- Electron transfer within 1,3-dinitrobenzene radical anions: Electron hopping or superexchange?
-
The intramolecular electron transfer on several 1,3-dinitrobenzene radical anions with different substituents on position 5 was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance and optical spectroscopies in MeCN. The radical anions are all charge-localized mixed valence species, as is common for meta-substituted dinitrobenzenes. Rate constants for the electron transfer reaction were obtained by the Marcus-Hush analysis of the intervalence optical bands assuming quartic-augmented energy surfaces and solvent-controlled dynamics. These calculated rate constants match quite well the experimental ones obtained by simulation of the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, which rules out bridge-reduced states as intermediates in the reaction path and confirms the superexchange mechanism.

- Nitration of aromatics with dinitrogen pentoxide in a liquefied 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane medium
-
Regardless of the sustainable development path, today, there are highly demanded chemical productions still operating that bear environmental and technological risks inherited from the previous century. The fabrication of nitro compounds, and nitroarenes in particular, is traditionally associated with acidic wastes formed in nitration reactions exploiting mixed acids. However, nitroarenes are indispensable for industrial and military applications. We faced the challenge and developed a greener, safer, and yet effective method for the production of nitroaromatics. The proposed approach comprises the application of an eco-friendly nitrating agent, namely dinitrogen pentoxide (DNP), in the medium of liquefied 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (TFE) - one of the most non-hazardous Freons. Importantly, the used TFE is not emitted into the atmosphere but is effortlessly recondensed and returned into the process. DNP is obtainedviathe oxidation of dinitrogen tetroxide with ozone. The elaborated method is characterized by high yields of the targeted nitro arenes, mild reaction conditions, and minimal amount of easy-to-utilize wastes.

- Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Computational Analysis of Biaryl Side-Chain Analogs of Solithromycin
-
There is an urgent need for new antibiotics to mitigate the existential threat posed by antibiotic resistance. Within the ketolide class, solithromycin has emerged as one of the most promising candidates for further development. Crystallographic studies of bacterial ribosomes and ribosomal subunits complexed with solithromycin have shed light on the nature of molecular interactions (π-stacking and H-bonding) between from the biaryl side-chain of the drug and key residues in the 50S ribosomal subunit. We have designed and synthesized a library of solithromycin analogs to study their structure-activity relationships (SAR) in tandem with new computational studies. The biological activity of each analog was evaluated in terms of ribosomal affinity (Kd determined by fluorescence polarization), as well as minimum inhibitory concentration assays (MICs). Density functional theory (DFT) studies of a simple binding site model identify key H-bonding interactions that modulate the potency of solithromycin analogs.

- Exploiting a silver-bismuth hybrid material as heterogeneous noble metal catalyst for decarboxylations and decarboxylative deuterations of carboxylic acids under batch and continuous flow conditions
-
Herein, we report novel catalytic methodologies for protodecarboxylations and decarboxylative deuterations of carboxylic acids utilizing a silver-containing hybrid material as a heterogeneous noble metal catalyst. After an initial batch method development, a chemically intensified continuous flow process was established in a simple packed-bed system which enabled gram-scale protodecarboxlyations without detectable structural degradation of the catalyst. The scope and applicability of the batch and flow processes were demonstrated through decarboxylations of a diverse set of aromatic carboxylic acids. Catalytic decarboxylative deuterations were achieved on the basis of the reaction conditions developed for the protodecarboxylations using D2O as a readily available deuterium source.

- Photoinduced Iron-Catalyzed ipso-Nitration of Aryl Halides via Single-Electron Transfer
-
A photoinduced iron-catalyzed ipso-nitration of aryl halides with KNO2 has been developed, in which aryl iodides, bromides, and some of aryl chlorides are feasible. The mechanism investigations show that the in situ formed iron complex by FeSO4, KNO2, and 1,10-phenanthroline acts as the light-harvesting photocatalyst with a longer lifetime of the excited state, and the reaction undergoes a photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) process. This work represents an example for the photoinduced iron-catalyzed Ullmann-type couplings.

