- Selective allylic oxidation of cyclohexene over a novel nanostructured CeO2–Sm2O3/SiO2 catalyst
-
Abstract: Selective allylic oxidation of cyclohexene was investigated over nanostructured CeO2/SiO2 and CeO2–Sm2O3/SiO2 catalysts synthesized by a feasible deposition precipitation method. The CeO2–Sm2O3/SiO2 catalyst showed excellent catalytic efficiency with ~89?% cyclohexene conversion and ~90?% selectivity for allylic products (i.e., 2-cyclohexen-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one), while only ~50 and ~35?% cyclohexene conversion was observed, respectively, over CeO2/SiO2 and CeO2 catalysts. Systematic characterization of the designed catalysts was undertaken to correlate their catalytic activity with the physicochemical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area measurements, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and NH3-temperature programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The results revealed that doping of Sm3+ into the ceria lattice and simultaneous dispersion of resultant Ce–Sm mixed oxides on the silica surface led to improved structural, acidic, and catalytic properties. The better catalytic efficiency of CeO2–Sm2O3/SiO2 was due to high specific surface area, more structural defects, and high concentration of strong acid sites, stimulated by synergistic interaction between various oxides in the catalyst. The cyclohexene conversion and selectivity for allylic products depended on the reaction temperature, nature of solvent, molar ratio of cyclohexene to oxidant, and reaction time. Possible reaction pathways are proposed for selective allylic oxidation of cyclohexene towards 2-cyclohexen-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one products. Graphical Abstract: SiO2-supported CeO2–Sm2O3 nanocatalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic performance with superior selectivity for allylic products in liquid-phase selective oxidation of cyclohexene under mild reaction conditions.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Dicationic ionic liquids/heteropoly acid composites as heterogeneous catalysts for cyclohexene oxidation with molecular oxygen under solvent-free condition: Insights from theory and experiments
-
This study describes solvent-free oxidation of cyclohexene using dicationic ionic liquids (DIL)/heteropoly acid (HPA) composites with molecular oxygen. Structural characterization of the DIL/HPA composites was carried out by different techniques such as ICP, FT-IR, 1H NMR, BET, TGA, XRD, FESEM, EDX and TEM. Characterization results confirmed that heteropoly acids i.e., tungstophosphoric (H3PW12O40, TPA) and molybdophosphoric acid (H3PMo12O40, MPA) were incorporated with DILs without distortion of the Keggin structure of the heteropoly acids. Two different dicationic ionic liquids with linear and aromatic linkage, DIL-L and DIL-A, were prepared and applied for synthesis of the composites. Effective parameters including the effect of temperature, time, oxygen pressure, amount of the selected catalyst, i.e., DIL-L/tungstophosphoric acid was thoroughly investigated. The catalyst was found to be stable and recyclable. The main product of the reaction was cyclohexene-2-one (Cy-one) at 70?°C and 15?bar oxygen pressure after 6?h. Additionally, theoretical calculations at the PM6 semi-empirical method was performed on DILs/HPA complexes with different number of DIL molecules to explore the capacity of HPA in interaction with DILs and obtained the orientations of DILs around the Keggin oxoanion of the HPA. The calculations showed that the maximum number of DIL molecules around the [H2PW12O40]? oxoanion was five and the interaction of DIL-L withthe oxoanion was stronger than that of DIL-A which was in agreement with the experimental data.

- Effect of Support Nature on Ruthenium-Catalyzed Allylic Oxidation of Cycloalkenes
-
Allylic oxidation of cycloalkenes is a promising route to generate α,β-unsaturated ketones but encounters difficulties in selectivity control. Here, it is demonstrated that ruthenium nanoparticles (1–2?nm sized) decorated on TiO2 nanomaterials with different morphologies (nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanofibers) are demonstrated highly efficiency and selectivity for the selective aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene and indane. The as-prepared Ru/TiO2 nanofibers (NFs) represents higher activity for the allylic oxidation of cyclohexene (conv. 95%) with 78% selectivity toward 2-cyclohexen-1-one at 75?°C under 4?bar O2. Whereas, Ru/TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and Ru/TiO2 nanotubes (NTs) show 92 and 84% conversion, respectively. Upon switching to Al2O3 support, catalytic activity with Ru/Al2O3 is decreased significantly to 27%. Very high activity for indane (conv. 70%) toward 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (selectivity 85%) has also been observed by using Ru/TiO2 NFs. Ru/TiO2 nanomaterials possess higher catalytic efficiency as compared to Ru NPs and TiO2 nanomaterials individually, representing a positive synergetic effect. Moreover, these reported results suggest that the higher activities of Ru/TiO2 NPs and Ru/TiO2 NFs are related to the crystalline structure, pore volume and surface area of the supports.

- Highly Selective Hydrodeoxygenation of Lignin to Naphthenes over Three-Dimensional Flower-like Ni2P Derived from Hydrotalcite
-
A strategy for low-temperature synthesis of hydrotalcite-based nickel phosphide catalysts (Ni2P-Al2O3) with flower-like porous structures was proposed. The in situ reduction of red phosphorus at 500 °C enables Ni2P catalysts with small particle size and abundant active and acidic sites, which facilitate the activation of substrates and H2. In the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol, a 100% conversion and 94.5% yield of cyclohexane were obtained over the Ni2P-Al2O3 catalyst under 5 MPa H2 at 250 °C for 3 h. Other lignin-derived phenolic compounds could also afford the corresponding alkanes with yields higher than 85%. Moreover, Ni2P-Al2O3 exhibited high hydrodeoxygenation activity in the deconstruction of more complex wood structures, including lignin oil and real lignin. Among the two different types of Ni sites of Ni(1) and Ni(2) in Ni2P, density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the Ni(2) site, highly exposed on the Ni2P-Al2O3 surface, possesses a stronger ability to break C-OH bonds during the hydrodeoxygenation of guaiacol in comparison with the Ni(1) site.

- Organocatalytic epoxidation and allylic oxidation of alkenes by molecular oxygen
-
Pyrrole-proline diketopiperazine (DKP) acts as an efficient mediator for the reduction of dioxygen by Hantzsch ester under mild conditions to allow the aerobic metal-free epoxidation of electron-rich alkenes. Mechanistic crossovers are underlined, explaining the dual role of Hantzsch ester as a reductant/promoter of the DKP catalyst and a simultaneous competitor for the epoxidation of alkenes when HFIP is used as a solvent. Expansion of this protocol to the synthesis of allylic alcohols was achieved by adding a catalytic amount of selenium dioxide as an additive, revealing a superior method to the classical application of t-BuOOH as a selenium dioxide oxidant.

- Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks for catalytic oxidation of olefins
-
Two isostructural lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOF-589, Ln = La3+, Ce3+), constructed from a tetratopic linker, benzoimidephenanthroline tetracarboxylic acid (H4BIPA-TC), have been solvothermally synthesized and characterized. These Ln-MOF-589 materials consist of Lewis acid [Ln2(-COO)6(-COOH)2(H2O)6] units and a naphthalene diimide core, which exhibited promising catalytic activity for the oxidation of olefins. Among them, Ce-MOF-589 exhibited outstanding performance with high conversions of styrene and cyclohexene (94 and 90%, respectively), and good selectivities towards styrene oxide and 2-cyclohexen-1-one (85, and 95%, respectively). Notably, the catalytic activity of Ce-MOF-589 outperformed that of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, and representative MOFs. Also, Ce-MOF-589 can be recycled for at least up to six cycles with no significant loss of catalytic performance.

- Instant Cyclohexene Epoxidation Over Ni-TUD-1 Under Ambient Conditions
-
Abstract: To avoid the aggregation problem and activity loss of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) in organic reactions, NiO NPs were incorporated into TUD-1 mesoporous material. One-step sol–gel preparation was applied to prepare four samples of Ni incorporated in TUD-1 silica matrix with different Ni content. The four samples with Si/Ni ratio = 100, 50, 20, and 10 were characterized by means of elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, N2 sorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The characterization analysis showed that Ni2+ ions were incorporated into the silica matrix as individual isolated active sites at Ni content smaller than 2 wt%, and as nanoparticles of NiO when the loading is equal to or higher than 5 wt%. The size of NiO NPs inside the silica matrix is highly dependent on the Ni content, i.e. the size of NiO NPs when the loading was 5 wt% and 10 wt% was 5–10 and 40–60?nm, respectively. The catalytic activity of Ni-TUD-1 was investigated in the epoxidation reaction of cyclohexene at room temperature by using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) as an oxidant. The obtained results showed that Ni-TUD-1 exhibited superior activity in which 100% conversion of cyclohexene with > 90% selectivity towards cyclohexene oxide was obtained instantly. This result was found to benchmark not only the unsupported NiO nanoparticles, but also the reported catalysts at similar conditions. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Selective cyclohexene oxidation to allylic compounds over a Cu-triazole frameworkviahomolytic activation of hydrogen peroxide
-
Utilization of metal-organic frameworks as heterogeneous catalysts is crucial owing to their abundant catalytic sites and well-defined porous structures. Highly robust [Cu3(trz)3(μ3-OH)(OH)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) was employed as a catalyst for liquid-phase cyclohexene oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Possessing the porous structure together with Lewis acid attributes from the triangular [Cu3(trz)3(μ3-OH)] center, selective oxidation of cyclohexene to allylic products gives a molar yield of 31% with 87% selectivity. According to the highly selective allylic production, the reaction over the present Cu-MOF plausibly occursviahomolytic activation of H2O2. This finding elucidates the unique features of the MOF for efficient catalysis of cyclohexene oxidation.

- Direct hydrothermal synthesis of Mo-containing MFI zeolites using Mo-EDTA complex and their catalytic application in cyclohexene epoxidation
-
A series of Mo-containing MFI zeolites with different Mo loadings (Mo-MFI-n, n represent the initial Si/Mo molar ratio) was hydrothermally synthesized by using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide as the template and Mo-EDTA complex as the Mo source. Various characterization results demonstrated that the use of the Mo-EDTA complex is beneficial for the incorporation of more Mo species into the MFI-type zeolites. The special complexing capability of EDTA2– plays a critical role in adjusting the release rate of the Mo species to combine with the Si tetrahedron species during the zeolite growth process, thus leading to a uniform distribution of Mo in the MFI framework. In addition, a small portion of extra-framework Mo clusters may be distributed inside the channels or near the pore window of the zeolites. The catalytic properties of these Mo-containing MFI zeolites were evaluated for the epoxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 as the oxidant. The composition-optimized catalyst, Mo-MFI-50, efficiently converted cyclohexene to the corresponding epoxide with a relatively high conversion (93%) and epoxide selectivity (82%) at 75 °C after 9 h of reaction. Moreover, the resultant Mo-containing MFI catalyst exhibited excellent structural stability and recoverability and was easily recycled by simple filtration without the need for calcination treatment.

- Room Temperature Aerobic Peroxidation of Organic Substrates Catalyzed by Cobalt(III) Alkylperoxo Complexes
-
Room temperature aerobic oxidation of hydrocarbons is highly desirable and remains a great challenge. Here we report a series of highly electrophilic cobalt(III) alkylperoxo complexes, CoIII(qpy)OOR supported by a planar tetradentate quaterpyridine ligand that can directly abstract H atoms from hydrocarbons (R′H) at ambient conditions (CoIII(qpy)OOR + R′H → CoII(qpy) + R′?+ ROOH). The resulting alkyl radical (R′?) reacts rapidly with O2to form alkylperoxy radical (R′OO?), which is efficiently scavenged by CoII(qpy) to give CoIII(qpy)OOR′ (CoII(qpy) + R′OO?→ CoIII(qpy)OOR′). This unique reactivity enables CoIII(qpy)OOR to function as efficient catalysts for aerobic peroxidation of hydrocarbons (R′H + O2→ R′OOH) under 1 atm air and at room temperature.

- Catalytic epoxidation of β-ionone with molecular oxygen using selenium-doped silica materials
-
A novel Se-doped silica material was fabricated, and this easily prepared material could be used as an efficient recyclable catalyst for β-ionone oxidation. Interestingly, by doping with fluorine in the catalyst, the reaction selectivity was significantly enhanced to produce the important pharmaceutical intermediate β-ionone epoxide selectively. Characterization of the materials indicated that by doping with F, the electropositivity of the catalytic Se species was obviously enhanced due to the strong electron-withdrawing features of F, and this was a key factor for controlling the reaction selectivity in the β-ionone epoxidation reaction. The electropositivity of a silica support might also increase and the reinforced electropositivity of Si sites might be beneficial for the adsorption of a β-ionone substrate and for the contact of the electron-enriched endocyclic C-C with the catalyst.

- Manganese-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Ketones under Mild and Base-free Conditions

In this paper, several Mn(I) complexes were applied as catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe) (CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under base-free conditions with a catalyst loading of 3 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar. A temperature-dependent selectivity for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls was observed. At room temperature, the carbonyl group was selectively hydrogenated, while the C=C bond stayed intact. At 60 °C, fully saturated systems were obtained. A plausible mechanism based on DFT calculations which involves an inner-sphere hydride transfer is proposed.

