A novel Pt/C‐catalyzed transfer hydrogenation reaction of p‐benzoquinone to produce p‐hydroquinone using cyclohexanone as an unexpectedly effective hydrogen source

A new method for the production of p‐hydroquinone via a Pt/C‐catalyzed reduction of p‐benzoquinone is developed. Different from the conventional transfer hydrogenation reactions that usually use secondary alcohols such as isopropanol as the hydrogen source, in this work, it is unexpectedly found that cyclohexanone is a more effective hydrogen source than secondary alcohols, even cyclohexanol. This reaction affords acceptable yields of p‐hydroquinone with very high turnover number (1109) of the Pt/C catalyst. A mechanism of this interesting reaction is proposed on the basis of the results of a series of control experiments, GC–MS analysis as well as dynamic studies.     

Microwave-Assisted Chemoselective Regeneration of Carbonyl Compounds from Oximes by Silica Chromate/WET SiO2 Under Solvent-Free Conditions

An Easy Access to Oxime Ethers by Pd‐Catalyzed C—O Cross‐Coupling of Activated Aryl Bromides with Ketoximes and Chalcone Oximes

An efficient Pd‐catalyzed method for C—O cross‐coupling of ketoximes and chalcone oximes with activated aryl bromides and bromo‐chalcones has been developed. All oxime ethers were obtained in good to excellent yields by [(π‐allyl)PdCl]₂/tBuXPhos ( L7 ) catalyst system. TrixiePhos ( L11 ) was also found to be effective for the oxime coupling. This method offers an easy and smooth coupling of chalcone oximes with activated aryl bromides and bromo‐chalcones, which has not been previously explored.

Synthesis of sugar oxime ether surfactants

A straightforward synthesis of a novel class of sugar surfactants is described. The key step is the chemoselective condensation of a hydrophobic alkoxyamine with the resident aldehyde/ketone moiety on a hydrophilic sugar. Neither protection/deprotection of the sugars nor extensive product purification is required. The method allows for the facile adjustment of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains of the sugar oxime ether surfactant and uses inexpensive, readily accessible, and renewable materials.

Transformation of Oximes and Alcohols to Carbonyl Compounds Using Amberlite IRA-400 Supported Chromic Acid in the Presence of Zirconium Tetrachloride

A wide variety of oximes and alcohols were efficiently converted to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good to excellent yields using amberlite IRA-400 supported chromic acid in the presence of zirconium tetrachloride in refluxing acetonitrile-H2O. Selective oxidation of oximes and alcohols in the presence of other functional groups such as acetal, hydrazone, aldehyde, ether and alkene can be considered as a noteworthy advantage of this method.
