Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis: bridging the gap through surface organometallic chemistry

Surface organometallic chemistry is an area of heterogeneous catalysis which has recently emerged as a result of a comparative analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. The chemical industry has often favored heterogeneous catalysis, but the development of better catalysts has been hindered by the presence of numerous kinds of active sites and also by the low concentration of active sites. These factors have precluded a rational improvement of these systems, hence the empirical nature of heterogeneous catalysis. Catalysis is primarily a molecular phenomenon, and it must involve well-defined surface organometallic intermediates and/or transition states. Thus, one must be able to construct a well-defined active site, test its catalytic performance, and assess a structure-activity relationship, which will be used, in turn-as in homogeneous catalysis-to design better catalysts.By the transfer of the concepts and tools of molecular organometallic chemistry to surfaces, surface organometallic chemistry can generate well-defined surface species by understanding the reaction of organometallic complexes with the support, which can be considered as a rigid ligand. This new approach to heterogeneous catalysis can bring molecular insight to the design of new catalysts and even allow the discovery of new reactions (Ziegler-Natta depolymerization and alkane metathesis). After more than a century of existence, heterogeneous catalysis can still be improved and will play a crucial role in solving current problems. It offers an answer to economical and environmental problems faced by industry in the production of molecules (agrochemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, polymers, basic chemicals).

Catalysis with Palladium Complexes Photoexcited by Visible Light

Palladium catalysis induced by visible light is an emerging field of catalysis. In contrast to classical reactions catalyzed by Pd complexes in the ground state, which mostly proceed through two‐electron redox processes, the mechanisms of these new methods based on photoexcited Pd complexes usually operate through transfer of a single electron. Such processes lead to putative hybrid Pd/radical species, which exhibit both radical and classical Pd‐type reactivity. This Minireview highlights the recent progress in this rapidly growing area.     

Recent advances in asymmetric fluorination and fluoroalkylation reactions via organocatalysis

The past decade has witnessed the significant advances of asymmetric organocatalytic fluorination, monofluoroalkylation, gem-difluoroalkylation, and trifluoromethylation. This digest summarizes the latest progress of these reactions. In the research area of asymmetric organocatalytic fluorination, a new catalysis concept, chiral anion phase-transfer catalysis strategy, has emerged and has proved to be highly efficient. Asymmetric organocatalytic monofluoroalkylation and gem-difluoroalkylation have been much less explored and the Lewis base/acid catalysis has been the most used strategy. Compared with electrophilic trifluoromethylation, nucleophilic trifluoromethylation has been intensively studied in the research field of asymmetric organocatalytic trifluoromethylation.     

Synergistic Pd/Cu Catalysis in Organic Synthesis

Synergistic Pd/Cu catalysis has been utilized in the Sonogashira reaction since 1975. However, this strategy has not received much attention from the organic chemist community until recently. Synergistic Pd/Cu catalysis is becoming a proficient method for the development of catalytic reactions, including several new and efficient cross-coupling reactions. Additionally, several challenging asymmetric reactions, including stereodivergent synthesis, have been discovered by the combined use of a chiral metal catalyst and a second achiral metal catalyst or two chiral metal catalysts. This review provides an overview of this field, with the aims of highlighting both the development of synergistic Pd/Cu catalysis in organic synthesis and the reaction mechanisms involved in this research area.     

Gold catalysis in organic transformations: A review

Gold can also be suggested for green processes dedicated to fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry due to its recognized biocompatibility.

Merging organocatalysis and gold catalysis-a critical evaluation of the underlying concepts

While both organocatalysis and gold catalysis have their roots deeply entrenched in the landscape of modern organic chemistry, an exciting trend in the complementary merging of organocatalysis and especially Au(I) catalysis has emerged in the last four years. This niche area has been developing rapidly and this minireview serves to pin-point the fundamental concepts guiding reaction design in these binary catalytic systems. Moreover, the proven synthetic utility of organo/Au(I) multicatalytic systems in accessing molecular frameworks, previously a challenge to single catalytic systems, has resulted in this new concept permeating numerous areas of organocatalysis, such as primary/secondary amine, Br?nsted acid, hydrogen-bonding as well as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. The first detailed account of these recent developments is systematically presented.

Nitrogen-rich porous covalent imine network (CIN) material as an efficient catalytic support for C-C coupling reactions

In an effort to expand the realm of possibilities of nitrogen-rich porous materials that could be used in catalysis, herein we report the synthesis of a new highly nitrogen rich (ca. 45%) porous covalent imine network (CIN-1) material employing simple Schiff base chemistry and further grafting its surface with palladium. Pd-loaded CIN-1 support acts as a truly heterogeneous catalyst towards Suzuki C-C coupling reaction between aryl halides with arylboronic acids. High surface area and excellent accessibility of the catalytic sites make it very efficient for heterogeneous catalysis. The stability of the catalyst due to intimate contact between nitrogen-rich organic support and metal allows several reuses with only a minor loss in catalytic activity.
