CeO2 has been found to promote ester forming alcoholysis reactions of tertiary amides. The present catalytic system is operationally simple, recyclable, and it does not require additives. The esterification process displays a wide substrate scope (>45 examples; up to 93 % isolated yield). Results of a density functional theory (DFT) study combined with in situ FT-IR observations indicate that the process proceeds through rate limiting addition of a CeO2 lattice oxygen to the carbonyl group of the adsorbed acetamide species with energy barrier of 17.0 kcal/mol. This value matches well with experimental value (17.9 kcal/mol) obtained from analysis of the Arrhenius plot. Further studies by in situ FT-IR and temperature programmed desorption using probe molecules demonstrate that both acidic and basic properties are important, and consequently, CeO2 showed the best performance for the C?N bond cleavage reaction.

A method for the selective monooxdiation of secondary benzylic C–H bonds is described using an N-oxyl catalyst and a hypervalent iodine species as a terminal oxidant. Combinations of ammonium iodate and catalytic N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were shown to be effective in the selective oxidation of n-butylbenzene directly to 1-phenylbutyl acetate in high yield (86%). This method shows moderate substrate tolerance in the oxygenation of substrates containing secondary benzylic C–H bonds, yielding the corresponding benzylic acetates in good to moderate yield. Tertiary benzylic C–H bonds were shown to be unreactive under similar conditions, despite the weaker C–H bond. A preliminary mechanistic analysis suggests that this NHPI-iodate system is functioning by a radical-based mechanism where iodine generated in situ captures formed benzylic radicals. The benzylic iodide intermediate then solvolyzes to yield the product ester.

An oxidation system comprising phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) and iodosobenzene with inorganic bromide, i.e., sodium bromide, in an organic solvent led to the direct introduction of carboxylic acids into benzylic C–H bonds under mild conditions. The unique radical species, generated by the homolytic cleavage of the labile I(III)–Br bond of the in situ-formed bromo-λ3-iodane, initiated benzylic carboxylation with a high degree of selectivity for the secondary benzylic position.

A core-shell nanozeolite@enzyme bi-functional catalyst is constructed, which greatly improves selectivity and stereoselectivity of products in dynamic kinetic resolution of aromatic secondary alcohols compared with mixed catalysts, especially those involving small acyl donors.

Catalytic oxidation of benzylic CH bonds with potassium bromate to carbonyl compounds was studied in the presence of ceria nanoparticles (NPs). Aldehydes and ketones in high yields were obtained when the oxidation was conducted in water/1,4-dioxane/acetic acid (AcOH) by ratio 5/1/1 (v/v/v). Benzyl esters were also yielded as the main products from the oxidation of benzylic CH bonds with potassium bromate in the presence of ceria NPs in glacial acetic acid. In comparison with other methods reported in the literature, ceria NPs as an efficient catalyst in oxidation of benzylic CH bonds have advantageous such as selectivity, recyclability, high reaction rate, and high yield of product because of their large specific surface area to volume ratio.

Treatment of alkylbenzenes with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in the presence of catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonamide or p-nitrobenzenesulfonamide, and molecular iodine in 1,2-dichloroethane at 60 °C gave the corresponding (α-acetoxy)alkylbenzenes in good to moderate yields. The present reaction is a simple method for the introduction of an acetoxy group to the benzylic position of alkylbenzenes.

The present study describes the first-time usage of an isolated thermostable Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (phenylacetone monooxygenase, PAMO) in the presence of ionic liquids. The stability, activity and selectivity of PAMO as an oxidative enzyme in the presence of different ionic liquids were studied. This revealed that the addition of some specific ionic liquids, such Ammoeng 102 and [bmim]MeSO4, can significantly enhance the E-value in the oxidation of racemic benzylketones. Moreover, the use of ionic liquids increases the optimal substrate concentration for performing Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, thereby extending the biocatalytic repertoire of PAMO for synthetic applications.

Twelve chiral secondary alcohols were synthesized by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) using C2-symmetric bis(sulfonamide) ligand (2) derived from (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and complexed with [RhCl 2CP*]2, [RuCl2(cymene)] 2, or [RuCl2(benzene)]2 and then used in situ in the reduction of prochiral ketones. The alcohols were obtained in 85-99% yield and 90-99% enantioselectivity with isopropanol as the hydrogen source. Two-fold rate enhancement and better yields were achieved (88-99%) with 80-99% enantioselectivity using the complex [RhCl2CP*] 2 and aqueous sodium formate as the hydrogen source.

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted α-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis.
