Article Abstract

The efficient formation of C(sp)-C(sp) bond is essential, particularly in pharmaceutical synthesis, where the incorporation of sp-rich motifs is highly desirable. Despite the growing demand for sustainable synthetic methods, heterogeneous C(sp)-C(sp) coupling remains underexplored. In this work, we present a ligand-tuned heterogeneous bifunctional catalytic system that employs nickel single atoms supported on carbon nitride (Ni/CN) for visible-light-driven C(sp)-C(sp) coupling reactions. We experimentally and computationally demonstrate that the coordination of bidentate bipyridine ligands to Ni single atoms anchored on carbon nitride enables the efficient transformation of alkyl boronic esters into C(sp)-C(sp) coupled products with high activity and selectivity. Furthermore, beyond C(sp)-C(sp) coupling, the system exhibits remarkable versatility. Modulating ligand environments allows for distinct transformations: replacing the bidentate ligand with monodentate ligands facilitates C-X coupling (X = O, N), while ligand-free conditions enable selective aerobic oxidation. This tunable catalytic platform streamlines pharmaceutical synthesis and underscores the potential of single-atom catalysts in green chemistry and complex organic transformations.

In this paper, Fe (III), Zn (II), and Cr (III) were used to complex with corn silk polysaccharide (CSP) by classical methods and CSP-Fe, CSP-Zn, and CSP-Cr were successfully synthesized, respectively. The physicochemical properties and structural features were characterized by chemical composition analysis, inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The antioxidant activities and inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase of CSP, CSP-Fe, CSP-Zn, and CSP-Cr were compared.

We report synthesis of two diastereomeric structures previously proposed for the complex secondary metabolite pseurotin A. Both structures were accessed from the same building blocks taking advantage of a stereodivergent nickel(II)-diamine-catalyzed 1,4-addition of a chiral 2-alkoxycarbonyl-3(2)-furanone. Late-stage Csp-Csp cross-coupling of a highly functionalized bromoalkyne featured in the pseurotin A side-chain assembly.

Rh(iii)-catalyzed coupling of phenylhydrazines with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols was realized through a hydrazine-directed C-H functionalization pathway. This [4+1] annulation, based on the cleavage of a Csp-Csp triple bond in alkynylcyclobutanol, provides a new pathway to prepare diverse 1H-indazoles under mild reaction conditions.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling chemistry can be regarded as one of the most powerful protocols to construct carbon-carbon bonds. While the field is still dominated by palladium catalysis, there is an increasing interest to develop protocols that utilize cheaper and more sustainable metal sources. Herein, we report a selective, practical, and fast iron-based cross-coupling reaction that enables the formation of Csp-Csp and Csp -Csp bonds.

Heterogeneous catalysis presents significant advantages over homogeneous catalysis such as ease of separation and reuse of the catalyst. Here we show that a very inexpensive, manageable and widely available material - glass wool - can act as a catalyst support for a number of different reactions. Different metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, based on Pd, Co, Cu, Au and Ru, were deposited on glass wool and used as heterogeneous catalysts for a variety of thermal and photochemical organic reactions including reductive de-halogenation of aryl halides, reduction of nitrobenzene, Csp-Csp couplings, N-C heterocycloadditions (click chemistry) and Csp-Csp couplings (Sonogashira couplings).
