Cobalt Modification for Improving Potassium Resistance of Mn/Ce‐ZrO2 in Selective Catalytic Reduction
Authors: Xiaopeng Zhang , Yuezong Cui , Zhuofeng Li , Xuerong Zhou , Gaohong He 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe three catalysts Mn/Ce‐ZrO2, MnCo/Ce‐ZrO2, and Mn/Co‐Ce‐ZrO2 were applied to remove NO in simulated flue gas. Their selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity and potassium resistance were studied. Catalysts with Co as a modifier of the support exhibited the best SCR activity. The catalyst Mn/Co‐Ce‐ZrO2 had a larger surface area, higher dispersion of active components, larger amount of surface acid, and better redox characteristics than the other two catalysts, leading to a better SCR activity. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy results proved the higher surface Mn4+ concentration of K0.3Mn/Co‐Ce‐ZrO2. Pyridine adsorption analysis suggested that there was still a large amount of Lewis acid in Mn/Co‐Ce‐ZrO2 even after potassium poisoning, demonstrating the higher resistance of this catalyst to potassium. Mn/Co‐Ce‐ZrO2 with potassium addition had a relatively stable SCR activity in the presence of H2O and SO2.
Acceleration of Anti‐Markovnikov Hydroamination in the Synthesis of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
Authors: Mitic Aleksandar , Skovby Tommy , Dam‐Johansen Kim , Gernaey Krist V. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractSlow chemical reactions are a big challenge in the modern pharmaceutical industry. Their accelerations together with the introduction of continuous manufacturing modes are major drivers for future development. One example reaction is hydroamination, a reaction between unsaturated hydrocarbons and amines. Such a reaction type is the main focus of this work. More precisely, the anti‐Markovnikov hydroamination reaction between cis/trans 9H‐thioxanthene‐2‐chloro‐9‐(2‐propenylidene)‐(9CI) and 1‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)piperazine (HEP) is investigated in detail. It has been traditionally performed in toluene with a huge excess of HEP and reaction times of up to 24 h. Acceleration of the reaction from 24 down to 4 h is achieved by switching from batch operation mode in toluene to either solvent‐free batch mode or microwave‐assisted hydroamination with tetrahydrofuran as a solvent.

Nanostructured MoS2 Nanorose/Graphene Nanoplatelet Hybrids for Electrocatalysis
Authors: Chua Chun Kiang , Loo Adeline Huiling , Pumera Martin 
Published: March 2016

AbstractTailoring and enhancing electrocatalytic activity is of the utmost importance from the viewpoints of sustainable energy and sensing. MoS2 and graphene show great promise for the electrocatalysis of many reactions. Given that both graphene and MoS2 are highly anisotropic in nature, with edge planes that are several orders of magnitude more catalytically active than basal planes, a new hybrid material with maximized edge‐plane density to provide efficient electron transfer, high catalytic activity, and conductive cores was engineered. The hybrid material consists of radial MoS2 nanosheets with a high density of edge planes and unsaturated active sulfur atoms as well as interspersed with conductive graphene nanoplatelets. This hybrid material exhibits excellent activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction and the detection of DNA nucleobases. Such a nanoengineered, nanostructured hybrid material may play a major role in future electrocatalytic devices.
One‐Pot Fabrication of Hierarchical Nanosheet‐Based TiO2–Carbon Hollow Microspheres for Anode Materials of High‐Rate Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Authors: Jin Zhaokui , Yang Mu , Wang Jingjing , Gao Hongyi , Lu Yunfeng , Wang Ge 
Published: March 2016

AbstractHierarchical and hollow nanostructures have recently attracted considerable attention because of their fantastic architectures and tunable property for facile lithium ion insertion and good cycling stability. In this study, a one‐pot and unusual carving protocol is demonstrated for engineering hollow structures with a porous shell. Hierarchical TiO2 hollow spheres with nanosheet‐assembled shells (TiO2 NHS) were synthesized by the sequestration between the titanium source and 2,2′‐bipyridine‐5,5′‐dicarboxylic acid, and kinetically controlled etching in trifluoroacetic acid medium. In addition, annealing such porous nanostructures presents the advantage of imparting carbon‐doped functional performance to its counterpart under different atmospheres. Such highly porous structures endow very large specifics surface area of 404 m2 g−1 and 336 m2 g−1 for the as‐prepared and calcination under nitrogen gas. C/TiO2 NHS has high capacity of 204 mA h g−1 at 1 C and a reversible capacity of 105 mA h g−1 at a high rate of 20 C, and exhibits good cycling stability and superior rate capability as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries.
Formation and High Reactivity of the anti‐Dioxo Form of High‐Spin μ‐Oxodioxodiiron(IV) as the Active Species That Cleaves Strong C−H Bonds

