- Pd supported on boron-doped mesoporous carbon as highly active catalyst for liquid phase catalytic hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol
-
Palladium catalysts supported on both ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) and boron-doped mesoporous carbon (B-CMK-3) were synthesized via the complexing-reduction method. These catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their catalytic performance was examined for the liquid phase catalytic hydrodechlorination (HDC) of 2,4-dichlorophenol. Characterization results showed that for B-CMK-3 boron was introduced into the framework of the mesoporous carbon. Pd supported on B-CMK-3 had a smaller average Pd particle size and higher Pd 2+/Pd0 ratio than that on CMK-3, although B-CMK-3 had slightly lower surface area and pore volume than CMK-3. For Pd/B-CMK-3, increasing Pd loading led to an increase in Pd particle size and a decrease in Pd2+/Pd0 ratio. The liquid phase catalytic HDC of 2,4-dichlorophenol over Pd/B-CMK-3 followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, and the catalytic reaction proceeded in both stepwise and concerted pathways. The initial reaction rates of Pd(2.7)/B-CMK-3 and Pd(2.6)/CMK-3 were 0.608 and 0.207 M gCat-1 h-1, respectively, reflecting a much higher catalytic activity of Pd/B-CMK-3 than that of Pd/CMK-3. For Pd/B-CMK-3, increasing Pd loading from 1.6 to 2.7 wt.% led to an increase in the initial rate from 0.260 to 0.608 M gCat-1 h-1, but further increase of the loading to 3.9 wt.% resulted in a slight decrease in the catalytic activity.

- Kinetic study of the gas-phase reactions of chlorine atoms with 2-chlorophenol, 2-nitrophenol, and four methyl-2-nitrophenol isomers
-
Anthropogenic activities are the main source of nitrophenols and chlorophenols in the atmosphere. Nitro and chlorophenols have a high potential to form ozone and secondary organic aerosol, thus investigations on the major photo oxidation pathways of these compounds are important to assess their contribution to urban air pollution and human health. Presented here are rate coefficients determined at atmospheric pressure and (298 ± 2) K using a relative kinetic method for the reactions of chlorine atoms with 2-chlorophenol (2ClP), 2-nitrophenol (2NP) and four methyl-2-nitrophenol (2-nitrocresol, nM2NP (n = 3,4,5,6)) isomers. The following rate coefficients (in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1) have been obtained: (5.9 ± 1.5) × 10-12 for 2ClP, (6.8 ± 2.3) × 10-12 for 2NP, and (14.0 ± 4.9) × 10-11, (4.3 ± 1.5) × 10-11, (1.94 ± 0.67) × 10-11 and (2.68 ± 0.75) × 10-11 for the four methyl-2-nitrophenol isomers 3M2NP, 4M2NP, 5M2NP, and 6M2NP, respectively. This study represents the first kinetic investigation for the reaction of chlorine atoms with all the nitrophenols. In addition, to assist in the interpretation of the results, rate coefficients for the reactions of Cl atoms with the cresol ortho, meta, and para isomers have been determined for the first time. The rate coefficient for the reaction with 2ClP is in good agreement with previous data and the relative reactivity of 2NP, 4M2NP, 5M2NP, and 6M2NP can be rationalized based on known substituent effects. The rate coefficient for 3M2NP is anomalously large; the observation of significant NO2 production in only this reaction suggests that an ipso substitution mechanism is the cause of the enhanced reactivity.

- Enhanced catalytic hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol over Pd catalysts supported on nitrogen-doped graphene
-
Pd catalysts supported on graphene and N-doped graphene (GN-1, GN-2 and GN-3) with varied N-doping amounts were prepared using the deposition-precipitation method, and liquid phase catalytic hydrodechlorination (HDC) of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was investigated over these catalysts. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, elementary analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Characterization results showed that graphene could be successfully doped by N using the heat treatment method with melamine as precursor, and N doping amounts were determined to be 5.7, 8.6 and 11.3% for GN-1, GN-2 and GN-3, respectively. Additionally, Pd2+/Pd0 ratios and Pd dispersions in the Pd/GN catalysts were much higher than those in Pd/graphene. For a similar Pd loading, the Pd dispersion of Pd/GN first increased and then decreased with the increase of N-doping amount, and the highest Pd dispersion was observed on Pd(2.9)/GN-2. Accordingly, GN supported Pd catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activities than Pd/graphene, the catalytic reaction first increased and then decreased slightly in activity with the increase of nitrogen doping amount, and the highest activity was identified on Pd(2.9)/GN-2. Moreover, the dechlorination of 2,4-DCP over supported Pd catalysts proceeded via both a stepwise and concerted pathway, and the concerted pathway became predominant upon N doping.

