- Organotellurium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reactions using visible-light as the precise driving energy
-
Irradiated by visible light, the recyclable (PhTe)2-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction could occur under mild conditions. In comparison with the thermo reaction, the method employed reduced catalyst loading (1 mol% vs. 2.5 mol%), but afforded elevated product yields with expanded substrate scope. This work demonstrated that for the organotellurium-catalyzed reactions, visible light might be an even more precise driving energy than heating because it could break the Te–Te bond accurately to generate the active free radical catalytic intermediates without damaging the fragile substituents (e.g., heterocycles) of substrates. The use of O2 instead of explosive H2O2 as oxidant affords safer reaction conditions from the large-scale application viewpoint.

- PhSe(O)OH/NHPI-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction using air as oxidant
-
A novel oxidative deoximation method was developed in this article. Compared with the reported organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction, this reaction employed N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as the co-catalyst, so that the oxidative deoximation reaction could utilize air as oxidant in the green DMC solvent under mild reaction conditions. Control experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis results indicated that NHPI was essential for activating the catalytic organoselenium species. It could accelerate the activation of molecular oxygen in air to promote the reaction process. The reaction can avoid metal residues in product and is of potential application values in pharmaceutical industry due to the transition metal-free process.

A Ce-catalyzed strategy is developed to produce biaryl methanonesviaphotooxidative cleavage of C-C double bonds at room temperature. This reaction is performed under air and demonstrates high activity as well as functional group tolerance. A synergistic Ce/ROH catalytic mechanism is also proposed based on the experimental observations. This protocol should be the first successful Ce-catalyzed photooxidation reaction of olefins with air as the oxidant, which would provide inspiration for the development of novel Ce-catalyzed photochemical synthesis processes.

- Decatungstate-mediated solar photooxidative cleavage of CC bonds using air as an oxidant in water
-
With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.

Polysilane/alumina-supported palladium nanoparticle catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions under ligand-free conditions have been developed to synthesize diaryl ketones. High yields and selectivities were achieved even with low catalyst loading under atmospheric pressure of CO gas. A variety of aryl iodides and arylboronic acids could be utilized to afford the diaryl ketones in excellent yields. Moreover, the ligand-free immobilized palladium nanoparticles could be recovered by simple filtration and the catalytic activity could be maintained for several runs.

The dual function and role of iron(0) pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] has been identified in gaseous CO-free carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings, in which Fe(CO)5supplied COin situ, leading to the propagation of catalytically active Pd-Fe nanoparticles. Compared with typical carbonylative reaction conditions, CO gas (at high pressures), specialised exogenous ligands and inert reaction conditions were avoided. Our developed reaction conditions are mild, do not require specialised CO high pressure equipment, and exhibit wide functional group tolerance, giving a library of biaryl ketones in good yields.

- A Fast and General Route to Ketones from Amides and Organolithium Compounds under Aerobic Conditions: Synthetic and Mechanistic Aspects
-
We report that the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic amides by organolithium reagents proceeds quickly (20 s reaction time), efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad substrate scope in the environmentally responsible cyclopentyl methyl ether, at ambient temperature and under air, to provide ketones in up to 93 % yield with an effective suppression of the notorious over-addition reaction. Detailed DFT calculations and NMR investigations support the experimental results. The described methodology was proven to be amenable to scale-up and recyclability protocols. Contrasting classical procedures carried out under inert atmospheres, this work lays the foundation for a profound paradigm shift of the reactivity of carboxylic acid amides with organolithiums, with ketones being straightforwardly obtained by simply combining the reagents under aerobic conditions and with no need of using previously modified or pre-activated amides, as recommended.

- Novelmeta-benzothiazole and benzimidazole functionalised POCOP-Ni(ii) pincer complexes as efficient catalysts in the production of diarylketones
-
The synthesis of four novel non-symmetric Ni(ii)-POCOP pincer complexesmeta-functionalized with either benzothiazole or benzimidazole at the central aryl ring is described. All complexes were fully characterised in solution by various analytical techniques and the molecular structures in the solid state of complexes1b,2aand2bwere unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the Ni(ii)-POCOP pincer complexes were efficiently used as catalysts in the synthesis of diarylketones by cross-coupling reactions of functionalized benzaldehydes and boronic acid derivatives under relatively mild conditions. An important aspect of this transformation is the dependence on the steric properties of the donor groups (OPR2) of the pincer ligands, the more active compounds having the phosphinitos bearing isopropyl groups (1aand2a) than those containingtert-butyl substituents (1band2b).

- Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aryl Heteroaryl Ketones using Noyori-Ikariya Catalysts
-
A range of ketones flanked by a combination of an aromatic and a heterocyclic ring (furan, thiophene, N-methylimidazole) were reduced under asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) conditions. Using a range of [(arene)Ru(TsDPEN)Cl] precatalysts, including tethered derivatives, the reduction enantioselectivity was high (up to 99 % ee) in cases where the aromatic ring contained an ortho-substituent. The enantioselectivity is influenced by a combination of steric and electronic factors which for the furan and thiophene series, follow literature precedents. In the case of the N-methylimidazole-containing ketones, an unexpected switch in enantioselectivity took place upon variation of the opposing aromatic group. Pyrrole- containing ketones were resistant to reduction. This study demonstrates the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a range of hindered heterocyclic ketones, in high conversion and ee, using Noyori-Ikariya catalysts.

The solvent-free oxidation reactions proceeded efficiently regardless of the solid or liquid state of the substrates and reagents and could be applied to gram-scale synthesis without loss of the reaction efficiency. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Ru/C was maintained after five reuse cycles.

The development of new amide precursors for selective, catalytic activation of carbon-nitrogen bonds in amides is a fundamental objective of this emerging reactivity manifold. We report the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of N-acylcarbazoles and N-acylindoles with arylboronic acids by a highly selective N-C(O) cleavage. The key amide bond ground-state destabilization stems from Nlp to Ar conjugation and enables us for the first time to achieve reactivity similar to that for N-acylsulfonamide and N-acylcarbamate activation in simple anilides.

Abstract: In this study, a binuclear palladium complex immobilized on the organo-functionalized SBA-16 was prepared and structurally characterized by routine techniques. Characterizations indicated that the mesostructure of SBA-16 was maintained after the immobilization of palladium complex. Then, the prepared nanomaterial was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in the carbonylative Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids using Cr(CO)6 as carbonyl source. The catalyst was efficiently promoted the coupling reactions of various aryl iodides and arylboronic acids to give the corresponding diaryl ketones in excellent yields. Moreover, the catalyst was readily recovered by filtration and could be reused for seven cycles without losing its structural integrity and catalytic activity.

A highly efficient method for chemoselective synthesis of biaryl ketones by arylation of Weinreb amides (N-methoxy-N-methylamides) with functionalized Grignard reagents is reported. This protocol offers rapid entry to functionalized biaryl ketones after Mg/halide exchange with i-PrMgCl·LiCl under operationally-simple and practical reaction conditions. The scope of the method is highlighted in >40 examples, including bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical derivatives. Collectively, this transition-metal-free approach offers a major advantage over the recently established cross-coupling of amides by oxidative addition of N-C(O) bonds. Considering the utility of amide acylation reactions in modern synthesis, we expect that this method will be of broad interest.

Benzoylhydrazone Schiff base–ligated three new ONO pincer–type palladium(II) complexes, [(PdL1(PPh3)] (1), [(PdL2(PPh3)] (2), and [(PdL3(PPh3)] (3), were synthesized by the reaction of the respective ligand, N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide (HL1), N-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide (HL2), or N-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene) benzohydrazide (HL3), with Pd(OAc)2 and PPh3 in methanol and isolated as air-stable reddish-orange crystalline solids in high yields (78%–83%). All three complexes were fully characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Visible, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C{1H} NMR, and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopic studies. The molecular structure of all three complexes was established unambiguously by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies which revealed a distorted square planar geometry of all three complexes. The ONO pincer–type ligands occupied three coordination sites at the palladium, while the fourth site is occupied by the monodentate triphenylphosphine ligand. The catalytic potential of all three complexes was explored in the carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl bromides and iodides with arylboronic acids to yield biaryl ketones, using CHCl3 as the source of carbonyl. The reported protocol is convenient and safe as it obviates the use of carbon monoxide (CO) balloons or pressured CO reactors which are otherwise needed for the carbonylation reactions. The methodology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of two antineoplastic drugs, namely, phenstatin and naphthylphenstatin, in good yields (81% and 85%, respectively). Under the optimized reaction conditions, complex 2 exhibited the best catalytic activity in the carbonylative Suzuki couplings. The reported catalysts have wide reaction scope with good functional group tolerance. All catalysts could be retrieved from the reaction after completion and recycled up to three times with insignificant loss in the catalytic activity.

- Kinetically Controlled, Highly Chemoselective Acylation of Functionalized Grignard Reagents with Amides by N?C Cleavage
-
The direct transition-metal-free acylation of amides with functionalized Grignard reagents by highly chemoselective N?C cleavage under kinetic control has been accomplished. The method offers rapid and convergent access to functionalized biaryl ketones through transient tetrahedral intermediates. The direct access to functionalized Grignard reagents by in situ halogen–magnesium exchange promoted by the versatile turbo-Grignard reagent (iPrMgCl?LiCl) permits excellent substrate scope with respect to both the amide and Grignard coupling partners. These reactions enable facile, operationally simple and chemoselective access to tetrahedral intermediates from amides under significantly milder conditions than chelation-controlled intermediates. This novel direct two-component coupling sets the stage for using amides as acylating reagents in an alternative paradigm to the metal-chelated approach, acyl metals and Weinreb amides.