- Dual utility of a single diphosphine-ruthenium complex: A precursor for new complexes and, a pre-catalyst for transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation
-
The diphosphine-ruthenium complex, [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] (dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene), where the two carbonyls are mutually cis and the two chlorides are trans, has been found to serve as an efficient precursor for the synthesis of new complexes. In [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] one of the two carbonyls undergoes facile displacement by neutral monodentate ligands (L) to afford complexes of the type [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(L)Cl2] (L = acetonitrile, 4-picoline and dimethyl sulfoxide). Both the carbonyls in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] are displaced on reaction with another equivalent of dppbz to afford [Ru(dppbz)2Cl2]. The two carbonyls and the two chlorides in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] could be displaced together by chelating mono-anionic bidentate ligands, viz. anions derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hq) and 2-picolinic acid (Hpic) via loss of a proton, to afford the mixed-tris complexes [Ru(dppbz)(q)2] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)2], respectively. The molecular structures of four selected complexes, viz. [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(dmso)Cl2], [Ru(dppbz)2Cl2], [Ru(dppbz)(q)2] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)2], have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In dichloromethane solution, all the complexes show intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry on the complexes shows redox responses within 0.71 to -1.24 V vs. SCE. [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] has been found to serve as an excellent pre-catalyst for catalytic transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation.

- Late-Stage Intermolecular Allylic C-H Amination
-
Allylic amination enables late-stage functionalization of natural products where allylic C-H bonds are abundant and introduction of nitrogen may alter biological profiles. Despite advances, intermolecular allylic amination remains a challenging problem due to reactivity and selectivity issues that often mandate excess substrate, furnish product mixtures, and render important classes of olefins (for example, functionalized cyclic) not viable substrates. Here we report that a sustainable manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst, [MnIII(ClPc)], achieves selective, preparative intermolecular allylic C-H amination of 32 cyclic and linear compounds, including ones housing basic amines and competing sites for allylic, ethereal, and benzylic amination. Mechanistic studies support that the high selectivity of [MnIII(ClPc)] may be attributed to its electrophilic, bulky nature and stepwise amination mechanism. Late-stage amination is demonstrated on five distinct classes of natural products, generally with >20:1 site-, regio-, and diastereoselectivity.

Catalytic oxidation of organic substrates has wide applications in chemical industries due to which huge extensive research work is continuously going on throughout the world. Present study reports efficacious use of Trans (Cl)-2,2′-bipyridinedicarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) complex catalyzed oxidation of internal and terminal olefins, aryl hydrocarbons and alcohols. CH2Cl2–C2H5OH (6:4) was suitable solvent system for these oxidation reactions. The normal pressure oxidation reaction has been carried out at 1 ?atm. Pressure of oxygen and at 300C. The high pressure oxidation reaction was done at 4.48 ?× ?103 KNm3 pressure of oxygen and at 600C. No diminished catalytic activity was observed while checking the recyclability of catalyst up to 6–8 catalytic runs. Catalytic activity was also investigated using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant inspite of di-oxygen. Effect of different parameters on the rate of oxidation was also studied i.e. extra ligand, temperature, solvents, acids and bases. Kinetic studies have been done and on the basis of kinetics, the mechanism is proposed.

g-C3N4/metal halide perovskite composites were prepared and used for the first time as photocatalysts forin situ1O2generation to perform hetero Diels-Alder, ene and oxidation reactions with suitable dienes and alkenes. The standardized methodology was made applicable to a variety of olefinic substrates. The scope of the method is finely illustrated and the reactions afforded desymmetrized hydroxy-ketone derivatives, unsaturated ketones and epoxides. Some limitations were also observed, especially in the case of the alkene oxidations, and poor chemoselectivity was somewhere observed in this work which is the first application of MHP-based composites forin situ1O2generation. The experimental protocol can be used as a platform to further expand the knowledge and applicability of MHPs to organic reactions, since perovskites offer a rich variety of tuning strategies which may be explored to improve reaction yields and selectivities.

The catalytic activity of the complexes (1–3) were tested for the oxidation of various alkenes (cyclooctene, cyclohexene, styrene, α-methyl styrene, and norbornene) applying tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidizing agent, and it was found that they were acceptable catalysts. Under the optimized reaction conditions, CuL complex displayed 94% conversion for the oxidation of cyclooctene, and CoL and NiL complexes exhibited 90 and 85% conversions for oxidizing α-methyl styrene, respectively. Based on our density functional computations, diffuse functions are compulsory in the basis set for geometry optimization of these systems. Therefore, the most stable structures and the vibrational frequencies were calculated at the M06-2X/6–311++G(d,p) level. By establishing the correlation between observed and calculated frequencies, the assignment of the vibrational modes was performed. Based on natural charge analysis (NAO), the back electron transfer from ML to the TBHP breaks the O–O bond and facilitates the formation of tert-butoxyl radicals.

- Reactions of Sodium Diisopropylamide: Liquid-Phase and Solid-Liquid Phase-Transfer Catalysis by N, N, N′, N″, N″-Pentamethyldiethylenetriamine
-
Sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) in N,N-dimethylethylamine (DMEA) and DMEA-hydrocarbon mixtures with added N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA) reacts with alkyl halides, epoxides, hydrazones, arenes, alkenes, and allyl ethers. Comparisons of PMDTA with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) accompanied by detailed rate and computational studies reveal the importance of the trifunctionality and κ2-κ3 hemilability. Rate studies show exclusively monomer-based reactions of 2-bromooctane, cyclooctene oxide, and dimethylresorcinol. Catalysis with 10 mol % PMDTA shows up to >30-fold accelerations (kcat > 300) with no evidence of inhibition over 10 turnovers. Solid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis (SLPTC) is explored as a means to optimize the catalysis as well as explore the merits of heterogeneous reaction conditions.

- Activation of H2O2over Zr(IV). Insights from Model Studies on Zr-Monosubstituted Lindqvist Tungstates
-
Zr-monosubstituted Lindqvist-type polyoxometalates (Zr-POMs), (Bu4N)2[W5O18Zr(H2O)3] (1) and (Bu4N)6[{W5O18Zr(μ-OH)}2] (2), have been employed as molecular models to unravel the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide activation over Zr(IV) sites. Compounds 1 and 2 are hydrolytically stable and catalyze the epoxidation of C?C bonds in unfunctionalized alkenes and α,β-unsaturated ketones, as well as sulfoxidation of thioethers. Monomer 1 is more active than dimer 2. Acid additives greatly accelerate the oxygenation reactions and increase oxidant utilization efficiency up to >99%. Product distributions are indicative of a heterolytic oxygen transfer mechanism that involves electrophilic oxidizing species formed upon the interaction of Zr-POM and H2O2. The interaction of 1 and 2 with H2O2 and the resulting peroxo derivatives have been investigated by UV-vis, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS, and combined HPLC-ICP-atomic emission spectroscopy techniques. The interaction between an 17O-enriched dimer, (Bu4N)6[{W5O18Zr(μ-OCH3)}2] (2′), and H2O2 was also analyzed by 17O NMR spectroscopy. Combining these experimental studies with DFT calculations suggested the existence of dimeric peroxo species [(μ-?2:?2-O2){ZrW5O18}2]6- as well as monomeric Zr-hydroperoxo [W5O18Zr(?2-OOH)]3- and Zr-peroxo [HW5O18Zr(?2-O2)]3- species. Reactivity studies revealed that the dimeric peroxo is inert toward alkenes but is able to transfer oxygen atoms to thioethers, while the monomeric peroxo intermediate is capable of epoxidizing C?C bonds. DFT analysis of the reaction mechanism identifies the monomeric Zr-hydroperoxo intermediate as the real epoxidizing species and the corresponding α-oxygen transfer to the substrate as the rate-determining step. The calculations also showed that protonation of Zr-POM significantly reduces the free-energy barrier of the key oxygen-transfer step because of the greater electrophilicity of the catalyst and that dimeric species hampers the approach of alkene substrates due to steric repulsions reducing its reactivity. The improved performance of the Zr(IV) catalyst relative to Ti(IV) and Nb(V) catalysts is respectively due to a flexible coordination environment and a low tendency to form energy deep-well and low-reactive Zr-peroxo intermediates.

