Four-Component Fusion Protocol with NiO/ZrO₂ as a Robust Recyclable Catalyst for Novel 1,4-Dihydropyridines.

ABSTRACT: Nickel oxide loaded on zirconia (NiO/ZrO₂) as an expedient catalyst is reported for the synthesis of 18 unsymmetrical 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives. The Lewis acidic nature of the catalyst proved an excellent choice for the one-pot, four-component fusion reaction with excellent yields of 89-98% and a completion time of 20-45 min. Mechanistic studies show that enamine and imine functionalities are the two possible pathways for the formation of 1,4-dihydropyridines with high selectivity. Crystal structures of two novel compounds (5a, 5c) were reported. The catalyst demonstrated reusability up to six cycles. The reaction at room temperature and ethanol as a solvent make this protocol green and economical.

Ag?O on ZrO? as a Recyclable Catalyst for Multicomponent Synthesis of Indenopyrimidine Derivatives.

Project description:We describe the synthesis of silver loaded on zirconia and its use as an efficient catalyst for a one-pot three-component reaction to synthesize 11 indenopyrimidine derivatives, of which 7 are new compounds. The procedure involves substituted benzaldehydes, indane-1,3-dione, and guanidinium hydrochloride, with ethanol as solvent. The proposed green protocol at room temperature is simple and efficient, giving excellent yields (90?96%) in short reaction times (<30 min). The protocol works well according to the green chemistry principles with respect to high atom economy, no need for column separation, and reusability of the catalyst, which are attractive features. XRD, TEM, SEM, and BET analysis were used to characterize the catalyst materials.

Inverse ZrO2/Cu as a highly efficient methanol synthesis catalyst from CO2 hydrogenation.

Project description:Enhancing the intrinsic activity and space time yield of Cu based heterogeneous methanol synthesis catalysts through CO2 hydrogenation is one of the major topics in CO2 conversion into value-added liquid fuels and chemicals. Here we report inverse ZrO2/Cu catalysts with a tunable Zr/Cu ratio have been prepared via an oxalate co-precipitation method, showing excellent performance for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. Under optimal condition, the catalyst composed by 10% of ZrO2 supported over 90% of Cu exhibits the highest mass-specific methanol formation rate of 524 gMeOHkgcat-1h-1 at 220 °C, 3.3 times higher than the activity of traditional Cu/ZrO2 catalysts (159 gMeOHkgcat-1h-1). In situ XRD-PDF, XAFS and AP-XPS structural studies reveal that the inverse ZrO2/Cu catalysts are composed of islands of partially reduced 1-2 nm amorphous ZrO2 supported over metallic Cu particles. The ZrO2 islands are highly active for the CO2 activation. Meanwhile, an intermediate of formate adsorbed on the Cu at 1350 cm-1 is discovered by the in situ DRIFTS. This formate intermediate exhibits fast hydrogenation conversion to methoxy. The activation of CO2 and hydrogenation of all the surface oxygenate intermediates are significantly accelerated over the inverse ZrO2/Cu configuration, accounting for the excellent methanol formation activity observed.

b-Annulated 1,4-dihydropyridines as Notch inhibitors.

Project description:The Notch signaling pathway is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, and has been recognized as an active pathway in regenerating tissue and cancerous cells. Notch signaling inhibition is considered a viable approach to the treatment of a variety of conditions including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and metastatic melanoma. The discovery that the b-annulated dihydropyridine FLI-06 (1) is an inhibitor of the Notch pathway with an EC50???2.5??M prompted us to screen a library of related analogs. After structure activity studies were conducted, racemic compound 7 was identified with an EC50?=?0.36??M. Synthesis of individual enantiomers provided (+)-7 enantiomer with an EC50?=?0.13??M, or about 20-fold the potency of 1.

Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane: Superior Nb2O5-NiO/Ni-Foam Catalyst Tailored by Tuning Morphology of NiO-Precursors Grown on a Ni-Foam.