- Direct Stereoselective β-Arylation of Enol Ethers by a Decarboxylative Heck-Type Reaction
-
Despite remarkable advances to promote regio- and stereoselective decarboxylative arylation of inactivated olefins with benzoic acid derivatives, methodologies involving hetero-substituted alkenes are still lacking. Herein, PdII-catalyzed decarboxylative Heck coupling of α-alkoxyacrylates with (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids for the stereocontrolled production of (Z)-β-heteroarylated vinyl ethers is reported. This methodology offers a rational and step-economical route to the synthesis of attractive β-arylated α-alkoxy α,β-unsaturated carboxylates family which emerged as a relevant class of building blocks with different applications. Mechanistically, whereas electron rich benzoic acids undergo a PdII-catalyzed decarboxylation, electron-deficient substrates proceed through silver(I)-mediated decarboxylation, explaining thus the formation of stereoisomers (E) and (Z) of β-arylated vinyl ethers in presence of these latter.

- Divergent Late-Stage (Hetero)aryl C?H Amination by the Pyridinium Radical Cation
-
(Hetero)arylamines constitute some of the most prevalent functional molecules, especially as pharmaceuticals. However, structurally complex aromatics currently cannot be converted into arylamines, so instead, each product isomer must be assembled through a multistep synthesis from simpler building blocks. Herein, we describe a late-stage aryl C?H amination reaction for the synthesis of complex primary arylamines that other reactions cannot access directly. We show and rationalize through a mechanistic analysis the reasons for the wide substrate scope and the constitutional diversity of the reaction, which gives access to molecules that would not have been readily available otherwise.

- Mass production method of phenylenediamine from high purity dinitrobenzene
-
The present invention relates to a method for producing phenylenediamine using the high purity of dinitrobenzene, which may manufacture meta-phenylenediamine having a high yield since dinitrobenzene can be produced without aniline as a byproduct. Meta-phenylenediamine is manufactured based on a cost effective raw material by using a process as above without a separate purification process, thereby drastically reducing a manufacturing cost compared to an existing process. Therefore, stable reaction can be induced in a synthetic process, thereby easily and safely manufacturing meta-phenylenediamine.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020

- A Predictive Model for the Decarboxylation of Silver Benzoate Complexes Relevant to Decarboxylative Coupling Reactions
-
Decarboxylative coupling reactions offer an attractive route to generate functionalized arenes from simple and readily available carboxylic acid coupling partners, yet they are underutilized due to limitations in the scope of carboxylic acid coupling partner. Here we report that the field effect parameter (F) has a substantial influence on the rate of decarboxylation of well-defined silver benzoate complexes. This finding provides the opportunity to surpass current substrate limitations associated with decarboxylation and to enable widespread utilization of decarboxylative coupling reactions.

- Oxidation of Aniline to Nitrobenzene Catalysed by 1-Butyl-3-methyl imidazolium phosphotungstate Hybrid Material Using m-chloroperbenzoic Acid as an Oxidant
-
Abstract: Keggin ion based hybrid materials, [BmIm]3[PW12O40], [TBA]3PW12O40 and [BuPy]3PW12O40, were prepared by proton exchange with organic cations, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium ion, tetrabutylammonium ion and butylpyridinium ion, respectively. The formation of hybrid materials was confirmed by FTIR, PXRD, SEM, TG-DTA, DSC analysis. These hybrid compounds are active for oxidation of aniline using m-chloroperbenzoic acid as an oxidant. Among the three hybrid compounds, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium phosphotungstate was found to be the best and efficient catalyst for selective aniline oxidation to nitrobenzene. It is a recoverable and reusable catalytic system. The redox property of the phosphotungstate cluster in the hybrid material is involved in the catalytic activity.

- Organocatalytic oxidation of substituted anilines to azoxybenzenes and nitro compounds: Mechanistic studies excluding the involvement of a dioxirane intermediate
-
An organocatalytic and environmentally friendly approach for the selective oxidation of substituted anilines was developed. Utilizing a 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone-mediated oxidation process, substituted anilines can be transformed into azoxybenzenes, while a simple treatment with MeCN and H2O2 leads to the corresponding nitro compounds, providing user-friendly protocols that can be easily scaled up. Various substitution patterns and functional groups were tolerated leading to products in high to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies utilizing HRMS provide clear evidence for the distinct mechanistic intermediates that are involved. This study constitutes an indirect proof excluding the involvement of a dioxirane intermediate in the green organocatalytic oxidation, utilizing 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone as the catalyst.

