- Reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives using sodium borohydride and transition metal sulfides
-
Reported here is the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds using sodium borohydride and transition metal sulfides as catalysts. The reaction conditions were optimized using the reduction of nitrobenzene as a model reaction. The catalysts studied were iron sulfide (Fe3S4), copper sulfide (CuS), zinc sulfide (ZnS), cobalt sulfide (Co3S4), and nickel sulfide (NiS). The reduction was monitored using gas chromatography. Quantitative conversions were achieved using Co3S4 and NiS, representing a ten-fold increase in reactivity compared to the non-catalyzed reaction. Fe3S4 and ZnS had no apparent effect on the reduction of nitrobenzene while the reduction using CuS showed a marginal increase. The reduction method was applied to several aryl-nitro derivatives containing either electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. Halogen containing aryl-nitro compounds were reduced without dehalogenation. The reduction had no effect on other functional groups such as carboxylic acids, esters, amides, or alkenes, indicating that the reduction is highly chemoselective.

- Dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxide–a new cyclic ketomethylenic reagent for the Dimroth-type 1,2,3-triazole synthesis
-
A series of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiopyrano[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole 4,4-dioxides, new triazole-based bicyclic ring system, were prepared via base-mediated click reaction of organic azides with the readily available dihydro-2H-thiopyran-3(4H)-one-1,1-dioxide. The reaction proceeded at room temperature in 5-12 h with catalysis by base-solvent system K2CO3/DMSO. High purity products were isolated by simple filtration and no formation of side products was observed. The key structure was confirmed by an X-ray study.

- Hydrogen Sulfide Donors Activated by Reactive Oxygen Species
-
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exhibits promising protective effects in many (patho)physiological processes, as evidenced by recent reports using synthetic H2S donors in different biological models. Herein, we report the design and evaluation of compounds denoted PeroxyTCM, which are the first class of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered H2S donors. These donors are engineered to release carbonyl sulfide (COS) upon activation, which is quickly hydrolyzed to H2S by the ubiquitous enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). The donors are stable in aqueous solution and do not release H2S until triggered by ROS, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide (O2?), and peroxynitrite (ONOO?). We demonstrate ROS-triggered H2S donation in live cells and also demonstrate that PeroxyTCM-1 provides protection against H2O2-induced oxidative damage, suggesting potential future applications of PeroxyTCM and similar scaffolds in H2S-related therapies.

- Nickel Boride Catalyzed Reductions of Nitro Compounds and Azides: Nanocellulose-Supported Catalysts in Tandem Reactions
-
Nickel boride catalyst prepared in situ from NiCl2 and sodium borohydride allowed, in the presence of an aqueous solution of TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (0.01 wt%), the reduction of a wide range of nitroarenes and aliphatic nitro compounds. Here we describe how the modified nanocellulose has a stabilizing effect on the catalyst that enables low loading of the nickel salt pre-catalyst. Ni-B prepared in situ from a methanolic solution was also used to develop a greener and facile reduction of organic azides, offering a substantially lowered catalyst loading with respect to reported methods in the literature. Both aromatic and aliphatic azides were reduced, and the protocol is compatible with a one-pot Boc-protection of the obtained amine yielding the corresponding carbamates. Finally, bacterial crystalline nanocellulose was chosen as a support for the Ni-B catalyst to allow an easy recovery step of the catalyst and its recyclability for new reduction cycles.

- High yielding electrophilic amination with lower order and?higher order organocuprates: Application of acetone O-(4-Chlorophenylsulfonyl)oxime in the construction of the C?N bond at room temperature
-
Electrophilic amination reaction was performed with lower order and?higher order organocuprates using acetone O-(4-Chlorophenylsulfonyl)oxime (1). It was proceeded smoothly at room temperature in the presence of organocuprates to provide the corresponding primary amines in good yields with 10 and 60 min, respectively. The primary amine yields of the electrophilic amination of bromomagnesium organocyanocuprates and dibromomagnesium diorganocyanocuprates were obtained 52–72% and 58–83%, respectively. We observed that higher order organocuprates were more successful than lower order organocuprates in the synthesis of functionalized arylamines by electrophilic amination.