Project description:Large-scale shale gas exploitation greatly enriches ethane resources, making the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene quite fascinating, but the qualified catalyst with unique combination of enhanced activity/selectivity, enhanced heat transfer, and low pressure drop presents a grand challenge. Herein, a high-performance Nb2O5-NiO/Ni-foam catalyst engineered from nano- to macroscale for this reaction is tailored by finely tuning the performance-relevant Nb2O5-NiO interaction that is strongly dependent on NiO-precursor morphology. Three NiO-precursors of different morphologies (clump, rod, and nanosheet) were directly grown onto Ni-foam followed by Nb2O5 modification to obtain the catalyst products. Notably, the one from the NiO-precursor of nanosheet achieves the highest ethylene yield, in nature, because of markedly diminished unselective oxygen species due to enhanced interaction between Nb2O5 and NiO nanosheet. An advanced catalyst is developed by further thinning the NiO-precursor nanosheet, which achieves 60% conversion with 80% selectivity and is stable for at least 240 h.

Enhanced Ethylene Glycol Selectivity of CuO-La2O3/ZrO2 Catalyst: The Role of Calcination Temperatures.

Project description:The CuO-La2O3/ZrO2 catalysts calcined at different temperatures from 500 to 800 °C were studied for the hydrogenation of oxalates to ethylene glycol (EG). Along with the increase of calcination temperatures, the BET surface area, pore volume, and Cu dispersion decreased, whereas the crystallite sizes of Cu species increased. Interestingly, the superior performance such as a 98% selectivity of EG in dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation or a 96.5% selectivity of EG in diethyl oxalate hydrogenation was obtained over the catalyst calcined at 700 °C. Essentially, the surface synergism between Cu species and monoclinic ZrO2 was enhanced by the higher calcination temperature, resulting in the remarkable surface adsorption and activation of H2. Besides, the increase of calcination temperature significantly reduced the surface acidity and basicity, which could effectively suppress the byproduct formation.

Robust principal component analysis-based four-dimensional computed tomography.

Project description:The purpose of this paper for four-dimensional (4D) computed tomography (CT) is threefold. (1) A new spatiotemporal model is presented from the matrix perspective with the row dimension in space and the column dimension in time, namely the robust PCA (principal component analysis)-based 4D CT model. That is, instead of viewing the 4D object as a temporal collection of three-dimensional (3D) images and looking for local coherence in time or space independently, we perceive it as a mixture of low-rank matrix and sparse matrix to explore the maximum temporal coherence of the spatial structure among phases. Here the low-rank matrix corresponds to the 'background' or reference state, which is stationary over time or similar in structure; the sparse matrix stands for the 'motion' or time-varying component, e.g., heart motion in cardiac imaging, which is often either approximately sparse itself or can be sparsified in the proper basis. Besides 4D CT, this robust PCA-based 4D CT model should be applicable in other imaging problems for motion reduction or/and change detection with the least amount of data, such as multi-energy CT, cardiac MRI, and hyperspectral imaging. (2) A dynamic strategy for data acquisition, i.e. a temporally spiral scheme, is proposed that can potentially maintain similar reconstruction accuracy with far fewer projections of the data. The key point of this dynamic scheme is to reduce the total number of measurements, and hence the radiation dose, by acquiring complementary data in different phases while reducing redundant measurements of the common background structure. (3) An accurate, efficient, yet simple-to-implement algorithm based on the split Bregman method is developed for solving the model problem with sparse representation in tight frames.

A Facile and Catalyst-Free Microwave-Promoted Multicomponent Reaction for the Synthesis of Functionalised 1,4-Dihydropyridines With Superb Selectivity and Yields.