- Base-Catalyzed Aryl-B(OH)2 Protodeboronation Revisited: From Concerted Proton Transfer to Liberation of a Transient Aryl Anion
-
Pioneering studies by Kuivila, published more than 50 years ago, suggested ipso protonation of the boronate as the mechanism for base-catalyzed protodeboronation of arylboronic acids. However, the study was limited to UV spectrophotometric analysis under acidic conditions, and the aqueous association constants (Ka) were estimated. By means of NMR, stopped-flow IR, and quenched-flow techniques, the kinetics of base-catalyzed protodeboronation of 30 different arylboronic acids has now been determined at pH > 13 in aqueous dioxane at 70 °C. Included in the study are all 20 isomers of C6HnF(5-n)B(OH)2 with half-lives spanning 9 orders of magnitude: a and Sδ values, kinetic isotope effects (2H, 10B, 13C), linear free-energy relationships, and density functional theory calculations, we have identified a mechanistic regime involving unimolecular heterolysis of the boronate competing with concerted ipso protonation/C-B cleavage. The relative Lewis acidities of arylboronic acids do not correlate with their protodeboronation rates, especially when ortho substituents are present. Notably, 3,5-dinitrophenylboronic acid is orders of magnitude more stable than tetra-and pentafluorophenylboronic acids but has a similar pKa.

It is anticipated that the reaction proceeds through in situ generation of NO2 and O-centred organoboronic acid radicals followed by the formation of an O-N bond via combination of the said radicals. Finally transfer of the NO2 group to the aryl moiety occurs through 1,3-aryl migration to provide the nitroarenes.

- H3PW12O40 synergized with MCM-41 for the catalytic nitration of benzene with NO2 to nitrobenzene
-
Developing a new environmentally friendly process for benzene nitration to nitrobenzene has been highly desirable for a long time. In this work, NO2 was used as a nitration agent to replace traditional nitric acid, and different mesoporous SiO2 and their supported heteropoly acid (salt) were employed to catalyze benzene nitration to nitrobenzene. Several typical catalysts were characterized using XRD, BET and FT-IR, and the acid amounts of the various catalysts were determined. The effects of various factors such as different catalysts, the molar ratio of benzene to NO2, reaction temperature, reaction time, HPW loading, the acid amounts of the catalyst and the reuse of the catalyst on the nitration reaction have also been systematically examined. The results indicate that the supported HPW/MCM-41 catalysts exhibit a remarkably synergistic catalytic performance on the nitration reaction of benzene to nitrobenzene. In particular, the 50%HPW/MCM-41 catalyst gives the best results with 73.4% benzene conversion and 98.8% selectivity to nitrobenzene under the optimal reaction conditions. Moreover, the mesoporous structure of MCM-41 was retained under the high loading of HPW. The possible reaction mechanism for the nitration reaction of benzene with NO2 over HPW/MCM-41 is suggested in the present work. This method provides a promising strategy for the preparation of nitro-aromatic compounds from a catalytic nitration reaction by using NO2 as the nitration reagent.

A convenient and modular synthesis involving diastereoselective Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was carried out to furnish 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles of Ludartin. This reaction scheme involving Michael addition followed by regioselective Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction leading to the formation of triazolyl analogs is being reported for the first time. All the triazolyl products were characterised using spectral data analysis. Sulphorhodamine B cytotoxicity screening of the resulting products against a panel of five human cancerous cell-lines revealed that few of the analogs display promising broad spectrum cytotoxic effect. Among all the synthesized compounds, only 3q displayed the best cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 12, 11, 38, 39 and 8.5 μM but less than the standard Ludartin (1) with IC50 values of 6.3, 7.4, 7.5, 6.9 and 0.5 μM against human neuroblastoma (T98G), lung (A-549), prostate (PC-3), colon (HCT-116) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, respectively. The present synthesis was designed based on the previous literature reports of Ludartin as an aromatase inhibitor. Our work provides an initial study on structure-activity relationship of triazolyl analogs of sesquiterpene lactones in general and Ludartin (1) in particular.

Mechanistic insights demonstrate that triflic acid is generated and that, at least, when two competing catalytic cycles are operating at the same time: a rapid one involving triflic acid and a slower one involving the bismuth triflate.

- Protodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids over heterogeneous silver catalysts
-
A heterogeneous supported Ag catalyst for the protodecarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids has been developed. Control of the metal particle size proved extremely important. The highest activity was achieved with a silver loading of 10 wt%, which had relatively big metal crystallites of 40 nm. It is inferred that the adsorption of the aromatic moiety requires terrace sites rather than edges or corners at the metal nanoparticle. The amphoteric support, γ-Al2O3, gave the most active catalysts. Oxygen coverage of the surface is essential for catalytic activity. A mechanism has been proposed with the critical steps (1) formation of a benzoyl anion by reaction with a base in the reaction medium, (2) binding of the anionic species at the Ag+ surface sites with (3) extrusion of CO2 and (4) proton transfer from another molecule of carboxylic acid, followed by desorption of the decarboxylated species and binding of the benzoate to the active site to complete the catalytic cycle. With 2-nitrobenzoic acid as substrate, the catalyst had a turnover frequency (TOF) of 216 h-1. The catalyst showed good activity for benzoic acid with nitro, methoxy and halogen substituents at the ortho-position as well as for heteroaromatic carboxylic acids. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- Competition between electron-donor and electron-acceptor substituents in nitrotoluene isomers: A photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio investigation
-
We present an investigation of the close relationship between chemical structure, physical properties and reactivity of the three nitrotoluene isomers: a joint experimental and theoretical study, based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements and ab initio calculations, addressing the complex interplay between the competing electron-donor and electron-acceptor effects of the nitro- and methyl-substituents on the chemical properties of the nitrotoluene isomers. As the main results of the investigation we: (i) point out that accurate ab initio calculations play a key role in the complete assignment of photoemission measurements, as well as in the estimate of proton affinities in the case of all the eligible sites; (ii) revisit, at a more quantitative level, textbook models based on inductive and resonant effects of different substituents of the aromatic ring, as well as on the hyper-conjugative connection of the methyl group to the π-conjugated system; (iii) provide an accurate analysis of correlation patterns between calculated proton affinities and core-ionization energies, which represent a powerful tool, capable of predicting site-specific reactivities of polysubstituted molecules in the case of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

- Recyclable nanoscale copper(I) catalysts in ionic liquid media for selective decarboxylative C-C bond cleavage
-
Here we report the synthesis and application of finely divided Cu 2O nanoparticles (Cu2O-NPs) in the range from 5.5 nm to 8.0 nm in phosphonium ionic liquids as the first recyclable and effective catalytic system for smooth, ligand- and additive-free protodecarboxylation of 2-nitrobenzoic acid as a model substrate and further derivatives. The reactions run with low catalyst loadings and result in quantitative yield in ten consecutive recycling experiments. In addition this system is highly selective towards electron-poor 2-nitrobenzoic acids.

- Copper MOF: Scope and limitation in catalytic hydroxylation and nitration of aryl halides
-
The potential catalytic application of MOFs like [Cu3(btc) 2] (btc=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), [Cu(bdc)] (bdc=1,4- benzenedicarboxylate), [Cu(pymo)2] (pymo=2-hydroxypyrimidinalote) and [Cu(im)2] (im=imidazolate) was explored in the hydroxylation and nitration of aryl halides. Cu3(btc)2 was found to be superior for both the reactions furnishing good to excellent yields of the respective products. The studies demonstrated that MOFs are not recyclable, attributable to their instability in the highly polar and basic conditions demanded for these reactions. Complete transformation of MOFs to copper oxide nanoparticles occurred in hydroxylation, whereas significant alteration in frameworks was observed for the recovered catalyst in nitration.

-
A series of Keggin heteropoly acid anion based amphiphilic salts supported by nano oxides were synthesized and used as catalysts in the nitration of aromatic compounds with HNO3. The reaction conditions in the nitration of toluene were optimized and both 92.6% conversion and good para selectivity (ortho:para = 1.09) were obtained.

- Preparation, catalytic performance and theoretical study of porous sulfated binary metal oxides shell (SO42 -/M1xO y-M2xOy) using pollen grain templates
-
Porous micro-sized particles of binary metal oxide (SO4 2 -/M1xOy-M2xOy) shell were prepared by template-directed synthesis method employing HCl-treated pollen grains. With 150 m2/g high surface area, these solid acids could provide more acid sites and thus obtain better catalytic activity. Using aromatic nitration as the typical reaction, their catalytic performances were evaluated and showed a significant improvement in both conversion and regioselectivity. Then, with chlorobenzene as substrate, theoretical studies were performed to investigate the interaction between transition metals and chlorobenzene. The results showed that the excellent para-selectivity was closely relative to the metal ion in these solid acids.

