A highly regio- and stereoselective sulfonylation of allenes was developed that provided direct access to α, β-substituted unsaturated sulfone. By means of visible-light photoredox catalysis, the free radicals produced by p-toluenesulfonic acid reacted with multisubstituted allenes to obtain Markovnikov-type vinyl sulfones with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 or Rhodamine B as photocatalyst. The yield of this reaction could reach up to 91%. A series of unsaturated sulfones would be used for further transformation to some valuable compounds.

The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.

Two strategies were reported to prevent the deactivation of Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes: reducing the Lewis acidity and polymerizing the Lewis acid. A polymeric Lewis acid (P-BPh3) with high stability was designed and synthesized. Excellent conversion (up to 99%) and selectivity can be achieved in the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes catalyzed by P-BPh3. This catalytic system works quite well for different substrates. In addition, the P-BPh3 can be easily recycled.

Porous organic materials (polymers and COFs) have shown a number of promising properties; however, the lability of their linkages often limits their robustness and can hamper downstream industrial application. Inspired by the outstanding chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance of the 1D polymer poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS), we have designed a new family of porous poly(aryl thioether)s, synthesized via a mild Pd-catalyzed C–S/C–S metathesis-based method, that merges the attractive features common to porous polymers and PPS in a single material. In addition, the method is highly modular, allowing to easily introduce application-oriented functionalities in the materials for a series of environmentally relevant applications including metal capture, metal sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. Moreover, despite their extreme chemical resistance, the polymers can be easily recycled to recover the original monomers, offering an attractive perspective for their sustainable use. In a broader context, these results clearly demonstrate the untapped potential of emerging single-bond metathesis reactions in the preparation of new, recyclable materials.

The palladium azolate/carboxylate network (Pd-dmpzc) catalyses the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene in water. Under optimised conditions, at a Pd:NaBH4 ratio of 1:100 at 40 °C, Pd-dmpzc provided much better results than Pd(OAc)2 or PdCl2(CH3CN)2. Analysis of the recovered catalyst revealed the presence of different Pd2+ species and Pd0 NPs which contributed in the catalytic reaction.

In this work, two types of polyporous and coral-like materials (CN) with high specific surface area are prepared using sodium glutamate as a carrier. At the same time, a CN-supported phosphorus-nitrogen-doped palladium nanomaterial CN-P-Pd is synthesized and applied to the preparation of styrene by selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene under mild conditions. As shown in the TEM images, Pd nanoparticles with a particle size of about 4.4 nm are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the carrier. The results of N2 adsorption–desorption reveal that the surface area of the prepared catalyst (CN-P-Pd) is 1307 m2g?1. In addition, the experimental exploration shows the intervention of P in carbon-nitrogen materials can contribute to improve the selectivity of the reaction, which can be attributed to the fact that P element can change the electron density of Pd. Meanwhile, it is found that the solvent not only affects the activity of catalyst, but also the selectivity of the reaction. Kinetic study shows the activation energy of the reaction is 4.5 kJ/mol. With the increase of the reaction temperature, the dissolution rate of hydrogen in the solvent gradually slows down, which inhibits the progress of the reduction reaction. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the carbon-nitrogen materials have strong adsorption capacity for substrates, and also provide more adsorption sites for phenylacetylene. Additionally, the optimal catalyst (CN-P-Pd) also has high reaction activity to other alkynes and the conversion can reach at 95%. Moreover, the optimal catalyst can be reused several times without significant reduction in reaction activity.

In this work we have found, that the water-soluble cis,mer-[IrH2Cl(mtppms)3] (mtppms = monosulfonated triphenylphosphine Na-salt) was an excellent catalyst for reduction of terminal alkynes by hydrogen transfer from aqueous HCOOH/HCOONa mixtures. The conversions strongly depended on the pH of the reaction mixtures, and the highest rate of phenylacetylene transfer hydrogenation was observed at pH 3. The same dihydrido-Ir(III) complex actively catalyzed also the hydrogenation of terminal alkynes under mild conditions (T = 50 °C; P(H2) = 2–10 bar). Importantly, both the hydrogenation and hydrogen transfer reductions afforded exclusively the corresponding alkenes as products. Phenylacetylene and its substituted derivatives reacted smoothly, while benzylic and aliphatic alkynes were less reactive or did not react at all. It was also found, that an excess of the mtppms ligand inhibited the reaction. This was rationalized by formation of cisz-[IrH2(mtppms)4]+ which was also confirmed with multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of the experimental results, a joint mechanism was suggested for both the hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation pathways. The mechanism of hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of phenylacetylene was also studied by DFT calculations, which revealed several possibilities for protonation of a vinyl intermediate as the crucial step in formation of the styrene product.

The reaction of [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] and bis-4,40-(RfCH2OCH2)-2,2'-bpy (1a-d), where Rf = n- C11F23 (a), n-C10F21 (b), n-C9F19 (c) and n-C8F17 (d), respectively, in the presence of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) resulted in the synthesis of Pd complex, [PdCl2[4,4'-bis-(RfCH2OCH2)-2,2'-bpy] (2a-d). The Pd-catalyzed Stille arylations of vinyl tributyltin with aryl halides were selected to demonstrate the feasibility of recycling usage with 2a as the catalyst using NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) as the solvent at 120-150 °C. Additionally, recycling and electronic effect studies of 2a-c were also carried out for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of phenylboronic acid derivatives, 4-X-C6H4-B(OH)2, (X = H or Ph) with aryl halide, 4-Y-C6H4-Z, (Y = CN, H or OCH3; Z = I or Br) in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 135-150 °C. At the end of each cycle, the product mixtures were cooled to lower temperature (e.g., -10 °C), and then catalysts were recovered by decantation with Pd leaching less than 1%. The products were quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis or by the isolated yield. The complex 2a-catalyzed Stille reaction of aryl iodides with vinyl tributyltin have good recycling results for a total of 8 times, with a high yield within short period of time (1-3 h). Similarly, 2a-c-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions also have good recycling results. The electronic effect studies from substituents in both Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions showed that electron withdrawing groups speed up the reaction rate. To our knowledge, this is the first example of recoverable fluorous long-chained Pd-catalyzed Stille reactions under the thermomorphic mode.

Herein, we report an iron(II)-catalyzed polymerization of arylallenes. This reaction proceeds rapidly at room temperature in the presence of a hydride co-catalyst to generate polymers of weight up to Mn=189 000 Da. We have determined the polymer structure and chain length for a range of monomers through a combination of NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis. Mechanistically, we postulate that the co-catalyst does not react to form an iron(II) hydride in situ, but instead the chain growth is proceeding via a reactive Fe(III) species. We have also performed kinetic and isotopic experiments to further our understanding. The formation of a highly unusual 1,3-substituted cyclobutane side-product is also investigated.
