- Ni-NiO heterojunctions: a versatile nanocatalyst for regioselective halogenation and oxidative esterification of aromatics
-
Herein, we report a facile method for the synthesis of Ni-NiO heterojunction nanoparticles, which we utilized for the nuclear halogenation reaction of phenol and substituted phenols usingN-bromosuccinimide (NBS). A remarkablepara-selectivity was achieved for the halogenated products under semi-aqueous conditions. Interestingly, blocking of thepara-position of phenol offeredortho-selective halogenation. In addition, the Ni-NiO nanoparticles catalyzed the oxidative esterification of carbonyl compounds with alcohol, diol or dithiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of NBS. It was observed that the aromatic carbonyls substituted with an electron-donating group favoured nuclear halogenation, whereas an electron-withdrawing group substitution in carbonyl compounds facilitated the oxidation reaction. In addition, the catalyst was magnetically separated and recycled 10 times. The tuned electronic structure at the Ni-NiO heterojunction controlled selectivity and activity as no suchpara-selectivity was observed with commercially available NiO or Ni nanoparticles.

- 8-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline-modified H4SiW12O40: A reusable heterogeneous catalyst for acetal/ketal formation
-
A heteropoly acid based organic hybrid heterogeneous catalyst, HMQ-STW, was prepared by combining 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (HMQ) with Keggin-structured H4SiW12O40 (STW). The catalyst was characterized via elemental analysis, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and potentiometric titration analysis. The catalytic performance of the catalyst was assessed in the ketalization of ketones with glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. Various reaction parameters, such as the glycol to cyclohexanone molar ratio, catalyst dosage, reaction temperature and time, were systematically examined. HMQ-STW exhibited a relatively high yield of corresponding ketal, with 100% selectivity under the optimized reaction conditions. Moreover, catalytic recycling tests demonstrated that the heterogeneous catalyst exhibited high potential for reusability, and it was revealed that the organic modifier HMQ plays an important role in the formation of a heterogeneous system and the improvement of structural stability. These results indicated that the HMQ-STW catalyst is a promising new type of heterogeneous acid catalyst for the ketalization of ketones.

- Non-acid catalytic acetalisation of aldehydes with diols in ionic liquids
-
The acetalisation of aldehydes with diols to corresponding 1,3-dioxolanes has been accomplished using ionic liquids as catalyst and reaction media. In the reaction process the removal of water produced and other catalysts were not necessary. High conversion and good selectivity were obtained when using HMImBF4, which could be easily recycled and reused.
