EPR spectral studies, and thermal as well as scanning electron micrograph studies. Complexes 1 and 2 have been used as a catalyst for the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide, diphenyl sulfide and benzoin with 30% H2O2 as oxidant. Under the optimised reaction conditions, a maximum of 93.8% conversion of methyl phenyl sulfide with 63.7% selectivity towards methyl phenyl sulfoxide and 36.3% towards methyl phenyl sulfone has been achieved in 2 h with 2. Under similar conditions, diphenyl sulfide gave 83.4% conversion where selectivity of reaction products varied in the order: diphenyl sulfoxide (71.8%) > diphenyl sulfone (28.2%). A maximum of 91.2% conversion of benzoin has been achieved within 6 h, and the selectivities of reaction products are: methylbenzoate (37.0%) > benzil (30.5%) > benzaldehyde-dimethylacetal (22.5%) > benzoic acid (8.1%). The PS-bound complex, 1 exhibits very comparable catalytic potential. These polymer-anchored heterogeneous catalysts do not leach during catalytic action, are recyclable and show higher catalytic activity and turnover frequency than the corresponding non polymer-bound complexes. EPR and 51V NMR spectroscopy was used to characterise methanolic solutions of 3 and 4 and to identify species formed upon addition of H2O2 and/or acid and/or methyl phenyl sulfide.

- Conjugation chemistry through acetals toward a dextran-based delivery system for controlled release of siRNA
-
New conjugation chemistry for polysaccharides, exemplified by dextran, was developed to enable the attachment of therapeutic or other functional moieties to the polysaccharide through cleavable acetal linkages. The acid-lability of the acetal groups allows the release of therapeutics under acidic conditions, such as that of the endocytic compartments of cells, regenerating the original free polysaccharide in the end. The physical and chemical behavior of these acetal groups can be adjusted by modifying their stereoelectronic and steric properties, thereby providing materials with tunable degradation and release rates. We have applied this conjugation chemistry in the development of water-soluble siRNA carriers, namely acetal-linked amino-dextrans, with various amine structures attached through either slow- or fast-degrading acetal linker. The carriers with the best combination of amine moieties and structural composition of acetals showed high in vitro transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity in the delivery of siRNA.

- Woody species: A new bio-based material for dual Ca/Mg catalysis with remarkable Lewis acidity properties
-
Advances in green catalysis have promoted the development of ecocatalysis encountered in most of the main transformations of organic chemistry. Taking advantage of the remarkable capacity of certain plants to hyperaccumulate transition metals into shoots or roots, we have addressed the direct use of metals derived from contaminated plant wastes as supported Lewis acid catalysts, coupling agents, oxidative and reducing catalysts in green chemistry. This approach constituted the first example of chemical catalyst based on phytotechnologies. Herein, we show that the concept can be extended to common and abundant plant species that are surprisingly appropriated for chemical catalysis. We present that willow, birch, plane and linden trees can be used to produce bio-based and original Lewis acid catalysts. The catalytic potential of these species will be illustrated through two representative transformations, acetalisation and oxidative esterification. Thanks to their original polymetallic composition, ecocatalysts provided better results compared to classical metal chlorides such as MgCl2, CaCl2 or ZnCl2. This illustrates the interest of the ecocatalysis and is incorporated within the green and sustainable chemistry concept.

-
Nanoporous aluminosilicate materials efficiently catalyze Friedel-Crafts reactions of indoles to produce bisindolylalkane products. These reactions proceed rapidly and in high yields when acetals are used in place of the more commonly used carbonyl reagents. It is possible to capitalise on the large difference in the rates of reaction observed with aldehydes and acetals to develop a tandem acetalization-Friedel-Crafts protocol in which the acetal is generated in situ and undergoes subsequent reaction.

