- Thermolysis of 1-phthalimidoaziridine-2-carbonitriles in the presence of dipolarophiles
-
Thermolysis of trans-3-phenyl-1-phthalimidoaziridine-2-carbonitrile and trans-1-phthalimidoaziridine-2,3-dicarbonitrile in the presence of several dipolarophiles involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to intermediate azomethine ylides and leads to 1-phthalimidopyrrolidine derivatives with good yields and high stereoselectivity. Thermally induced opening of the three-membered ring in trans-2,3-disubstituted 1-phthalimidoaziridines occurs in conrotatory mode to produce the corresponding cis-azomethine ylides in keeping with the orbital symmetry conservation rules. The relative configuration of substituents in the dipolarophiles is retained, which implies concerted mechanism of the addition.

- Palladium/magnesium-lanthanum mixed oxide catalyst in the heck reaction
-
A new, reusable palladium/magnesium-lanthanum mixed oxide catalyst has been found to exhibit unprecedented high catalytic activity and selectivity for the heterogeneous Heck cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with alkenes. The nature of the aryl halides has a determinate effect on the reaction yield. The corresponding reactions of a wide range of activated and non-activated aryl bromides and chlorides furnished the arylated product with high E/Z isomer ratios even already at 80°C. The stereoselectivity depended on the nature of the olefins.

The title compound, C14H8Cl4N2O, is an unexpected side product of a reaction to convert an acid chloride into a nitrile, the nature of which indicates the probable mechanism of the major reaction. In the crystal structure, a conjugated and approximately planar cinnamide framework is attached to an almost perpendicular tetrachloro-substituted pyridyl ring, severe steric interactions overcoming the enhanced delocalization which would occur with coplanarity.

- Azole Based Acetohydrazide Derivatives of Cinnamaldehyde Target and Kill Candida albicans by Causing Cellular Apoptosis
-
Opportunistic fungal pathogens including Candida albicans are responsible for the alarming rise in hospital acquired infections and millions of deaths worldwide. The current treatment modalities are not enough to handle this situation, and therefore, new treatment modalities and strategies are desperately needed. In this direction, we synthesized a series of azole based acetohydrazide derivatives of cinnamaldehyde and subjected it to antifungal activity evaluation. Preliminary antifungal activity evaluation revealed tremendous antifungal potential of some of the derivatives against fluconazole susceptible and resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans. Although all the compounds in the series are structurally similar except for the presence of different substituents on the phenyl ring of the acetohydrazide pendent, they sharply differed in their activity profile. Further mechanism of action studies revealed that these compounds have an apoptotic effect on C. albicans confirmed via Annexin V-FITC staining and TUNEL assay.

- Selective oxidation of alcohols to nitriles with high-efficient Co-[Bmim]Br/C catalyst system
-
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%. The substitution of ammonia and oxygen for toxic cyanide to participate in the reaction accords with the theory of green chemistry.

The conversion of an aldehyde into a nitrile can be efficiently performed using O-phenylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in buffered aqueous solutions. The reported method is specifically optimized for aqueous-soluble substrates including carbohydrates. Several reducing sugars including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and silyl-protected saccharides were transformed into cyanohydrins in high yields. The reaction conditions are also suitable for the formation of nitriles from various types of hydrophobic aldehyde substrates. Furthermore, cyanide can be eliminated from cyanohydrins, analogous to the Wohl degradation, by utilizing a readily-removed weakly basic resin as a promoter.

- Palladium Nanoparticles Anchored on Magnesium Organosilicate: An Effective and Selective Catalyst for the Heck Reaction
-
A new and effective palladium catalyst supported on a magnesium organosilicate for application in the Heck reaction is presented. A group of compounds comprising 22 examples were synthesized in moderate to high yields (up to 99%) within a short time. The palladium supported on magnesium organosilicate catalyst was characterized as an amorphous solid by SEM, containing around 33% of palladium inside the solid, and even with this low quantity of palladium, the catalyst was very efficient in the Heck reaction. Besides, based on the Scherrer equation, the crystallite size of the synthesized palladium nanoparticles was ultrasmall (around 1.3 nm). This strategy is a simple and efficient route for the formation of C-C bonds via the Heck cross-coupling reaction.

Efficient hydrogenation of electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes access to saturate ketone with CH3OH as a single hydrogen donor under electrochemical conditions has been successfully developed. This hydrogenation strategy can be used to convert electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes to saturate ketone under electrochemical conditions with exogenous-reductant and a metal catalyst. Mechanistic studies reveal that radical hydrogenation was involved in this transformation. Notably, various electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes could be tolerated in such an electrochemical hydrogenation synthetic strategy and can be easily scaled up with good efficiency.

