The change of atom density induced structural collapse in the transformation process from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to their inorganic counterparts is a major challenge to the achievement of porous hollow structures. Herein, we develop an amino acid-mediated strategy for transformation of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) to successfully synthesize well-defined porous cages of titanium oxides (PCT) due to sheets serving as structural scaffolds. On this basis, PCT supported Pt-based nanoparticles are generated via a similar synthetic route, and are utilized to study the selective hydrogenation of carbonyl groups in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, benefiting from the specific structures of PCT and tunable electronic structures of Pt mainly affected by doping with metal species such as Co. In this case, Pt-Co/PCT composites give 96% selectivity for cinnamyl alcohol at 100% conversion of cinnamaldehyde under 0.2 MPa H2 and 80 °C for 3 h. This research would offer a promising strategy for important organic transformations in academic and industrial research to selectively synthesize high-value-added products.

Although the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde to unsaturated alcohol (UOL) is an extremely important transformation, it is still a great challenge to achieve high selectivity to UOL due to thermodynamic favoring of the C[dbnd]C hydrogenation over the C[dbnd]O hydrogenation. Herein, we report that iridium nanoclusters (Ir NCs) confined within hollow MIL-101(Fe) expresses satisfied reaction activity (93.9%) and high selectivity (96.2%) for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to cinnamyl alcohol (COL) under 1 bar H2 atmosphere and room temperature. The unique hollow structure of MIL-101(Fe) benefits for the fast transport of reactant, ensuring the comparable reaction activity and better recyclability of Ir@MIL-101(Fe) than the counterparts which Ir NCs were on the surface of MIL-101(Fe). Furthermore, The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data indicates the electropositive Ir NCs, owing to the electron transfer from Ir to MIL-101(Fe), can interact with oxygen lone pairs, and Fourier transform infrared spectrum shows the Lewis acid sites in MIL-101(Fe) can strongly interact with C[dbnd]O bond, which contributes to a high selectivity for COL. This work suggests the considerable potential of synergetic effect between hollow MOFs and metal nanoclusters for selective hydrogenation reactions.

The photoinduced chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated carbonyls to allylic alcohols has been accomplished using cluster-based MOFs as bifunctional visible photocatalysts. Assemblies of hexanuclear clusters [Cu6(dmpymt)6] (1, Hdmpymt = 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione) as metalloligands with CuI or (Ph3P)CuI yielded cluster-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) {[Cu6(dmpymt)6]2[Cu2(μ-I)2]4(CuI)2}n (2), {[Cu6(dmpymt)6]2[Cu2(μ-I)2]4}n (3), respectively. Nanoparticles (NPs) of 2 and 3 served both as photosensitizers and photocatalysts for the highly chemoselective reduction of unsaturated carbonyl compounds to unsaturated alcohols with high catalytic activity under blue LED irradiation. The photocatalytic system could be reused for several cycles without any obvious loss of efficiency.

A fluoride-promoted intramolecular Sakurai allylation of geminal bis(silyl) enamide with indolenine has been developed. The reaction facilitates an efficient cyclization to give hexahydropyrido[3,4-b]indoles in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. The resulted cis, trans-stereochemistry further enables the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of two alkene moieties, giving a tetracyclic N-hetereocycle widely found as the core structure in akuammiline alkaloids.

Methanol is an abundant and renewable chemical raw material, but its use as a C1 source in C-C bond coupling reactions still constitutes a big challenge, and the known methods are limited to the use of expensive and noble metal catalysts such as Ru, Rh and Ir. We herein report nickel-catalyzed direct coupling of alkynes and methanol, providing direct access to valuable allylic alcohols in good yields and excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. The approach features a broad substrate scope and high atom-, step- and redox-economy. Moreover, this method was successfully extended to the synthesis of [5,6]-bicyclic hemiacetals through a cascade cyclization reaction of alkynones and methanol.

The development of cheap and robust heterogeneous catalysts for the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction is desirable due to the difficulties in product isolation and catalyst recovery associated with the traditional use of homogeneous catalysts for MPV. Herein, we show that microwave heated γ-Al2O3 can be used for the reduction of aldehydes to alcohols. The reaction is efficient and has a broad substrates scope (19 entries). The products can be isolated by simple filtration, and the catalyst can be regenerated. With the use of microwave heating, we can direct the heating to the catalyst rather than to the whole reaction medium. Furthermore, DFT was used to study the reaction mechanism, and we can conclude that a dual-site mechanism is operative where the aldehyde and 2-propoxide are situated on two adjacent Al sites during the reduction. Additionally, volcano plots were used to rationalize the reactivity of Al2O3 in comparison to other metal oxides.

Two hydrogenation mechanisms, transfer and catalytic hydrogenation, were combined to achieve higher regulation of hydrogenation chemoselectivity of cinnamyl aldehydes. Transfer hydrogenation with ammonia borane exclusively reduced C=O bonds to get cinnamyl alcohol, and Pt-loaded metal–organic layers efficiently hydrogenated C=C bonds to synthesize phenyl propanol with almost 100 % conversion rate. The hydrogenation could be performed under mild conditions without external high-pressure hydrogen and was applicable to various α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.

Simplifying biomass conversion to valuable products with high efficiency is pivotal for the sustainable development of society. Herein, an efficient catalyst-free system using ammonia borane (AB) as the hydrogen donor is described, which enables controllable reaction selectivity towards four value-added products in excellent yield (82-100%) under very mild conditions. In particular, the system is uniquely efficient to produce γ-valerolactone (GVL) at room temperature. Combined in situ NMR and computational studies elucidate the hydrogen transfer mechanism of AB in methanol, the novel pathway of GVL formation from levulinate in water, and a competitive mechanism between reduction and reductive amination in the same system. Moreover, carbohydrates are converted directly into GVL in good yield, using a one-pot, two-step strategy. Products of a rather broad scope are prepared within a short reaction time of 30 min by using this catalyst-free strategy in methanol at room temperature. This journal is

An iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction with 2-alkoxy carbonyl-1,3-dithianes has been achieved with high regio- and enantioselectivities. The transformation provides a new method for the enantioselective α-functionalization of dithianes. The corresponding dithiane-containing products are easily converted into many other derivatives with high yields and enantioselectivities.
