- Correlation of Intermolecular Acyl Transfer Reactivity with Noncovalent Lattice Interactions in Molecular Crystals: Toward Prediction of Reactivity of Organic Molecules in the Solid State
-
Intermolecular acyl transfer reactivity in several molecular crystals was studied, and the outcome of the reactivity was analyzed in the light of structural information obtained from the crystals of the reactants. Minor changes in the molecular structure resulted in significant variations in the noncovalent interactions and packing of molecules in the crystal lattice, which drastically affected the facility of the intermolecular acyl transfer reactivity in these crystals. Analysis of the reactivity vs crystal structure data revealed dependence of the reactivity on electrophile···nucleophile interactions and C-H···π interactions between the reacting molecules. The presence of these noncovalent interactions augmented the acyl transfer reactivity, while their absence hindered the reactivity of the molecules in the crystal. The validity of these correlations allows the prediction of intermolecular acyl transfer reactivity in crystals and co-crystals of unknown reactivity. This crystal structure-reactivity correlation parallels the molecular structure-reactivity correlation in solution-state reactions, widely accepted as organic functional group transformations, and sets the stage for the development of a similar approach for reactions in the solid state.

- An efficient aerobic oxidation for p-xylene to p-toluic acid by unsymmetrical Schiff base manganese(III) complexes with pendant benzo-10-aza-crown ether or morpholino-groups
-
Unsymmetrical Schiff base Mn(III) complexes with pendant aza-crown or morpholino groups have been synthesised and studied as catalysts in aerobic oxidation of ρ-xylene to ρ-toluic acid (PTA). The oxidation of ρ-xylene to ρ-toluic acid with air at 120 °C under normal atmospheric pressure occurred efficiently in the presence of aza-crown ether substituted unsymmetrical Schiff base Mn(III) complexes. Significant selectivity (up to ~90%) and conversion levels (up to ~40%) were obtained. The effect of the pendant aza-crown ether group in Mn(III) Schiff base complexes on the oxidation of ρ-xylene was also investigated by comparison with the pendant morpholino-group analogues. The addition of Na+ cation accelerated the rate of conversion of ρ-xylene to ρ-toluic acid.

- Ordered mesoporous V2O5/WO3 composite catalysts for efficient oxidation of aryl alcohols
-
Multicomponent mesoporous metal oxides show promise in the area of heterogeneous catalysis due to the synergetic interactions between the framework components and the high internal surface area. In this study, we present the synthesis of ordered mesoporous tungsten(vi) oxide-vanadium oxide (V2O5) nanocomposite frameworks via a two-step wet chemical deposition and nanocasting process and demonstrate that they exhibit high catalytic activity and stability for the oxidation of aryl alcohols, using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) as oxidant. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen porosimetry results indicate that the template-free materials possess a 3D mesoscopic structure of discernible domains of parallel-arranged nanorods and have an internal pore surface with narrow mesopores. The chemical composition and molecular structure of the mesoporous matrix were determined with elemental X-ray microanalysis (EDS), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Raman spectroscopy. Our catalytic results indicate that a small addition of V2O5 into the lattice of WO3 has a beneficial effect on the catalytic performance. Thus, the 4% V2O5-loaded WO3 catalyst shows a large improvement in the oxidation of various para-substituted aryl alcohols with respect to the pure mesoporous WO3, giving good-to-high yields (ca. 80-100%) of the target products within 1-4 h reaction time.

- A Sustainable Route to a Terephthalic Acid Precursor
-
A new synthetic pathway for the production of p-toluic acid has been developed starting from reagents derived from renewable resources. A Diels-Alder reaction between sorbic and acrylic acids is followed by a combined dehydrogenation/ decarboxylation process, providing p-toluic acid in high yields. This route permits to use milder conditions compared to other Diels-Alder approaches reported in the literature, and therefore can contribute to a more sustainable terephthalic acid production.

