- Selective alcohol oxidation catalysed BY FeCl3 /novel glycine functionalised IONIC liquid
-
An effective and eco-friendly technique were designated for quick alcohol oxidation by glycine functionalised imidazolium ionic liquids in presence of FeCl3 at ambient-temperature. No over the primary alcohols oxidation to carbonyl compounds was observed in presence of this FeCl3/[Gmim]Cl. These benefits of the catalyst resulted mainly from the circumstance with alcohols-H2O2, and the Fe3+ was coordinated by the immobilized IL to permitted both reactants to access the active sites of the catalyst effectively. The catalyst recycled nine times without loss of activity.

- Solvent-free selective oxidation of alcohols with tert-butyl hydroperoxide catalyzed by palladium(II) isatin Schiff base complex supported into three-dimensional mesoporous silica KIT-6
-
In this work, the catalytic activity of a palladium(II) isatin Schiff base complex immobilized into mesoporous silica KIT-6 (Pd-isatin Schiff base@KIT-6) was studied for the oxidation of different alcohols with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP, 70% aqueous solution) as an oxidant under solvent-free conditions. To find the suitable reaction conditions, the effect of essential factors including the solvent, temperature, catalyst amount and kind of oxidant on the oxidation of benzyl alcohol was explored. The results showed that in this catalytic system, the corresponding aldehydes and ketones were obtained with high to excellent yields at 50?°C without the formation of carboxylic acids as by-products. The catalyst was easily recovered by simple filtration and reused in five subsequent reaction cycles without any significant loss in the catalytic activity. Moreover, the comparison of the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) images of the used catalyst with a fresh one showed that the structure of the Pd-isatin Schiff base@KIT-6 catalyst remained intact after five times of reuse.

- Photocatalytic reduction of nitroaromatics into anilines using CeO2-TiO2 nanocomposite
-
The reduction of nitro compounds into amines is an important approach for synthetic and pharmaceutical chemistry. The reduced compounds are used as synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of therapeutic molecules. In the present work, we have fabricated cerium dioxide decorated TiO2 nanoparticles using a sol-gel-hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanocomposite was effectively reduced various nitro-compounds, specifically aromatic nitro compounds, into amines in visible light. All the nitro compounds screened in the photoreduction reaction showed >90% conversion with >96% selectivity. Chromatographic techniques confirmed the products obtained. The nanocomposite photocatalyst has excellent stability under the experimental condition and exhibited up to five cycles with no loss of metal content. The nanomaterials were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques.

-
The highly active Ni/Cu bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) of the different molar ratios of Ni and Cu (1:1, 1:3, 3:1) assisted by dendritic ligand 2,4,6-Tris (di-4-chlorobenzamido)-1,3-diazine were synthesized successfully confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron Diffraction X-ray (EDX), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. These NPs were studied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective oxidation of alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde at 30?min and chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro substituents to the corresponding amino substituents at 20?min, while the Ni/Cu (3:1) NPs were found to be the most effective among other Ni/Cu?(1:1)?and Ni/Cu?(1:3)?NPs at room temperature under mild conditions. The Ni/Cu (3:1) NPs can be recycled for at least five successive runs with no perceptible decrease in catalytic activity. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Synthesis of CoFe2O4@Pd/Activated carbon nanocomposite as a recoverable catalyst for the reduction of nitroarenes in water
-
Efficient reduction of nitro compounds into amines is an important industrial transformation. So, it is a great deal to design new catalysts for efficient reduction of the nitro compounds especially in water. In this work, a new magnetic Pd/activated carbon nanocomposite (CoFe2O4@Pd/AC) was synthesized via metal-impregnation-pyrolysis method. The CoFe2O4@Pd/AC was fully characterized by FT-IR, PXRD, FESEM, TEM, VSM, EDX-mapping and BET techniques. The results showed that CoFe2O4@Pd/AC is a highly reactive and easily recoverable magnetic catalyst for the reduction of the nitro compounds by using NaBH4 in water. For instance, aniline was obtained in high yield (99%) after 75 ?min at 25 ?C by using just 6 ?mg of the catalyst. In addition, CoFe2O4@Pd/AC was recovered by a simple magnetic decantation and it exhibits stable activity and remains intact during the catalytic process with no significant loss in activity (8 cycles).

