- Bis(4-cyanophenyl) phenyl phosphate as viscosity reducing comonomer for phthalonitrile resins
-
Bis(4-cyanophenyl) phenyl phosphate (CPP) is introduced for the first time as a viscosity reducing comonomer for phthalonitrile resins. In comparison to the common phthalonitrile resins, the blends of CPP with 4,4′-[benzene-1,3-diylbis(oxy)]diphthalonitrile demonstrated advanced processing properties suitable for cost-effective injection processing (η as low as to 180 mPa?s at 100 °C). Thermal copolymerization was performed indicating complete inclusion of bis-benzonitrile CPP into the phthalonitrile network resulting in formation of thermosets with great thermal performance. Hydrolysis of CPP at pH 4, 7, and 10 was studied to confirm its suitability as a reactive diluent for phthalonitrile. Conversion vs. time plots were obtained via HPLC analysis, and pseudo-first order rate constants were determined in the range of 25–80 °C. The activation parameters were calculated from the Arrhenius equation.

- A highly photosensitive covalent organic framework with pyrene skeleton as metal-free catalyst for arylboronic acid hydroxylation
-
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been widely utilized in metal-free photocatalytic synthesis base on their excellent properties such as super conjugation, porosity and stability. In this work, we synthesized a new COF material using 1,3,6,8-Tetrakis (p-formylphenyl)pyrene (TFPPy) and 2,2′-Dimethylbenzidine (DMBZ) as basic units through Schiff base condensation reaction. The new COF (TF-DM COF) was applied as metal-free catalyst for hydroxylation of arylboronic acids. The results indicated that the extended π conjugation of COFs enhanced the absorption of visible light, and the large porosity (BET surface area: 113.782 m2g?1) accelerated the reaction rate. Good recyclability enables it with multiple applications, which result in a great reducing of the cost. This study reports that TF-DM COF has a broad application prospect as a new generation of metal-free photocatalysts for organic conversions.

- Photocatalytic Reductive C-O Bond Cleavage of Alkyl Aryl Ethers by Using Carbazole Catalysts with Cesium Carbonate
-
Methods to activate the relatively stable ether C-O bonds and convert them to other functional groups are desirable. One-electron reduction of ethers is a potentially promising route to cleave the C-O bond. However, owing to the highly negative redox potential of alkyl aryl ethers (Ered -2.6 V vs SCE), this mode of ether C-O bond activation is challenging. Herein, we report the visible-light-induced photocatalytic cleavage of the alkyl aryl ether C-O bond using a carbazole-based organic photocatalyst (PC). Both benzylic and non-benzylic aryl ethers underwent C-O bond cleavage to form the corresponding phenol products. Addition of Cs2CO3 was beneficial, especially in reactions using a N-H carbazole PC. The reaction was proposed to occur via single-electron transfer (SET) from the excited-state carbazole to the substrate ether. Interaction of the N-H carbazole PC with Cs2CO3 via hydrogen bonding exists, which enables a deprotonation-assisted electron-transfer mechanism to operate. In addition, the Lewis acidic Cs cation interacts with the substrate alkyl aryl ether to activate it as an electron acceptor. The high reducing ability of the carbazole combined with the beneficial effects of Cs2CO3 made this otherwise formidable SET event possible.

- Highly Efficient Oxidative Cyanation of Aldehydes to Nitriles over Se,S,N-tri-Doped Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanosheets
-
Oxidative cyanation of aldehydes provides a promising strategy for the cyanide-free synthesis of organic nitriles. Design of robust and cost-effective catalysts is the key for this route. Herein, we designed a series of Se,S,N-tri-doped carbon nanosheets with a hierarchical porous structure (denoted as Se,S,N-CNs-x, x represents the pyrolysis temperature). It was found that the obtained Se,S,N-CNs-1000 was very selective and efficient for oxidative cyanation of various aldehydes including those containing other oxidizable groups into the corresponding nitriles using ammonia as the nitrogen resource below 100 °C. Detailed investigations revealed that the excellent performance of Se,S,N-CNs-1000 originated mainly from the graphitic-N species with lower electron density and synergistic effect between the Se, S, N, and C in the catalyst. Besides, the hierarchically porous structure could also promote the reaction. Notably, the unique feature of this metal-free catalyst is that it tolerated other oxidizable groups, and showed no activity on further reaction of the products, thereby resulting in high selectivity. As far as we know, this is the first work for the synthesis of nitriles via oxidative cyanation of aldehydes over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts.

