In this study, a sulfonated Zr-terephthalate metal-organic framework (MOF) (UiO-66-SO3H) was prepared using two different methods: post-synthetic grafting onto the Zr open metal sites and direct solvothermal method using monosodium 2-sulfoterephthalate. Their catalytic activities for the acid-catalyzed Friedel- Crafts acylation of p-xylene with benzoyl chloride were compared. The physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of the functionalized MOF structure was found to be strongly dependent on the synthesis scheme. UiO-66-SO3H prepared by a direct solvothermal route exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability compared to that prepared by post-synthetic grafting.

Aluminosilicate and gallosilicate MTW zeolites were prepared in the bulk and nanosponge form by direct hydrothermal synthesis. Designed materials were tested in acylation of p-xylene with benzoyl chloride and compared with large pore zeolite *BEA and medium pore zeolite MFI. Nanosponge MTW exhibited generally better performance than bulk MTW zeolites due to higher accessibility of the catalyst′s active sites in nanosponge zeolite. Selective transformation of benzoyl chloride towards target 2,5-dimethylbenzophenone was achievable over nanosponge MTW zeolites. The gallosilicate nanosponge MTW exhibited significantly higher conversion (61%) of benzoyl chloride than its aluminosilicate counterpart (27%) with the same concentration of Br?nsted acid sites (0.04 mmol/g). This result is clearly caused by the suitable strength of acid centres in Ga-MTW, which enables the sufficient activation of BzCl molecules as well as efficient desorption of formed polar products. Additionally, the gallosilicate MTW outperformed both conventional zeolites *BEA and MFI used as reference materials.
A palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization route to ketones: Via the oxidative coupling of arenes with carbon monoxide

We describe the development of a new palladium-catalyzed method to generate ketones via the oxidative coupling of two arenes and CO. This transformation is catalyzed by simple palladium salts, and is postulated to proceed via the conversion of arenes into high energy aroyl triflate electrophiles. Exploiting the latter can also allow the synthesis of unsymmetrical ketones from two different arenes.

An integrated photo-flow oxidative reaction (UV-FOR) platform approach is presented for the synthesis of phthalides. The current protocol is catalyst-free, and uses economical and abundant hydro-carbons and hydrocarbon derivatives such as benzoic acid, benzene, and xylene, as starting materials. The reaction is performed using oxygen as a green oxidant in a time- and labour-efficient manner. This integrated approach has been shown to be successful in making a UV-FOR platform suitable for the on-demand synthesis of phthalides and their further syntheses to 2-arylmethylbenzoic acids and arylogous Michael addition products under relatively mild conditions. The current protocol was further extended to the gram scale synthesis of an ischemic stroke-relevant active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), 3-N-butylphthalide (NBP), in a continuous flow process.