- Magnetically‐recoverable Schiff base complex of Pd(II) immobilized on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aniline derivatives
-
Fe3O4@SiO2/Schiff base/Pd(II) is reported as a magnetically recoverable heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). In this regard, a small amount of the nanocatalyst (0.52?mol% Pd) and hydrazine hydrate, showing safe characteristics and perfect ability as the hydrogen donor, were added to the nitro substrates. The experiments described the successful reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalyst, due to its magnetic property, could be simply separated from the reaction mixture by a permanent magnet and reused in seven consecutive reactions without considerable loss in its activity. Moreover, the leaching of Pd was only 3.6% after the seventh run. Thus, the most striking feature of this method is to use a small amount of the magnetic nanocatalyst along with a cheap and safe hydrogen source to produce the important amine substances selectively, which makes the method economical, cheap, environmentally friendly, and simple.

The direct hydrogenation reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines with non-noble metals is an attractive area. Herein, the pyrolysis of Co(2-methylimidazole)2 metal-organic framework successfully produces a magnetic Co-N/C nanocomposite, which exhibits a porous structure with a high specific area and uniform Co nanoparticle distribution in nitrogen-doped graphite. In addition, the Co-N/C catalysts possess high cobalt content (23%) with highly active β-Co as the main existing form and high nitrogen content (3%). These interesting characteristics endow the Co-N/C nanocomposite with excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction of nitro compounds under mild conditions. In addition, the obtained Co-N/C nanocomposites possess a broad substrate scope and good cycle stability for the reduction of halogen-substituted or carbonyl substituted phenyl nitrates.

- Silver nanoparticles supported on P, Se-codoped g-C3N4 nanosheet as a novel heterogeneous catalyst for reduction of nitroaromatics to their corresponding amines
-
P, Se-codoped g-C3N4 (PSeCN) nanosheet was in situ prepared by facile thermal polymerization of melamine, phosphonitrilic chloride trimer, and selenium black powder as the precursors. It was found as a suitable support for the immobilization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The prepared nanocatalyst was fully characterized via standard analysis methods including EDX, ICP-OES, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and BET. This PSeCN/Ag nanocatalyst with a higher specific surface area compared with CN, showed excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of several nitroaromatic compounds using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in short reaction times with high efficiency and good selectivity in water as a green solvent. Significantly, the above-mentioned nanocomposite could be reused six times without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.

- Aluminum Metal-Organic Framework-Ligated Single-Site Nickel(II)-Hydride for Heterogeneous Chemoselective Catalysis
-
The development of chemoselective and heterogeneous earth-abundant metal catalysts is essential for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. We report a highly efficient, chemoselective, and reusable single-site nickel(II) hydride catalyst based on robust and porous aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (DUT-5) for hydrogenation of nitro and nitrile compounds to the corresponding amines and hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers under mild conditions. The nickel-hydride catalyst was prepared by the metalation of aluminum hydroxide secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 having the formula of Al(μ2-OH)(bpdc) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) with NiBr2 followed by a reaction with NaEt3BH. DUT-5-NiH has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance in the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitro and nitrile compounds under 1 bar H2 and could be recycled and reused at least 10 times. By changing the reaction conditions of the hydrogenation of nitriles, symmetric or unsymmetric secondary amines were also afforded selectively. The experimental and computational studies suggested reversible nitrile coordination to nickel followed by 1,2-insertion of coordinated nitrile into the nickel-hydride bond occurring in the turnover-limiting step. In addition, DUT-5-NiH is also an active catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenolysis of carbon-oxygen bonds in aryl ethers to afford hydrocarbons under atmospheric hydrogen in the absence of any base, which is important for the generation of fuels from biomass. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for practical and eco-friendly production of chemical feedstocks and biofuels.

- Core-shell Co-MOF-74@Mn-MOF-74 catalysts with Controllable shell thickness and their enhanced catalytic activity for toluene oxidation
-
A series of core-shell Co-MOF-74@Mn-MOF-74 samples with different shell thicknesses were prepared by the seed growth method, which were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The shell thickness of these MOF samples were successfully controlled by adjusting the mass ratio between MnCl2·4H2O and Co-MOF-74. On this basis, these MOFs were applied to the catalytic oxidation of toluene. The results showed that with the growth of Mn-MOF-74 in the outer layer of Co-MOF-74, the oxidative selectivity of the substrate to benzaldehyde was greatly improved for the synergy between the core layer and shell layer. The conversion of toluene was 22.4%, and the selectivity of benzaldehyde was 98.1%. In addition, the catalyst can transform various substituted toluene into the corresponding aldehydes in highly selectivity and still keep good stability after four catalytic cycles. The selectivity of the corresponding aldehyde is generally above 80%.

