- Aerobic Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles with Grubbs Catalyst: Its Application to Assisted-Tandem Catalysis to Construct N-Containing Fused Heteroarenes
-
An aerobic dehydrogenation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles catalyzed by Grubbs catalyst is developed. The reaction is applicable to various nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The exceptionally high functional group compatibility of this method was confirmed by the oxidation of an unprotected dihydroindolactam V to indolactam V. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the oxygen-mediated structural change of the Grubbs catalyst, we integrated ring-closing metathesis and subsequent aerobic dehydrogenation to develop the novel assisted-tandem catalysis using molecular oxygen as a chemical trigger. The utility of the assisted-tandem catalysis was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of N-containing fused heteroarenes including a natural antibiotic, pyocyanine.

- Visible-Light-Promoted Efficient Aerobic Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles by a Tiny Organic Semiconductor Under Ambient Conditions
-
An efficient reusable catalytic system has been developed based on perylene diimide (PDI) organic semiconductor for the aerobic dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles with visible light. This practical catalytic system without any additives proceeds under ambient conditions. The minute aggregates of PDI molecules on the surface of SiO2 nanospheres form tiny organic semiconductors, resulting in high-efficiency photo-oxidative activity. Notably, the robustness of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of a wide range of N-heteroarenes, gram-scale experiments as well as reusability tests.

- Reusable, homogeneous water soluble photoredox catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles in a biphasic system: Application to the synthesis of biologically active natural products
-
Herein, a simple and efficient method for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, indolines and tetrahydro-(iso)quinolines is described using a reusable, homogeneous cobalt-phthalocyanine photoredox catalyst in a biphasic medium. A biphasic system offers an advantage of easy separation of the product and an efficient reusability of the homogeneous photoredox catalyst. Also, the current system significantly helps to overcome the solubility issue of the substrate and catalyst at room temperature. Its potential applications to organic transformations are demonstrated by the synthesis of various biologically active N-heterocycles such as indoles, (iso)quinolines and β-carbolines and natural products such as eudistomin U, norharmane, and harmane and precursors to perlolyrine and flazin. Without isolation and purification, the catalyst solution can be reused up to 5 times with almost comparable reactivity. Furthermore, the efficiency of the reaction was demonstrated on a gram scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on ODH reactions using a non noble, reusable and homogeneous cobalt photoredox catalyst under environmentally friendly conditions.

-
An iodine-catalyzed aerobic dehydro-aromatization has been developed, providing straightforward and efficient access to various benzoazoles and benzoazines. The present transition-metal-free protocol enables the dehydro-aromatization of tetrahydrobenzazoles and tetrahydroquinolines with molecular oxygen as the green oxidant, along with some other N-heterocycles. Hence, a broad range of heteroaromatic compounds are generated in moderate to good yields under facile reaction conditions.

- Aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles over OMS-2-based nanocomposite catalysts: Preparation, characterization and kinetic study
-
OMS-2-based nanocomposites doped with tungsten were prepared for the first time and their remarkably enhanced catalytic activity and recyclability in aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles were examined in detail. Many tetrahydroquinoline derivatives and a broad range of other N-heterocycles could be tolerated by the catalytic system using a biomass-derived solvent as a reaction medium. Newly generated mixed crystal phases, noticeably enhanced surface areas and labile lattice oxygen of the OMS-2-based nanocomposite catalysts might contribute to their excellent catalytic performance. Moreover, a kinetic study was extensively performed which concluded that the dehydrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is a first-order reaction, and the apparent activation energy is 29.66 kJ mol-1

- Exploring the Labile Nature of 2,4,6-Trimethoxyphenyl Moiety in Allylic Systems under Acidic Conditions
-
An investigation of the unexpected lability of the Csp3–Csp2 bond connecting 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl group and an allylic moiety is carried out. We observed that the catalytic presence of either Lewis or Br?nsted acid can render such 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl group labile. Several nucleophiles were found to substitute the labile C–C bond in mild reaction conditions resulting in very good yields of the allylated products. Even in the absence of a nucleophile, intramolecular cyclization of the parent substrate under acidic activation caused the labile C–C bond to cleave. A major motivation of this study is to understand the lability of electron-rich aryl group in acidic medium, employing 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl moiety as a case study. A plausible mechanism is proposed after carrying out several control reactions as well as UV/Vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies. This work provides an insight into the activation of electron-rich arenes as a labile entity in acidic medium while also adding a conceptually novel C–C bond breaking approach to the vast literature of allylation of arenes.