- Structural elucidation, DFT calculations and catalytic activity of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with N–N donor ligand: Role of halogen atom coordinated to the molybdenum centre
-
Two new isostructural mononuclear dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the formula MoO2X2L [where, X = Cl (1), Br (2)] have been synthesized with a N–N donor 2-(3-methyl-5-phenyl pyrazol-1-yl) benzthiazole ligand (L). The reaction is carried out in open air and the MoVO3+ centre in the precursor molecule, MoOX3L undergoes spontaneous aerial oxidation, leading to the formation of molybdenum(VI) complexes 1 and 2. The complexes are characterized by a wide range of spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV–Vis and 1H NMR) and elemental analyses. Crystal structures of the ligand and complexes 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction which reveal a distorted octahedral geometry around the molybdenum(VI) centre in both the complexes. The ligand and the complexes build up fascinating supramolecular assembly via several non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonding, C–H···π and π···π interactions. Further, a detailed study of Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots of complexes 1 and 2 are presented for understanding the intermolecular interactions involved in building self-assembled frameworks. Supportive DFT and TD-DFT calculations have also been carried out. Electrochemical properties of the complexes have been examined by cyclic voltammetry. Catalytic performance of the synthesized complexes has been evaluated for the oxidation of different olefins in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.

- Replacement of volatile acetic acid by solid sio2@cooh silica (Nano)beads for (ep)oxidation using mn and fe complexes containing bpmen ligand
-
Mn and Fe BPMEN complexes showed excellent reactivity in catalytic oxidation with an excess of co-reagent (CH3COOH). In the straight line of a cleaner catalytic system, volatile acetic acid was replaced by SiO2 (nano)particles with two different sizes to which pending carboxylic functions were added (SiO2@COOH). The SiO2@COOH beads were obtained by the functionaliza-tion of SiO2 with pending nitrile functions (SiO2@CN) followed by CN hydrolysis. All complexes and silica beads were characterized by NMR, infrared, DLS, TEM, X-ray diffraction. The replacement of CH3COOH by SiO2@COOH (100 times less on molar ratio) has been evaluated for (ep)oxi-dation on several substrates (cyclooctene, cyclohexene, cyclohexanol) and discussed in terms of activity and green metrics.

- Liquid-Phase Cyclohexene Oxidation with O2 over Spray-Flame-Synthesized La1?xSrxCoO3 Perovskite Nanoparticles
-
La1?xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) nanoparticles were prepared by spray-flame synthesis and applied in the liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular O2 as oxidant under mild conditions. The catalysts were systematically characterized by state-of-the-art techniques. With increasing Sr content, the concentration of surface oxygen vacancy defects increases, which is beneficial for cyclohexene oxidation, but the surface concentration of less active Co2+ was also increased. However, Co2+ cations have a superior activity towards peroxide decomposition, which also plays an important role in cyclohexene oxidation. A Sr doping of 20 at. % was found to be the optimum in terms of activity and product selectivity. The catalyst also showed excellent reusability over three catalytic runs; this can be attributed to its highly stable particle size and morphology. Kinetic investigations revealed first-order reaction kinetics for temperatures between 60 and 100 °C and an apparent activation energy of 68 kJ mol?1 for cyclohexene oxidation. Moreover, the reaction was not affected by the applied O2 pressure in the range from 10 to 20 bar. In situ attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the conversion of cyclohexene and the formation of reaction products including the key intermediate cyclohex-2-ene-1-hydroperoxide; spin trap electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy provided strong evidence for a radical reaction pathway by identifying the cyclohexenyl alkoxyl radical.

- Catalytic Performance of Zr-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks Zr-abtc and MIP-200 in Selective Oxidations with H2O2
-
The catalytic performance of Zr-abtc and MIP-200 metal–organic frameworks consisting of 8-connected Zr6 clusters and tetratopic linkers was investigated in H2O2-based selective oxidations and compared with that of 12-coordinated UiO-66 and UiO-67. Zr-abtc demonstrated advantages in both substrate conversion and product selectivity for epoxidation of electron-deficient C=C bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketones. The significant predominance of 1,2-epoxide in carvone epoxidation, coupled with high sulfone selectivity in thioether oxidation, points to a nucleophilic oxidation mechanism over Zr-abtc. The superior catalytic performance in the epoxidation of unsaturated ketones correlates with a larger amount of weak basic sites in Zr-abtc. Electrophilic activation of H2O2 can also be realized, as evidenced by the high activity of Zr-abtc in epoxidation of the electron-rich C=C bond in caryophyllene. XRD and FTIR studies confirmed the retention of the Zr-abtc structure after the catalysis. The low activity of MIP-200 in H2O2-based oxidations is most likely related to its specific hydrophilicity, which disfavors adsorption of organic substrates and H2O2.

- Synergy of carbon defect and transition metal on tungsten carbides for boosting the selective cleavage of aryl ether C[sbnd]O bond
-
Transition-metal carbides are attractive heterogeneous catalysts for the transformation of lignin-derived compounds. However, the effects of the surface carbon defect (C-defect) remain unclear due to coke deposition and exposed C terminations. Herein, we transform inert tungsten carbides (WC) into active catalysts via surficial C-etching using transition metals in the presence of H2. An optimized 1% Pt–WC catalyst with synergy of Pt and C-defects can perform a 78.6% conversion in the selective hydrogenolysis of guaiacol to phenol with 89.0% selectivity at 300 °C, while the intact WC only gives a 7.1% guaiacol conversion with 51.0% phenol selectivity under the same conditions. As a result, the 1% Pt–WC catalyst exhibits 19-fold higher reaction rate and 12.6-fold higher turnover frequency than those of WC. Moreover, no substantial loss of catalytic performance has been observed with 1% Pt–WC for 50 h on stream. A rational reaction pathway is accordingly proposed through in-depth characterizations.