- Metal nitrate-catalyzed one-pot oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide in alcoholic solutions at room temperature
-
The activity of metal nitrate catalysts was investigated in the oxidative esterification reactions of benzaldehyde with hydrogen peroxide. Several types of metal nitrates (alkaline, alkaline earth, and transition metals) were evaluated as catalysts. Among the assessed salts, Fe(NO3)3 was the most efficient catalyst toward the formation of the target product (i.e., benzoic alkyl ester). In methyl alcohol, benzaldehyde was selectively oxidized to benzoic acid and then esterified to methyl benzoate. The efficiency of the catalyst was correlated with its higher Lewis acidity character, which was established through the pH measurements of methanolic solutions of the soluble metal nitrate salts. The influence of main variables of the reaction, such as catalyst load, temperature, and reactant stoichiometry, was investigated. The size of the carbon chain and steric hindrance played an essential role in the reaction selectivity. While methyl and ethyl alcohols selectively provided ester as the main product (ca. 70-75%) and acetal as the subproduct, the other alcohols gave ester, hemiacetal, and benzoic acid, which was formed in the least amount. The use of an inexpensive catalyst, a green oxidant, mild conditions, and short reaction times were the positive aspects of this one-pot process. The high TON (ca. 900) is evidence of the high catalytic activity of Fe(NO3)3. It is noteworthy that this methodology does not rely upon ligands and other additives.

- A novel selective oxidative cleavage of C–C bond mediated by black nickel oxide in the presence of molecular oxygen

A selective aerobic oxidative cleavage of C–C bond is developed with black nickel oxide (NiOx) as the catalyst. For the oxidation of 1-phenyl-1, 2-ethanediol, a 97.5% conversion in 96.7% selectivity of benzaldehyde is obtained under 0.3 MPa of O2 at 140 °C for 3 h. The relationship between the catalytic performance of NiOx and structure is discussed. It is concluded that the existence of Ni3+ should be crucial to the activity of catalyst. Moreover, the recycling experiments showed that the catalyst can retain a high activity even after being reused for five times.

- One-pot synthesis of benzaldehyde derivatives in PdCl2-catalyzed reactions with H2O2 in alcoholic solutions
-
Abstract: The activity of the palladium salt catalysts was investigated on the benzaldehyde reactions with H2O2. The PdCl2 salt was the most efficient catalyst for the formation of the goal products. In CH3OH, benzaldehyde was selectively oxidized to benzoic acid and posteriorly esterified to methyl benzoate. In this process, the reaction of the PdCl2 catalyst with aqueous H2O2 provided H+ ions, which also promoted the esterification and acetalization reactions. The oxidant load played a key role in the selectivity controlling; while a large excess (9:1) gave benzoic acid (90%), with a lower ratio (3:1), acid and ester were formed with selectivity of 58 and 35%, respectively. With H2O2 at an equimolar ratio, the Pd(0) reduced the benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol (30%). In absence of the oxidant, PdCl2 (2.5?mol %) condensated benzaldehyde and alcohol to acetal (90%). Therefore, PdCl2 directly catalyzed the oxidation and reduction reactions, and participated in acid-catalyzed reactions (i.e., condensation and esterification), generating H+ ions, demonstrating to be a highly versatile catalyst. An adequate adjusting of reaction conditions allowed to control the reaction selectivity toward the desired products (i.e., benzoic acid or ester benzyl, acetal, or benzyl alcohol).

- Thiol-initiated photocatalytic oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins and its extension to direct production of acetals from olefins
-
The oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones is an important reaction in organic syntheses. In this manuscript, a mild and operationally simple protocol for the aerobic oxidation of olefins to produce carbonyl compounds was realized over ZnIn2S4under visible light, using air as the oxidant and a thiol as the initiator. It was proposed that the photogenerated holes over ZnIn2S4attack the thiol to produce thiyl radicals, which initiate the oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones. By further coupling with the condensation between the as-obtained aldehydes/ketones and alcohols, this strategy can also be applied to the production of different acetals directly from the olefins. This study demonstrates a new pathway to realize the oxidative cleavage of olefins to produce aldehydes/ketones, and also provides a new protocol for the production of acetals directly from the olefins.

The benzaldehyde acetalization reaction catalyzed by UiO-66, and its fluorinated analog UiO-66F, was carried out in a batch-type reactor at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the full kinetic study was performed using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal models. It was established that the Eley-Rideal model is the one that best fits the experimental data. The catalytic results indicated that both MOFs enable carrying out the acetalization reaction. However, UiO-66F has the highest activity, which could be attributed to its high acidity. Both structures were characterized by N2physisorption, thermogravimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, potentiometric titrations, and infrared spectroscopy. The highest acidity displayed by UiO-66F was explained by DFT studies and experimental studies.

