NHC Effects on Reduction Dynamics in Iron-Catalyzed Organic Transformations**

The high abundance, low toxicity and rich redox chemistry of iron has resulted in a surge of iron-catalyzed organic transformations over the last two decades. Within this area, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been widely utilized to achieve high yields across reactions including cross-coupling and C?H alkylation, amongst others. Central to the development of iron-NHC catalytic methods is the understanding of iron speciation and the propensity of these species to undergo reduction events, as low-valent iron species can be advantageous or undesirable from one system to the next. This study highlights the importance of the identity of the NHC on iron speciation upon reaction with EtMgBr, where reactions with SIMes and IMes NHCs were shown to undergo β-hydride elimination more readily than those with SIPr and IPr NHCs. This insight is vital to developing new iron-NHC catalyzed transformations as understanding how to control this reduction by simply changing the NHC is central to improving the reactivity in iron-NHC catalysis.

Metal-Organic Framework-Confined Single-Site Base-Metal Catalyst for Chemoselective Hydrodeoxygenation of Carbonyls and Alcohols

Chemoselective deoxygenation of carbonyls and alcohols using hydrogen by heterogeneous base-metal catalysts is crucial for the sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels. We report an aluminum metal-organic framework (DUT-5) node support cobalt(II) hydride, which is a highly chemoselective and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for deoxygenation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic ketones, aldehydes, and primary and secondary alcohols, including biomass-derived substrates under 1 bar H2. The single-site cobalt catalyst (DUT-5-CoH) was easily prepared by postsynthetic metalation of the secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 with CoCl2 followed by the reaction of NaEt3BH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) indicated the presence of CoII and AlIII centers in DUT-5-CoH and DUT-5-Co after catalysis. The coordination environment of the cobalt center of DUT-5-Co before and after catalysis was established by extended X-ray fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and density functional theory. The kinetic and computational data suggest reversible carbonyl coordination to cobalt preceding the turnover-limiting step, which involves 1,2-insertion of the coordinated carbonyl into the cobalt-hydride bond. The unique coordination environment of the cobalt ion ligated by oxo-nodes within the porous framework and the rate independency on the pressure of H2 allow the deoxygenation reactions chemoselectively under ambient hydrogen pressure.

Dilithium Amides as a Modular Bis-Anionic Ligand Platform for Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling

Dilithium amides have been developed as a bespoke and general ligand for iron-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-coupling reactions, their design taking inspiration from previous mechanistic and structural studies. They allow for the cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with sp2-hybridized electrophiles as well as aryl Grignard reagents with sp3-hybridized electrophiles. This represents a rare example of a single iron-catalyzed system effective across diverse coupling reactions without significant modification of the catalytic protocol, as well as remaining operationally simple.

The Highly Effective Cobalt Based Metal–Organic Frameworks Catalyst for One Pot Oxidative Esterification Under Mild Conditions

The cobalt-based metal organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) catalyst has been prepared with using terephthalic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine as organic linkers by facile solvothermal method for one pot oxidative esterification. The prepared catalyst was pyrolysed at different temperature and then applied for oxidation of aldehyde using molecular oxygen as benign oxidant under mild conditions. The Co-MOFs pyrolysed at 800?°C (denoted as Co-MOFs-800) catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity, selectivity and recyclability toward the oxidative esterification of benzaldehydes. Furthermore, it can be reused up to 5 runs without significant loss of activity. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Efficient aerobic oxidation of alcohols to esters by acidified carbon nitride photocatalysts

Photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols for the direct synthesis of esters has received significant attention in recent years, but the relatively low efficiency and selectivity under visible light irradiation is the main challenge for their practical applications. Here, surface acidic sites were imparted onto metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts by the protonation of carbon nitride (HMCN) to promote the activity for the esterification reaction through further adsorption and activation of the intermediate aldehyde. The activation of the substrate could be remarkably modulated through tuning the acidic sites on the surface of the photocatalyst, leading to a controllable reactivity of the catalytic reaction. The one-pot process for the direct aerobic oxidative esterification of alcohol exhibits high efficiency and selectivity under mild and additive-free conditions and the apparent quantum yield (AQY) of the photocatalytic esterification reaction is 0.41% at 420 nm. Moreover, a scalable photocatalytic process by the merging of a continuous flow system with the heterogeneous HMCN photocatalyst is demonstrated, combining high catalytic efficiency and stability at ambient temperatures and being promising for larger-scale applications.