- Selective Construction of C?C and C=C Bonds by Manganese Catalyzed Coupling of Alcohols with Phosphorus Ylides
-
Herein, we report the manganese catalyzed coupling of alcohols with phosphorus ylides. The selectivity in the coupling of primary alcohols with phosphorus ylides to form carbon-carbon single (C?C) and carbon-carbon double (C=C) bonds can be controlled by the ligands. In the conversion of more challenging secondary alcohols with phosphorus ylides the selectivity towards the formation of C?C vs. C=C bonds can be controlled by the reaction conditions, namely the amount of base. The scope and limitations of the coupling reactions were thoroughly evaluated by the conversion of 21 alcohols and 15 ylides. Notably, compared to existing methods, which are based on precious metal complexes as catalysts, the present catalytic system is based on earth abundant manganese catalysts. The reaction can also be performed in a sequential one-pot reaction generating the phosphorus ylide in situ followed manganese catalyzed C?C and C=C bond formation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C?C bond was generated via a borrowing hydrogen pathway and the C=C bond formation followed an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).

- Reaction of electrogenerated cyanomethyl anion with cyclohexylisocyanate: Synthesis of N-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl) acetamide. An unexpected product
-
The contamination with water of the cathodic ACN-Et4NBF4 solution gave us the opportunity to investigate alkyl isocyanate reactivity toward electrogenerated anions. The cathodic reduction of a ACN-Et4NBF4 solution led to the formation of both hydroxide and cyanomethyl anions. The reaction of the catholyte with cyclohexylisocyanate led to the exclusive formation of acetamidated product, with no traces of cyanomethylated one. On the contrary, when reacting with benzaldehyde only the cyanomethylated was isolated. Considering that the acetamidated product of benzaldehyde is reported to be unstable (thus its formation cannot be excluded), various experiments were carried out in order to understand the anomalous reactivity of cyclohexylisocyanate. Moreover, computational analysis allowed to state the higher stability of acetamidated product with respect to the cyanomethylated one. The possibility of a concerted reaction, instead of acetamide anion formation prior to the reaction, is still an open question.

- Nitromethane as a nitrogen donor in Schmidt-type formation of amides and nitriles
-
The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

A series of alkene-tethered oxime ethers derived from benzaldehyde and cinnamyl aldehyde derivatives were converted into the corresponding benzonitriles and cinnamonitriles in 46-98% yields using the nickel catalyst system. Control experiments showed that the alkene group tethered to an oxygen atom on the oximes via one methylene unit plays a key role as a traceless directing group during the catalysis.

- Catalytic and antibacterial properties of 3-dentate carboxamide Pd/Pt complexes obtained via a benign route
-
The complexes PdII(qcq)(OAc) and PtII(qcq)Cl have been synthesized using environmentally benign synthesized ligands and characterized by elemental analyses: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The catalytic activity of the complex was assessed, in different media, for the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction for typical aryl halides and terminal olefins under aerobic conditions. Since the base and the solvent were found to influence the efficiency of the reaction, reaction conditions, temperature, time, and the amount of K3PO4 and a mixture of H2O/PEG, were optimized. We found, for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction coupling less reactive aryl chloride derivatives with olefins, promising activity for palladium catalysts. The electrochemical behavior of Hqcq and the Pd(II) complex was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and irreversible PdII/I reductions were observed. Hqcq and the Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes were also screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity. They showed promising antibacterial activity comparable to that of the antibiotic penicillin.

- 1,3-Diphenyldisiloxane Enables Additive-Free Redox Recycling Reactions and Catalysis with Triphenylphosphine
-
The recently reported chemoselective reduction of phosphine oxides with 1,3-diphenyldisiloxane (DPDS) has opened up the possibility of additive-free phosphine oxide reductions in catalytic systems. Herein we disclose the use of this new reducing agent as an enabler of phosphorus redox recycling in Wittig, Staudinger, and alcohol substitution reactions. DPDS was successfully utilized in ambient-temperature additive-free redox recycling variants of the Wittig olefination, Appel halogenation, and Staudinger reduction. Triphenylphosphine-promoted catalytic recycling reactions were also facilitated by DPDS. Additive-free triphenylphosphine-promoted catalytic Staudinger reductions could even be performed at ambient temperature due to the rapid nature of phosphinimine reduction, for which we characterized kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. These results demonstrate the utility of DPDS as an excellent reducing agent for the development of phosphorus redox recycling reactions.