- Imidazolium-urea low transition temperature mixtures for the UHP-promoted oxidation of boron compounds
-
Different carboxy-functionalized imidazolium salts have been considered as components of low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) in combination with urea. Among them, a novel LTTM based on 1-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and urea has been prepared and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry throughout its entire composition range. This LTTM has been employed for the oxidation of boron reagents using urea-hydrogen peroxide adduct (UHP) as the oxidizer, thus avoiding the use of aqueous H2O2, which is dangerous to handle. This metal-free protocol affords the corresponding alcohols in good to quantitative yields in up to 5 mmol scale without the need of further purification. The broad composition range of the LTTM allows for the reaction to be carried out up to three consecutive times with a single imidazolium salt loading offering remarkable sustainability with an E-factor of 7.9, which can be reduced to 3.2 by the threefold reuse of the system.

A Me3SI-mediated simple and efficient protocol for the chemoselective deprotection of acetyl groups has been developedviaemploying KMnO4as an additive. This chemoselective deacetylation is amenable to a wide range of substrates, tolerating diverse and sensitive functional groups in carbohydrates, amino acids, natural products, heterocycles, and general scaffolds. The protocol is attractive because it uses an environmentally benign reagent system to perform quantitative and clean transformations under ambient conditions.

- Light-Induced Efficient Hydroxylation of Benzene to Phenol by Quinolinium and Polyoxovanadate-Based Supramolecular Catalysts
-
Direct Hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with high yield and selectivity has been the goal of phenol industrial production. Photocatalysis can serve as a competitive method to realize the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol owing to its cost-effective and environmental friendliness, however it is still a forbidding challenge to obtain good yield, high selectivity and high atom availability meanwhile. Here we show a series of supramolecular catalysts based on alkoxohexavanadate anions and quinolinium ions for the photocatalytic hydroxylation of benzene to phenol under UV irradiation. We demonstrate that polyoxoalkoxovanadates can serve as efficient catalysts which can not only stabilize quinolinium radicals but also reuse H2O2 produced by quinolinium ions under light irradiation to obtain excellent synergistic effect, including competitive good yield (50.1 %), high selectivity (>99 %) and high atom availability.

- Non-Innocent Role of the Ceria Support in Pd-Catalyzed Halophenol Hydrodehalogenation
-
The hydrodehalogenation (HDH) of halophenols is efficiently catalyzed by palladium supported on high-surface ceria (Pd/CeO2) under mild conditions (35 °C, 1 atm H2). A combination of NMR, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS studies and HDH kinetics of substituted halobenzenes suggests that the reaction proceeds mainly via a sequence of dissociative adsorption of phenolic hydroxyl onto the support, oxidative addition of the C-halogen bond to Pd, and reductive elimination to give phenol and hydrogen halide. The dissociative adsorption of the -OH group onto oxygen vacancies of the ceria support results in an electron-rich intermediate that facilitates the turnover-limiting reductive elimination step. In contrast, the direct pathway catalyzed by Pd without dissociative adsorption of the reactants on the support takes place at a slower rate. The mechanistic insights gained in this study were used to modify the reaction conditions for enabling HDH of recalcitrant halides such as fluorides and iodides.

- Tuning the redox potential of Ag?Ag2O/WO3 and Ag?Ag2S/WO3 photocatalysts toward diclofenac oxidation and nitrophenol reduction
-
WO3 nanoplates modified with either Ag2O or Ag2S nano-architectures were synthesized by a deposition-hydrothermal route (180 °C for 5 h). They were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, N2 sorptiometry, Transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photo-catalytic (λ > 420 nm, 160 W) degradation of Diclofenac (DCF; 60 mg/l), was achieved using H2O2 (1 × 10?4 M) with either Ag?Ag2O/WO3 (K = 32.0 × 10-3 min-1) or Ag?Ag2S/WO3 (K = 7.3 × 10-3 min-1) catalysts. In the case of DCF degradation using radical scavengers, [rad]O2? played a key role in the degradation process whilst [rad]OH and holes acted moderately minor roles. The possible DCF degradation paths and intermediates were assessed by LC–MS. Both Ag?Ag2O/WO3 and Ag?Ag2S/WO3 catalysts were used in the photo-reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP; 1.8 × 10?4 M) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with rate constants equal 8.3 x 10?3 min-1 and 1.6 x 10?3 min?1, respectively.