- Atomically Dispersed Co Catalyst for Efficient Hydrodeoxygenation of Lignin-Derived Species and Hydrogenation of Nitroaromatics
-
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted much attention due to their outstanding catalytic performance in heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we report a template sacrificial method to fabricate an atomically dispersed Co catalyst; three kinds of silica templates with different microstructures (MCM-41, SBA-15, and FDU-12) were employed and the effect of pore structure of the templates on the dispersity of Co was investigated. The catalysts fabricated with different templates presented different Co dispersities, leading to distinguishing catalytic performance. The optimized Co1?NC-(SBA) catalyst with atomically dispersed Co displayed outstanding catalytic activity for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived species as well as the hydrogenation of various nitroaromatics. The reaction mechanism of the HDO of vanillin was investigated by using density functional theory calculations as well.

- Cobalt oxide NPs immobilized on environmentally benign biological macromolecule-derived N-doped mesoporous carbon as an efficient catalyst for hydrogenation of nitroarenes
-
Highly nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (N-mC) material incorporated cobalt oxide nanoparticles was synthesized through simple pyrolysis of environmentally friendly chitosan-polyaniline-Co(OAc)2 precursor in one-step. The as-prepared catalyst named CoO&at;N-mC with 14.65 ?wtpercent nitrogen content was characterized by different analysis techniques. The heterogeneous catalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity for the reduction of a variety of nitroaromatic compounds in the presence of NaBH4 as a reducing agent in water as a green solvent at 75 ?°C. Utilization of natural biological macromolecules such as chitosan as green and cheap starting material with harmless aniline and earth-abundant cobalt salt, facile synthesis, excellent product yield, short reaction time, high chemoselectivity, sustainable and mild reaction condition, and reusability of catalyst for at least five cycles without any significant decline in the catalytic efficiency are some prominent merits of this new nanocatalyst.

- Ultrasound-assisted diversion of nitrobenzene derivatives to their aniline equivalents through a heterogeneous magnetic Ag/Fe3O4-IT nanocomposite catalyst
-
A heterogeneous magnetic catalytic system is fabricated and suitably applied for the fast and direct conversion of nitrobenzene (NB) derivatives to their aniline forms. For this purpose, different conditions and methods have been checked with numerous catalytic amounts of the nanocatalyst composite, which was constructed of iron oxide and silver nanoparticles and possessed an isothiazolone organic structure. Herein, the mechanistic aspect of the catalytic functioning of this highly efficient nanocatalyst is highlighted and discussed. Firstly, a convenient preparation route assisted by ultrasonication for this metal and metal oxide nanocomposite is presented. Further, a fast and direct reduction strategy for NBs is investigated using ultrasound irradiation (50 kHz, 200 W L-1). As two great advantages of this catalyst, high magnetic property and excellent reusability are also mentioned. This report well reveals that a really convenient conversion of NBs to anilines can be achieved with a high yield during the rapid reaction time in presence of mild reaction conditions.

- Immobilized N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Palladium(II) Complex on Graphene Oxide as Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling and Reduction of Nitroarenes
-
Abstract: A new and efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-palladium(II) complex immobilized on graphene oxide (NHC-Pd@GO) has been successfully designed and synthesized. The prepared NHC-Pd@GO heterogeneous catalyst was fully characterized using a combination of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis (BET). This new air- and moisture-stable NHC-Pd@GO heterogeneous catalytic system was found to be a highly active catalyst in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling between phenylboronic acid and various aryl halides (bromides/chlorides/iodides) and in the reduction of nitroarenes. These organic transformations were best performed in an aqueous ethanol and aqueous methanol solvent system respectively with low catalyst loading under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, NHC-Pd@GO heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered easily and reused at least eleven times in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and nine times in reduction of nitroarenes without any considerable loss of its catalytic activity. The stability and good selectivity of the NHC-Pd@GO heterogeneous catalyst in recycling experiments signify that it could be useful for practical application in various organic transformations.