AbstractRecently, it was shown that μ‐oxo‐μ‐peroxodiiron(III) is converted to high‐spin μ‐oxodioxodiiron(IV) through O−O bond scission. Herein, the formation and high reactivity of the anti‐dioxo form of high‐spin μ‐oxodioxodiiron(IV) as the active oxidant are demonstrated on the basis of resonance Raman and electronic‐absorption spectral changes, detailed kinetic studies, DFT calculations, activation parameters, kinetic isotope effects (KIE), and catalytic oxidation of alkanes. Decay of μ‐oxodioxodiiron(IV) was greatly accelerated on addition of substrate. The reactivity order of substrates is toluene<ethylbenzene≈cumene<trans‐β‐methylstyrene. The rate constants increased proportionally to the substrate concentration at low substrate concentration. At high substrate concentration, however, the rate constants converge to the same value regardless of the kind of substrate. This is explained by a two‐step mechanism in which anti‐μ‐oxodioxodiiron(IV) is formed by syn‐to‐anti transformation of the syn‐dioxo form and reacts with substrates as the oxidant. The anti‐dioxo form is 620 times more reactive in the C−H bond cleavage of ethylbenzene than the most reactive diiron system reported so far. The KIE for the reaction with toluene/[D8]toluene is 95 at −30 °C, which the largest in diiron systems reported so far. The present diiron complex efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of various alkanes with H2O2.
Electrophilic Activation of α,β‐Unsaturated Amides: Catalytic Asymmetric Vinylogous Conjugate Addition of Unsaturated γ‐Butyrolactones
Authors: Zhang Ming , Kumagai Naoya , Shibasaki Masakatsu 
Published: March 2016

AbstractAlthough catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition reactions have remarkably advanced over the last two decades, the application of less electrophilic α,β‐unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives in this useful reaction manifold remains challenging. Herein, we report that α,β‐unsaturated 7‐azaindoline amides act as reactive electrophiles to participate in catalytic diastereo‐ and enantioselective vinylogous conjugate addition of γ‐butyrolactones in the presence of a cooperative catalyst comprising of a soft Lewis acid and a Brønsted base. Reactions mostly reached completion with as little as 1 mol % of catalyst loading to give the desired conjugate adducts in a highly stereoselective manner.
Site‐Selective Acylations with Tailor‐Made Catalysts
Authors: Huber Florian , Kirsch Stefan F. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe acylation of alcohols catalyzed by N,N‐dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) is, despite its widespread use, sometimes confronted with substrate‐specific problems: For example, target compounds with multiple hydroxy groups may show insufficient selectivity for one hydroxyl, and the resulting product mixtures are hardly separable. Here we describe a concept that aims at tailor‐made catalysts for the site‐specific acylation. To this end, we introduce a catalyst library where each entry is constructed by connecting a variable and readily tuned peptide scaffold with a catalytically active unit based on DMAP. For selected examples, we demonstrate how library screening leads to the identification of optimized catalysts, and the substrates of interest can be converted with a markedly enhanced site‐selectivity compared with only DMAP. Furthermore, substrate‐optimized catalysts of this type can be used to selectively convert “their” substrate in the presence of structurally similar compounds, an important requisite for reactions with mixtures of substances.
Asymmetric Palladium‐Catalyzed Alkene Carboamination Reactions for the Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfamides
Authors: Garlets Zachary J. , Parenti Kaia R. , Wolfe John P. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe synthesis of cyclic sulfamides by enantioselective Pd‐catalyzed alkene carboamination reactions between N‐allylsulfamides and aryl or alkenyl bromides is described. High levels of asymmetric induction (up to 95:5 e.r.) are achieved using a catalyst composed of [Pd2(dba)3] and (S)‐Siphos‐PE. Deuterium‐labelling studies indicate the reactions proceed through syn‐aminopalladation of the alkene and suggest that the control of syn‐ versus anti‐aminopalladation pathways is important for asymmetric induction.
