- Investigation of BiVO4 structure variations on the dichlorotoluene ammoxidation performance
-
In this study, BiVO4 synthesized by hydrothermal and calcination methods were explored as catalysts in the ammoxidation of dichlorotoluenes to shed light on the structure-reactivity correlations. The BiVO4 samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that the catalytic activity of BiVO4 greatly relied on the structure variations. The hydrothermal prepared BiVO4 exhibited better catalytic activities as a consequence of its greater structure deformation, with maximum yields of 73.1, 72.2, and 70.8% for 3,4-, 2,4- and 2,6- dichlorobenzonitrles, respectively.

- Hydrothermal Synthesis of Urchin-like W-V-O Nanostructures with Excellent Catalytic Performance
-
Urchinlike W-V-O microspheres have been successfully synthesized for the first time by a one-pot hydrothermal approach. The as-synthesized W-V-O material was characterized by several techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, EDS, BET, and Raman spectroscopy. The characterization results have revealed that the W-V-O microspheres consist of numerous one-dimensional nanobelts radially grown from the center. The typical nanobelts display rectangular cross sections with lengths of several micrometers, widths of about 50 nm, and thicknesses of approximately 10-20 nm. Vanadium oxides are dispersed highly either on the external surface or inside the channel surface of the hexagonal WO3 structure. In addition, the as-obtained urchin-like W-V-O material was explored as a catalyst for the ammoxidation of 2,4- and 2,6-dichlorotoluene to the corresponding nitriles. The catalytic results have indicated that the W-V-O nanostructures show excellent performance with yields of 2,4- and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile respectively reaching up to 77.3 and 75.1%, which are the highest among the previously reported catalysts with two components. The formation process of the urchinlike W-V-O microspheres was simply investigated.

- Hydrothermal synthesis of V-doped hexagonal WO3 microspheres comprising of nanoblocks for catalytic ammoxidation of dichlorotoluene
-
V-doped hexagonal WO3 microspheres comprising of nanoblocks were successfully prepared via a facile hydrothermal approach. Several techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, EDS, TPR, BET and Raman have been performed and the characterization results reveal that V replaced W atoms into the hexagonal lattice-structure. The microspheres possess diameter of about 4.4 μm and the nanoblocks have thicknesses of 40–100 nm and widths of about 150 nm. In addition, the catalytic performance of the obtained V-doped WO3 nanomaterial was investigated in the ammoxidation of dichlorotoluene. The catalytic results indicate that the as-prepared nanostructures show significantly improved selective performance with the selectivities of 3,4-DCBN and 2,6-DCBN reaching up to 89.8% and 86.2%, respectively.

- Effect of nitrogen-containing compounds on polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin/dibenzofuran formation through de novo synthesis
-
An experimental study was conducted to clarify the suppression effect of nitrogen-containing compounds, that is, ammonia and urea, on the formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) through the de novo synthesis reaction. In the experiment, graphite and copper chloride contained in a mixture were used as sources of carbon and chlorine, respectively. The granulated sample mixture was charged as a packed-bed in the glass tube and heated at 300 °C in the flow of Ar-O 2 gas mixture. In some cases, urea was added as aqueous solution to the sample, while ammonia was added to the gas flowed through the sample bed. The amount of PCDD/Fs formed decreases significantly by the addition of both ammonia and urea. Particularly, the addition of urea reduces the amount of PCDD/Fs discharged in the outlet gas by approximately 90%. The oxidation rate of carbon in the early stage of the experiment, that is, the heating period, is promoted by the addition of nitrogen-containing compounds. However, soon after the temperature reaches 300 °C, the formation rate becomes lower than that of the case without the addition of nitrogen-containing compounds. On the other hand, organic compounds containing amino (-NH2) or cyanide (-CN) groups and those containing nitrogen within the carbon ring frame were detected in the outlet gas in the case of urea addition. Typically observed aromatic compounds are chlorobenzonitriles, chlorobenzeneamines, and chloropyridines. This suggests a possibility that hydrogen and/or chlorine combined with PCDD/Fs are also substituted by such nitrogen-containing groups, and this decreases the formation rate of their frame of carbon rings. This phenomenon was also consistent with the fact that a significant reduction was observed in the amount of PCDD/Fs released to the outlet gas when urea was added.