- Gram-scale synthesis of carboxylic acids via catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and hydroxides at an ultralow Ru loading
-
Acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) of alcohols and water/hydroxides is an emergent and graceful approach to produce carboxylic acids. Therefore, it is of high demand to develop active and practical catalysts/catalytic systems for this attractive transformation. Herein, we designed and fabricated a series of cyclometallated N-heterocyclic carbene-Ru (NHC-Ru) complexes via ligand tuning of [Ru-1], the superior complex in our previous work. Gratifyingly, gram-scale synthesis of carboxylic acids was efficiently enabled at an ultralow Ru loading (62.5 ppm) in open air. Moreover, effects of distinct ancillary NHC ligands and other parameters on this catalytic process were thoroughly studied, while further systematic studies were carried out to provide rationales for the activity trend of [Ru-1]-[Ru-7]. Finally, determination of quantitative green metrics illustrated that the present work exhibited superiority over representative literature reports. Hopefully, this study could provide valuable input for researchers who are engaging in metal-catalyzed ADC reactions.

A one-pot, three-step protocol for the preparation of Grignard reagents from organobromides in a ball mill and their subsequent reactions with gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) or sodium methyl carbonate providing aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids in up to 82 % yield is reported. Noteworthy are the short reaction times and the significantly reduced solvent amounts [2.0 equiv. for liquid assisted grinding (LAG) conditions]. Unexpectedly, aryl bromides with methoxy substituents lead to symmetric ketones as major products.

- One-step solvent-free aerobic oxidation of aliphatic alcohols to esters using a tandem Sc-Ru?MOF catalyst
-
Esters are an important class of chemicals in industry. Traditionally, ester production is a multi-step process involving the use of corrosive acids or acid derivatives (e.g. acid chloride, anhydride, etc.). Therefore, the development of a green synthetic protocol is highly desirable. This work reports the development of a metal-organic framework (MOF) supported tandem catalyst that can achieve direct alcohol to ester conversion (DAEC) using oxygen as the sole oxidizing agent under strictly solvent-free conditions. By incorporating Ru nanoparticles (NPs) along with a homogeneous Lewis acid catalyst, scandium triflate, into the nanocavities of a Zr MOF, MOF-808, the compound catalyst, Sc-Ru?MOF-808, can achieve aliphatic alcohol conversion up to 92% with ester selectivity up to 91%. A mechanistic study reveals a unique “via acetal” pathway in which the alcohol is first oxidized on Ru NPs and rapidly converted to an acetal on Sc(iii) sites. Then, the acetal slowly decomposes to release an aldehyde in a controlled manner for subsequent oxidation and esterification to the ester product. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of DAEC of aliphatic alcohols under solvent-free conditions with high conversion and ester selectivity.

A visible-light-promoted atomic substitution reaction for transforming thiocacids into carboxylic acids with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the oxygen source has been developed, affording various alkyl and aryl carboxylic acids in over 90% yields. The atomic substitution process proceeds smoothly through the photochemical reactivity of the formed hydrogen-bonding adduct between thioacids and DMSO. A DMSO-involved proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) and the simultaneous generation of thiyl and hydroxyl radicals are proposed to be key steps for realizing the transformation.

-
A one-pot procedure for deprotecting carboxylic esters under nonhydrolytic conditions is described. Typical alkyl carboxylates are readily deblocked to the carboxylic acids by the action of aluminum powder and iodine in anhydrous acetonitrile. Cleavage of lactones affords the corresponding ω-iodoalkylcarboxylic acids. Aryl acetylates undergo deacetylation with the participation of the neighboring group. This method enables the selective cleavage of alkyl carboxylic esters in the presence of aryl esters.

- Ferric ion concentration-controlled aerobic photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond with high selectivity and conversion
-
A Fe(III)-promoted highly selective photo-oxidation of benzylic C–H bond delivering relative carbonyl products is reported. By altering the concentration of ferric salt, methylarenes can be selectively oxidized under UV irradiation to furnish aromatic aldehydes or acids, respectively. By this protocol, the oxidation of ethylarenes provides the corresponding acetophenones. The reaction is inferred to involve divergent pathways in different concentrations of catalyst for the alternative selectivity between aldehydes and aicds. The reusable catalyst, high conversion and selectivity make this oxidation a green and economic protocol for the synthesis of aromatic carbonyl compounds.