- Superhydrophobic nickel/carbon core-shell nanocomposites for the hydrogen transfer reactions of nitrobenzene and N-heterocycles
-
In this work, catalytic hydrogen transfer as an effective, green, convenient and economical strategy is for the first time used to synthesize anilines and N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds from nitrobenzene and N-heterocycles in one step. Nevertheless, how to effectively reduce the possible effects of water on the catalyst by removal of the by-product water, and to further introduce water as the solvent based on green chemistry are still challenges. Since the structures and properties of carbon nanocomposites are easily modified by controllable construction, a one step pyrolysis process is used for controllable construction of micro/nano hierarchical carbon nanocomposites with core-shell structures and magnetic separation performance. Using various characterization methods and model reactions the relationship between the structure of Ni?NCFs (nickel-nitrogen-doped carbon frameworks) and catalytic performance was investigated, and the results show that there is a positive correlation between the catalytic performance and hydrophobicity of catalysts. Besides, the possible catalytically active sites, which are formed by the interaction of pyridinic N and graphitic N in the structure of nitrogen-doped graphene with the surfaces of Ni nanoparticles, should be pivotal to achieving the relatively high catalytic performance of materials. Due to its unique structure, the obtained Ni?NCF-700 catalyst with superhydrophobicity shows extraordinary performances toward the hydrogen transfer reaction of nitrobenzene and N-heterocycles in the aqueous state; meanwhile, it was also found that Ni?NCF-700 still retained its excellent catalytic activity and structural integrity after three cycles. Compared with traditional catalytic systems, our catalytic systems offer a highly effective, green and economical alternative for nitrobenzene and N-heterocycle transformation, and may open up a new avenue for simple construction of structure and activity defined carbon nanocomposite heterogeneous catalysts with superhydrophobicity.

- Efficient acceptorless photo-dehydrogenation of alcohols and: N -heterocycles with binuclear platinum(ii) diphosphite complexes
-
Although photoredox catalysis employing Ru(ii) and Ir(iii) complexes as photocatalysts has emerged as a versatile tool for oxidative C-H functionalization under mild conditions, the need for additional reagents acting as electron donor/scavenger for completing the catalytic cycle undermines the practicability of this approach. Herein we demonstrate that photo-induced oxidative C-H functionalization can be catalysed with high product yields under oxygen-free and acceptorless conditions via inner-sphere atom abstraction by binuclear platinum(ii) diphosphite complexes. Both alcohols (51 examples), particularly the aliphatic ones, and saturated N-heterocycles (24 examples) can be efficiently dehydrogenated under light irradiation at room temperature. Regeneration of the photocatalyst by means of reductive elimination of dihydrogen from the in situ formed platinum(iii)-hydride species represents an alternative paradigm to the current approach in photoredox catalysis.

Graphene oxide (GO) has been developed as an inexpensive, environmental friendly, metal-free carbocatalyst for the dehydrogenation of nitrogen heterocycles. Valuable compounds, such as quinoline, 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline, quinazoline, and indole derivatives, have been successfully used as substrates. The investigation of various oxygen-containing molecules with different conjugated systems indicated that both the oxygen-containing groups and large π-conjugated system in GO sheets are essential for this reaction.

- Substituent Effects on the Spectral, Acid-Base, and Redox Properties of Indolyl Radicals: A Pulse Radiolysis Study
-
Spectral and acid-base properties and reduction potentials of various substituted indolyl radicals were studied by pulse radiolysis in aqueous solutions at 20 deg C.Except for the 5-methoxyindolyl and 5-carboxyindolyl radicals, the spectra of the substituted indolyl radicals resemble the previously published 320- and 520-nm spectra of the neutral and 330- and 580-nm spectra of the cation indolyl and tryptophan radicals.The substitution of indolyl radical cation by electron-attracting groups (positive ?+) results in a blue shift of the 580-nm band by ca. 30 nm,, whereas the spectra of methylindolyl (?+ = -0.31) are similar to those of unsubstituted indolyl radicals.The 430- and 455-nm bands appearing in the spectra of the 5-carboxyindolyl and 5-methoxyindolyl radical cations, respectively, indicate even stronger interaction of the unpaired electron with the 5-substituent.The radical cations of various indole-3-acetic acids decarboxylate at pH values below their pKa to produce allyl radicals.The 5-bromoindolyl radical undergoes solvolysis to 5-hydroxyindolyl radical in acidic and alkaline media.The dissociation constants and reduction potentials of the substituted indolyl radicals correlate with the Brown substituent constants: pKr = 4.14 - 2.13Σ?+, correlation coefficient 0.987, and E0/0.059 = 22.29 + 3.5Σ?+, correlation coefficient 0.980.The ρ values from these correlations (-2.13 and 3.5) are similar to that of the Hammett correlation of the dissociation constants of the protonated indole nitrogen in various substituted indoles, ρ = -2.49, but smaller than the ρ value of the dependence on the substituent of the reduction potentials of phenoxyl radicals, ρ = 5.4.

The effect of electronic factors on the heterogeneous-catalytic E.Fischer reaction was studied for the case of methoxy- and nitro-substituted arylhydrazones.It was shown that the presence of the methoxy groups in all probability increases the basicity of the respective hydrazone and facilitates adsorption of the active centers of the catalyst.In this case indoles are obtained with high yields.The presence of nitro groups hinder the adsorption of the hydrazone on the catalyst and as a result leads to a decrease in the yield of indole.
