Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks derived Fe-1-N-C catalysts with isolated single iron atoms have been synthesized and applied for the efficient synthesis of various nitriles with high chemoselectivity and recyclability under mild conditions.
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks derived Fe-1-N-C catalysts with isolated single iron atoms have been synthesized and applied for selective ammoxidation reactions. For the preparation of the different Fe-based materials, benzylamine as an additive proved to be essential to tune the morphology and size of ZIFs resulting in uniform and smaller particles, which allow stable atomically dispersed Fe-N-4 active sites. The optimal catalyst Fe-1-N-C achieves an efficient synthesis of various aryl, heterocyclic, allylic, and aliphatic nitriles from alcohols in water under very mild conditions. With its chemoselectivity, recyclability, high efficiency under mild conditions this new system complements the toolbox of catalysts for nitrile synthesis, which are important intermediates with many applications in life sciences and industry. Exploring benign and green methodologies for the synthesis of functionalized nitriles continues to attract the interest of academic and industrial chemists. Here, the authors efficiently synthesize various aryl, heterocyclic, allylic, and aliphatic nitriles from alcohols in water under very mild conditions using zeolitic imidazolate frameworks derived Fe-1-N-C catalysts.
