, p. 824 - 830 (1992)
The catalytic hydrogenation of p-cresol with commercial Pd on active carbon (Pd-C), water-washed Pd-C (Pd-C-N), acid-treated Pd-C (Pd-C-A), and base-treated Pd-C (Pd-C-B) has been kinetically studied in cyclohexane as a solvent under 0.15-8.0 MPa hydrogen pressure at 80 deg C.Under each reaction condition, the hydrogenation rate constants for the cresol and the ketone intermediate, k1+k3 and k2, respectively, the relative reactivity of the ketone to the cresol (K) and the ratio of the adsorption coefficient of the ketone to that of the cresol (b2/b1) were determined of the basis of a Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.Regardless of the difference in the nature of the catalysts, hydrogenations with these catalysts always gave high selectivities of 0.85-1.0 for the formation of the ketone intermediate, and small values of 0.014-0.62 for the relative reactivity (K).The small values of K over Pd-C and Pd-C-B were shown to be mostly due to the small values of k2/(k1+k3).In contrast, even smaller values of K over Pd-C-N and Pd-C-A were found due to a great difference in the strength of adsorption between the cresol and the ketone intermediate.In general, both the values of K and k2/(k1+k3) increase with increasing hydrogen pressure.All of the experimental results show that both the alkaline impurities associated with catalyst preparation and the hydrogen pressure are the most important factors affecting the formation of the ketone intermediate.

A kinetic, product, and computational study on the reactions of the cumyloxyl radical with monosubstituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes has been carried out. HAT rates, site-selectivities for C-H bond oxidation, and DFT computations provide quantitative information and theoretical models to explain the observed patterns. Cyclopentanes functionalize predominantly at C-1, and tertiary C-H bond activation barriers decrease on going from methyl- and tert-butylcyclopentane to phenylcyclopentane, in line with the computed C-H BDEs. With cyclohexanes, the relative importance of HAT from C-1 decreases on going from methyl- and phenylcyclohexane to ethyl-, isopropyl-, and tert-butylcyclohexane. Deactivation is also observed at C-2 with site-selectivity that progressively shifts to C-3 and C-4 with increasing substituent steric bulk. The site-selectivities observed in the corresponding oxidations promoted by ethyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane support this mechanistic picture. Comparison of these results with those obtained previously for C-H bond azidation and functionalizations promoted by the PINO radical of phenyl and tert-butylcyclohexane, together with new calculations, provides a mechanistic framework for understanding C-H bond functionalization of cycloalkanes. The nature of the HAT reagent, C-H bond strengths, and torsional effects are important determinants of site-selectivity, with the latter effects that play a major role in the reactions of oxygen-centered HAT reagents with monosubstituted cyclohexanes.

Selective oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups by abstracting H with a photoinduced highly active oxygen radical is an effective method used to give high value products. Here, we report a heterogeneous photocatalytic alkanes C-H bonds oxidation method under the irradiation of visible light (λ= 425 nm) at ambient temperature using an anion-cation dual-metal-site modulated carbon nitride. The optimized cation (C) of Fe3+or Ni2+, with an anion (A) of phosphotungstate (PW123?) constitutes the nanoscale dual-metal-site (DMS). With a Fe-PW12dual-metal-site as a model (FePW), we demonstrate a A-C DMS nanoscale localized carbon nitride (A-C/g-C3N4) exhibiting a highly enhanced photocatalytic activity with a high product yield (86% conversion), selectivity (up to 99%), and a wide functional group tolerance (52 examples). The carbon nitride performs the roles of both the visible light response, and improves the selectivity for the oxidation of C(sp3)-H bonds to carbonyl groups, along with the function of A-C DMS in promoting product yield. Mechanistic studies indicate that this reaction follows a radical pathway catalyzed by a photogenerated electron and hole on A-C/g-C3N4that is mediated by thetBuO˙ andtBuOO˙ radicals. Notably, a 10 g scale reaction was successfully achieved for alkane photocatalytic oxidation to the corresponding product with a good yield (80% conversion), and high selectivity (95%) under natural sunlight at ambient temperature. In addition, this A-C/g-C3N4photocatalyst is highly robust and can be reused at least six times and the activity is maintained.
CATALYTIC PROCESS
-
Paragraph 0224; 0244; 0248, (2021/12/03)
A catalytic process for the deoxygenation of an organic substrate, such as a biomass or bio-oil, is described. The catalytic process is conducted in the presence of a gaseous mixture containing both hydrogen and nitrogen. The presence of nitrogen in the gaseous mixture gives rise inter-aliato increased catalytic activity and/or increased selectivity for aromatic reaction products.

Phenols are aromatic biobased compounds and as they are accessible from lignin depolymerization, they can be a useful platform chemicals to produce value-added products. Herein we report our recent investigations on the definition of an approach to the efficient continuous flow selective hydrogenation of phenols in water. Our protocol is based on the use of sodium formate as a clean and safe hydrogen source in combination with our newly defined heterogeneous POLITAG-Pd(0) catalytic system. POLITAG is a polymeric heterogeneous support decorated with pincer-type ionic ligands proven to be highly efficient for the stabilization of Pd(0) nanoparticles. The results obtained are remarkable in comparison with other protocols that employ sodium formate as H-source. Indeed, our investigation has been extended to a variety of differently substituted phenolic compounds that have been hydrogenated with excellent to good selectivity in continuous flow conditions. Durability of the catalyst has been also tested with a representative continuous processing of over 100 mmol that showed no loss in efficiency and minimal metal leaching.

A new palladium-based heterogeneous material was synthesized by means of immobilization of Pd(OAc)2/1,10-phenanthroline on commercially available SiO2and subsequent pyrolysis at 600 °C for 2 h in air, namely, a Pd@N-doped carbon/SiO2catalyst. The obtained catalyst was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques, and was effectively applied in the highly selective hydrogenation of phenols to give the corresponding cyclohexanone derivatives with 93-98% yields at 100 °C under 0.4 MPa H2in EtOH. It was demonstrated that introducing nitrogen could effectively promote the Pd dispersion and enhance the electronic interaction of Pd, both of which facilitate the improvement of the catalytic activity and selectivity. The likely reaction pathway was outlined to elucidate the selective hydrogenation mechanism according to experimental results.

We demonstrate that iteration of the seeded preparation of platinum nanoparticles dispersed in an amphiphilic polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol) resin (ARP-Pt) regulates their catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds in water. The catalytic activity of the fifth generation of ARP-Pt [G5] prepared through four iterations of the seeded preparation was far superior to that of the initial ARP-Pt [G1] in the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds in water.

We describe a promising method for the continuous hydrogenation of alkenes or alkynes by using a newly developed fine-bubble generator. The fine-bubble-containing slug-flow system was up to 1.4 times more efficient than a conventional slug-flow method. When applied in the hydrogenation of phenols to the corresponding cyclohexanones, the fine bubble-slug-flow method suppressed over-reduction. As this method does not require the use of excess gas, it is expected to be widely applicable in improving the efficiency of gas-mediated flow reactions.

We report a platinum nanocluster/graphitic carbon nitride (Pt/g-C3N4) composite solid catalyst with a photocatalytic anaerobic oxidation function for highly active and selective transformation of alcohols to ketones. The desirable products were successfully obtained in good to excellent yields from various functionalized alcohols at room temperature, including unactivated alcohols. Mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction could proceed through a Pt-mediated hole oxidation initiating an α-alcohol radical intermediate followed by a two-electron oxidation pathway. The merit of this strategy offers a general approach towards green and sustainable organic synthetic chemistry.
