The oxidation reactions of organic compounds are important transformations for the fine and bulk chemical industry. However, they usually involve the use of noble metal catalysts and suffer from toxic or environmental issues. Here, an efficient, environmentally friendly, and atomically dispersed Co catalyst (Co-N-C) was preparedviaa simple, porous MgO template and etching method using 1,10-phenanthroline as C and N sources, and CoCl2·6H2O as the metal source. The obtained Co-N-C catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the oxidation of silanes with 97% isolated yield of organosilanol under mild conditions (room temperature, H2O as an oxidant, 1.8 h), and good stability with 95% isolated yield after nine consecutive reactions. The turnover frequency (TOF) is as high as 381 h?1, exceeding those of most non-noble metal catalysts and some noble metal catalysts. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and wavelet transform (WT) spectroscopy corroborate the existence of atomically dispersed Co. The coordination numbers of Co affected by the pyrolysis temperature in Co-N-C-700, Co-N-C-800, and Co-N-C-900 are 4.1, 3.6, and 2.2, respectively. Owing to a higher Co-N3content, Co-N-C-800 shows more outstanding catalytic performance than Co-N-C-700 and Co-N-C-800. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Co-N3structure exhibits more activity compared with Co-N4and Co-N2, which is because the Co atom in Co-N3was bound with both H atom and Si atom, and it induced the longest Si-H bond.

Substantial effort is currently being devoted to obtaining photoredox catalysts with high redox power. Yet, it remains challenging to apply the currently established methods to the activation of bonds with high bond dissociation energy and to substrates with high reduction potentials. Herein, we introduce a novel photocatalytic strategy for the activation of inert substituted arenes for aryl borylation by using thiolate as a catalyst. This catalytic system exhibits strong reducing ability and engages non-activated Caryl–F, Caryl–X, Caryl–O, Caryl–N, and Caryl–S bonds in productive radical borylation reactions, thus expanding the available aryl radical precursor scope. Despite its high reducing power, the method has a broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance. Spectroscopic investigations and control experiments suggest the formation of a charge-transfer complex as the key step to activate the substrates.

An efficient copper-catalyzed addition of arylboronic esters to (Boc) 2O was developed. The reaction can be conducted under exceedingly mild conditions and is compatible with a variety of synthetically relevant functional groups. It therefore represents a useful alternative route for the synthesis of methyl arylcarboxylates. A preliminary mechanistic study indicated the involvement of an addition-elimination mechanism.
