Mechanochemical Transformation of CF3 Group: Synthesis of Amides and Schiff Bases

We communicate two mild, solvent-free mechanochemical coupling transformations of CF3 group with nitro compounds into amides or Schiff bases employing Ytterbia as a catalyst. This process proceeds via C?F bond activation, accompanied with utilisation of Si-based reductants/oxygen scavengers – reductants of the nitro group. The scope and limitations of the disclosed methodologies are thoroughly studied. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first example of mechanical energy promoted transformation of the inert CF3 group into other functionalities. (Figure presented.).

Hemoglobin: A New Biocatalyst for the Synthesis of 2-substituted Benzoxazoles via Oxidative Cyclization

Efficient and mild synthesis of a series of 2-substituted benzoxazoles via oxidative cyclization catalyzed by hemoglobins reported here for the first time. Satisfactory yields (84 %–97 %) and mild reaction conditions make this method highly viable for practical applications.

Effect of substituents on the UV spectra of supermolecular system: Silver nanoparticles with bi-aryl Schiff bases containing hydroxyl

Effect of substituents on the ultraviolet (UV) spectra of supermolecular system involving silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Schiff bases was investigated. AgNPs and 49 samples of model compounds (MC), bi-aryl Schiff bases containing hydroxyl (XBAY, involving 4-OHArCH?NArY, 2-OHArCH?NArY, XArCH?NAr-4′-OH, and XArCH?NAr-2′-OH), were synthesized. The size of AgNPs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the UV absorption spectra of AgNPs, XBAYs, and MC-AgNPs mixed solutions were measured, respectively. The results show that (1) the size of AgNPs is larger in MC-AgNPs solutions than that in AgNPs solution due to the distribution of MC molecules on the surface of AgNPs; (2) the UV absorption wavelength of XBAYs changes in the action of AgNPs and their wavelength shift exists limitation between XBAY and MC-AgNPs solutions; and (3) the wavelength shift limit of MC-AgNPs (λWSL) is influenced by the substituents X and Y and the position of hydroxyl OH. The wavenumber ΔνWSL of λWSL can be quantified by employing the excited-state substituent constant σexCC and Hammett constant σ of substituents X and Y. Comparing with the 4-OH, the 4′-OH makes the ΔνWSL a red shift, whereas the 2′-OH, comparing with the 2-OH, makes the ΔνWSL a blue shift.

Oxidative NHC Catalysis for the Generation of Imidoyl Azoliums: Synthesis of Benzoxazoles

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of aldimines generated from 2-amino phenols and aromatic aldehydes leading to the synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazoles under mild conditions is presented. The reaction proceeds via the generation of the aza-Breslow intermediates from imines and NHC, which under oxidative conditions form the key imidoyl azoliums and a subsequent intramolecular cyclization furnishes the product. The reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups, and the products are formed in generally good yields.

Abnormal effect of hydroxyl on the longest wavelength maximum in ultraviolet absorption spectra for bis-aryl Schiff bases

Two sets of bis-aryl Schiff bases that contain 4(or 4′)-OH and 2(or 2′)-OH were synthesized. The first set consists of 4-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-4′, and the second set consists of 2-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-2′. Their ultraviolet absorption spectra were measured and investigated. A very interesting phenomenon was observed by analyzing their wave number νmax (cm?1) of longest wavelength maximum λmax (nm) of ultraviolet. Compared with the change regularity of the νmax of XArCH=NArY (where the X and Y excluded OH), the 4′-position hydroxyl (4′-OH) and 2′-position hydroxyl (2′-OH) have abnormal performance. The details are the following: the 4′-OH contributes an additional red shift to the νmax of XArCH=NArOH-4′ (λmax increase), whereas the 2′-OH contributes an additional blue shift to the νmax of XArCH=NArOH-2′ (λmax decrease). In addition, there are ortho steric effects of all 2-OH and 2′-OH on the νmax for 2-HOArCH=NArY and XArCH=NArOH-2′, and the ortho steric effect contributes a red shift to their νmax. These experimental facts can provide an important theoretical reference for us using aryl Schiff base compounds as optical materials and performing the molecular design.

OMS-2/H2O2/Dimethyl Carbonate: An Environmentally-Friendly Heterogeneous Catalytic System for the Oxidative Synthesis of Benzoxazoles at Room Temperature

A manganese octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) was found to be an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidative synthesis of benzoxazoles in the gram-scale from phenolic imines at room temperature. H2O2 and biobased reagent dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were successfully employed as the environmentally friendly oxidant and solvent, respectively, in an OMS-2-catalysted redox reaction for the first time. Benzoxazoles could also be obtained from N-substituted 2-aminophenols via Cu(OH)x/OMS-2-catalyzed sequential oxidative transformation at elevated temperatures.

Sustainable Synthesis of 2-Arylbenzoxazoles over a cobalt-based nanocomposite catalyst

A new cobalt-based heterogeneous catalyst was prepared by adsorbing in situ produced nitrogen-ligated cobalt(II) acetate complexes on commercially available SiO2 and subsequent pyrolysis at 800 °C for 2 h under N2 atmosphere. By applying this catalyst under the O2 balloon, the aerobic oxidation of phenolic imines proceeded smoothly and gave various 2-arylbenzoxazoles in good yields. Meanwhile, on the basis of the experimental results, a plausible reaction pathway was described to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Synthesis of 2-substituted pyrimidines and benzoxazoles via a visible-light-driven organocatalytic aerobic oxidation: Enhancement of the reaction rate and selectivity by a base

An efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic oxidation of various 2-substituted dihydropyrimidines and phenolic imines has been achieved using an organic photocatalyst eosin Y bis(tetrabutyl ammonium salt) (TBA-eosin Y) and inexpensive oxidant molecular oxygen. With the aid of a base, significantly enhanced photoinduced electron transfer from substrates dihydropyrimidines or phenolic imines to the excited state of TBA-eosin Y has enabled the aerobic oxidation to yield 2-(methylthio)pyrimidines or 2-arylbenzoxazoles selectively.
