Organocatalytic asymmetric tandem Michael-Henry reactions: a highly stereoselective synthesis of multifunctionalized cyclohexanes with two quaternary stereocenters

A novel organocatalytic asymmetric tandem Michael-Henry reaction catalyzed by 9-amino-9-deoxyepiquinine (VI) has been developed. The reaction was efficiently catalyzed by catalyst VI to give highly functionalized cyclohexanes with four stereogenic carbons including two quaternary stereocenters in excellent enantioselectivities (97 to >99% ee) and high diastereoselectivities (93:7-99:1 dr). Thus, the first organocatalytic asymmetric Henry reaction of common ketones as acceptors is shown.     

Accelerated Multi-step Sulfur Redox Reactions in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by Dual Defects in Metal-Organic Framework-based Catalysts

The sluggish sulfur redox kinetics and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are recognized as the main obstacles to the practical applications of the lithium-sulfur (Li−S) batteries. Accelerated conversion by catalysis can mitigate these issues, leading to enhanced Li−S performance. However, a catalyst with single active site cannot simultaneously accelerate multiple LiPSs conversion. Herein, we developed a novel dual-defect (missing linker and missing cluster defects) metal–organic framework (MOF) as a new type of catalyst to achieve synergistic catalysis for the multi-step conversion reaction of LiPSs. Electrochemical tests and first-principle density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that different defects can realize targeted acceleration of stepwise reaction kinetics for LiPSs. Specifically, the missing linker defects can selectively accelerate the conversion of S₈→Li₂S₄, while the missing cluster defects can catalyze the reaction of Li₂S₄→Li₂S, so as to effectively inhibit the shuttle effect. Hence, the Li−S battery with an electrolyte to sulfur (E/S) ratio of 8.9 mL g⁻¹ delivers a capacity of 1087 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.2 C after 100 cycles. Even at high sulfur loading of 12.9 mg cm⁻² and E/S=3.9 mL g⁻¹, an areal capacity of 10.4 mAh cm⁻² for 45 cycles can still be obtained.     

Pd/Ni Co-catalyzed Selective Cross-Coupling of Aryl Bromides and Aryl Fluorosulfonates at Room Temperature

Multimetallic catalysis can effectively enhance the selectivity for the heterocoupling product over homocoupling products in cross-electrophilic couplings. We report the selective cross-coupling of aryl bromides with aryl fluorosulfonates via palladium and nickel cooperative catalysis for the synthesis of biaryls, which can be carried out at room temperature while having marvelous chemoselectivity. In addition, the reaction also has a good performance on the gram-scale reaction.     

Synthesis of amidolanthanides with new chiral biaryl-based NNO ligands and their use as catalysts for enantioselective hydroamination/cyclization

A new series of amidolanthanides have been prepared from the reactions between Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 and the chiral NNO ligands, (S)-2-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyleneamino)-2'-hydroxy-6,6'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (2H2) and (S)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-2-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyleneamino)-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl (3H2), which are synthesized from the condensation of pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde with 1 equiv of (S)-2-amino-2'-hydroxy-6,6'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl or (S)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-2-amino-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl, in the presence of molecular sieves at 70 degrees C, respectively. Treatment of 2H2 with 1 equiv of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 (Ln=Sm, Yb) in toluene under reflux, followed by recrystallization from a toluene solution, gives the dimeric amido complexes, {2-SmN(SiMe3)2}2.0.5C7H8 (6.0.5C7H8) and {2-YbN(SiMe3)2} 2.1.5C7H8(8.1.5C7H8), in good yields. While under similar reaction conditions, the reaction of 2H2 with 1 equiv of Y[N(SiMe3)2]3 leads to the isolation of a mixture of {2-YN(SiMe3)2}2 (7a) and {(2)2Y}Y[N(SiMe3)2]2(7b) in 82% total yield; the reaction of 3H2 with 1 equiv of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 (Ln=Y, Yb) gives the trinuclear complexes, {(3)2Ln}2LnN(SiMe3) 2.1.5C7H8 (Ln=Y(9.1.5C7H8), Yb(10.1.5C7H8)), in good yields. All compounds have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The solid-state structures of compounds 2H2 and 6- 10 have been further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses. Complexes 6- 9 are active catalysts for the asymmetric hydroamination/cyclization of aminoalkenes, affording cyclic amines in good yields with moderate ee values.     

Facile preparation of nitrogen-doped porous carbon for high performance symmetric supercapacitor

In this work, the micromolecule l-glutamic acid (Glu) is employed as nitrogen-rich precursor to prepare a novel porous carbon, and ZnCl₂ is used as activating agent to improve the surface area and electrochemical performance of the carbon. The nitrogen content of the carbon (Glu-2.5) prepared by Glu and ZnCl₂ with a mass ratio of 1:2.5 retains as high as 7.1 % at an activation temperature of 700 °C. The surface area and pore volume of Glu-2.5 are 1007.4 m² g^?1 and 0.57 cm³ g^?1, respectively. Glu-2.5 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 330.6 F g^?1 in 2 M KOH electrolyte at the current density of 1 A g^?1and good cycling stability (89 % retention of capacitance after 5000 charge/discharge cycles). More importantly, the assembled symmetric supercapacitor using Glu-2.5 as electrodes reveals a high energy density (16.7 Wh kg^?1) under the power density of 404.7 W kg^?1. Owing to its inherent advantages, Glu-2.5 could be a promising and scalable alternative applied to energy storage/conversion.
