We report an efficient Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction in alcoholic solvent, in which a low catalyst loading showed excellent performance for coupling aryl halides (I, Br, and Cl) with a broad set of amines, amides, ureas, and carbamates under mild conditions. Mechanistically speaking, in a protic and polar medium, extremely bulky biarylphosphine ligands interact with the dimeric precatalyst [Pd(π-(R)-allyl)Cl]2 to form the corresponding cationic complexes [Pd(π-(R)-allyl)(L)]Cl in situ and spontaneously. The resulting precatalyst further evolves under basic conditions into the corresponding L-Pd(0) catalyst, which is commonly employed for cross-coupling reactions. This mechanistic study highlights the prominent role of alcoholic solvents for the formation of the active catalyst.

A novel strategy involving a popping process and carbothermal reduction was developed to create a kind of stable nickel catalyst (Ni-NC). The popping process of the mixture being composed of carbon nitride (C3N4) and nickel nitrate decomposed the nickel nitrate into nickel (oxide) nanoparticles that afterwards functioned as catalyst to grow N-containing carbon nanotubes with carbon nitride as N-containing carbon source. Finally, the nickel catalyst possessed a special structure of nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes. This special structure is helpful to prevent nickel nanoparticles from being oxidized in air for months so that the catalyst exhibits high stability in air atmosphere. As a practical application, this encapsulated nickel catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability in one-pot cascade reaction involving nitro-reduction and reductive amination of nitroarenes.

A green and gram-scale strategy has been developed for the synthesis of Fe single atom/N,S-doped carbon catalyst (Fe20-SA@NSC) via the pyrolysis of polyaniline (PAN)-modified Fe,S-doped ZIFs, in which the synthesis of ZIFs can be accomplished in water at room temperature. The as-prepared catalyst exhibits superior activity in the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via a borrowing strategy under solvent-free conditions (TOF up to 13.9 h-1). Based on the HAADF-STEM and XAFS results, Fe in this material is dispersed as the single-atom Fe1-N4S1 site. According to the experimental and theoretical calculation results, the Fe1-N4S1 site displays a better borrowing hydrogen ability than other Fe sites owing to its higher electron density. In addition, this catalyst has excellent stability and recyclability, and no obvious loss in activity is observed after 7 runs.