A direct electroorganic sequence yielding nitriles from oximes in undivided cells is reported. Despite the fact that intermediate nitrile oxides might be formed, the method is viable to prepare benzonitriles without substituents ortho to the aldoxime moiety. This constant current method is easy to perform for a broad scope of substrates and employs common electrodes, such as graphite and lead.

- Ammoxidation of 2,6-dichloro toluene - From first trials to pilot plant studies
-
The scaling-up of the gas phase catalytic ammoxidation of 2,6-dichloro toluene (DCT) to 2,6-dichloro benzonitrile (DCBN) over a promoted vanadium phosphate (VPO) catalyst from first lab-scale experiments to pilot plant runs is reported. First experiments in a row of conversions of isomeric dichloro toluenes using simple, non-promoted VPO catalysts only show poor yield and selectivity. In particular, DCT ammoxidation is hindered due to bulky chlorine substituents probably preventing a sufficient interaction of the methyl group and lattice oxygen and/or N-containing surface species. Improved synthesis of VPO catalyst with the addition of promoters and γ-alumina or titania leads to significant increase in DCT conversion and DCBN yield. A Cr containing vanadyl pyrophosphate catalyst admixed with titania (anatase) showed conversion up to 97% with DCBN yields of ca. 80%. The same catalyst was also used for pilot plant runs, usually in the form of 5 mm × 3.5 mm shaped tablets that were prepared from a larger batch of solid synthesis. The scaling-up of the process using 100 ml of catalyst was investigated both by catalytic experiments and reactor simulations. The results showed that the temperature control will be crucial in scaling-up. Validation of simulation results with that of experimental results was also checked and a good agreement between measured and simulated results is observed.

- Highly Modular Flow Cell for Electroorganic Synthesis
-
A highly modular electrochemical flow cell and its application in electroorganic synthesis is reported. This innovative setup facilitates many aspects: an easy adjustment of electrode distance, quick exchange of electrode material, and the possibility to easily switch between a divided or undivided cell. However, the major benefit of the cell is the exact thermal positioning of the electrode material into a Teflon piece. Thereby, the application of expensive and nonmachinable electrode materials like boron-doped diamond or glassy carbon can easily be realized in flow cells. By this geometry, the maximum surface of such valuable electrode materials is exploited. The cell size can compete with classical preparative approaches in terms of performance and productivity. The optimization of reaction parameters and an easy up-scaling to larger flow cells is possible. By using this cell, the starting material can be saved in the development of the electroorganic transformations. To demonstrate the utility of this particular cell, two transformations of important building blocks for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry were established including an efficient and simple workup protocol.

- Visible-Light-Promoted Metal-Free Synthesis of (Hetero)Aromatic Nitriles from C(sp3)?H Bonds**
-
The metal-free activation of C(sp3)?H bonds to value-added products is of paramount importance in organic synthesis. We report the use of the commercially available organic dye 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP) for the conversion of methylarenes to the corresponding aryl nitriles via a photocatalytic process. Applying this methodology, a variety of cyanobenzenes have been synthesized in good to excellent yield under metal- and cyanide-free conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the method with over 50 examples including late-stage functionalization of drug molecules (celecoxib) and complex structures such as l-menthol, amino acids, and cholesterol derivatives. Furthermore, the presented synthetic protocol is applicable for gram-scale reactions. In addition to methylarenes, selected examples for the cyanation of aldehydes, alcohols and oximes are demonstrated as well. Detailed mechanistic investigations have been carried out using time-resolved luminescence quenching studies, control experiments, and NMR spectroscopy as well as kinetic studies, all supporting the proposed catalytic cycle.

- Synthesis of nanoparticle-built FeVO4 microspheres with improved low temperature catalytic activity in ammoxidation
-
FeVO4 microspheres were successfully fabricated by a hydrothermal approach. Characterization results revealed that the FeVO4 microspheres are composed of numerous nanoparticles. In the ammoxidation of 2,6-dichlorotoluene (DCT) to 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCBN) catalyzed by FeVO4 microspheres, the conversion of DCT reaches up to 87% at a much lower temperature of 320 °C in comparison to previously reported catalysts (380–420 °C). The reason for this is that irons greatly improve the electron transport, leading to well reduction redox properties of vanadium species which are important to enhance the initial activation efficiency of C-H bond in methyl group.

