Cu nanoparticles embedded on reticular chitosan-derived N-doped carbon: Application to the catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes and N-heteroarenes

Applying biomass-waste as catalysts and catalytic supports is gaining a tremendous interest owing to its expected outcomes in terms of cost effectiveness and sustainability. In this context, we herein disclose a straightforward encapsulation of nanosized copper on hierarchically porous, biomass-derived nitrogen-containing carbon framework. Our approach uses chitosan - derived from the marine shell-fish wastes - as a cheap, sustainable carbon and nitrogen source, melamine as nitrogen provider and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as a cross-linker to induce the reticular network, much suitable for restricting the growth of the metal seeds. The resulting copper grown on nitrogen-doped carbon, bearing relatively large surface area (106 m2·g?1) and a large group of well-dispersed Cu nanoparticles (average of 2 nm) even with high Cu loading (41 wt%), exhibits catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of unsaturated double and triple carbon-carbon bonds and heteroaryles. This sustainable design of catalyst, using affordable copper and cheap biowaste, could discard palladium and other expensive elements loaded on tedious synthetic supports from the library of heterogeneous solids intended for fine chemical synthesis.

Engineering the geometric and electronic structure of Ru: Via Ru-TiO2interaction for enhanced selective hydrogenation

Modulation of the metal-support interaction plays a key role in many important chemical reactions. Here, by adjusting the reduction method of the catalyst and introducing oxygen vacancies in TiO2 to regulate the interaction between Ru and TiO2, four supported Ru nanocatalysts with different encapsulation degrees and electronic structures were obtained. Ru nanoparticles (NPs) partially encapsulated by TiO2 can achieve the selective hydrogenation of 6-chloroquinoline even at room temperature, with a TOF of 12 h-1. Catalytic characterization and DFT calculations indicated that partially encapsulated Ru NPs not only provided active sites for H2 dissociation, but also reduced the probability of Ru NPs being poisoned. Meanwhile, the oxygen vacancies on the surface of TiO2 can adsorb 6-chloroquinoline molecules and provide additional active sites for hydrogenation via hydrogen spillover. Moreover, the enhanced electron transfer from oxygen-deficient TiO2 to Ru made Ru electron-rich, which repelled C-Cl bonds and effectively prevented the production of dechlorination products.

Geometric and electronic effects on the performance of a bifunctional Ru2P catalyst in the hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heteroarenes

The development of bifunctional catalysts for the efficient hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles is a challenge. In this study, Ru2P/AC effectively promoted reversible transformations between unsaturated and saturated N-heterocycles affording yields of 98% and 99%, respectively. Moreover, a remarkable enhancement in the reusability of Ru2P/AC was observed compared with other Ru-based catalysts. According to density functional theory calculations, the superior performance of Ru2P/AC was ascribed to specific synergistic factors, namely geometric and electronic effects induced by P. P greatly reduced the large Ru-Ru ensembles and finely modified the electronic structures, leading to a low reaction barrier and high desorption ability of the catalyst, further boosting the hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenation processes.

Encapsulating Cobalt into N-Doping Hollow Frameworks for Efficient Cascade Catalysis

The development of nonprecious catalysts for hydrogenation of organic molecules is of great importance in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report a series of N-doped hollow carbon frameworks encompassing cobalt nanoparticles (denoted as Co@NHF-900) constructed as a new kind of reusable catalyst for this purpose by pyrolysis of ZIF-8@Co-dopamine under Ar atmospheres. Notably, the framework of ZIF-8 is essential for efficient catalyst by providing a carbon framework to support Co-dopamine. The experimental results reveal that the ZIF-8 renders a large hollow place within the catalysts, allowing the enrichment of the substrate and windows of the hollow structure and the ease of mass transfer of products during the reaction. All of the virtues made Co@NHF-900 a good candidate for hydrogenation of quinolines with high activity (TOF value of 119 h-1, which is several times than that of akin catalysts) and chemoselectivity.

Cu-Catalyzed Chemoselective Reduction of N-Heteroaromatics with NH3·BH3 in Aqueous Solution

An efficient catalytic system was successfully developed on reduction of N-heteroaromatics with H3N?BH3 as hydrogen source in CuSO4 solution, featuring excellent chemoselectivity as well as very broad functional group tolerance. Various challenging substrates, such as OH-, NH2-, Cl-, Br-, etc., contained quinolines, quinoxalines, 1,5-naphthyridines and quinazolines were all reduced smoothly. Mechanistic studies suggested that [Cu-H] intermediate might be generated from NH3?BH3, which was believed to form with H3N?BH3 in CuSO4 solution.

Cu Nanoclusters Anchored on the Metal-Organic Framework for the Hydrolysis of Ammonia Borane and the Reduction of Quinolines

Free-access active sites created and the interaction regulated between them and substrates during the heterogeneous catalysis process are crucial, which remain a great challenge. In this work, in suit reduced to afford naked Cu nanoparticles (NPs) have been anchored on the metal-organic framework (MOF), NH2-MOF, to form Cu-NH2-MOF. The strategy can precisely control the Cu NP formation with small size and uniform distribution. The Cu NP properties and MOF advantages have been integrated to create a great catalyst with multiple functions and have resulted in improving the recyclability and superb catalytic activity for the one-pot reduction of heterocycle reactions under mild conditions. The experimental and theoretical calculation results show that the superior performance should be attributed to the framework of NH2-MOF that provides large caves for substrate enrichment and the stabilization of Cu sites by the -NH2 group.