Project description:We report a highly efficient green protocol for developing a novel library of 1,2,4-triazole-tagged 1,4-dihydropyridine analogs through the one-pot process from the four-component fusion of the 1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-amine with different chosen aldehydes, diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and active methylene compounds in a water medium under microwave irradiation and catalyst-free conditions. Excellent yields (94-97%) of the target products were achieved with high selectivity with a short reaction time (<12 min) at room temperature. The structures of the synthesized pyrimidine analogs were established by NMR and HRMS spectroscopic analysis. Simple workup, impressive yields, no column chromatography, green solvent, rapid reaction, and excellent functional group tolerance are the benefits of this protocol.

Two-Dimensional Bi2WO6 Nanosheets as a Robust Catalyst toward Photocyclization.

Project description:The present work describes the improved photocatalytic activity of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted Bi2WO6 (CBTH) toward the synthesis of bioactive benzazoles. X-ray diffraction analysis of CBTH suggests that crystal growth has occurred along the (200) plane, whereas field-emission scanning electron microscopy images confirm two-dimensional rose bud morphology and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis suggests the formation of thin nanosheets possessing an orthorhombic structure. Temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and Py-IR measurements indicate substantial acidity with the generation of Brønsted acid sites on the surface of CBTH. Raman spectra of CBTH also corroborate these observations with the formation of defects within [Bi2O2]2+ layers, resulting in decreased thickness and shapes of nanoplates. These beneficial properties are explored toward the photochemical synthesis of benzazoles using a 35 W tungsten lamp and a CBTH photocatalyst, resulting in better yields at lesser exposure time. It is observed that the catalytic activity is retained up to five consecutive cycles with marginal decrease in % yield. Such a feature can be ascribed to the photostability of the photocatalyst even after continuous exposure to light, implying that the surface active sites remained unaltered as evident from the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of pre- and post-characterization of CBTH. Moreover, decrease in the surface hydroxyl groups after five catalytic cycles also accounts for the generation of enhanced Brønsted sites owing to the presence of Bi-O on the surface of CBTH. It exhibits better catalytic activity as compared to other photocatalysts employed for the synthesis of benzazoles. Thus, CBTH serves as a robust photocatalyst for the facile synthesis of these heterocycles in a sustainable manner.

Light-Controlled ZrO2 Surface Hydrophilicity.

Project description:In recent years many works are aimed at finding a method of controllable switching between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a surface. The hydrophilic surface state is generally determined by its energy. Change in the surface energy can be realized in several different ways. Here we report the ability to control the surface wettability of zirconium dioxide nano-coatings by changing the composition of actinic light. Such unique photoinduced hydrophilic behavior of ZrO2 surface is ascribed to the formation of different active surface states under photoexcitation in intrinsic and extrinsic ZrO2 absorption regions. The sequential effect of different actinic lights on the surface hydrophilicity of zirconia is found to be repeatable and reversibly switchable from a highly hydrophilic state to a more hydrophobic state. The observed light-controllable reversible and reproducible switching of hydrophilicity opens new possible ways for the application of ZrO2 based materials.

Recyclable Au/SiO2-Shell/Fe3O4-Core Catalyst for the Reduction of Nitro Aromatic Compounds in Aqueous Solution.

Project description:Highly stable gold nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of amine-functionalized nanocomposite microspheres possessing a magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticle core and a silica (SiO2) shell (Au/SiO2-shell/Fe3O4-core) were prepared. These gold nanocomposite catalysts were tested for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and 2-nitroaniline (2-NA) reduction in aqueous solution in the temperature range 293-323 K and in the presence of aqueous NaBH4 reducing agent. The magnetically recyclable gold catalyst showed high stability (∼3 months), efficient recyclability (up to 10 cycles), and high activity (∼100% conversion within 225 s, ∼700 ppm 4-NP or 2-NA). The pseudo-first-order apparent reaction rate constants (k) of 4-NP and 2-NA reduction were 7.5 × 10-3 and 4.1 × 10-3 s-1, respectively, and with an apparent catalytic activity of 4.48 × 10-8 kmol/(m3 s).