We report the first example of homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of the N=N bond of azo compounds using a complex of an earth-abundant-metal. The hydrogenation reaction is catalyzed by a manganese pincer complex, proceeds under mild conditions, and yields amines, which makes this methodology a sustainable alternative route for the conversion of azo compounds. A plausible mechanism involving metal-ligand cooperation and hydrazine intermediacy is proposed based on mechanistic studies. (Figure presented.).

- Aluminum Metal-Organic Framework-Ligated Single-Site Nickel(II)-Hydride for Heterogeneous Chemoselective Catalysis
-
The development of chemoselective and heterogeneous earth-abundant metal catalysts is essential for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. We report a highly efficient, chemoselective, and reusable single-site nickel(II) hydride catalyst based on robust and porous aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (DUT-5) for hydrogenation of nitro and nitrile compounds to the corresponding amines and hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers under mild conditions. The nickel-hydride catalyst was prepared by the metalation of aluminum hydroxide secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 having the formula of Al(μ2-OH)(bpdc) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) with NiBr2 followed by a reaction with NaEt3BH. DUT-5-NiH has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance in the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitro and nitrile compounds under 1 bar H2 and could be recycled and reused at least 10 times. By changing the reaction conditions of the hydrogenation of nitriles, symmetric or unsymmetric secondary amines were also afforded selectively. The experimental and computational studies suggested reversible nitrile coordination to nickel followed by 1,2-insertion of coordinated nitrile into the nickel-hydride bond occurring in the turnover-limiting step. In addition, DUT-5-NiH is also an active catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenolysis of carbon-oxygen bonds in aryl ethers to afford hydrocarbons under atmospheric hydrogen in the absence of any base, which is important for the generation of fuels from biomass. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for practical and eco-friendly production of chemical feedstocks and biofuels.

- Highly efficient N-doped carbon supported FeSx-Fe2O3 catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes via pyrolysis of sulfurized N,Fe-containing MOFs
-
Integrating MOFs as precursor, especially for employing N-containing organic linkers, with sulfides is an effective method to prepare the highly efficient N-doped carbon supported metal-based catalysts for hydrogenation of nitroarenes. In this work, a N,Fe-containing metal organic frameworks (MOFs; termed as MIL88-HMTA) with spindle-like structure was prepared via self-assembly method, in which hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) linker was introduced as N source. Subsequently, N-doped carbon supported FeSx-Fe2O3 catalyst (named FeSx-Fe2O3@CN) was fabricated upon the pyrolysis of sulfurized MIL88-HMTA. Catalytic experiments reveal that the FeSx-Fe2O3@CN delivered excellent performance for hydrogenation of nitroarenes in comparison with those of catalyst without sulfidation process (Fe2O3@CN) and conventional MIL88 derived catalyst (Fe2O3@C). The XRD, TEM, SEM/EDX, Raman, UV, and XPS analyses have revealed that the developed FeSx-Fe2O3@CN catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic efficiency was ascribed to synergistic effect between FeSx and Fe2O3 species, abundant structural defects, more Fe-Nx species, and strengthened decomposition ability of hydrazine hydrate (N2H4?H2O). Furthermore, the effect of sulfidation ratio (the mass ratio between thioacetamide and MIL88-HMTA) towards preparation of the developed FeSx-Fe2O3@CN on the catalytic activity of hydrogenation reaction was also systematically performed. Notably, the optimized catalyst (denoted as FeSx-Fe2O3@CN-8) exhibited unexpected performance and recyclability for hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild condition. The pyrolysis of sulfurized N-containing MOFs may present a facile approach for fabricating MOFs-derived N-doped carbon supported catalysts, which provides a potential application in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

