Visible-Light Photocatalytic Functionalization of Isocyanides for the Synthesis of Secondary Amides and Ketene Aminals.

ABSTRACT: A new visible light-induced photocatalytic protocol enabling the formation of secondary amides from electron-poor organic bromides and isocyanides was developed. In addition, the in situ interception of ketenimine intermediates with nitrogen nucleophiles such as amines, hydrazines, and TMSN₃ afforded, in a one-pot two-step procedure, valuable scaffolds such as ketene aminals, pyrazolones, and tetrazoles. Mechanistic evidence confirmed a radical pathway where isocyanides acted as radical geminal acceptors generating key imidoyl radical species.

The Dark Side of Isocyanides: Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity in the Oxidative Functionalization of C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:The possibility to harness aromatic isocyanides as visible-light photocatalysts in the α-amino C(sp3)-H functionalization is herein presented. Actually, the three-component cross-dehydrogenative coupling of aromatic tertiary amines with isocyanides and water leads to amide products under very mild conditions in high yields and with a good substrate scope. While the reaction with aromatic isocyanides proceeds upon direct photoexcitation, aliphatic isocyanides are able to form a photoactive electron-donor-acceptor complex with aromatic amines. Moreover, the use of a catalytic loading of an aromatic isocyanide promotes the oxidative coupling of N-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with an array of different (pro)nucleophiles in good to excellent yields, thus providing the proof-of-concept for the development of a new highly tunable class of organic visible-light photocatalysts.

Into the Blue: Ketene Multicomponent Reactions under Visible Light.

Project description:For the first time, a detailed study on the photophysical properties of variously substituted diazoketones and on their photoreactivity under blue LED irradiation was carried out. Despite very limited absorbance in the visible region, we have demonstrated that, independently from their structure, α-diazoketones all undergo a very efficient Wolff rearrangement. Contrarily to the same UV-mediated reaction, where photons can give rise to side processes, in this case, almost all absorbed photons are selective and effective, and the quantum yield is close to 100%. If the rearrangement is carried out in the presence of isocyanides and carboxylic acids/silanols, the photoreactivity is not affected, and the resulting ketenes can afford α-acyloxy- and α-silyloxyacrylamides through two distinct multicomponent reactions, performed both in batch and under continuous flow, with improved selectivity and broader scope. These photoinduced multicomponent reactions can be coupled with other visible-light-mediated transformations, thus increasing the diversity of the molecules obtainable by this approach.

Controlled synthesis and visible light photocatalytic activity of Bi12GeO20 uniform microcrystals.

Project description:We successfully synthesized uniform Bi12GeO20 microspheres and microtetrahedrons enclosed by four {111} facets using a controlled hydrothermal method for the first time. The photocatalytic activity of these regular-shaped products was further investigated by the degradation of RhB and gaseous formaldehyde under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm). The Bi12GeO20 microtetrahedrons (s) exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability which is closely related to the high capacity of exposed {111} facets for uptake of O2. The formation mechanism studies indicate that the Bi12GeO20 seeds were directed to grow into truncated microcubes, truncated microtetrahedrons, and then microtetrahedrons when the NaOH concentration was 5 M. The same batch of seeds only evolved into microspheres when the NaOH concentration was switched to 3 M. The difference in Bi12GeO20 morphology could be attributed to the rates of both crystal nucleation and crystal growth.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Bismuth Ferrite Hollow Spheres with Enhanced Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity.

Project description:In recent years, semiconductor hollow spheres have gained much attention due to their unique combination of morphological, chemical, and physico-chemical properties. In this work, we report for the first time the synthesis of BiFeO3 hollow spheres by a facile hydrothermal treatment method. The mechanism of formation of pure phase BiFeO3 hollow spheres is investigated systematically by variation of synthetic parameters such as temperature and time, ratio and amount of precursors, pressure, and calcination procedures. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. We observe that the purity and morphology of the synthesized materials are very sensitive to synthesis parameters. In general, the chemically and morphologically very robust hollow spheres have diameters in the range of 200 nm to 2 μm and a wall thickness of 50-200 nm. The synthesized BiFeO3 hollow spheres were applied as catalysts in the photodegradation of the model pollutant Rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation. Notably, the photocatalyst demonstrated exceptionally high removal efficiencies leading to complete degradation of the dye in less than 150 min at neutral pH. The superior efficiencies of the synthesized material are attributed to the unique features of hollow spheres. The active species in the photocatalytic process have been identified by trapping experiments.

Facile Green Synthesis of BiOBr Nanostructures with Superior Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity.