- An aerobic and green C-H cyanation of terminal alkynes
-
This study describes a benign C-H cyanation of terminal alkynes with α-cyanoesters serving as a nontoxic cyanide source. In situ generation of the key copper cyanide intermediate is proposed by a sequence of α-C-H oxidation and copper-mediated β-carbon elimination of α-cyanoesters, releasing the α-ketoester byproduct observed experimentally. The ensuing reaction of copper cyanide with terminal alkynes delivers preferentially cyanoalkynes and surpasses the possible Glaser type dimerization of terminal alkynes or the undesired accumulation of HCN under protic conditions. The presence of the co-oxidant K2S2O8 is crucial to this selectivity, probably by promoting oxidative transmetalation and the resulting formation of the Cu(iii)(acetylide)(CN) intermediate. All the reagents and salts used are commercially available, cheap and nontoxic, avoiding the use of highly toxic cyanide salts typically required in cyanation studies. The scope of this reaction is demonstrated with a set of alkynes and α-cyanoesters. The application of this method to late-stage functionalization of the terminal alkyne group in an estrone derivative is also feasible, showing its practical value for drug design.

The reactions of azastibocines with alkenes such as vinyl ketones, alkenes, and acrylates in the presence of 10 mol% PdCl2 at 80 °C in DMA under aerobic conditions produced Heck adducts in moderate-to-excellent yields. Single-crystal X-ray and NMR analysis revealed that the aryl donors in this reaction, the Sb-aryl-1,5-azastibocines, are hypervalent compounds that display N–Sb intramolecular non-bonding interaction. These are the first examples of Pd-catalyzed Heck-type arylations using heterocyclic hypervalent organoantimony compounds. Although the reactions proceeded efficiently with the azastibocines, they hardly progressed with trivalent and pentavalent triarylantimony reagents.

Abstract: A new catalytic system for Suzuki and Heck coupling has been developed from multi-functionalized task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) and in situ formed palladium nanoparticles (PdNps). The generated PdNPs were characterized by UV–Visible spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. These PdNPs have found size below 10?nm and exhibited a excellent catalytic activity in the cross-coupling of aryl halide without using external phosphine ligand. Along with electron deficient olefins, electron rich olefins were also undergo smooth reaction giving excellent yield. The results obtained in ionic liquid are compared with results obtained in deep eutectic solvents. Progress of reaction was found very smooth in ionic liquid rather than in deep eutectic solvents. The aqueous system containing ionic liquid along with PdNPs was recycled for seven times, without any significant loss. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

The procedure has been applied for a wide range of aryl halides, arylboronic acids, and alkenes. The magnetic separation by an external magnetic field, mild reaction conditions, and catalyst reusability up to four times without significant decrease in catalytic activity (reduced catalytic activity from 11 to 18 % in the fifth, sixth, and seventh cycles) made the present method sustainable and economically viable for C-C cross-coupling reactions.

- Phosphetane oxides as redox cycling catalysts in the catalytic wittig reaction at room temperature
-
Recently, phosphorus redox cycling has gained significant importance for a number of transformations originally requiring the use of stoichiometric amounts of phosphorus reagents. While these methodologies have several benefits, high catalyst loadings (≥10 mol percent) and harsh reaction conditions (T ≥ 100 °C) often limit their versatility and applicability. Herein, we report differently substituted phosphetane oxides as efficient catalysts for the catalytic Wittig reaction. The phosphetane scaffold is easy to modify, and a number of catalysts can be obtained in a simple two-step synthesis. The activity in the Wittig reaction significantly surpasses previously reported phospholane-based catalysts and the reaction can be conducted with catalyst loadings as low as 1.0 mol percent even at room temperature. Furthermore, a Br?nsted acid additive is no longer required to achieve high yields at these mild conditions. A methyl-substituted phosphetane oxide was employed to synthesize 25 different alkenes with yields of up to 97percent. The methodology has a good functional group tolerance and the reaction can be performed starting with alkyl chlorides, bromides, or iodides. Additionally, it was possible to use poly(methylhydrosiloxane) as the terminal reductant in the catalytic Wittig reaction employing 2-MeTHF as a renewable solvent. The intermediates of the Wittig reaction were analyzed by 31P NMR spectroscopy, and in situ NMR experiments confirmed phosphane oxide as the resting state of the catalyst. Further kinetic investigations revealed a striking influence of the base on the rate of phosphane oxide reduction.