- Chiral cis-dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes with Schiff bases possessing two alkoxide groups: Synthesis, structure, spectroscopic studies and their catalytic activity in sulfoxidation and epoxidation
-
New chiral mononuclear cis-dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes, [MoO2(HL1-9)] and [MoO2(HL10)(CH3OH)], have been synthesized by the reaction of MoO2(acac)2 with tetradentate Schiff bases derived from various substituted salicylaldehydes and R(+)-3-amino-1,2-propanediol. All complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, circular dichroism, electronic, IR and NMR (1H, 13C) spectroscopy. The molecular and crystal structure of [MoO2(HL10)(CH3OH)] elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a six-coordinate distorted octahedral geometry and coordination of methanol molecule leaving one hydroxyl group uncoordinated. Surprisingly, NMR measurements made for [MoO2(HL1-9)] undoubtedly show that Schiff bases behave as dibasic tetradentate ONOO donor ligands and no solvent coordination has been observed. The catalytic activity studies have been also performed for all complexes in asymmetric sulfoxidation of thioanisole and epoxidation of styrene, cyclohexene and two monoterpenes, i.e. S(?)-limonene and (?)-α-pinene, using aqueous 30% H2O2 or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxygen source.

- Immobilization of gold on short-channel mesoporous SBA-15 functionalized with thiol and hydrophobic groups for oxidation reactions
-
Nanosized gold entities immobilized on short-channel SBA-15 mesoporous materials functionalized solely with mercaptopropyl groups and together with propyl and octyl moieties have been prepared following a two-steps procedure. These materials have been used as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen in liquid phase at atmospheric pressure. First, SBA-15 materials functionalized only with mercaptopropyl groups and with a combination of these groups with two hydrophobic moieties, namely propyl and octyl, have been synthesized in the presence of the non-ionic surfactant P104. Small particles having short channel length have been identified by TEM and SEM. In order to study the influence of the nature of the sulphur functional group, these S-bearing materials were also oxidized with hydrogen peroxide or dimethyldioxirane (DMD) to sulfonic groups prior to gold immobilization. The effectiveness of these oxidation methods was assessed by 29Si MAS NMR, 13C CP MAS NMR, XPS, chemical and thermal analysis, and it has been found that DMD oxidized efficiently thiol groups to sulfonic groups, but H2O2 leaves a fraction of unreacted thiol. In a second step, nanosized gold entities have been prepared by a two-liquid phases route involving rosemary oil as organic phase and an aqueous phase formed by dissolving gold in a solution of ammonium chloride in concentrated nitric acid (aqua regia). Following this method, a fraction of the Au dissolved in the aqua regia solution is spontaneously reduced and transferred to the essential oil phase. Upon contacting the gold-bearing organic layer with the mesoporous materials, gold is actually immobilized on them, rendering metal contents in the range 1.1-0.2 wt.percent, being those functionalized with alkyl chains the least efficient in capturing gold from the organic phase. No surface plasmon resonance band at 520 nm characteristic of gold nanoparticles has been detected by UV–vis spectroscopy in these Au-containing materials. All of them are active and selective for the allylic oxidation of cyclohexene, but their specific activity varies as a function of the nature of the functional groups. It has been found that the most active catalysts are those pre-oxidized with DMD. The presence of hydrophobic octyl groups increases substantially the turnover number of the reaction (TON), while the short-chain propyl moieties hardly affect the activity. It has been found that the nanosized gold entities initially present in the catalysts evolve in the reaction medium towards the formation of nanoparticles.

- Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Inside Carbon Nanoreactors for Selective Allylic Oxidation of Cyclohexene
-
The confinement of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles within hollow carbon nanostructures has been achieved and harnessed to control the oxidation of cyclohexene. Graphitized carbon nanofibers (GNF) have been used as the nanoscale tubular host and filled by sublimation of the Ce(tmhd)4 complex (where tmhd = tetrakis(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)) into the internal cavity, followed by a subsequent thermal decomposition to yield the hybrid nanostructure CeO2?GNF, where nanoparticles are preferentially immobilized at the internal graphitic step-edges of the GNF. Control over the size of the CeO2 nanoparticles has been demonstrated within the range of about 4-9 nm by varying the mass ratio of the Ce(tmhd)4 precursor to GNF during the synthesis. CeO2?GNF was effective in promoting the allylic oxidation of cyclohexene in high yield with time-dependent control of product selectivity at a comparatively low loading of CeO2 of 0.13 mol %. Unlike many of the reports to date where ceria catalyzes such organic transformations, we found the encapsulated CeO2 to play the key role of radical initiator due to the presence of Ce3+ included in the structure, with the nanotube acting as both a host, preserving the high performance of the CeO2 nanoparticles anchored at the GNF step-edges over multiple uses, and an electron reservoir, maintaining the balance of Ce3+ and Ce4+ centers. Spatial confinement effects ensure excellent stability and recyclability of CeO2?GNF nanoreactors.

- Selective Hydroperoxygenation of Olefins Realized by a Coinage Multimetallic 1-Nanometer Catalyst
-
The science of particles on a sub-nanometer (ca. 1 nm) scale has attracted worldwide attention. However, it has remained unexplored because of the technical difficulty in the precise synthesis of sub-nanoparticles (SNPs). We recently developed the “atom-hybridization method (AHM)” for the precise synthesis of SNPs by using a suitably designed macromolecule as a template. We have now investigated the chemical reactivity of alloy SNPs obtained by the AHM. Focusing on the coinage metal elements, we systematically evaluated the oxidation reaction of an olefin catalyzed by these SNPs. The SNPs showed high catalytic performance even under milder conditions than those used with conventional catalysts. Additionally, the hybridization of multiple elements enhanced the turnover frequency and the selectivity for the formation of the hydroperoxide derivative. We discuss the unique quantum-sized catalysts providing generally unstable hydroperoxides from the viewpoint of the miniaturization and hybridization of materials.

- Effect of Ligand Fields on the Reactivity of O2-Activating Iron(II)-Benzilate Complexes of Neutral N5 Donor Ligands
-
Three new iron(II)-benzilate complexes [(N4Py)FeII(benzilate)]ClO4 (1), [(N4PyMe2)FeII(benzilate)]ClO4 (2) and [(N4PyMe4)FeII(benzilate)]ClO4 (3) of neutral pentadentate nitrogen donor ligands have been isolated and characterized to study their dioxygen reactivity. Single-crystal X-ray structures reveal a mononuclear six-coordinate iron(II) center in each case, where benzilate binds to the iron center in monodentate mode via one carboxylate oxygen. Introduction of methyl groups in the 6-positions of the pyridine rings makes the N4PyMe2 and N4PyMe4 ligand fields weaker compared to that of the parent N4Py ligand. All the complexes (1–3) react with dioxygen to decarboxylate the coordinated benzilate to benzophenone quantitatively. The decarboxylation is faster for the complex of the more sterically hindered ligand and follows the order 3>2>1. The complexes display oxygen atom transfer reactivity to thioanisole and also exhibit hydrogen atom transfer reactions with substrates containing weak C?H bonds. Based on interception studies with external substrates, labelling experiments and Hammett analysis, a nucleophilic iron(II)-hydroperoxo species is proposed to form upon two-electron reductive activation of dioxygen by each iron(II)-benzilate complex. The nucleophilic oxidants are converted to the corresponding electrophilic iron(IV)-oxo oxidant upon treatment with a protic acid. The high-spin iron(II)-benzilate complex with the weakest ligand field results in the formation of a more reactive iron-oxygen oxidant.

