CoII immobilized on an aminated magnetic metal-organic framework catalyzed C-N and C-S bond forming reactions: A journey for the mild and efficient synthesis of arylamines and arylsulfides

In this work, we report a simple and versatile method for the modification of a metal-organic framework (NH2-MIL53(Al)) in a step-wise manner. To characterize the synthesized nanostructured catalyst, a variety of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including FT-IR, XRD, BET, TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, EDX-mapping, TGA, XPS, VSM, ICP-OES and CHN have been employed. Fe3O4@AMCA-MIL53(Al)-NH2-CoII NPs, which benefit from small nanocrystalline size (10-30 nm, according to the XRD and TEM data) in combination with the coexistence of magnetic nanoparticles, a metal-organic framework, and cobalt species, were found to be an excellent environment catalyst to promote the C-N and C-S cross coupling reactions. A wide range of functional substrates including electron-withdrawing and electron-donating aryl halides underwent the coupling reaction with aromatic/heteroaromatic/benzylic and aliphatic amines and sulfides. The results demonstrated that the yields of the target products were good to excellent and the catalyst can be recycled for at least seven recycling runs without a discernible decrease in its catalytic activity. Furthermore, the heterogeneity studies (such as hot filtration and poisoning tests) efficiently confirmed that the as-synthesized nanostructured catalyst is heterogeneous and completely stable under the reaction conditions. We hope that our study inspires more interest in designing novel catalysts based on using low-cost metal ions (such as cobalt) in the field of cross coupling reactions.

Phosphorus pentasulfide mediated conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols

In this paper we report an efficient and mild procedure for the conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols in the presence of phosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5) in refluxing toluene. The method avoids the use of expensive and hazardous transition metals and harsh reducing agents, as required by reported methods, and provides an attractive alternative to the existing methods for the conversion of organic thiocyanates to thiols.

Oligomerisation reactions of beta substituted thiols in water

Beta substituted thiols and various derivatives containing the HX-C-C-SH motif oligomerise in water, preferably in the presence of a carbonate salt. The reaction yields oligomers consisting of one thiol end group, a thiaethylene backbone and an additional terminal group corresponding to the starting material used. Mechanistic studies, as well as the scope of substrates and products of these new promising condensation processes, are presented. In addition, strong nucleophiles were also reacted with mercaptoethanol under simple reaction conditions, leading to the selective formation of more complex molecules.