Palladium supported on magnesium hydroxyl fluoride: An effective acid catalyst for the hydrogenation of imines and N-heterocycles

Palladium catalysts supported on acidic fluorinated magnesium hydroxide Pd/MgF2-x(OH)x were prepared through precipitation or impregnation methods. Applications to the hydrogenation of various aldimines and ketimines resulted in good catalytic activities at mild temperatures using one atmosphere of hydrogen. Quinolines, pyridines and other N-heterocycles were successfully hydrogenated at higher temperature and hydrogen pressure using low palladium loadings and without the use of any acid additive. Such reactivity trend confirmed the positive effect of the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites from the fluorinated magnesium hydroxide support resulting in the effective pre-activation of N-heterocycle substrates and therefore in the good catalytic activity of the palladium nanoparticles during the hydrogenations. As demonstrated in the hydrogenation of imines, the catalyst was recycled up to 10 times without either loss of activity or palladium leaching. This journal is

Identification and synthesis of DDI-6, a quinolinol analog capable of activating both caenorhabditis elegans and mouse spermatozoa

Sperm activation is an essential process by which the male gametes become capable of fertilization. Because the process in Caenorhabditis elegans is readily reproducible in vitro, this organism serves as an excellent model to investigate it. C. elegans sperm activation in vivo occurs during spermiogenesis. Membranous organelles (MOs) contained within spermatids fuse with the plasma membrane, resulting in extracellular release of their contents and relocation of some proteins indispensable for fertilization from the MO membrane onto the sperm surface. Intriguingly, these cytological alternations are exhibited similarly in mouse spermatozoa during the acrosome reaction, which also represents a form of sperm activation, prompting us to hypothesize that C. elegans and mice share a common mechanism for sperm activation. To explore this, we first screened a chemical library to identify compounds that activate C. elegans spermatozoa. Because a quinolinol analog named DDI-6 seemed to be a candidate sperm activator, we synthesized it to use for further analyses. This involved direct dechlorination and hydrogenolysis of commercially available 5-chloro-8-quinolinol, both of which are key steps to yield 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-8-quinolinol, and we subsequently introduced the sulfonamide group to the compound. When C. elegans spermatids were stimulated with solvent alone or the newly synthesized DDI-6, approx. 3% and approx. 28% of spermatids became MO-fused spermatozoa, respectively. Moreover, DDI-6 triggered the acrosome reaction in approx. 20% of mouse spermatozoa, while approx. 12% became acrosome-reacted after mock stimulation. Thus, DDI-6 serves as a moderately effective activator for both C. elegans and mouse spermatozoa.

A proton-responsive annulated mesoionic carbene (MIC) scaffold on IR complex for proton/hydride shuttle: An experimental and computational investigation on reductive amination of aldehyde

A Cp*Ir(III) complex (1) bearing a proton-responsive hydroxy unit on an annulated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine based mesoionic carbene scaffold was synthesized by two different synthetic routes. The molecular structure of 1 revealed an anionic lactam form of the ligand. The acid?base equilibrium between the lactam-lactim tautomers on the ligand scaffold was examined by 1H NMR and UV?vis spectra. The pKa of the appendage ?OH group in the lactim form of 1 was estimated to assess the proton transfer property of the catalyst. The catalytic efficacy of 1 for reductive amination of aldehyde was evaluated by utilizing three different hydrogen sources: molecular H2iPrOH/KOtBu combination, and HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) azeotropic mixture. The HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) azeotropic mixture rotocol was found to be the best amon the three different h dro enation methods. Catalyst 1 hydrogenates imines chemoselectively over carbonyls under the reaction conditions. A range of aldehydes was reductively aminated to the corresponding secondary amines using the HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) azeotropic mixture. Further, catalyst 1 showed high efficiency for the reduction of a wide variety of N-heterocyclic imine derivatives. The lactam-lactim tautomerization of the ligand system is proposed for direct hydrogenation, whereas only the lactam form operates in the strongly basic medium (iPrOH/KOtBu). Under HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) conditions, the lactam scaffold is not protonated; rather, an outer-sphere hydride transfer from formate to the Ir is proposed, which is supported by 1H NMR and DFT calculations. Finally, ligand-promoted hydride transfer from metal-hydride to the protonated imine affords the corresponding amine. A close agreement between the experimentally estimated and computed thermodynamic/kinetic parameters gives credence to the metal-ligand cooperative mechanism for the imine hydrogenation reaction using the HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) azeotropic mixture.

Boric acid catalyzed chemoselective reduction of quinolines

Boric acid promoted transfer hydrogenation of substituted quinolines to synthetically versatile 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (1,2,3,4-THQs) was described under mild reaction conditions using a Hantzsch ester as a mild organic hydrogen source. This methodology is practical and efficient, where isolated yields are excellent and reducible functional groups are well tolerated in the N-heteroarene moiety. The reaction parameters and tentative mechanistic pathways are demonstrated by various control experiments and NMR studies. The present work can also be scaled up to obtain gram quantities and the utility of the developed process is illustrated by the transformation of 1,2,3,4-THQs into a series of biologically important molecules including the antiarrhythmic drug nicainoprol.