- An efficient chromium(iii)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of methylarenes in water for the green preparation of corresponding acids
-
A highly efficient method to oxidize methylarenes to their corresponding acids with a reusable Cr catalyst was developed. The reaction can be carried out in water with 1 atm oxygen and K2S2O8as cooxidants, proceeds under green and mild conditions, and is suitable for the oxidation of both electron-deficient and electron-rich methylarenes, including heteroaryl methylarenes, even at the gram level. The excellent result, together with its simplicity of operation and the ability to continuously reuse the catalyst, makes this new methodology environmentally benign and cost-effective. The generality of this methodology gives it the potential for use on an industrial scale. Differing from the accepted oxidation mechanism of toluene, GC-MS studies and DFT calculations have revealed that the key benzyl alcohol intermediate is formed under the synergetic effect of the chromium and molybdenum in the Cr catalyst, which can be further oxidized to afford benzaldehyde and finally benzoic acid.

- Bimetallic oxide nanoparticles confined in ZIF-67-derived carbon for highly selective oxidation of saturated C–H bond in alkyl arenes
-
Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have recently emerged as an ideal type of carbon precursors with abundant tailorability. In this work, a series of ZIF-derived porous carbon catalysts have been prepared with encapsulation of bimetallic oxide nanoparticles via simple thermal treatment. The composition and structure of these catalysts were confirmed in detail by different characterization methods. The bimetallic oxide (Mn/Co, Fe/Co, and Cu/Co) nanoparticles were encapsulated in the nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon matrix. Moreover, the hierarchically porous structure and carbon defects were successfully constructed in the carbon catalysts. Additionally, in the selective oxidation of saturated C–H bonds in alkyl arenes, the carbon catalysts demonstrate outstanding performance for the oxidation of C–H bonds to corresponding carboxyl groups. This was due to their unique structure can greatly promote mass transfer and molecular oxygen activation, resulting in high conversion and high selectivity. Remarkably, this work here could also provide a novel strategy to the controllable synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived carbon catalysts for enhanced performance in heterogeneous catalysis.

This catalyst, in synergy with NHPI/O2 system, exhibited excellent catalytic ability and high selectivity in the oxidation of hydrocarbons and alcohols. Based on the experimental results, a reasonable reaction mechanism was proposed for the oxidation of alkanes and alcohols, respectively.

- Cu(II)-Based Ionic Liquid Supported on SBA-15 Nanoparticles Catalyst for the Oxidation of Various Alcohols into Carboxylic Acids in the Presence of CO2

In this paper, we have produced carboxylic acids by the oxidation of various alcohols in the presence of CO2 using SBA-15/IL supported Cu(II) (SBA-15/IL/Cu(II)) as nanocatalyst. The obtained products showed to have excellent yields by taking into account of SBA-15/IL/Cu(II) nanocatalyst. In addition, the analysis of EDX, SEM, TGA, TEM, XPS, and FT-IR showed the heterogeneous structure of SBA-15/IL/Cu (II) catalyst. It is determined that, after using SBA-15 excess, the catalytic stability of the system was enhanced. Moreover, hot filtration provided a full vision in the heterogeneous catalyst nature. The recycling as well as reuse of the catalyst were studied in cases of coupling reactions many times. Moreover, we have studied the mechanism of the coupling reactions.

- An Anionic, Chelating C(sp3)/NHC ligand from the Combination of an N-heterobicyclic Carbene and Barbituric Heterocycle

The coordination chemistry of the anionic NHC1-based on an imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene (IPy) platform substituted at the C5 position by an anionic barbituric heterocycle was studied with d6(Ru(II), Mn(I)) and d8(Pd(II), Rh(I), Ir(I), Au(III)) transition-metal centers. While the anionic barbituric heterocycle is planar in the zwitterionic NHC precursor 1·H, NMR spectroscopic analyses supplemented by X-ray diffraction studies evidenced the chelating behavior of ligand 1-through the carbenic and the malonic carbon atoms in all of the complexes, resulting from a deformation of the lateral barbituric heterocycle. The complexes were obtained by reaction of the free carbene with the appropriate metal precursor, except for the Au(III) complex 10, which was obtained by oxidation of the antecedent gold(I) complex [AuCl(1)]?with PhICl2as an external oxidant. During the course of the process, the kinetic gold(I) intermediate 9 resulting from the oxidation of the malonic carbon of the barbituric moiety was isolated upon crystallization from the reaction mixture. The νCOstretching frequencies recorded for complex [Rh(1)(CO)2] (5) demonstrated the strong donating character of the malonate-C(sp3)/NHC ligand 1-. The ruthenium complex [Ru(1)Cl(p-cymene)] (11) was implemented as a precatalyst in the dehydrogenative synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives from primary alcohols and exhibited high activities at low catalyst loadings (25-250 ppm) and a large tolerance toward functional groups.

