We report molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) encapsulated in N-doped carbon as an efficient and stable catalyst for oxidant-free dehydrogenation of alcohols, prepared by anion exchange of H3PMo12O40 (PMo) with an ionic copolymer (DIM-AN) of dicationic imidazole ionic liquid and acrylonitrile, followed by a two-step carbonization at 400 °C in air and 800 °C in Ar. The synthesized catalyst (PMo@DIM-AN400/800) exhibits outstanding catalytic activity and selectivity for dehydrogenation of various alcohols under oxidant-free conditions and can be steadily reused at least five times for dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol without changing its crystalline structure. The characterizations and comparative experimental results demonstrate that the active sites for dehydrogenation stem from the Mo2C, as well as the abundant N atoms in the carbon shell, which contribute to the enhancement of catalytic performance. The strategy for the preparation of such N-doped carbon encapsulated Mo2C using polyoxometalate-based ionic hybrids as precursors may open up new opportunities for exploring more transition-metal carbides for more catalytic applications.

The reactions of copper(II) salts with simple terpyridine (tpy) ligands gave mononuclear monoligand complexes 1-3, of which two new structures have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes were applied as catalysts for the oxidation of benzylic alcohol to benzaldehyde in air in the presence of the radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO). Copper complexes 1 and 2 are efficient catalysts for the reactions in water at 70 C with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as an extra base. The influence of TEMPO on the formation of new reactive intermediates during the catalytic reactions was tentatively investigated by introducing TEMPO into the reaction solutions of tpy derivatives with copper dichloride. Two new complexes with interesting solid-state structures resulting from these reactions have been isolated and characterized. The coordination reactions in the presence of TEMPO led to new mixed-valence CuICuII supramolecular assembles (4 and 5), although they adopt either discrete complex or 1D polymeric structures. Further catalytic studies indicated that the mixed-valence assembles 4 and 5 displayed higher catalytic activity than those of the mononuclear complexes under milder conditions. The relationship between the molecular structures of diverse copper complexes and their reactivity is discussed on the basis of the results obtained.

Ti3C2/TiO2 nanowires with excellent photocatalytic performance for selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes
Xu, Chong,Yang, Fan,Deng, Bijian,Zhuang, Yue,Li, Dingyao,Liu, Baocheng,Yang, Wang,Li, Yongfeng
, p. 1 - 12 (2020)
The Ti3C2/TiO2 nanowires photocatalyst is synthesized by in situ growth through a facile hydrothermal method and mild chemical processes for the first time. The Ti3C2/TiO2-0.7 exhibits high photocatalytic activity for selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes under visible light irradiation. The 92% benzyl alcohol conversion and almost 99% selectivity is observed for the Ti3C2/TiO2-0.7 photocatalyst, higher than that of P25 and TiO2 nanowires. Results reveal that the photocatalytic activity of this photocatalyst is mainly attributed to the introduction of Ti3C2, which results in the narrowed energy band gap by altering the position of CB and VB of TiO2 and the enhanced light-harvesting ability. In our design, a Schottky barrier is established between Ti3C2 and TiO2 nanowires to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Significantly, the feasible reaction mechanism of Ti3C2/TiO2 nanowires photocatalyst under visible light is proposed.

Acetylenic Scaffolding with Subphthalocyanines
Gotfredsen, Henrik,Jevric, Martyn,Kadziola, Anders,Nielsen, Mogens Brondsted
, p. 17 - 21 (2016)
A new boron subphthalocyanine (SubPc) derivative with a terminal alkyne substituent on the central boron atom was prepared by substitution of a triflate at the boron atom with but-3-yn-1-ol. This compound was shown to be a versatile building block for metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, such as modified Glaser-Hay, Cadiot-Chodkiewicz, and Sonogashira reactions as well as the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). For example, metal-catalyzed reactions provided access to a SubPc dimer containing a butadiyne bridging unit, two different SubPc-fullerene dyads as well as two cross-conjugated SubPc-tetraethynylethene (TEE) scaffolds. These TEEs containing two silyl-protected alkyne units are potential building blocks for further acetylenic scaffolding. The work shows how the axial position is post-functionalized in steps not involving a substitution reaction at the central boron atom, which is otherwise often used as the terminal step in axial functionalization of SubPcs.
Chiral tetranuclear and dinuclear copper(ii) complexes for TEMPO-mediated aerobic oxidation of alcohols: Are four metal centres better than two?

