The Ni-Pd catalyzed addition-cyclization of sulfanyl 1,6-diynes 2-9 with nucleobases is described. The reactions of N-tethered 1,6-diynes with N-benzoylthymine, N,N-bis(Boc)cytosine, N-benzoyluracil and N,N-bis(Boc)adenine exclusively afforded the pyrrolylmethyl and furylmethyl nucleotides in good yields. Deprotection of nucleobases was completed by treatment with acids or bases. Furthermore, the reactions of pyrroles and furans with nucleophiles such as alkoxides and amines underwent detosylation and conversion to the alkoxymethyl- and arylaminomethyl-pyrroles and furans in good yields.

Decarbonylation of thioesters has been actively studied using homogeneous metal catalysts as an attractive approach for synthesizing thioethers, which are widely utilized in various fields, because decarbonylation ideally requires no additives and produces CO as the sole theoretical byproduct. However, heterogeneously catalyzed decarbonylation of thioesters has not been reported to date, despite its importance for the construction of environmentally-friendly and practical catalytic systems. This study demonstrated a heterogeneously catalyzed system for the decarbonylation of various aryl thioesters to produce thioethers and CO by utilizing CeO- or hydroxyapatite-supported Ni, Pd, or Rh nanoparticle catalysts.

The asymmetric α-allylation of α-aryl-substituted 2-acetyl imidazoles synergistically catalyzed by Ni/Pd catalysts has been developed. In this process, the nickel-bisoxazoline complex activates the enolate of an acetyl imidazole, which then reacts with a π-allyl palladium electrophile generated from an allyl alcohol derivative by a palladium-based catalyst. A broad scope of substrates was suitable for this reaction.

Lewis acid-transition metal (LA-TM) catalysts have been proven to have an advantage in catalyzing hydrogen activation. Herein, a high-dimensional structure-activity relationship study is performed for LA-TM-catalyzed hydrogen activation by density functional theory calculations. The DPB-Ni complex is taken as the representative catalyst, and the explored Lewis acid sites and transition-metal centers include B, Al, Ga and Ni, Pd, Pt, respectively.

We have developed an efficient method to generate highly active nickel-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ni-Pd/MWCNTs) by dry mixing of the nickel and palladium salts utilizing the mechanical energy of a ball-mill. These nanoparticles were successfully employed in Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions with a wide array of functionalized aryl halides and terminal alkynes under ligand and copper free conditions using a Monowave 50 heating reactor. Notably, the concentration of palladium can be lowered to a minimum amount of 0.

Lignin-derived aromatic chemicals offer a compelling alternative to petrochemical feedstocks, and new applications are the focus of extensive interest. 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (), vanillic acid (), and syringic acid () are readily obtained via oxidative depolymerization of hardwood lignin substrates. Here, we explore the use of these compounds to access biaryl dicarboxylate esters that represent biobased, less toxic alternatives to phthalate plasticizers.
