Hydrolysis of amides to carboxylic acids catalyzed by Nb2O5
Hydrolysis of amides to carboxylic acids is an industrially important reaction but is challenging due to the difficulty of cleaving the resonance stabilized amidic C-N bond. Twenty-three heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts were examined in the hydrolysis of acetamide. Results showed that Nb2O5was the most effective heterogeneous catalyst with the greatest yield of acetic acid. A series of Nb2O5catalysts calcined at various temperatures were characterized and tested in the hydrolysis of acetamide to determine the effects of crystal phase and surface properties of Nb2O5on catalytic performance. The high catalytic performance observed was attributed mainly to the facile activation of the carbonyl bond by Lewis acid sites that function even in the presence of basic inhibitors (NH3and H2O). The catalytic studies showed the synthetic advantages of the present method, such as simple operation, catalyst recyclability, additive free, solvent free, and wide substrate scope (>40 examples; up to 95% isolated yield).

Photo-induced deep aerobic oxidation of alkyl aromatics
Oxidation is a major chemical process to produce oxygenated chemicals in both nature and the chemical industry. Presently, the industrial manufacture of benzoic acids and benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) is mainly based on the deep oxidation of polyalkyl benzene, which is somewhat suffering from environmental and economical disadvantage due to the formation of ozone-depleting MeBr and corrosion hazards of production equipment. In this report, photo-induced deep aerobic oxidation of (poly)alkyl benzene to benzene (poly)carboxylic acids was developed. CeCl3 was proved to be an efficient HAT (hydrogen atom transfer) catalyst in the presence of alcohol as both hydrogen and electron shuttle. Dioxygen (O2) was found as a sole terminal oxidant. In most cases, pure products were easily isolated by simple filtration, implying large-scale implementation advantages. The reaction provides an ideal protocol to produce valuable fine chemicals from naturally abundant petroleum feedstocks. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Photoinduced FeCl3-Catalyzed Alkyl Aromatics Oxidation toward Degradation of Polystyrene at Room Temperature?
While polystyrene is widely used in daily life as a synthetic plastic, the subsequently selective degradation is still very challenging and highly required. Herein, we disclose a highly practical and selective reaction for the catalytically efficient oxidation of alkyl aromatics (including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl aromatics) to carboxylic acids. While dioxygen was used as the sole terminal oxidant, this protocol was catalyzed by the inexpensive and readily available ferric compound (FeCl3) with irradiation of visible light (blue LEDs) under only 1 atmosphere of O2 at room temperature. This system could further facilitate the selective degradation of polystyrene to benzoic acid, providing an important and practical tool to generate high-value chemical from abundant polystyrene wastes.

Meso-Carbazole substituted palladium porphyrins: Efficient catalysts for visible light induced oxidation of aldehydes
The A3B and A2B2 type porphyrins having N-butylcarbazole and p-cyanophenyl groups are synthesized and characterized. Their palladium complexes have also been prepared and utilized as catalysts for the photo-oxidation reactions of aromatic aldehydes in good yields. Pd(II)porphyrins displayed decent phosphorescence at a670 nm and were able to generate singlet oxygen upon light irradiation. The calculated singlet oxygen quantum yields for Pd(II)porphyrins were between 57% and 73%. The photo-catalytic application of Pd(II)porphyrins for aerobic oxidation of aromatic aldehydes is demonstrated.

Selective oxidation of alkenes to carbonyls under mild conditions
Herein, a practical and sustainable method for the synthesis of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from an inexpensive olefinic feedstock is described. This transformation features very sustainable and mild conditions and utilizes commercially available and inexpensive tetrahydrofuran as the additive, molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and water as the solvent. A wide range of substituted alkenes were found to be compatible, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds in moderate-to-good yields. The control experiments demonstrated that a radical mechanism is responsible for the oxidation reaction.

Oxidative α-C-C Bond Cleavage of 2° and 3° Alcohols to Aromatic Acids with O2at Room Temperature via Iron Photocatalysis
The selective α-C-C bond cleavage of unfunctionalized secondary (2°) and tertiary alcohols (3°) is essential for valorization of macromolecules and biopolymers. We developed a blue-light-driven iron catalysis for aerobic oxidation of 2° and 3° alcohols to acids via α-C-C bond cleavages at room temperature. The first example of oxygenation of the simple tertiary alcohols was reported. The iron catalyst and blue light play critical roles to enable the formation of highly reactive O radicals from alcohols and the consequent two α-C-C bond cleavages.