- Atomically Dispersed Co Clusters Anchored on N-doped Carbon Nanotubes for Efficient Dehydrogenation of Alcohols and Subsequent Conversion to Carboxylic Acids
-
The catalytic dehydrogenation of readily available alcohols to high value-added carbonyl compounds is a research hotspot with scientific significance. Most of the current research about this reaction is performed with noble metal-based homogeneous catalysts of high price and poor reusability. Herein, highly dispersed Co-cluster-decorated N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co/N-CNTs) were fabricated via a facile strategy and used for the dehydrogenation of alcohols with high efficiency. Various characterization techniques confirmed the presence of metallic Co clusters with almost atomic dispersion, and the N-doped carbon supports also enhanced the catalytic activity of Co clusters in the dehydrogenation reaction. Aldehydes as dehydrogenation products were further transformed in situ to carboxylic acids through a Cannizzaro-type pathway under alkaline conditions. The reaction pathway of the dehydrogenation of alcohols was clearly confirmed by theoretical calculations. This work should provide an effective and simple approach for the accurate design and synthesis of small Co-clusters catalysts for the efficient dehydrogenation-based transformation of alcohols to carboxylic acids under mild reaction conditions.

- Hydrolysis of amides to carboxylic acids catalyzed by Nb2O5
-
Hydrolysis of amides to carboxylic acids is an industrially important reaction but is challenging due to the difficulty of cleaving the resonance stabilized amidic C-N bond. Twenty-three heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts were examined in the hydrolysis of acetamide. Results showed that Nb2O5was the most effective heterogeneous catalyst with the greatest yield of acetic acid. A series of Nb2O5catalysts calcined at various temperatures were characterized and tested in the hydrolysis of acetamide to determine the effects of crystal phase and surface properties of Nb2O5on catalytic performance. The high catalytic performance observed was attributed mainly to the facile activation of the carbonyl bond by Lewis acid sites that function even in the presence of basic inhibitors (NH3and H2O). The catalytic studies showed the synthetic advantages of the present method, such as simple operation, catalyst recyclability, additive free, solvent free, and wide substrate scope (>40 examples; up to 95% isolated yield).

- Selectively Upgrading Lignin Derivatives to Carboxylates through Electrochemical Oxidative C(OH)?C Bond Cleavage by a Mn-Doped Cobalt Oxyhydroxide Catalyst
-
Oxidative cleavage of C(OH)?C bonds to afford carboxylates is of significant importance for the petrochemical industry and biomass valorization. Here we report an efficient electrochemical strategy for the selective upgrading of lignin derivatives to carboxylates by a manganese-doped cobalt oxyhydroxide (MnCoOOH) catalyst. A wide range of lignin-derived substrates with C(OH)-C or C(O)-C units undergo efficient cleavage to corresponding carboxylates in excellent yields (80–99 %) and operational stability (200 h). Detailed investigations reveal a tandem oxidation mechanism that base from the electrolyte converts secondary alcohols and their derived ketones to reactive nucleophiles, which are oxidized by electrophilic oxygen species on MnCoOOH from water. As proof of concept, this approach was applied to upgrade lignin derivatives with C(OH)-C or C(O)-C motifs, achieving convergent transformation of lignin-derived mixtures to benzoate and KA oil to adipate with 91.5 % and 64.2 % yields, respectively.

- Oxidative carbon-carbon bond cleavage of 1,2-diols to carboxylic acids/ketones by an inorganic-ligand supported iron catalyst
-
The carbon-carbon bond cleavage of 1,2-diols is an important chemical transformation. Although traditional stoichiometric and catalytic oxidation methods have been widely used for this transformation, an efficient and valuable method should be further explored from the views of reusable catalysts, less waste, and convenient procedures. Herein an inorganic-ligand supported iron catalyst (NH4)3[FeMo6O18(OH)6]·7H2O was described as a heterogeneous molecular catalyst in acetic acid for this transformation in which hydrogen peroxide was used as the terminal oxidant. Under the optimized reaction conditions, carbon-carbon bond cleavage of 1,2-diols could be achieved in almost all cases and carboxylic acids or ketones could be afforded with a high conversion rate and high selectivity. Furthermore, the catalytic system was used efficiently to degrade renewable biomass oleic acid. Mechanistic insights based on the observation of the possible intermediates and control experiments are presented.

