Abstract
Sn-doped zeolites are potent Lewis acid catalysts for important reactions in the context of green and sustainable chemistry; however, their synthesis can have long reaction times and harsh chemical requirements, presenting an obstacle to scale-up and industrial application. To incorporate Sn into the β zeolite framework, solid-state incorporation (SSI) has recently been demonstrated as a fast and solvent-free synthetic method, with no impairment to the high activity and selectivity associated with Sn-β for its catalytic applications. Here, we report an ab initio computational study that combines periodic density functional theory with high-level embedded-cluster quantum/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) to elucidate the mechanistic steps in the synthetic process. Initially, once the Sn(II) acetate precursor coordinates to the β framework, acetic acid forms via a facile hydrogen transfer from the β framework onto the monodentate acetate ligand, with low kinetic barriers for subsequent dissociation of the ligand from the framework-bound Sn. Ketonization of the dissociated acetic acid can occur over the Lewis acidic Sn(II) site to produce CO2 and acetone with a low kinetic barrier (1.03 eV) compared to a gas-phase process (3.84 eV), helping to explain product distributions in good accordance with experimental analysis. Furthermore, we consider the oxidation of the Sn(II) species to form the Sn(IV) active site in the material by O2- and H2O-mediated mechanisms. The kinetic barrier for oxidation via H2 release is 3.26 eV, while the H2O-mediated dehydrogenation process has a minimum barrier of 1.38 eV, which indicates the possible role of residual H2O in the experimental observations of SSI synthesis. However, we find that dehydrogenation is facilitated more significantly by the presence of dioxygen (O2), introduced in the compressed air gas feed, via a two-step process oxidation process that forms H2O2 as an intermediate and has greatly reduced kinetic barriers of 0.25 and 0.26 eV. The results provide insight into how Sn insertion into β occurs during SSI and demonstrate the possible mechanism of top-down synthetic procedures for metal insertion into zeolites.

The Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation of Cycloketones Using Hydrogen Peroxide as an Oxidant. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
Baeyer–Villiger oxidation can synthesize a series of esters or lactones that have essential application value but are difficult to be synthesized by other methods. Cycloketones can be oxidized to lactones using molecular oxygen, peroxy acids, or hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the environmental oxidants. Because of the weak oxidation ability of hydrogen peroxide, Bronsted acids and Lewis acids are used as catalysts to activate hydrogen peroxide or the carbonyl of ketones to increase the nucleophilic performance of hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic mechanisms of Bronsted acids and Lewis acids differ in the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant.

Abstract
The retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose is a complex reaction of industrial relevance, which provides a potentially sustainable route for the production of α-hydroxyester compounds of relevance to the green polymer industry, such as methyl lactate and methyl vinyl glycolate. Although the zeolite catalyst, Sn-Beta, has shown itself to be a promising catalyst for this process, important information concerning the stability of the catalyst during continuous operation is not yet known, and improvements to its yield of retro-aldol products are also essential. Here, we perform detailed spectroscopic studies of a selection of Sn-Beta catalysts and evaluate their performances for the retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose under continuous processing conditions, with the dual aims of developing new structure-activity-lifetime relationships for the reaction and maximizing the productivity and selectivity of the process. Kinetic studies are performed under both established reaction conditions and in the presence of additional promoters, including water and alkali salts. Generally, this study demonstrates that the reaction conditions and choice of catalyst cannot be optimized in isolation, since each catalyst explored in this study responds differently to each particular process perturbation. However, by evaluating each type of the Sn-Beta catalyst under each set of reaction conditions, we reveal that postsynthetic Sn-Beta catalysts exhibit the best levels of performance when activity, selectivity, and stability are taken into account. Specifically, the best levels of performance are obtained with a postsynthetic Sn-Beta catalyst that is preactivated in a flow of methanol prior to reaction, which provides α-hydroxyester yields over 90% at the early stages of continuous operation and operates at high yield and selectivity for over 60 h on stream. Space-time-yields over two orders of magnitude higher than any previously reported for this reaction are achieved, setting a new benchmark in terms of the retro-aldol fragmentation of glucose.

Abstract
Stability studies dedicated to high-energy compounds for a series of linear peracids (C6–C12), including sensitivity to mechanical impulse (shock and friction), as well as electrical (spark) and thermal sensitivity (temperature and heat of decomposition), were presented in this work for the first time. Studies revealed that all peracids were insensitive to shock, while in the case of the other sensitivity tests sharp differences between results for C8 and C10 peracids were observed. Taking into account the relatively high initial temperature of decomposition (above 64 °C) perdecanoic acid was selected as a safe alternative to commonly used hazardous short-chain peracids. Next, a new method for the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation was presented. Oxidation of 2-adamantanone was chosen as a model reaction. Peroctanoic, perdecanoic and perdodecanoic acids were tested as oxidants. Peroctanoic acid was the most reactive but taking into account both safety and kinetic issues, perdecanoic acid was selected for the further studies. The influence of reaction conditions on reaction rate was investigated. Optimized reaction conditions were suggested (two-fold molar excess of peracid with respect to the ketone, toluene as a solvent, 35 °C). This exploratory study offers promise with regard to the development of safer alternatives to peracetic acid in industrial oxidation. Stability studies dedicated to high-energy compounds for a series of linear peracids (C6–C12), including sensitivity to mechanical impulse, electrical and thermal sensitivity, were presented in this work for the first time.![]()

Abstract
Biotechnological processes are typically perceived to be greener than chemical processes. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed to compare the chemical and biochemical synthesis of lactones obtained by Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. The LCA is prospective (based on experiments at a small scale with primary data) because the process is at an early stage. The results show that the synthesis route has no significant effect on the climate change impact [(1.65±0.59) kgCO 2 gproduct -1 vs. (1.64±0.67) kgCO 2 gproduct -1 ]. Key process performance metrics affecting the environmental impact were evaluated by performing a sensitivity analysis. Recycling of solvents and enzyme were shown to provide an advantage to the enzymatic synthesis. Additionally, the climate change impact was decreased by 71 % if renewable electricity was used. The study shows that comparative LCAs can be used to usefully support decisions at an early stage of process development.

Abstract
Porous silicates containing dilute amounts of tri-, tetra- and penta-valent metal sites, such as TS-1, Sn-β and Fe-ZSM-5, have recently emerged as state of the art catalysts for a variety of sustainable chemical transformations. In contrast with their aluminosilicate cousins, which are widely employed throughout the refinery industry for gas-phase catalytic transformations, such metallosilicates have exhibited unprecedented levels of performance for a variety of liquid-phase catalytic processes, including the conversion of biomass to chemicals, and sustainable oxidation technologies with H2O2. However, despite their unique levels of performance for these new types of chemical transformations, increased utilization of these promising materials is complicated by several factors. For example, their utilization in a liquid, and often polar, medium hinders process intensification (scale-up, catalyst deactivation). Moreover, such materials do not generally exhibit the active-site homogeneity of conventional aluminosilicates, and they typically possess a wide variety of active-site ensembles, only some of which may be directly involved in the catalytic chemistry of interest. Consequently, mechanistic understanding of these catalysts remains relatively low, and competitive reactions are commonly observed. Accordingly, unified approaches towards developing more active, selective and stable porous metallosilicates have not yet been achieved. Drawing on some of the most recent literature in the field, the purpose of this mini review is both to highlight the breakthroughs made with regard to the use of porous metallosilicates as heterogeneous catalysts for liquid-phase processing, and to highlight the pertaining challenges that we, and others, aim to overcome during the forthcoming years.
