- C(acyl)-C(sp2) and C(sp2)-C(sp2) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions using nitrile-functionalized NHC palladium complexes
-
Application of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) palladium complexes has been successful for the modulation of C-C coupling reactions. For this purpose, a series of azolium salts (1a-f) including benzothiazolium, benzimidazolium, and imidazolium, bearing a CN-substituted benzyl moiety, and their (NHC)2PdBr2 (2a-c) and PEPPSI-type palladium (3b-f) complexes have been systematically prepared to catalyse acylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of acyl chlorides with arylboronic acids to form benzophenone derivatives in the presence of potassium carbonate as a base and to catalyse the traditional Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of bromobenzene with arylboronic acids to form biaryls. All the synthesized compounds were fully characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals of 3c, 3e and 3f prove the square planar geometry. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), metal mapping analyses and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were performed to get further insights into the mechanism of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the stability and coordination of the complexes by the CN group are achieved by the removal of pyridine from the complex in catalytic cycles. The presence of the CN group in the (NHC)Pd complexes significantly increased the catalytic activities for both reactions.

- Homogeneous Palladium-Catalyzed Selective Reduction of 2,2′-Biphenols Using HCO 2H as Hydrogen Source
-
An efficient homogeneous palladium-catalyzed selective deoxygenation of 2,2′-biphenols by reduction of aryl triflates with HCO 2H as the hydrogen source is reported. This protocol complements the current method based on heterogeneous Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation with hydrogen gas. This process provided the reduction products in good to excellent yields, which could be readily converted to various synthetically useful molecules, especially ligands for catalytic synthesis.

- Pd(II) complexes with ONN pincer ligand: Tailored synthesis, characterization, DFT, and catalytic activity toward the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction
-
A pincer type ONN tridentate Schiff base ligand, 2-(((pyridin-2-yl)methylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol, (L1) synthesized by the condensation of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde and (pyridin-2-yl)methanamine. The ligand L1 and the new Pd(II) heteroleptic complexes of the composition [Pd(L1)(L2)]Cl, where L2 = benzimidazole, imidazole, benzooxazol or pyridine were synthesized and characterized by a set of chemical, spectrometric and spectroscopic analyses. These complexes were named 1 to 4, respectively. The FT-IR and DFT have suggested that ligand is coordinated with metal through azomethine-N and phenolic-O and arranged in square planar fashion around the metal. Correlation coefficients value between 0.995 - 0.993 shows satisfactory agreement in theoretical and experimental 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Benzimidazole anchored complex 1 exhibits an excellent catalytic activity. DFT calculated the energy profile diagram of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.

- From the grafting of NHC-based Pd(II) complexes onto TiO2 to the in situ generation of Mott-Schottky heterojunctions: The boosting effect in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Do the evolved Pd NPs act as reservoirs?
-
The assumption that the real active species involved in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction are homogeneous, heterogeneous or both is often proposed. However a lack of characterization of the true catalytic entities and their monitoring makes assumptions somewhat elusive. Here, with the aim of getting new insights into the formation of active species in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, a family of palladium(II) complexes bearing bis(NHC) ligands was synthesized for immobilization at the surface of TiO2. The studies reveal that once the complexes are anchored onto TiO2, the mechanism governing the catalytic reaction is different from that observed for the non-anchored complexes. All complexes evolved to Pd NPs at the surface of TiO2 under reaction conditions and released Pd species in the liquid phase. Also, this reactivity was boosted by the in situ generation of Mott-Schottky heterojunctions, opening new routes towards the design of heterogenized catalysts for their further implementation in reverse-flow reactors.