- A Molecular Iron-Based System for Divergent Bond Activation: Controlling the Reactivity of Aldehydes
-
The direct synthesis of amides and nitriles from readily available aldehyde precursors provides access to functional groups of major synthetic utility. To date, most reliable catalytic methods have typically been optimized to supply one product exclusively. Herein, we describe an approach centered on an operationally simple iron-based system that, depending on the reaction conditions, selectively addresses either the C=O or C-H bond of aldehydes. This way, two divergent reaction pathways can be opened to furnish both products in high yields and selectivities under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system takes advantage of iron's dual reactivity capable of acting as (1) a Lewis acid and (2) a nitrene transfer platform to govern the aldehyde building block. The present transformation offers a rare control over the selectivity on the basis of the iron system's ionic nature. This approach expands the repertoire of protocols for amide and nitrile synthesis and shows that fine adjustments of the catalyst system's molecular environment can supply control over bond activation processes, thus providing easy access to various products from primary building blocks.

- One pot synthesis of aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehydes in a water environment
-
In this study, we found a green method to obtain aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehyde in water. This simple process was modified from a conventional method. Compared with those approaches, we used water as the solvent instead of harmful chemical reagents. In this one-pot conversion, we got twenty-five aryl nitriles conveniently with pollution to the environment being minimized. Furthermore, we confirmed the reaction mechanism by capturing the intermediates, aldoximes.

- Rodlike 4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives, effect of the core length on mesophase behavior and their application as LE-LCD device
-
Three series of diaminotriazine derivatives with different core length have been synthesized, and the influence of the structural variation as well as the temperature on their mesophase behaviour were systematically investigated. With focus on the formation of CubI/Im3ˉm phase, multiple 2D/3D phases were discovered. Confirmed by polarized optical microscope, small/wide angle X-ray scattering, grazing incident small-angle X-ray scattering as well as molecular dynamics simulation, the results indicate that molecular curvature is critical to self-assembly structures. Moreover, the prerequisite for the formation of the CubI/Im3ˉm phase is intermediate molecular curvature on the surface of the micelle to allow the intercalation of the alkyl chains. Finally, the potentials for such compounds as light-emitting liquid crystal display (LE-LCD) device has been initially demonstrated.

- Facile dehydration of primary amides to nitriles catalyzed by lead salts: The anionic ligand matters
-
The synthesis of nitrile under mild conditions was achieved via dehydration of primary amide using lead salts as catalyst. The reaction processes were intensified by not only adding surfactant but also continuously removing the only by-product, water from the system. Both aliphatic and aromatic nitriles can be prepared in this manner with moderate to excellent yields. The reaction mechanisms were obtained with high-level quantum chemical calculations, and the crucial role the anionic ligand plays in the transformations were revealed.

- Substituent and Surfactant Effects on the Photochemical Reaction of Some Aryl Benzoates in Micellar Green Environment?
-
In this study, we carried out preparative and mechanistic studies on the photochemical reaction of a series of p-substituted phenyl benzoates in confined and sustainable micellar environment. The aim of this work is mainly focused to show whether the nature of the surfactant (ionic or nonionic) leads to noticeable selectivity in the photoproduct formation and whether the electronic effects of the substituents affect the chemical yields and the rate of formation of the 5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzophenone derivatives. Application of the Hammett linear free energy relationship (LFER) on the rate of formation of benzophenone derivatives, on the lower energy band of the UV-visible absorption spectra of the aryl benzoates and 5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzophenone derivatives allows a satisfactory quantification of the substituent effects. Furthermore, UV-visible and 2D-NMR (NOESY) spectroscopies have been employed to measure the binding constant Kb and the location of the aryl benzoates within the hydrophobic core of the micelle. Finally, TD-DFT calculations have been carried out to estimate the energies of the absorption bands of p-substituted phenyl benzoates and 5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzophenone derivatives providing good linear correlation with those values measured experimentally.

The solvent, amine, and electrophilic group effects on kinetics, mechanism and nucleofugality hierarchy are discussed from experimental and theoretical studies. These studies show the mechanistic dependence on the solvent polarity; the theoretical results indicate that the relative polarization of the reactive centres (CO and CS) and the stabilization of the nucleofuges are the main factors in the control of the product distribution.