Project description:Novel green bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr-G) nanoflowers were successfully synthesized via facile hydrolysis route using an Azadirachta indica (Neem plant) leaf extract and concurrently, without the leaf extract (BiOBr-C). The Azadirachta indica leaf extract was employed as a sensitizer and stabilizer for BiOBr-G, which significantly expanded the optical window and boosted the formation of photogenerated charge carriers and transfer over the BiOBr-G surface. The photocatalytic performance of both samples was investigated for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and phenol (Ph) under the irradiation of visible light. The leaf extract mediated BiOBr-G photocatalyst displayed significantly higher photocatalytic activity when compared to BiOBr-C for the degradation of both pollutants. The degradation rate of MO and Ph by BiOBr-G was found to be nearly 23% and 16% more when compared to BiOBr-C under visible light irradiation, respectively. The substantial increase in the photocatalytic performance of BiOBr-G was ascribed to the multiple synergistic effects between the efficient solar energy harvesting, narrower band gap, high specific surface area, porosity, and effective charge separation. Furthermore, BiOBr-G displayed high stability for five cycles of photocatalytic activity, which endows its practical application as a green photocatalyst in the long run.

Nanocasting synthesis of BiFeO3 nanoparticles with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity.

Project description:In this work, monodisperse BiFeO3 nanoparticles with a particle diameter of 5.5 nm were synthesized by a nanocasting technique using mesoporous silica SBA-15 as a hard template and pre-fabricated metal carboxylates as metal precursors. To the best of our knowledge, the synthesized particles are the smallest BiFeO3 particles ever prepared by any method. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The phase purity of the product depends on the type of carboxylic acid used in the synthesis of the metal precursors, the type of solvent in the wet impregnation process, and the calcination procedure. By using tartaric acid in the synthesis of the metal precursors, acidified 2-methoxyethanol in the wet impregnation process and a calcination procedure with intermediate plateaus, monodisperse 5.5 nm BiFeO3 nanoparticles were successfully obtained. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were applied in photodegradation reactions of rhodamine B in aqueous solution under visible-light irradiation. Notably, the cast BiFeO3 nanoparticles demonstrated very high efficiencies and stability under visible-light irradiation, much higher than those of BiFeO3 nanoparticles synthesized by other synthetic methods. The possible mechanism in the photodegradation process has been deeply discussed on the basis of radical trapping experiments.

Synthesis, Characterization and Visible-Light Photocatalytic Activity of Solid and TiO2-Supported Uranium Oxycompounds.

Project description:In this study, various solid uranium oxycompounds and TiO2-supported materials based on nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 are synthesized using uranyl nitrate hexahydrate as a precursor. All uranium-contained samples are characterized using N2 adsorption, XRD, UV-vis, Raman, TEM, XPS and tested in the oxidation of a volatile organic compound under visible light of the blue region to find correlations between their physicochemical characteristics and photocatalytic activity. Both uranium oxycompounds and TiO2-supported materials are photocatalytically active and are able to completely oxidize gaseous organic compounds under visible light. If compared to the commercial visible-light TiO2 KRONOS® vlp 7000 photocatalyst used as a benchmark, solid uranium oxycompounds exhibit lower or comparable photocatalytic activity under blue light. At the same time, uranium compounds contained uranyl ion with a uranium charge state of 6+, exhibiting much higher activity than other compounds with a lower charge state of uranium. Immobilization of uranyl ions on the surface of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 allows for substantial increase in visible-light activity. The photonic efficiency of reaction over uranyl-grafted TiO2, 12.2%, is 17 times higher than the efficiency for commercial vlp 7000 photocatalyst. Uranyl-grafted TiO2 has the potential as a visible-light photocatalyst for special areas of application where there is no strict control for use of uranium compounds (e.g., in spaceships or submarines).

Visible-Light-Driven Solventylation Strategy for Olefin Functionalization.

Project description:Amphiphilic aryl radicals generated upon visible light irradiation of arylazo sulfones have been exploited in the development of a solventylation strategy via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). The present protocol succeeded in the versatile functionalization of various olefins with carbon-centered radicals deriving from acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, methylene chloride, nitromethane, methyl acetate, and methyl formate under metal- and photocatalyst-free conditions. The direct addition of the aryl radicals onto the olefin substrates was suppressed under high dilution conditions.

Synthesis of diverse spiro-imidazo pyridine-indene derivatives via acid-promoted annulation reaction of bindone and heterocyclic ketene aminals.

Project description:A new multi-component reaction for the synthesis of novel and diverse spiro-imidazo pyridine-indene derivatives named spiro[imidazo[1,2-a]indeno[2,1-e]pyridine-5,1'-indene and indenylidene-1H-spiro[imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-7,1'-indene was successfully developed by the reaction between heterocyclic ketene aminals (generated from 1,1-bis(methylthio)-2-nitro ethylene and diamine) and [1,2'-biindenylidene]-1',3,3'-trione (bindone) (in situ generated from self-condensation of 1,3-indandion) by using malononitrile as a promoter or as one of the precursors respectively in the presence of p-TSA as the acid catalyst in EtOH as reaction medium under reflux conditions. Depending on whether the reaction is single-step or two-step, malononitrile can act as a promoter or reactant. The convenient one-pot operation, straightforward isolation without using additional purification methods, and the use of a variety of diamines and cysteamine hydrochloride causing a variety of structural products are attractive aspects of the present approach. The synthesized bindone and final product contains active methylene and this active site can be involved in further reactions to synthesize more complex heterocycles.
