Photoinduced Heterogeneous C?H Arylation by a Reusable Hybrid Copper Catalyst

Heterogeneous copper catalysis enabled photoinduced C?H arylations under exceedingly mild conditions at room temperature. The versatile hybrid copper catalyst provided step-economical access to arylated heteroarenes, terpenes and alkaloid natural products with various aryl halides. The hybrid copper catalyst could be reused without significant loss of catalytic efficacy. Detailed studies in terms of TEM, HRTEM and XPS analysis of the hybrid copper catalyst, among others, supported its outstanding stability and reusability.

Unified Protocol for Cobalt-Catalyzed Oxidative Assembly of Two Aryl Metal Reagents Using Oxygen as an Oxidant

The first cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reaction of two aryl metal reagents is described. An equivalent amount of two aryl Grignard or lithium reagents, after mediation by an equivalent amount of simple ClTi(OEt)3, was facilely assembled under the catalysis of 1 mol % of CoCl2/10 mol % of DMPU using oxygen. The cross-couplings between various aryl metal reagents, especially between two structurally similar aryl Grignard reagents, proceeded smoothly and selectively and, thus, provided a highly general and efficient method for the construction of biaryl compounds.

Gold nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide: An efficient catalyst for highly selective synthesis of benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles

A highly efficient and selective reaction for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles catalyzed by Au/TiO2 has been developed via two hydrogen-transfer processes. This reaction has a good tolerance to air and water, a wide substrate scope, and represents a new avenue for practical C-N and C-O bond formation. More importantly, no additional additives, oxidants and reductants are required for the reaction and the catalyst can be recovered and reused readily. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