- Biochar as supporting material for heterogeneous Mn(II) catalysts: Efficient olefins epoxidation with H2O2
-
A novel type of hybrid catalytic materials [MnII-L?BC] has been developed using biochar (BC) as support material for covalent grafting of a MnII Schiff-base catalyst (MnII-L). The hybrid [MnII-L?BC] materials have been evaluated for an important catalytic process, epoxidation of olefins using H2O2 as oxidant. A number of different substrates were used, with cyclohexene achieving the highest yields. When compared to the non-grafted, homogeneous MnII-L, the hybrid catalysts [MnII-L?BC] show a significant enhancement of the catalytic efficiency i.e. as documented by the increase of Turnover Numbers (TONs) (826 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 822 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]) and Turnover Frequencies (TOFs) (551 h?1 for [MnII-L-SS550ox] and 411 h?1 for [MnII-L-SW550ox]). The interfacial catalytic mechanism and the role of the BC support have been analyzed by Raman and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopies. Based on these data we discuss a mechanism where the high efficiency of the hybrid materials involves the biochar carbon layers acting as promoters of the substrate and products kinetics. To a broader context, this work exemplifies that biochar-based hybrid materials are potent for oxidative catalysis technologies.

- Diethylsilane as a Powerful Reagent in Au Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Reductive Transformations
-
Diethylsilane (Et2SiH2), a simple and readily available dihydrosilane, that exhibits superior reactivity, as compared to monohydrosilanes, in a series of reductive transformations catalyzed by recyclable and reusable Au nanoparticles (1 mol-%) supported on TiO2. It reduces aldehydes or ketones almost instantaneously at ambient conditions. It can be used in a one pot rapid reductive amination procedure, in which premixing of aldehyde and amine is required prior to the addition of the reducing agent and the catalyst, even in a protic solvent. An unprecedented method for the synthesis of N-arylisoindolines is also shown in the reductive amination between o-phthalaldehyde and anilines. In this transformation, it is proposed that the intermediate N,2-diphenylisoindolin-1-imines are reduced stepwise to the isoindolines. Finally, Et2SiH2 readily reduces amides into amines in excellent yields and shorter reaction times relative to previously known analogous nano Au(0)-catalyzed protocols.

- Sustainable Palladium-Catalyzed Tsuji-Trost Reactions Enabled by Aqueous Micellar Catalysis
-
Palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution, or "Tsuji-Trost"reactions, can be run under micellar catalysis conditions featuring not only chemistry in water but also numerous combinations of reaction partners that require low levels of palladium, typically on the order of 1000 ppm (0.1 mol %). These couplings are further characterized by especially mild conditions, leading to a number of cases not previously reported in an aqueous micellar medium. Inclusion of diverse nucleophiles, such as N-H heterocycles, alcohols, dicarbonyl compounds, and sulfonamides is described. Intramolecular cyclizations further illustrate the broad utility of this process. In addition to recycling studies, a multigram scale example is reported, indicative of the prospects for scale up.

Crystal structures of complexes 1, 2 and 4 have been determined, and structure of complex 3 has been optimized by DFT method. The 1,4-diazabutadiene ligand in each complex is bound to ruthenium as a N,N-donor forming five-membered chelate. Complexes 1–4 catalyze transfer hydrogenation of aryl aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols with high (ca. 106) TON. They are also found to catalyze transfer hydrogenation of aryl ketones to corresponding secondary alcohols, but with much less efficiency. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to the corresponding amines has also been achieved.

- Cyclohexene epoxidation with H2O2in the vapor and liquid phases over a vanadium-based metal-organic framework
-
A metal-organic framework, MIL-47(V) containing coordinatively saturated V+IV sites linked together by terephthalic linkers, was prepared by a solvothermal method and evaluated as a catalyst in the epoxidation of cyclohexene. We have compared the catalytic activity in the condensed and gas phase oxidation of cyclohexene to discuss the effect of temperature and reaction phase in cyclohexene epoxidation over MIL-47(V). The catalysts were examined for the epoxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 at 50, 65, 120, and 150 °C. We observed significant differences in product selectivity between liquid-phase and gas-phase operations and confirmed that the active sites are tightly incorporated into the MOF as node channels and thus resistant to leaching.

A dimeric copper(II) complex, bis{(2-[1-(aminoethylimino)ethyl]-phenoxo}-di-μ1,1-azido-dicopper(II), [Cu2(L)2(μ2-1,1-N3)2] (1) [L = 2-[1-(aminoethylimino)ethyl]-phenoxo ion], has been isolated using a self-assembly reaction using a 1:1:1 molar ratio of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, HL and NaN3 in methanol at room temperature and characterized through X-ray diffraction analysis and spectroscopic studies. X-ray structural analysis reveals that 1 consists of two distinct dinuclear molecular units, where each copper(II) center in the individual dinuclear unit adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a CuN4O chromophore ligated through a tridentate (NNO) Schiff base and two N atoms of two different bridging azides in μ1,1-mode. Two Cu(II) centers are linked through double μ2-1,1-N3 bridges to form the dinuclear unit [Cu2(L)2(μ2-1,1-N3)2]. In the crystalline state, the dinuclear units in 1 are associated through weak intermolecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds to afford a 2-D sheet structure viewed along the crystallographic a-axis. The small magnitude of the antiferromagnetic interaction (J = –0.45 cm?1) is a result of the long Cu···Cu separation (3.205(2) ?). The catalytic efficacy of 1 was studied in a series of solvents for the epoxidation of alkenes using tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an efficient oxidant under mild conditions.

- Demonstrating the Critical Role of Solvation in Supported Ti and Nb Epoxidation Catalysts via Vapor-Phase Kinetics
-
Catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been of the utmost importance for several decades. The vast majority of studies have been performed in the condensed phase, even though condensed phases introduce complex solvent effects and can promote the leaching of active sites. In response, we have built a custom reactor system to understand H2O2 activation and selective oxidation in the vapor-phase. In this report, we study the epoxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2 over four Lewis-acidic metal oxide catalysts: Ti and Nb grafted on SiO2 and on the Zr based metal-organic framework, NU-1000. The M-SiO2 materials are highly selective to the formation of epoxides and diols, as they can be in the condensed phase, while the NU-1000 based materials are far more prone to overoxidation to CO2, which appears to be connected to their strong reactant adsorption. Apparent activation energies are calculated for all materials when operating in the same kinetic regime, and the heats of cyclohexene adsorption into their pores are then used to directly compare intrinsic enthalpies of activation in the vapor vs condensed phase for the M-SiO2 catalysts. Nb-SiO2 catalysts exhibit similar intrinsic enthalpies of activation in the vapor and condensed phases, whereas the condensed phase transition state in Ti-SiO2 is 24 kJ/mol lower in energy than that of the same material in the vapor phase. These experiments establish another methodology for understanding the various roles of solvent in selective oxidation reactions and studying these reactions under conditions that differ significantly from the thousands of prior studies in the condensed phase.

- Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene by supported gold nanoclusters synthesized in a two-liquid phases system containing eucalyptus essential oil
-
Gold nanoclusters (d p = 6.3 nm, 3.5 wt% S) was contacted with aliquots of the Au-containing essential oil phase taken at 1, 3, 6 and 8 days of contact time between both phases. In this way, gold was immobilized on the support, ranging from 0.4 wt% for the 1-day sample, to 2.7 wt% in the 3-days material. UV–vis spectra show the presence of gold nanoclusters in these samples, but the surface plasmon resonance at 520 cm?1, characteristic of Au nanoparticles, was not detected save for the 3-days sample. 13C MAS NMR and TG evidence that the thiol groups of the support remain mostly unaltered for the 1-day sample, but oxidation to sulfonic acid groups becomes apparent for contact time > 3 days, and reaches nearly 60 % of the total sulphur species after 8 days of contact time as estimated from XPS analysis. The Au-SH-bearing catalyst is inactive for cyclohexene oxidation with molecular oxygen in liquid phase, but those having sulfonic groups are active and selective for its allylic oxidation. It has been found for the 8-day catalyst that the gold nanoclusters partially evolve spontaneously in the reaction medium to form gold nanoparticles, and this agglomeration process parallels the increase in catalyst activity.

- Selective cyclohexene oxidation with O2, H2O2and: Tert -butyl hydroperoxide over spray-flame synthesized LaCo1- x Fex O3nanoparticles
-
The elimination of waste and by-product generation and reduced dependence on hazardous chemicals are the key steps towards environmentally sustainable chemical transformations. Heterogeneously catalysed oxidation of cyclohexene with environmentally friendly oxidizing agents such as O2, H2O2 and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) has great potential to replace existing processes using stoichiometric oxidants. A series of spray-flame synthesised nanoparticulate LaCo1-xFexO3 catalysts was employed for cyclohexene oxidation, and the comparative results showed that TBHP led to the highest initial activity and allylic selectivity, but O2 resulted in higher conversion for longer reaction times. Furthermore, the influence of Fe substitution was studied, which did not show any beneficial synergistic effects. LaCoO3 was found to be the optimum catalyst for cyclohexene oxidation with O2, following first-order reaction kinetics with an apparent activation energy of 57 kJ mol-1. The catalyst showed good reusability due to its highly stable particle size, morphology and perovskite structure. 7-Oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-one was identified to be formed by the oxidation of 2-cyclohexene-1-one with 2-cyclohexene-1-hydroperoxide.

- Influence of the channel size of isostructural 3d-4f MOFs on the catalytic aerobic oxidation of cycloalkenes
-
The present work reports a new group of heterogeneous catalysts with a 3D structure, CuLnIDA, {[Cu3Ln2(IDA)6]·8H2O} (Ln: LaIII, GdIII or YbIII), with an organic linker (H2IDA: iminodiacetic acid). Different sets of O2 pressure and time were used in order to obtain the optimal reaction conditions at 75 °C. The reaction was found to depend on the [aldehyde]/[substrate] ratio. The best results, with a conversion of 73% for CuLaIDA as the catalyst, were obtained for the smallest ratio of 0.2. Finally, the importance of the pore size was analysed by comparing the catalytic activity of the as formed catalyst with that of the thermally activated one. The conversion increased ca. 26-35% for the different catalysts when they were previously activated. In addition, the selectivity increased towards cyclohexenone. The use of molecular oxygen as the oxidizing agent in a system where an auxiliary solvent is not used, as the cyclohexene substrate and products play the role of a solvent, permitted us to generate a more friendly environmental system for the oxidation of cycloalkenes under mild conditions.

- Magnetically separable and reusable rGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites for the selective liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene to 1,2-cyclohexane diol
-
A series of magnetically separable rGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites with various amounts of graphene oxide were successfully prepared by a simple ultrasonication assisted precipitation combined with a solvothermal method and their catalytic activity was evaluated for the selective liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexene using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant. The prepared materials were characterized using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, HRTEM, BET/BJH, XPS and VSM analysis. The presence of well crystallized Fe3O4 as the active iron species was seen in the crystal studies of the nanocomposites. The electron microscopy analysis indicated the fine surface dispersion of spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the thin surface layers of partially-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. The decoration of Fe3O4 nanospheres on thin rGO layers was clearly observable in all of the nanocomposites. The XPS analysis was performed to evaluate the chemical states of the elements present in the samples. The surface area of the nanocomposites was increased significantly by increasing the amount of GO and the pore structures were effectively tuned by the amount of rGO in the nanocomposites. The magnetic saturation values of the nanocomposites were found to be sufficient for their efficient magnetic separation. The catalytic activity results show that the cyclohexene conversion reached 75.3% with a highest 1,2-cyclohexane diol selectivity of 81% over 5% rGO incorporated nanocomposite using H2O2 as the oxidant and acetonitrile as the solvent at 70 °C for 6 h. The reaction conditions were further optimized by changing the variables and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. The enhanced catalytic activity of the nanocomposites for cyclohexene oxidation could be attributed to the fast accomplishment of the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox cycle in the composites due the sacrificial role of rGO and its synergistic effect with Fe3O4, originating from the conjugated network of π-electrons in its surface structure. The rapid and easy separation of the magnetic nanocomposites from the reaction mixture using an external magnet makes the present catalysts highly efficient for the reaction. Moreover, the catalyst retained its activity for five repeated runs without any drastic drop in the reactant conversion and product selectivity.

- Trapping of a Highly Reactive Oxoiron(IV) Complex in the Catalytic Epoxidation of Olefins by Hydrogen Peroxide
-
The generation of a nonheme oxoiron(IV) intermediate, [(cyclam)FeIV(O)(CH3CN)]2+ (2; cyclam=1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), is reported in the reactions of [(cyclam)FeII]2+ with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or a soluble iodosylbenzene (sPhIO) as a rare example of an oxoiron(IV) species that shows a preference for epoxidation over allylic oxidation in the oxidation of cyclohexene. Complex 2 is kinetically and catalytically competent to perform the epoxidation of olefins with high stereo- and regioselectivity. More importantly, 2 is likely to be the reactive intermediate involved in the catalytic epoxidation of olefins by [(cyclam)FeII]2+ and H2O2. In spite of the predominance of the oxoiron(IV) cores in biology, the present study is a rare example of high-yield isolation and spectroscopic characterization of a catalytically relevant oxoiron(IV) intermediate in chemical oxidation reactions.

