Summary: A commercially available cobalt complex Cp*Co-III(CO)I-2 has been discovered to efficiently catalyze the diamination of α-alkyl styrenes with anilines under mild reaction conditions, using dioxygen as the oxidant. This reaction exhibits a reasonably wide substrate scope of amines and good functional group tolerance. Preliminary mechanistic studies have indicated that Cp*Co-III(CO)I-2 alone can facilitate the diamination reaction.

Summary: The aryl-substituted derivatives (Cl and Br) of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were synthesized and studied for their catalytic performance in the oxidation of cyclohexylbenzene (CHB). Both experimental and theoretical studies have shown that chloro-substitution on NHPI can significantly enhance its catalytic effects on CHB oxidation.

Summary: The catalytic activities of transition metal oxide (TMO) catalysts, such as VOX and MnOX supported on TiO2 and TiO2-SiO2, in the aerobic liquid-phase radical chain oxidation of alkylarenes (RH) with N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) were investigated. The mechanisms of NHPI catalysis and the participation of TMO in the chain initiation stage were discussed. The catalytic activities were compared with the results of molecular hydrogen temperature programmed reduction profiles (H2-TPR), showing correlation between them. The obtained experimental results were explained by calculating the reaction enthalpies for model catalytic centers using a semi-empirical method. Finally, the oxidation process of cumene was presented, identifying the concomitant role of heterogeneous initiation and homogeneous propagation and termination steps in the free-radical mechanism.

Summary: This article describes the development of a general strategy for the silylation of N-heteroaromatics and unsaturated benzamides by rationally designing an efficient organic photocatalyst. The process is characterized by its simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and utilization of readily prepared naphthalimide (NI)-based organic photocatalysts. Importantly, both inert trialkylhydrosilanes and arylhydrosilanes are compatible with this protocol.

Summary: In this study, a combination of Fe(NO3)(3)center dot 9H(2)O/TEMPO/KCl catalysts was identified to efficiently catalyze the aerobic oxidation of 1,4-diols to yield gamma-butyrolactones under mild conditions. The reaction showed good chemo- and regioselectivity towards symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,4-diols. Optically active gamma-lactones could also be obtained without loss of enantiomeric excess (ee) from optically active 1,4-diols using this method. Furthermore, this approach was successfully applied in the synthesis of the commercial drug NBP.

Summary: The combination of ligand-to-metal charge transfer radical chemistry and metal catalysis enables visible-light-promoted N-H alkylation of amides and N-heterocycles, producing a wide variety of N-alkylated products. The applicability of this method is further demonstrated through late-stage alkylation of N-H-containing pharmaceuticals. A mechanistic study reveals the key role of hydrogen atom transfer in activating C(sp(3))-H precursors.

Summary: Alcohol dehydrogenases are enzymes that use cofactors for oxidation or reduction reactions of alcohols or carbonyl compounds. They are utilized in green chemistry and have applications in the production of pharmaceuticals. Recombinant enzymes have solved the challenge of producing purified enzymes in large quantities. Engineered alcohol dehydrogenases have been used in asymmetric synthesis in industry. Various methods have been established for regenerating expensive cofactors to make the enzymatic process more efficient and economically viable.