- Zinc Oxide/Graphene Oxide as a Robust Active Catalyst for Direct Oxidative Synthesis of Nitriles from Alcohols in Water
-
In this work, without using any linker or chemical modification of graphene oxide, a zinc oxide immobilized graphene oxide-based catalyst was used for the direct aerobic oxidative conversion of alcohols to the nitriles in water. In the first step, graphene oxide was prepared and then zinc ions were electrostatically adsorbed onto the surface of graphene oxide. In the following step, zinc oxide nanoparticles were generated via in-situ growth in presence of NaOH. It was illustrated that graphene oxide layers can control the size of in-situ generated zinc oxide nanoparticles. Various aromatic/aliphatic/heteroaromatic primary alcohols converted to the nitriles in high yields under O2 balloon with ZnO/GO catalyst. This catalyst can be used for 7 successful consecutive runs without significant loss of activity. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Oxidation/ MCR domino protocol for direct transformation of methyl benzene, alcohol, and nitro compounds to the corresponding tetrazole using a three-functional redox catalytic system bearing TEMPO/Co(III)-porphyrin/ Ni(II) complex
-
A redox catalytic system for oxidation-reduction reactions and the domino preparation of tetrazole compounds from nitro and alcohol precursors was designed, prepared and characterized by UV–vis, GPC, TGA, XRD, EDX, XPS, VSM, FE-SEM, TEM, DLS, BET, NMR, and ICP analyses. The catalyst was prepared via several successive steps by demetalation of chlorophyll b, copolymerization with acrylated TEMPO monomers, complexation with Ni and Co metals (In two different steps), then immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles. The presence of three functional groups including TEMPO, coordinated cobalt, and coordinated nickel in the catalyst, allowed the oxidation of various types of alcohols, alkyl benzenes as well as the reduction of nitro compounds by a single catalyst. All reactions yielded up to 97 % selectivity for oxidation and reduction reactions. Next, the ability of the catalyst to successfully convert alcohol, methyl benzenes and nitro to their corresponding tetrazoles was studied.

- Discovery and characterization of a novel perylenephotoreductant for the activation of aryl halides
-
To develop a photocatalyst with catalytical activity for substrates with low reactivities is always highly desired. Herein, based on the principle of structure–property relationships, we rationally designed the natural product cercosporin, the naturally occurring perylenequinonoid pigment, to develop a novel organic perylenephotoreductant, hexacetyl reduced cercosporin (HARCP), through structural manipulation. Compared with cercosporin, HARCP shows prominent electrochemical and photophysical characteristics with greatly improved photoreductive activity, fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence quantum yield. These properties allowed HARCP as a powerful photoreductant to efficiently realize a series of benchmark reactions, including photoreduction, alkoxylation and hydroxylation to construct C–H and C–O bonds using aryl halides as substrates under mild conditions, all of which have never been achieved by the same photocatalyst. Thus, this study well supports the notion that the principle between structural manipulation and photocatalytic activity is of great significance to design customized photocatalysts for photoredox chemistry.

- Revisiting the synthesis of aryl nitriles: a pivotal role of CAN
-
Facilitated by the dual role of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), herein we report a cost-effective approach for the cyanation of aryl iodides/bromides with CAN-DMF as an addition to the existing pool of combined cyanation sources. In addition to being an oxidant, CAN acts as a source of nitrogen in our protocol. The reaction is catalyzed by a readily available Cu(ii) salt and the ability of CAN to generate ammonia in the reaction medium is utilized to eliminate the additional requirement of a nitrogen source, ligand, additive or toxic reagents. The mechanistic study suggests an evolution of CN?leading to the synthesis of a variety of aryl nitriles in moderate to good yields. The proposed mechanism is supported by a series of control reactions and labeling experiments.

Moreover, aryl chlorides were successfully employed as substrates. This methodology also provides a direct pathway for the formation of deoxyphomalone, which displayed a significant anti-proliferation effect.

- A highly stable all-in-one photocatalyst for aryl etherification: The NiIIembedded covalent organic framework
-
The efficient conversion of aryl bromides to the corresponding aryl alkyl ethers by dual nickel/photocatalysis has seen great progress, but difficulties of recycling the photosensitizer or nickel complexes cause problems of sustainability. Here, we report the design of a novel, highly stable vinyl bridge 2D covalent organic framework (COF) containing Ni, which combines the role of photosensitizer and reactive site. The as-prepared sp2c-COFdpy-Ni acts as an efficient heterogeneous photocatalyst for C-O cross coupling. The sp2c-COFdpy-Ni can be completely recovered and used repeatedly without loss of activity, overcoming the limitations of the prior methods. Preliminary studies reveal that strong interlayer electron transfer may facilitate the generation of the proposed intermediate sp2c-COFdpy-NiI in a bimolecular and self-sustained manner. This all-in-one heterogeneous photocatalyst exhibits good compatibility of substrates and tolerance of functional groups. The successful attempt to expand the 2D COFs with this new catalyst into photocatalytic organic transformation opens an avenue for photoredox/transition metal mediated coupling reactions.