- Base-promoted one-pot synthesis of pyridine derivatives via aromatic alkyne annulation using benzamides as nitrogen source
-
In the presence of Cs2CO3, the first simple, efficient, and one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 3,5-diaryl pyridines via a variety of aromatic terminal alkynes with benzamides as the nitrogen source in sulfolane is described. The formation of pyridine derivatives accompanies the outcome of 1,3-diaryl propenes, which are also useful intermediates in organic synthesis. Thus, pyridine ring results from a formal [2+2+1+1] cyclocondensation of three alkynes with benzamides, and one of the alkynes provides one carbon, whilst benzamides provide a nitrogen source only. A new transformation of alkynes as well as new utility of benzamide are found in this work.

- Alkali-modified heterogeneous Pd-catalyzed synthesis of acids, amides and esters from aryl halides using formic acid as the CO precursor
-
To establish an environmentally friendly green chemical process, we minimized and resolved a significant proportion of waste and hazards associated with conventional organic acids and molecular gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO). Herein, we report a facile and milder reaction procedure, using low temperatures/pressures and shorter reaction time for the carboxyl- and carbonylation of diverse arrays of aryl halides over a newly developed cationic Lewis-acid promoted Pd/Co3O4catalyst. Furthermore, the reaction proceeded in the absence of acid co-catalysts, and anhydrides for CO release. Catalyst reusability was achievedviascalable, safer, and practical reactions that provided moderate to high yields, paving the way for developing a novel environmentally benign method for synthesizing carboxylic acids, amides, and esters.

- One-Pot Direct Oxidation of Primary Amines to Carboxylic Acids through Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed and TBHP-Promoted Oxidation Sequence
-
Biomimetic oxidation of primary amines to carboxylic acids has been developed where the copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO)-like o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation was combined with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like TBHP-mediated imine oxidation protocol. Notably, the current tandem oxidation strategy provides a new mechanistic insight into the imine intermediate and the seemingly simple TBHP-mediated oxidation pathways of imines. The developed metal-free amine oxidation protocol allows the use of molecular oxygen and TBHP, safe forms of oxidant that may appeal to the industrial application.

- Aerobic epoxidation of styrene over Zr-based metal-organic framework encapsulated transition metal substituted phosphomolybdic acid
-
Catalytic epoxidation of styrene with molecular oxygen is regarded as an eco-friendly alternative to producing industrially important chemical of styrene oxide (STO). Recent efforts have been focused on developing highly active and stable heterogeneous catalysts with high STO selectivity for the aerobic epoxidation of styrene. Herein, a series of transition metal monosubstituted heteropolyacid compounds (TM-HPAs), such as Fe, Co, Ni or Cu-monosubstituted HPA, were encapsulated in UiO-66 frameworks (denoted as TM-HPA@UiO-66) by direct solvothermal method, and their catalytic properties were investigated for the aerobic epoxidation of styrene with aldehydes as co-reductants. Among them, Co-HPA@UiO-66 showed relatively high catalytic activity, stability and epoxidation selectivity at very mild conditions (313 K, ambient pressure), that can achieve 82 % selectivity to STO under a styrene conversion of 96 % with air as oxidant and pivalaldehyde (PIA) as co-reductant. In addition, the hybrid composite catalyst can also efficiently catalyze the aerobic epoxidation of a variety of styrene derivatives. The monosubstituted Co atoms in Co-HPA@UiO-66 are the main active sites for the aerobic epoxidation of styrene with O2/PIA, which can efficiently converting styrene to the corresponding epoxide through the activation of the in-situ generated acylperoxy radical intermediate.

- Scrutinizing ligand exchange reactions in the formation of the precious group metal-organic framework RuII,II-HKUST-1: The impact of diruthenium tetracarboxylate precursor and modulator choice
-
The precious group metal (PGM) analogues of the iconic metal-organic framework [Cu3(BTC)2] (HKUST-1; BTC = 1,3,5 benzenetricarboxylate) still represent a synthetic challenge, especially if targeting the univalent and ideally defect-free RuII,IIvariant. Herein we present a systematic study employing the controlled secondary building unit approach (CSA) by using a variety of diruthenium tetracarboxylate complexes [Ru2(RCO2)4] as precursors in the synthesis of univalent Ru-HKUST-1 samples. Carboxylate ligand exchange test reactions suggest the importance of a pKamatch between precursor ligand and BTC linker. For example,l-mandelate substituted precursors resulted in the most “perfect” samples of the investigated series with a fourfold increase in crystalline domain sizes compared to the established acetate route (according to PXRD and HR-TEM), high compositional purity (FT-IR, Raman, TGA and elemental analysis) and feature a so far unprecedentedly high BET surface area of 1789 m2g?1with the expected pore size distribution and total pore volume all similar to the ideal HKUST-1 parent structure.