- Microflowers formed by complexation-driven self-assembly between palladium(ii) and bis-theophyllines: Immortal catalyst for C-C cross-coupling reactions
-
The Pd catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura or the other C-C coupling reactions is one of the central tools in organic synthesis related to medicine, agricultural chemicals and advanced materials. However, recycling palladium is a bottleneck for developing the extreme potential of Pd in chemistry. Herein, we established a new heterogeneous Pd catalytic system in which the catalyst is a nanopetal-gathered flower-like microsphere self-assembled from PdCl2 and alkyl-linked bis-theophyllines. The microflowers catalyzed quantitatively the reaction of aryl bromides and phenylboronic acid in aqueous media at room temperature. It was found that the reaction proceeds better in an air atmosphere than in nitrogen gas even though the Pd(ii) species employed was lowered to 0.001 mol% in the substance. Very interestingly, the microflowers could be recycled 20 times without deactivation in the C-C coupling reaction between bromobenzene and phenylboronic acid in the presence of sodium chloride. We found that the sodium chloride added played an important role in maintaining the morphology of microflowers and preventing the formation of metallic Pd particles.

- Catalyst-Free Synthesis of O-Heteroacenes by Ladderization of Fluorinated Oligophenylenes
-
A novel catalyst-free approach to benzoannulated oxygen-containing heterocycles from fluorinated oligophenylenes is reported. Unlike existing methods, the presented reaction does not require an oxygen-containing precursor and relies on an external oxygen source, potassium tert-butoxide, which serves as an O2? synthon. The radical nature of the reaction facilitates nucleophilic substitution even in the presence of strong electron-donating groups and enables de-tert-butylation required for the complete annulation. Also demonstrated is the applicability of the method to introduce five-, six-, and seven-membered rings containing oxygen, whereas multiple annulations also open up a short synthetic path to ladder-type O-heteroacenes and oligodibenzofurans.

- Catalytic SNAr Hydroxylation and Alkoxylation of Aryl Fluorides
-
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a powerful strategy for incorporating a heteroatom into an aromatic ring by displacement of a leaving group with a nucleophile, but this method is limited to electron-deficient arenes. We have now established a reliable method for accessing phenols and phenyl alkyl ethers via catalytic SNAr reactions. The method is applicable to a broad array of electron-rich and neutral aryl fluorides, which are inert under classical SNAr conditions. Although the mechanism of SNAr reactions involving metal arene complexes is hypothesized to involve a stepwise pathway (addition followed by elimination), experimental data that support this hypothesis is still under exploration. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggest either a stepwise or stepwise-like energy profile. Notably, we isolated a rhodium η5-cyclohexadienyl complex intermediate with an sp3-hybridized carbon bearing both a nucleophile and a leaving group.

- Unusual Acetonitrile Adduct Formed via Photolysis of 4′-Chloro-2-Hydroxybiphenyl in Aqueous Solution
-
In this work, 2,4′-dichlorobiphenyl (1) yielded 4′-chloro-2-hydroxybiphenyl (2) after photolysis in neutral acetonitrile aqueous (ACN-H2O) solutions. Ultrafast spectroscopic measurements and density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed for 2 in ACN and ACN-H2O (v/v, 1:1). These results were compared with previously published results for 2-hydroxybiphenyl (3). The counterparts 2 and 3 went through a singlet excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in ACN but behaved differently in ACN-H2O with a dehydrochlorination process occurring for 2 and an ESIPT taking place for 3. Computational results indicate that the phenol O-H bond elongates after photoexcitation to induce a concerted asynchronous process with the C-Cl bond increasing first followed by HCl elimination. A biradical intermediate (IM1) is then formed with some spin located at the phenyl 4′-C radical that appears to favor a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process and some spin located on phenoxyl that appears to prefer a subsequent a CH2CN radical rebound. The hydrogen bond promotes HCl elimination, while this is disfavored for ESIPT, making 4′-Cl extrusion the predominant process in ACN-H2O solutions. The mechanistic investigations have fundamental and significant implications for the understanding of polychlorinated biphenyl photolysis in an aqueous environment and hence the photodegradation of these kinds of pollutants in the natural environment.

A series of Pd(II)-enaminone complexes, termed Pd(eao)2, have been synthesized and characterized. The investigation on the catalytic activities of these new Pd(II)-reagents has proved that the Pd(eao)2-1 possesses excellent catalytic activity for the Suzuki- Miyaura cross coupling reactions of aryl bromides/chlorides with aryl/vinyl boronic acids in the environmentally benign media of aqueous PEG400 at low loading (5 mol‰). The superiority of this Pd(II)-reagent to those commercial Pd(II) and Pd(0) catalysts in catalyzing the reactions has been confirmed by parallel experiments. What's more, Pd(eao)2-2 has been found as a practical catalyst for the homo-coupling reactions of aryl boronic acids.