A novel family of lamellar MOF-type materials, which contain Br?nsted acid sites together with redox active centers, based on assembled 1D organic-inorganic nanoribbons were obtained through direct solvothermal synthesis routes, using specific monotopic benzylcarboxylate spacers with thiol substituents in thepara-position like structural modulator compounds and effective post-synthesis oxidized treatments to generate accessible sulfonic groups. Low-dimensional aluminum metal-organic materials, containing free sulfonic pendant groups (Al-ITQ-SO3H), were successfully tested in several acid reactions, such as acetalization, esterification and ring opening of epoxides with a significant impact on fine chemistry processes. The direct introduction of stabilized Pd nanoparticles, cohabitating with pendant sulfonic groups, allowed the preparation of active bi-functional MOF-type hybrid materials (Al-ITQ-SO3H/Pd) capable of carrying out one-pot two-step oxidation-acetalization reactions, exhibiting high yield and high activity during consecutive catalytic cycles.

Alcohol-oxidation, Knoevenagel-condensation, click, acetal, and Baylis-Hillman reactions are achievable through simple exchange of a single catalytic spacer, while sequential or stepwise reactions are designable via selective combination of two catalytic spacers with different functionalities, thus making proto-LIFM-28 a multivariate MOF for multiuse and economic catalysis.

A novel Br?nsted and Lewis acid ionic liquid (IL) chlorinated butyrolactam chlorozincinate (CPCl-ZnCl2) was synthesized by a hydrothermal process and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The Fe-SBA-15 mesoporous materials with different Si/Fe mole ratios were prepared by direct synthesis method. The supported ionic liquid (IL/Fe-SBA-15) with various IL contents were prepared by a wet impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and N2 physical adsorption. The acidity was measured by FT-IR spectroscopy using pyridine as probes. The catalytic property was tested in acetalization of cyclohexanone with ethylene glycol. The results demonstrated that the IL/Fe-SBA-15 catalysts were of higher catalytic activity compared to Fe-SBA-15. Under optimal conditions, the acetalization could reach to 92.6% cyclohexanone conversion with 99.3% acetal selectivity. After 5 cycles, the cyclohexanone conversion decreased slightly. Also, the catalyst showed good catalytic property in the other acetalization of cyclohexanone and benzyl alcohol.

-
Au/CeO2 was demonstrated to be a high efficiency catalyst for the conversion of 2-phenoxyacetophenol (PP-ol) employing O2 as an oxidant and methyl alcohol as the solvent without using an erosive strong base or acid. Mechanistic investigations, including emission quenching experiments, electron spin-resonance (ESR) and intermediate verification experiments, were carried out. The results verified that the superoxide anion activated by Au/CeO2 from molecular oxygen plays a vital role in the oxidation of lignin model compounds, and the cleavage of both the β-O-4 and Cα-Cβ linkages was involved. Au/CeO2 also performed well in the oxidative conversion of organosolv lignin under mild conditions (453 K), producing vanillin (10.5 wt%), methyl vanillate (6.8 wt%), methylene syringate (3.4 wt%) and a ring-opened product. Based on the detailed characterization data and mechanistic results, Au/CeO2 was confirmed to be a promising catalytic system.

- On/Off O2 Switchable Photocatalytic Oxidative and Protodecarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids
-
Photoredox catalysis in recent years has manifested a powerful branch of science in organic synthesis. Although merging photoredox and metal catalysts has been a widely used method, switchable heterogeneous photoredox catalysis has rarely been considered. Herein, we open a new window to use a switchable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst which could be turned on/off by changing a simple stimulus (O2) for two opponent reactions, namely, oxidative and protodecarboxylation. Using this strategy, we demonstrate that Au@ZnO core-shell nanoparticles could be used as a switchable photocatalyst which has good catalytic activity to absorb visible light due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of gold, can decarboxylate a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids, have multiple reusability, and are a reasonable candidate for synthesizing both aldehydes/ketones and alkane/arenes in a large-scale set up. Some biologically active molecules are also shown via examples of the direct oxidative and protodecarboxylation which widely provided pharmaceutical agents.

