This present work describes a preliminary study of modification of graphite felt for future applications in indirect electrolysis. The anodic oxidation of electroactive carboxylate compounds was achieved in aqueous media. The derivatization of the electrode was highlighted by cyclic voltammetry and XPS analyses. Interestingly, the grafting process led to chemically stable covalent attachment of nitroaryl species on the graphite felt with simultaneous increase of its real surface area. The comparison with the process performed in acetonitrile underlines the role of graphite oxidation in the immobilization of the molecules on the felt.

Catalytic antibody 7B9, which was elicited against p-nitrobenzyl phosphonate transition-state analogue (TSA) 1, hydrolyzes a wide range of p-nitrobenzyl monoesters and thus shows broad substrate tolerance. To reveal the molecular basis of this substrate tolerance, the 7B9 Fab fragment complexed with p-nitrobenzyl ethylphosphonate 2 was crystallized and the three-dimensional structure was determined. The crystal structure showed that the strongly antigenic p-nitrobenzyl moiety occupied a relatively shallow antigen-combining site and therefore the alkyl moiety was located outside the pocket. These results support the observed broad substrate tolerance of 7B9 and help rationalize how 7B9 can catalyze various p-nitrobenzyl ester derivatives. The crystal structure also showed that three amino acid residues (AsnH33, SerH95, and ArgL96) were placed in key positions to form hydrogen bonds with the phosphonate oxygens of the transitions-state analogue. In addition, the role of these amino acid residues was examined by site-directed mutagenesis to alanine: all mutants (AsnH33Ala, SerH95Ala, and ArgL96Ala) showed no detectable catalytic activity. Coupling the findings from our structural studies with these mutagenesis results clarified the structural basis of the observed broad substrate tolerance of antibody 7B9-catalyzed hydrolyses. Our findings provide new strategies for the generation of catalytic antibodies that accept a broad range of substrates, aiding their practical application in synthetic organic chemistry.

The Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H bond activation/C-N bond cleavage annulation reaction of N-alkyoxyamide aryne is developed to synthesize 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenone derivatives. This reaction exhibited good functional group compatibility with yields up to 92%. Detailed mechanistic studies showed that the key to C-N bond cleavage is the formed eight-membered palladacycle intermediate undergoing nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group, which provides a new and practical way for N-alkoxyamide directed C-H bond activation.
Disproportionation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions

Disproportionation of aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions often requires the application of high temperatures, equimolar or excess quantities of strong bases, and is mostly limited to the aldehydes with no CH2 or CH3 adjacent to the carbonyl group. Herein, we developed an efficient, mild, and multifunctional catalytic system consisting AlCl3/Et3N in CH2Cl2, that can selectively convert a wide range of not only aliphatic, but also aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, acids, and dimerized esters at room temperature, and in high yields, without formation of the side products that are generally observed. We have also shown that higher AlCl3 content favors the reaction towards Cannizzaro reaction, yet lower content favors Tishchenko reaction. Moreover, the presence of hydride donor alcohols in the reaction mixture completely directs the reaction towards the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction.