- Heck and oxidative boron Heck reactions employing Pd(II) supported amphiphilized polyethyleneimine-functionalized MCM-41 (MCM-41@aPEI-Pd) as an efficient and recyclable nanocatalyst
-
A novel nanocatalyst was developed based on covalent surface functionalization of MCM-41 with polyethyleneimine (PEI) using [3-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)propyl] trimethoxysilane (EPO) as a cross-linker. Amine functional groups on the surface of MCM-41 were then conjugated with iodododecane to render an amphiphilic property to the catalyst. Palladium (II) was finally immobilized onto the MCM-41@PEI-dodecane and the resulted MCM-41@aPEI-Pd nanocatalyst was characterized by FT-IR, TEM, ICP-AES and XPS. Our designed nanocatalyst with a distinguished core-shell structure and Pd2+ ions as catalytic centers was explored as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for Heck and oxidative boron Heck coupling reactions. In Heck coupling reaction, the catalytic activity of MCM-41@aPEI-Pd in the presence of triethylamine as base led to very high yields and selectivity. Meanwhile, the MCM-41@aPEI-Pd as the first semi-heterogeneous palladium catalyst was examined in the C-4 regioselective arylation of coumarin via the direct C-H activation and the moderate to excellent yields were obtained toward different functional groups. Leaching test indicated the high stability of palladium on the surface of MCM-41@aPEI-Pd as it could be recycled for several runs without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

- Selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic amines to aryl nitriles catalyzed by CuBr2/N-methyl imidazole
-
A convenient and efficient copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary amines to aryl nitriles was described. Various benzylic and allylic amines were selectively oxidized to the corresponding nitriles in high yields using CuBr2/NMI as the catalyst and O2 as the oxidant. The oxidation reaction profiles monitored by 1H NMR disclosed the scenario of the reaction path as well as the role of the additives. The addition of NMI increased the rate of reaction and suppressed the hydrolysis and the deamination.

- Pd/Mn Bimetallic Relay Catalysis for Aerobic Aldoxime Dehydration to Nitriles
-
A Pd/Mn bimetal system was found to be an effective catalyst for dehydration of aldoximes to the useful nitriles under mild aerobic conditions. Different to the known metal-catalyzed aldoxime dehydration reactions, this reaction very possibly proceeded via an alternative mechanism of Pd/Mn bimetal relay catalysis involving a Mn-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of aldoximes to nitrile oxides by air and a Pd-catalyzed oxygen transfer from the nitrile oxides to the solvent acetonitrile. This method tolerates a variety of substrates including sterically bulky ones and also the natural product derivative. (Figure presented.).

- Selective and facile synthesis of α,β-unsaturated nitriles and amides with N-hydroxyphthalimide as the nitrogen source
-
The direct conversion of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to corresponding nitriles promoted by Pd(OAc)2 and phthalic acid which was hydrolyzed from N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) has been disclosed. Additionally, it was found that when water was used as the solvent, α,β-unsaturated amides was obtained as the main products in good to excellent yields. It was first reported that NHPI was utilized as the nitrogen source to synthesize α,β-unsaturated nitriles and amides from aldehydes. Control experiment demonstrated that aldehydes undergo a process of oximation and dehydration to form nitriles and amides.

- Kryptofix 5 as an inexpensive and efficient ligand for the palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction
-
A novel complex of PdCl2 with a multidentate cryptand ligand, Kryptofix 5, has been prepared and characterized by various techniques including 1H- and 13C NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Raman, ultraviolet and visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), CHN elemental and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). This heat- and air-stable complex was utilized as a highly active catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl halides with various olefins. Interestingly, it was found that aryl bromides as well as aryl iodides were efficiently cross-coupled with terminal alkenes at 130?°C in 10?min. Furthermore, the least reactive aryl chlorides reacted with styrene to obtain the desired products in acceptable yields.

- Development and Utilization of a Palladium-Catalyzed Dehydration of Primary Amides to Form Nitriles
-
A palladium(II) catalyst, in the presence of Selectfluor, enables the efficient and chemoselective transformation of primary amides into nitriles. The amides can be attached to aromatic rings, heteroaromatic rings, or aliphatic side chains, and the reactions tolerate steric bulk and electronic modification. Dehydration of a peptaibol containing three glutamine groups afforded structure-activity relationships for each glutamine residue. Thus, this dehydration can act similarly to an alanine scan for glutamines via synthetic mutation.

