Hollow yolk-shell nanoreactors are of great interest in heterogeneous catalysis owing to their improved mass transfer ability and stability. Here, we report a facile and straight route to synthesize a highly efficient and recyclable yolk-shell Co@C-N nanoreactor with controllable properties by the direct thermolysis of a hollow Zn/Co-ZIF precursor. Based on systematical optimization of the pyrolysis temperature and the shell-thickness of Zn/Co-ZIFs, we could completely anchor and stabilize uniform Co nanoparticles (NPs) in the hollow yolk, accommodated by the Co-ZIF derived N-doped carbon nanosheets. This nanosheet-assembled yolk was further confined by a permeable and robust N-doped carbon (C-N) shell to protect the Co NPs against leaching and also enabled the reaction to take place in the hollow void. Consequently, the optimal yolk-shell Co@C-N nanoreactor showed a significantly enhanced catalytic activity for the aqueous oxidation of alcohols, yielding >99% conversion under atmospheric air and base-free conditions, which was much higher than that of the solid counterparts derived from pure ZIF-67 and solid core-shell ZIF-67@ZIF-8 precursors (with 14% and 59% conversion under the same reaction condition, respectively). The enhanced catalytic activity should be attributed to the yolk-shell structure that could facilitate the transport of reactant/product and the strong interaction between the Co NPs and N-doped carbon nanosheet to afford positive synergistic effects. Moreover, this catalyst also showed good recyclability, magnetically reusability, and general applicability for a broad substrate scope, further highlighting the structure superiority of our yolk-shell nanoreactor. This strategy might open an avenue to synthesize various hollow yolk-shell nanoreactors with controllable structures and enhanced catalytic performances.

2-Pivaloylamino-6-formylpterin (1a) and a series of other important heterocyclic aldehydes (2a, 3a, 4a, 6a, and 7a) have been synthesized in good yield by microwave assisted selenium dioxide oxidation. Interestingly, 2-methylpyrazine gives 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid (5a) under the similar condition.

Hydroxymethyl substituted aromatic heterocycles, including pyridines, furans, and thiophenes, are oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes in excellent yields by 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1- oxoammonium perchlorate (1) with minimal workup.
Methyl Scanning and Revised Binding Mode of 2-Pralidoxime, an Antidote for Nerve Agent Poisoning

Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and, despite the Chemical Weapons Convention arms control treaty, continue to represent a threat to both military personnel and civilians. 2-Pralidoxime (2-PAM) is currently the only therapeutic countermeasure approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treating OPNA poisoning. However, 2-PAM is not centrally active due to its hydrophilicity and resulting poor blood-brain barrier permeability; hence, these deficiencies warrant the development of more hydrophobic analogs. Specifically, gaps exist in previously published structure activity relationship (SAR) studies for 2-PAM, thereby making it difficult to rationally design novel analogs that are concomitantly more permeable and more efficacious. In this study, we methodically performed a methyl scan on the core pyridinium of 2-PAM to identify ring positions that could tolerate both additional steric bulk and hydrophobicity. Subsequently, SAR-guided molecular docking was used to rationalize hydropathically feasible binding modes for 2-PAM and the reported derivatives. Overall, the data presented herein provide new insights that may facilitate the rational design of more efficacious 2-PAM analogs.
Acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols on a diruthenium(II,II) platform

The diruthenium(II,II) complex [Ru2(L1)(OAc)3]Cl (1), spanned by a naphthyridine-diimine ligand and bridged by three acetates, has been synthesized. The catalytic efficacy of complex 1 has been evaluated for the acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) of alcohols and for the dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alcohols with Wittig reagents. The diruthenium(II,II) complex is an excellent catalyst for AD of a diverse range of alcohols, and it is shown to be particularly effective for the conversion of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes without undesired side products such as esters. Triphenylphosphonium ylides in a one-pot reaction with alcohols afforded the corresponding olefins in high yields with excellent E selectivity. The liberated dihydrogen gas was identified and measured to be 1 equiv with respect to alcohol. Deuteration studies with PhCD2OH revealed the absence of isotope scrambling in the product, indicating the involvement of a Ru-monohydride intermediate. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations suggest a low-energy bimetallic β-hydride elimination pathway where rate-limiting intramolecular proton transfer from alcohol to metal-bound hydride constitutes the dehydrogenation step. The general utility of metal-metal bonded compounds for alcohol AD and subsequent coupling reactions is demonstrated here.
