Published: August 2021

A strategy for one-pot synthesis of isoindoles is described via a catalytic multicomponent dehydrogenative annulation of diarylimines, vinyl ketones and simple amines. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst and Cu oxidant, four C-H and two N-H bonds are activated along with the formation of one new C-C and two new C-N bonds, leading to a series of isoindole derivatives in good to very high isolated yields.

Chemodivergent, enantio- and regioselective couplings of alkynes, aldehydes and silanes enabled by nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.

Herein, we describe a sustainable Co(II)-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles and pyridines. Using a Co(II)-catalyst [Co (L)Cl] (1 a) bearing redox-active 2-(phenyldiazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (L) scaffold, various substituted pyrroles and pyridines were synthesized in good yields, taking alcohol as one of the primary feedstock. Pyrroles were synthesized by the equimolar reaction of 2-amino and secondary alcohols.

Herein, we present the first efficient and sustainable multicomponent synthesis (MCS) of 2-pyrazolines using acceptorless dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohols catalysed by nickel(II) catalysts. Two air-stable phosphine free nickel(II) complexes anchored by NNN-type pincer ligands were synthesized and efficiently used in the MCS of 40 distinct pyrazoline derivatives.

Engineering multi-component 3DOM FeVCrO catalysts with high oxygen mobility for the oxidative dehydrogenation of 1-butene with CO.

National & Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Applied Technology of Hybrid Nanomaterials, Henan University, Kaifeng 475004, China.

Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of 1-butene with CO to 1,3-butadiene (BD) Fe-based catalysts is a promising strategy, and the mobility of lattice oxygen plays a key role in the catalytic reaction. However, the catalytic activity of Fe-based catalysts is limited by the poor lattice oxygen mobility. To improve the mobility of lattice oxygen and optimize the ODH reaction, a series of 3DOM Fe-based catalysts (FeVAlO, FeCrAlO, and FeVCrAlO) were prepared by PMMA template method.

This study showcases successfully switchable approaches to accomplish the C3-aryl methylation and C3- amino methylation of privileged nitrogen-containing pharmaceutical compounds "imidazopyridines" with distinct amines, which surmounts the long-standing requirement for a superfluous directing group. These two transformations manifest pronounced regio- and chemo-divergent behavior, successfully demonstrating unprecedented multicomponent "abnormal Mannich and Mannich-type" reactions. The remarkable environmentally benign protocol has been efficiently extended to concise the synthesis and late-stage derivatization.