- 4,6-Diacetyl Resorcinol Based Vanadium(V) Complexes: Reactivity and Catalytic Applications
-
Four ONO donor ligands are isolated from the condensation of 4,6-diacetyl resorcinol with isonicotinoyl hydrazide (H2dar-inh, I), nicotinoyl hydrazide (H2dar-nah, II), benzoyl hydrazide (H2dar-bhz, III), and 2-furoyl hydrazide (H2dar-fah, IV) on refluxing in MeOH. The reaction of in situ generated aqueous K[H2VVO4] with ligands I–IV at neutral pH gives complexes [K(H2O)2][VO2(dar-inh)] (1), [K(H2O)2][VO2(dar-nah)] (2), [K(H2O)2][VO2(dar-bhz)] (3), and [K(H2O)2][VO2(dar-fah)] (4), respectively. The reaction of [VIVO(acac)2] (acac = acetylacetonato) with these ligands (I–IV) under aerobic conditions in methanol yields oxidomethoxidovanadium(V) complexes [VO(OMe)(MeOH)(dar-inh)] (5), [VO(OMe)(MeOH)(dar-nah)] (6), [VO(OMe)(MeOH)(dar-bhz)] (7), and [VO(OMe)(MeOH)(dar-fah)] (8). All the isolated complexes are characterized by elemental, thermal, electrochemical, and spectroscopic techniques [FTIR, UV/Vis, NMR (1H, 13C and 51V NMR)], and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (for 1, 6, 7, and 8). X-ray analysis confirms the coordination of the ligands through Ophenolate, Nazomethine, and Oenolate to the metal center. In the molecular structure of [K(H2O)(EtOH)][VVO2(dar-inh)] (abbreviated as 1a where one molecule of water is replaced by EtOH), water molecules act as bridges between two K+ ions and the complex shows a dimeric structure due to the presence of electrostatic interactions between V=O oxygen atoms with K+ ions. These complexes are active catalysts for the oxidative bromination of thymol in the presence of KBr, HClO4, and H2O2 and give 2-bromothymol, 4-bromothymol, and 2,4-dibromothymol as major products. Complexes 1–4 were also tested as catalysts for the epoxidation of various alkenes (namely styrene, cyclohexene, cis-cyclooctene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, cyclohexenone, and trans-stilbene) with H2O2 in the presence of NaHCO3 as promoter, giving the corresponding epoxides selectively.

- Highly Selective and Catalytic Oxygenations of C?H and C=C Bonds by a Mononuclear Nonheme High-Spin Iron(III)-Alkylperoxo Species
-
The reactivity of a mononuclear high-spin iron(III)-alkylperoxo intermediate [FeIII(t-BuLUrea)(OOCm)(OH2)]2+(2), generated from [FeII(t-BuLUrea)(H2O)(OTf)](OTf) (1) [t-BuLUrea=1,1′-(((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)azanediyl)bis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(3-(tert-butyl)urea), OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate] with cumyl hydroperoxide (CmOOH), toward the C?H and C=C bonds of hydrocarbons is reported. 2 oxygenates the strong C?H bonds of aliphatic substrates with high chemo- and stereoselectivity in the presence of 2,6-lutidine. While 2 itself is a sluggish oxidant, 2,6-lutidine assists the heterolytic O?O bond cleavage of the metal-bound alkylperoxo, giving rise to a reactive metal-based oxidant. The roles of the urea groups on the supporting ligand, and of the base, in directing the selective and catalytic oxygenation of hydrocarbon substrates by 2 are discussed.

- Allylic oxidation of olefins with a manganese-based metal-organic framework
-
Selective oxidation of olefins to α,β-unsaturated ketones under mild reaction conditions has attracted considerable interest, since α,β-unsaturated ketones can serve as synthetic precursors for various downstream chemical products. The major inherent challenges with this chemical oxidation are chemo- and regio-selectivity as well as environmental concerns, i.e. catalyst recycle, safety and cost. Using atmospheric oxygen as an environmentally friendly oxidant, we found that a metal-organic framework (MOF) constructed with Mn and a tetrazolate ligand (CPF-5) showed good activity and selectivity for the allylic oxidation of olefins to α,β-unsaturated ketones. Under the optimized conditions, we could achieve 98% conversion of cyclohexene and 87% selectivity toward cyclohexanone. The combination of a substoichiometric amount of TBHP (tert-butylhydroperoxide) and oxygen not only provides a cost effective oxidation system but significantly enhances the selectivity to α,β-unsaturated ketones, outperforming most reported oxidation methods. This catalytic system is heterogeneous in nature, and CPF-5 could be reused at least five times without a significant decrease in its catalytic activity and selectivity.

- Polymer immobilized tantalum(v)-amino acid complexes as selective and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation of olefins and sulfides with aqueous H2O2
-
Polymer supported heterogeneous peroxotantalum(v) catalysts were prepared by anchoring Ta(v)-diperoxo species to chloromethylated poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) resin functionalized with amino acids asparagine (l-Asn) and arginine (l-Arg). The structurally well-defined catalysts, [Ta(O2)2(L)2]--MR, [L = asparagine (catalyst 1) or arginine (catalyst 2) and MR = Merrifield resin], were comprehensively characterized by elemental analysis (CHN, ICP-OES, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), spectral studies (FT-IR, Raman, 13C NMR, diffuse reflectance UV-vis and XPS), SEM, XRD, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The supported peroxotantalum (pTa) compounds displayed excellent catalytic performance in epoxidation of alkenes with 30% H2O2, under solvent free reaction conditions. Styrene was epoxidized with >99% selectivity with the highest TOF of 1040 h-1 obtained within 30 min reaction time, whereas the TOF for norbornene epoxidation was 2000 h-1 within 1 h with >95% epoxide selectivity. Furthermore, the immobilized catalysts facilitated chemoselective oxidation of a broad range of organic sulfides to the desired sulfoxides with H2O2 in methanol, under mild reaction conditions. The oxidations proceeded with a high H2O2 efficiency percentage and are amenable to ready scalability. The heterogeneous catalysts could be easily recovered and reused for several consecutive catalytic cycles with undiminished activity/selectivity profiles in all cases. The developed catalytic strategies are operationally simple and, being free from halogenated solvent or any other toxic auxiliaries, environmentally clean.

- Facile Synthesis of CuO–Ni/Al Composites for Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexene
-
CuO–Ni/Al composites were synthesized by electroless deposition and thermal oxidation and characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their performances as the heterogeneous catalysts for the solvent-free allylic oxidation of cyclohexene by oxygen were determined. It was found that the CuO contents and the amount of adsorbed oxygen species on the composites could significantly affect their catalytic performances in cyclohexene oxidation. The highest catalytic activity was achieved over CuO–Ni/Al-3 containing 18.5?wt% CuO with the highest amount of adsorbed oxygen species, which resulted in the maximum cyclohexene conversion of 39.1% and the total selectivity of 85.5% to 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, 2-cyclohexene-1-one, 2-cyclohexene-1-hydroperoxide and cyclohexene oxide. In addition, the catalyst was successfully recycled with no significant catalytic activity loss after three cycles. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