We herein report the fabrication of a bifunctional iron nanocomposite catalyst, in which two catalytically active sites of Fe-Nx and Fe phosphate, as oxidation and Lewis acid sites, were simultaneously integrated into a hierarchical N,P-dual doped porous carbon. As a bifunctional catalyst, it exhibited high efficiency for direct oxidative cleavage of alkenes into ketones or their oxidation into 1,2-diketones with a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance using TBHP as the oxidant in water under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, it could be easily recovered for successive recycling without appreciable loss of activity. Mechanistic studies disclose that the direct oxidation of alkenes proceeds via the formation of an epoxide as intermediate followed by either acid-catalyzed Meinwald rearrangement to give ketones with one carbon shorter or nucleophilic ring-opening to generate 1,2-diketones in a cascade manner. This study not only opens up a fancy pathway in the rational design of Fe-N-C catalysts but also offers a simple and efficient method for accessing industrially important ketones and 1,2-diketones from alkenes in a cost-effective and environmentally benign fashion.

- Iron-Enabled Utilization of Air as the Terminal Oxidant Leading to Aerobic Oxidative Deoximation by Organoselenium Catalysis

In contrast to conventional organoselenium-catalyzed oxidation reactions that require peroxide oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, in this work we found that, addition of a low loading of iron (II) could enable the successful utilization of air as the terminal oxidant in organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative deoximation reaction of ketoximes. This led to a new mild and relatively green aerobic oxidative deoximation method. Control reactions and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggest that iron is crucial in the catalytic cycle, working to prohibit the deactivation of selenium catalyst through an iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of low valent selenium species by air to the active high valent selenium species. Since air can be utilized as the terminal oxidant, this work may contribute to the advance of organoselenium catalysis. (Figure presented.).

A site-selective supported palladium nanoparticle catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with heteroaryl esters and arylboronic acids as coupling partners was developed. This methodology provides a heterogeneous catalytic route for aryl ketone formation via C(acyl)-O bond activation of esters by successful suppression of the undesired decarbonylation phenomenon. The catalyst can be reused and shows high activity after eight cycles. The XPS analysis of the catalyst before and after the reaction suggested that the reaction might be performed via a Pd0/PdII catalytic cycle that began with Pd0.

- Ketone Synthesis by a Nickel-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Primary Alcohols
-
An intermolecular coupling of primary alcohols and organotriflates has been developed to provide ketones by the action of a Ni(0) catalyst. This oxidative transformation is proposed to occur by the union of three distinct catalytic cycles. Two competitive oxidation processes generate aldehyde in situ via hydrogen transfer oxidation or (pseudo)dehalogenation pathways. As aldehyde forms, a Ni-catalyzed carbonyl-Heck process enables formation of the key carbon-carbon bond. The utility of this rare alcohol to ketone transformation is demonstrated through the synthesis of diverse complex and bioactive molecules.

- Decarboxylation with Carbon Monoxide: The Direct Conversion of Carboxylic Acids into Potent Acid Triflate Electrophiles
-
We report a new strategy for the conversion of carboxylic acids into potent acid triflate electrophiles. The reaction involves oxidative carbonylation of carboxylic acids with I2 in the presence of AgOTf, and is postulated to proceed via acyl hypoiodites that react with CO to form acid triflates. Coupling this chemistry with subsequent trapping with arenes offers a mild, room temperature approach to generate ketones directly from broadly available carboxylic acids without the use of corrosive and reactive Lewis or Bronsted acid additives, and instead from compounds that are readily available, stable, and functional group compatible.

- Sequential Organozinc Formation and Negishi Cross-Coupling of Amides Catalysed by Cobalt Salt
-
Herein, a cobalt-catalysed Negishi-type cross-coupling of amide derivatives is described. Apart from being the first example of cobalt-catalysed Negishi-type coupling of amides, the process described employs a unique, simple, and cheap catalytic system to perform both the organozinc formation and the Negishi-type coupling. Indeed, the same cobalt(II) bromide salt used to form the arylzinc species from aryl bromides is then re-used to perform the cross coupling of this resulting arylzinc with N-benzoyl glutarimides at room temperature. The main advantages of the reaction presented are its robustness and ease of use. Indeed, the reactions of organozinc formation and Negishi-type coupling are performed without precautions toward water or oxygen. (Figure presented.).

