The cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) mediated oxidation of benzenedimethanols with o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) in aqueous solution has been investigated, and the results reveal the supramolecular catalysis depends on the electronic and geometric structure of substrate. In the cases of o-benzenedimethanol (1a) and m-benzenedimethanol (1b), the IBX oxidation could be obviously enhanced by the addition of Q[8] at different extent. There is no observation of the catalytic activity of Q[8] when p-benzenedimethanol (1c) is subjected to the IBX oxidation. The addition amount of Q[8] is discussed herein, and the addition of more than 10% mol catalyst cannot improve the oxidation much more. The investigation of host-guest interactions by isothermal titration calorimetry implies the supramolecular catalysis is related to the formation of complexes between benzenedimethanols and cucurbit[8]uril. The supramolecular catalysis of Q[8] (cucurbit[8]uril) on the IBX (o-iodoxybenzoic acid) oxidation of o,m,p-benzenedimethanols in aqueous solvent and the host-guest interactions have been investigated.

The meso-pyridyl substituted dipyrromethane ligands 5-(4-pyridyl)dipyrromethane (4-dpmane) and 5-(3-pyridyl)dipyrromethane (3-dpmane) have been employed in the synthesis of a series of complexes with the general formulations [(η6-arene)RuCl2(L)] (η6-arene = C6H6, C10H14) and [(η5-C5Me5)MCl2(L)] (M = Rh, Ir). The reaction products have been characterized by microanalyses and spectral studies and molecular structures of the complexes [(η6-C10H14)RuCl2(4-dpmane)] and [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2(3-dpmane)] have been determined crystallographically. For comparative studies, geometrical optimization have been performed on the complex [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2(4-dpmane)] using exchange correlation functional B3LYP. Optimized bond length and angles are in good agreement with the structural data of the complex [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2(3-dpmane)]. The complexes [(η6-C10H14)RuCl2(3-dpmane)], [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl2(3-dpmane)] and [(η5-C5Me5)IrCl2(3-dpmane)] have been employed as a transfer hydrogenation catalyst in the reduction of aldehydes. It was observed that the rhodium and iridium complexes mentioned above are more effective in this regard in comparison to the ruthenium complex.

The Bronsted acid-catalyzed polytransacetalization of hydroxymethylbenzaldehyde dimethylacetal (1), a commercially available AB 2-type monomer, led to hyperbranched polyacetals (HBPA's) with a degree of branching (DB) around 0.5 by forming methanol as byproduct. In sharp contrast, the polyacetalization of the nonprotected homologue, namely, hydroxymethylbenzaldehyde (2), yielded HBPA's with DB = 1, by forming water as byproduct, under the same acidic conditions. This major difference arises from the instability of the initially formed hemiacetal intermediates, which react faster than aldehyde moieties, driving the polyacetalization toward the quantitative formation of dendritic acetal units. This represents a rare example of defect-free hyperbranched polymer synthesis utilizing a very simple AB 2-type monomer. Bronsted acid catalysts included p-toluenesulfonic, camphorsulfonic, and pyridinium camphorsulfonic acids. Trapping of the water generated during polyacetalization of 2 was accomplished using molecular sieves regularly renewed, which allowed achieving polymers of relatively high molar masses. These HBPA's with DB = 1 featuring multiple aldehyde functions at their periphery were further derivatized into PEGylated HBPA's, using linear amino-terminated poly(ethylene oxide)s of different molar masses. This led to submicrometric sized HBPA's with a core-shell architecture. Finally, HBPA derivatives could be readily hydrolyzed under acidic conditions (e.g., pH = 4), owing to the acid sensitivity of their constitutive acetal linkages.

The serine 244 to aspartate (S244D) variant of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP199A4 was used to expand its substrate range beyond benzoic acids. Substrates, in which the carboxylate group of the benzoic acid moiety is replaced were oxidised with high activity by the S244D mutant (product formation rates >60 nmol.(nmol-CYP)?1.min?1) and with total turnover numbers of up to 20,000. Ethyl α-hydroxylation was more rapid than methyl oxidation, styrene epoxidation and S-oxidation. The S244D mutant catalysed the ethyl hydroxylation, epoxidation and sulfoxidation reactions with an excess of one stereoisomer (in some instances up to >98 %). The crystal structure of 4-methoxybenzoic acid-bound CYP199A4 S244D showed that the active site architecture and the substrate orientation were similar to that of the WT enzyme. Overall, this work demonstrates that CYP199A4 can catalyse the stereoselective hydroxylation, epoxidation or sulfoxidation of substituted benzene substrates under mild conditions resulting in more sustainable transformations using this heme monooxygenase enzyme.
Integration of Earth-Abundant Photosensitizers and Catalysts in Metal-Organic Frameworks Enhances Photocatalytic Aerobic Oxidation

We report here the construction of two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Zr6-Cu/Fe-1 and Zr6-Cu/Fe-2, by integrating earth-abundant cuprous photosensitizers (Cu-PSs) and Fe catalysts for photocatalytic aerobic oxidation. Site isolation and pore confinement stabilize both Cu-PSs and Fe catalysts, while the proximity between active centers facilitates electron and mass transfer. Upon visible light irradiation and using O2 as the only oxidant, Zr6-Cu/Fe-1 and Zr6-Cu/Fe-2 efficiently oxidize alcohols and benzylic compounds to afford corresponding carbonyl products with broad substrate scopes, high turnover numbers of up to 500 with a 9.4-fold enhancement over homogeneous analogues, and excellent recyclability in four consecutive runs. Control experiments, spectroscopic evidence, and computational studies revealed the photo-oxidation mechanism: Oxidative quenching of [Cu-PS]? by O2 affords [CuII-PS], which efficiently oxidizes FeIII-OH to generate a hydroxyl radical for substrate oxidation. This work highlights the potential of MOFs in promoting earth-abundant metal-based photocatalysis.
