Paragraph 00238; 00252, (2022/02/05)
Provided are new nickel./zirconium-mediated coupling reactions useful in the synthesis of ketone-containing compounds, e.g., halichondrin natural products and related molecules. A feature of the present disclosure is the use of a nickel(I) catalyst in tandem with a nickel (II) catalyst in the Ni/Zr-mediated coupling reactions. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the nickel (I) catalyst selectively activates the electrophilic coupling partner (i.e., the compound of Formula (A)), and the nickel(ll) catalyst selectively activates the nucleophilic coupling partner (i.e., a thioester of Formula (B)). This dual catalyst system leads to improved coupling efficiency and eliminates the need for a large excess of one of the coupling partners (i.e., a compound of Formula (A) or (B)).

Herein, we disclose a Ni-catalyzed formal aminocarbonylation of primary and secondary unactivated aliphatic iodides with isocyanides to afford alkyl amide, which proceeds via the selective monomigratory insertion of isocyanides with alkyl iodides, subsequent β-hydride elimination, and hydrolysis process. The reaction features wide functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Additionally, the selective, one-pot hydrolysis of reaction mixture under acid conditions allows for expedient synthesis of the corresponding alkyl carboxylic acid.

Two new examples of structurally characterized β-diketiminate analogues i.e., conjugated bis-guanidinate (CBG) supported palladium(II) complexes, [LPdX]2; [L= {(ArHN)(ArN)–C=N–C=(NAr)(NHAr)}; Ar = 2,6-Et2-C6H3], X = Cl (1), Br (2) have been reported. The synthesis of complexes 1–2 was achieved by two methods. Method A involves deprotonation of LH by nBuLi followed by the treatment of LLi (insitu formed) with PdCl2 in THF, which afforded compound 1 in good yield (75 %). In Method B, the reaction between free LH and PdX2 (X = Cl or Br) in THF allowed the formation of complexes 1 (Yield 73 %) and 2 (Yield 52 %), respectively. Moreover, these complexes were characterized thoroughly by several spectroscopic techniques (1H, 13C NMR, UV/Vis, FT-IR, and HRMS), including single-crystal X-ray structural and elemental analyses. In addition, we tested the catalytic activity of these complexes 1–2 for the hydroboration of carbonyl compounds with pinacolborane (HBpin). We observed that compound 1 exhibits superior catalytic activity when compared to 2. Compound 1 efficiently catalyzes various aldehydes and ketones under solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, both inter- and intramolecular chemoselectivity hydroboration of aldehydes over other functionalities have been established.

Herein, we report an efficient isomerization-transfer hydrogenation reaction sequence based on a cobalt pincer catalyst (1 mol %), which allows the synthesis of a series of anti-Markovnikov alcohols from terminal and internal epoxides under mild reaction conditions (≤55 °C, 8 h) at low catalyst loading. The reaction proceeds by Lewis acid (3 mol % Er(OTf)3)-catalyzed epoxide isomerization and subsequent cobalt-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation using ammonia borane as the hydrogen source. The general applicability of this methodology is highlighted by the synthesis of 43 alcohols from epoxides. A variety of terminal (23 examples) and 1,2-disubstituted internal epoxides (14 examples) bearing different functional groups are converted to the desired anti-Markovnikov alcohols in excellent selectivity and yields of up to 98%. For selected examples, it is shown that the reaction can be performed on a preparative scale up to 50 mmol. Notably, the isomerization step proceeds via the most stable carbocation. Thus, the regiochemistry is controlled by stereoelectronic effects. As a result, in some cases, rearrangement of the carbon framework is observed when tri-and tetra-substituted epoxides (6 examples) are converted. A variety of functional groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions even though aldehydes and ketones are also reduced to the respective alcohols under the reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies and control experiments were used to investigate the role of the Lewis acid in the reaction. Besides acting as the catalyst for the epoxide isomerization, the Lewis acid was found to facilitate the dehydrogenation of the hydrogen donor, which enhances the rate of the transfer hydrogenation step. These experiments additionally indicate the direct transfer of hydrogen from the amine borane in the reduction step.