- Rhodium nanoparticles supported on 2-(aminomethyl)phenols-modified Fe3O4 spheres as a magnetically recoverable catalyst for reduction of nitroarenes and the degradation of dyes in water
-
A magnetic nanostructured catalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh) modified with 2-(aminomethyl)phenols (Amp) was designed and prepared, which is used to catalyze the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds into corresponding amines and the degradation of dyes. The 2-aminomethylphenol motif plays a vital role in the immobilization of rhodium nanoparticles to offer extraordinary stability, which has been characterized by using various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A variety of nitroaromatic derivatives have been reduced to the corresponding anilines in water with up to yields of 99% within 1?h at room temperature. In addition, the catalyst system is effective in catalyzing the reduction of toxic pollutant 4-nitrophenol and the degradation of MO, MB and RhB dyes. Importantly, this catalyst Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field because of the presence of magnetic core of Fe3O4, and the activity of Fe3O4@SiO2-Amp-Rh does not decrease significantly after 7 times’ recycling, which indicates that the catalyst performed high reactivity as well as stability.

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of NiO@PolyMo nanocomposite. The newly synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particle sizes of the NiO@PolyMo nanocatalyst are in the range of 10–20 nm. Powder XRD patterns show that the phase of NiO@PolyMo remains unaltered even after the functionalization of NiO. The lattice fringes of d = 0.20 nm were observed, which correspond to the (111) plane of NiO phase. The newly synthesized material shows excellent catalytic performance and good selectivity for reduction of nitroarenes. The advantages of the present protocols are mild, and can be carried out using water as a solvent, which is an eco-friendly benign.

The direct hydrogenation reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines with non-noble metals is an attractive area. Herein, the pyrolysis of Co(2-methylimidazole)2 metal-organic framework successfully produces a magnetic Co-N/C nanocomposite, which exhibits a porous structure with a high specific area and uniform Co nanoparticle distribution in nitrogen-doped graphite. In addition, the Co-N/C catalysts possess high cobalt content (23%) with highly active β-Co as the main existing form and high nitrogen content (3%). These interesting characteristics endow the Co-N/C nanocomposite with excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction of nitro compounds under mild conditions. In addition, the obtained Co-N/C nanocomposites possess a broad substrate scope and good cycle stability for the reduction of halogen-substituted or carbonyl substituted phenyl nitrates.

- Development and Application of Efficient Ag-based Hydrogenation Catalysts Prepared from Rice Husk Waste
-
The development of strategies for the sustainable management and valorization of agricultural waste is of outmost importance. With this in mind, we report the use of rice husk (RH) as feedstock for the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation reactions. The catalysts were prepared by impregnating the milled RH with a silver nitrate solution followed by carbothermal reduction. The composition and morphology of the prepared catalysts were fully assessed by IR, AAS, ICP-MS, XPS, XRD and STEM techniques. This novel bio-genic silver-based catalysts showed excellent activity and remarkable selectivity in the hydrogenation of nitro groups in both aromatic and aliphatic substrates, even in the presence of reactive functionalities like halogens, carbonyls, borate esters or nitriles. Recycling experiments showed that the catalysts can be easily recovered and reused multiple times without significant drop in performance and without requiring re-activation.

- Magnetically‐recoverable Schiff base complex of Pd(II) immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aniline derivatives
-
Fe3O4@SiO2/Schiff base/Pd(II) is reported as a magnetically recoverable heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). In this regard, a small amount of the nanocatalyst (0.52?mol% Pd) and hydrazine hydrate, showing safe characteristics and perfect ability as the hydrogen donor, were added to the nitro substrates. The experiments described the successful reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalyst, due to its magnetic property, could be simply separated from the reaction mixture by a permanent magnet and reused in seven consecutive reactions without considerable loss in its activity. Moreover, the leaching of Pd was only 3.6% after the seventh run. Thus, the most striking feature of this method is to use a small amount of the magnetic nanocatalyst along with a cheap and safe hydrogen source to produce the important amine substances selectively, which makes the method economical, cheap, environmentally friendly, and simple.

- Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene Ligand-Promoted Nitro Deoxygenative Hydroboration with Chromium Catalysis: Scope, Mechanism, and Applications
-
Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 × 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theoretical calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several commercially available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chemistry.