- Boulton-katritzky rearrangement of 5-substituted phenyl-3-[2-(Morpholin-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles as a synthetic path to spiropyrazoline benzoates and chloride with antitubercular properties
-
The analysis of stability of biologically active compounds requires an accurate determination of their structure. We have found that 5-aryl-3-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles are generally unstable in the presence of acids and bases and are rearranged into the salts of spiropyrazolinium compounds. Hence, there is a significant probability that it is the rearranged products that should be attributed to biological activity and not the primarily screened 5-aryl-3-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles. A series of the 2-amino-8-oxa-1,5-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-5-ium (spiropyrazoline) benzoates and chloride was synthesized by Boulton-Katritzky rearrangement of 5-substituted phenyl-3-[2-(morpholin-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazoles and characterized using FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Spiropyrazolylammonium chloride demonstrates in vitro antitubercular activity on DS (drug-sensitive) and MDR (multidrug-resistant) of MTB (M. tuberculosis) strains (1 and 2 μg/mL, accordingly) equal to the activity of the basic antitubercular drug rifampicin; spiropyrazoline benzoates exhibit an average antitubercular activity of 10-100 μg/mL on MTB strains. Molecular docking studies revealed a series of M. tuberculosis receptors with the energies of ligand-receptor complexes (?35.8-?42.8 kcal/mol) close to the value of intermolecular pairwise interactions of the same cation in the crystal of spiropyrazolylammonium chloride (?35.3 kcal/mol). However, only in complex with transcriptional repressor EthR2, both stereoisomers of the cation realize similar intermolecular interactions.

- Disproportionation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions
-
Disproportionation of aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions often requires the application of high temperatures, equimolar or excess quantities of strong bases, and is mostly limited to the aldehydes with no CH2 or CH3 adjacent to the carbonyl group. Herein, we developed an efficient, mild, and multifunctional catalytic system consisting AlCl3/Et3N in CH2Cl2, that can selectively convert a wide range of not only aliphatic, but also aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, acids, and dimerized esters at room temperature, and in high yields, without formation of the side products that are generally observed. We have also shown that higher AlCl3 content favors the reaction towards Cannizzaro reaction, yet lower content favors Tishchenko reaction. Moreover, the presence of hydride donor alcohols in the reaction mixture completely directs the reaction towards the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction.

- Recovery of Arenes from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) over a Co/TiO2 Catalyst
-
Upcycling of spent plastics has become a more emergent topic than ever before due to the rapid generation of plastic waste associated with the change of lifestyles of the human society. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a major aromatic plastic and herein, the conversion of PET back into arenes was demonstrated in a one-pot reaction combining depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) over a Co/TiO2 catalyst. The effectiveness of the Co/TiO2 catalyst in HDO and the underlining reaction pathway were established using the PET monomer terephthalic acid (TPA) as the substrate. Quantitative TPA conversion together with 75.2 mol% xylene and toluene selectivity under 30 bar initial H2 pressure at 340 °C was achieved after 4 h reaction. More encouragingly, the catalyst induced both depolymerization and HDO reaction via C?O bond cleavage when PET was used as a substrate. 78.9 mol% arenes (toluene and xylene) was obtained under optimized conditions.

- Radical induced disproportionation of alcohols assisted by iodide under acidic conditions
-
The disproportionation of alcohols without an additional reductant and oxidant to simultaneously form alkanes and aldehydes/ketones represents an atom-economical transformation. However, only limited methodologies have been reported, and they suffer from a narrow substrate scope or harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we report that alcohol disproportionation can proceed with high efficiency catalyzed by iodide under acidic conditions. This method exhibits high functional group tolerance including aryl alcohol derivatives with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, furan ring alcohol derivatives, allyl alcohol derivatives, and dihydric alcohols. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a 49% yield of 5-methyl furfural and a 49% yield of 2,5-diformylfuran were obtained simultaneously from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. An initial mechanistic study suggested that the hydrogen transfer during this redox disproportionation occurred through the inter-transformation of HI and I2. Radical intermediates were involved during this reaction.