Cobalt-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl and vinyl chlorides with CO2
The transition-metal-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl and vinyl chlorides with CO2 is rarely studied, and has been achieved only with a Ni catalyst or combination of palladium and photoredox. In this work, the cobalt-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl and vinyl chlorides and bromides with CO2 has been developed. These transformations proceed under mild conditions and exhibit a broad substrate scope, affording the corresponding carboxylic acids in good to high yields.

Light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate-mediated selective oxidation of C-H bonds
Visible light-induced organic reactions are important chemical transformations in organic chemistry, and their efficiency highly depends on suitable photocatalysts. However, the commonly used photocatalysts are precious transition-metal complexes and elaborate organic dyes, which hamper large-scale production due to high cost. Here, for the first time, we report a novel strategy: light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate-mediated selective oxidation of C-H bonds, allowing high-value-added aromatic ketones and carboxylic acids to be easily prepared in high-to-excellent yields using readily available alkyl arenes, methyl arenes and aldehydes as materials. The mechanistic investigations showed that the treatment of inexpensive and readily available sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate with oxygen under irradiation of light could in situ form a pentacoordinate sulfide intermediate as an efficient photosensitizer. The method represents a highly efficient, economical and environmentally friendly strategy, and the light and oxygen-enabled sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate photocatalytic system represents a breakthrough in photochemistry.

A Woven Supramolecular Metal-Organic Framework Comprising a Ruthenium Bis(terpyridine) Complex and Cucurbit[8]uril: Enhanced Catalytic Activity toward Alcohol Oxidation
The self-assembly of a diamondoid woven supramolecular metal–organic framework wSMOF-1 has been achieved from intertwined [Ru(tpy)2]2+ (tpy=2,2′,6′,2′′-terpyridine) complex M1 and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) in water, where the intermolecular dimers formed by the appended aromatic arms of M1 are encapsulated in CB[8]. wSMOF-1 exhibits ordered pore periodicity in both water and the solid state, as confirmed by a combination of 1H NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption, isothermal titration calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, small angle X-ray scattering and selected area electron diffraction experiments. The woven framework has a pore aperture of 2.1 nm, which allows for the free access of both secondary and primary alcohols and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Compared with the control molecule [Ru(tpy)2]Cl2, the [Ru(tpy)2]2+ unit of wSMOF-1 exhibits a remarkably higher heterogeneous catalysis activity for the oxidation of alcohols by TBHP in n-hexane. For the oxidation of 1-phenylethan-1-ol, the yield of acetophenone was increased from 10 percent to 95 percent.

Nickel-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl iodides with lithium formate through catalytic CO recycling
A protocol for the Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl iodides with formate has been developed with good functional group compatibility for the synthesis of a variety of aromatic carboxylic acids under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates other functionalities for cross-coupling, such as aryl bromide, aryl chloride, aryl tosylate, and aryl pinacol boronate. The reaction proceeds through a carbonylation process with in situ generated carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic anhydride and lithium formate, avoiding the use of gaseous CO. The strategy of CO recycling in catalytic amounts is critical for the success of the reaction.

Nanosheet-assembled microflower-like coordination polymers by surfactant-assisted assembly with enhanced catalytic activity
Tuning the morphology and size of coordination polymers (CPs) is an effective strategy to enable crystalline materials for desired applications. Herein, two CPs, named [Cd2(DBTP)(H2O)2]n (1) and {[Zn2(DBTP)(H2O)]·2.5H2O}n (2), were prepared by employing a rigid V-shaped and multidentate N-heterocyclic ligand 2,6-di(1H,2′H-[3,3′-bi(1,2,4-triazol)]-5′-yl)pyridine (H4DBTP) under solvothermal conditions. Their crystal morphologies and sizes were controlled by varying the type and the amount of surfactants. The morphology can be changed from bulk blocks to microflower-like hierarchical spheres assembled by nanosheets and the mean size of the microflowers is approximately 2 μm. Nanoscale 1a and 2a were further evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion reactions of nitromethylbenzenes into benzoic acids. The results showed that nanoscale 2a is a more efficient catalyst than nanoscale 1a and their corresponding bulk counterparts.