- Bio-waste chitosan-derived N-doped CNT-supported Ni nanoparticles for selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes
-
In this study, a facile method for the synthesis of leach proof and earth-abundant non-noble Ni nanoparticles on N-doped carbon nanotubes is reported. The catalyst was synthesized by an impregnation-carbonization method, wherein a Ni-chitosan complex upon carbonization in a 5% H2/N2 atmosphere at 800 °C yielded Ni-containing N-doped CNTs. Chitosan served as a single source of carbon and nitrogen, and the nanotube growth was facilitated by the in situ formed Ni nanoparticles. The nanocatalyst was thoroughly characterized by several techniques; elemental mapping by SEM and TEM analysis confirmed the uniform distribution of Ni nanoparticles on the surface of N-doped CNTs with an average size in the range of 10-15 nm. The catalyst efficiently reduced a variety of nitroarenes (>99%) into their corresponding amines at a moderate pressure (5 bar) and a comparatively lower temperature (80 °C). Furthermore, the easy recovery of the catalyst using an external magnetic field along with high activity and easy recyclability makes the protocol eco-friendly.

Sustainable development demands an environmentally friendly and efficient method for the hydrogenation of organic molecules, including the hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes. In this study, a highly active and selective metal–organic framework-supported palladium catalyst was prepared for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes. High selectivity (>99%) and excellent yield (98%) of aniline were realized after 2 hours in ethanol under hydrogen (1 atm) at room temperature. The reductions were successfully carried out in the presence of a wide range of other reducible functional groups. More importantly, the catalyst was very stable without the loss of its catalytic activity after five cycles.

- A novel class of selective CK2 inhibitors targeting its open hinge conformation
-
Protein kinase CK2 sustains cancer growth, especially in hematological malignancies. Its inhibitor SRPIN803, based on a 6-methylene-5-imino-1,3,4-thiadiazolopyrimidin-7-one scaffold, showed notable specificity. Our synthesis of the initially proposed SRPIN803 resulted in its constitutional isomer SRPIN803-revised, where the 2-cyano-2-propenamide group does not cyclise and fuse to the thiadiazole ring. Its crystallographic structure in complex with CK2α identifies the structural determinants of the reported specificity. SRPIN803-revised explores the CK2 open hinge conformation, extremely rare among kinases, also interacting with side chains from this region. Its optimization lead to the more potent compound 4, which inhibits endocellular CK2, significantly affects viability of tumour cells and shows remarkable selectivity on a panel of 320 kinases.

- Highly efficient one-pot multi-directional selective hydrogenation and N-alkylation catalyzed by Ru/LDH under mild conditions
-
Atomic economy, non-toxicity, harmlessness and multidirectional selectivity advocated by green chemistry have increasingly become a hot and difficult research topic. Herein, we present a highly efficient, one-pot tandem and easy-to-operate method through which we could directly produce a broad range of multi-directional selective hydrogenated amines or N-alkyl aliphatic amines using aromatic nitro compounds as raw materials. Ru/LDH with characteristics of layered mesoporous structure, well dispersed small Ru nanoparticles and LDH stabilization to the Ru NPs was employed as the catalyst. It is remarkable that multi-directional superb chemoselectivity to aromatic amines, alicyclic amines as well as N-alkyl aliphatic amines could be achieved with excellent catalytic activity and recyclability by tuning reaction conditions over 5wt%Ru/LDH-2. Additionally, this catalytic system also exhibited attractive activity and multi-directional chemoselectivity in the hydrogenation of quinoline and its derivatives with solvents of different polarity. Chemoselectivity to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives could reach as high as 95.6 %.

- Selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild conditions by the optimization of active sites in a well defined Co?NC catalyst
-
The catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds containing multiple functional groups into amino compounds with high conversion rates, selectivity, and stability under mild conditions is a great challenge. Herein, a well defined catalyst (Co?NC) is prepared through the pyrolysis of the Co-centered metal-organic framework (MOF) at the optimized temperature. The as-synthesized catalyst exhibits a high conversion rate and selectivity for the hydrogenation of 12 aromatic nitro compounds with different competing groups into desired amino compounds with hydrazine hydrate under mild conditions (80 °C, 30 min, and 1 atm). The catalyst also shows excellent stability and can be reused over 20 times without considerably losing its activity. It is found that the Co-Nx site is the main active site for catalytic hydrogenation, and the Mott-Schottky effect between the surface Co NPs and N-doped carbon can further promote the hydrogenation reaction. EXAFS, TEM, XPS, and Raman analyses confirm that cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) are properly encapsulated by the N-doped carbon matrix at the optimized temperature, and the Co species maintain a high spin state after the catalysis, which may be responsible for the high performance of Co?NC. This work demonstrates not only a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogenation under mild conditions, but also provides insight into the active sites in Co-based catalysts for hydrogenation.

