Heterogeneous organocatalysts hold great potential as they offer practical advantages in terms of purification and reusability compared with the homogeneous counterpart. A puzzling aspect is the solvent effect on their catalytic performance. Here we propo

Hydrodehalogenation is an effective strategy for transforming persistent and potentially toxic organohalides into their more benign congeners. Common methods utilize Pd/C or Raney-nickel as catalysts, which are either expensive or have safety concerns. In this study, a nickel-based catalyst supported on titania (Ni-phen@TiO2-800) is used as a safe alternative to pyrophoric Raney-nickel. The catalyst is prepared in a straightforward fashion by deposition of nickel(II)/1,10-phenanthroline on titania, followed by pyrolysis. The catalytic material, which was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS, consists of nickel nanoparticles covered with N-doped carbon layers. By using design of experiments (DoE), this nanostructured catalyst is found to be proficient for the facile and selective hydrodehalogenation of a diverse range of substrates bearing C?I, C?Br, or C?Cl bonds (>30 examples). The practicality of this catalyst system is demonstrated by the dehalogenation of environmentally hazardous and polyhalogenated substrates atrazine, tetrabromobisphenol A, tetrachlorobenzene, and a polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

The chlorination of aromatic carboxylic acids with SOCl2 has been effectively performed by reacting with a Br?nsted acid as the catalyst. Based on this discovery, an efficient catalytic method that is cheaper than traditional catalytic methods was developed. 20 substrates were chlorinated offering excellent yields in a short reaction time. And the SOCl2/Br?nsted acid system has been used in a larger scale preparative reaction. A dual activation mechanism was proposed to prove the irreplaceable system of SOCl2/Br?nsted acid.

The oxidation reactions of organic compounds are important transformations for the fine and bulk chemical industry. However, they usually involve the use of noble metal catalysts and suffer from toxic or environmental issues. Here, an efficient, environmentally friendly, and atomically dispersed Co catalyst (Co-N-C) was preparedviaa simple, porous MgO template and etching method using 1,10-phenanthroline as C and N sources, and CoCl2·6H2O as the metal source. The obtained Co-N-C catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the oxidation of silanes with 97% isolated yield of organosilanol under mild conditions (room temperature, H2O as an oxidant, 1.8 h), and good stability with 95% isolated yield after nine consecutive reactions. The turnover frequency (TOF) is as high as 381 h?1, exceeding those of most non-noble metal catalysts and some noble metal catalysts. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and wavelet transform (WT) spectroscopy corroborate the existence of atomically dispersed Co. The coordination numbers of Co affected by the pyrolysis temperature in Co-N-C-700, Co-N-C-800, and Co-N-C-900 are 4.1, 3.6, and 2.2, respectively. Owing to a higher Co-N3content, Co-N-C-800 shows more outstanding catalytic performance than Co-N-C-700 and Co-N-C-800. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Co-N3structure exhibits more activity compared with Co-N4and Co-N2, which is because the Co atom in Co-N3was bound with both H atom and Si atom, and it induced the longest Si-H bond.

A hydroxyl radical-mediated aerobic cleavage of alkenes and further sequence esterification reaction for the preparation of carbonyl compounds have been developed by using tubular carbon nitride (TCN) as a general heterogeneous photocatalyst under an oxygen atmosphere with visible light irradiation. This protocol has an excellent substrate scope and gives the desired aldehydes, ketones and esters in moderate to high yields. Importantly, this metal-free procedure employed photogenerated hydroxyl radicals in situ as green oxidation active species, avoiding the present additional initiators. The reaction could be carried out under solar light irradiation and was applicable to large-scale reactions. Furthermore, the recyclable TCN catalyst could be used several times without a significant loss of activities.

A series of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives with substituted phenyl ring were designed and synthesized with an objective of discovering newer anti-cancer agents targeting thymidine phosphorylase enzyme (TP). The 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized by simple and convenient methods in the lab. Chemical structure of the all the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral methods and evaluated for cytotoxicity by MTT method against two breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Further, results of TP assay identified that 1,3,4-oxadiazole molecules displayed anti-cancer activity partially by inhibition of phosphorylation of thymidine. The TP assay identified SB8 and SB9 as potential inhibitors with anti-cancer activity against both the cell lines. The molecular docking studies recognized the orientation and binding interaction of molecule at the active site amino acid residues of TP (PDB: 1UOU). Acute toxicity studies of compound SB8 at the dose of 5000 mg/kg has identified no signs of clinical toxicity was observed. The SARs study of synthesized derivatives revealed that the substitution of phenyl ring with electron withdrawing group at ortho position showed significant TP inhibitory activity compared to para substitution. The experimental data suggests that 1,3,4-oxadiazole with substituted phenyl can be taken as a lead for the design of efficient TP inhibitors and active compounds which can be taken up for further studies.

One-pot synthesis of furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is highly demanding for the commercial production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Herein, a direct synthesis of FDMC is reported from oxidative esterification of HMF using ultrafine CuO particles dispersed on nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (CuO/N?C?HNSs) as a catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidizing and methylating reagent. The CuO/N?C?HNSs was prepared through a template protection-sacrifice strategy using SiO2 as a sacrificial template and histidine as the precursor for N and C. N-doping facilitated a strong interaction between the support and copper species, affording formation of CuO nanoparticles of less than 10 nm in size. By virtue of the highly dispersed CuO nanoparticles and a high BET surface area 373 m2/g, the CuO/N?C?HNSsshows excellent catalytic performance in the selective conversion of HMF into FDMC affording 93 % yield of the desired product with a TON value of 49. Furthermore, the oxidative esterification involving SP3C?H bond functionalization is also demonstrated using the same catalyst.

A protocol for photoinduced cross-coupling of aryl iodides having polar π-functional groups or elongated π-conjugation with alkenes has been developed. The radical cascade mechanism involving generation of aryl radicals via C-I bond homolysis of photoexcited aryl iodides and their subsequent addition to alkenes is proposed. The method enables iodide-selective cross-coupling over other halogen leaving groups with functional group compatibility on both arene and alkene motifs.

We have developed a convenient development-scale reactor (0.44 mol/h) to prepare diazomethane from N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide (MNTS) in ～80% yield. Diazomethane (CH2N2) made with this reactor is extracted into nitrogen gas from the liquid reaction mixture, effectively removing it from reagents and byproducts that may interfere in subsequent reactions. Vertically oriented tubular reactors were used to produce and consume diazomethane in situ. Key features of this reactor include high productivity and correspondingly low reactor volume (reactor volume/liquid flow rate = 6.5 min) and a commercially available gas/liquid separator equipped with a selectively permeating hydrophilic membrane. The design of the reactor keeps the inventory below 53 mg of CH2N2 during normal operation. The reactor was demonstrated by generating CH2N2 that was used in a connected continuous reactor. We evaluated esterification reactions and a continuous Pd-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction with the reactor and achieved high conversion with 1.5 and 4.1 equiv of MNTS precursor, respectively.
