We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

Cross-linked poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) resin beads were prepared as macromolecular ligand precursors by suspension copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent in water. Subsequently, the resulting polymer carrier precursor was readily combined with titanium tetrachloride to form a stable polymeric coordination complex (PNVP/TiCl4), and this novel stable TiCl4 equivalent evaluated as a heterogeneous and reusable solid Lewis acid catalyst for the regio-and stereoselective nucleophilic ring opening of various epoxides with various alcohols to prepare β-alkoxy alcohols in excellent yields without generating any waste. The MBA-cross-linked PNVP and resultant catalyst were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE–SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Moreover, the catalyst is very stable, easily separated, and reused at least five times without significant loss of activity. In terms of scope, yields, the amount of catalyst used, and reaction time, the PNVP-TiCl4 complex catalyst is an improvement over previously reported heterogeneous catalysts for ring opening of epoxides methods. Further, the experimental outcome revealed that using the copolymer beads as carriers with a high percentage of crosslinking and the high mesh size leads had an adverse effect on the reaction rate.

A novel macromolecular-metal coordination complex, MBA-cross-linked PNVP/FeCl3 material was fabricated by immobilization of water intolerant ferric chloride onto the porous cross-linked poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) carrier beads as a macromolecular ligand or carrier which was prepared by suspension free-radical copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and N,N′-methylene bis-acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent in water. The obtained PNVP/FeCl3 was characterized by UV/vis and FT-IR spectroscopies, TGA, FE-SEM, EDX, and ICP techniques. This heterogenized version of ferric chloride is a convenient and safe alternative to highly water intolerant ferric chloride. The catalytic performance of (PNVP/FeCl3) as an efficient and recyclable polymeric Lewis acid catalyst was appropriately probed in the regio-and stereoselective nucleophilic ring opening of various epoxides with various alcohols in excellent yields with TOF up to 182.48 h?1 without generating any waste. The activity data indicate that this heterogeneous catalyst is very active and could be easily recovered, and reused at least six times without appreciable loss of activity indicating its stability under experimental conditions.

The acid–base neutralization reaction of commercially available disodium 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonate (NDS, 2 equivalents) and the tetrahydrochloride salt of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TAPM, 1 equivalent) in water gave a novel three-dimensional charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded framework (CAHOF, F-1). The framework F-1 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, TGA, elemental analysis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The framework was supported by hydrogen bonds between the sulfonate anions and the ammonium cations of NDS and protonated TAPM moieties, respectively. The CAHOF material functioned as a new type of catalytically active Br?nsted acid in a series of reactions, including the ring opening of epoxides by water and alcohols. A Diels–Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methyl vinyl ketone was also catalyzed by F-1 in heptane. Depending on the polarity of the solvent mixture, the CAHOF F-1 could function as a purely heterogeneous catalyst or partly dissociate, providing some dissolved F-1 as the real catalyst. In all cases, the catalyst could easily be recovered and recycled.

Herein, a newly designed fiber-supported iron catalyst was successfully synthesized by rooting diamine ligands into the surface layer of commercially available polyacrylonitrile fiber and then utilizing the diamine groups to immobilize Fe(iii) ions for heterogeneous catalytic ring-opening reactions. The resulting materials were characterized and observed in detail by elemental analysis, mechanical properties, FTIR spectroscopy and morphology during both the preparation and the utilization processes. Moreover, the fiber catalyst was used in the spinning basket reactor-mediated ring-opening of various epoxides by a series of alcohols under mild reaction conditions, giving good to quantitative yields of the corresponding β-alkoxy alcohols. In addition, the fiber catalyst in the impellers of the agitation system was shown to be reusable multiple times without leaching of the Fe(iii) ions, and when stored on the shelf remained equally active for at least three months. Furthermore, the catalytic system was convenient and effective for scaling-up experiments and thereby has prospects in industrial applications.

The reaction of the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) and the diaqua complex [MoO2Cl2(H2O)2] in hydrochloric acid solution gave a water insoluble supramolecular compound with the general composition 2[MoO2Cl2(H2O)2]·CB[6]·xH2O·yHCl·z(CH3COCH3) (2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the presence of barrel-shape supramolecular entities, {CB[6]·10(H2O)}, aligned in layers which are shifted relative to adjacent layers to form a brick-like pattern. The CB[6]/water hydrogen-bonded entities further engage in intermolecular interactions with water, HCl and [MoO2Cl2(H2O)2] molecules to form a three-dimensional (3D) framework. Compound 2 was characterised by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), IR and Raman vibrational spectroscopy, and 13C{1H} CP MAS NMR. The reference complex [MoO2Cl2(H2O)2]·(diglyme)2 (1) and compound 2 were studied for the oxidative catalytic conversion of olefins (cis-cyclooctene, cyclohexene and styrene) with aqueous H2O2 as oxidant. Using alcohols as solvents, 2 was employed in a one-pot two-stage strategy for converting olefins to alkoxy products, which involves oxidation (with H2O2) and acid chemistry. Mechanistic studies were carried out using different intermediates as substrates, and the type of solvent and substrate scope were investigated. The results demonstrated the ability of the CB[6]/MoVI supramolecular adduct to function as an acid-oxidation multifunctional catalyst, and its recovery and reuse via relatively simple procedures.

An air-stable mononuclear complex of bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium pentafluorbezenesulfonate was successfully synthesized by treating C6F5SO3Ag with [(CH3)5Cp]2ZrCl2, which showed the cationic uninuclear structure of [{(CH3)5Cp}2Zr(CH3CN)2(H2O)][OSO2C6F5]2·CH3CN (1) confirmed by the X-ray analysis. Complex 1 was also characterized by other techniques and found to have the good nature of air-stability, water tolerance, thermally-stability and strong Lewis-acidity. Moreover, the complex showed high catalytic activity and recyclability in catalytic epoxide ring-opening reactions by amines or alcohols. This catalytic system affords a simple and efficient approach for synthesis of β-amino alcohols or β-alkoxy alcohols.

The indenyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes [IndMo(CO)2(L)n]BF4 (L = NCMe with n = 3 (1), 2,2′-bipyridine (2) or 1,4,7-trimethyltriazacyclononane (3) with n = 1) promote epoxide alcoholysis under moderate reaction conditions. Complexes 1 and 2 showed the best performance for the alcoholysis of styrene oxide with different alcohol nucleophiles (acting as both reactant and solvent), leading to the corresponding 2-alkoxy-2-phenylethanol with 100% yield at 10 min and 35 °C. These catalytic results are far superior to those found for previously studied molybdenum carbonyl complexes. An efficient procedure for catalyst recovery and reuse without decrease in reaction rate is described.

The complex (Htrz)2[Mo3O6(O2)4(trz)2]?H2O (1), isolated from the reaction of MoO3 with H2O2 in the presence of 1,2,4-triazole (trz), displays singular structural features such as double bridges comprising one oxido and one triazole ligand, and peripheral oxidodiperoxido-molybdenum(VI) units. A comparative study was performed regarding the catalytic activity and stability of complex 1 and the hybrid material [MoO3(trz)0.5] (2) for the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene (Cy8), the alcoholysis of epoxides, and the acetalization of benzaldehyde (PhCHO). Methanol or ethanol were used as solvents and reagents for the latter two reactions. For the substrates Cy8, styrene oxide, and PhCHO, the corresponding epoxide, β-alkoxy alcohol, and dialkyl acetal were obtained with 100 % selectivity at very high conversions. In general, 1 performed better than 2 for the different catalytic reactions. Under certain oxidant/co-solvent conditions used for Cy8 epoxidation, 1 was converted to 2 during the reaction.