- Cerium(IV) Carboxylate Photocatalyst for Catalytic Radical Formation from Carboxylic Acids: Decarboxylative Oxygenation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids and Lactonization of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids
-
We found that in situ generated cerium(IV) carboxylate generated by mixing the precursor Ce(OtBu)4 with the corresponding carboxylic acids served as efficient photocatalysts for the direct formation of carboxyl radicals from carboxylic acids under blue light-emitting diodes (blue LEDs) irradiation and air, resulting in catalytic decarboxylative oxygenation of aliphatic carboxylic acids to give C-O bond-forming products such as aldehydes and ketones. Control experiments revealed that hexanuclear Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters initially formed in the reaction mixture and the ligand-to-metal charge transfer nature of the Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters was responsible for the high catalytic performance to transform the carboxylate ligands to the carboxyl radical. In addition, the Ce(IV) carboxylate cluster catalyzed direct lactonization of 2-isopropylbenzoic acid to produce the corresponding peroxy lactone and ?3-lactone via intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT).

- Comparative Study of Homogeneous and Silica Immobilized N^N and N^O Palladium(II) Complexes as Catalysts for Hydrogenation of Alkenes, Alkynes and Functionalized Benzenes

Abstract: This work reports the use of homogeneous and silica immobilized palladium(II) complexes of ligands (2-phenyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)ethanol) (L1), (4-methyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)methyl)phenol) (L2), [L1-MCM-41] (L1im), and [L2-MCM-41] (L2im) as catalysts in molecular hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes and functionalized benzenes. The homogeneous complexes [Pd(L1)2] (Pd1), [Pd(L2)2] (Pd2), [Pd(L1)(Cl2)] (Pd3),?and [Pd(L2)(Cl2)] (Pd4), and their respective silica immobilized?complexes [Pd(L1)2]-MCM-41] (Pd1im), [Pd(L2)2)-MCM-4] (Pd2im), [Pd (L1)(Cl2)-MCM-41] (Pd3im) and [Pd(L2)(Cl2)]-MCM-41] (Pd4im) formed active catalysts in?the molecular hydrogenation of these substrates. The catalytic activities and product distribution in these reactions were largely dictated by the nature of the substrate. The kinetic studies revealed a pseudo-first order dependence on styrene substrate for both the homogeneous and immobilized catalysts. Significantly, the selectivity of both homogeneous and immobilized catalysts were comparable in the hydrogenation of both?alkynes and multi-functionalized benzenes. The supported catalysts could be recycled up to four times with minimum loss of catalytic activity and showed absence of any leaching from hot filtration experiments. Kinetics and poisoning studies established that complexes Pd1–Pd4 were largely homogeneous in nature, while the immobilized complexes Pd1im–Pd4im formed Pd(0) nanoparticles as the main active species.

- Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohols by Polymer Supported V(IV) Complex Using O2
-
Polymer supported and unsupported oxovanadium(IV) complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, electronic, IR, ESR spectral studies, LC–MS and thermogravimetric analysis. Based on the results, an octahedral geometry was intended around V(IV) complexes. Polymer-anchored V(IV) complex catalyzed the oxidation of benzyl alcohols in acetonitrile with O2 as an oxidant. Several parameters were differed to optimize the reaction conditions. Under the optimized reaction conditions, benzyl alcohol oxidation confirmed 96% conversion with 100% selectivity towards benzaldehyde. The developed catalyst revealed excellent benzyl alcohol oxidation at moderate temperature in presence of oxygen making the reaction simpler and environmentally benign. The polymer anchored V(IV) complex showed excellent recyclability as compared to its unsupported analogue. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Hydrogenation of Functionalized Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Single-Phase Pyrite FeS2 Nanoparticles on N,S-Codoped Porous Carbon
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes is an industrially very important and environmentally friendly process for the production of anilines; however, highly chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes decorated with one or more reducible groups in a nitroarene molecule remains a challenge. Herein, a novel hybrid non-noble iron-based nanocatalyst (named as FeS2/NSC) was developed, which was prepared from biomass as C and N source together with inexpensive Fe(NO3)3 as Fe source through high-temperature pyrolysis in a straightforward and cost-effective procedure. Comprehensive characterization revealed that single-phase pyrite FeS2 nanoparticles with precisely defined composition and uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on N,S-codoped porous carbon with large specific surface area, hierarchical porous channels, and high pore volume. The resultant catalyst FeS2/NSC demonstrated good catalytic activity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with good tolerance of various functional groups in water as a sustainable and green solvent. Compared with bulk pyrite FeS2 and other non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, a remarkably enhanced activity was observed under mild reaction conditions. More importantly, FeS2/NSC displayed exclusive chemoselectivity for the reduction of nitro groups for nitroarenes bearing varying readily reducible groups.