- Catalytic Deoxygenation of Nitroarenes Mediated by High-Valent Molybdenum(VI)-NHC Complexes

The high-valent molybdenum(VI) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes, (NHC)MoO2 (1) and (NHC)MoO(NtBu) (2) (NHC = 1,3-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenolato)-benzimidazol-2-ylidene), are investigated toward their catalytic potential in the deoxygenation of nitroarenes. Using pinacol as the sacrificial and green reductant, both complexes are shown to be very active (pre)catalysts for this transformation allowing a reduction of the catalyst loading down to 0.25 mol %. Mechanistic investigations show μ-oxo bridged molybdenum(V) complexes [(NHC)MoO]2O (4) and [(NHC)Mo(NtBu)]2O (5) as well as zwitterionic pinacolate benzimidazolium complex 6, with a doubly protonated NHC ligand, to be potentially active species in the catalytic cycle. Both 4 and 5 can be prepared independently by the deoxygenation of 1 and 2 using triethyl phosphine (PEt3) or triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) and were shown to exhibit an unusual multireferenced ground state with a very small singlet-triplet gap at room temperature. Computational studies show that the spin state plays an unneglectable role in the catalytic process, efficiently lowering the reaction barrier of the deoxygenation step. Mechanistic details, putting special emphasis on the fate of the catalyst will be presented and potential routes how nitroarene reduction is facilitated are evaluated.

- Generation of a Sulfinamide Species from Facile N-O Bond Cleavage of Nitrosobenzene by a Thiolate-Bridged Diiron Complex
-
The activation of nitrosobenzene promoted by transition-metal complexes has gained considerable interest due to its significance for understanding biological processes and catalytic C-N bond formation processes. Despite intensive studies in the past decades, there are only limited cases where electron-rich metal centers were commonly employed to achieve the N-O or C-N bond cleavage of the coordinated nitrosobenzene. In this regard, it is significant and challenging to construct a suitable functional system for examining its unique reactivity toward reductive activation of nitrosoarene. Herein, we present a {Fe2S2} functional platform that can activate nitrosobenzene via an unprecedented iron-directed thiolate insertion into the N-O bond to selectively generate a well-defined diiron benzenesulfinamide complex. Furthermore, computational studies support a proposal that in this concerted four-electron reduction process of nitrosobenzene the iron center serves as an important electron shuttle. Notably, compared to the intact bridging nitrosoarene ligand, the benzenesulfinamide moiety has priority to convert into aniline in the presence of separate or combined protons and reductants, which may imply the formation of the sulfinamide species accelerates reduction process of nitrosoarene. The reaction pattern presented here represents a novel activation mode of nitrosobenzene realized by a thiolate-bridged diiron complex.

- Room-temperature copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of arylcadmium iodides with ketoximes
-
We started our study by preparation two ketoximes. Later, there were studies to reveal these ketoximes' effects in the electrophilic amination reaction with organocadmium reagents. Primarily, it was observed that arylcadmium iodides could not be reacted with ketoximes at room temperature in the absence of a catalyst. CuCN was a suitable catalyst for this electrophilic amination reaction of arylcadmium iodides and allowed the preparation of functionalized aniline derivatives in good yields under mild reaction conditions. We obtained the results indicated that the yield of primary arylamines was strongly dependent on the steric and electronic effects of organocadmium reagent and amination agent. In the case of both amination reagents, meta-substituted arylamines were obtained in higher yields than para-substituted arylamines. We observed that acetone O-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)oxime, 1, as an aminating agent, was more successful than acetone O-(2-Naphthylsulfonyl)oxime, 2, in the synthesis of functionalized arylamines by electrophilic amination of corresponding aryl cadmium iodides. In this method, there is no cadmium release to the environment.

- Minimization of Back-Electron Transfer Enables the Elusive sp3 C?H Functionalization of Secondary Anilines

Anilines are some of the most used class of substrates for application in photoinduced electron transfer. N,N-Dialkyl-derivatives enable radical generation α to the N-atom by oxidation followed by deprotonation. This approach is however elusive to monosubstituted anilines owing to fast back-electron transfer (BET). Here we demonstrate that BET can be minimised by using photoredox catalysis in the presence of an exogenous alkylamine. This approach synergistically aids aniline SET oxidation and then accelerates the following deprotonation. In this way, the generation of α-anilinoalkyl radicals is now possible and these species can be used in a general sense to achieve divergent sp3 C?H functionalization.

