Published: January 2017

A novel strategy for the dehydrogenation of the NH-NH bond is disclosed using potassium tert-butoxide (tBuOK) in liquid ammonia (NH ) under air at room temperature. Its synthetic value is well demonstrated by the highly efficient synthesis of aromatic azo compounds (up to 100 % yield, 3 min), heterocyclic azo compounds, and dehydrazination of phenylhydrazine. The broad application of this strategy and its benefit to chemical biology is proved by a novel, convenient, one-pot synthesis of aliphatic diazirines, which are important photoreactive agents for photoaffinity labeling.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research used differential electrochemical mass spectrometry and infrared absorption spectroscopy to analyze species formed during the electrochemical ammonia oxidation on platinum, identifying key adsorbed and solution products.
  • * Findings revealed that the coupling of NH ad-species is the rate-determining step at high potentials, while dehydrogenation plays that role at low potentials, providing valuable insights for designing better catalysts for ammonia oxidation.

Sustainable metal-encased (Ni-Co/Fe/Cu)@N-doped-C catalysts were prepared from bio-waste and used for the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction. A unique combination of bimetals, N doping, and porous carbon surfaces resulted in the formation of the effective "three-in-one" catalysts. These N-doped graphene-like carbon shells with bimetals were synthesized the complexation of metal salts with chitosan and the subsequent pyrolysis at 700 °C.