- Catalyst-free rapid conversion of arylboronic acids to phenols under green condition
-
A catalyst-free and solvent-free method for the oxidative hydroxylation of aryl boronic acids to corresponding phenols with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent was developed. The reactions could be performed under green condition at room temperature within very short reaction time. 99% yield of phenol could be achieved in only 1 min. A series of different arenes substituted aryl boronic acids were further carried out in the hydroxylation reaction with excellent yield. It was worth nothing that the reaction could completed within 1 min in all cases in the presence of ethanol as co-solvent.

- Highly efficient, recyclable and alternative method of synthesizing phenols from phenylboronic acids using non-endangered metal: Samarium oxide
-
Oxidation of phenylboronic acid to phenol is one of the important industrial processes and it is generally employed in the plastic, explosive and drug manufacturing industries. Over the past decades, numerous efficient methods have been described for the generation of phenols from phenylboronic acids in the presence of oxidant. However, these methods suffered from various limitations, including the use of expensive, toxic reagents and sophisticated protocol to synthesise the phenols. Additionally, some of these reported literatures employed endangered metals, in which mankind is facing the risk of limited supply of these elements in 20 years’ time from now. As such, a viable alternative and green method for achieving organic synthesis is highly sought after by the chemists of today. Herein, we report for the first time a facile, efficient and alternative method in the preparation of phenols from phenylboronic acids using non-endangered metal as catalyst. In all cases, all phenols were afforded in satisfactory yields (81–96%) by employing column-free method. In the recyclability study, the Sm2O3 catalyst was found to possess good catalytic performance, even after being reused for five consecutive times (96–91%). In addition, SEM result revealed that the morphology of the recycled Sm2O3 catalyst was well preserved after five successive uses, which indicate no observable changes occurred in the recovered catalysts. As a final note, the current method is anticipated to be useful for industries manufacturing chemical intermediates as it provides an alternative method of catalysis by using a non-endangered metal in organic transformations.

The reaction is promoted by KI under white LED light irradiation and uses atmospheric oxygen as oxidant. By the use of triethylamine as base and solvent, the corresponding phenols are obtained in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that KI and catalysis synergistically promote the cleavage of C-I bond to form free aryl radicals.

- The use of polymeric sulfides as catalysts for the para-regioselective chlorination of phenol and 2-chlorophenol
-
Various poly(alkylene sulfide)s have been synthesized and used as catalysts to enhance the para-regioselectivity in chlorination of phenol and 2-chlorophenol using freshly distilled sulfuryl chloride in the presence of AlCl3 as an activator. Poly(alkylene sulfide)s having alternating spacers, one having three methylene groups and the second having three, six or nine methylene groups were the most para-regioselective catalysts in chlorination of both phenol and 2-chlorophenol. For example, chlorination of phenol and 2-chlorophenol in the presence of optimal examples of such poly(alkylene sulfide)s gave 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol as the major products in 94.8 and 95.4% yields, respectively, compared with 75.4 and 55.0% yields in the absence of catalysts. In addition, double chlorination of phenol in the presence of poly(alkylene sulfide)s gave 2,4-dichlrophenol in up to 97.1% yield compared with only 58.6% in the absence of catalysts.

- Method for catalytically synthesizing dichlorophenol by adopting surfactant catalyst
-
The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for dichlorinating a phenolic substance, which directionally and selectively catalyzes substitution of C-H at an ortho-position and a para-position of phenolic hydroxyl by Cl atoms. The dichlorination method comprises the following steps: adding concentrated hydrochloric acid into a reactor, then addinga catalyst and a phenolic reactant, heating in an oil bath under violent stirring, and then adding a H2O2 aqueous solution with the mass percent concentration of 30-60%, and reacting for 2-26 hours and then ending the reaction, collecting an organic phase, and diluting with acetonitrile to prepare a sample for analysis.

- Catalyst-Controlled Regioselective Chlorination of Phenols and Anilines through a Lewis Basic Selenoether Catalyst
-
We report a highly efficient ortho-selective electrophilic chlorination of phenols utilizing a Lewis basic selenoether catalyst. The selenoether catalyst resulted in comparable selectivities to our previously reported bis-thiourea ortho-selective catalyst, with a catalyst loading as low as 1%. The new catalytic system also allowed us to extend this chemistry to obtain excellent ortho-selectivities for unprotected anilines. The selectivities of this reaction are up to >20:1 ortho/para, while the innate selectivities for phenols and anilines are approximately 1:4 ortho/para. A series of preliminary studies revealed that the substrates require a hydrogen-bonding moiety for selectivity.

