Transfer hydrogenation reactions are of great interest to reduce diverse molecules under mild reaction conditions. To date, this type of reaction has only been successfully applied to alkenes, alkynes and polarized unsaturated compounds such as ketones, imines, pyridines, etc. The reduction of benzene derivatives by transfer hydrogenation has never been described, which is likely due to the high energy barrier required to dearomatize these compounds. In this context, we have developed a catalytic transfer hydrogenation reaction for the reduction of benzene derivatives and heteroarenes to form complex 3-dimensional scaffolds bearing various functional groups at room temperature without needing compressed hydrogen gas.

A trans-selective arene hydrogenation of abundant phenol derivatives catalyzed by a commercially available heterogeneous palladium catalyst is reported. The described method tolerates a variety of functional groups and provides access to a broad scope of trans-configurated cyclohexanols as potential building blocks for life sciences and beyond in a one-step procedure. The transformation is strategically important because arene hydrogenation preferentially delivers the opposite cis-isomers. The diastereoselectivity of the phenol hydrogenation can be switched to the cis-isomers by employing rhodium-based catalysts. Moreover, a protocol for the chemoselective hydrogenation of phenols to cyclohexanones was developed.

The substitution reaction of the diethyl allylic and propargylic phosphates with Ar2CH anions was applied to sec-alkyl phosphates to compare reactivity and stereoselectivity. However, the substitution took place on the ethyl carbon of the diethyl phosphate group. We then found that the diphenyl phosphate leaving group ((PhO)2PO2) was suited for the substitution at the sec-alkyl carbon. Enantioenriched diphenyl sec-alkyl phosphates with different substituents (Me, Et, iPr) on the vicinal position underwent the substitution reaction with almost complete inversion (>99% enantiospecificity). The substitution reactions of cyclohexyl phosphates possessing cis or trans substituents (Me and/or tBu) at the C4, C3, and C2 positions of the cyclohexane ring were also studied to observe the difference in reactivity among the cis and trans isomers. A transition-state model with the phosphate leaving group ((PhO)2PO2) in the axial position was proposed to explain the difference. This model was supported by computational calculation of the virtual substitution reaction of the structurally simpler “dimethyl” cyclohexyl phosphates (leaving group = (MeO)2PO2) with MeLi. Furthermore, the calculation unexpectedly indicated higher propensity of (PhO)2PO2 as a leaving reactivity than alkyl phosphate groups such as (MeO)2PO2 and (iPrO)2PO2.

The development of inexpensive and practical catalysts for arene hydrogenations is key for future valorizations of this general feedstock. Here, we report the development of cobalt nanoparticles supported on silica as selective and general catalysts for such reactions. The specific nanoparticles were prepared by assembling cobalt-pyromellitic acid-piperazine coordination polymer on commercial silica and subsequent pyrolysis. Applying the optimal nanocatalyst, industrial bulk, substituted, and functionalized arenes as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are selectively hydrogenated to obtain cyclohexane-based compounds under industrially viable and scalable conditions. The applicability of this hydrogenation methodology is presented for the storage of H2 in liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

A new representative of an unusual family of metallagermaniumsesquioxanes, namely the heterometallic cagelike phenylgermsesquioxane (PhGeO2)12Cu2Fe5(O)OH(PhGe)2O5(bipy)2 (2), was synthesized and structurally characterized. Fe(III) ions of the complex are coordinated by oxa ligands: (i) cyclic (PhGeO2)12 and acyclic (Ph2Ge2O5) germoxanolates and (ii) O2- and (iii) HO- moieties. In turn, Cu(II) ions are coordinated by both oxa (germoxanolates) and aza ligands (2,2′-bipyridines). This "hetero-type" of ligation gives in sum an attractive pagoda-like molecular architecture of the complex 2. Product 2 showed a high catalytic activity in the oxidation of alkanes to the corresponding alkyl hydroperoxides (in yields up to 30%) and alcohols (in yields up to 100%) and in the oxidative formation of benzamides from alcohols (catalyst loading down to 0.4 mol % in Cu/Fe).

