A quinoline alkaloid rich Quisqualis indica floral extract enhances the bioactivity

A volatile alkaloid quinoline-4-carbonitrile (QCN) was isolated from the floral extract of Quisqualis indica. Major compounds were trans-linalool oxide (1.0, 4.5%), methyl benzoate (1.0, 4.0%), 2,2,6-trimethyl-6-vinyl-tetrahydropyran-3-one (7.4, 17.8%), 2,2,6-trimethyl-6-vinyl-tetrahydropyran-3-ol (1.0, 1.2%), (E,E)-α-farnesene (29.1, 16.1%), QCN (5.7, 1.3%) in live and picked flowers, respectively. Flower compositions were altered due to change in enzymatic reaction at the time of picking. Some rearrangements of oxygenated terpenoids occurred in the process of hydrodistillation to obtain essential oil. Chemical synthesis of QCN and its selectively reduced products derived from QCN were prepared through green reaction process. The catalytic modification of QCN has produced quinoline-4-methylamine; the later compound has shown enhanced bio-activities. QCN and floral extract (absolute) have shown potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Besides, floral absolute has shown significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities due to improved QCN (19.7%) content to synergize amongst terpenoids and benzenoids as compared to the essential oil with 1.1% of QCN.

Explaining the Size Dependence in Platinum-Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Hydrogenation Reactions

Hydrogenation reactions are industrially important reactions that typically require unfavorably high H2pressure and temperature for many functional groups. Herein we reveal surprisingly strong size-dependent activity of Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) in catalyzing this reaction. Based on unambiguous spectral analyses, the size effect has been rationalized by the size-dependent d-band electron structure of the PtNPs. This understanding enables production of a catalyst with size of 1.2 nm, which shows a sixfold increase in turnover frequency and 28-fold increase in mass activity in the regioselective hydrogenation of quinoline, compared with PtNPs of 5.3 nm, allowing the reaction to proceed under ambient conditions with unprecedentedly high reaction rates. The size effect and the synthesis strategy developed herein may provide a general methodology in the design of metal-nanoparticle-based catalysts for a broad range of organic syntheses.

Heterogeneous Hydrogenation of Quinoline Derivatives Effected by a Granular Cobalt Catalyst

We communicate a convenient method for the pressure hydrogenation of quinolines in aqueous solution by using a particulate cobalt-based catalyst that is prepared in situ from simple Co(OAc)2 4H2O through reduction with abundant zinc powder. This catalytic protocol permits a brisk and atom-efficient access to a variety of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines thereby relying solely on easy-to-handle reagents that are all readily obtained from commercial sources. Both the reaction setup assembly and the autoclave charging procedure are conducted on the bench outside an inert-gas-operated containment system, thus rendering the overall synthesis time-saving and operationally very simple.

Method for preparing tetrahydroquinoline compounds by catalytic hydrogenation of ruthenium catalyst

The invention relates to a method for preparing tetrahydroquinoline compounds by catalytic hydrogenation of a ruthenium catalyst, which comprises the following steps: by using p-cymene ruthenium chloride dimer as a catalyst and hydrogen as a reducing agent, mixing the p-cymene ruthenium chloride dimer, phosphine ligand and quinoline compounds, and dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent to react, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the tetrahydroquinoline derivative. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of easily available raw materials, mild conditions, simpleoperation, atom economy, simple and green synthesis process, mild reaction conditions, excellent selectivity, high yield and good reaction universality, and has a wide application value in fine chemical intermediate synthesis.

Chemoselective and Tandem Reduction of Arenes Using a Metal–Organic Framework-Supported Single-Site Cobalt Catalyst

The development of heterogeneous, chemoselective, and tandem catalytic systems using abundant metals is vital for the sustainable synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. We report a robust and recyclable single-site cobalt-hydride catalyst based on a porous aluminum metal–organic framework (DUT-5 MOF) for chemoselective hydrogenation of arenes. The DUT-5 node-supported cobalt(II) hydride (DUT-5-CoH) is a versatile solid catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of a range of nonpolar and polar arenes, including heteroarenes such as pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles, and furans to afford cycloalkanes and saturated heterocycles in excellent yields. DUT-5-CoH exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and could be reusable at least five times without decreased activity. The same MOF-Co catalyst was also efficient for tandem hydrogenation–hydrodeoxygenation of aryl carbonyl compounds, including biomass-derived platform molecules such as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural to cycloalkanes. In the case of hydrogenation of cumene, our spectroscopic, kinetic, and density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest the insertion of a trisubstituted alkene intermediate into the Co–H bond occurring in the turnover limiting step. Our work highlights the potential of MOF-supported single-site base–metal catalysts for sustainable and environment-friendly industrial production of chemicals and biofuels.

