We report sodium trihydroxyaryl borates as the first robust tetracoordinate organoboron catalysts for reductive functionalization of CO2. These catalysts, easily synthesized from condensing boronic acids with metal hydroxides, activate main group element-hydrogen (E-H) bonds efficiently. In contrast to BX3 type boranes, boronic acids and metal-BAr4 salts, under transition metal-free conditions, sodium trihydroxyaryl borates exhibit high reactivity of reductive N-formylation toward a variety of amines (106 examples), including those with functional groups such as ester, olefin, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, halogen, MeS-, ether groups, etc. The over-performance to catalyze formylation of challenging pyridyl amines affords a promising alternative method to the use of traditional formylation reagents. Mechanistic investigation supports electrostatic interactions as the key for Si/B-H activation, enabling alkali metal borates as versatile catalysts for hydroborylation, hydrosilylation, and reductive formylation/methylation of CO2.

Glycolic acid (GA), as important building block of biodegradable polymers, has been synthesized for the first time in excellent yields at room temperature by selective oxidation of 1,3-dihyroxyacetone (DHA) using a cheap supported Cu/Al2O3 catalyst with single active CuII species. By combining EPR spin-trapping and operando ATR-IR experiments, different mechanisms for the co-synthesis of GA, formates, and formamides have been derived, in which .OH radicals formed from H2O2 by a Fenton-like reaction play a key role.
Supported nano-gold-catalyzed N-formylation of amines with paraformaldehyde in water under ambient conditions

A simple and efficient Au/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by the co-precipitation method for the oxidative N-formylation of amines with paraformaldehyde. Under the optimized reaction conditions, excellent amine conversion and N-formamide selectivity can be obtained with up to 97% yield with water as the solvent under ambient conditions. This catalyst tolerated a wide range of primary amines and second amines, and it can be reused for at least five runs without obvious deactivation.