Copper-catalyzed formal transfer hydrogenation/deuteration of aryl alkynes

A copper-catalyzed reduction of alkynes to alkanes and deuterated alkanes is described under transfer hydrogenation and transfer deuteration conditions. Commercially available alcohols and silanes are used interchangeably with their deuterated analogues as the hydrogen or deuterium sources. Transfer deuteration of terminal and internal aryl alkynes occurs with high levels of deuterium incorporation. Alkyne-containing complex natural product analogues undergo transfer hydrogenation and transfer deuteration selectively, in high yield. Mechanistic experiments support the reaction occurring through a cis-alkene intermediate and demonstrate the possibility for a regioselective alkyne transfer hydrodeuteration reaction.

Novel nickel nanoparticles stabilized by imidazolium-amidinate ligands for selective hydrogenation of alkynes

The main challenge in the hydrogenation of alkynes into (E)- or (Z)-alkenes is to control the selective formation of the alkene, avoiding the over-reduction to the corresponding alkane. In addition, the preparation of recoverable and reusable catalysts is of high interest. In this work, we report novel nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) stabilized by three different imidazolium-amidinate ligands (ICy·(Ar)NCN; L1: Ar = p-tol, L2: Ar = p-anisyl and L3: Ar = p-ClC6H4). The as-prepared Ni NPs were fully characterized by (HR)-TEM, XRD, WASX, XPS and VSM. The nanocatalysts are active in the hydrogenation of various substrates. They present a remarkable selectivity in the hydrogenation of alkynes towards (Z)-alkenes, particularly in the hydrogenation of 3-hexyne into (Z)-3-hexene under mild reaction conditions (room temperature, 3% mol Ni and 1 bar H2). The catalytic behaviour of Ni NPs was influenced by the electron donor/acceptor groups (-Me, -OMe, -Cl) in the N-aryl substituents of the amidinate moiety of the ligands. Due to the magnetic character of the Ni NPs, recycling experiments were successfully performed after decantation in the presence of an external magnet, which allowed us to recover and reuse these catalysts at least 3 times preserving both activity and chemoselectivity.

Hydrogenation of Alkenes Catalyzed by a Non-pincer Mn Complex

Hydrogenation of substituted styrenes and unactivated aliphatic alkenes by molecular hydrogen has been achieved using a Mn catalyst with a non-pincer, picolylphosphine ligand. This is the second reported example of alkene hydrogenation catalyzed by a Mn complex. Mechanistic studies showed that a Mn hydride formed by H2 activation in the presence of a base is the catalytically active species. Based on experimental and DFT studies, H2 splitting is proposed to occur via a metal-ligand cooperative pathway involving deprotonation of the CH2 arm of the ligand, leading to pyridine dearomatization.

Exploiting the trifluoroethyl group as a precatalyst ligand in nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-type alkylations

We report herein the exploitment of the partially fluorinated trifluoroethyl as precatalyst ligands in nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-type alkylation and fluoroalkylation coupling reactions. Compared with the [LnNiII(aryl)(X)] precatalysts, the unique characters of bis-trifluoroethyl ligands imparted precatalyst [(bipy)Ni(CH2CF3)2] with bench-top stability, good solubilities in organic media and interesting catalytic activities. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that an eliminative extrusion of a vinylidene difluoride (VDF, CH2CF2) mask from [(bipy)Ni(CH2CF3)2] is a critical step for the initiation of a catalytic reaction.
