The versatile application of different functional groups such as alcohols (1° and 2°), alkyl arenes, and (aryl)olefins to construct carbon-oxygen bond via oxidation is an area of intense research. Here, we report a reusable heterogeneous V2O5@TiO2 catalyzed selective oxidation of various functionalities utilizing different mild and eco-compatible oxidants under greener reaction conditions. The method was successfully applied for the alcohol oxidation, oxidative scission of styrenes, and benzylic C?H oxidation to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones. The utilization of mild and eco-friendly oxidizing reagents such as K2S2O8, H2O2 (30 % aq.), TBHP (70 % aq.), broad substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis, and catalyst recyclability are notable features of the developed protocol.

We have demonstrated a green chemistry approach using the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus for the reductive dehalogenation and synthesis of chiral secondary carbinols and halohydrins of pharmaceutical importance in mild, inexpensive, and environmental friendly process at ambient temperature. In the present study, we have succeeded in unravelling the relationship between the position of the substituent group in the structure of substrate and bioreduction activity of the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus. The asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group to corresponding chiral halohydrin takes place with good yield and excellent enantiomeric excess (≥92%) when the substituent halogen is on the aromatic nucleus. However, novel results concerning reductive dehalogenation are obtained when halogen is incorporated in the alkyl side chain. Thus, the fungus Rhizopus arrhizus has great potential to bring chemoenzymatic biotransformation of halo ketones. Various influential processing parameters such as microbe selection, temperature, pH, etc. were also investigated to optimize the growth of biocatalyst.

A tandem protocol to access tertiary alcohols has been developed which combines the organocatalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones followed by their chemoselective addition by several RLi reagents. Reactions take place at room temperature, under air and in aqueous solutions, a trio of conditions that are typically forbidden in polar organometallic chemistry.
