supporting information, p. 4007 - 4016 (2017/08/29)
Aryl carbonyl compounds including acetophenones, benzophenones, imides, and benzoic acids are prepared from benzyl substrates using potassium persulfate as oxidant with catalytic pyridine in acetonitrile under mild conditions. Neither transition metals nor halogens are involved in the reactions.

Well-defined robust ruthenium(II) complexes 3a-d bearing o-aryloxide-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with different wingtip substituents (3a (R = Me), 3b (R = Ph), 3c (R = iPr) and 3d (R = Mes)) in the imidazole ring were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of imidazolium proligands with metal precursor [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] by transmetallation from the corresponding silver carbene complexes. All the Ru(II)-NHC complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods as well as ESI mass spectrometry. The molecular structure of the complex 3a was identified by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which revealed that the complexes possess a distorted octahedral geometry. In order to explore the catalytic potential of the synthesized complexes, all the four [Ru-NHC] complexes [3a-d] were tested as catalysts for transamidation of carboxamides with amines. Notably, the complex 3a was found to be very efficient and versatile catalyst toward transamidation of a wide range of amides with amines.
Dynamic path bifurcation in the Beckmann reaction: Support from kinetic analyses

The reactions of oximes to amides, known as the Beckmann rearrangement, may undergo fragmentation to form carbocations + nitriles when the migrating groups have reasonable stability as cations. The reactions of oxime sulfonates of 1-substituted-phenyl-2-propanone derivatives (7-X) and related substrates (8-X, 9a-X) in aqueous CH3CN gave both rearrangement products (amides) and fragmentation products (alcohols), the ratio of which depends on the system; the reactions of 7-X gave amides predominantly, whereas 9a-X yielded alcohols as the major product. The logk-logk plots between the systems gave excellent linear correlations with slopes of near unity. The results support the occurrence of path bifurcation after the rate-determining TS of the Beckmann rearrangement/fragmentation reaction, which has previously been proposed on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations. It was concluded that path-bifurcation phenomenon could be more common than thought and that a reactivity-selectivity argument based on the traditional TS theory may not always be applicable even to a well-known textbook organic reaction.