A cyclometalated Ir(iii)-NHC complex as a recyclable catalyst for acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols to carboxylic acids
In this work, we have synthesized two new [C, C] cyclometalated Ir(iii)-NHC complexes, [IrCp?(C∧C:NHC)Br](1a,b), [Cp? = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; NHC = (2-flurobenzyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazoline-2-ylidene (a); (2-flurobenzyl)-1-(4-formylphenyl)-1H-imidazoline-2-ylidene (b)] via intramolecular C-H bond activation. The molecular structure of complex 1a was determined by X-ray single crystal analysis. The catalytic potentials of the complexes were explored for acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols to carboxylic acids with concomitant hydrogen gas evolution. Under similar experimental conditions, complex 1a was found to be slightly more efficient than complex 1b. Using 0.1 mol% of complex 1a, good-to-excellent yields of carboxylic acids/carboxylates have been obtained for a wide range of alcohols, both aliphatic and aromatic, including those involving heterocycles, in a short reaction time with a low loading of catalyst. Remarkably, our method can produce benzoic acid from benzyl alcohol on a gram scale with a catalyst-to-substrate ratio as low as 1?:?5000 and exhibit a TON of 4550. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recycled at least three times without losing its activity. A mechanism has been proposed based on controlled experiments and in situ NMR study.

4,5-Diaryl 3(2H)Furanones: Anti-inflammatory activity and influence on cancer growth
Apart from their anti-inflammatory action, COX inhibitors have gathered the interest of many scientists due to their potential use for the treatment and prevention of cancer. It has been shown that cyclooxygenase inhibitors restrict cancer cell growth and are able to interact with known antitumor drugs, enhancing their in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity. The permutation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic aryl groups in COX inhibitors leads to cardinal changes in the biological activity of the compounds. In the present study, thirteen heterocyclic coxib-like 4,5-diarylfuran-3(2H)-ones and their annelated derivatives-phenanthro[9,10-b]furan-3-ones-were synthesized and studied for anti-inflammatory and COX-1/2 inhibitory action and for their cytotoxic activity on the breast cancer (MCF-7) and squamous cell carcinoma (HSC-3) cell lines. The F-derivative of the -SOMe substituted furan-3(2H)-ones exhibited the best activity (COX-1 IC50 = 2.8 μM, anti-inflammatory activity (by carrageenan paw edema model) of 54% (dose 0.01 mmol/kg), and MCF-7 and HSC-3 cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 10 μM and 7.5 μM, respectively). A cytotoxic effect related to the COX-1 inhibitory action was observed and a synergistic effect with the anti-neoplastic drugs gefitinib and 5-fluorouracil was found. A phenanthrene derivative exhibited the best synergistic effect with gefitinib.

Reactivity control of a photocatalytic system by changing the light intensity
We report a novel light-intensity dependent reactivity approach allowing us to selectively switch between triplet energy transfer and electron transfer reactions, or to regulate the redox potential available for challenging reductions. Simply by adjusting the light power density with an inexpensive lens while keeping all other parameters constant, we achieved control over one- and two-photon mechanisms, and successfully exploited our approach for lab-scale photoreactions using three substrate classes with excellent selectivities and good product yields. Specifically, our proof-of-concept study demonstrates that the irradiation intensity can be used to control (i) the available photoredox reactivity for reductive dehalogenations to selectively target either bromo- or chloro-substituted arenes, (ii) the photochemical cis-trans isomerization of olefins versus their photoreduction, and (iii) the competition between hydrogen atom abstraction and radical dimerization processes.

Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidative Selective C-C Bond Cleavage in Heteroaryl-Containing Primary and Secondary Alcohols
A transition-metal-free aerobic oxidative selective C-C bond-cleavage reaction in primary and secondary heteroaryl alcohols is reported. This reaction was highly efficient and tolerated various heteroaryl alcohols, generating a carboxylic acid derivative and a neutral heteroaromatic compound. Experimental studies combined with density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism underlying the selective C-C bond cleavage. This strategy also provides an alternative simple approach to carboxylation reaction.