- Cobalt Nanoparticles Embedded in N-Doped Porous Carbon Derived from Bimetallic Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for One-Pot Selective Oxidative Depolymerization of Lignin
-
Cobalt nanoparticles embedded in N-doped porous carbon (Co@CN) were prepared by the pyrolysis of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (BMZIFs) based on ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. The catalyst shows excellent catalytic efficiency in one-pot selective oxidative cleavage of different linkages like β-O-4, a-O-4 and β-1 in organosolv lignin and lignin model compounds in the presence of oxygen (ambient pressure) under mild conditions (383 K). Compared with traditional supported catalyst, the catalyst gives a highly hollow structure, which favored the adsorption of substrates and oxygen. The uniform cobalt nanoparticles surrounded by N-doped graphitic structures and the strong electron transfer from graphitic nitrogen to Co NPs make it hard to be oxidized prior to use and higher catalytic reactivity. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily recovered by magnetic force after the reaction, and reused after reduction for five times without an obvious change in yields.

- Remote ‘Imidazole’ Based Ruthenium(II) p-Cymene Precatalyst for Selective Oxidative Cleavage of C?C Multiple Bonds
-
The dual role of remote ‘imidazole’ attached with the precatalyst [(p-cymene)RuII(L)Y]+ (L=2-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline, Y=chloride/solvent) was explored for the selective oxidative cleavage of C?C multiple bonds to acetals/aldehydes. The presence of ‘imidazole’ in the precatalysts was found to be useful for the activation of oxidant and release of p-cymene from the precatalysts, which in turn was not effective without the ‘imidazole’ moiety. The mechanistic aspects of the precatalyst were evaluated from spectroscopic, kinetic, and few other controlled experiments. The loss of p-cymene is the key step for the reaction and found to be faster in solvated precatalyst, [(p-cymene)RuII(L)(MeOH)]++ and thus showed 3–4-fold more effective as compared to [(p-cymene)RuII(L)Cl]+.

- Formation of Acetals and Ketals from Carbonyl Compounds: A New and Highly Efficient Method Inspired by Cationic Palladium
-
The development of a new, highly efficient, and simple method for masking carbonyl groups as acetals and ketals is described. This methodology relies on the nature of the palladium catalyst to direct the acetalization/ketalization reaction. This new protocol is mild and proceed with a very low catalyst loading at ambient temperatures. The method has been extended to a wide variety of different carbonyl compounds with various steric encumbrances to form the corresponding acetals and ketals in excellent yields.

- Unique chemoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction of silyl enol diazoacetate with aldehydes and acetals catalyzed by MgI2 etherate
-
Functionalized diazo acetoacetates are prepared by an efficient Mukaiyama aldol reaction between 3-TBSO-2-diazo-3-butenoate with aldehydes and acetals under mild reaction conditions. A variety of substituted aldehydes and the corresponding acetals are both accessible in good to excellent yields through this methodology. MgI2 etherate (MgI2·(OEt2)n) is the preferred catalyst and, the addition proceeds without decomposition of the diazo moiety. In addition, this MgI2·(OEt2)n-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction shows unique chemoselectivity towards aldehydes and acetals.

- House bulb light-induced photochemical acetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by Eosin Y
-
We have systematically studied the reactions of acetalization and found that high reaction efficiency can be achieved using cheap and readily available organic Eosin Y as catalyst. The reaction proceeds smoothly under house bulbs and shows excellent functional group tolerance. The substrates of the reaction system are compatible with aromatic aldehydes, aliphatic aldehydes, aromatic ketones, and cyclic ketones with high yields.

- Utilization of hexabromoacetone for protection of alcohols and aldehydes and deprotection of acetals, ketals, and oximes under UV irradiation
-
Hexabromoacetone (HBA) was efficiently used for the protection of alcohols and aldehydes and deprotection of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal, solketal, and other acetals and ketals. In only 10?min, the protection of glycerol yielded 90% of solketal and protection of benzaldehyde gave 95% of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal. The deprotection of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal under UV irradiation gave over 90% yield of benzaldehyde within 15?s using only 2.5?mol% of HBA. HBA was also successfully used for deoximation. Solvent was found to play an important role in the efficiency of HBA for these reactions.

