An azobenzene based photoswitchable macrocyclic receptor displays different binding affinities in its E and Z forms towards various phosphorylated coenzymes under physiological conditions with remarkable selectivity for ATP in the E-form and selectivity towards GTP in the photoisomerized Z-form. Linear discriminant analysis clearly separated the analytes using the E-form. An application of this method enabled monitoring the progress of enzymatic phosphorylation using a tyrosine kinase enzyme.

Communesins are a class of heptacyclic indole alkaloids that contain two aminal moieties and two contiguous quaternary carbon centers. We have investigated the construction of the pentacyclic skeleton of the communesins by employing the oxidative rearrangement of aurantioclavine derivatives, which are believed to be biosynthetic intermediates of the polycyclic communesin alkaloids. The quaternary C-7 carbon center was constructed in a stereoselective manner, whereas the installation of the C-11 stereocenter requires an epimerization process. The isolation of a 2-ethoxyindolenine prior to the reduction of the nitro group and cyclization steps was critical to the success of this strategy. The pentacyclic skeleton of the communesins has been prepared by the oxidative rearrangement of aurantioclavine derivatives, which are believed to be biosynthetic intermediates of the communesin alkaloids. The quaternary C-7 carbon center was constructed in a stereoselective manner, and the isolation of a 2-ethoxyindolenine intermediate was critical to the success of the strategy.

Optically active, polycarbodiimides 3(a, b & c) with pyridine pendant groups were synthesized using [(R) - 2,2′- binaphthoxy] (di-isopropoxy) titanium(IV) catalyst. The polymers were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, and IR. Thermal stability of these polymers (up to 162?°C by TGA), allows thermally demanding chemical transformations on their side chains without decomposition. Advantages include fine-tunability of the other pendant group of the carbodiimide monomer. This allows one to optimize the properties of the polymer without undergoing copolymerization or further post-polymerization modifications. Borane (BH3) was coordinated to poly 3 (a & b) to prepare the functional polymers 4 (a & b) respectively. A strong IR signature peak at 2368?cm-1 supports BH3 coordination. Gravimetric analysis indicates 97-99% borane complexation of the pyridine units. In addition, the thermal stability increased to 194?°C in poly 4a is consistent with the incorporation of BH3 to the pendant pyridine of the helical polycarbodiimide 3a. Poly 4 (a & b) can be used as supported reagents and successfully reduced the carbonyl compounds (5 a-e) in moderate to excellent yields (60-100%) and are shown to be efficient, non-volatile, stable, and mild supported-reducing reagents. Upon completion of the reduction reaction, the polymer support was quantitatively recycled as required for a green solid catalyst support.

Deuterium labeling is an interesting process that leads to compounds of use in different fields. We describe the transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and the selective C1 deuteration of the obtained alcohols in D2O, as the only deuterium source. Different aromatic, alkylic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were reduced in the presence of [RuCl(p-cymene)(dmbpy)]BF4, (dmbpy=4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) as the pre-catalyst and HCO2Na/HCO2H as the hydrogen source. Moreover, furfural and glucose, were selectively reduced to the valuable alcohols, furfuryl alcohol and sorbitol. The processes were carried out in neat water or in a biphasic water/toluene system. The biphasic system allowed easy recycling, higher yields, and higher selective D incorporation (using D2O/toluene). The deuteration took place due to an efficient effective M–H/D+ exchange from D2O that allows the inversion of polarity of D+ (umpolung). DFT calculations that explain the catalytic behavior in water are also included.

Selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols with KB3H8, an air- and moisture-stable, nontoxic, and easy-to-handle reagent, in water and THF has been explored under an air atmosphere for the first time. Control experiments illustrated the good selectivity of KB3H8 over NaBH4 for the reduction of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde and aromatic keto esters. This journal is

Developing and/or modifying fundamental chemical reactions using chemical industry-favorite heterogeneous recoverable catalytic systems in the water solvent is very important. In this paper, we developed convenient, green, and efficient approaches for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes, N-acetylation of arylamines, and one-pot reductive acetylation of nitroarenes in the presence of the recoverable heterogeneous carbon-supported palladium (Pd/C) catalytic system in water. The utilize of the simple, effective, and recoverable catalyst and also using of water as an entirely green solvent along with relatively short reaction times and good-to-excellent yields of the desired products are some of the noticeable features of the presented synthetic protocols.

Whole seeds of Bauhinia variegata L. (Fabaceae) were utilized as a biological reducer to transform benzaldehyde into benzyl alcohol. The effects of some variables such as temperature, the load of substrate and co-solvent, were established to optimize the reductive process. Utilizing the optimal reaction conditions, a laboratory-scale reaction (final concentration of the substrate: 21.2 mM) was performed to obtain benzyl alcohol (conversion: 95%; isolated yield: 49%; productivity: 1.11 g L?1 or 0.046 g L?1h?1 of benzyl alcohol). In addition, using these optimal conditions, fourteen substituted benzaldehydes were reduced, with a conversion achieved to their corresponding benzyl alcohols ranging from 62% to >99% (isolated yields from 7% to 70%). Moreover, useful building blocks by the synthesis of the drugs and important commercial products were also obtained. The scope, limitations and advantages of this new biocatalytic synthetic method are also discussed.

A novel armor-type composite of metal–organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated CoCu nanoparticles with a Fe3O4 core (Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-CoCu@UiO-66) has been designed and synthesized by the half-way injection method, which successfully serves as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the selective transfer hydrogenation. In this half-way injection approach, the pre-synthetic Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-CoCu was injected into the UiO-66 precursor solution halfway through the MOF budding period. The formed MOF armor could play a role of providing significant additional catalytic sites besides CoCu nanoparticles, protecting CoCu nanoparticles, and improving the catalyst stability, thus facilitating the selective transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzaldehydes into corresponding nitrobenzyl alcohols in high selectivity (99 %) and conversion (99 %) rather than nitro group reduction products. Notably, this method achieves the precise assembly of a MOF-encapsulated composite, and the ingenious combination of MOF and nanoparticles exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the selective hydrogen transfer reaction, implementing a “1+1>2” strategy in catalysis.

Isocyanates are the key intermediates for several organic transformations towards the synthesis of diverse pharmaceutical targets. Herein, we report the development of an oxidant-free protocol for electrochemical in situ generation of isocyanates. This strategy highlights expedient access to benzimidazolones and quinazolinones and eliminates the need for exogenous oxidants. Furthermore, detailed mechanistic studies provide strong support towards our hypothesis of in situ isocyanate generation. This journal is