An efficient method for catalyzing the ammoxidation of aromatic alcohols to aromatic nitriles was developed, in which a new heterogeneous catalyst based on transition metal elements was employed, the new catalyst was named Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700 and then characterized by X-ray photo-electronic spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The reaction was carried out by two consecutive dehydrogenations under the catalysis of Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700, which catalytically oxidized the alcohol to the aldehyde, and then the aldehyde was subjected to ammoxidation to the nitrile. The catalyst system was suitable for a wide range of substrates and nitriles obtained in high yields, especially, the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol and 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol reached 100%.

- Stable and reusable nanoscale Fe2O3-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process for the selective synthesis of nitriles and primary amides
-
The sustainable introduction of nitrogen moieties in the form of nitrile or amide groups in functionalized molecules is of fundamental interest because nitrogen-containing motifs are found in a large number of life science molecules, natural products and materials. Hence, the synthesis and functionalization of nitriles and amides from easily available starting materials using cost-effective catalysts and green reagents is highly desired. In this regard, herein we report the nanoscale iron oxide-catalyzed environmentally benign synthesis of nitriles and primary amides from aldehydes and aqueous ammonia in the presence of 1 bar O2 or air. Under mild reaction conditions, this iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process proceeds to synthesise functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles. Additionally, applying this iron-based protocol, primary amides have also been prepared in a water medium.

The easily separable guanidinium chloride salts [(iPrHN)2C(NHR)]Cl (4a-m) were also formed in these reactions. The structures of 3a, 3d, and 3h were unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Complexes 3a-m proved to be active in the catalytic dehydration of aldoximes. The best results were obtained with [OsCl{κ2-(N,N′)-C(N-4-C6H4CF3)(NiPr)NHiPr}(η6-p-cymene)] (3d; 5 mol-%), which, in acetonitrile at 80C, was able to convert selectively a large variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldoximes into the corresponding nitriles in high yields and short reaction times. Novel osmium(II)-guanidinate complexes of general composition [OsCl{κ2-(N,N′)-C(NR)(NiPr)NHiPr}(η6-p-cymene)] (R = Ar) have been synthesized and successfully employed as catalysts for the selective conversion of aldoximes into nitriles.

-
The treatment of [PdCl2(COD)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with 1 and 2 equivalents of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde oxime in dichloromethane at room temperature led to the selective formation of [PdCl2{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CHNOH}] (1) and [Pd{κ2-(P,N)-2-Ph2PC6H4CHNOH}2][Cl]2 (2), respectively, which represent the first examples of Pd(II) complexes containing a phosphino-oxime ligand. These compounds, whose structures were fully confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods, were active in the catalytic rearrangement of aldoximes. In particular, using 5 mol% complex 1, a large variety of aldoximes could be cleanly converted into the corresponding primary amides at 100 °C, employing water as solvent and without the assistance of any cocatalyst. Palladium nanoparticles are the active species in the rearrangement process. In addition, when the same reactions were performed employing acetonitrile as solvent, selective dehydration of the aldoximes to form the respective nitriles was observed. For comparative purposes, the catalytic behaviour of an oxime-derived palladacyclic complex has also been briefly evaluated.

The reaction allows for the conversion of a wide variety of aldoximes including aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic aldoximes in good to excellent yields (50-98%). High efficiency, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, operational simplicity, simple purification of products and safe handling of the catalyst are important advantages of this method.

- Practical one-pot conversion of aryl bromides and β-bromostyrenes into aromatic nitriles and cinnamonitriles
-
Various aryl bromides were efficiently converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields by the treatment with Mg turnings and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH 3. The same treatment of aryl bromides, which are weakly reactive to Mg turnings, with iPrMgCl·LiCl and subsequently DMF, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH3 also afforded the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. On the other hand, when N-formylpiperidine was used instead of DMF, p-substituted β-bromostyrenes were converted into the corresponding p-substituted cinnamonitriles, i.e., α,β-unsaturated nitriles, in good to moderate yields by the same procedure. The reactions were carried out by means of a simple experimental procedure and did not require any toxic metal cyanides or expensive rare metals. Therefore, the present reactions are practical and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles, cinnamonitriles, and aliphatic nitriles from aryl bromides, β-bromostyrenes, and alkyl bromides, respectively, through the formation of Grignard reagents and their DMF or N-formylpiperidine adducts.

