RESUMO
The performance of mechanochemically synthesized supported bimetallic AgAu nanoalloy catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative cleavage of methyl oleate, a commonly available unsaturated bio-derived raw material. An extensive screening of supports (SiO2 , C, ZrO2 , Al2 O3 ), metallic ratios (Ag : Au), reaction times, temperatures, and use of solvents was carried out. The performance was optimized towards productivity and selectivity for the primary cleavage products (aldehydes and oxoesters). The optimal conditions were achieved in the absence of solvent, using Ag8 Au92 /SiO2 as catalyst, at 80 °C, reaction time of 1â h, substrate to catalyst=555 and 10â bar of molecular oxygen. A strong support effect was observed: the selectivity to aldehydes was best with silica as support, and to esters was best using zirconia. This shows not only that mechanochemical preparation of bimetallic catalysts is a powerful tool to generate useful catalyst compositions, but also that a safe, green, solventless synthesis of bio-derived products can be achieved by aerobic oxidative cleavage.
RESUMO
A novel organometallic receptor binds anions in solution and in the solid state, with complexes stabilised through a series of C-HX interactions, as evidenced by 1H NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and computational models.

The reaction of the orthopalladated triarylphosphite complexes [{Pd(mu-Cl){kappa(2)-P,C-P(OC(6)H(2)-2,4-R(2))(OC(6)H(3)-2,4-R(2))}(2)] (R = H, (t)Bu) with bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine leads to a five-coordinate palladium(II) (R = H) and a mixture containing four-and five-coordinate species (R = (t)Bu). The crystal structure of the five-coordinate species [Pd{kappa(2)-P,C-(P(OC(6)H(4))(OC(6)H(5))(2)}{bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine}][SbF(6)] is presented. This complex reacts with hydrogen peroxide or [AuCl(tht)] to give four-coordinate complexes in which the displaced phosphine residue is either oxidised or coordinated to gold chloride; this demonstrates that the five-coordinate complexes are labile in solution. By contrast, the reactions of the dimeric precursors with 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane give four-coordinate complexes in the solid state, although evidence is presented that the smaller phosphite-containing system is five-coordinate at room temperature or higher in solution.
RESUMO
N-H carbazoles can be produced from 2-chloroanilines and aryl bromides via consecutive catalytic amination and C-H activation. In many instances, this can be done in a tandem manner in one pot. The methodologies developed can be used in the synthesis of a range of carbazoles, including the natural products Clausine P and glycozolidine and a precursor in the synthesis of Clausines H, K, O, and 7-methoxy-O-methylmukonal, and can be extended to the synthesis of indoles.
RESUMO
Iron nanoparticles, either formed in situ stabilized by 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane or polyethylene glycol (PEG), or preformed stabilized by PEG, are excellent catalysts for the cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing beta-hydrogens and they also prove effective in a tandem cyclization/cross-coupling reaction.
RESUMO
Simple catalysts formed in situ from iron chloride and a wide range of monodentate and bidentate phosphines and arsines have been screened in the coupling of alkyl halides bearing beta-hydrogens with aryl Grignard reagents. The best of these show excellent activity, as do catalysts formed in situ with monodentate trialkyl and triaryl phosphite ligands. N-heterocyclic carbene-based precatalysts, either preformed or made in situ, also show excellent performance.
RESUMO
Palladium complexes of 2-pyridyldiphenylphosphine anchored on polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate and styrene-methylmethacrylate copolymer form highly active heterogeneous catalysts for the alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes with activities approaching those obtained under homogeneous conditions.
RESUMO
The synthesis of a range of chiral palladium bis(phosphite) pincer complexes has been achieved via C-H activation of the parent ligands and one of the complexes formed shows good activity in the catalytic allylation of aldehydes.
RESUMO
Carbene adducts of orthopalladated triarylphosphite complexes have been synthesised and characterised. The structures of three of these complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The complexes are active in the Suzuki coupling of a range of aryl bromide substrates.
