Electrochemical Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of (sp3)C-C(sp3)/H Bonds in Alkylarenes

An electrochemistry-promoted oxidative cleavage of (sp3)C-C(sp3)/H bonds in alkylarenes was developed. Various aryl alkanes can be smoothly converted into ketones/aldehydes under aerobic conditions using a user-friendly undivided cell setup. The features of air as oxidant, scalability, and mild conditions make them attractive in synthetic organic chemistry.

Fe-S Catalyst Generated in Situ from Fe(III)- And S3?--Promoted Aerobic Oxidation of Terminal Alkenes

An iron-sulfur complex formed by the simple mixture of FeCl3 with S3?- generated in situ from K2S is developed and applied to selective aerobic oxidation of terminal alkenes. The reaction was carried out under an atmosphere of O2 (balloon) and could proceed on a gram scale, expanding the application of S3?- in organic synthesis. This study also encourages us to explore the application of an Fe-S catalyst in organic reactions.

Photo-induced oxidative cleavage of C-C double bonds for the synthesis of biaryl methanoneviaCeCl3catalysis

A Ce-catalyzed strategy is developed to produce biaryl methanonesviaphotooxidative cleavage of C-C double bonds at room temperature. This reaction is performed under air and demonstrates high activity as well as functional group tolerance. A synergistic Ce/ROH catalytic mechanism is also proposed based on the experimental observations. This protocol should be the first successful Ce-catalyzed photooxidation reaction of olefins with air as the oxidant, which would provide inspiration for the development of novel Ce-catalyzed photochemical synthesis processes.

Ruthenium-on-Carbon-Catalyzed Facile Solvent-Free Oxidation of Alcohols: Efficient Progress under Solid-Solid (Liquid)-Gas Conditions

A protocol for the ruthenium-on-carbon (Ru/C)-catalyzed solvent-free oxidation of alcohols, which proceeds efficiently under solid-solid (liquid)-gas conditions, was developed. Various primary and secondary alcohols were transformed to corresponding aldehydes and ketones in moderate to excellent isolated yields by simply stirring in the presence of 10% Ru/C under air or oxygen conditions. The solvent-free oxidation reactions proceeded efficiently regardless of the solid or liquid state of the substrates and reagents and could be applied to gram-scale synthesis without loss of the reaction efficiency. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Ru/C was maintained after five reuse cycles.

Fe Doped MIL-101/Graphene Nanohybrid for Photocatalytic Oxidation of Alcohols Under Visible-Light Irradiation

A novel photoactive porous material of GR/FeMIL-101 based on FeMIL-101 metal organic frameworks (MOFs) was successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. The structural and photoelectric properties of the GR/FeMIL-101 was analyzed by XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, XPS, UV–vis DRS, FT-IR, PL and EIS methods. The photocatalytic performance for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol with GR/FeMIL-101 as catalysts was evaluated under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the GR/FeMIL-101 nanohybrid had better photocatalytic performance than both of FeMIL-101 and the pristine MIL-101. It was further found that the incorporation of Fe and MIL-101 caused valence fluctuations of Fe3+/Fe2+ which improved the absorption of visible-light and increased the separation efficiency of photogenerated charges. In addition, the combination of FeMIL-101 and GR could further promote the transfer rate of the photoelectrons. The mechanism of the reaction revealed that ·O2? was the dominating active specie in this reaction through active species trapping experiments. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]Fe doped MIL-101/GR nanohybrid was successfully synthesized as an efficient photocatalyst for selective oxidation of alcohols under visible-light and shown a best conversion of 50%. Analyses revealed that Fe was successfully doped into the MIL-101, valence fluctuation of Fe2+/Fe3+ not only improved the visible-light absorption but also increased the separation rate of photoexcited carriers. Graphene further improved the transportation rate of electron (e-). Subsequently, the possible photocatalytic mechanism for the selective oxidation of alcohols was proposed. It was proved that superoxide radicals (·O2-) was the main active species when the reaction was performed under Oxygen atmosphere.

AIBN initiated functionalization of the benzylic sp3 C[sbnd]H and C[sbnd]C bonds in the presence of dioxygen

A sp3 C[sbnd]H bond functionalization and C[sbnd]C bond cleavage were realized by AIBN/O2 catalyst system, providing a series of benzophenones under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic study shows that a peroxide intermediate is involved in this transformation, and in the case of diphenylmethanes, the sp3 C[sbnd]C bond is cleaved through the peroxide rearrangement, which might provides a new way to cleave relatively strong C[sbnd]C bond and be applied to more general C[sbnd]C bond activation.

The Origin of Catalytic Benzylic C?H Oxidation over a Redox-Active Metal–Organic Framework

Selective oxidation of benzylic C?H compounds to ketones is important for the production of a wide range of fine chemicals, and is often achieved using toxic or precious metal catalysts. Herein, we report the efficient oxidation of benzylic C?H groups in a broad range of substrates under mild conditions over a robust metal–organic framework material, MFM-170, incorporating redox-active [Cu2II(O2CR)4] paddlewheel nodes. A comprehensive investigation employing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction has identified the critical role of the paddlewheel moiety in activating the oxidant tBuOOH (tert-butyl hydroperoxide) via partial reduction to [CuIICuI(O2CR)4] species.

Nitrosoarene-Catalyzed HFIP-Assisted Transformation of Arylmethyl Halides to Aromatic Carbonyls under Aerobic Conditions

A rare metal-free nucleophilic nitrosoarene catalysis accompanied by highly hydrogen-bond-donor (HBD) solvent, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), organocatalytically converts arylmethyl halides to aromatic carbonyls. This protocol offers an effective means to access a diverse array of aromatic carbonyls with good chemoselectivity under mild reaction conditions. The activation of arylmethyl halides by HFIP to generate stable carbocation and autoxidation of in situ generated hydroxylamine to nitrosoarene in the presence of atmospheric O2 are the keys to success.