We found that in situ generated cerium(IV) carboxylate generated by mixing the precursor Ce(OtBu)4 with the corresponding carboxylic acids served as efficient photocatalysts for the direct formation of carboxyl radicals from carboxylic acids under blue light-emitting diodes (blue LEDs) irradiation and air, resulting in catalytic decarboxylative oxygenation of aliphatic carboxylic acids to give C-O bond-forming products such as aldehydes and ketones. Control experiments revealed that hexanuclear Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters initially formed in the reaction mixture and the ligand-to-metal charge transfer nature of the Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters was responsible for the high catalytic performance to transform the carboxylate ligands to the carboxyl radical. In addition, the Ce(IV) carboxylate cluster catalyzed direct lactonization of 2-isopropylbenzoic acid to produce the corresponding peroxy lactone and ?3-lactone via intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT).

The chemical state of Pd plays an important role in the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this work, we adopted a novel one-step modified KIT-6-templating strategy with nitrates of cobalt and palladium as the metal source to successfully synthesize the three-dimensionally ordered mesoporous Co3O4-supported Pd nanoparticles (0.85 wt% Pd/meso-Co3O4, denoted as 0.85Pd/meso-Co3O4). The 0.93 wt% Pd/meso-CoO (denoted as 0.93Pd/meso-CoO) and 1.08 wt% Pd/meso-Co-CoO (denoted as 1.08Pd/meso-Co-CoO) samples were prepared via in situ reduction of 0.85Pd/meso-Co3O4 in a H2 flow at 200 and 350 °C, respectively. Among these samples, 0.93Pd/meso-CoO exhibited the highest catalytic activity for benzene combustion (T50% = 167 °C and T90% = 189 °C at a space velocity of 40000 mL (g h)-1). The chemical state of Pd on the 0.93Pd/meso-CoO surface was metallic Pd0, which favored oxygen activation to active adsorbed oxygen (Oads) species, hence rendering this sample to possess the largest desorption of Oads species below 400 °C. The intermediates of formate, acetate, maleate, and phenolate were generated via the interaction of benzene and Oads species. We conclude that the excellent catalytic performance of 0.93Pd/meso-CoO was related to the mainly formed Pd0 species, good oxygen activation ability, and high surface area.

Herein, we report on the use of the iron pincer complex Iron-MACHO-BH, in the base-free transfer hydrogenation of esters with EtOH as a hydrogen source. More than 20 substrates including aromatic and aliphatic esters and lactones were reduced affording the desired primary alcohols and diols with moderate to excellent isolated yields. It is also possible to reduce polyesters to the diols with this method, enabling a novel way of plastic recycling. Reduction of the renewable substrate methyl levulinate proceeds to form 1,4-pentanediol directly. The yields are largely governed by the equilibrium between the alcohol and the ethyl ester.

An efficient method for the catalytic deoxydehydration of renewable triols, including those obtained from 5-HMF, is described. The corresponding unsaturated alcohols were obtained in good yields using simple rhenium(vii)oxide under neat conditions and ambient atmosphere at 165 °C.

A simple and general visible-light-mediated oxidation of organoboron compounds has been developed with rose bengal as the photocatalyst, substoichiometric Et3N as the electron donor, as well as air as the oxidant. This mild and metal-free protocol shows a broad substrate scope and provides a wide range of aliphatic alcohols and phenols in moderate to excellent yields. Notably, the robustness of this method is demonstrated on the stereospecific aerobic oxidation of organoboron compounds.

We report a facile, inexpensive, and green method for the preparation of Pd nanoparticles in aqueous medium stabilized by anionic sulfonated surfactants sodium 1-dodecanesulfonate 1a, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate 1b, dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt 1c, and poly(ethylene glycol) 4-nonylphenyl-3-sulfopropyl ether potassium salt 1d simply obtained by stirring aqueous solutions of Pd(OAc)2 with the commercial anionic surfactants further treated under hydrogen atmosphere for variable amounts of time. The aqueous Pd nanoparticle solutions were tested in the selective hydrogenation reactions of aryl-alcohols, -aldehydes, and -ketones, leading to complete conversion to the deoxygenated products even in the absence of strong Br?nsted acids in the reduction of aromatic aldehydes and ketones, in the controlled semihydrogenation of alkynes leading to alkenes, and in the efficient hydrodechlorination of aromatic substrates. In all cases, the micellar media were crucial for stabilizing the metal nanoparticles, dissolving substrates, steering product selectivity, and enabling recycling. What is interesting is also that a benchmark catalyst like Pd/C can often be surpassed in activity and/or selectivity in the reactions tested by simply switching to the appropriate commercially available surfactant, thereby providing an easy to use, flexible, and practical catalytic system capable of efficiently addressing a variety of synthetically significant hydrogenation reactions.