- HETEROGENEOUS COPPER-CATALYZED AEROBIC OXIDATIVE CONVERSION OF AROMATIC ALDEHYDES TO CORRESPONDING NITRILES
-
The present invention relates to a method of aerobic oxidative converting aromatic aldehyde to nitrile. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of aerobic oxidative conversion of an aromatic aldehyde to nitrile using a heterogeneous copper catalyst, and optimization of reaction conditions applied thereto. The method can obtain nitrile at high yield with respect to various substrates by synthesizing nitrile, e.g., benzonitrile from aromatic aldehyde, e.g., benzaldehyde and an ammonia source, e.g., ammonia water under an oxygen condition by using TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl) and a heterogeneous copper catalyst (Cu@C) obtained by pyrolyzing HKUST-1, i.e., a type of a metal-organic framework, and enables the heterogeneous copper catalyst to be reused at least three or more times without significant loss of catalytic activities since the heterogeneous copper catalyst maintains structure thereof even under the presence of the ammonia source.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2018

- Catalytic Promiscuity of Galactose Oxidase: A Mild Synthesis of Nitriles from Alcohols, Air, and Ammonia
-
We report an unprecedented catalytically promiscuous activity of the copper-dependent enzyme galactose oxidase. The enzyme catalyses the one-pot conversion of alcohols into the related nitriles under mild reaction conditions in ammonium buffer, consuming ammonia as the source of nitrogen and dioxygen (from air at atmospheric pressure) as the only oxidant. Thus, this green method does not require either cyanide salts, toxic metals, or undesired oxidants in stoichiometric amounts. The substrate scope of the reaction includes benzyl and cinnamyl alcohols as well as 4- and 3-pyridylmethanol, giving access to valuable chemical compounds. The oxidation proceeds through oxidation from alcohol to aldehyde, in situ imine formation, and final direct oxidation to nitrile.

- Well-Defined Rhodium-Gallium Catalytic Sites in a Metal-Organic Framework: Promoter-Controlled Selectivity in Alkyne Semihydrogenation to E-Alkenes
-
Promoters are ubiquitous in industrial heterogeneous catalysts. The wider roles of promoters in accelerating catalysis and/or controlling selectivity are, however, not well understood. A model system has been developed where a heterobimetallic active site comprising an active metal (Rh) and a promoter ion (Ga) is preassembled and delivered onto a metal-organic framework (MOF) support, NU-1000. The Rh-Ga sites in NU-1000 selectively catalyze the hydrogenation of acyclic alkynes to E-alkenes. The overall stereoselectivity is complementary to the well-known Lindlar's catalyst, which generates Z-alkenes. The role of the Ga in promoting this unusual selectivity is evidenced by the lack of semihydrogenation selectivity when Ga is absent and only Rh is present in the active site.

- Amphipathic monolith-supported palladium catalysts for chemoselective hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions
-
A palladium catalyst immobilized on an amphipathic and monolithic polystyrene-divinylbenzene polymer bearing strongly acidic cation exchange functions (sulfonic acid moieties) (Pd/CM) was developed. It was used as a catalyst for hydrogenation and ligand-free cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura, Mizoroki-Heck, and copper- and amine-free Sonogashira-type reactions, together with a palladium catalyst supported on monolithic polymer (Pd/AM) bearing basic anion exchange functions (ammonium salt moieties), which has been in practical use for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produced as a byproduct during the manufacture of ultrapure water. While the Pd/CM was highly active as a catalyst for the hydrogenation and a variety of reducible functional groups could be reduced, the use of Pd/AM led to a unique chemoselective hydrogenation. Aromatic carbonyl groups were tolerant under the Pd/AM-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions, although benzyl esters, benzyl ethers, and N-Cbz groups could be smoothly hydrocracked. The cross-coupling reactions readily proceeded using either catalyst. The palladium leaching from the Pd/CM into the reaction media was never observed during the Sonogashira-type reaction, which was hardly achieved by other palladium-supported heterogeneous catalysts due to the good affinity of the palladium species with alkynes.

- Associative Covalent Relay: An Oxadiazolone Strategy for Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Primary Pyridinylamines
-
A relay formalism is proposed herein for categorizing the interplay among reactants, target product, and catalytic center in transition-metal catalysis, an important factor that can dictate overall catalysis viability and efficiency. In this formalism, transition-metal catalysis can proceed by dissociative relay, associative covalent relay, and associative dative relay modes. An intriguing associative covalent relay process operates in rhodium(III)-catalyzed oxadiazolone-directed alkenyl C?H coupling with alkynes and allows efficient access to primary pyridinylamines. Although the primary pyridinylamine synthesis mechanism is posteriori rationalized, the relay formalism formulated herein can provide an important mechanistic conceptual framework for future catalyst design and reaction development.
