Fabrication of an amyloid fibril-palladium nanocomposite: A sustainable catalyst for C-H activation and the electrooxidation of ethanol

Amyloids are highly ordered nanofibrils and their tensile strength is similar to that of steel, which makes them resistant to extreme pH and temperature. Based on this rationale, we demonstrate a facile synthesis of palladium, copper, platinum, gold and silver nanocomposites using α-Synuclein (α-Syn) fibrils as a template. We showed that an α-Syn-fibril-palladium nanoparticles (α-Syn-PdNPs) composite can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst in C-H bond activation and the electrooxidation of ethanol. The study demonstrated α-Syn-PdNPs to be a superior heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable benzofuran, naphthofuran, coumarin and N-arylindole via C-H activation. Further, the electrooxidation of ethanol using α-Syn-PdNPs displayed an electrochemically active surface area of 160.6 m2 g-1, which is much higher than the previously reported values for supported Pd nanocomposites.

Enantio- and Diastereoselective, Complete Hydrogenation of Benzofurans by Cascade Catalysis

We report an enantio- and diastereoselective, complete hydrogenation of multiply substituted benzofurans in a one-pot cascade catalysis. The developed protocol facilitates the controlled installation of up to six new defined stereocenters and produces architecturally complex octahydrobenzofurans, prevalent in many bioactive molecules. A unique match of a chiral homogeneous ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complex and an in situ activated rhodium catalyst from a complex precursor act in sequence to enable the presented process.

Synthesis of Benzofuran and Indole Derivatives Catalyzed by Palladium on Carbon

Benzofurans and indoles are key moieties in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a cheap and easy-to-execute strategy for the synthesis of benzofurans and indoles, employing Pd/C as the promoter. A variety of substituted allyl-anilines and allyl-phenols were converted into the desired products in good to excellent yields. Recycling of Pd/C was possible up to five cycles, keeping similar levels of reactivity.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of benzofurans and coumarins from phenols and olefins

Triple C-H functionalization: Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of benzofurans and coumarins by reacting phenols and unactivated olefins is described. The reaction comprises sequential C-H functionalization and shows diverse functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed light into the possible mechanisms. Copyright

SELECTIVE PREPARATION AND CYCLIZATION OF 2-(2-HYDROXYPHENYL)-2-(ISOPROPYLTHIO)ETHANOLS. NEW SYNTHESIS OF 1-BENZOFURANS

Reaction of phenols with 2-(isopropylthio)ethyl acetate activated by sulphuryl chloride afforded 2-phenols regioselectively, via sigmatropic rearrangement of phenoxysulphonium ylides.The ortho-alkylated phenols thus obtained have been cyclized with conc. hydrochloric acid in 2-methoxyethanol to 1-benzofurans. 2-Methyl- and 2-phenyl-1-benzofurans have been prepared similarly.
