An efficient and novel protocol was developed for a Cu-catalyzed Ullmann-type aryl alkyl ether synthesis by reacting various (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br, I) with alcohols as active components of environmentally benign choline chloride-based eutectic mixtures. Under optimized conditions, the reaction proceeded under mild conditions (80 °C) in air, in the absence of additional ligands, with a catalyst [CuI or CuII species] loading up to 5 mol% and K2CO3 as the base, providing the desired aryloxy derivatives in up to 98 % yield. The potential application of the methodology was demonstrated in the valorization of cheap, easily available, and naturally occurring polyols (e. g., glycerol) for the synthesis of some pharmacologically active aryloxypropanediols (Guaiphenesin, Mephenesin, and Chlorphenesin) on a 2 g scale in 70–96 % yield. Catalyst, base, and deep eutectic solvent could easily and successfully be recycled up to seven times with an E-factor as low as 5.76.

A series of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,3-dichlorophenyl)porphyrinate complexes of manganese(III) [MnIII(T2,3DCPP)X] with six different axial ligands (X=NO3 ?, AcO?, IO3 ?, Br?, Cl?, HO?) were investigated as catalysts in the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 and styrene oxide (SO), under mild conditions, i. e., atmospheric pressure and 60 °C. [MnIIIT(2,3DCPP)IO3] showed the best catalytic performance, selectively producing the respective cyclic carbonate from diverse epoxides using tetrabutylammonium bromide as a nucleophile source. Mechanistic considerations were inferred from electronic spectra and spectrophotometric titrations, showing that there are a series of equilibriums involved in the formation of the catalytic active species. Stability constants for the proposed equilibrium models were determined using SQUAD software. A catalytic cycle has been proposed based on those observations.

New chiral macrocyclic cobalt(III) salen complexes were synthesized and used as catalyst for the asymmetric kinetic resolution (AKR) of terminal epoxides and glycidyl ethers with aromatic/aliphatic amines and water as nucleophiles. This is the first occasion where a Co(III) salen complex demonstrated its ability to catalyze AKR as well as hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) reactions. Excellent enantiomeric excesses of the epoxides, the corresponding amino alcohols and diols (upto 99%) with quantitative yields were achieved by using the chiral Co(III) salen complexes in dichloromethane at room temperature. This protocol was further extended for the synthesis of two important drug molecules, i.e., (S)-propranolol and (R)-naftopidil. The catalytic system was also explored for the synthesis of chirally pure diols and chiral cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide as a greener renewable C1 source. The catalyst was recycled for upto 5 catalytic cycles with retention of enantioselectivity. (Figure presented.).
