Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles supported on layered double hydroxide for heterogeneously catalyzed aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones to phenols

Phenol, an important industrial chemical, is widely produced using the well-developed cumene process. However, demand for the development of a novel alternative method for synthesizing phenol from benzene has been increasing. Herein, we report a novel system for the synthesis of phenols through aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones, including ketone-alcohol (KA) oil, catalyzed by Mg-Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH)-supported Au-Pd alloy nanoparticles (Au-Pd/LDH). Alloying of Au and Pd and basicity of LDH are key factors in achieving the present transformation. Although monometallic Au/LDH, Pd/LDH, and their physical mixture showed almost no catalytic activity, Au-Pd/LDH exhibited markedly high catalytic activity for the dehydrogenative phenol production. Mechanistic studies showed that β-H elimination from Pd-enolate species is accelerated by Au species, likely via electronic ligand effects. Moreover, the effect of supports was critical; despite the high catalytic performance of Au-Pd/LDH, Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles supported on Al2O3, TiO2, MgO, and CeO2 were ineffective. Thus, the basicity of LDH plays a deterministic role in the present dehydrogenation possibly through its assistance in the deprotonation steps. The synthetic scope of the Au-Pd/LDH-catalyzed system was very broad; various substituted cyclohexanols and cyclohexanones were efficiently converted into the corresponding phenols, and N-substituted anilines were synthesized from cyclohexanones and amines. In addition, the observed catalysis was truly heterogeneous, and Au-Pd/LDH could be reused without substantial loss of its high performance. The present transformation is scalable, utilizes O2 in air as the terminal oxidant, and generates water as the only by-product, highlighting the potential practical utility and environmentally benign nature of the present transformation. Dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexanols proceeds through (1) oxidation of cyclohexanols to cyclohexanones; (2) dehydrogenation of cyclohexanones to cyclohexenones; and (3) disproportionation of cyclohexenones to afford the desired phenols. In the present Au-Pd/LDH-catalyzed transformation, the oxidation of the Pd-H species is included in the rate-determining step.

Anti-Markovnikov Addition of Anilines to Aliphatic Terminal Alkynes Catalyzed by an 8-Quinolinolato Rhodium Complex

Anti-Markovnikov addition of anilines to aliphatic terminal alkynes proceeded using an 8-quinolinolato rhodium/phosphine catalyst system. The use of a strong organic base, 1,1,3,3,–tetramethylguanidine, in the catalyst system enabled the formation of the aldimine products. Substrates with various functional groups including polar groups such as a phenolic hydroxy group are applicable to the hydroamination.

Manganese catalyzed N-alkylation of anilines with alcohols: Ligand enabled selectivity

Ligand enabled Earth-abundant manganese catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via a hydrogen auto-transfer strategy is reported. The choice of the ligand plays a significant role in the alcohol reactivity (aliphatic or aromatic) toward N-alkylation reactions.

Formal Direct Cross-Coupling of Phenols with Amines

The transition-metal-catalyzed amination of aryl halides has been the most powerful method for the formation of aryl amines over the past decades. Phenols are regarded as ideal alternatives to aryl halides as coupling partners in cross-couplings. An efficient palladium-catalyzed formal cross-coupling of phenols with various amines and anilines has now been developed. A variety of substituted phenols were compatible with the standard reaction conditions. Secondary and tertiary aryl amines could thus be synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.

Metal-free synthesis of secondary arylamines: An aliphatic-to-aromatic transformation

An efficient method for the N-arylation of primary and some secondary amines using 2-halocyclohex-2-enones in an aliphatic-to-aromatic transformation in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of pTsOH has been developed. A series of arylamines have been synthesized from 2-halocyclohex-2-enones by in situ enamine formation followed by aromatization under environmentally friendly conditions using pTsOH. This metal-free, practical, relatively inexpensive protocol is of value in organic synthesis for industrial and academic applications. Copyright

Well-defined NHC-Pd(II)-Im (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene; Im=1-methylimidazole) complex catalyzed C-N coupling of primary amines with aryl chlorides

We report herein a well-defined NHC-Pd(II)-Im (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene; Im=1-methylimidazole) complex catalyzed C-N coupling of primary amines with aryl chlorides. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a variety of primary amines can be coupled with aryl chlorides to give the amination products in good to high yields within 4 h. It is worthy of noting here that the NHC-Pd(II)-Im complex showed especially high catalytic activity toward challenging sterically hindered substrates including both of aryl amines and aryl chlorides. In addition, alkyl amines were also proved to be suitable reaction partners to give the corresponding amination products in good to high yields.
