From Alkanes to Carboxylic Acids: Terminal Oxygenation by a Fungal Peroxygenase

A new heme–thiolate peroxidase catalyzes the hydroxylation of n-alkanes at the terminal position—a challenging reaction in organic chemistry—with H2O2as the only cosubstrate. Besides the primary product, 1-dodecanol, the conversion of dodecane yielded dodecanoic, 12-hydroxydodecanoic, and 1,12-dodecanedioic acids, as identified by GC–MS. Dodecanal could be detected only in trace amounts, and 1,12-dodecanediol was not observed, thus suggesting that dodecanoic acid is the branch point between mono- and diterminal hydroxylation. Simultaneously, oxygenation was observed at other hydrocarbon chain positions (preferentially C2 and C11). Similar results were observed in reactions of tetradecane. The pattern of products formed, together with data on the incorporation of18O from the cosubstrate H218O2, demonstrate that the enzyme acts as a peroxygenase that is able to catalyze a cascade of mono- and diterminal oxidation reactions of long-chain n-alkanes to give carboxylic acids.

MnIII ions that replace a few percent of the framework AlIII sites in a microporous aluminophosphate - number 18, with a pore aperture of 3.8 A - function as catalytically active centres for the selective oxidation of dodecane preferentially at C1 and C2.

Hydrogen gas can be generated from simple alkanes (e.g., n-pentane, n-hexane, etc.) and diethyl ether (Et2O) by mechanochemical energy using a planetary ball mill (SUS304, Fritsch Pulverisette 7), and the use of stainless steel balls and vessel is an important factor to generate the hydrogen. The reduction of organic compounds was also accomplished using the in-situ-generated hydrogen. While the use of pentane as the hydrogen source facilitated the reduction of the olefin moieties, the arene reduction could proceed using Et2O. Within the components (Fe, Cr, Ni, etc.) of the stainless steel, Cr was the metal factor for the hydrogen generation from the alkanes and Et2O, and Ni metal played the role of the hydrogenation catalyst.
“Inverse” Frustrated Lewis Pairs: An Inverse FLP Approach to the Catalytic Metal Free Hydrogenation of Ketones

For the first time have boron-containing weak Lewis acids been demonstrated to be active components of Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) catalysts in the hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols. Combining the organosuperbase (pyrr)3P=NtBu with the Lewis acid 9-(4-CF3-C6H4)-BBN generated an “inverse” FLP catalyst capable of hydrogenating a range of aliphatic and aromatic ketones including N-, O- and S-functionalized substrates and bio-mass derived ethyl levulinate. Initial computational and experimental studies indicate the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation with “inverse” FLPs to be different from conventional FLP catalysts that contain strong Lewis acids such as B(C6F5)3.

Irradiation of Cp2TiCl2 with green light leads to electronically excited [Cp2TiCl2]*. This complex constitutes an efficient photoredox catalyst for the reduction of epoxides and for 5-exo cyclizations of suitably unsaturated epoxides. To the best of our knowledge, our system is the first example of a molecular titanium photoredox catalyst.
Hydrolysis of acetals in water under hydrothermal conditions
Sato, Kimihiko,Kishimoto, Tsutomu,Morimoto, Minoru,Saimoto, Hiroyuki,Shigemasa, Yoshihiro
, p. 8623 - 8625 (2003)
A simple method for the hydrolysis of acetals and ketals was accomplished in neutral water or aqueous media by hydrothermal treatment without using acidic reagents. The deacetalization reaction was effectively accelerated in the presence of calcium chloride. Because no acidic catalysts were employed, neutralization of the reaction mixture was not necessary after the reaction. This sequence was successfully applied to the hydrolysis of chitosan, a biodegradable polyaminosaccharide.

Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones and Imines with Methanol under Base-Free Conditions Catalyzed by an Anionic Metal-Ligand Bifunctional Iridium Catalyst
Han, Xingyou,Li, Feng,Liu, Peng,Wang, Rongzhou,Xu, Jing
, p. 2242 - 2249 (2020/03/13)
An anionic iridium complex [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] was found to be a general and highly efficient catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines with methanol under base-free conditions. Readily reducible or labile substituents, such as nitro, cyano, and ester groups, were tolerated under present reaction conditions. Notably, this study exhibits the unique potential of anionic metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalysts for transfer hydrogenation with methanol as a hydrogen source.