The meso-positions on porphyrin macrocycle are substituted with pentafluorophenyl and N-butylcarbazole or triphenylamine groups. Pd(II) porphyrins displayed decent phosphorescence ~670 nm and are able to produce singlet oxygen by type II pathway, after photoirradiation. The calculated singlet oxygen quantum yields for Pd(II) porphyrins are (ΦΔ = 30%–63%). The catalytic application of Pd(II) porphyrins towards photoassisted aerobic oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to carboxylic acids is demonstrated.

- Catalytic C-H aerobic and oxidant-induced oxidation of alkylbenzenes (including toluene derivatives) over VO2+immobilized on core-shell Fe3O4?SiO2at room temperature in water
-
Direct C-H bond oxidation of organic materials, and producing the necessary oxygenated compounds under mild conditions, has attracted increasing interest. The selective oxidation of various alkylbenzenes was carried out by means of a new catalyst containing VO2+ species supported on silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles using t-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant at room temperature in H2O or solvent-free media. The chemical and structural characterization of the catalyst using several methods such as FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, FETEM, FESEM, SAED, EDX and XPS showed that VO2+ is covalently bonded to the silica surface. High selectivity and excellent conversion of various toluene derivatives, with less reactive aliphatic (sp3) C-H bonds, to related benzoic acids were quite noticeable. The aerobic oxygenation reaction of these alkylbenzenes was studied under the same conditions. All the results accompanied by sustainability of the inexpensive and simple magnetically separable heterogeneous catalyst proved the important criteria for commercial applications. This journal is

This research article demonstrates the synthesis, structural characterization, C–H functionalization, bactericidal activity and anti-proliferative studies of a mononuclear Au(III) complex, [Au(phen)Cl2]NO3 (1) [phen = 1,10-phenanthroline]. X-ray structural analysis of 1 reveals that the Au(III) complex crystallises in a monoclinic system with P21/c space group and adopts a perfect square planar geometry. The Au(III) complex has been evaluated as an efficient catalytic system towards C–H activation of a series of alkane molecules in presence of TBHP. The catalyst exhibits moderate to excellent reactivity with good selectivity toward aldehyde or ketone when aryl alkanes are used, and ketone is formed when cyclic alkanes are tested. This catalytic reaction recommends the involvement of freely diffusing hydroxyl radicals rather than metal-based oxidant for this course of catalysis. The cytotoxic activity of the Au(III) complex have been investigated against the A549 human lung cancer cell line that induces apoptosis mode of cell death and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential are prominent characteristics as an anti cancer drug as well as antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

- Palladium supported on a novel ordered mesoporous polypyrrole/carbon nanocomposite as a powerful heterogeneous catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids and ketones on water

Preparation of an ordered mesoporous polypyrrole/carbon (PPy/OMC) composite has been described through a two-step nanocasting process using KIT-6 as a template. Characterization of the PPy/OMC nanocomposite by various analysis methods such as TEM, XRD, TGA, SEM and N2 sorption confirmed the preparation of a material with ordered mesoporous structure, uniform pore size distribution, high surface area and high stability. This nanocomposite was then used for the immobilization of palladium nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were almost uniformly distributed on the support with a narrow particle size of 20-25 nm, confirmed by various analysis methods. Performance of the Pd?PPy/OMC catalyst was evaluated in the aerobic oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols on water as a green solvent, giving the corresponding carboxylic acids and ketones in high yields and excellent selectivity. The catalyst could also be reused for at least 10 reaction runs without losing its catalytic activity and selectivity. High catalytic efficiency of the catalyst can be attributed to a strong synergism between the PPy/OMC and that of supported Pd nanoparticles.

The amine-amide metal-ligand cooperation in cobalt catalyst is suggested to facilitate this transformation. The mechanistic studies indicate that in-situ-formed aldehydes react with a base through a Cannizzaro-type pathway, resulting in potassium hemiacetolate, which further undergoes catalytic dehydrogenation to provide the carboxylate salts and H2
