Chiral Ligands in Hypervalent Iodine Compounds: Synthesis and Structures of Binaphthyl-Based λ3-Iodanes

Several novel binaphthyl-based chiral hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have been prepared and structurally analysed. Various asymmetric oxidative reactions were applied to evaluate the reactivities and stereoselectivities of those reagents. Moderate to excellent yields were observed; however, very low stereoselectivities were obtained. NMR experiments indicated that these reagents are very easily hydrolysed in either chloroform or DMSO solvents leading to the limited stereoselectivities. It is concluded that the use of chiral ligands is an unsuccessful way to prepare efficient stereoselective iodine(III) reagents.

A Bimetallic Ag/Ti-Based Coordination Polymer as a Catalyst for Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction and Selective Sulfide Oxidation

The first example of heterometallic Ag/Ti bimetallic-based coordination polymer was synthesized using salicylic acid as the ligand. The uniform Ag/Ti?O rod array has efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction activity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 90.3 % at ?0.88 V (vs RHE) and a maximum TOF of 658 h?1 at ?1.08 V. The chemical catalytic property of the Ag/Ti?O rod was also studied, and the results showed that the Ag/Ti?O rod has good catalytic performance for selective oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide.

Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases newly identified for asymmetric oxyfunctionalization of thioether

Two enantiocomplementary Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases RaBVMO and AmBVMO were identified by genome mining for the asymmetric sulfoxidation. Both recombinant BVMOs have optimal pH of 9.0 and temperature of 35 °C. The half-lives of RaBVMO and AmBVMO at 30 °C were 24.4 and 24.6 h. RaBVMO and AmBVMO exhibited broad substrate spectrum and could catalyze the oxidization of various compounds including fatty ketones, cyclic ketones, and thioethers. Kinetic parameters analysis revealed that both RaBVMO and AmBVMO displayed higher catalytic efficiency toward thioanisole than cyclohexanone. As much as 50 mM thioanisole could be completely oxidized by AmBVMO and RaBVMO with 99% (R) and 95% (S), respectively. Molecular docking analysis further provides evidence for the complementary enantioselectivity of RaBVMO and AmBVMO. Our results demonstrate the potential application of the two novel BVMOs in asymmetric synthesis of sulfoxides.

Covalent Organic Frameworks toward Diverse Photocatalytic Aerobic Oxidations

Photoactive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have become promising heterogenous photocatalysts in visible-light-driven organic transformations. Herein, a visible-light-driven selective aerobic oxidation of various small organic molecules by using 2D-COFs as the photocatalyst was developed. In this protocol, due to the remarkable photocatalytic capability of hydrazone-based 2D-COF-1 on molecular oxygen activation, a wide range of amides, quinolones, heterocyclic compounds, and sulfoxides were obtained with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, benefiting from the inherent advantage of heterogenous photocatalysis, prominent sustainability and easy photocatalyst recyclability, a drug molecule (modafinil) and an oxidized mustard gas simulant (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide) were selectively and easily obtained in scale-up reactions. Mechanistic investigations were conducted using radical quenching experiments and in situ ESR spectroscopy, all corroborating the proposed role of 2D-COF-1 in photocatalytic cycle.