Surfactant-assisted assembly of nanoscale zinc coordination compounds to enhance tandem conversion reactions in water
Precise control over the morphology and size of coordination polymers (CPs) is crucial for extending these inorganic-organic materials to many advanced applications, in particular for heterogeneous catalysis. In this work, two Zn-based CPs, {[Zn3(idbt)2(4,4′-dmbpy)2]·H2O}n (1) and {[Zn3(idbt)2(H2O)3]·H2O}n (2) (H3idbt = 5,5′-(1H-imidazole-4,5-diyl)-bis-(2H-tetrazole), 4,4′-dmbpy = 4,4′′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), were synthesized through solvothermal reactions. The morphologies and particle sizes of 1 and 2 could be controlled from large scale to nanoscale by regulating the amount of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Furthermore, for the conversion reactions of nitromethylbenzenes into benzoic acids, the catalytic properties of nanoscale 1 and 2 were much more efficient than those of large size of 1 and 2, because of the benefit of readily accessible active sites in the nanoscale sized particles, which provide a tunable and functionalizable platform for the conversion reaction by minimizing the diffusion distance but do little for the selectivity.

Dehydrogenation of Alcohols to Carboxylic Acid Catalyzed by in Situ-Generated Facial Ruthenium- CPP Complex
A selective catalytic system for the dehydrogenation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids using a facial ruthenium complex generated in situ from the [Ru(COD)Cl2]n and a hybrid N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-phosphine-phosphine ligand (CPP) has been first reported. The facial coordination model was unveiled by NMR analysis of the reaction mixture. Such a fac-ruthenium catalyst system exhibited high catalytic activity and stability, and a high turnover number of 20 000 could be achieved with catalyst loading as low as 0.002 mol %. The exceedingly high catalyst stability was tentatively attributed to both the anchoring role of NHC and the hemi-lability of phosphines. The catalytic system also features a wide substrate scope. In particular, the facial coordination of CPP ligands was found to be beneficial for sterically hindered alcohols, and ortho-substituted benzylic alcohols and bulky adamantanyl methanol as well as cholesterol were all found to be viable dehydrogenation substrates.

Bidentate Ru(ii)-NC complexes as catalysts for the dehydrogenative reaction from primary alcohols to carboxylic acids
Four Ru(ii)-NC complexes were synthesized by one-step processes from the corresponding NC ligands with RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3. These complexes were tested as catalysts for alcohol dehydrogenative reactions, and complex {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (1) showed the highest activity. With KOH as the nucleophile and 0.5 mol% catalyst loading, a series of carboxylic acids were synthesized in toluene without any oxidant. Catalyst 1 could be transformed to complex {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}RuH(CO)(PPh3)2 (6) when treated with KOH and benzyl alcohol. Complex 6 further reacted with PhCHO and H2O to generate product {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}Ru(OCOPh)(CO)(PPh3)2 (7). Complexes 6 and 7 exhibited similar efficiency to complex 1, suggesting that they can be regarded as the catalytic intermediates of 1.

The Cu(I)- and HNO3-catalyzed oxidation of substituted toluenes to the benzoic acid based on NOx recycling
Based on the recycling of NOx, the Cu(I)- and HNO3-catalyzed oxidation of 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)toluene to 2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid has been developed with an excellent yield of 84.2% and a purity of 99.7%. The optimized reaction conditions (160?°C, oxygen pressure 1.5?MPa, HNO3 concentration 25?wt%, HNO3: substrate 0.5:1) use 1.0?mol% CuI as catalyst. The dosage of HNO3 in the new process is only 25% of the stoichiometric amount and 12.5% of the amount of the traditional process. The NOx emission is 5% amount of the traditional process. The oxidation of several additional toluene derivatives with comparable yields demonstrates the generality to these reaction conditions.