- The role of oxophilic Mo species in Pt/MgO catalysts as extremely active sites for enhanced hydrodeoxygenation of dibenzofuran
-
Pt/MoOx/MgO catalysts were prepared with varying Mo coverage and studied for the selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of dibenzofuran (DBF) to biphenyl (BP), aiming at the elucidation of active sites for HDO. Oxophilic Mo species enrich the reducibility of surface Pt and the acidic sites of catalysts, change the product selectivity and then lead to significant improvement of the deoxygenation activity with an excellent HDO reaction rate (1.06 μmol s-1 g-1) on Pt/7MoOx/MgO compared with that (0.04 μmol s-1 g-1) on Pt/MgO. Moreover, the catalytic performance can be controlled by the MoOx surface density and varied with the increased MoOx surface density in a volcano-shape manner, in which at low Mo coverage (2), dispersed Mo species are dominant attributed to the active sites, and at further higher Mo coverage (>6.19 Mo per nm2), crystalline MoO3 particulates may form that is detrimental to the activity. The highest BP yield (100%) was obtained with Pt/7MoOx/MgO close to Mo coverage of one monolayer. Furthermore, reactivity studies in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the adsorption of dibenzofuran and H2 indicate the synergy of Pt species in affording hydrogen species and adjacent MoOx species in adsorbing/activating C-O bonds suitable for the HDO of DBF.

- Nickel mediated palladium free photocatalytic Suzuki-coupling reaction under visible light irradiation
-
Suzuki coupling is an important, extensively investigated, and manifold approach for C-C bond construction in synthetic chemistry. However, to date, the reaction has been extensively investigated under thermal conditions using palladium-based catalysts. The development of solar light assisted noble-metal free Suzuki coupling represents a green and sustainable approach for such types of reactions. Herein, we describe an efficient, facile, and cost-effective photocatalytic approach for C-C bond formation between aryl halides and phenylboronic acid via Suzuki-cross-coupling using a cobalt(ii) phthalocyanine complex grafted onto a nickel oxide semiconductor at room temperature (RT) and atmospheric pressure. A number of substituted aryl halides have been successfully investigated using the developed protocol and afforded modest to high yields of the desired biphenyls. The possible mechanistic pathway suggested that the formation of photogenerated aryl radical cations from the phenylboronic acid followed by its coupling with aryl radical anions generated from the electron-activated aryl halides resulted in the corresponding biaryls. Importantly, the physical mixture of both components, i.e., CoPc and NiO, showed poor efficiency as compared to the developed hybrid photocatalyst. The recovered photocatalyst could readily be recycled for at least six runs without a significant decrease in the activity.

- Insights into the Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction Catalyzed by Novel Pd?Carbene Complexes. Are Palladium?Tetra- carbene Entities the Key Active Species?
-
The assumption that the real active species involved in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction are homogeneous, heterogeneous or both is often proposed. However a lack in the characterization of true catalytic entities and their monitoring makes assumptions somewhat elusive. Here, three families of palladium(II) complexes bearing bisNHC, bispyridyl and bisphosphine ligands were synthesized in order to get new insights into the formation of active species in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Their comparative catalytic study reveals that the nature of the ligands as well as their spacer lengths are pivotal parameters governing the performance. All complexes evolve to Pd NPs under reaction conditions, and an orthogonal behavior is observed for two bisNHC complexes that form homoleptic tetracarbene species. Notably, these species are presumably involved in a new catalytic modus operandi. This ligand-controlled reactivity and the formation of tetracarbene species open new routes towards the design of novel cross-coupling catalysts via the mastering of highly-active catalytic species.

