An eco-friendly alkali-promoted (Cs?Au/Co3O4) catalyst, with redox and basic properties for the oxidative dehydrogenative coupling of anilines to symmetrical and unsymmetrical aromatic azo compounds, was developed. We realized a base additive- and molecular O2 oxidant-free process (using air), with reasonable reusability of the catalyst achieved under milder reaction conditions. Notably, the enhanced catalytic activity was also linked to the increased basic site concentration, low reduction temperatures, and the effect of lattice oxygen on the nanomaterials. The increased basic strength of the cation-promoted catalyst improved the electron density of the active Au species, resulting in higher yields of the desired aromatic azo compounds.

Direct attachment of gold nanoparticles to a green support without the use of an external reducing agent and using it for removing toxic pollutants from wastewater, i. e., reduction of nitroarene to amine, are described. A novel approach involving the reduction of gold by the jute plant (Corchorus genus) stem-based (JPS) support itself to form nanoparticles (AuNPs) to be used as a catalytic system (‘dip-catalyst’) and its catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of series of nitroarenes in aqueous media are presented. AuNPs/JPS catalyst was characterized using SEM, UV-Vis, FTIR, TEM, XPS, and ICP-OES. Confined area elemental mapping exhibits uniform and homogeneous distribution of AuNPs on the support surface. TEM shows multi-faceted AuNPs in the range of 20–30 nm. The reactivity of AuNPs/JPS for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarene as well as hydrogenation of quinoline under molecular H2 pressure was evaluated. Sodium borohydride, when used as the hydrogen source, demonstrates a high catalytic efficiency in the transfer hydrogenation reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Quinoline is quantitatively and chemoselectively hydrogenated to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (py-THQ) using molecular hydrogen. Reusability studies show that AuNPs are stable on the support surface and their selectivity is not affected.

The Barbier-type propargylation of azo compounds with α,γ-disubstituted propargylic tosylates was achieved by using metallic barium as the promoter. Various propargylated hydrazines (α-adducts) were exclusively synthesized from the corresponding propargylic tosylates and azobenzenes (diaryldiazenes). The thus-obtained propargylic hydrazines were further efficiently converted into propargylic amines by reductive N-N bond cleavage. Benzidine rearrangement of the propargylic hydrazines was also attempted.