, p. 12313 - 12320 (2014)
The one-pot reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, (R)-2-aminoglycinol and Cu(OAc)2·2H2O in a 1:1:1 ratio in the presence of triethylamine led to the isolation of X-ray quality crystals of the chiral complex (R)-1 in high yield. The single crystal structure of (R)-1 reveals a tetranuclear copper(ii) complex that contains a {Cu 4(μ-O)2(μ3-O)2N 4O4} core. A reaction using (1S,2R)-2-amino-1,2- diphenylethanol as precursor under the same conditions generated the chiral complex (S,R)-2; its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to contain a {Cu2(μ-O) 2N2O2} core. Both (R)-1 and (S,R)-2 have been used for catalytic aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols in combination with the TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl) radical. (R)-1 selectively catalyses the conversion of various aromatic primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes with high yields (99%) and TONs (770) in the air, while (S,R)-2 exhibits less promising catalytic performance under the same reaction conditions. The role of the cluster structures in (R)-1 and (S,R)-2 in controlling the reactivity towards aerobic oxidation reactions is discussed.

In this communication, we report the superior role of 1,3-dimethyl-2- imidazolidinone (DMI) as a solvent for aromatic Finkelstein iodination (AFI), the conversion of aryl bromides to aryl iodides. DMI accelerates the reaction rate and affords product(s) that could not be prepared using previous methods. Our findings for AFI avoid the use of toxic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and hexamethylphosphoramide. Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Mardani, Atefeh,Kazemi, Foad,Kaboudin, Babak
, (2021/05/04)
In this report, tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) was introduced as an efficient visible light active catalyst to carry out the aerobic oxidation of toluene, its derivatives, and some of methyl arenes to benzaldehydes, benzoic acids and ketones in good to high yields. All the oxidation reactions were performed under mild conditions using oxygen as a green oxidant, a catalytic amount of TBATB under blue (460 nm), royal blue (430 nm), and violet LED (400 nm) irradiation. It was found that the reactions selectivity was significantly affected by changing the solvent (from CH3CN to EtOAc) and LED wavelength (from blue to violet). In the following, our mechanistic studies revealed that the visible light oxidation of toluenes and methyl arenes over TBATB could be following a benzyl peroxy radical intermediate.

An efficient magnetically recyclable bimetallic catalyst by anchoring copper and manganese complexes on the Fe3O4 NPs was prepared and named as Fe3O4@Cu-Mn. It was founded as a powerful catalyst for the domino one-pot oxidative benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions from benzyl alcohols as a green protocol in the presence of air, under solvent-free and mild conditions. Fe3O4@Cu-Mn NPs were well characterized by FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, VSM, TGA, EDX, DLS, and ICP analyses. The optimum range of parameters such as time, temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvent were investigated for the domino one-pot benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions to find the optimum reaction conditions. The catalyst was compatible with a variety of benzyl alcohols, which provides favorable products with good to high yields for all of derivatives. Hot filtration and Hg poisoning tests from the nanocatalyst revealed the stability, low metal leaching and heterogeneous nature of the catalyst. To prove the synergistic and cooperative effect of the catalytic system, the various homologues of the catalyst were prepared and then applied to a model reaction separately. Finally, the catalyst could be filtered from the reaction mixture simply, and reused for five consecutive cycles with a minimum loss in catalytic activity and performance. Graphic Abstract: A new magnetically recyclable Cu/Mn bimetallic catalyst has been developed for domino one-pot oxidation-condensation of benzimidazole and Biginelli reactions from alcohols.