- Single-step benzene hydroxylation by cobalt(ii) catalysts: Via a cobalt(iii)-hydroperoxo intermediate
-
The cobalt(ii) complexes of 4N tetradentate ligands have been synthesized and characterized as the catalysts for phenol synthesis in a single step. The molecular structure of the complexes showed a geometry in between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal (τ, 0.49-0.88) with Co-Namine and Co-NPy bond distances of 2.104-2.254 ? and 2.043-2.099 ?, respectively. The complexes exhibited a Co2+/Co3+ redox potential around 0.489-0.500 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in acetonitrile. The complexes catalyzed hydroxylation of benzene using H2O2 (30%) and afforded phenol selectively as the major product. A maximum yield of phenol up to 29% and turnover number (TON) of 286 at 60 °C, and a yield of 19% and TON of 191 at 25 °C are achieved. This is the highest catalytic performance reported using cobalt(ii) complexes as catalysts to date. This aromatic hydroxylation presumably proceeded via a cobalt(iii)-hydroperoxo species, which was characterized by ESI-MS, and vibrational and electronic spectral methods. The formation of key intermediate [(L)CoIII(OOH)]2+ was accompanied by the appearance of the characteristic O → Co(iii) ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition around 488-686 nm and vibration modes at 832 cm-1 (O-OH) and 564 cm-1 (Co-O). The geometry of one of the catalytically active intermediates was optimized by DFT and its spectral properties were calculated by TD-DFT calculations. These data are comparable to the experimental observations. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values (0.98-1.07) support the involvement of cobalt-bound oxygen species as a key intermediate. Isotope-labeling experiments using H218O2 showed an 89% incorporation of 18O, revealing that H2O2 is the main oxygen supplier for phenol formation from benzene. The catalytic efficiencies of cobalt complexes are tuned by ligand architectures via their geometrical configurations and steric properties.

- Hydroxylation of Aromatics by H2O2 Catalyzed by Mononuclear Non-heme Iron Complexes: Role of Triazole Hemilability in Substrate-Induced Bifurcation of the H2O2 Activation Mechanism
-
Rieske dioxygenases are metalloenzymes capable of achieving cis-dihydroxylation of aromatics under mild conditions using O2 and a source of electrons. The intermediate responsible for this reactivity is proposed to be a cis-FeV(O)(OH) moiety. Molecular models allow the generation of a FeIII(OOH) species with H2O2, to yield a FeV(O)(OH) species with tetradentate ligands, or {FeIV(O); OH.} pairs with pentadentate ones. We have designed a new pentadentate ligand, mtL42, bearing a labile triazole, to generate an “in-between” situation. Two iron complexes, [(mtL42)FeCl](PF6) and [(mtL42)Fe(OTf)2]), were obtained and their reactivity towards aromatic substrates was studied in the presence of H2O2. Spectroscopic and kinetic studies reflect that triazole is bound at the FeII state, but decoordinates in the FeIII(OOH). The resulting [(mtL42)FeIII(OOH)(MeCN)]2+ then lies on a bifurcated decay pathway (end-on homolytic vs. side-on heterolytic) depending on the addition of aromatic substrate: in the absence of substrate, it is proposed to follow a side-on pathway leading to a putative (N4)FeV(O)(OH), while in the presence of aromatics it switches to an end-on homolytic pathway yielding a {(N5)FeIV(O); OH.} reactive species, through recoordination of triazole. This switch significantly impacts the reaction regioselectivity.