- The immobilized Ni(II)-thiourea complex on silica-layered copper ferrite: A novel and reusable nanocatalyst for one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes
-
In this study, magnetically nanoparticles of CuFe2O4@SiO2@PTMS@Tu@Ni(II) as novel and reusable catalyst were prepared. Synthesis of the Ni (II)-nanocatalyst was carried out through the complexation of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O with the immobilized thiourea on silica-layered CuFe2O4. The prepared nanocomposite system was then characterized using SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, ICP-OES, Raman, UV–Vis and FT-IR analyses. Catalytic activity of the Ni(II)-CuFe2O4 system was investigated towards rapid reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride as well as one-pot reductive-acetylation of nitroarenes to acetanilides with NaBH4/Ac2O system without the isolation of intermediate arylamines. All reactions were carried out in H2O within 3–7?min to afford the products arylamines/acetanilides in high to excellent yields. Reusability of the Ni(II)-nanocatalyst was examined for seven consecutive cycles without the significant loss of the catalytic activity.

- Diruthenium complex catalyzed reduction of nitroarenes-investigation of reaction pathway
-
A diruthenium complex, [(L)Ru2(η6-C6H6)2Cl2](PF6)2 (1) (L = 5-phenyl-2,8-di-2-pyridinylanthyridine), was prepared and characterized. This diruthenium complex 1 was found to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds leading to the corresponding aniline derivatives with the use of hydrazine as the reducing agent at 80 °C in an ethanol solution. Catalytic activity of 1 towards various possible intermediates leading to anilines was investigated to understand the reaction pathway. These studies indicate that this reduction proceeds via a direct route as evidenced by hydroxylamines being observed as the major intermediate followed by the appearance of aniline under the catalytic conditions. Thus, the reaction pathway of this catalytic system is discussed.

-
The invention belongs to the technical field of fine chemical engineering. The invention relates to a preparation method and application of an adjustable metal organic cage compound for efficient selective catalytic reduction of nitrobenzaldehyde. According to the preparation method, M in a transition metal salt is used as a node and L is used as a ligand for reaction to prepare the metal organic cage compound, and the synthetic route is as follows: M + L- to M-L; wherein the ligand L is selected from H2FPB; the transition metal salt is selected from one of ferrous perchlorate, cobalttetrafluoroborate, nickel perchlorate or zinc tetrafluoroborate. The metal organic cage compound prepared by the method is low in raw material price and high in yield, and the obtained compound is stable in chemical property and easy to put into practical application. As a target compound M-FPB, the adjustable metal organic cage compound shows that the selectivity of the compound M-FPB can reach 99% in the aspects of reduction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to prepare p-nitrobenzyl alcohol, one-step synthesis of cinnarizine by reduction catalysis of cinnamyl aldehyde and reduction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to prepare p-aminobenzaldehyde.

- Magnetically recoverable graphene oxide supported Co@Fe3O4/L-dopa for C-C cross-coupling and oxidation reactions in aqueous medium
-
We report the synthesis of inexpensive and environmentally benign cobalt(0) nanoparticles on L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) functionalized and magnetite (Fe3O4) grafted graphene oxide (Co@GO/Fe3O4/L-dopa) which was fully characterized with different techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen (CHN) analysis, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Graphene oxide was used as the core material due to its mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. In order to avoid the cumbersome process of separation, magnetite nanoparticles were coated over the graphene oxide. After the successful preparation of graphene oxide based magnetic nanoparticles, L-dopa was grafted over Fe3O4 nanoparticles so as to provide firm anchoring agent for cobalt nanoparticles. Finally, cobalt(0) nanoparticles were immobilized on the developed magnetic support. The catalytic efficiency of the synthesized catalyst was tested for Suzuki cross-coupling and oxidation reactions, usually carried out by precious and expensive second and third row transition metals; products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The synthesized catalyst represents an attractive alternative to conventional catalysts for Suzuki cross-coupling and oxidation reactions, and is recyclable up to five runs.