- A Linear Trinuclear Oxidodiperoxido-molybdenum(VI) Complex with Single Triazole Bridges: Catalytic Activity in Epoxidation, Alcoholysis, and Acetalization Reactions
-
The complex (Htrz)2[Mo3O6(O2)4(trz)2]?H2O (1), isolated from the reaction of MoO3 with H2O2 in the presence of 1,2,4-triazole (trz), displays singular structural features such as double bridges comprising one oxido and one triazole ligand, and peripheral oxidodiperoxido-molybdenum(VI) units. A comparative study was performed regarding the catalytic activity and stability of complex 1 and the hybrid material [MoO3(trz)0.5] (2) for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene (Cy8), the alcoholysis of epoxides, and the acetalization of benzaldehyde (PhCHO). Methanol or ethanol were used as solvents and reagents for the latter two reactions. For the substrates Cy8, styrene oxide, and PhCHO, the corresponding epoxide, β-alkoxy alcohol, and dialkyl acetal were obtained with 100 % selectivity at very high conversions. In general, 1 performed better than 2 for the different catalytic reactions. Under certain oxidant/co-solvent conditions used for Cy8 epoxidation, 1 was converted to 2 during the reaction.

- Highly efficient nitrobenzene and alkyl/aryl azide reduction in stainless steel jars without catalyst addition
-
The mechanochemical and selective reduction of aryl nitro and aryl/alkyl azide derivatives, with either formate salts or hydrazine, to the corresponding, synthetically useful amines occurs in excellent yields in a planetary ball mill without the addition of a catalyst. This newly developed and solvent-free protocol is efficient, fast and does not require the addition of a metal hydrogenation catalyst as the stainless steel jar itself fulfils that role. The method has been applied to a broad range of compounds and excellent yields have been obtained. The formylation of alkyl amines has been successfully performed, by means of mechanochemical activation, in the presence of ammonium formate alone.

- Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes bearing sterically constrained aroylazine ligands: Synthesis, structural investigation and catalytic evaluation
-
Seven new dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2L1(X)].X (1) and [MoO2L2–7(X)] (2–7) [Where X = EtOH in case of 1 and 5 and X = DMSO in case of 2–4 and 6, 7] of aroylazines containing a bulky 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic substituent, were isolated and structurally characterized. The aroylazine ligands H2L1–7 were derived from the condensation of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid hydrazide with several substituted aromatic aldehydes/ketones. All the synthesized ligands and metal complexes were successfully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis and NMR spectroscopy. X-ray structures of 1–6 revealed that the ligands coordinate to the metal center as a dibasic tridentate ligand. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes shows two irreversible reductive responses within the potential window ?0.50 to ?1.36 V, due to MoVI/MoV and MoV/MoIV processes. The synthesized complexes 1–7 were used as catalysts for the oxidation of benzoin, and for the oxidative bromination of salicylaldehyde, as a functional mimic of haloperoxidase. It was found that the percentage of conversion increased significantly in the presence of catalysts 1–7 which contained bulky substituents, and showed high percentage of conversion (>90%) with high turnover frequency (>1100 h?1) than previously reported catalysts. Benzil, benzoic acid and benzaldehyde-dimethylacetal were formed selectively for the oxidation of benzoin. Formation of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehyde took place during the oxidative bromination of salicylaldehyde in presence of H2O2 as an oxidant and therefore 1–7 act as functional models of vanadium dependent haloperoxidases.

- Access to Wieland-Miescher Diketone-Derived Building Blocks by Stereoselective Construction of the C-9 Quaternary Carbon Center Using the Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction
-
The Mukaiyama aldol reaction has been used to efficiently install a lateral chain at the C-9 position of the Wieland-Miescher ketone derivative 3 within two steps, representing a shortcut compared to that of the classical sequences. The treatment of the silylated enol ether 8 with a wide range of acetals in the presence of tin tetrachloride led to a the diastereoselective construction of the C-9 quaternary center of 33 new building blocks derived from the Wieland-Miescher ketone derivative 3.