-
The design, synthesis and characterization of a series of dithioether ligands featuring two di-(2-picolyl)amine arms (2a–2d) and their corresponding cationic dinuclear palladium (II) complexes (3a–d) are reported. Crystal structures of ligand 2b and complexes 3b and 3d were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The molecular structures of 3b and 3d display each of the two di-(2-picolyl)amine fragments coordinated to one palladium(II) atom in a (κ3-N,N,N) tridentate fashion and with the cationic metal centers displaying square-planar geometries. Weak interactions between the metal centers and the thioether fragments are observed. All bimetallic complexes 3a–d were tested as catalytic precursors in the Suzuki couplings of different o- or p-substituted iodo- or bromoaryls with boronic acids. The overall catalytic results indicate that complex 3b is the best precursor of the series demonstrating even more efficient performance compared to commercial palladium sources such as Pd(OAc)2 and the Nájera Catalysts.

- Ni: Vs. Pd in Suzuki-Miyaura sp2-sp2 cross-coupling: A head-to-head study in a comparable precatalyst/ligand system
-
The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is a cornerstone method for sp2-sp2 cross-coupling in industry. There has been a concerted effort to enable the use of Ni catalysis as an alternative to Pd in order to mitigate cost and improve sustainability. Despite significant advances, ligand development for Ni-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling remains underdeveloped when compared to Pd and, as a consequence, ligands for Ni-catalyzed processes are typically taken from the Pd arena. In this study we evaluate the effect of using a similar Ni and Pd precatalyst based on a common bidentate ligand (dppf) in a head-to-head format for the most common type of biaryl couplings, establishing the practical implications of direct replacement of Pd with Ni, and identifying the potential origins of these observations in a mechanistic context.

- Catalytic activity and facile recovery of a cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complex immobilized by non-covalent interactions on reduced graphene oxide
-
The growing concern about the potentially adverse effects of the production of chemical compounds on the sustainable development of the environment has led to a great deal of efforts to search for low-cost and environmentally friendly catalytic systems. A pyrene-tagged N-heterocyclic carbene palladacycle complex ([Pd{(C,N)C6H4CH2NH(Et)}(Imd-P)Br]) was prepared by reacting imidazolium salt with dimer ([Pd2{(C,N)C6H4CH2NH(Et)}2(μ-OAc)2]). Then, it was immobilized onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via π–π stacking forces. The hybrid compound ((NHC)Pd-rGO) was made in a one-step process. Various techniques were employed to characterize the compound. In addition, computational studies were used to verify the interaction between the Pd complex and rGO. The catalytic activity of the molecular complex and hybrid material was evaluated in both Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol. The catalytic activity of the hybrid material was enhanced in comparison with the corresponding homogeneous analogue. Thus, rGO seems to play a significant role in catalytic activity. Hot filtration experiments show the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst resulting from the strong interaction between pyrene and graphene. The hybrid (NHC)Pd-rGO material could be recycled up to six times with no decrease in catalytic activity.

- Adiabatic deprotonation as an important competing pathway to ESIPT in photoacidic 2-phenylphenols
-
ESIPT (Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer) to C atom in 2-phenylphenol is known to be an intrinsically inefficient process. However, to the best of our knowledge, a structure-ESIPT efficiency relationship has not been elucidated yet. Here, we show that there exists a competitive interplay between photoacidity and ESIPT efficiency for the 2-phenylphenol system. The attachment of electron withdrawing groups to the phenol moiety promotes adiabatic deprotonation in the excited state and diminishes the charge transfer character of the excitations, and both these factors contribute in decreasing the ESIPT reaction yield. On the other hand, unfavorable conformational distribution in the ground state also appears as another important aspect responsible for the low ESIPT extent of 2-phenylphenol. A new derivative bearing electron donating, bulky substituents at ortho and para positions of the phenol ring shows an outstanding ESIPT performance, which demonstrates that the efficiency of the process can be significantly enhanced by modifying the substitution pattern. We anticipate that our results will help to guide the molecular designing of new compounds with high ESIPT efficiency.

- ONO pincer palladium (II) complexes featuring furoylhydrazone ligands: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity towards Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

Four new palladium pincer complexes incorporating ONO type furoylhydrazone ligands have been prepared in good yields. These palladium complexes were structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra. X-ray single crystal analyses of Pd1–Pd4 revealed that the metal center adopted a slightly distorted square planar geometry in which the hydrazone bound the metal ion via the phenolic-O, azomethine-N and imidolate-O atoms. Using these ONO pincer complexes as catalyst, excellent yields of biaryls could be obtained for coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl bromides at a low catalyst loading (0.01?mol%).

