Metal organic-framework MIL-101 and inorganic mesoporous composites Al2O3@SBA-15 supported Pt catalysts, Pt/MIL-101 and Pt/Al2O3@SBA-15 catalysts, were prepared and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO chemisorption and thermo-gravimetric (TG) analysis. Pt nanoparticles were highly dispersed on both supports. In liquid-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene, benzaldehyde and their derivatives, the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst was superior to the Pt/Al2O3@SBA-15 catalyst in water. For liquid-phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene with the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst, owing to high solubility of nitrobenzene in ethanol, the reaction in ethanol went much faster than that in water, furnishing a turnover frequency (TOF) in ethanol up to 18,053 h-1, almost triple of that obtained in water under similar conditions. The highest TOF of 25,438 h-1 was obtained in ethanol for hydrogenation of 3-chloro-nitrobenzene with the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst. As for hydrogenation of benzaldehyde series, 2-fluoro-benzaldehyde and 3-fluoro-benzaldehyde gave the highest TOFs of 5146 h-1 and 3165 h-1 in water with the Pt/MIL-101 and Pt/Al2O3@SBA-15 catalysts, respectively. We deduce that surface property of MIL-101 with high hydrophobicity is helpful to enrich reactants around the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst in water, where nitrobenzene or benzaldehyde and its derivatives have a limited solubility, so that high catalytic performance was achieved with the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst in water. Of particular note is that the Pt/MIL-101 catalyst can be reused at least four times without loss in activity or selectivity.

The reaction of 4,6-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,2-diazaphosphinine (3) with two equivalents of MeCCPPh2 gave two isomeric products, 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,5-dimethylphosphinine (5) and 2,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,6-dimethylphosphinine (6), which were successfully separated and their molecular structures determined by X-ray crystallography. Although the 2,6-bis(iminophosphorano)phosphinine 7 was readily synthesised from 5 using mesityl azide, its coordination to late transition metals was not achieved. The reaction of 2-diphenylphosphino-3-methyl-6-trimethylsilylphosphinine (1) with [{Ru(Cl)(μ-Cl)(p-cymene)}2] generated two products: cis-[Ru(Cl)2(1)2] (2) and the dinuclear species [Ru(μ-Cl)3(p-cymene)Ru(Cl)(1)] (8), which was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The reaction of 1 with [{Ru(Cl)(μ-Cl)(C6Me6)}2]/NH4PF6 led to cleavage of the SiMe3 group and addition of H2O across a P═C bond to generate [Ru(C6Me6)(1-OH-2-PPh2-3-MePC5H4)][PF6] (9). The reaction of 1 with [{Ru(Cp*)(μ3-Cl)}4] yielded [Ru(Cp*)(Cl)(1)] (10) which readily reacted with H2O across a P═C bond to form [Ru(Cp*)(Cl)(1-OH-2-PPh2-3-Me-6-SiMe3PC5H3)] (11). Neither 9, 10, 11 or cis-[Ru(Cl)2(dppm)2] were effective precatalysts for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of acetophenone, unlike 2 which in addition was also found to catalyse the TH of benzophenone at 82 °C (0.1 mol% 2 with 0.5 mol% KOtBu in iPrOH), with much lower activity for 2-fluorobenzaldehyde and 4-methylcyclohexanone. 11 was a competent precatalyst for the hydrogen-borrowing upgrading of EtOH/MeOH to isobutanol, albeit in lower yields compared to 2.

The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

A series of bis(phosphinite) (POCOP) pincer ligated nickel complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiX (X = SH, 1; SCH2Ph, 2; SPh, 3; NCS, 4; N3, 5), were used to catalyse the hydrosilylation of aldehydes. It was found that both complexes 1 and 2 are active in catalysing the hydrosilylation of aldehydes with phenylsilane and complex 1 is comparatively more active. The expected alcohols were isolated in good to excellent yields after basic hydrolysis of the resultant hydrosilylation products. However, no reaction was observed when complex 3 or 4 or 5 was used as the catalyst. The results are consistent with complexes 1 and 2 serving as catalyst precursors, which generate the corresponding nickel hydride complex [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiH in situ, and the nickel hydride complex is the active species that catalyses this hydrosilylation process. The in situ generation of the nickel hydride species was supported by both experimental results and DFT calculation.