The self-Assembly synthesis of Cu(II)-silsesquioxane involving 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (neocuproine) as an additional N ligand at copper atoms was performed. The reaction revealed an unprecedented aerobic hydroxylation of only one of the two methyl groups in neocuproine to afford the corresponding geminal diol. The produced derivative of oxidized neocuproine acts as a two-centered N,O ligand in the assembly of the hexacopper cage product [Cu6(Ph5Si5O10)2·(C14H11N2O2)2] (1), coordinating two of the six copper centers in the product. Two siloxanolate ligands [PhSi(O)O]5 in the cis configuration coordinate to the rest of the copper(II) ions. Compound 1 is a highly efficient homogeneous precatalyst in the oxidation of alkanes and alcohols with peroxides.

p-Tolylimido rhenium(V) complexes, trans-(Cl,Cl)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Cl2(4-MeO-quin-2-COO)(PPh3)] (1), trans-(Br,Br)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Br2(4-MeO-quin-2-COO)(PPh3)]·2MeCN (2), trans-(Cl,Cl)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Cl2(isoquin-1-COO)(PPh3)] (3), trans-(Br,Br)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Br2(isoquin-1-COO)(PPh3)] (4), cis-(Cl,Cl)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Cl2(4-MeO-quin-2-COO)(PPh3)] (5), cis-(Br,Br)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Br2(4-MeO-quin-2-COO)(PPh3)]·MeOH (6), cis-(Cl,Cl)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Cl2(isoquin-1-COO)(PPh3)] (7) and cis-(Br,Br)-[Re(p-NC6H4CH3)Br2(isoquin-1-COO)(PPh3)] (8), have been synthesized and characterized using X-ray analysis and spectroscopic methods (IR,1H,13C and31P NMR, UV–Vis). To elucidate the structural, spectroscopic and bonding properties, the theoretical calculations at the DFT level were undertaken for 1, 3, 5 and 7. The synthesized complexes exhibited moderate activity in the oxidation of 1-phenylethanol and certain alkanes (n-heptane and methylcyclohexane) with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in acetonitrile. Chromatograms of products obtained from the alkanes indicated that a sufficient sterical hindrance exists around of the rhenium catalytic center.

New hexanuclear nickel(II) silsesquioxane [(PhSiO1.5)12(NiO)6(NaCl)] (1) was synthesized as its dioxane-benzonitrile-water complex (PhSiO1,5)12(NiO)6(NaCl)(C4H8O2)13(PhCN)2(H2O)2 and studied by X-ray and topological analysis. The compound exhibits cylinder-like type of molecular architecture and represents very rare case of polyhedral complexation of metallasilsesquioxane with benzonitrile. Complex 1 exhibited catalytic activity in activation of such small molecules as light alkanes and alcohols. Namely, oxidation of alcohols with tert-butylhydroperoxide and alkanes with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The oxidation of methylcyclohexane gave rise to the isomeric ketones and unusual distribution of alcohol isomers.

Isomeric cage-like tetracopper(II) silsesquioxane complexes [(PhSiO1.5)12(CuO)4(NaO0.5)4] (1a), [(PhSiO1.5)6(CuO)4(NaO0.5)4(PhSiO1.5)6] (1b) and binuclear complex [(PhSiO1.5)10(CuO)2(NaO0.5)2] (2) have been studied by various methods. These compounds can be considered as models of some multinuclear copper-containing enzymes. Compounds 1a and 2 are good pre-catalysts for the alkane oxygenation with hydrogen peroxide in air in an acetonitrile solution. Thus, the 1a-catalyzed reaction with cyclohexane at 60°C gave mainly cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in 17% yield (turnover number, TON, was 190 after 230 min and initial turnover frequency, TOF, was 100 h-1). The alkyl hydroperoxide partly decomposes in the course of the reaction to afford the corresponding ketone and alcohol. The effective activation energy for the cyclohexane oxygenation catalyzed by compounds 1a and 2 is 16 ± 2 and 17 ± 2 kcal mol-1, respectively. Selectivity parameters measured in the oxidation of linear and branched alkanes and the kinetic analysis revealed that the oxidizing species in the reaction is the hydroxyl radical. The analysis of the dependence of the initial reaction rate on the initial concentration of cyclohexane led to a conclusion that hydroxyl radicals attack the cyclohexane molecules in proximity to the copper reaction centers. The oxidations of saturated hydrocarbons with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) catalyzed by complexes 1a and 2 exhibit unusual selectivity parameters which are due to the steric hindrance created by bulky silsesquioxane ligands surrounding copper reactive centers. Thus, the methylene groups in n-octane have different reactivities: the regioselectivity parameter for the oxidation with TBHP catalyzed by 1a is 1:10.5:8:7. Furthermore, in the oxidation of methylcyclohexane the position 2 relative to the methyl group of this substrate is noticeably less reactive than the corresponding positions 3 and 4. Finally, the oxidation of trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane with TBHP catalyzed by complexes 1a and 2 proceeds stereoselectively with the inversion of configuration. The 1a-catalyzed reaction of cyclohexane with H216O2 in an atmosphere of 18O2 gives cyclohexyl hydroperoxide containing up to 50% of 18O. The small amount of cyclohexanone, produced along with cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, is 18O-free and is generated apparently via a mechanism which does not include hydroxyl radicals and incorporation of molecular oxygen from the atmosphere.