- Benzene Hydroxylation by Bioinspired Copper(II) Complexes: Coordination Geometry versus Reactivity
-
A series of bioinspired copper(II) complexes of N4-tripodal and sterically crowded diazepane-based ligands have been investigated as catalysts for functionalization of the aromatic C-H bond. The tripodal-ligand-based complexes exhibited distorted trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (τ, 0.70) around the copper(II) center; however, diazepane-ligand-based complexes adopted square-pyramidal (SP) geometry (τ, 0.037). The Cu-NPy bonds (2.003-2.096 ?) are almost identical and shorter than Cu-Namine bonds (2.01-2.148 ?). Also, their Cu-O (Cu-Owater, 1.988 ? Cu-Otriflate, 2.33 ?) bond distances are slightly varied. All of the complexes exhibited Cu2+ → Cu+ redox couples in acetonitrile, where the redox potentials of TBP-based complexes (-0.251 to -0.383 V) are higher than those of SP-based complexes (-0.450 to -0.527 V). The d-d bands around 582-757 nm and axial patterns of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra [g∥, 2.200-2.251; A∥, (146-166) × 10-4 cm-1] of the complexes suggest the existence of five-coordination geometry. The bonding parameters showed K∥ > K∥ for all complexes, corresponding to out-of-plane πbonding. The complexes catalyzed direct hydroxylation of benzene using 30% H2O2 and afforded phenol exclusively. The complexes with TBP geometry exhibited the highest amount of phenol formation (37%) with selectivity (98%) superior to that of diazepane-based complexes (29%), which preferred to adopt SP-based geometry. Hydroxylation of benzene likely proceeded via a CuII-OOH key intermediate, and its formation has been established by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, vibrational, and electronic spectra. Their formation constants have been calculated as (2.54-11.85) × 10-2 s-1 from the appearance of an O (π?σ) → Cu ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transition around 370-390 nm. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments showed values of 0.97-1.12 for all complexes, which further supports the crucial role of Cu-OOH in catalysis. The 18O-labeling studies using H218O2 showed a 92% incorporation of 18O into phenol, which confirms H2O2 as the key oxygen supplier. Overall, the coordination geometry of the complexes strongly influenced the catalytic efficiencies. The geometry of one of the CuII-OOH intermediates has been optimized by the density functional theory method, and its calculated electronic and vibrational spectra are almost similar to the experimentally observed values.

A mild, green and highly efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of substituted phenols via ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids in ethanol. The method utilizes the combination of aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and H2O2/HBr as the reagent under unprecedentedly simple and convenient conditions. A wide range of arylboronic acids were smoothly transformed into substituted phenols in very good to excellent yields without chromatographic purification. The reaction is scalable up to at least 5 grams at room temperature with one-minute reaction time and can be combined in a one-pot sequence with bromination and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling to generate more diverse, highly substituted phenols.

A straightforward and mild oxidative ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids has been achieved using a simple and non-noble metal, nickel-based reusable heterogeneous catalyst Ni(HBTC)BPY MOF (HBTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, BPY = 4,4′-bipyridine) in the presence of benign hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant under ambient reaction condition. The Ni(HBTC)BPY MOF exhibits excellent catalytic activity towards the formation of phenols from diverse arylboronic acids within short time and can be reused up to five times without any notable loss in its activity as well as shown high functional group tolerance even in the presence of sensitive functionalities and useful to achieve hydroxyl group in heterocycles.

- Copper nanoparticles supported on highly nitrogen-rich covalent organic polymers as heterogeneous catalysts for the ipso -hydroxylation of phenyl boronic acid to phenol
-
This work describes a simple procedure for the synthesis of highly nitrogen-rich covalent organic polymers using commercially available starting materials like melamine and cyanuric chloride as a solid heterogeneous catalyst Cu/TCOP under solvothermal conditions. The structural properties of the as-synthesized solid heterogeneous catalyst were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), 13C-CP MAS nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of Cu/TCOP was investigated by focusing on the oxidation of phenylboronic acid under atmospheric conditions in an aqueous medium, achieving a very good yield up to 99%. The reaction performance was evaluated considering the effect of various parameters, such as the amount of the catalyst, reaction time, temperature, and the amount of the base and solvent. The Cu/TCOP catalyst is completely recoverable in a facile manner from the reaction mixture and the efficiency of the copper nanocatalyst can be recovered after five cycles.

- Bimetallic photoredox catalysis: Visible light-promoted aerobic hydroxylation of arylboronic acids with a dirhodium(ii) catalyst
-
We report the use of a rhodium(II) dimer in visible light photoredox catalysis for the aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids to phenols under mild conditions. Spectroscopic and computational studies indicate that the catalyst Rh2(bpy)2(OAc)4 (1) undergoes metal-metal to ligand charge transfer upon visible light irradiation, which is responsible for catalytic activity. Further reactivity studies demonstrate that 1 is a general photoredox catalyst for diverse oxidation reactions.

- Regioselectivity of Hydroxyl Radical Reactions with Arenes in Nonaqueous Solutions
-
The regioselectivity of hydroxyl radical addition to arenes was studied using a novel analytical method capable of trapping radicals formed after the first elementary step of reaction, without alteration of the product distributions by secondary oxidation processes. Product analyses of these reactions indicate a preference for o- over p-substitution for electron donating groups, with both favored over m-addition. The observed distributions are qualitatively similar to those observed for the addition of other carbon-centered radicals, although the magnitude of the regioselectivity observed is greater for hydroxyl. The data, reproduced by high accuracy CBS-QB3 computational methods, indicate that both polar and radical stabilization effects play a role in the observed regioselectivities. The application and potential limitations of the analytical method used are discussed.

