Disproportionation of aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions often requires the application of high temperatures, equimolar or excess quantities of strong bases, and is mostly limited to the aldehydes with no CH2 or CH3 adjacent to the carbonyl group. Herein, we developed an efficient, mild, and multifunctional catalytic system consisting AlCl3/Et3N in CH2Cl2, that can selectively convert a wide range of not only aliphatic, but also aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, acids, and dimerized esters at room temperature, and in high yields, without formation of the side products that are generally observed. We have also shown that higher AlCl3 content favors the reaction towards Cannizzaro reaction, yet lower content favors Tishchenko reaction. Moreover, the presence of hydride donor alcohols in the reaction mixture completely directs the reaction towards the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction.

Ruthenium (II) piano-stool complexes with bis-(+)-camphopyrazole ligands of C2 and C1 symmetry were prepared in good yields (66–98%). New C2-C1 ligands and complexes were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR and elemental analysis. The catalytic performance of the Ru(II)-bis-(+)-camphopyrazole complexes in the transfer hydrogenation of benzaldehyde and valeraldehyde using isopropanol/potassium carbonate and formic acid/triethylamine mixtures as hydrogen donors, was evaluated, resulting in moderate yields (>54%) for the reduction to the desired primary alcohols. The system with isopropanol as hydrogen source proved to be more selective than the analogous system using the azeotropic formic acid/triethylamine mixture, allowing benzyl alcohol to be obtained in quantitative yield (>99%) for a particular catalyst precursor. Furthermore, complexes with C2 symmetry ligands showed higher yields than those with C1 symmetry ligands in all of the evaluated systems.
Chromium-Catalyzed Production of Diols From Olefins

Paragraph 0111, (2021/03/19)
Processes for converting an olefin reactant into a diol compound are disclosed, and these processes include the steps of contacting the olefin reactant and a supported chromium catalyst comprising chromium in a hexavalent oxidation state to reduce at least a portion of the supported chromium catalyst to form a reduced chromium catalyst, and hydrolyzing the reduced chromium catalyst to form a reaction product comprising the diol compound. While being contacted, the olefin reactant and the supported chromium catalyst can be irradiated with a light beam at a wavelength in the UV-visible spectrum. Optionally, these processes can further comprise a step of calcining at least a portion of the reduced chromium catalyst to regenerate the supported chromium catalyst.

A series of Co supported on Al-modified SBA-15 catalysts has been studied in the gas phase direct transformation of levulinic acid (LA) into ethyl valerate (EV) using a continuous fixed-bed reactor and ethanol as solvent. It was observed that once the intermediate product gamma-valerolactone (GVL) has been formed, the presence of aluminum is required for the selective transformation to EV. Three Lewis acid sites (LAS) are identified (from highest to lowest acid strength): aluminum ions in tetrahedral and octahedral coordination and Co2+sites. The intrinsic activity of these LAS for the key reaction, the GVL ring opening, decreases with the strength of these acid sites, but so does the undesirable formation of coke, also catalyzed by these centers. The best catalyst was that with the highest Al content, CoSBA-2.5Al, that reached an EV yield of up to 70%. This result is associated with the presence of LAS attributed to the presence of Co2+surface species that, although having low intrinsic activity in the selective GVL ring-opening reaction, are highly concentrated in this sample and also possess less activity in the undesirable and deactivating formation of coke. These Co2+LAS have been stabilized by incorporation of aluminum into the support, modifying the reducibility and dispersion of cobalt species. Additionally, the lower proportion of metallic Co species decreases the hydrogenating capacity of this catalyst. This decrease is a positive result because it prevents GVL hydrogenation to undesired products. This catalyst also showed promising stability in a 140 h on-stream run.

Highly efficient conversion of carboxylic acids to valuable alcohols is a great challenge for easily corroded non-noble metal catalysts. Here, a series of few-layer graphene encapsulated metastable hexagonal closed-packed (hcp) Co nanoparticles were fabricated by reductive pyrolysis of metal-organic framework precursor. The sample pyrolyzed at 400 °C (hcp-Co@G400) presented outstanding performance and stability for converting a variety of functional carboxylic acids and its turnover frequency was one magnitude higher than that of conventional facc-centered cubic (fcc) Co catalysts. In situ DRIFTS spectroscopy of model reaction acetic acid hydrogenation and DFT calculation results confirm that carboxylic acid initially undergoes dehydroxylation to RCH2CO* followed by consecutive hydrogenation to RCH2CH2OH through RCH2COH*. Acetic acid prefers to vertically adsorb at hcp-Co (0 0 2) facet with a much lower adsorption energy than parallel adsorption at fcc-Co (1 1 1) surface, which plays a key role in decreasing the activation barrier of the rate-determining step of acetic acid dehydroxylation.

Twenty-three natural jamunone analogues along with a series of jamunone-based derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects against breast cancer (BC) MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. The preliminary structure-activity relationship revealed that the length of aliphatic side chain and free phenolic hydroxyl group at the scaffold played a vital role in anti-BC activities and the methyl group on chromanone affected the selectivity of molecules against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. Among them, jamunone M (JM) was screened as the most effective anti-triple-negative breast cancer (anti-TNBC) candidate with a high selectivity against BC cells over normal human cells. Mechanistic investigations indicated that JM could induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and cause G0/G1 phase arrest in BC cells. Furthermore, JM significantly restrained tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 xenograft mice without apparent toxicity. Interestingly, JM could downregulate phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by suppressing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) expression. These findings revealed the potential of JM as an appealing therapeutic drug candidate for TNBC.

The direct synthesis of iso-butanol is an important reaction in syngas (composed of CO and H2) conversion. K-ZnO/ZnCr2O4(K-ZnCr) is a commonly used catalyst. Here, Ga3+is used as an effective promoter to boost the efficiency of the catalyst and retard the production of CO2. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy and electron microscopy were used to characterize the structural variations with different amounts of Ga3+, the results showed that the particle size of the catalyst decreases with the addition of Ga3+. The temperature-programmed desorption of NH3and CO2, and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTs) analysis of the CO adsorption revealed that the acidity and basicity were altered owing to the different forms of Ga3+adoption. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the formation of Ga clusters that are coordinated on the exposed surfaces of ZnCr2O4, and undergo a tetra-coordinated Ga3+exchange with one of the Zn in ZnCr2O4(ZG) and ZnGa2O4, probably depends on the amount of Ga added. The structural evolution of the Ga3+promoted K-ZnO/ZnCr2O4catalysts can be described as follows: (i) the main forms are ZG and Ga coordinated ZnCr2O4, in which the amount of Ga3+is below 1.10 wt%; and (ii) the Ga3+containing compound is gradually changed from ZG to ZnGa2O4and the amount of gallium clusters increased when the amount of Ga3+was higher than 1.10 wt%. The catalytic performance evaluation results show that K-Ga1.10ZnCr exhibits the highest space time yield and selectivity of alcohols, in which the three compounds play different roles in syngas conversion: ZG is the main active site that boosts the efficiency of the catalysts, owing to the intensified CO adsorption and decreased activation energy of CHO formation through CO hydrogenation; ZnGa2O4only modifies the surface basicity and acidity on the catalyst, thereby impacting the carbon chain growth after the CO is adsorbed. The effects of Ga coordinated with ZnCr2O4shows little impact on the CO adsorption owing to the weak electron donating effects of Ga.
