Carboxylcellulose hydrogel confined-Fe3O4 nanoparticles catalyst for Fenton-like degradation of Rhodamine B.

Facile preparation of functional hydrogel materials for environmental catalysis is a hot research topic of soft materials science and green catalysis. In this study, a carboxylcellulose hydrogel confined Fe3O4 nanoparticles composite catalyst (Fe3O4@CHC) with magnetic recyclability has been synthesized by taking the advantages of the newly developed cellulose solution in tetramethyl guanidine/DMSO/CO2 through in situ acylation using mixed cyclic anhydrides and ion exchange reaction. The achieved Fe3O4@CHC hydrogel catalyst was shown to be an more efficient and better Fenton-like catalyst for decomposition of the organic dye rhodamine B (RhB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, with almost complete decomposition occurring within 180 min, in comparison with Fe3O4@cellulose hydrogel (CH) with excellent recyclability. This work provided a facile strategy for the preparation of hydrogel-based functional composite green catalytic materials, which has potential applications in green catalysis.

Visible-light induced di- and trifluoromethylation of N-benzamides with fluorinated sulfones for the synthesis of CF2H/CF3-containing isoquinolinediones.

A general visible light induced direct difluoromethylation of N-methacryloyl benzamides by using difluoromethyl sulfone was developed. In addition, photoredox-catalyzed trifluoromethylation of N-methacryloyl benzamides with trifluoromethyl sulfone via a similar radical process was also achieved. This method allows for an efficient and practical synthesis of a variety of CF2H/CF3-containing isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones in moderate to good yields. The reaction features mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and a broad substrate scope.

Visible-light-mediated radical aryldifluoroacetylation of alkynes with ethyl bromodifluoroacetate for the synthesis of 3-difluoroacetylated coumarins.

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of 3-difluoroacetylated coumarins through visible-light-promoted aryldifluoroacetylation of alkynes with ethyl bromodifluoroacetate has been developed. The reaction allows the direct formation of Csp(2)-CF2COOEt and C-C bonds via a proposed tandem radical cyclization process.
