Sterically hindered imine-based non-heme complexes4and5rapidly self-assemble in acetonitrile at 25 °C, when the corresponding building blocks are added in solution in the proper ratios. Such complexes are investigated as catalysts for the H2O2oxidation of a series of substrates in order to ascertain the role and the importance of the ligand steric hindrance on the action of the catalytic core1, previously shown to be an efficient catalyst for aliphatic and aromatic C-H bond oxidation. The study reveals a modest dependence of the output of the oxidation reactions on the presence of bulky substituents in the backbone of the catalyst, both in terms of activity and selectivity. This result supports a previously hypothesized catalytic mechanism, which is based on the hemi-lability of the metal complex. In the active form of the catalyst, one of the pyridine arms temporarily leaves the iron centre, freeing up a lot of room for the access of the substrate.

A general method for the demethylation, debenzylation, and deallylation of aryl ethers using HPPh2andtBuOK is reported. The reaction features mild and metal-free reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, and high chemical selectivity towards aryl ethers over aliphatic structures. Notably, this approach is competent to selectively deprotect the allyl or benzyl group, making it a general and practical method in organic synthesis.

Various synthetic routes to 2-isopropyl-4-methoxyphenol 3, the phenol core of Gefapixant citrate (MK-7264), are described, which provide better alternatives to the initial four-step supply route. These new routes include a coumarin fragmentation approach in flow, a rhenium-catalyzed isopropylation of mequinol, and a bromination/methoxylation of 2-isopropylphenol. After exploring several approaches, a robust two-step process for the preparation of 3 from the commodity starting material 2-isopropylphenol was developed. The optimized route employs a highly regioselective bromination. After isolating the bromophenol DABCO cocrystal, a copper-catalyzed methoxylation delivers 3 in high yield. This route is successfully demonstrated at the plant scale with low process mass intensity and cost.

A series of bioinspired copper(II) complexes of N4-tripodal and sterically crowded diazepane-based ligands have been investigated as catalysts for functionalization of the aromatic C-H bond. The tripodal-ligand-based complexes exhibited distorted trigonal-bipyramidal (TBP) geometry (τ, 0.70) around the copper(II) center; however, diazepane-ligand-based complexes adopted square-pyramidal (SP) geometry (τ, 0.037). The Cu-NPy bonds (2.003-2.096 ?) are almost identical and shorter than Cu-Namine bonds (2.01-2.148 ?). Also, their Cu-O (Cu-Owater, 1.988 ? Cu-Otriflate, 2.33 ?) bond distances are slightly varied. All of the complexes exhibited Cu2+ → Cu+ redox couples in acetonitrile, where the redox potentials of TBP-based complexes (-0.251 to -0.383 V) are higher than those of SP-based complexes (-0.450 to -0.527 V). The d-d bands around 582-757 nm and axial patterns of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra [g∥, 2.200-2.251; A∥, (146-166) × 10-4 cm-1] of the complexes suggest the existence of five-coordination geometry. The bonding parameters showed K∥ > K∥ for all complexes, corresponding to out-of-plane πbonding. The complexes catalyzed direct hydroxylation of benzene using 30% H2O2 and afforded phenol exclusively. The complexes with TBP geometry exhibited the highest amount of phenol formation (37%) with selectivity (98%) superior to that of diazepane-based complexes (29%), which preferred to adopt SP-based geometry. Hydroxylation of benzene likely proceeded via a CuII-OOH key intermediate, and its formation has been established by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, vibrational, and electronic spectra. Their formation constants have been calculated as (2.54-11.85) × 10-2 s-1 from the appearance of an O (π?σ) → Cu ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transition around 370-390 nm. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiments showed values of 0.97-1.12 for all complexes, which further supports the crucial role of Cu-OOH in catalysis. The 18O-labeling studies using H218O2 showed a 92% incorporation of 18O into phenol, which confirms H2O2 as the key oxygen supplier. Overall, the coordination geometry of the complexes strongly influenced the catalytic efficiencies. The geometry of one of the CuII-OOH intermediates has been optimized by the density functional theory method, and its calculated electronic and vibrational spectra are almost similar to the experimentally observed values.