- Visible-light induced one-pot hydrogenation and amidation of nitroaromatics with carboxylic acids over 2D MXene-derived Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2
-
Pt nanoparticles supported on N doped titanium dioxide/titanium carbide (MXene) heterojunctions were employed as photocatalysts for the tandem reactions between aromatic nitro compounds and carboxylic acids to produce amide products. The 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction was prepared by in situ grew TiO2 on Ti3C2 nanosheets and then N doped TiO2 with melamine, Pt nanoparticles with 3.3 nm mean diameter well dispersed on N-TiO2/Ti3C2. 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 had excellent amidation activity and chemoselectivity under visible-light irradiation. The elevated catalytic performance of 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 was owing to the improvement in photogenerated electron and hole separation efficiency through charge short-range directional transmission caused by the intimate contact between the TiO2 and the conductive Ti3C2. This direct hydrogenation along with amidation between nitroaromatics and carboxylic acids own actual merits in the amides produce with no harmful byproducts. In situ DRIFTS spectra verified that the amidation activation with visible light irradiation at 25 °C was much faster than heating.

- Selective Room-Temperature Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines and Alcohols Catalyzed by a Ruthenium Pincer Complex and Mechanistic Insight
-
We report a room-temperature protocol for the hydrogenation of various amides to produce amines and alcohols. Compared with most previous reports for this transformation, which use high temperatures (typically, 100-200 °C) and H2 pressures (10-100 bar), this system proceeds under extremely mild conditions (RT, 5-10 bar of H2). The hydrogenation is catalyzed by well-defined ruthenium-PNNH pincer complexes (0.5 mol %) with potential dual modes of metal-ligand cooperation. An unusual Ru-amidate complex was formed and crystallographically characterized. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the room-temperature hydrogenation proceeds predominantly via the Ru-N amido/amine metal-ligand cooperation.

We report herein the first Cu catalyzed reduction of azides with B2pin2 (pin = pinacolato) as the reductant under very mild conditions. A series of primary amines and amides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with high chemoselectivity and good functional group tolerance. This reaction can be performed with a cheap copper salt, a simple NHC ligand and a diboron reagent.

- Sustainable Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes to Anilines with Highly Active in-situ Generated Copper Nanoparticles
-
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are usually stabilized by a capping agent, a surfactant, or a support material, to maintain their integrity. However, these strategies can impact their intrinsic catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate that the in-situ formation of copper NPs (Cu0NPs) upon the reduction of the earth-abundant Jacquesdietrichite mineral with ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) can provide an alternative solution for stability issues. During the formation of Cu0NPs, hydrogen gas is released from AB, and utilized for the reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding anilines, at room temperature and under ambient pressure. After the nitroarene-to-aniline conversion is completed, regeneration of the mineral occurs upon the exposure of Cu0NPs to air. Thus, the hydrogenation reaction can be performed multiple times without the loss of the Cu0NPs’ activity. As a proof-of-concept, the hydrogenation of drug molecules “flutamide” and “nimesulide” was also performed and their corresponding amino-compounds were isolated in high selectivity and yield.