1. A potentially useful animal model for preclinical studies is the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). In this study, using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction from marmoset livers, we identified a novel cytochrome P450 (P450) 2F1 cDNA with an open reading frame of 1473 bp. 2. High sequence identities of 92-94% with primate P450 2 F amino acid sequences were indicated by deduced amino acid sequences of P450 2F1 cDNA. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that marmoset P450 2F1 is more congruent with primate P450 2 F forms than those of other species such as rodents. 3. Among five tissue types examined, abundant expression of marmoset P450 2F1 mRNA and P450 2F1 protein in lungs was shown. Cynomolgus monkey P450 2F1 mRNA was abundantly expressed in lungs as well as testes and ovaries in 10 tissue types. 4. Similar to those of humans and cynomolgus monkeys, marmoset P450 2F1 heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli membranes efficiently catalyzed 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and biphenyl hydroxylation, however unlike human P450 2F1, marmoset P450 2F1 exhibited hydroxylation activity toward coumarin and chlorzoxazone. 5. These findings indicated that P450 2F1 enzyme expressed in marmoset lungs and also catalyzed metabolism of xenobiotics, suggesting the importance of P450 2 F-dependent drug metabolism in marmoset lungs.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Reductive [5+1] Cycloaddition of 3-Acetoxy-1,4-enynes with CO: Access to Phenols Enabled by Hydrosilanes
-
A new palladium-catalyzed reductive [5+1] cycloaddition of 3-acetoxy-1,4-enynes with CO, enabled by hydrosilanes, has been developed for delivering valuable functionalized phenols. This methodology employs hydrosilanes as the external reagent to facilitate the [5+1] carbonylative benzannulation. The reaction is a conceptually and mechanistically novel carbonylative cycloaddition route for the construction of substituted phenols, through the formation of four new chemical bonds, with excellent functional-group tolerance.

- Synergistic Photo-Copper-Catalyzed Hydroxylation of (Hetero)aryl Halides with Molecular Oxygen
-
Photoredox-mediated copper-catalyzed hydroxylation of (hetero)aryl halides (including chlorides, bromides, and iodides) with O2 at room temperature has been developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate no arylcopper intermediate and that aryl radicals are involved in this procedure. 18O-labeling experiments confirm the hydroxyl oxygen atom originated from molecular oxygen.

- Selective Hydrogenolysis of Dibenzofuran over Highly Efficient Pt/MgO Catalysts to o-Phenylphenol
-
Direct selective hydrogenolysis of dibenzofuran (DBF) derived from coal and shale oil to a value-added chemical, ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), with high selectivity (80%) and yield (48%) has been achieved over Pt/MgO at 400 °C and 1.0 MPa by controlling the C-O bond cleavage as well as minimizing the extent of hydrogenation of aromatic rings. Meanwhile, Pt/SiO2, Pt/Al2O3, and Pt/MgO/Al2O3 catalysts were used for the DBF hydrogenolysis and showed lower selectivity for OPP. The influence of reaction parameters has been studied to unveil the optimal reaction conditions. And the phenomenon of OPP dehydrogenation is found over various catalysts for the hydrogenation reaction of OPP. Extensive reactions and catalyst characterizations demonstrated that the OPP selectivity and the dehydrogenation of OPP to DBF follows the order of supports basicity: MgO-900 > MgO > SiO2 > MgO/Al2O3 > Al2O3, which shows that the acid-base properties of supports impact the adsorption and desorption behaviors of DBF and OPP, and results in the disparity of OPP selectivity and the dehydrogenation of OPP. Finally, a plausible reaction pathway and mechanistic understanding are proposed.