-
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer great potential for various advanced applications such as photocatalysis, sensing, and so on because of their fully conjugated, porous, and chemically stable unique structural architecture. In this work, we have designed and developed a truxene-based ultrastable COF (Tx-COF-2) by Schiff-base condensation between 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB) and 5,5,10,10,15,15-hexamethyl-10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno(1,2-a:1′,2′-c)fluorene-2,7,12-tricarbaldehyde (Tx-CHO) for the first time. The resulting COF possesses excellent crystallinity, permanent porosity, and high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas (up to 1137 m2 g-1). The COF was found to be a heterogeneous, recyclable photocatalyst for efficient conversion of arylboronic acids to phenols under visible-light irradiation, an environmentally friendly alternative approach to conventional metal-based photocatalysis. Besides, Tx-COF-2 provides an immediate naked-eye color change (1 s) and fluorescence "turn-on"phenomena upon exposure to HCl. The response is highly sensitive, with an ultralow detection limit of up to 4.5 nmol L-1.

- Building a Pyrazole–Benzothiadiazole–Pyrazole Photosensitizer into Metal–Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic Aerobic Oxidation
-
Charge separation plays a crucial role in regulating photochemical properties and therefore warrants consideration in designing photocatalysts. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising candidates for heterogeneous photocatalysis due to their structural designability and tunability of photon absorption. Herein, we report the design of a pyrazole–benzothiadiazole–pyrazole organic molecule bearing a donor–acceptor–donor conjugated π-system for fast charge separation. Further attempts to integrate such a photosensitizer into MOFs afford a more effective heterogeneous photocatalyst (JNU-204). Under visible-light irradiation, three aerobic oxidation reactions involving different oxygenation pathways were achieved on JNU-204. Recycling experiments were conducted to demonstrate the stability and reusability of JNU-204 as a robust heterogeneous photocatalyst. Furthermore, we illustrate its applications in the facile synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-containing heterocycles, core skeletons of a family of marine natural products. JNU-204 is an exemplary MOF platform with good photon absorption, suitable band gap, fast charge separation, and extraordinary chemical stability for proceeding with aerobic oxidation reactions under visible-light irradiation.

- Double Insurance of Continuous Band Structure and N-C Layer Induced Prolonging of Carrier Lifetime to Enhance the Long-Wavelength Visible-Light Catalytic Activity of N-Doped In2O3
-
Nonmetallic doped metal oxides can be broad in their visible-light-response range. However, the half-filled or isolated impurity state can also be the new recombination center for photogenerated electrons/holes, which seriously influence the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst in the visible-light region. Therefore, how to prolong the photogenerated carrier life of nonmetallic doping metal oxides is the difficult and challenging topic in the field of photocatalysis. In this work, the hexagonal nanosheets assembled by N-doped C (N-C)-coated N-doped In2O3 (N-In2O3) nanoparticles (N-C/N-In2O3 HS) was obtained by simply pyrolyzing the In(2,5-PDC) hexagonal sheets. The N-C/N-In2O3 HS catalyst exhibit good photocatalytic activity and cycle stability in the long-wavelength region of visible light (λ = 520 and 595 nm). The effective utilization of long-wavelength visible light for N-C/N-In2O3 HS was mainly attributed to the acceptor-donor-acceptor compensation mechanism between the oxygen vacancy (VO) and substitutional N-doping (Ns) sites, which made the N-C/N-In2O3 HS possess a continuous band structure, without the half-filled or isolated impurity state in the band gap, and extended its light absorption edge to 733 nm. The compensation mechanism of nitrogen doping on In2O3 can promote the photocatalytic activity under longer-wavelength yellow light (595 nm) irradiation. The N-C layer coated on the N-In2O3 nanoparticles acted as a good acceptor of photogenerated electrons, facilitating the effective spatial separation of photogenerated carriers and extend photogenerated carrier lifetimes. The comparative photocatalytic experiments (N-In2O3 HS and N-C/N-In2O3 HS) show that the presence of N-doped C layer can enhance the photocatalytic efficiency by nearly 10-fold. This double-doping and carbon-coating strategy provided a novel research idea to solve the problem that nonmetal atoms doped metal oxides led to the secondary combination of photogenerated electrons/holes.

