Abstract:
Using Pd homogeneous catalysts for direct C-H arylation is an attractive approach for synthesizing natural products and organic functional materials, but limitations in terms of cost and catalyst recovery could be alleviated by alternative heterogeneous catalysts. Here we demonstrated that a type of Pd single atoms/clusters cocatalyst localized on non-enzymatic browning glucose acted as a highly active and stable heterogeneous catalyst for direct coupling of a variety of inert C-H bonds with aryl iodides. Oriented to either C(sp3)-H or C(sp2)-H bond activation, designing targeted heterogeneous Pd catalyst was achieved by tailoring the structure of support in our catalyst. Multi-technique characterizations confirmed that the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) between Pd single atoms/clusters with various coordination groups, especially imino (C = N), of support cans stabilize high valent (d electron-deficient) active Pd sites on support surface in reaction process and break the activity-stability trade-off in chelation-assisted C(sp3)-H arylation reaction via PdII/PdIV catalytic cycle.

02:47Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
02:36Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
