The reductive coupling of phthalic anhydrides with acetone by Zn-TiCl4 in THF gave two-to-one and one-to-one coupled products. The coupled products were transformed to 3,3-diisopropyl-, 3-isopropylidene-, and 3-isopropylphthalides. In addition, the reductive coupling of phthalic anhydrides with acetonylacetone by Zn-TiCl4 in THF gave 3-spirocyclopentanylphtalides stereoselectively.

The construction of layered covalent carbon nitride polymers based on tri-s-triazine units has been achieved by using nucleobases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil) and urea to establish a two-dimensional semiconducting structure that allows band-gap engineering applications. This biomolecule-derived binary carbon nitride polymer enables the generation of energized charge carrier with light-irradiation to induce photoredox reactions for stable hydrogen production and heterogeneous organosynthesis of C?O, C?C, C?N and N?N bonds, which may enrich discussion on chemical reactions in prebiotic conditions by taking account of the photoredox function of conjugated carbonitride semiconductors that have long been considered to be stable HCN-derived organic macromolecules in space.

We herein report the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonates and polycarbonates into their corresponding diols/alcohols using well-defined, air-stable, high-valent cobalt complexes. Several novel Cp*Co(III) complexes bearing N,O-chelation were isolated for the first time and structurally characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray crystallography. These novel Co(III) complexes have shown excellent catalytic activity to produce value added diols/alcohols from carbonate and polycarbonates through hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen as sole reductant or iPrOH as transfer hydrogenation source. To demonstrate the developed methodology's practical applicability, we have recycled the bisphenol A monomer from compact disc (CD) through hydrogenation under the established reaction conditions using phosphine-free, earth-abundant, air- and moisture-stable high-valent cobalt catalysts.

Employing photo-energy to drive the desired chemical transformation has been a long pursued subject. The development of homogeneous photoredox catalysts in radical coupling reactions has been truly phenomenal, however, with apparent disadvantages such as the difficulty in separating the catalyst and the frequent requirement of scarce noble metals. We therefore envisioned the use of a hyper-stable III-V photosensitizing semiconductor with a tunable Fermi level and energy band as a readily isolable and recyclable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for radical coupling reactions. Using the carbonyl coupling reaction as a proof-of-concept, herein, we report a photo-pinacol coupling reaction catalyzed by GaN nanowires under ambient light at room temperature with methanol as a solvent and sacrificial reagent. By simply tuning the dopant, the GaN nanowire shows significantly enhanced electronic properties. The catalyst showed excellent stability, reusability and functional tolerance. All reactions could be accomplished with a single piece of nanowire on Si-wafer. This journal is
