Tandem catalytic reactions improve atom- and step-economy over traditional synthesis but are limited by the incompatibility of the required catalysts. Herein, we report the design of bifunctional metal-organic layers (MOLs), HfOTf-Fe and HfOTf-Mn, consisting of triflate (OTf)-capped Hf6 secondary building units (SBUs) as strong Lewis acidic centers and metalated TPY ligands as metal active sites for tandem catalytic transformations using O2 and CO2 as coreactants. HfOTf-Fe effectively transforms hydrocarbons into cyanohydrins via tandem oxidation with O2 and silylcyanation whereas HfOTf-Mn converts styrenes into styrene carbonates via tandem epoxidation and CO2 insertion. Density functional theory calculations revealed the involvement of a high-spin FeIV (S = 2) center in the challenging oxidation of the sp3 C-H bond. This work highlights the potential of MOLs as a tunable platform to incorporate multiple catalysts for tandem transformations.

A novel one-pot two-step procedure has been developed to synthesize highly substituted 2-arylpropionic and arylacetic acids, by treatment with aqueous HI, from cyanohydrins. The hydrogenolytic reduction of α-hydroxy-2-arylpropionic acids was the key step of the process and the optimization of the reaction conditions led to identify aqueous HI as an appropriate and selective reagent for the reductive deoxygenation of cyanohydrins. The synthetic route described a general and efficient strategy for the preparation of large libraries of phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids derivatives.

A combination of tetrachlorosilane and potassium cyanide (in situ trichlorosilyl cyanide) was found to work efficiently for hydrocyanation of ketones to afford the corresponding cyanohydrins in high yield under mild conditions. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
