Ni-Catalyzed Reductive Arylacylation of Alkenes toward Carbonyl-Containing Oxindoles

An easy-to-handle Ni-catalyzed three-component reductive arylacylation of alkenes using isobutyl chloroformate as a CO source was described. This reaction operates under mild reaction conditions without the need to use toxic CO gas or metal carbonyl reagents. In addition, this method allows for rapid synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter containing a ketone group in good yields with broad substrate scope.

Organic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and alcohol over CeO 2 with 2-cyanopyridine: Scope and mechanistic studies

The combination system of CeO2-catalyzed carboxylation and 2-cyanopyridine hydration (CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine system) is effective for the direct synthesis of organic carbonates from CO2 and alcohols. This catalyst system can be applied to various alcohols to afford the corresponding carbonates in high alcohol-based yields. The hydration of 2-cyanopyridine over CeO2 rapidly proceeds under the low concentration of water, which can remove the water from the reaction media. Since the reaction is limited by the chemical equilibrium, the removal of water remarkably shifts the chemical equilibrium to the carbonate side, leading to high carbonate yields. In addition, 2-picolinamide that is produced by hydration of 2-cyanopyridine forms an intramolecular hydrogen bonding between H atom of the amide group and N atom of the pyridine ring, which weakens the adsorption of 2-picolinamide on CeO2 by reduction of the acidity. The reaction mechanism of DMC formation in CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine system is also proposed.

Halogenated volatiles from the fungus Geniculosporium and the actinomycete Streptomyces chartreusis

Two unidentified chlorinated volatiles X and Y were detected in headspace extracts of the fungus Geniculosporium. Their mass spectra pointed to the structures of a chlorodimethoxybenzene for X and a dichlorodimethoxybenzene for Y. The mass spectra of some constitutional isomers for X and Y were included in our databases and proved to be very similar, thus preventing a full structural assignment. For unambiguous structure elucidation all possible constitutional isomers for X and Y were obtained by synthesis or from commercial suppliers. Comparison of mass spectra and GC retention times rigorously established the structures of the two chlorinated volatiles. Chlorinated volatiles are not very widespread, but brominated or even iodinated volatiles are even more rare. Surprisingly, headspace extracts from Streptomyces chartreusis contained methyl 2-iodobenzoate, a new natural product that adds to the small family of iodinated natural products.

The liquid fuel produced by the present invention is clean, safe and biodegradable; it is compatible with advantages of conventional fossil-based liquid fuels and biological liquid fuels and has a wide range of applications. The process provides a new way for industrial production of the dialkyl carbonate and efficient and comprehensive utilization of biomass resources.
