Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic reduction of amides and related compounds using molecular hydrogen.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic hydrogenation of amides is of great interest for chemists working in organic synthesis, as the resulting amines are widely featured in natural products, drugs, agrochemicals, dyes, etc. Compared to traditional reduction of amides using (over)stoichiometric reductants, the direct hydrogenation of amides using molecular hydrogen represents a greener approach. Furthermore, amide hydrogenation is a highly versatile transformation, since not only higher amines (obtained by C-O cleavage), but also lower amines and alcohols, or amino alcohols (obtained by C-N cleavage) can be selectively accessed by fine tuning of reaction conditions. This review describes the most recent advances in the area of amide hydrogenation using H2 exclusively and molecularly defined homogeneous as well as nano-structured heterogeneous catalysts, with a special focus on catalyst development and synthetic applications.

Homogeneous catalytic reduction of polyoxometalate by hydrogen gas with a hydrogenase model complex.

Project description:The homogeneous catalytic reduction of a polyoxometalate (POM) by hydrogen gas in aqueous media was investigated for the first time by using a [NiRu] hydrogenase model complex (I) under very mild conditions. By bubbling hydrogen gas into the buffer solution containing I and the Dawson-type POM (IIox), the color of the solution turned from pale yellow to dark blue, suggesting the reduction of IIox. The catalytic and kinetic studies revealed that I acted as an efficient catalyst to yield one-electron-reduced Dawson-type POM (IIred) with a low energy barrier for activating dihydrogen and reducing IIox via a hydride complex of I. The process for the one-electron reduction of IIox was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, controlled potential electrolysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. POM IIred could stably store protons and electrons and release them by addition of oxidants, demonstrating that POMs acted as redox active mediators for transporting protons and electrons from hydrogen gas to acceptors. The recycle study showed that IIox and IIred could be reduced and oxidized by hydrogen and oxygen gases, respectively, at least five times with >99% yield of reduced species, showing a durable system for extracting protons and electrons from hydrogen gas.

Heterogeneous Catalytic Oxidation of Amides to Imides by Manganese Oxides.

Project description:Herein, we report a one-step peroxide mediated heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of amides to imides utilizing a series of manganese oxides. Among them, Cs/Mn2O3 was found to be the most active catalyst for the selective partial oxidation of N-benzylbenzamide to diphenyl imide. We have been able to apply an optimized oxidation method to other aromatic substrates. The feasibility of using air as an oxidant, the heterogeneous nature, inexpensive catalytic materials, respectable turnover numbers, and chemoselectivity to imides make this methodology an attractive choice for functional group transformations of amides to imides.

Preparation of cyclic imides from alkene-tethered amides: application of homogeneous Cu(ii) catalytic systems.

Project description:A Cu-based homogeneous catalytic system was proposed for the preparation of imides from alkene-tethered amides. Here, O2 acted as a terminal oxidant and a cheap and easily available oxygen source. The cleavage of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds and the formation of C-N bonds were catalyzed by Cu(ii) salts with proper nitrogen-containing ligands under 100 °C. The synthesis approach has potential applications in pharmaceutical syntheses. Moreover, scaled-up experiments confirmed the practical applicability.

Preparation of CdS-TiO2-Based Palladium Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst by Solvothermal Route and Its Catalytic Activity for Reduction of Nitroaromatic Compounds.

Project description:In this study, bare CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by solvothermal method using CdCl2(3-methylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone)2 as a single-source molecular precursor in the presence of ethylene glycol. Further, these CdS NPs were used for the preparation of binary (CdS-TiO2) and ternary (CdS-TiO2/Pd) heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Characterization of the as-prepared nanocatalysts has been carried out using different techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence studies. The peak observed at 2θ = 39.5° in XRD confirms the successful doping of noble metal (Pd) on the surface of CdS-TiO2 nanocatalyst, which is well supported by Raman analysis. From FESEM and TEM analyses, mixed morphology has been observed and elemental composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping. Furthermore, the as-prepared bare CdS NPs, binary CdS-TiO2, and ternary CdS-TiO2/Pd heterogeneous nanocatalysts were used for the reductive transformation of various nitroaromatic compounds to their corresponding aromatic amines at room temperature. It has been observed that among all of the catalysts, ternary CdS-TiO2/Pd heterogeneous nanocatalyst has excellent catalytic property to reduce all nitroaromatic compounds in very short time span.

A thiomolybdate cluster for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution: comparison of homogeneous and heterogeneous approaches.

Project description:This study investigates the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency of two photosystems incorporating an all-inorganic molecular thiomolybdate [Mo3S13]2- cluster as a HER catalyst. First, we delve into the performance of a homogeneous [Mo3S13]2-/[Ru(bpy)3]2+ (Mo3/Ru) dyad which demonstrates high turnover frequencies (TOFs) and apparent quantum yields (AQYs) at 445 nm approaching the level of 0.5%, yet its performance is marked by pronounced deactivation. In contrast, a heterogeneous approach involves anchoring [Mo3S13]2- onto graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) nanosheets through weak electrostatic association with its triazine/heptazine scaffold. [Mo3S13]2-/GCN (Mo3/GCN) displays effective H2 generation under visible light, with TOF metrics on par with those of its homogeneous analog. Although substantial leaching of [Mo3S13]2- species from the Mo3/GCN surface occurs, the remaining {Mo3}-based centers demonstrate impressive stability, leading to enduring HER performance, starkly distinguishing it from the homogeneous Mo3/Ru photosystem. Photoluminescence (PL) quenching experiments confirm that the performance of Mo3/GCN is not limited by the quality of the inorganic interface, but could be optimized by using higher surface area supports or a higher concentration of [Mo3S13]2- sites. Our findings showcase complexities underlying the evaluation and comparison of photosystems comprising well-defined catalytic centers and pave the way for developing analogous surface-supported (photo)catalysts with broad use in energy applications.

