Under the reduction of pentafluorobenzoic acid in liquid ammonia by sodium the deep defluorination with removal of three or more fluorine atoms has been observed, whereas with zinc only the product of para-defluorination has been obtained.

Oxidation is a major chemical process to produce oxygenated chemicals in both nature and the chemical industry. Presently, the industrial manufacture of benzoic acids and benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) is mainly based on the deep oxidation of polyalkyl benzene, which is somewhat suffering from environmental and economical disadvantage due to the formation of ozone-depleting MeBr and corrosion hazards of production equipment. In this report, photo-induced deep aerobic oxidation of (poly)alkyl benzene to benzene (poly)carboxylic acids was developed. CeCl3 was proved to be an efficient HAT (hydrogen atom transfer) catalyst in the presence of alcohol as both hydrogen and electron shuttle. Dioxygen (O2) was found as a sole terminal oxidant. In most cases, pure products were easily isolated by simple filtration, implying large-scale implementation advantages. The reaction provides an ideal protocol to produce valuable fine chemicals from naturally abundant petroleum feedstocks. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

While polystyrene is widely used in daily life as a synthetic plastic, the subsequently selective degradation is still very challenging and highly required. Herein, we disclose a highly practical and selective reaction for the catalytically efficient oxidation of alkyl aromatics (including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl aromatics) to carboxylic acids. While dioxygen was used as the sole terminal oxidant, this protocol was catalyzed by the inexpensive and readily available ferric compound (FeCl3) with irradiation of visible light (blue LEDs) under only 1 atmosphere of O2 at room temperature. This system could further facilitate the selective degradation of polystyrene to benzoic acid, providing an important and practical tool to generate high-value chemical from abundant polystyrene wastes.

Hydrolysis of amides to carboxylic acids is an industrially important reaction but is challenging due to the difficulty of cleaving the resonance stabilized amidic C-N bond. Twenty-three heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts were examined in the hydrolysis of acetamide. Results showed that Nb2O5was the most effective heterogeneous catalyst with the greatest yield of acetic acid. A series of Nb2O5catalysts calcined at various temperatures were characterized and tested in the hydrolysis of acetamide to determine the effects of crystal phase and surface properties of Nb2O5on catalytic performance. The high catalytic performance observed was attributed mainly to the facile activation of the carbonyl bond by Lewis acid sites that function even in the presence of basic inhibitors (NH3and H2O). The catalytic studies showed the synthetic advantages of the present method, such as simple operation, catalyst recyclability, additive free, solvent free, and wide substrate scope (>40 examples; up to 95% isolated yield).

The oxidation of aldehydes is an efficient methodology for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. Herein we hope to report a simple, efficient and recyclable protocol for aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acid by using C3N4 supported silver nanoparticles (Ag/C3N4) as a catalyst in aqueous solution under mild conditions. Under standard conditions, the corresponding carboxylic acids can be obtained in good to excellent yields. In addition, Ag/C3N4 is convenient for recovery and could be reused three times with satisfactory yields.

The A3B and A2B2 type porphyrins having N-butylcarbazole and p-cyanophenyl groups are synthesized and characterized. Their palladium complexes have also been prepared and utilized as catalysts for the photo-oxidation reactions of aromatic aldehydes in good yields. Pd(II)porphyrins displayed decent phosphorescence at a670 nm and were able to generate singlet oxygen upon light irradiation. The calculated singlet oxygen quantum yields for Pd(II)porphyrins were between 57% and 73%. The photo-catalytic application of Pd(II)porphyrins for aerobic oxidation of aromatic aldehydes is demonstrated.

The selective α-C-C bond cleavage of unfunctionalized secondary (2°) and tertiary alcohols (3°) is essential for valorization of macromolecules and biopolymers. We developed a blue-light-driven iron catalysis for aerobic oxidation of 2° and 3° alcohols to acids via α-C-C bond cleavages at room temperature. The first example of oxygenation of the simple tertiary alcohols was reported. The iron catalyst and blue light play critical roles to enable the formation of highly reactive O radicals from alcohols and the consequent two α-C-C bond cleavages.

Herein, a practical and sustainable method for the synthesis of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from an inexpensive olefinic feedstock is described. This transformation features very sustainable and mild conditions and utilizes commercially available and inexpensive tetrahydrofuran as the additive, molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and water as the solvent. A wide range of substituted alkenes were found to be compatible, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds in moderate-to-good yields. The control experiments demonstrated that a radical mechanism is responsible for the oxidation reaction.

supporting information, p. 4067 - 4069 (2020/04/20)
A protocol for the Ni-catalyzed carboxylation of aryl iodides with formate has been developed with good functional group compatibility for the synthesis of a variety of aromatic carboxylic acids under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates other functionalities for cross-coupling, such as aryl bromide, aryl chloride, aryl tosylate, and aryl pinacol boronate. The reaction proceeds through a carbonylation process with in situ generated carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic anhydride and lithium formate, avoiding the use of gaseous CO. The strategy of CO recycling in catalytic amounts is critical for the success of the reaction.

Tuning the morphology and size of coordination polymers (CPs) is an effective strategy to enable crystalline materials for desired applications. Herein, two CPs, named [Cd2(DBTP)(H2O)2]n (1) and {[Zn2(DBTP)(H2O)]·2.5H2O}n (2), were prepared by employing a rigid V-shaped and multidentate N-heterocyclic ligand 2,6-di(1H,2′H-[3,3′-bi(1,2,4-triazol)]-5′-yl)pyridine (H4DBTP) under solvothermal conditions. Their crystal morphologies and sizes were controlled by varying the type and the amount of surfactants. The morphology can be changed from bulk blocks to microflower-like hierarchical spheres assembled by nanosheets and the mean size of the microflowers is approximately 2 μm. Nanoscale 1a and 2a were further evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion reactions of nitromethylbenzenes into benzoic acids. The results showed that nanoscale 2a is a more efficient catalyst than nanoscale 1a and their corresponding bulk counterparts.
