In this paper, a highly efficient, metal-free, and homogeneous method for the selective aerobic photooxidation of alcohols and photooxidative-desilylation of tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers (TBDMS) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) under irradiation of visible light was reported. The light source: blue (460 nm) and violet (400 nm) LED, can control selective oxidation to aldehyde or carboxylic acid.

A simple, efficient, sustainable and economical method for the oxidation of alcohols and amines has been developed based on chloride, a sea abundant anionic catalyst for the practical synthesis of a wide range of carboxylic acids, ketones and imines. Oxidation of aromatic alcohols was carried out using NaCl (20 mol%) as the catalyst, NaOH (50 mol%) and aq. TBHP (4 equiv.) as the oxidant in 55-92% isolated yields. Oxidation of aromatic amines to imines was achieved by using only 20 mol% of NaCl and aq. TBHP (4 equiv.) in 32-93% isolated yields. The chlorine species formed during the reaction as the active oxidation catalyst has been identified as ClO2- for alcohols and ClO-/ClO2- for amines by control experiments. This method is mostly free from chromatographic purification, which makes it suitable for large-scale synthesis. We have scaled up to 30 gram scale the synthesis of carboxylic acids and imines in good yields and have also carried out efficiently this new method using filtered sea water as the solvent and catalyst.

Photoredox catalysis is a rapidly evolving platform for synthetic methods development. The prominent use of acridinium salts as a sustainable option for photoredox catalysts has driven the development of more robust and synthetically useful versions based on this scaffold. However, more complicated syntheses, increased cost, and limited commercial availability have hindered the adoption of these catalysts by the greater synthetic community. By utilizing the direct conversion of a xanthylium salt into the corresponding acridinium as the key transformation, we present an efficient and scalable preparation of the most synthetically useful acridinium reported to date. This divergent strategy also enabled the preparation of a suite of novel acridinium dyes, allowing for a systematic investigation of substitution effects on their photophysical properties.

A metal-free iodine/NaOH-catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes has been developed for the practical synthesis of a wide range of carboxylic acids using water as the solvent. This transformation involves dehydrogenation of an alcohol, followed by a fast attack of water on an aldehyde. This method is mostly free from chromatographic purification, which makes it suitable for large-scale synthesis. The iodine species formed during the reaction as the active oxidation catalyst has been deduced as IO2- by control experiments. We also demonstrate a 10 gram scale synthesis of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from HMF in good yield using our method.
Ultrasmall Platinum Nanoparticles Supported Inside the Nanospaces of Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica with an Imidazolium Network: An Efficient Catalyst for the Aerobic Oxidation of Unactivated Alcohols in Water
Karimi, Babak,Naderi, Zahra,Khorasani, Mojtaba,Mirzaei, Hamid M.,Vali, Hojatollah
, p. 906 - 910 (2016/03/15)
The imidazolium group inside the wall of a periodic mesoporous organosilica provides an excellent environment for the stabilization of ultrasmall Pt nanoparticles ((NP)@PMO-IL) with significant activity and recyclability in the selective aerobic oxidation of various alcohols in water at ambient pressure of oxygen. In particular, the catalyst exhibited high activity in the oxidation of unactivated primary alcohols and sterically encumbered secondary aliphatic alcohols, which remain challenging substrates for many catalytic aerobic protocols.

Nitrile compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as atorvastatin. We have developed a chromogenic reagent to screen for nitrilase activity as an alternative to Nessler's reagent. It produces a semi-quantifiable blue colour and hydrolysis of 38 nitrile substrates by 23 nitrilases as cell-free extracts has been shown. This journal is
Au/mesoporous-TiO2 as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids with molecular oxygen in water

Mesoporous TiO2 (meso-TiO2) with sharp pore size distribution was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The obtained meso-TiO 2 is in pure anatase phase and presents spheric aggregates with diameter of 1.0-1.5 μm, which consists of nanoparticles with size of 6-10 nm. Au supported on meso-TiO2 (Au/meso-TiO2) was prepared by urea deposition-precipitation method using HAuCl4 as gold source. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The catalytic performance of Au/meso-TiO2 was studied in the oxidation of 1-pentanol to n-valeric acid with molecular oxygen as oxidant in water under basic conditions. It was found that meso-TiO2 is a better support for gold catalyst in the oxidation of 1-pentanol than NaY zeolite, hydrotalcite, and nano-TiO2. Deposition-precipitation time, calcination temperature and Au loading affected the catalytic performance of Au/meso-TiO2. The catalyst can also effectively catalyze the oxidation of aliphatic (C3-C10) and aromatic alcohols to the corresponding carboxylic acids.

A catalytic toolbox for three different water-based one-pot cascades to convert aryl alcohols to amides and acids and cyclic amines to lactams, involving combination of oxidative enzymes (monoamine oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, galactose oxidase and laccase) and chemical oxidants (TBHP or CuI(cat)/H2O2) at mild temperatures, is presented. Mutually compatible conditions were found to afford products in good to excellent yields. This journal is
Nanoparticle-supported and magnetically recoverable organic-inorganic hybrid copper(ii) nanocatalyst: A selective and sustainable oxidation protocol with a high turnover number
Rathore, Puran Singh,Patidar, Rajesh,Thakore, Sonal
, p. 41111 - 41121 (2014/12/10)
A magnetically recoverable copper-based nanocatalyst was prepared from inexpensive starting materials. With a particle size between 20 to 30 nm, it was shown to catalyze the oxidation of benzylic alcohols. The catalyst exhibited a high turnover number (TON) and excellent selectivity. The catalyst was characterized by several techniques, such as XRD, HR-TEM, SAED, EDS, FT-IR, VSM, and BET surface area. Factors affecting the reaction parameters, such as the substrate to oxidant molar ratio, weight of the catalyst, reaction time, etc., were investigated in detail. The reusability of the catalyst was examined by conducting repeat experiments with the same catalyst; it was observed that the catalyst displayed no significant changes in its activity even after seven cycles for the aerobic, as well as for the peroxide, oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Furthermore, the heterogeneous nature, easy recovery, and reusability, makes the present protocol highly beneficial for addressing environmental concerns and industrial requirements. This journal is