Abstract: The thermal stability of 4-tert-butylphenol has been studied in the temperature range of 673–738?K, the components of the thermolysis reaction mixture have been identified, a kinetic model of the process has been proposed, and the rate constants and parameters of the Arrhenius equation have been calculated for all of the reactions considered. The predominant role of 4-tert-butylphenol isomerization transformations has been established. Information on the 4-tert-butylphenol thermal stability facilitates to a more substantiated approach to its use as an additive that increases the oxidative stability of fuels and lubricants, as well as an antioxidant for polymer compositions.

The OsVI nitrido complex, OsVI(N)(quin)2(OTs) (1, quin=2-quinaldinate, OTs=tosylate), is a highly selective and efficient catalyst for the ring hydroxylation of alkylbenzenes with H2O2 at room temperature. Oxidation of various alkylbenzenes occurs with ring/chain oxidation ratios ranging from 96.7/3.3 to 99.9/0.1, and total product yields from 93 % to 98 %. Moreover, turnover numbers up to 6360, 5670, and 3880 can be achieved for the oxidation of p-xylene, ethylbenzene, and mesitylene, respectively. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the active intermediate is an OsVIII nitrido oxo species.

An iminopyridine Fe(ii) complex, easily prepared in situ by self-assembly of cheap and commercially available starting materials (2-picolylaldehyde, 2-picolylamine, and Fe(OTf)2 in a 2 : 2 : 1 ratio), is shown to be an effective catalyst for the direct hydroxylation of aromatic rings with H2O2 under mild conditions. This catalyst shows a marked preference for aromatic ring hydroxylation over lateral chain oxidation, both in intramolecular and intermolecular competitions, as long as the arene is not too electron poor. The selectivity pattern of the reaction closely matches that of electrophilic aromatic substitutions, with phenol yields and positions dictated by the nature of the ring substituent (electron-donating or electron-withdrawing, ortho-para or meta-orienting). The oxidation mechanism has been investigated in detail, and the sum of the accumulated pieces of evidence, ranging from KIE to the use of radical scavengers, from substituent effects on intermolecular and intramolecular selectivity to rearrangement experiments, points to the predominance of a metal-based SEAr pathway, without a significant involvement of free diffusing radical pathways.

HMCM-49/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve was synthesized with hydrothermal method. The physicochemical properties of the composite were characterized by using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, N2 isothermal adsorption-desorption and NH3-TPD. Results of different characterizations indicated that the synthesized composite molecular sieve possessed the characteristics of both HMCM-49 and MCM-41. XRD and N2 isothermal adsorption-desorption revealed that it has both micropores and mesopores, a larger surface area than that of HMCM-49, NH3-TPD and pyridine adsorbed FT-IR revealed that the strong acidic sites that caused side reaction in HMCM-49 are deactivated in the composite molecular sieve of HMCM-49/MCM-41. When applied to the alkylation of phenol with isopropanol, the HMCM-49/MCM-41 composite molecular sieve exhibit an enhanced catalytic performance with significant enhancement in p-isopropylphenol and o-isopropylphenol selectivity, which can be ascribed to the composite characteristics of HMCM-49 and MCM-41. This kind of material will has widely industrial application in preparation of alkyl-phenol.

Novel Mg-bearing BEA zeolites are synthesized to simultaneously endow significantly enhanced basicity without compromising acidity over the zeolite framework. Serving as efficient solid acid–base bifunctional catalysts, they achieve the liquid-phase selective methylation of phenol with methanol to produce o- and p-cresol (o/p=2) under mild conditions. The method is readily extendable to the alkylation of phenols with various alcohols. Stereo- and regioselectivity (>95 % for p-product) was attained on the alkylation of phenol with bulky tert-butyl alcohol, rendering the first acid–base cooperative shape-selective catalysis relying on the basicity of zeolites. A preliminary mechanistic analysis reveals that the remarkable activity and shape-selectivity come from the superior special acidic–basic synergetic catalytic sites on the uniform microporous channels of the BEA zeolite.

Here, we have developed a simple, efficient, and metal-, ligand-, and base-free method for the synthesis of functionalized aryl and alicyclic alcohols via ozonolysis of corresponding boronic acids in aqueous ethanol. The procedure is compatible with a variety of functional groups and can be utilized as an alternative method for the synthesis of hydroxy arenes and alicyclic alcohols.