- Palladium nanoparticles embedded in mesoporous carbons as efficient, green and reusable catalysts for mild hydrogenations of nitroarenes
-
The reduction of nitroarenes is the most efficient route for the preparation of aromatic primary amines. These reductions are generally performed in the presence of heterogeneous transition metal catalysts, which are rather efficient but long and tedious to prepare. In addition, they contain very expensive metals that are in most cases difficult to reuse. Therefore, the development of efficient, easily accessible and reusable Pd catalysts obtained rapidly from safe and non-toxic starting materials was implemented in this report. Two bottom-up synthesis methods were used, the first consisted in the impregnation of a micro/mesoporous carbon support with a Pd salt solution, followed by thermal reduction (at 300, 450 or 600 °C) while the second involved a direct synthesis based on the co-assembly and pyrolysis (600 °C) of a mixture of a phenolic precursor, glyoxal, a surfactant and a Pd salt. The obtained composites possess Pd nanoparticles (NPs) of tunable sizes (ranging from 1-2 to 7.0 nm) and homogeneously distributed in the carbon framework (pores/walls). It turned out that they were successfully used for mild and environment-friendly hydrogenations of nitroarenes at room temperature under H2(1 atm) in EtOH in the presence of only 5 mequiv. of supported Pd. The determinations of the optimal characteristics of the catalysts constituted a second objective of this study. It was found that the activity of the catalysts was strongly dependent on the Pd NPs sizes,i.e., catalysts bearing small Pd NPs (1.2 nm obtained at 300 °C and 3.4 nm obtained at 450 °C) exhibited an excellent activity, while those containing larger Pd NPs (6.4 nm and 7.0 nm obtained at 600 °C, either by indirect or direct methods) were not active. Moreover, the possibility to reuse the catalysts was shown to be dependent on the surface chemistry of the Pd NPs: the smallest Pd NPs are prone to oxidation by air and their surface was gradually covered by a PdO shell decreasing their activity during reuse. A good compromise between intrinsic catalytic activity (i.e. during first use) and possibility of reuse was found in the catalyst made by impregnation followed by reduction at 450 °C since the hydrogenation could be performed in only 2 h in EtOH or even in water. The catalyst was quantitatively recovered after reaction by filtration, used at least 7 times with no loss of efficiency. Advantageously, almost Pd-free primary aromatic amines were obtained since the Pd leaching was very low (0.1% of the introduced amount). Compared to numerous reports from the literature, the catalysts described here were both easily accessible from eco-friendly precursors and very active for hydrogenations under mild and “green” reaction conditions.

- Commercially Available CuO Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Using Ammonia Borane as a Hydrogen Source
-
Tandem ammonia borane dehydrogenation and nitroarenes hydrogenation has been reported as a novel strategy for the preparation of aromatic amines. However, the practical application of this strategy is subjected to the high-cost and tedious preparation of supported noble metal nanocatalysts. The commercially available CuO powder is herein demonstrated to be a robust catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes using ammonia borane as a hydrogen source under mild conditions. Numerous amines (even sterically hindered, halogenated, and diamines) could be obtained through this method. This monometallic catalyst is characteristic of support-free, excellent chemoselectivity, low-cost, and high recyclability, which will favor its future utilization in preparative reduction chemistry. Mechanistic studies are also carried out to clarify that diazene and azoxybenzene are key intermediates of this heterogeneous reduction.