- Cyclic aromatic analogues of the hendrickson reagent; NMR studies and electrophilic properties
-
Two novel cyclic aromatic analogues of the Hendrickson POP reagent, 1,1,3,3-tetraphenyl-1,3-dihydro-2,1,3-benzoxadiphosphole-1,3-diium bis(trifluoromethanesulfinate) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate), have been readily prepared by the treatment of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene or 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)benzene, respectively, with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in dichloromethane. 31P and 19F NMR studies indicated that while the latter complex is formed as the sole product, the former species was shown to be the predominant component in equilibrium with 1-(diphenylphosphino)-2-[diphenyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)phosphonio]benzene trifluoromethanesulfinate and 1,2-bis[diphenyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy) phosphonio]benzene bis(trifluoromethanesulfinate). The dehydrating POP systems were exploited in the conversion of aldoximes into nitriles. The dehydration occurred rapidly at room temperature and produced high yields with a variety of alkyl- and arylaldoximes, tolerating a wide range of substrates and functional groups.

- Water-soluble complexes MX2L2 (M = Pd, Pt; L = PPh2(C6H4-p-SO3K)): Synthesis, stereoisomerism, and catalytic activities for aromatic cyanation in n-heptane/water biphasic solution
-
Reaction of (COD)MX2 (M = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, I; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and P(C6H5)2(C 6H4-p-SO3K) afforded water-soluble complexes MX2{P(C6H5)2(C6H 4-p-SO3K)}2 (M = Pd; X = Cl (1), M = Pt; X = Cl (2), I (3)) in high yields. Complexes 1-3 were fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods (IR, 1H-, 13C{1H}- and 31P{1H}-NMR spectroscopy) and elemental analyses. For 1 and 3, a mixture of the cis- and trans-isomer was produced from the reaction. For 2, however, only the cis-isomer was obtained. The stereochemistry of 1-3 can be assigned by the chemical shifts and the 1J(Pt-P) values in 31P{1H}-NMR spectral data. The ratios of the cis/trans isomers of 1 and 3 obtained from reactions in a range of solvents with various dielectric constants resulted in a little variation. However, addition of aqueous potassium halide solution to a DMSO-d6 solution of 1 and 3 considerably increased the ratio of the cis/trans, respectively, indicating a strong intramolecular interligand Coulombic repulsion between the ionic phosphine ligands is present. Catalytic cyanation of aromatic iodide with KCN/ZnCl2 in n-heptane/water biphasic system has been tested in the presence of 1-3 with base.

- NMR Studies and electrophilic properties of triphenylphosphine-trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride; a remarkable dehydrating reagent system for the conversion of aldoximes into nitriles
-
NMR Studies on the reaction of triphenylphosphine with various amounts of triflic anhydride at 0 °C is described. The reagent structure resulting from mixing 1.3 equiv of Ph3P with Tf2O (1.0 mmol) has been established as an equilibrium mixture consisting mainly of triphenyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)phosphonium trifluoromethanesulfinate and the corresponding bis(triphenyl)oxodiphosphonium trifluoromethanesulfinate dimer. The electrophilic properties of the system have been exploited in the development of a mild method for converting aldoximes into nitriles. The dehydration occurs at 0 °C under very mild conditions by initial activation of the oxime oxygen, followed by treatment with a base and subsequent elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide. The substrate scope and functional group tolerance of this useful method are explored.

- Simple and highly efficient procedure for conversion of aldoximes to nitriles using N-(p-Toluenesulfonyl) imidazole
-
A facile and efficient method for dehydration of aldoximes into nitriles using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, aldoximes were refluxed with TsIm in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) in dimethylformamide (DMF) to afford the corresponding nitriles in good yields. This methodology is highly efficient for various structurally diverse aldoximes including aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic oximes. A plausible mechanism for the conversion of aldoxime into nitriles using TsIm/DBU is explained. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

- Activated dimethyl sulfoxide dehydration of amide and its application to one-pot preparation of benzyl-type perfluoroimidates
-
Various types of primary amides were treated under an activated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) species, (COCl)2-DMSO and Et3N, as a dehydrating agent to obtain nitriles in excellent yield. This dehydration system was extended to a one-pot preparation of perfluoroimidates via volatile perfluoronitriles from perfluoroamides. Fifteen benzyl-type perfluoroimidates can be prepared in 70-90% yield as more stable imidates than the trichloro analogue. MPM- and DMPM-perfluoroimidates can be used to protect alcohols in place of the trichloroacetimidate with excellent chemical properties and in comparable yields.