- C70 Fullerene-Catalyzed Metal-Free Photocatalytic ipso-Hydroxylation of Aryl Boronic Acids: Synthesis of Phenols
-
A metal-free C70 fullerene-catalyzed method has been developed for the ipso-hydroxylation of aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids to corresponding phenols under photocatalytic conditions. The reaction proceeds under oxygen atmosphere and the mechanistic study revealed that C70 plays a critical role in the generation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of blue light. Reactions in the presence of 18O-labelled water and oxygen confirmed the generation of reactive oxygen species from oxygen molecule. Amine used as a reductant could be recovered in the form of imine. The current method is also applicable to the synthesis of aryl ethers in one-pot two-step process. (Figure presented.).

- Visible-Light-Mediated Aerobic Oxidation of Organoboron Compounds Using in Situ Generated Hydrogen Peroxide
-
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.

- Bis[ N, N ′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,5-diazacyclooctane as Unique Metal Ligand: Self-Assembly of Palladium Nanoparticles and Catalytic Reactivity on C-C Bond Formation
-
A previously unreported 1,5-diazacyclooctane-palladium(II) complex was synthesized using bis[ N, N ′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,5-diazacyclooctane, which was readily prepared via a novel [4+4] homocyclization of the unsaturated imine intermediate generated from acrolein and 1-amino-2-indanol. Interestingly, the 1,5-diazacyclooctane-palladium(II) complex self-assembled to form palladium nanoparticles. This approach readily provided palladium nanoparticles simply by heating a mixture of palladium(II) acetate and bis[ N, N ′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,4-diazacyclooctane in dichloroethane at mild temperatures. The 1,5-diazacyclooctane-derivative-palladium nanoparticles were successfully deployed in synthetic applications as a heterogeneous catalyst, facilitating Suzuki coupling and a challenging C-C bond formation via C(sp 3)-H activation under low catalyst loading conditions.

- Thermo-responsive poly(N -isopropylacrylamide)- block -poly(ionic liquid) of pyridinium sulfonate immobilized Pd nanoparticles in C-C coupling reactions
-
A thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-poly(ionic liquid) (PNIPAM-b-PIL) of pyridinium-type was prepared. Initially, controlled synthesis of PNIPAM was performed via RAFT method. Subsequently, PNIPAM as macromolecular chain transfer agent (macro-CTA) was used for fabrication of PNIPAM-b-PIL through reaction with a synthesized IL monomer i.e. 4-vinyl pyridinium propane sulfonate. The Pd catalyst was produced throughout palladium nanoparticles' anchoring into this block copolymer. The catalyst was characterized using ICP, FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis, TGA, XRD, SEM and EDX techniques. The catalyst's TEM image proved nearly fine dispersion of PdNPs with negligible agglomeration. The catalyst was used in the production of a variety of substituted alkenes and biaryl compounds (Heck and Suzuki coupling) in organic and aqueous media and under solvent free conditions. Additionally, the results signified extreme reusability of the catalyst with a simple recycling procedure.

- Reductive Cleavage of C—O Bond in Model Compounds of Lignin
-
A simple protocol for reductive cleavage of C—O bond in diaryl and aryl methyl ethers was reported, in which NaH served as a reducing agent and KOtBu as a base and a radical initiator. The combination of NaH and KOtBu displayed high efficiency for reductive cleavage of C—O bond in diaryl and aryl ethers (e.g., dibenzofuran, diphenyl ether, anisole) without the hydrogenation of the aryl rings, in the absence of any other catalysts or ligands at 140 °C, producing corresponding arenes and phenols. It was indicated that the reaction was under a radical mechanism.