Dry Chemistry of Ferrate(VI): A Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Way for Versatile Green Oxidation
The +6 oxidation state of iron generally exists in the form of ferrate(VI) with high redox potential and environmentally friendly nature. Although ferrate(VI) has been known for over a century, its chemistry is still limited to the solvent-based reactions that suffers from the insolubility/instability of this oxidant and the environmental issues caused by hazardous solvents. Herein, we explore the solvent-free reactivity of ferrate(VI) under mechanical milling, revealing that its strong oxidizing power is accessible in the “dry” solid state towards a broad variety of substrates, for example, aromatic alcohols/aldehydes and carbon nanotubes. More significantly, solvent-free mechanochemistry also reshapes the oxidizing ability of ferrate(VI) due to the underlying solvent-free effect and the promotive mechanical actions. This study opens up a new chemistry of ferrate(VI) with promising application in green oxidative transformation of both organic and inorganic substrates.

A biocatalytic method for the chemoselective aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids
Herein, we present a study on the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using three recombinant aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The ALDHs were used in purified form with a nicotinamide oxidase (NOx), which recycles the catalytic NAD+ at the expense of dioxygen (air at atmospheric pressure). The reaction was studied also with lyophilised whole cell as well as resting cell biocatalysts for more convenient practical application. The optimised biocatalytic oxidation runs in phosphate buffer at pH 8.5 and at 40 °C. From a set of sixty-one aliphatic, aryl-Aliphatic, benzylic, hetero-Aromatic and bicyclic aldehydes, fifty were converted with elevated yield (up to >99%). The exceptions were a few ortho-substituted benzaldehydes, bicyclic heteroaromatic aldehydes and 2-phenylpropanal. In all cases, the expected carboxylic acid was shown to be the only product (>99% chemoselectivity). Other oxidisable functionalities within the same molecule (e.g. hydroxyl, alkene, and heteroaromatic nitrogen or sulphur atoms) remained untouched. The reaction was scaled for the oxidation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (2 g), a bio-based starting material, to afford 5-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid in 61% isolated yield. The new biocatalytic method avoids the use of toxic or unsafe oxidants, strong acids or bases, or undesired solvents. It shows applicability across a wide range of substrates, and retains perfect chemoselectivity. Alternative oxidisable groups were not converted, and other classical side-reactions (e.g. halogenation of unsaturated functionalities, Dakin-Type oxidation) did not occur. In comparison to other established enzymatic methods such as the use of oxidases (where the concomitant oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is common), ALDHs offer greatly improved selectivity.

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.

Herein we demonstrate simply that the addition of Pd(OAc)2 as a promotor switches the reactivity of a commonly used base NaH to a nucleophilic reductant. The reactivity is engineered into a palladium-catalyzed reductive debenzylation and deallylation of aryl ethers and esters. This operationally simple, mild protocol displays a broad substrate scope and a broad spectrum of functional group tolerance (>50 examples) and high chemoselectivity toward aryl ethers over aliphatic structures. Moreover, the dual reactivity of NaH as a base and a reductant is demonstrated in efficient synthetic elaboration.

Aerobic Oxidation of Diverse Primary Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids with a Heterogeneous Pd-Bi-Te/C (PBT/C) Catalyst
Heterogeneous catalytic aerobic oxidation methods represent a near-ideal approach for the conversion of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. Here, we report that a heterogeneous catalyst composed of Pd, Bi, and Te supported on activated carbon is highly effective for the oxidation of diverse benzylic and aliphatic primary alcohols, including 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and substrates bearing heterocycles and other important functional groups. In many cases, the desired carboxylic acid product is obtained in >90% yield. Additionally, the catalyst has been demonstrated in a continuous-flow packed-bed reactor for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, achieving near-quantitative yield while undergoing over 30 000 turnovers.

Combined production method for substituted benzaldehyde, substituted benzyl alcohol and substituted benzoic acid
The invention discloses a combined production method for substituted benzaldehyde, substituted benzyl alcohol and substituted benzoic acid. The method comprises the following steps: (1) oxidation: a step of continuously introducing substituted toluene, a catalyst and oxygen-contained gas into an oxidation reactor and carrying out reaction so as to obtain oxidation reaction liquid; (2) hydrolyzation: a step of allowing the oxidation reaction liquid to continuously enter a hydrolysis reactor, and continuously adding water into the hydrolysis reactor and carrying out reaction so as to obtain a hydrolysis reaction mixture; (3) liquid-liquid layering: a step of layering the hydrolysis reaction mixture so as to obtain an oil phase and an aqueous phase; and (4) separation of products: a step of subjecting the oil phase to distillation so as to respectively obtain incompletely-reacted substituted toluene, substituted benzyl alcohol and substituted benzaldehyde, and subjecting the aqueous phase to cooling, crystallizing and filtering so as to obtain filtrate and substituted benzoic acid. The combined production method provided by the invention has the advantages of high raw material conversion rate, few by-products, good selectivity of target products, greenness and environmental protection.