Bimetallic Pd-Au/TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles: An Efficient and Sustainable Heterogeneous Catalyst for Rapid Catalytic Hydrogen Transfer Reduction of Nitroarenes.

Project description:Anilines are one of the important chemical feedstocks and are utilized for the preparation of a variety of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, and dyes. In this context, the catalytic reduction of nitro functionality is an industrially vital process for the synthesis of aniline derivatives. Herein, we report an efficient nanosized bimetallic Pd-Au/TiO2 nanomaterial which is proved to be quite efficient for rapid catalytic hydrogen transfer reduction of nitroarenes into corresponding amines. Significantly, the reduction process is successful under solvent-free and mild green atmospheric conditions. Bimetallic Pd-Au nanoparticles served as the active center, and TiO2 played as a support in hydrogen transfer from the source hydrazine monohydrate. Typical results highlighted that the reactions were very rapid and the products were obtained in good to excellent yields. Significantly, the process was successful in the presence of a very low amount catalyst (0.1 mol %). Furthermore, the reaction showed good chemoselectivity and compatiblity with double or triple bond, aldehyde, ketone, and ester functionalities on the aromatic ring. Typical results indicated the true heterogeneous nature of the Pd-Au/TiO2 nanocatalyst, where the catalyst retained the activity, without loss of its activity.

Transition metal-free catalytic reduction of primary amides using an abnormal NHC based potassium complex: integrating nucleophilicity with Lewis acidic activation.

Project description:An abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) based potassium complex was used as a transition metal-free catalyst for reduction of primary amides to corresponding primary amines under ambient conditions. Only 2 mol% loading of the catalyst exhibits a broad substrate scope including aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic primary amides with excellent functional group tolerance. This method was applicable for reduction of chiral amides and utilized for the synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable precursors on a gram scale. During mechanistic investigation, several intermediates were isolated and characterized through spectroscopic techniques and one of the catalytic intermediates was characterized through single-crystal XRD. A well-defined catalyst and isolable intermediate along with several stoichiometric experiments, in situ NMR experiments and the DFT study helped us to sketch the mechanistic pathway for this reduction process unravelling the dual role of the catalyst involving nucleophilic activation by aNHC along with Lewis acidic activation by K ions.

Environmentally Benign Metal-Free Reduction of GO Using Molecular Hydrogen: A Mechanistic Insight.

Project description:A simple yet effective methodology to obtain high-quality reduced graphene oxide (RGO) using a tetrahydrofuran suspension of GO under hydrogen at moderate pressure has been demonstrated. The extent of reduction as a function of the pressure of hydrogen gas, temperature, and time was studied, where the abstraction of oxygen is achievable with least mutilation of C-sp2 bonds, hence upholding the integrity of the graphene sheet. Herein, the formation of a short-lived species is proposed, which is possibly responsible for such reduction. A detailed theoretical calculation along with in situ UV-visible experiments reveals the existence of a transient solvated electron species in the reaction medium. The hydrogen RGO (HRGO) achieved a C/O atomic ratio of 11.3. The conductivity measurements show that HRGO reached as high as 934 S/m, which indicates a high quality of RGO. The process is hassle-free, environmentally benign, and can be scaled up effortlessly without compromising the quality of the material.

A Convenient and Stable Heterogeneous Nickel Catalyst for Hydrodehalogenation of Aryl Halides Using Molecular Hydrogen.

Project description:Hydrodehalogenation is an effective strategy for transforming persistent and potentially toxic organohalides into their more benign congeners. Common methods utilize Pd/C or Raney-nickel as catalysts, which are either expensive or have safety concerns. In this study, a nickel-based catalyst supported on titania (Ni-phen@TiO2 -800) is used as a safe alternative to pyrophoric Raney-nickel. The catalyst is prepared in a straightforward fashion by deposition of nickel(II)/1,10-phenanthroline on titania, followed by pyrolysis. The catalytic material, which was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS, consists of nickel nanoparticles covered with N-doped carbon layers. By using design of experiments (DoE), this nanostructured catalyst is found to be proficient for the facile and selective hydrodehalogenation of a diverse range of substrates bearing C-I, C-Br, or C-Cl bonds (>30 examples). The practicality of this catalyst system is demonstrated by the dehalogenation of environmentally hazardous and polyhalogenated substrates atrazine, tetrabromobisphenol A, tetrachlorobenzene, and a polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Magnetically Induced Catalytic Reduction of Biomass-Derived Oxygenated Compounds in Water.

Project description:The development of energetically efficient processes for the aqueous reduction of biomass-derived compounds into chemicals is key for the optimal transformation of biomass. Herein we report an early example of the reduction of biomass-derived oxygenated compounds in water by magnetically induced catalysis. Non-coated and carbon-coated core-shell FeCo@Ni magnetic nanoparticles were used as the heating agent and the catalyst simultaneously. In this way it was possible to control the product distribution by adjusting the field amplitude applied during the magnetic catalysis, opening a precedent for this type of catalysis. Finally, the encapsulation of the magnetic nanoparticles in carbon (FeCo@Ni@C) strongly improved the stability of the magnetic catalyst in solution, making its reuse possible up to at least eight times in dioxane and four times in water.