- Transforming a Fluorochrome to an Efficient Photocatalyst for Oxidative Hydroxylation: A Supramolecular Dimerization Strategy Based on Host-Enhanced Charge Transfer
-
The development of non-covalent synthetic strategy to fabricate efficient photocatalysts is of great importance in theranostic and organic materials. Herein, a fluorochrome N,N′-dimethyl 2,5-bis(4-pyridinium)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazolediiodide (MPT) was transformed into an efficient photocatalyst through supramolecular dimerization in the cavity of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). The host-enhanced charge transfer interaction within the supramolecular dimer 2MPT-CB[8] dramatically promoted intersystem crossing to produce triplet. In addition, the staggered conformation of 2MPT-CB[8] facilitated the energy transfer and electron transfer of the triplet. As a result, 2MPT-CB[8] could serve as a high-efficiency photocatalyst for the oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids. This supramolecular dimerization strategy enriches the supramolecular engineering of functional π-systems. It is anticipated that this strategy can be extended to fabricate various π-systems with tailor-made functions.

- CuO-catalyzed conversion of arylacetic acids into aromatic nitriles with K4Fe(CN)6 as the nitrogen source
-
Readily available CuO was demonstrated to be effective as the catalyst for the conversion of arylacetic acids to aromatic nitriles with non-toxic and inexpensive K4Fe(CN)6 as the nitrogen source via the complete cleavage of the C[tbnd]N triple bond. The present method allowed a series of arylacetic acids including phenylacetic acids, naphthaleneacetic acids, 2-thiopheneacetic acid and 2-furanacetic acid to be converted into the targeted products in low to high yields.

- Rapid gram-scale synthesis of Au/chitosan nanoparticles catalysts using solid mortar grinding
-
Owing to the abundant functional groups present in the chitosan polymer, high density catalytic tiny gold particles with greater dispersion can be anchored on the chitosan powder using simple mortar and pestle. Chitosan-supported gold nanoparticles (NPs) with excellent control of size and shape were rapidly synthesized in gram-scale by solid-grinding without the need of any toxic solvents. The structure of catalysts and products was established by advanced instrumental and spectroscopic methods. The supported gold NPs functions as a heterogeneous catalyst for the homocoupling of phenylboronic acid and the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol in water. The catalytic behaviour and activity of supported gold NPs was tuned/modulated by varying the ratio of chitosan polymer and gold precursor. Comparative studies showed that the solid chitosan supported gold catalyst exhibits superior catalytic activity and selectivity than the well known hydrophilic polymer-stabilized gold NPs catalysts prepared by the conventional solution-based methods.

- Alkylsulfenyl thiocarbonates: precursors to hydropersulfides potently attenuate oxidative stress
-
The recent discovery of the prevalence of hydropersulfides (RSSH) species in biological systems suggests their potential roles in cell regulatory processes. However, the reactive and transient nature of RSSH makes their study difficult, and dependent on the use of donor molecules. Herein, we report alkylsulfenyl thiocarbonates as a new class of RSSH precursors that efficiently release RSSH under physiologically relevant conditions. RSSH release kinetics from these precursors are tunable through electronic modification of the thiocarbonate carbonyl group's electrophilicity. In addition, these precursors also react with thiols to release RSSH with a minor amount of carbonyl sulfide (COS). Importantly, RSSH generation by these precursors protects against oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiac myoblasts. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability of these precursors to increase intracellular RSSH levels.

- Novel pleconaril derivatives: Influence of substituents in the isoxazole and phenyl rings on the antiviral activity against enteroviruses
-
Today, there are no medicines to treat enterovirus and rhinovirus infections. In the present study, a series of novel pleconaril derivatives with substitutions in the isoxazole and phenyl rings was synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activity against a panel of pleconaril-sensitive and -resistant enteroviruses. Studies of the structure-activity relationship demonstrate the crucial role of the N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group in the isoxazole ring for antiviral activity against pleconaril-resistant viruses. In addition, one or two substituents in the phenyl ring directly impact on the spectrum of antienteroviral activity. The 3-(3-methyl-4-(3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-isoxazol-5-yl)propoxy)phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 10g was among the compounds exhibiting the strongest activity against pleconaril-resistant as well as pleconaril-susceptible enteroviruses with IC50 values from 0.02 to 5.25 μM in this series. Compound 10g demonstrated markedly less CYP3A4 induction than pleconaril, was non-mutagenic, and was bioavailable after intragastric administration in mice. These results highlight compound 10g as a promising potential candidate as a broad spectrum enterovirus and rhinovirus inhibitor for further preclinical investigations.
