High turnover in electro-oxidation of alcohols and ethers with a glassy carbon-supported phenanthroimidazole mediator

Glassy carbon electrodes covalently modified with a phenanthroimidazole mediator promote electrochemical alcohol and ether oxidation: three orders of magnitude increase in TON, to ～15 000 in each case, was observed compared with homogeneous mediated reactions. We propose the deactivation pathways in homogeneous solution are prevented by the immobilization: modified electrode reversibility is increased for a one-electron oxidation reaction. The modified electrodes were used to catalytically oxidize p-anisyl alcohol and 1-((benzyloxy)methyl)-4-methoxybenzene, selectively, to the corresponding benzaldehyde and benzyl ester, respectively.

Pd-Catalysed Decarbonylation Free Approach to Carbonylative Esterification of 5-HMF to Its Aryl Esters Synthesis Using Aryl Halides and Oxalic Acid as C1 Source

A decarbonylation free, polystyrene-supported, Pd (Pd@PS)-catalysed carbonylative esterification of the hydroxy group of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) to its corresponding aryl esters has been developed. The use of Pd@PS, oxalic acid as CO source, and aryl halides was first explored for the aryl ester of 5-HMF synthesis. Here, we investigated the vital role of a polystyrene support to avoid the commonly known decarbonylation of 5-HMF. The reaction exhibits vast substrate scope with comparably good yield and catalyst recyclability.

Iodine-catalyzed synthesis of β-uramino crotonic esters as well as oxidative esterification of carboxylic acids in choline chloride/urea: a desirable alternative to organic solvents

Abstract: Iodine-mediated selective synthesis of β-uramino crotonic esters was achieved via the reaction of β-dicarbonyls and urea at room temperature. Choline chloride/urea mixture, as an eco-friendly, cheap, non-toxic, and recyclable deep eutectic solvent (DES), was employed as sustainable media as well as reagent at the same time in these transformations. Some derivatives of β-uramino crotonic esters were synthesized with good to high yields without a tedious work-up. The process could be done to synthesize the above-mentioned compounds in gram scale. Moreover, oxidative cross-esterification of carboxylic acids with alkyl benzenes was carried out in the above-mentioned DES by the employment of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant at 80?°C. DES/TBAI system was reused up to five consecutive times. Graphic abstract: Iodine-catalyzed C–N and C–O bond formation in choline chloride/urea as a green solvent under the mild reaction conditions.