- Pd Nanoparticles Assembled on Metalporphyrin-Based Microporous Organic Polymer as Efficient Catalyst for Tandem Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane and Hydrogenation of Nitro Compounds
-
Abstract: Metalporphyrin-based porous polymers supporting high dispersed Pd nanoparticle (NP) catalysts (HUST-1-Pd) were prepared with a novel solvent-knitting hyper-crosslinked polymer method using 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) as building blocks. The N2 sorption isotherms of the catalysts show that the HUST-1-Pd possesses many ultra-micropores and continuous mesopores. The NPs are assembled on tetraphenylporphyrin structures and show Pd-N4 composition-dependent catalysis for methanolysis of ammonia borane (AB) and hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds to primary amines in methanol solutions at room temperature. The nano-palladium reduced by NaBH4 has efficient catalytic activity for AB methanolysis. A variety of R-NO2 derivatives were reduced selectively into R-NH2 via palladium catalyzed tandem reactions with 5–30?min of reaction time with conversion yields reaching up to 90%. The derivatives also give excellent recycling performance (more than 10 times). Furthermore, the turnover frequency (TOF) can reach 87,209?h?1. The HUST-1-Pd compounds represent a unique metal catalyst for hydrogenation reactions in a green environment without using pure hydrogen. Graphic Abstract: A monodisperse Pd NPs embed in porphyrin-based microporous organic polymer was reported to catalyse the tandem dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and hydrogenation of R-NO2 to R-NH2 at room temperature. The catalyst is efficient and reusable in an environment-friendly process with short reaction times and high yields.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Discovery and characterization of an acridine radical photoreductant
-
Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) is a phenomenon whereby the absorption of light by a chemical species provides an energetic driving force for an electron-transfer reaction1–4. This mechanism is relevant in many areas of chemistry, including the study of natural and artificial photosynthesis, photovoltaics and photosensitive materials. In recent years, research in the area of photoredox catalysis has enabled the use of PET for the catalytic generation of both neutral and charged organic free-radical species. These technologies have enabled previously inaccessible chemical transformations and have been widely used in both academic and industrial settings. Such reactions are often catalysed by visible-light-absorbing organic molecules or transition-metal complexes of ruthenium, iridium, chromium or copper5,6. Although various closed-shell organic molecules have been shown to behave as competent electron-transfer catalysts in photoredox reactions, there are only limited reports of PET reactions involving neutral organic radicals as excited-state donors or acceptors. This is unsurprising because the lifetimes of doublet excited states of neutral organic radicals are typically several orders of magnitude shorter than the singlet lifetimes of known transition-metal photoredox catalysts7–11. Here we document the discovery, characterization and reactivity of a neutral acridine radical with a maximum excited-state oxidation potential of ?3.36 volts versus a saturated calomel electrode, which is similarly reducing to elemental lithium, making this radical one of the most potent chemical reductants reported12. Spectroscopic, computational and chemical studies indicate that the formation of a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer species enables the population of higher-energy doublet excited states, leading to the observed potent photoreducing behaviour. We demonstrate that this catalytically generated PET catalyst facilitates several chemical reactions that typically require alkali metal reductants and can be used in other organic transformations that require dissolving metal reductants.

- Ru-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Transfer Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines with Formic Acid/Triethylamine
-
A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed deoxygenative transfer hydrogenation of amides to amines using HCO2H/NEt3 as the reducing agent is reported for the first time. The catalyst system consisting of [Ru(2-methylallyl)2(COD)], 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) ethane (triphos) and Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) (HNTf2) performed well for deoxygenative reduction of various secondary and tertiary amides into the corresponding amines in high yields with excellent selectivities, and exhibits high tolerance toward functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive. The choice of hydrogen source and acid co-catalyst is critical for catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reductive amination of the in situ generated alcohol and amine via borrowing hydrogen is the dominant pathway. (Figure presented.).

- Palladium doping of In2O3 towards a general and selective catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines and alcohols
-
Herein, the first general heterogeneous catalytic protocol for the hydrogenation of primary, secondary and tertiary amides to their corresponding amines and alcohols is described. Advantageously, this catalytic protocol works under additive-free conditions and is compatible with the presence of aromatic rings, which are fully retained in the final products. This hydrogenative C-N bond cleavage methodology is catalyzed by a Pd-doped In2O3 catalyst prepared by a microwave hydrothermal-assisted method followed by calcination. This catalyst displays highly dispersed Pd2+ ionic species in the oxide matrix of In2O3 that have appeared to be essential for its high catalytic performance.

-
A non-hazardous and relatively mild protocol was formulated for an effectual hydrogen generation process via a "magnesium-activated water" system with a Pd-g-C3N4 photocatalyst under visible light at room temperature. Water functions photochemically as a hydrogen donor without any external source with the Pd-g-C3N4 photocatalyst. The synthesized Pd-g-C3N4 photocatalyst is highly efficient under visible light for the selective reduction of a wide range of unsaturated derivatives and nitro compounds to afford excellent yields (>99%). The photocatalyst Pd-g-C3N4 could be easily recovered and reused for several runs without any deactivation during the photochemical hydrogen transfer reaction process.

- Selective Reduction of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Sustainable and Reusable DNA-supported Nickel Nanoparticles in Water at Room Temperature
-
Abstract: In this research, a novel, biodegradable and environmentally friendly catalyst composed of nickel nanoparticles supported on DNA was prepared and fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The catalyst exhibited remarkable catalytic activity and chemoselectivity for the reduction of various substituted nitroarenes with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as the source of inexpensive hydride in water at room temperature. High turnover frequency and selectivity were observed for the reduction of all tested substrates. Interestingly, the catalyst could be recovered conveniently for multiple recycling reactions with sustained activity. Furthermore, nearly no nickel species was leached out from the catalyst during the course of reaction, proving the true heterogeneity in the present catalytic protocol. Graphical Abstract: The reduction of various nitroaromatic compounds into their corresponding amines is achieved by DNA supported nickel nanoparticles with the sodium borohydride as the reducing agent in water at room temperature.

- Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Single-Phase Pyrite FeS2 Nanoparticles on N,S-Codoped Porous Carbon
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes is an industrially very important and environmentally friendly process for the production of anilines; however, highly chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes decorated with one or more reducible groups in a nitroarene molecule remains a challenge. Herein, a novel hybrid non-noble iron-based nanocatalyst (named as FeS2/NSC) was developed, which was prepared from biomass as C and N source together with inexpensive Fe(NO3)3 as Fe source through high-temperature pyrolysis in a straightforward and cost-effective procedure. Comprehensive characterization revealed that single-phase pyrite FeS2 nanoparticles with precisely defined composition and uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on N,S-codoped porous carbon with large specific surface area, hierarchical porous channels, and high pore volume. The resultant catalyst FeS2/NSC demonstrated good catalytic activity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with good tolerance of various functional groups in water as a sustainable and green solvent. Compared with bulk pyrite FeS2 and other non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, a remarkably enhanced activity was observed under mild reaction conditions. More importantly, FeS2/NSC displayed exclusive chemoselectivity for the reduction of nitro groups for nitroarenes bearing varying readily reducible groups.

- Superfine CoNi alloy embedded in Al2O3 nanosheets for efficient tandem catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds by ammonia borane
-
Aromatic amino compounds are important and universally used chemical intermediates in a wide range of industrial fields. Thus, their production with high efficiency and selectivity under ambient conditions is expected and demanded in modern industry. Herein, a series of superfine CoNi alloy nanoparticles embedded in Al2O3 nanosheet (CoxNi1-x/Al2O3, where x represents the content of Co in the precursor) catalysts was fabricated from CoNiAl-LDH and used to catalyze the tandem dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) and hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to the corresponding amines. Systematic experiments indicate that the composition, size, morphology and catalytic performance of the CoxNi1-x/Al2O3 catalysts can be easily controlled by changing the content of Ni in the CoNiAl-LDH precursor. Particularly, Co0.67Ni0.33/Al2O3 exhibited the best tandem catalytic performance among the six samples. This as-prepared catalyst not only showed a moderate turn-over-frequency value (TOF: 34.5 molH2 molCo0.67Ni0.33-1 min-1 at 298 K without base or additives) and relatively low activation energy (32.4 kJ mol-1) for the dehydrogenation of AB, but also superior catalytic activity (conversion yield reaching up to 100%) and selectivity (>99%) for the tandem reductive transformation of in excess of sixteen types of nitroaromatics to aromatic amines. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the construction of the CoNi alloy optimized the electronic structure with respect to the pure component, promoting its activity for AB hydrolysis and nitroaromatics hydrogenation. Finally, the catalyst could be easily recycled using a magnet due to the magnetic properties of the Co0.67Ni0.33 alloy.

- Green reusable Pd nanoparticles embedded in phytochemical resins for mild hydrogenations of nitroarenes
-
A green chemical preparation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in phytochemical resins using a plant extract from Pulicaria odora L. and PdCl2 under ambiant conditions is reported. Two batches of Pd NPs have been prepared: they present homogeneous sizes of respectively 2.2 nm and 3.2 nm depending on the preparation conditions. The Pd NPs were characterized by different techniques (TEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS and BET) and have been successfully used for the reduction of nitroarenes in EtOH under H2 at atmospheric pressure at rt in the presence of only 5 mequiv. of Pd. Finally the Pd NPs embedded in resin particles were easily recovered by filtration and used at least seven times without significant loss in efficiency. The residual amount of palladium found in the reaction product is very low (0.6% of the initial amount). Therefore both preparation of the Pd NPs and their use for hydrogenations of nitroarenes are environmentally benign.