- Regioselective chlorination of phenols in the presence of tetrahydrothiopyran derivatives
-
Four six-membered cyclic sulfides, namely tetrahydrothiopyran, 3-methyltetrahydrothiopyran, 4-methyltetrahydrothiopyran and 4,4-dimethyltetrahyrdrothiopyran have been used as moderators in chlorination reactions of various phenols with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aluminum or ferric chloride. On chlorination of phenol, ortho-cresol and meta-cresol the para/ortho chlorination ratios and yields of the para-chloro isomers are higher than when no cyclic sulfide is used for all of the cyclic sulfides, but chlorination of meta-xylenol is less consistent, with some cyclic sulfides producing higher p/o ratios and others producing lower ratios than reactions having no sulfide present.

- Catalytic performance of nitrogen-doped activated carbon supported Pd catalyst for hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol or chloropentafluoroethane
-
Nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N-AC) obtained through the thermal treatment of a mixture of HNO3-pretreated activated carbon (AC) and urea under N2 atmosphere at 600 ?C was used as the carrier of Pd catalyst for both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of chloropentafluoroethane (R-115). The effects of nitrogen doping on the dispersion and stability of Pd, atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the surface of the catalyzer, the catalyst’s hydrodechlorination activity, as well as the stability of N species in two different reaction systems were investigated. Our results suggest that, despite no improvement in the dispersion of Pd, nitrogen doping may significantly raise the atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface, with a value of 1.2 on Pd/AC but 2.2 on Pd/N-AC. Three types of N species, namely graphitic, pyridinic, and pyrrolic nitrogen, were observed on the surface of Pd/N-AC, and graphitic nitrogen was stable in both liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP and gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, with pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen being unstable during gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. As a result, the average size of Pd nanocrystals on Pd/N-AC was almost kept unchanged after liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, whereas crystal growth of Pd was clearly observed on Pd/N-AC after gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115. The activity test revealed that Pd/N-AC exhibited a much better performance than Pd/AC in liquid-phase hydrodechlorination of 2,4-DCP, probably due to the enhanced stability of Pd exposed to the environment resulting from nitrogen doping as suggested by the higher atomic ratio of Pd/Pd2+ on the catalyst surface. In the gas-phase hydrodechlorination of R-115, however, a more rapid deactivation phenomenon occurred on Pd/N-AC than on Pd/AC despite a higher activity initially observed on Pd/N-AC, hinting that the stability of pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen plays an important role in the determination of catalytic performance of Pd/N-AC.

- One step phenol synthesis from benzene catalysed by nickel(ii) complexes
-
Nickel(ii)complexes of N4-ligands have been synthesized and characterized as efficient catalysts for the hydroxylation of benzene using H2O2. All the complexes exhibited Ni2+ → Ni3+ oxidation potentials of around 0.966-1.051 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in acetonitrile. One of the complexes has been structurally characterized and adopted an octahedral coordination geometry around the nickel(ii) center. The complexes catalysed direct benzene hydroxylation using H2O2 as an oxygen source and afforded phenol up to 41% with a turnover number (TON) of 820. This is unprecedentedly the highest catalytic efficiency achieved to date for benzene hydroxylation using 0.05 mol% catalyst loading and five equivalents of H2O2. The benzene hydroxylation reaction possibly proceeds via the key intermediate bis(μ-oxo)dinickel(iii) species, which was characterized by HR-MS, vibrational and electronic spectral methods, for almost all complexes. The formation constant of the key intermediate was calculated to be 5.61-9.41 × 10-2 s-1 by following the appearance of an oxo-to-Ni(iii) LMCT band at around 406-413 nm. The intermediates are found to be very short-lived (t1/2, 73-123 s). The geometry of one of the catalytically active intermediates was optimized by DFT and its spectral properties were calculated by TD-DFT calculations, which are comparable to experimental spectral data. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values (0.98-1.05) support the involvement of nickel-bound oxygen species as an intermediate. The isotope-labeling experiments using H218O2 showed 92.46% incorporation of 18O, revealing that H2O2 is the key oxygen supplier to form phenol. The catalytic efficiencies of complexes are strongly influenced by the geometrical configuration of intermediates, and stereoelectronic and steric properties, which are fine-tuned by the ligand architecture.

