Catalytic reductive cyclization of 2-nitrobiphenyls using phenyl formate as CO surrogate: A robust synthesis of 9H-carbazoles

Doaa R. Ramadan et al.

Summary: This paper describes a palladium/phenanthroline catalyzed reductive cyclization of o-nitrobiphenyls to 9H-carbazoles operated by in situ released CO. The presence of phenyl formate is essential to avoid the use of high-pressure equipment and allows the reaction to be performed in a single thick-walled glass tube. The selectivity of the reaction is influenced by the identity of the base catalyzing the formate decomposition, and the stability of the catalyst is affected by the presence of chloride anions. The optimized catalytic system exhibits excellent stability and tolerance to moisture and air, enabling the reaction to be conducted with low catalyst loadings.

Syngas Instead of Hydrogen Gas as a Reducing Agent-A Strategy To Improve the Selectivity and Efficiency of Organometallic Catalysts

Evgeniya Podyacheva et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the usage of syngas as a reducing agent can lead to more efficient and selective catalytic reduction reactions. Based on control experiments, a plausible mechanism for the superior performance of syngas is proposed. This approach is successfully applied to three reactions, achieving high catalyst turnover numbers and improved selectivity and functional group compatibility compared to hydrogen gas.

Efficient and selective approach to biomass-based amine by reductive amination of furfural using Ru catalyst

Hongtao Zou et al.

Summary: A powerful and practical approach to biomass-based amine, reductive amination of furfural (1a) to furfurylamine (2a), was developed using Ru catalyst (Ru/BNC) supported on boron/nitrogen co-doped carbon (BNC) with hydrous hydrazine (N2H4·H2O) as a nitrogen source and hydrazone as an intermediate. The Ru/BNC catalyst exhibited high efficiency and selectivity in promoting 1a/N2H4-to-2a transformation with a yield exceeding 99%.

Sodium Hypophosphite as a Bulk and Environmentally Friendly Reducing Agent in the Reductive Amination

Fedor Kliuev et al.

Summary: NaH2PO2 has been found to be an effective reducing agent in promoting reductive amination. It possesses characteristics of being nontoxic, stable, environmentally friendly, and readily available in large quantities, making it a potential competitor to classical reductants used in the target process. A low E factor of 1 was achieved for the substrate scope. Various carbonyl compounds reacted with amines under the developed conditions, demonstrating compatibility with a wide range of functional groups. The reaction conditions were successfully scaled up to 200-fold.

Mechanochemical Transformation of CF3 Group: Synthesis of Amides and Schiff Bases

Satenik Mkrtchyan et al.

Summary: In this study, two mild, solvent-free mechanochemical coupling transformations of CF3 group with nitro compounds were successfully demonstrated, leading to amides or Schiff bases. Ytterbia was used as a catalyst to facilitate the process, which involves C-F bond activation and the use of Si-based reductants/oxygen scavengers. This work represents the first example of utilizing mechanical energy to promote the transformation of the inert CF3 group into other functionalities.

Phosphorus coordinated Rh single-atom sites on nanodiamond as highly regioselective catalyst for hydroformylation of olefins

Peng Gao et al.

Summary: Single-atom Rh catalysts show superior activity in olefins hydroformylation but limited success in regioselectivity control. By developing a Rh1 single-atom catalyst with nanodiamond as support, the catalyst achieved good to excellent regioselectivities in hydroformylation of arylethylenes, comparable to homogeneous counterparts. The coordination interaction between Rh-1 and surface phosphorus species was clarified by P-31 solid-state NMR and X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) as a C1-building block for selective catalytic methylation

Akash Kaithal et al.

Summary: A catalytic reaction using syngas as feedstock for the selective beta-methylation of alcohols was developed, with carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas as key components. The complex molecular structure involving earth-abundant manganese enables the generation of formaldehyde from syngas. This new syngas conversion method provides a pathway for installing methyl branches at carbon centers and synthesizing biologically active compounds, fine chemicals, and advanced biofuels.
