A new C(sp3)?H functionalization reaction consisting of the oxidative α-allylation of allyl- and benzyl- methyl ethers has been developed. The C?C coupling could be carried out under mild conditions thanks to the use of cheap and green oxoammonium salts. The scope of the reaction was studied over 27 examples, considering the nature of the substituents on the two coupling partners.

A series of cinnamic acid derivatives and its heteroaromatic ring analogues were synthesized and evaluated for acaricidal activity in vitro against Psoroptes cuniculi, a mange mite. Among them, eight compounds showed the higher activity with median lethal concentrations (LC50) of 0.36–1.07 mM (60.4–192.1 μg/mL) and great potential for the development of novel acaricidal agent. Compound 40 showed both the lowest LC50 value of 0.36 mM (60.4 μg/mL) and the smallest median lethal time (LT50) of 2.6 h at 4.5 mM, comparable with ivermectin [LC50 = 0.28 mM (247.4 μg/mL), LT50 = 8.9 h], an acaricidal drug standard. SAR analysis showed that the carbonyl group is crucial for the activity. The type and chain length of the alkoxy in the ester moiety and the steric hindrance near the ester group significantly influence the activity. The esters were more active than the corresponding thiol esters, amides, ketones or acids. Replacement of the phenyl group of cinnamic esters with α-pyridyl or α-furanyl significantly increase the activity. Thus, a series of cinnamic esters and its heteroaromatic ring analogues with excellent acaricidal activity emerged.

Catalytic static mixers were used for the continuous flow hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls, nitro- and diazo-compounds, nitriles, imines, and halides. This technique relies on tubular reactors fitted with 3D printed static mixers which are coated with a catalytic metal layer, either Pd or Ni. Additive manufacturing of the metal mixer scaffold results in maximum design flexibility and is compatible with deposition methods such as metal cold spraying which allow for mass production and linear process scale up. High to full conversion was achieved for the majority of substrates, demonstrating the flexibility and versatility of the catalytic static mixer technology. In the example of an alkyne reduction, the selectivity of the flow reactor could be directed to either yield an alkene or alkane product by simply changing the reactor pressure.
Auto-Tandem Catalysis with Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Reductive Etherification of Aldehydes and Ketones

Herein we report that a single frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyst can promote the reductive etherification of aldehydes and ketones. The reaction does not require an exogenous acid catalyst, but the combined action of FLP on H2, R-OH or H2O generates the required Br?nsted acid in a reversible, “turn on” manner. The method is not only a complementary metal-free reductive etherification, but also a niche procedure for ethers that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even intractable to access by alternative synthetic protocols.

The decarboxylative coupling of cinnamic acids with alcohols and the oxidative coupling of alkenes with aldehydes are typical organic reactions. Considering the characteristics and mechanisms of the reactions, the Cu-doped zeolite-X catalyst (Cu-X) with Lewis basic sites was synthesized and used for the two reactions. Compared with Cu, Cu2O, and CuBr2 catalysts (4-21%), the Cu-X catalyst (99%) shows extraordinary high activity in the decarboxylative coupling of cinnamic acids with alcohols. In addition, the Cu-X catalyst presents excellent performance in the oxidative coupling of alkenes with aldehydes. The strong interaction between Cu+ and the zeolite framework benefits the transformation of Cu2+ and Cu+ in the redox process, enhancing the reaction activity. More importantly, the Lewis basic sites on the Cu-X catalyst could favor the adsorption of the cinnamic acid, resulting in electron-rich density in the C=C bond, and therefore greatly improving the reaction activity.

In the presence of activated MnO2, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in CH2Cl2 is able to oxidize the allylic and benzylic methylene groups of different classes of compounds. I describe a one-pot oxidation protocol based on two sequential steps. In the first step, carried out at low temperature, MnO2 catalyses the oxidation of the methylene group. This is followed by a second step where reaction temperature is increased, allowing MnO2 both to catalyse the decomposition of unreacted TBHP and to oxidize allylic alcohols that could possibly be formed. The proposed oxidation procedure is generally applicable, although its efficiency, regioselectivity, and chemoselectivity are strongly dependent on the structure of the substrate. A simple and user-friendly synthetic procedure for the oxidation of allylic and benzylic methylene groups to the corresponding conjugated carbonyl derivatives is described. The proposed oxidation protocol is based on the combined use of MnO2 and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and is generally applicable.

A method to oxidatively cleave allyl ethers to their corresponding aldehydes mediated by an oxoammonium salt is described. Using a biphasic solvent system and mild heating, cleavage proceeds readily, furnishing a variety of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones.

Synthesis of primary alcohols from terminal alkenes is an important process in both bulk and fine chemical syntheses. Herein, a homogeneous Pd-complex-catalyzed transformation of terminal alkenes into primary allylic alcohols, by using 5 mol % [Pd(PPh3)4] as a catalyst, and H2O, CO2, and quinone derivatives as reagents, is reported. When alcohols were used instead of H2O, allylic ethers were obtained. A proposed mechanism includes the addition of oxygen nucleophiles at the less-hindered terminal position of π-allyl Pd intermediates.

C-O bond cleavage of allylic alkyl ether was realized in a Pd-catalyzed hydrogen-bond-activated allylic alkylation using only alcohol solvents. This procedure does not require any additives and proceeds with high regioselectivity. The applicability of this transformation to a variety of functionalized allylic ether substrates was also investigated. Furthermore, this methodology can be easily extended to the asymmetric synthesis of enantiopure products (99% ee).