- Visible-Light-Promoted Iron-Catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp3) Kumada Cross-Coupling in Flow
-
A continuous-flow, visible-light-promoted method has been developed to overcome the limitations of iron-catalyzed Kumada–Corriu cross-coupling reactions. A variety of strongly electron rich aryl chlorides, previously hardly reactive, could be efficiently coupled with aliphatic Grignard reagents at room temperature in high yields and within a few minutes’ residence time, considerably enhancing the applicability of this iron-catalyzed reaction. The robustness of this protocol was demonstrated on a multigram scale, thus providing the potential for future pharmaceutical application.

- Synthesis of Ti-Al binary oxides and their catalytic application for C-H halogenation of phenols, aldehydes and ketones
-
Traditional C–H halogenation of organic compounds often requires corrosive agent or harsh condition, and current researches are focused on the use of noble metals as catalyst. In order to give an efficient, benign, activity-adjustable and cost-effective system for halogenation, a series of Ti-Al mixed oxides are prepared as catalyst through sol-gel in this work. Characterizations reveal all catalysts contain more aluminum than titanium, but preparative conditions affect their composition and crystallinity. Monitoring of particle size, zeta potential and UV–vis of preparative solution reveals that formation of catalyst colloids undergoes chemical reaction, affecting catalyst morphology. In halogenation, all catalysts show moderate to high activities, copper chloride proves to be an effective halogen source rather than sodium chloride. The chlorination and bromination are better than iodization, phenol and ketone appear to be more appropriate substrates than aldehyde. Additionally, oxide backbone of catalyst is more durable than its organic components during recycling. This study may provide new catalytic materials for progress of C–H activation.

- Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Highly Practical Ortho-Selective Monohalogenation and Phenylselenation of Phenols: Scope and Applications

An ortho-selective ammonium chloride salt-catalyzed direct C-H monohalogenation of phenols and 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) as the chlorinating agent has been developed. The catalyst loading was low (down to 0.01 mol %) and the reaction conditions were very mild. A wide range of substrates including BINOLs were compatible with this catalytic protocol. Chlorinated BINOLs are useful synthons for the synthesis of a wide range of unsymmetrical 3-aryl BINOLs that are not easily accessible. In addition, the same catalytic system can facilitate the ortho-selective selenylation of phenols.

An efficient protocol for dealkylation of aryl alkyl ethers under the catalysis of inexpensive and easily reusable Cu2O has been described. The phenol products were obtained in high yields, and a range of functional groups were well tolerated. The choice of solvent is critical to the catalysis, and CH3OH proved to be the optimal choice. Mechanistic investigations showed that this reaction possibly proceeds via a single-electron transfer (SET) process.

- Preparation method of p-chlorophenol
-
The invention discloses a preparation method of p-chlorophenol. The preparation method comprises feeding chlorine gas into a mixture of phenol, copper chloride and a polar solvent under the normal pressure so that the mixture undergoes a full phenol chlorination reaction, and collecting p-chlorophenol from the chlorination reaction products, wherein the polar solvent is hydrochloric acid, dimethylsulfoxide or their mixed solvent. The preparation method utilizes a one-step reaction method, copper chloride as a chlorinating agent and the polar solvent, solves the problem that the existing copper chloride method needs harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure and the copper chloride conversion rate is low because of use of single copper chloride, and has high para-selectivity. After the reaction, the copper chloride-polar solvent can be used for the circular chlorination reaction.

The method is good separation effect and can reach 99.4% in purities of both the p-chlorophenol and o-chlorophenol. The products have good comprehensive quality. The method is suitable for industrial production.

- Regioselective synthesis of important chlorophenols in the presence of methylthioalkanes with remote SMe, OMe or OH substituents
-
Various methylthio alcohols, methoxy(methylthio)alkanes and bis(methylthio)alkanes have been used as regioselectivity modifiers in the chlorination reactions of various phenols at room temperature. The process involves the use of a slight excess of sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aluminum or ferric chloride as an activator. Methylthio alcohols, methoxy(methylthio)alkanes and bis(methylthio)alkanes having 2 and 3 methylene groups as a spacer were found to be good for the para-selective chlorination of o-cresol and phenol. On the other hand, methylthio alcohols, methoxy(methylthio)alkanes and bis(methylthio)alkanes having 6 and 9 methylene groups were found to be good for the selective para-chlorination of m-xylenol and m-cresol. Calculations using density functional theory on bis(methylthio)alkanes have suggested two different types of stable chlorinated intermediates depending on the number of methylene units as a spacer.

