A convenient approach for the synthesis of β-cyanoepoxides is illustrated by iodine(III)-catalyzed epoxidation of electron-deficient β-cyanostyrenes, wherein the active catalytic iodine(III) species was generated in situ. The epoxidation of β-cyanostyrenes was performed using 10 molpercent PhI as precatalyst in the presence of 2.0 equivalents Oxone as an oxidant and 2.4 equivalents of TFA as an additive at room temperature under ultrasonic radiations. The β-cyanoepoxides were isolated in good to excellent yields in a short reaction time.

In the present work, a new MOF material of the UiO-family called Zr-UiO-66-NH-CH2-Py (1) has been obtained by the solvothermal technique and successfully characterized. The MOF structure was assembled with 2-((pyridin-4-ylmethyl) amino) terephthalic acid (H2BDC-NH-CH2-Py) as linker and Zr4+ ion. The activated form of 1 (called 1′) exhibits considerable thermal and chemical stability. Compound 1′ showed a very rapid and selective response for the fluorometric sensing of superoxide (O2·-) in aqueous medium even in the presence of the potentially competitive reactive oxygen species (ROS). The limit of detection value for O2·- sensing is 0.21 μM, which is comparable with those of the reported O2·- sensors. This is the first MOF based fluorescent sensor for the detection of O2·-. The response time of this MOF sensor for O2·- is very short (240 s). On the other hand, 1′ was employed as a solid heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation between benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate at 80 °C in ethanol resulting in a very high yield of the desired product. The effects of the esterified linker ((CH3)2BDC-NH-CH2-Py) and the corresponding metal salt (ZrCl4) on this catalytic reaction were examined separately. We have also tested the substrate scope elaborately for the catalytic reaction promoted by catalyst 1′.

A mild, elegant, catalyst free, and waste free methodology has been developed for the clear-cut synthesis of a diverse range of nitriles, acrylates, and acrylamides in good to excellent yields using aqueous propan-1,2-diol, a green reaction medium, at ambient temperature. Operational simplicity and recyclability of the reaction medium are added advantages of the methodology.