- Coenzyme A-Conjugated Cinnamic Acids – Enzymatic Synthesis of a CoA-Ester Library and Application in Biocatalytic Cascades to Vanillin Derivatives
-
We present a bioorthogonal method for the ligation of coenzyme A (CoA) with cinnamic acids. The reaction, which is the initial step in the biosynthesis of a multitude of bioactive secondary metabolites, is catalyzed by a promiscuous plant ligase and yields CoA conjugates with different functionalization in high purity and without formation of by-products. Its applicability in biosynthetic cascades is shown for the direct transformation of cinnamic acids into natural benzaldehydes (like vanillin) or artificial derivatives (e. g. ethylvanillin).

- Defect-mediated selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes on nanostructured WS2
-
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are well known catalysts as both bulk and nanoscale materials. Two-dimensional (2-D) TMDs, which contain single- and few-layer nanosheets, are increasingly studied as catalytic materials because of their unique thickness-dependent properties and high surface areas. Here, colloidal 2H-WS2 nanostructures are used as a model 2-D TMD system to understand how high catalytic activity and selectivity can be achieved for useful organic transformations. Free-standing, colloidal 2H-WS2 nanostructures containing few-layer nanosheets are shown to catalyze the selective hydrogenation of a broad scope of substituted nitroarenes to their corresponding aniline derivatives in the presence of other reducible functional groups. Microscopic and computational studies reveal the important roles of sulfur vacancy-rich basal planes and tungsten-terminated edges, which are more abundant in nanostructured 2-D materials than in their bulk counterparts, in enabling the functional group selectivity. At tungsten-terminated edges and on regions of the basal planes having high concentrations of sulfur vacancies, vertical adsorption of the nitroarene is favored, thus facilitating hydrogen transfer exclusively to the nitro group due to geometric effects. At lower sulfur vacancy concentrations on the basal planes, parallel adsorption of the nitroarene is favored, and the nitro group is selectively hydrogenated due to a lower kinetic barrier. These mechanistic insights reveal how the various defect structures and configurations on 2-D TMD nanostructures facilitate functional group selectivity through distinct mechanisms that depend upon the adsorption geometry, which may have important implications for the design of new and enhanced 2-D catalytic materials across a potentially broad scope of reactions.

- Metal-Organic Capsules with NADH Mimics as Switchable Selectivity Regulators for Photocatalytic Transfer Hydrogenation
-
Switchable selective hydrogenation among the groups in multifunctional compounds is challenging because selective hydrogenation is of great interest in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals as a result of the importance of key intermediates. Herein, we report a new approach to highly selectively (>99%) reducing C=X (X = O, N) over the thermodynamically more favorable nitro groups locating the substrate in a metal-organic capsule containing NADH active sites. Within the capsule, the NADH active sites reduce the double bonds via a typical 2e- hydride transfer hydrogenation, and the formed excited-state NAD+ mimics oxidize the reductant via two consecutive 1e- processes to regenerate the NADH active sites under illumination. Outside the capsule, nitro groups are highly selectively reduced through a typical 1e- hydrogenation. By combining photoinduced 1e- transfer regeneration outside the cage, both 1e- and 2e- hydrogenation can be switched controllably by varying the concentrations of the substrates and the redox potential of electron donors. This promising alternative approach, which could proceed under mild reaction conditions and use easy-to-handle hydrogen donors with enhanced high selectivity toward different groups, is based on the localization and differentiation of the 2e- and 1e- hydrogenation pathways inside and outside the capsules, provides a deep comprehension of photocatalytic microscopic reaction processes, and will allow the design and optimization of catalysts. We demonstrate the advantage of this method over typical hydrogenation that involves specific activation via well-modified catalytic sites and present results on the high, well-controlled, and switchable selectivity for the hydrogenation of a variety of substituted and bifunctional aldehydes, ketones, and imines.

- Facile Synthesis of Small Gold Nanoparticles Stabilized by Carbon Nanospheres for Selective Hydrogenation of 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde
-
We report the facile synthesis of small gold nanoparticles stabilized by carbon nanospheres (Au@C) for highly active and selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. The formation of such a Au@C unique structure can be attributed to the high distribution of Au(III) species in the melamine-formaldehyde resin nanospheres, which were formed via the coordination of Au(III) with the abundant imino groups of melamine-formaldehyde pre-polymer. After the subsequent condensation and confined in situ reduction, small gold nanoparticles, and carbon nanospheres were formed simultaneously. Under the reaction conditions of 80 °C and 1.6 MPa, 99.3% conversion and >99% selectivity were achieved for the hydrogenation of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde to 4-aminobenzaldehyde.