- Whole-Cell Biotransformation of Benzene to Phenol Catalysed by Intracellular Cytochrome P450BM3 Activated by External Additives
-
An Escherichia coli whole-cell biocatalyst for the direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol has been developed. By adding amino acid derivatives as decoy molecules to the culture medium, wild-type cytochrome P450BM3 (P450BM3) expressed in E.coli can be activated and non-native substrates hydroxylated, without supplementing with NADPH. The yield of phenol reached 59 % when N-heptyl-l-prolyl-l-phenylalanine (C7-Pro-Phe) was employed as the decoy molecule. It was shown that decoy molecules, especially those lacking fluorination, reached the cytosol of E. coli, thus imparting in vivo catalytic activity for the oxyfunctionalisation of non-native substrates to intracellular P450BM3.

The sustainable, selective direct hydroxylation of arenes, such as benzene to phenol, is an important research challenge. An electrocatalytic transformation using formic acid to oxidize benzene and its halogenated derivatives to selectively yield aryl formates, which are easily hydrolyzed by water to yield the corresponding phenols, is presented. The formylation reaction occurs on a Pt anode in the presence of [CoIIIW12O40]5? as a catalyst and lithium formate as an electrolyte via formation of a formyloxyl radical as the reactive species, which was trapped by a BMPO spin trap and identified by EPR. Hydrogen was formed at the Pt cathode. The sum transformation is ArH+H2O→ArOH+H2. Non-optimized reaction conditions showed a Faradaic efficiency of 75 % and selective formation of the mono-oxidized product in a 35 % yield. Decomposition of formic acid into CO2 and H2 is a side-reaction.

Without any pretreatment, the substitution proceeds at room temperature in the absence of any catalyst, or additive, selectively affording phenols and important organic synthesis reagents, aromatic alkyl bromides, in high to excellent yields (up to 98%). Preliminary studies also highlight the prospect of this method for the effective cleavage of different types of C-O bonds in real lignin.

- Search for a photoinduced (site-selective) cleavage of the Ar-Cl bond in dichloroanisoles
-
The site-selective cleavage of an Ar-X bond in polyhalogenated aromatics is an important tool in synthetic planning especially when more than one identical halogen atom is present. An alternative to the usual metal-catalyzed cleavage is represented by photochemistry although only a few examples have been reported. We then investigated the feasibility of the site-selective photodechlorination of some dichloroanisoles through a combined experimental and computational study. In the case of 2,4-dichloroanisole, selective detachment of the chlorine atom at the ortho position with respect to the OMe group was observed upon photohomolysis (in cyclohexane) or photoheterolysis (in MeOH) of the Ar-Cl bond. In the latter case, 5-chloro-2-methoxy-1,1′-biphenyl was exclusively formed upon reaction of the resulting phenyl cation with benzene. The substitution of an OH group for a OMe group was detrimental since a lower photoreactivity resulted with no improvement in the selectivity.

- Iron(III)-Catalyzed Chlorination of Activated Arenes

A general and regioselective method for the chlorination of activated arenes has been developed. The transformation uses iron(III) triflimide as a powerful Lewis acid for the activation of N-chlorosuccinimide and the subsequent chlorination of a wide range of anisole, aniline, acetanilide, and phenol derivatives. The reaction was utilized for the late-stage mono- and dichlorination of a range of target compounds such as the natural product nitrofungin, the antibacterial agent chloroxylenol, and the herbicide chloroxynil. The facile nature of this transformation was demonstrated with the development of one-pot, tandem, iron-catalyzed dihalogenation processes allowing highly regioselective formation of different carbon-halogen bonds. The synthetic utility of the resulting dihalogenated aryl compounds as building blocks was established with the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutically relevant targets.

- Understanding Flavin-Dependent Halogenase Reactivity via Substrate Activity Profiling
-
The activity of four native FDHs and four engineered FDH variants on 93 low-molecular-weight arenes was used to generate FDH substrate activity profiles. These profiles provided insights into how substrate class, functional group substitution, electronic activation, and binding affect FDH activity and selectivity. The enzymes studied could halogenate a far greater range of substrates than have been previously recognized, but significant differences in their substrate specificity and selectivity were observed. Trends between the electronic activation of each site on a substrate and halogenation conversion at that site were established, and these data, combined with docking simulations, suggest that substrate binding can override electronic activation even on compounds differing appreciably from native substrates. These findings provide a useful framework for understanding and exploiting FDH reactivity for organic synthesis.