- Mechanistic Investigations of the Hydrogenolysis of Diaryl Ethers Catalyzed by Nickel Complexes of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands
-
Recent interest in the valorization of lignin has led to reactions involving the cleavage of strong aromatic C-O bonds. However, few experimental mechanistic studies of these reactions have been published. We report detailed mechanistic analysis of the hydrogenolysis of diaryl ethers catalyzed by the combination of Ni(COD)2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). Experiments on the catalytic reaction indicated that NaOt-Bu was necessary for catalysis, but kinetic analysis showed that the base is not involved in the rate-limiting C-O bond cleavage. The resting state of the catalyst is an NHC-Ni(η6-arene) complex. Substitution of the coordinated solvent with diaryl ether allowed isolation of a diaryl ether-bound Ni complex. Rate-limiting C-O bond cleavage occurs to generate a three-coordinate product of oxidative addition, a metallacyclic version of which has been prepared independently. Stoichiometric studies show that arene and phenol products are released following reaction with H2. NaOt-Bu was found to deprotonate the phenol product and to prevent formation of inactive NiI dimers.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Biaryl Couplings via C-F Bond Activation in the Absence of Phosphine or NHC Ligands
-
A highly general and selective Co-catalyzed biaryl coupling through C-F cleavage under phosphine or NHC-free conditions was described. A broad range of aryl fluorides including unactivated fluorides as well as those with sensitive functionalities could couple with various Ti(OEt)4-mediated aryl Grignard reagents with high selectivity under the catalysis of CoCl2/DMPU. Importantly, selective C-F bond activation couplings between two types of fluorines (difluorinated aromatics and on two different coupling partners) and in the presence of C-Cl or C-Br bonds could also be achieved.

A Cu-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction of arylboronic acids, amines and carbon dioxide is described for the first time in this paper. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups, providing a convenient protocol for the synthesis of various O-aryl carbamates. The successful development of the transformation was enabled by the use of BF3·OEt2 as the promoter and molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Mechanistic studies suggested that the CuII carbamato complex is involved in the catalytic transformation.

- An acetatopalladium(II) complex with 1-benzyl-N-(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)piperidin-4-amine: Synthesis, structure and catalytic applications in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of arylboronic acids with hydroxyaryl halides
-
The Schiff base 1-benzyl-N-(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)piperidin-4-amine (HL) and its acetatopalladium(II) complex having the formula [Pd(L)(OAc)] were synthesized. Both HL and [Pd(L)(OAc)] were characterized using elemental analysis and various spectroscopic (infrared, UV–visible, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) and mass spectrometric measurements. The molecular structure of the complex was determined using X-ray crystallographic analysis. In the complex, the pincer-like NNO-donor L? and the monodenate OAc? provide a distorted square-planar N2O2 coordination environment around the metal centre. The physicochemical properties and the spectroscopic features of [Pd(L)(OAc)] are consistent with its molecular structure. The complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of hydroxyaryl halides with arylboronic acids in predominantly aqueous media. The reactions afforded hydroxybiaryl products in good to excellent yields with a wide substrate scope.

- Mono- and dinuclear cyclopalladates as catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in predominantly aqueous media
-
Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with arylboronic acids were performed in predominantly aqueous media employing two mono- and two dinuclear cyclopalladated complexes as catalysts. These complexes are [Pd(HL)Cl] (I), [Pd(L)(PPh3)] (II), [Pd2(μ-dppb)(L)2] (III) and [Pd2(μ-dppf)(L)2] (IV); where H2L, dppb and dppf represent 4-methoxy-N′-(mesitylidene)benzohydrazide, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, respectively. The reactions were conducted using potassium carbonate as base in presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) at 70/90 °C in dimethylformamide–water (1:20) mixture. Among the four catalysts used, the dinuclear complex IV turned out to be the most effective and afforded moderate to excellent yields with broad substrate scope.

- Structure-Function Studies of Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, Biphenyl, and Their Derivatives in Interaction with and Oxidation by Cytochromes P450 2A13 and 2A6
-
Naphthalene, phenanthrene, biphenyl, and their derivatives having different ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, and propargyl ether substitutions were examined for their interaction with and oxidation by cytochromes P450 (P450) 2A13 and 2A6. Spectral interaction studies suggested that most of these chemicals interacted with P450 2A13 to induce Type I binding spectra more readily than with P450 2A6. Among the various substituted derivatives examined, 2-ethynylnaphthalene, 2-naphthalene propargyl ether, 3-ethynylphenanthrene, and 4-biphenyl propargyl ether had larger ?Amax/Ks values in inducing Type I binding spectra with P450 2A13 than their parent compounds. P450 2A13 was found to oxidize naphthalene, phenanthrene, and biphenyl to 1-naphthol, 9-hydroxyphenanthrene, and 2-And/or 4-hydroxybiphenyl, respectively, at much higher rates than P450 2A6. Other human P450 enzymes including P450s 1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 2C9, and 3A4 had lower rates of oxidation of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and biphenyl than P450s 2A13 and 2A6. Those alkynylated derivatives that strongly induced Type I binding spectra with P450s 2A13 and 2A6 were extensively oxidized by these enzymes upon analysis with HPLC. Molecular docking studies supported the hypothesis that ligand-interaction energies (U values) obtained with reported crystal structures of P450 2A13 and 2A6 bound to 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, indole, pilocarpine, nicotine, and coumarin are of use in understanding the basis of possible molecular interactions of these xenobiotic chemicals with the active sites of P450 2A13 and 2A6 enzymes. In fact, the ligand-interaction energies with P450 2A13 4EJG bound to these chemicals were found to relate to their induction of Type I binding spectra.