- Chemo-selective reduction of nitro and nitrile compounds using Ni nanoparticles immobilized on hyperbranched polymer-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles
-
The nitro and nitrile groups in aromatic and aliphatic compounds containing various reducible substituents such as carboxylic acid, ketone, aldehyde and halogen are selectively reduced to the corresponding amines in water as a green solvent with excellent yields by employing NaBH4 in the presence of Fe3O4@PAMAM/Ni(0)-b-PEG nanocatalyst. The morphology and structural features of the catalyst were characterized using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The designed catalyst system because of it being covered with hydrophilic polymers is soluble in a wide range of solvents (e.g. water and ethanol) and suitable for immobilizing and stabilizing Ni nanoparticles in aqueous mediums. In addition, the catalyst can be easily recovered from a reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field and can be reused up to six runs without significant loss of activity.

- Simple and Practical Synthesis of Various New Nickel Boride-Based Nanocomposites and their Applications for the Green and Expeditious Reduction of Nitroarenes to Arylamines under Wet-Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Grinding
-
In this paper, we report a simple synthesis of four new nickel boride-based nanocomposites, namely Ni2B@ZrCl4, Ni2B@Cu2O, Ni2B@CuCl2 and Ni2B@FeCl3, from commercially available and cheap starting materials. All of the new Ni2B-based nanocomposites were well characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Further, the catalytic applications of these new nanocomposites were successfully evaluated in the wet-solvent-free reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to arylamines with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at room temperature by a mechanochemical grinding technique. All the introduced catalytic systems provide excellent yields of arylamines in very short reaction times for a wide range of substrates. Also, recoverability and reusability of the new nanocomposites were investigated.

- Synthesis of six 8-quinolinate-based ruthenium complexes with high catalytic activity for nitroarene reduction
-
Six ruthenium complexes were synthesized by treating different 2-substituted 8-hydroxyquinolinate ligands with [Ru(p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2. Their structures were fully characterized by a variety of techniques, including 1H and 13C NMR spectra, elemental analyses and infrared spectrometry. Additionally, single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that these ruthenium complexes possess similar half-sandwich structures. The mononuclear ruthenium building units are further linked into 1D or 2D supramolecular structures through non-covalent interactions, such as π?π stacking, hydrogen-bonding and C–H? halogen interactions. The catalytic activities of the six half-sandwich ruthenium complexes towards the hydrogenation of nitroarenes were explored under mild conditions. The ruthenium complexes displayed high catalytic activities in the synthesis of aromatic anilines from nitroarenes in the presence of NaBH4.

- The Direct Synthesis of Imines, Benzimidazoles and Quinoxalines from Nitroarenes and Carbonyl Compounds by Selective Nitroarene Hydrogenation Employing a Reusable Iron Catalyst
-
The “replacement” of noble metals by earth abundant metals is a desirable aim in catalysis and a possible way of conserving rare elements. The “replacement” is especially attractive if novel selectivity patterns are observed permitting the development of novel coupling reactions. Herein, we report on a novel, robust and reusable iron catalyst, which permits the selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes in the presence of hydrogenation-sensitive functional groups. Based on the selectivity pattern observed, the direct iron-catalyzed synthesis of imines and benzimidazoles from nitroarenes and aldehydes becomes feasible. In addition, we introduce the direct synthesis of quinoxalines from nitroarenes and diketones applying our catalyst.

- A new magnetically recyclable heterogeneous palladium(II) as a green catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and reduction of nitroarenes in aqueous medium at room temperature
-
In the current work, a new stable and powerful magnetic nanoparticle supported Schiff base-palladium(II) (MNPs@SB-Pd) nanomagnetic catalyst was synthesized. The structural feature of the MNPs@SB-Pd nanomagnetic catalyst was properly characterized using a combination of attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Visible), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET). The air- and moisture stable prepared MNPs@SB-Pd nanomagnetic catalyst was applied in C–C bond formation through Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and reduction of nitroarenes. Use of green medium, eco-friendly, waste-free, efficient preparation leading to high yield of products, short reaction time and cost effective catalyst are the major benefits of the method presented. In addition, the MNPs@SB-Pd nanomagnetic catalyst was easily separated from the reaction mixture with the help of an external magnetic field and reused for five consecutive cycles in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and ten consecutive cycles in reduction of nitroarene reactions with no significant loss of catalytic efficiency.