- Silver-Catalyzed Olefination of Acetals and Ketals with Diazoesters to β-Alkoxyacrylates
-
The first silver-catalyzed reaction of acetals or ketals with diazoesters leading to trisubstituted or tetrasubstituted β-alkoxyacrylates is now reported. A broad range of acetals and ketals bearing different substituents is compatible with this protocol and thus provides an attractive approach for the synthesis of complex β-alkoxyacrylates. The power of this method was further demonstrated by the successful synthesis of picoxystrobin, which is one of the most popular agricultural fungicides commercialized by Dupont.

- Synthesis of unnatural α-amino esters using ethyl nitroacetate and condensation or cycloaddition reactions
-
We report here on the use of ethyl nitroacetate as a glycine template to produce α-amino esters. This started with a study of its condensation with various arylacetals to give ethyl 3-aryl-2-nitroacrylates followed by a reduction (NaBH4 and then zinc/HCl) into α-amino esters. The scope of this method was explored as well as an alternative with arylacylals instead. We also focused on various [2 + 3] cycloadditions, one leading to a spiroacetal, which led to the undesired ethyl 5-(benzamidomethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylate. The addition of ethyl nitroacetate on a 5-methylene-4,5-dihydrooxazole using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate was also explored and the synthesis of other oxazole-bearing α-amino esters was achieved using gold(I) chemistry.

- Preparation of acetals from aldehydes and alcohols under basic conditions
-
A new, simple protocol for the synthesis of acetals under basic conditions from non-enolizable aldehydes and alcohols has been reported. Such reactivity is facilitated by a sodium alkoxide along with a corresponding trifluoroacetate ester, utilizing formation of sodium trifluoroacetate as a driving force for acetal formation. The usefulness of this protocol is demonstrated by its orthogonality with various acid-sensitive protecting groups and by good compatibility with functional groups, delivering synthetically useful acetals complementarily to the synthesis under acidic conditions from aldehydes and alcohols.

- Phosphorylated Polyacrylonitrile Fibers as an Efficient and Greener Acetalization Catalyst
-
A novel solid acid catalyst (PANEAPF) is developed by immobilization of phosphoric acid on polyacrylonitrile fiber through covalent bonding. Various characterization techniques such as elemental analysis (EA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), etc. are utilized to confirm the successful grafting and the stability of the fiber catalysts during application. PANEAPF shows high catalytic activity in the acetalization of aldehydes owing to the high utilization efficiency of its functionalized acid sites. In addition, the strong polarity micro-environment in the surface layers of PANEAPF make it highly suitable for catalytic application in both water and alcohol. Furthermore, the fiber catalyst can be applied to the acetalization of aldehydes in a continuous-flow process at room temperature, and shows excellent reactivity and superior recyclability (over 20 times). The many advantages of PANEAPF such as simple preparation, convenient regulation of acid amount, high durability, and eco-friendly process make it very attractive for fixed-bed reactors in the chemical industry.

- A bifunctional cerium phosphate catalyst for chemoselective acetalization
-
Acid-base solid catalysts synthesized with structurally controlled uniform active sites can lead to unique catalysis. In this study, a CePO4 catalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal method and found to exhibit high catalytic performance for the chemoselective acetalization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with alcohols, in sharp contrast to other homogeneous and heterogeneous acid and/or base catalysts. In the presence of CePO4, various combinations of carbonyl compounds and alcohols are efficiently converted into the corresponding acetal derivatives in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies show that CePO4 most likely acts as a bifunctional catalyst through the interaction of uniform Lewis acid and weak base sites with 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and alcohol molecules, respectively, which results in high catalytic performance.

- Visible-light-induced acetalization of aldehydes with alcohols
-
In this work, we have achieved a simple and general method for acetalization of aldehydes by means of a photochemical reaction under low-energy visible light irradiation. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes have been protected under neutral conditions in good to excellent yields using a catalytic amount of Eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Our visible light mediated acetalization strategies are successful for more challenging acid-sensitive aldehydes and sterically hindered aldehydes. Notably, this protocol is chemoselective to aldehydes, while ketones remain intact.