The catalytic activity of the complex was assessed for the hydroxylation of aromatic compounds by using aqueous H2O2 as an oxidant in acetonitrile. The catalytic system was applicable in a wide range of substrates including aromatic compounds with both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents and showed moderate to good catalytic activity and selectivity in the oxidation reactions.

- A New Route to Phenols: Palladium-Catalyzed Cyclization and Oxidation of γ,δ-Unsaturated Ketones
-
We report a new strategy for the synthesis of phenols from acyclic unsaturated ketones in one pot. The reaction proceeds by palladium-catalyzed carbopalladation of an alkene with the enol form of the tethered ketone, generating a substituted cyclohexanone. Upon introduction of a terminal oxidant a palladium-catalyzed oxidation ensues to give the desired phenol. This approach allows the programming of phenol substituents on the acyclic substrate and therefore circumvents the limitations inherent in traditional syntheses of phenols.

- A highly efficient metal-free approach to: Meta - And multiple-substituted phenols via a simple oxidation of cyclohexenones

A novel and efficient metal-free approach to substituted phenols has been disclosed from simple and readily available cyclohexenones and cyclohexenone equivalents. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a simple and common organic reagent, was employed as a mild oxidant in this I2-catalysis, which significantly tolerates various substituents including some easily oxidizable or reducible functionalities. The challenging meta- and multiple-substituted phenols could be well prepared by this method. The metal-free and mild oxidation make this protocol very simple, practical, and easy to handle.

- Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on layered double hydroxide for heterogeneously catalyzed aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones to phenols
-
Phenol, an important industrial chemical, is widely produced using the well-developed cumene process. However, demand for the development of a novel alternative method for synthesizing phenol from benzene has been increasing. Herein, we report a novel system for the synthesis of phenols through aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones, including ketone-alcohol (KA) oil, catalyzed by Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH)-supported Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles (Au-Pd/LDH). Alloying of Au and Pd and basicity of LDH are key factors in achieving the present transformation. Although monometallic Au/LDH, Pd/LDH, and their physical mixture showed almost no catalytic activity, Au-Pd/LDH exhibited markedly high catalytic activity for the dehydrogenative phenol production. Mechanistic studies showed that β-H elimination from Pd-enolate species is accelerated by Au species, likely via electronic ligand effects. Moreover, the effect of supports was critical; despite the high catalytic performance of Au-Pd/LDH, Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles supported on Al2O3, TiO2, MgO, and CeO2 were ineffective. Thus, the basicity of LDH plays a deterministic role in the present dehydrogenation possibly through its assistance in the deprotonation steps. The synthetic scope of the Au-Pd/LDH-catalyzed system was very broad; various substituted cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones were efficiently converted into the corresponding phenols, and N-substituted anilines were synthesized from cyclohexanones and amines. In addition, the observed catalysis was truly heterogeneous, and Au-Pd/LDH could be reused without substantial loss of its high performance. The present transformation is scalable, utilizes O2 in air as the terminal oxidant, and generates water as the only by-product, highlighting the potential practical utility and environmentally benign nature of the present transformation. Dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexanols proceeds through (1) oxidation of cyclohexanols to cyclohexanones; (2) dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones to cyclohexenones; and (3) disproportionation of cyclohexenones to afford the desired phenols. In the present Au-Pd/LDH-catalyzed transformation, the oxidation of the Pd-H species is included in the rate-determining step.