- An efficient and eco-friendly MoO3-SiO2 solid acid catalyst for electrophilic aromatic nitration with N2O5
-
Electrophilic aromatic nitration using N2O5 as a green nitrating agent catalyzed by MoO3-SiO2 under mild conditions has been described. A series of MoO3-SiO2 catalysts with varying MoO3 loadings (5-20 mol%) were prepared by sol-gel technique and characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM, BET and NH 3-TPD to study its surface properties. MoO3-SiO 2 shows good catalytic activity and reusability for the nitration of alkyl and halogen aromatics giving high conversions, but less efficiency for the deactivated aromatics. Reactions conducted under non-acidic conditions using N2O5 makes the process safe and environmentally friendly. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- The synthesis of non-symmetrical stilbene analogs of trans-resveratrol using the same Pd catalyst in a sequential double-Heck arylation of ethylene
-
We have developed a sequential and selective Pd-catalyzed double-Heck arylation of ethylene that results in non-symmetrical nitro-stilbene analogs of trans-resveratrol at excellent yields. A catalytic system consisting of Pd(OAc)2 and P(o-tolyl)3 permitted us to carry out the two consecutive Heck arylations without losing activity from the first to the second Heck reaction. After the first Heck arylation of ethylene, no isolation or additional catalyst loading is required for the second Heck arylation reaction. This protocol was applied to the synthesis of methylated trans-resveratrol, which was obtained at a 65% overall yield.

- Regioselectivity nitration of aromatics with N2O5 in PEG-based dicationic ionic liquid
-
Regioselective mononitration of simple aromatic compounds has been investigated with N2O5 as nitrating agent and a new PEG200-based dicationic acidic ionic liquid (PEG200-DAIL) as catalyst. The results of experiments show that this nitration system can significantly improve the para-selectivity of alkyl-benzenes and the ortho-selectivity of halogenated-benzenes. The PEG200-DAIL exhibits recyclable temperature-dependant phase behavior in CCl4 solvent, and it can be recycled without apparent loss of catalytic activity, and only 5% loss of weight is observed after six times recycling.

- Ethylammonium nitrate (EAN)/Tf2O and EAN/TFAA: Ionic liquid based systems for aromatic nitration
-
Acting as in situ sources of triflyl nitrate (TfONO2) and trifluoroacetyl nitrate (CF3COONO2), the EAN/Tf 2O and EAN/TFAA systems, generated via metathesis in the readily available ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) ionic liquid as solvent, are powerful electrophilic nitrating reagents for a wide variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Comparative nitration experiments indicate that EAN/Tf2O is superior to EAN/TFAA for nitration of strongly deactivated systems. Both systems exhibit low substrate selectivity (K T/KB = 5-10) in (Figure presented) between values reported for covalent nitrates and preformed nitronium salts.

- Regioselective nitration of deactivated mono-substituted benzenes using acyl nitrates over reusable acidic zeolite catalysts
-
Nitration of benzonitrile was investigated using a nitric acid/acid anhydride/zeolite catalyst system under different reaction conditions. Trifluoroacetic and chloroacetic anhydrides were found to be the most active among the anhydrides tried. Also, zeolites Hβ and Fe3+β (Si/ Al = 12.5) were found to be the most active catalysts. For example, nitration of benzonitrile with trifluoroacetyl nitrate under reflux conditions in dichloromethane gave 3- and 4-nitrobenzonitriles in quantitative yield, of which the para-isomer represented 24-28%. The yield of para-isomer was improved to 33% when passivated Hβ was used under similar reaction conditions. This is easily the most para-selective nitration of benzonitrile ever recorded. Also, no ortho-isomer was formed under the conditions tried. The zeolite can be easily recovered, regenerated by heating and reused up to six times to give results similar to those obtained with a fresh sample of the catalyst. The nitration system was applied successfully to a range of deactivated mono-substituted benzenes to give para-isomers in significantly higher proportions than in the corresponding traditional nitration reactions.

- Fast and efficient nitration of salicylic acid and some other aromatic compounds over H3PO4/TiO2-ZrO2 using nitric acid
-
TiO2-ZrO2 (1/1)-surf with Ti and Zr molar ratio of 1/1 was prepared with surfactant through a sol-gel method. The optimum experimental condition was investigated for nitration of salicylic acid. Then, a number of nitration reactions were carried out with a variety of aromatic compounds in the optimum condition. The 25 wt% H3PO4/TiO2-ZrO2 (1/1)-surf catalyst showed good selectivity and yield in a short time for the nitration of salicylic acid and some other aromatic compounds.

Aryl and heteroaryl hydrazines and hydrazides were successfully oxidised using CAN, deriving dehydrazinated products. The reaction pathway strongly depends on the nature of the substrate, resulting in the formation of hydrocarbons or alkoxy derivatives. When deuterated solvents such as methanol-d4 or acetonitrile-d3 were used, a regiospecific incorporation of deuterium was achieved. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