Direct Carboxylation of Aryl Tosylates by CO2 Catalyzed by in situ-Generated Ni0
A novel Ni0-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl tosylates with carbon dioxide has been achieved under moderate temperatures and atmospheric pressure. In this procedure, the active Ni0 species is generated in situ by simply mixing the Ni0 precatalyst [NiBr2(bipy)] with an excess of manganese metal. This approach requires neither a glove-box nor the tedious preparation of sophisticated intermediate organometallic derivatives. This mild, convenient, and user-friendly process is successfully applied to the valorization of carbon dioxide and the synthesis of versatile reactants with broad tolerance of substituents.

Silatrane as a Practical and Selective Reagent for the Reduction of Aryl Aldehydes to Benzylic Alcohols
Hydrosilanes are cheap, readily available substrates, yet they do not see as extensive use for simple carbonyl reductions as borohydrides. Hydrosilane reducing agents broadly fall into one of two general categories: either a) they are easy to handle and require expensive and/or hazardous additives, or b) they are difficult and/or dangerous to handle. This work details the discovery of mild and functional group compatible conditions utilizing hydrosilatrane for the selective reduction of aryl aldehydes to benzylic alcohols without unwanted formation of ethers or deoxygenated products. This method offers significant advances in silane reductions as silatrane is an air- and moisture-stable yet relatively reactive reducing agent that can be used in benchtop open air reactions.

Electrophilicity and nucleophilicity of commonly used aldehydes
The present approach for determining the electrophilicity (E) and nucleophilicity (N) of aldehydes includes a kinetic study of KMNO4 oxidation and NaBH4 reduction of aldehydes. A transition state analysis of the KMNO4 promoted aldehyde oxidation reaction has been performed, which shows a very good correlation with experimental results. The validity of the experimental method has been tested using the experimental activation parameters of the two reactions. The utility of the present approach is further demonstrated by the theoretical versus experimental relationship, which provides easy access to E and N values for various aldehydes and offers an at-a-glance assessment of the chemical reactivity of aldehydes in various reactions. the Partner Organisations 2014.

Is carbon dioxide able to activate halogen/lithium exchange?
The unexpected effect of carbon dioxide on halogen-lithium exchange (HLE) reactions of selected haloarenes with tBuLi was investigated. In an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent (pentane), the HLE does not occur at ca. -70 C but, surprisingly, pouring the mixture of reactants onto dry ice and subsequent aqueous acidic hydrolysis gave carboxylic acids resulting from the quench of the first-formed aryllithiums with carbon dioxide. This suggests that CO 2 acts as a promoter of the HLE and, subsequently, serves as an electrophile to trap the aryllithium intermediates that are generated in situ. Theoretical DFT calculations were used to develop a plausible mechanism for the reaction, which indicates that CO2 is a much weaker donor than tetrahydrofuran (THF) so the cleavage of inert tBuLi cubic tetramers into more reactive solvated dimeric species (tBuLi)2(CO2) 4 is disfavored by 42.8 kJ per mol of (tBuLi)4. It is possible that this deaggregation process occurs to some extent when a large excess of CO2 is used. Copyright

Efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes and diols with tert-butylhydroperoxide under transition metal-free conditions
An efficient, mild, and simple protocol is presented for the oxidation of aldehydes and diols to carboxylic acids utilizing 70% aq TBHP as oxidant and t-BuOK as additive. The oxidation of aldehydes could be achieved by two methods under aqueous medium. Excellent yields of products were obtained in short reaction times. Notably, the products were isolated by simple filtration technique and do not involve chromatographic separation. These reactions may prove to be valuable alternatives to traditional metal-mediated oxidations. Oxidation does not require any transition metals or organic solvents in reaction, making this protocol green.
