Development of new hybrid materials having unique and unprecedented catalytic properties is a challenge for chemists, and heterogeneous-homogeneous hybrid catalysts have attracted much attention because of the preferable and exceptional properties that are highly expected to result from combination of the components. Base catalysts are widely used in organic synthesis as key materials, and a new class of base catalysts has made a large impact from academic and industrial viewpoints. Here, a principle for creating a new strong base by hybridization of homogeneous and heterogeneous components is presented. It is based on the modification of organic compounds with metal oxides by using the acid-base property of metal oxides. Based on kinetic and DFT studies, combination of CeO2 and 2-cyanopyridine drastically enhanced the basicity of 2-cyanopyridine by a factor of about 109 (～9 by pKa (in CH3CN)), and the pKa was estimated to be ～21, which locates it in the superbase category. 2-Cyanopyridine and CeO2 formed a unique adsorption complex via two interaction modes: (i) coordinative interaction between the Ce atom of CeO2 and the N atom of the pyridine ring in 2-cyanopyridine, and (ii) covalent interaction between the surface O atom of CeO2 and the C atom of the CN group in 2-cyanopyridine by addition of the lattice oxygen of CeO2 to the CN group of 2-cyanopyridine. These interactions established a new, strongly basic site of N- over the CeO2 surface.

The catalytic hydroalkoxylation of α,β-unsaturated esters, nitriles, and ethers with aliphatic and aromatic alcohols over pollucite using thermal and microwave-assisted methods was investigated. To study the effect of the alcohol structures on the mechanism of the hydroalkoxylation reaction, different alcohols, such as methanol to butanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, and 2-ethylhexanol were used. The activities of pollucite, in contrast to other basic solids, were scarcely affected by the presence of air and moisture. The correlation between alcohol acidity and reaction activity is discussed. The prepared pollucite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, volumetric nitrogen adsorption surface area analysis, and CO2 temperature-programmed desorption. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the size of the modified nano catalyst particles was under 40nm.
Solid sodium stannate as a high-efficiency superbase catalyst for anti-Markovnikov hydroamination and hydroalkoxylation of electron-deficient olefins under mild conditions

A solid superbase with H- above 26.5 has been obtained through thermal treatment of sodium stannate hydrate. It was found to be an efficient catalyst for anti-Markovnikov hydroamination and hydroalkoxylation of electron-deficient olefins under mild conditions.