- A convenient and practical heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with formic acid as carbon monoxide source
-
A practical heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions has been developed using a bidentate phosphino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized palladium(II) complex as catalyst. Formic acid was utilized as the carbon monoxide source with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the activator, and a wide variety of biaryl ketones were generated in moderate to high yields. The new heterogeneous palladium catalyst can be prepared via a simple procedure and can easily be separated from a reaction mixture by simply applying an external magnet and recycled up to 10 times without any loss of activity.

- Arylation of Aldehydes to Directly Form Ketones via Tandem Nickel Catalysis
-
A nickel-catalyzed arylation of both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes proceeds with air-stable (hetero)arylboronic acids, with an exceptionally wide substrate scope. The neutral condition tolerates acidic hydrogen and sensitive polar groups and also preserves α-stereocenters of some chiral aldehydes. Interestingly, this nickel(0) catalysis does not follow common 1,2-insertion of arylmetal species to aldehydes and β-hydrogen elimination.

- Synthesis and palladium(II) metal chemistry of thiazoline/imidazoline derived ligands: An efficient catalyst for cross-coupling reactions of arylboronic acids with acid chlorides and aryl halides
-
The synthesis, reactivity, spectroscopic characterization and catalytic activities of a series of Pd(II) complexes bearing the chelating ligands 2-(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)aniline (2) and 2-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)aniline (3) are reported. The reactions of 2 with [Pd(COD)Cl2] in 1:1 and 1:2 (ligand into metal and metal into ligand) molar ratios afforded the mononuclear complexes, PdCl2{κ2?N,S ? 2?(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)aniline} (4), Pd{κ2?N,N’?2?(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)aniline}2 (5) and Pd{κ12?N,N’?κ22?N,S ? 2?(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)aniline}2 (6), respectively, in good yields. The neutral mononuclear palladium complexes PdCl2{κ2?N,N’?(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)aniline} (7) and Pd{κ2?N,N’?2?(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)aniline}2 (8) were synthesized using [Pd(COD)Cl2] with appropriate molar ratios. The palladium complexes 4–8 were evaluated for their catalytic activities in base assisted cross coupling reactions between acid chlorides and aryl halide with boronic acids. The complex 4 was found to be an efficient catalyst for producing unsymmetrical ketones (TOF = 19.8 min?1) while complex 7 was effective for making biaryls (TOF = 19.8 min?1).

- Hydrogen bond donor solvents enabled metal and halogen-free Friedel–Crafts acylations with virtually no waste stream
-
We have developed a metal and halogen-free Friedel–Crafts acylation protocol with virtually no waste stream generation. We propose a hydrogen bonding donor solvent will form a hydrogen bonding network and may provide significant rate enhancement for Friedel–Crafts reactions. Trifluoroacetic acid is one of the strongest H-bond donor solvents, which is also volatile and can be easily recovered by distillation without need for reaction workup. Our protocol is a ‘green’ Friedel–Crafts acylation process: 1) the catalyst can be recovered and reused; 2) using halogen free starting material (carboxylic acids anhydride or carboxylic acids); 3) no need for aqueous reaction work-up; 4) minimum or no waste steam generation.

- Thiyl radical promoted chemo- and regioselective oxidation of CC bonds using molecular oxygen: Via iron catalysis
-
The first example of the thiyl radical promoted ligand-free iron-catalyzed oxidative cleavage of alkenes using molecular oxygen (1 atm) has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and high chemo- and regioselectivity. It features a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility, enabling facile access to valuable molecules for application in medicinal chemistry. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a vital intermediate dioxetane might be involved in the reaction and a thiyl radical plays a synergistic role in facilitating the selective oxidation of the CC bond.

- A new efficient method for the preparation of intermediate aromatic ketones by Friedel–Crafts acylation
-
Abstract: As the most important method to prepare pharmaceutical and chemical intermediate aromatic ketones, Friedel–Crafts (F–C) acylation is used to seek a novel catalytic system which is imminently consistent with the concept of green chemistry. In this study, six deep eutectic solvents (DES) were synthesized for the Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction as a catalytic solvent. Among the six DES, choline chloride-zinc chloride ([ChCl][ZnCl2]2) proved to be the most competent candidate of electron-rich arenes with acylation reagent. It got the highest yield when 1.0 equivalent of [ChCl][ZnCl2]2 used with acyl halides at 70?°C. Recycled DES was reused directly without any extra process. After five cycles, the catalytic activity did not decrease significantly (80–85%). Finally, according to experimental validation, the possible mechanism of this reaction was considered. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Diaryl ketones are of much importance in organic synthesis as versatile intermediates and in industry for their useful properties. A mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed traditional ligand-free decarboxylative coupling of aryl α-keto carboxylic acid with aryl diazonium fluoroborate has been developed. A series of unsymmetrical diaryl ketones has been synthesized in moderate to good yields using this procedure. A radical pathway involving the acyl radical has been suggested.
