A new green, environmentally friendly and economically feasible method for the oxygenation of benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 4-bromobenzaldehyde to the corresponding carboxylic acids using air in the presence of hemoglobin as a water-soluble catalyst in aqueous media at room temperature is illustrated. The resulting products were obtained with (77-100%) conversion and 100% selectivity within a reasonable amount of time. In addition, the first direct characterization of a high-valent iron intermediate (HbFeIV+ =O) measured using Mass Spectroscopy (MS) and UV-vis spectroscopy proved that the major route for oxidation of aldehydes is (HbFeIV+ =O) production.
Mesoporous silica-supported Pd catalysts: An investigation into structure, activity, leaching and heterogeneity

Mesoporous silica functionalized by mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane can be loaded with palladium and the resulting material used as a catalyst for a variety of coupling reactions. The ordered silicate reacts with levels of Pd leaching in the low ppm to ppb range. The catalyst can be re-used multiple times with only moderate loss of activity or structure, depending on the method of incorporation of the thiol. A grafting approach gives a significantly more stable material which is likely insulated from attack by the aqueous base, while incorporation of the thiol by co-condensation gives a material with minimal stability under the reaction conditions. Several heterogeneity tests are performed on the catalyst including three-phase tests and poisoning studies. These indicate that the effective heterogeneity depends strongly on the solvent employed and the reaction conditions. Under non-aerobic conditions with a controlled ratio of sulfur ligand to palladium, low levels of reaction due to homogeneous species are observed, but as the organic content of the solvent is increased, more reaction on an immobilized reagent (as judged through the three-phase test) is observed. In addition, these studies highlight the constraints within which the three-phase test can be an accurate assessment of heterogeneity.
Experimental and theoretical studies of (4?+?1) annulations between α-oxoketenes and stable phosphorous, nitrogen, or sulfur ylides

α-Oxoketenes generated in situ by a microwave-assisted Wolff rearrangement at 170°C were found to react with stabilized sulfur ylides in (4?+?1) annulation processes to afford functionalized 3-hydroxyfurans. Theoretical mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeds in two steps via a short-lived betaine intermediate, a general feature of the reactions of α-oxoketenes with stable phosphorous, nitrogen, and sulfur ylides.
Synthesis, catalytic activity, and leaching studies of a heterogeneous Pd-catalyst including an immobilized bis(oxazoline) ligand

, p. 30 - 40 (2012)
The synthesis and characterization of a novel catalytic system including Pd(OAc)2 attached to a bis(oxazoline) (=BOX) ligand that is covalently bonded to 3-mercaptopropyl-functionalized silica gel is presented. The catalyst was tested for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of different aryl halides with phenylboronic acid. The heterogeneity of the catalytic system was investigated using different approaches, indicating that there is virtually no Pd leaching into the reaction solution under the applied reaction conditions. Furthermore, our results show that the catalytic system can be reused multiple times without significant loss of stability or structure.
Transformation of Thioacids into Carboxylic Acids via a Visible-Light-Promoted Atomic Substitution Process

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.
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.

Oxidation is a major chemical process to produce oxygenated chemicals in both nature and the chemical industry. Presently, the industrial manufacture of benzoic acids and benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) is mainly based on the deep oxidation of polyalkyl benzene, which is somewhat suffering from environmental and economical disadvantage due to the formation of ozone-depleting MeBr and corrosion hazards of production equipment. In this report, photo-induced deep aerobic oxidation of (poly)alkyl benzene to benzene (poly)carboxylic acids was developed. CeCl3 was proved to be an efficient HAT (hydrogen atom transfer) catalyst in the presence of alcohol as both hydrogen and electron shuttle. Dioxygen (O2) was found as a sole terminal oxidant. In most cases, pure products were easily isolated by simple filtration, implying large-scale implementation advantages. The reaction provides an ideal protocol to produce valuable fine chemicals from naturally abundant petroleum feedstocks. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