Utilization of renewable formic acid from lignocellulosic biomass for the selective hydrogenation and/or N-methylation

Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most abundant renewable sources in nature. Herein, we have developed the utilization of renewable formic acid from lignocellulosic biomass as a hydrogen source and a carbon source for the selective hydrogenation and further N-methylation of various quinolines and the derivatives, various indoles under mild conditions in high efficiencies. N-methylation of various anilines is also developed. Mechanistic studies indicate that the hydrogenation occurs via a transfer hydrogenation pathway.

Homogeneous pressure hydrogenation of quinolines effected by a bench-stable tungsten-based pre-catalyst

We report on an operationally simple catalytic method for the tungsten-catalyzed hydrogenation of quinolines through the use of the easily handled and self-contained precursor [WCl(η5-Cp)(CO)3]. This half sandwich complex is indefinitely storable on the bench in simple screw-capped bottles or stoppered flasks and can, if required, be prepared on a multi-gram scale while the actual catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of a Lewis acid in order to achieve both decent substrate conversions and product yields. The described method represents a facile and atom-efficient access to a variety of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines that circumvents the use of cost-intensive and oxygen-sensitive phosphine ligands as well as auxiliary hydride reagents.

Biogenic Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles on a Green Support as a Reusable Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Nitroarene and Quinoline

Direct attachment of gold nanoparticles to a green support without the use of an external reducing agent and using it for removing toxic pollutants from wastewater, i. e., reduction of nitroarene to amine, are described. A novel approach involving the reduction of gold by the jute plant (Corchorus genus) stem-based (JPS) support itself to form nanoparticles (AuNPs) to be used as a catalytic system (‘dip-catalyst’) and its catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of series of nitroarenes in aqueous media are presented. AuNPs/JPS catalyst was characterized using SEM, UV-Vis, FTIR, TEM, XPS, and ICP-OES. Confined area elemental mapping exhibits uniform and homogeneous distribution of AuNPs on the support surface. TEM shows multi-faceted AuNPs in the range of 20–30 nm. The reactivity of AuNPs/JPS for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarene as well as hydrogenation of quinoline under molecular H2 pressure was evaluated. Sodium borohydride, when used as the hydrogen source, demonstrates a high catalytic efficiency in the transfer hydrogenation reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Quinoline is quantitatively and chemoselectively hydrogenated to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (py-THQ) using molecular hydrogen. Reusability studies show that AuNPs are stable on the support surface and their selectivity is not affected.

Cu-Catalyzed Chemoselective Reduction of N-Heteroaromatics with NH3·BH3 in Aqueous Solution

An efficient catalytic system was successfully developed on reduction of N-heteroaromatics with H3N?BH3 as hydrogen source in CuSO4 solution, featuring excellent chemoselectivity as well as very broad functional group tolerance. Various challenging substrates, such as OH-, NH2-, Cl-, Br-, etc., contained quinolines, quinoxalines, 1,5-naphthyridines and quinazolines were all reduced smoothly. Mechanistic studies suggested that [Cu-H] intermediate might be generated from NH3?BH3, which was believed to form with H3N?BH3 in CuSO4 solution.

Catalytic Hydrogenation of Substituted Quinolines on Co–Graphene Composites

A set of 20 composites was prepared by pyrolysis of Co2+ complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline, melamine and 1,2-diaminobenzene. These composites were tested as the catalysts for the hydrogenation of quinolines. As shown by powder X-ray diffraction and TEM, the composited contained Co particles of several dozen nm sizes. The composition (elements content), Raman spectra X-ray photoelectron spectra parameters of the composites were analyzed. It was found that there was no distinct factor that controlled the yield of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in the investigated process. The yields of the respective products were in the range 90–100 %. The three most active composites were selected for scale-up and hydrogenation of a series of substituted quinolines. Up to 97 % yield of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline was obtained on a 50 g scale. Five representative substituted quinolines were synthesized on a 10–20 grams scale using the Co-containing composites as the catalysts.