The l-lysine-?-dehydrogenase (LysEDH) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus naturally catalyzes the oxidative deamination of the ?-amino group of l-lysine. We previously engineered this enzyme to create amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) variants that possess a new hydrophobic cavity in their active site such that aromatic ketones can bind and be converted into α-chiral amines with excellent enantioselectivity. We also recently observed that LysEDH was capable of reducing aromatic aldehydes into primary alcohols. Herein, we harnessed the promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of LysEDH to create new variants that exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for the reduction of substituted benzaldehydes and arylaliphatic aldehydes to primary alcohols. Notably, these novel engineered dehydrogenases also catalyzed the reductive amination of a variety of aldehydes and ketones with excellent enantioselectivity, thus exhibiting a dual AmDH/ADH activity. We envisioned that the catalytic bi-functionality of these enzymes could be applied for the direct conversion of alcohols into amines. As a proof-of-principle, we performed an unprecedented one-pot “hydrogen-borrowing” cascade to convert benzyl alcohol to benzylamine using a single enzyme. Conducting the same biocatalytic cascade in the presence of cofactor recycling enzymes (i.e., NADH-oxidase and formate dehydrogenase) increased the reaction yields. In summary, this work provides the first examples of enzymes showing “alcohol aminase” activity.

We found that in situ generated cerium(IV) carboxylate generated by mixing the precursor Ce(OtBu)4 with the corresponding carboxylic acids served as efficient photocatalysts for the direct formation of carboxyl radicals from carboxylic acids under blue light-emitting diodes (blue LEDs) irradiation and air, resulting in catalytic decarboxylative oxygenation of aliphatic carboxylic acids to give C-O bond-forming products such as aldehydes and ketones. Control experiments revealed that hexanuclear Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters initially formed in the reaction mixture and the ligand-to-metal charge transfer nature of the Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters was responsible for the high catalytic performance to transform the carboxylate ligands to the carboxyl radical. In addition, the Ce(IV) carboxylate cluster catalyzed direct lactonization of 2-isopropylbenzoic acid to produce the corresponding peroxy lactone and ?3-lactone via intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT).

A new surfactant (quercetin) assisted hydrothermal method is used for the preparation of phase pure cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (Nps). The quercetin acted well as surfactant in producing size controlled Nps. The produced Nps were extensively characterized by various techniques to reveal its chemical composition, structure, morphology, size and thermal behavior. The main objective of the study is to employ the prepared material as heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation of therapeutically important aldehydes. The capability of the catalyst is appear to be good, since the yield of alcohols from structurally different aldehydes is adequate with short period of time. Also the catalyst is recyclable, stable, no need of addition of ligands for activation and environmentally benign.

Five [PSiP]-pincer iron hydrides 1-5, [(2-Ph2PC6H4)2HSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (1), (2-Ph2PC6H4)2MeSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (2), (2-Ph2PC6H4)2PhSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (3), (2-(iPr)2PC6H4)2HSiFe(H)(PMe3) (4), and (2-(iPr)2PC6H4)2MeSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (5)], were used as catalysts to study the effects of pyridine N-oxide and the electronic properties of [PSiP]-ligands on the catalytic hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds. It was proved for the first time that this catalytic process could be promoted with pyridine N-oxide as the initiator at 30 °C because the addition of pyridine N-oxide is beneficial for the formation of an unsaturated hydrido iron complex, which is the key intermediate in the catalytic mechanism. Complex 4 as the best catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance. Among the five complexes, complex 3 was new and the molecular structure of complex 3 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A proposed mechanism was discussed.

Iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (TH) of carbonyl compounds using HCOOR (R = H, Na, NH4) as a hydrogen source is a pivotal process as it provides the clean process and is easy to execute. However, the existing highly efficient iridium catalysts work at a narrow pH; thus, does not apply to a wide variety of substrates. Therefore, the development of a new catalyst which works at a broad pH range is essential as it can gain a broader scope of utilization. Here we report highly efficient polypyridyl iridium(III) catalysts, [Ir(tpy)(L)Cl](PF6)2 {where tpy = 2,2′:6′,2′'-Terpyridine, L = phen (1,10-Phenanthroline), Me2phen (4,7-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Me4phen (3,4,7,8-Tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Me2bpy (4,4′-Dimethyl-2–2′-dipyridyl)} for the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes to alcohols in aqueous ethanol and sodium formate as the hydride source. The reaction can be carried out efficiently in broad pH ranges, from pH 6 to 11. These catalysts are air stable, easy to prepare using commercially available starting materials, and are highly applicable for a wide range of substrates, such as electron-rich or deficient (hetero)arenes, halogens, phenols, alkoxy, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, cyano, and nitro groups. Particularly, acid and hydroxy groups containing aldehydes were reduced successfully in basic and acidic reaction conditions, demonstrating the efficiency of the catalyst in a broad pH range with high conversion rates under microwave irradiation.
