In this study, we combined photo-organo redox catalysis and biocatalysis to achieve asymmetric C–H bond functionalization of simple alkane starting materials. The photo-organo catalyst anthraquinone sulfate (SAS) was employed to oxyfunctionalise alkanes to aldehydes and ketones. We coupled this light-driven reaction with asymmetric enzymatic functionalisations to yield chiral hydroxynitriles, amines, acyloins and α-chiral ketones with up to 99 % ee. In addition, we demonstrate functional group interconversion to alcohols, esters and carboxylic acids. The transformations can be performed as concurrent tandem reactions. We identified the degradation of substrates and inhibition of the biocatalysts as limiting factors affecting compatibility, due to reactive oxygen species generated in the photocatalytic step. These incompatibilities were addressed by reaction engineering, such as applying a two-phase system or temporal and spatial separation of the catalysts. Using a selection of eleven starting alkanes, one photo-organo catalyst and 8 diverse biocatalysts, we synthesized 26 products and report for the model compounds benzoin and mandelonitrile > 97 % ee at gram scale.

Main observation and conclusion: We have developed an efficient synthesis of acrylonitriles via mild base promoted tandem nucleophilic substitution-isomerization of α-cyanohydrin methanesulfonates with alkenylboronic acids. This transition metal-free protocol works under simple and mild conditions and offers good chemical yields for a wide range of substrates and demonstrates good functional group tolerance.

In this work, pyridyl-appended Co3+ complexes (1 and 2) have been postfunctionalized by using 4-(bromomethyl)benzoic acid, thus changing the functionalities from pyridyl-N donors to carboxylate-O donors. Using two such postfunctionalized metalloligands (3 and 4), several homo and heterometallic coordination polymers (HCPs) have been synthesized. Single crystal structural analyses revealed that all HCPs presented intriguing one-dimensional catenated architectures. Postsynthetic modification induced flexibility was found to be responsible for the nearly identical architectures for two sets of HCPs starting from two different postfunctionalized metalloligands, 3 and 4. Two sets of HCPs differed by the presence (3a-3d) or absence (4a-4b) of labile coordinated water molecules that demonstrated a profound effect on the heterogeneous catalysis of Knoevenagel condensation reactions and cyanation reactions.
