Multifunctional Heterogeneous Cobalt Catalyst for the One-Pot Synthesis of Benzimidazoles by Reductive Coupling of Dinitroarenes with Aldehydes in Water. CHEMSUSCHEM 2025; 18:e202402141. [PMID: 39651548 PMCID: PMC11997933 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202402141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2024] [Revised: 11/29/2024] [Accepted: 12/08/2024] [Indexed: 12/11/2024]
Abstract
The endeavor of sustainable chemistry has led to significant advancements in green methodologies aimed at minimizing environmental impact while maximizing efficiency. Herein, a straightforward synthesis of benzimidazoles by reductive coupling of o-dinitroarenes with aldehydes is reported for the first time in aqueous media while using a non-noble metal catalyst. This work demonstrates that the combination of nitrogen and phosphorous ligands in the synthesis of supported heteroatom-incorporated Co nanoparticles is crucial for obtaining the desired benzimidazoles. The process achieves >99 % conversion, >99 % chemoselectivity and stability for the reduction of dinitroarenes using water as the solvent and hydrogen as the reductant under mild reaction conditions. The robustness of the catalyst has been investigated using several advanced techniques such as HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, XEDS, EELS, and NAP-XPS. In fact, we have shown that the introduction of N and P dopants prevents metal leaching and the sintering of the cobalt nanoparticles. Finally, to explore the general catalytic performance, a wide range of substituted dinitroarenes and benzaldehydes were evaluated, yielding benzimidazoles with competitive and scalable results, including MBIB (94 % yield), which is a compound of pharmaceutical interest.

Abstract
Despite their significant importance in numerous fields, the challenges in direct and diverse synthesis of γ-amino-α-hydroxybutyric acids (AHBAs) pose substantial obstacles to explore their functions. Here, by preparation of a N-doped carbon-supported bifunctional cobalt catalyst (Co-DAPhen/C), it was applied to develop a reductive tandem reaction for general synthesis of AHBA derivatives from cheap and abundant nitroarenes, formaldehyde, and acrylates. This catalytic three-component reaction features broad substrate and functionality tolerance, an easily accessible and reusable catalyst, and high step and atom economy. The active Co sites of the catalyst are involved in the mild reduction processes with formic acid, whereas the N-doped carbon support enriches the HCHO and acrylates by physical adsorption, thus favoring the capture of hydroxylamine and nitrone intermediates via condensation and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, respectively. Such a metal-support synergy interrupts the conventional reduction of nitroarenes into anilines and results in a novel tandem reaction route. In this work, the concept merging mild reduction and effective intermediate transformations is anticipated to develop more useful tandem reactions by rational catalyst design.

Abstract
Iron, one of the most abundant elements on earth and an essential element for living organisms, plays a crucial role in our daily metabolism. In the field of catalysis, the development of high-performance catalysts based on less toxic iron element is also of significant importance for green chemistry and a sustainable future. To construct Fe-based heterogeneous catalysts with excellent hydrogenation performance, precise modulation of the atomic coordination structure is a key strategy for enhancing catalytic activity. In this study, we present an in-situ coating method for applying a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) onto the surface of fungal hyphae. The asymmetric coordination structure of Fe1-N3P1 was precisely tailored by utilizing the phosphorus source from the fungus and the nitrogen source in the ZIFs. Detailed characterizations and density functional theory calculations revealed that the incorporation of ZIFs not only increased the specific surface area of catalysts, but also facilitated the dispersion of Fe2P nanoparticles into the Fe1-N3P1 center, making the lowest reaction energy barrier and resulting in the best performance for nitrobenzene hydrogenation when compared to the Fe2P nanoparticles and clusters. This research introduces a novel design concept for constructing asymmetric monoatomic configuration based on the inherent characteristics of natural microorganisms and the exogenous porous coordination polymers.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation has been employed extensively to produce value-added chemicals and fuels, greatly alleviating the problems of fossil resources and green synthesis. However, the design and synthesis of highly efficient catalysts, especially those that are inexpensive and abundant in the earth's crust, is still required for basic research and subsequent industrial applications. In recent years, many studies have revealed that the rational design and synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts can efficaciously improve the catalytic performance of hydrogenation reactions. However, the relationship between nonprecious metal catalysts and hydrogenation performance from the perspective of different catalytic systems still remains to be understood. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of the recent advances in the synthesis of nonprecious metal catalysts for heterogeneous selective hydrogenation reactions including thermocatalytic hydrogenation/transfer hydrogenation, photocatalytic hydrogenation and electrocatalytic reduction. In addition, we also aim to provide a clear picture of the recent design strategies and proposals for the nonprecious metal catalysed hydrogenation reactions. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future research opportunities for the precise design and synthesis of nonprecious metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
Earth-abundant manganese oxides (MnOx) were competitive candidates when screening catalysts for ammoxidation of alcohols into nitriles due to their redox property. However, over-oxidation and possible acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of nitriles into amides still limited the application of MnOx in nitrile synthesis. In this work, manganese carbodiimide (MnNCN) was first reported to be robust for the ammoxidation of alcohols into nitriles, avoiding over-oxidation and the hydrolysis. Besides the high activity and selectivity, MnNCN demonstrated wide substrate scope including the ammoxidation of primary alcohols into nitriles, the oxidative C-C bonds cleavage and ammoxidation of secondary alcohols, phenyl substituted aliphatic alcohols, and diols into nitriles. Controlled experiments and DFT calculation results revealed that the excellent catalytic performance of MnNCN originated from its high ability in the activation of O2 molecules, and favorable oxidative dehydrogenation of C=N bonds in the aldimine intermediates (RCH=NH) into nitriles, inhibiting the competitive side reaction of the oxidation of aldehydes into carboxylic acids, followed to amide byproducts. Moreover, the hydrolysis of nitriles was also inhibited over MnNCN for its weak acidity as compared with MnOx. This study provided new insights into Mn-catalyzed aerobic oxidations as a highly important complement to manganese oxides.

Abstract
Despite their significant importance, the challenges in direct and diverse synthesis of N-heterocyclic γ-amino acids/esters/ketones hamper exploration of their applications. Herein, by developing a multifunctional heterogeneous iridium single-atom catalyst composed of silica-confined iridium species and a boron-doped ZrO2 support (Ir-SAs@B-ZrO2/SiO2), we describe its utility in establishing a new reductive coupling reaction of N-heteroarenes and 1,2-dicarbonyls for selective and diverse construction of the as-described compounds in a straightforward manner. The striking features, including good substrate and functionality tolerance, high step and atom economy, exceptional catalyst reusability, and diversified product post-transformations, highlight the practicality of the developed chemistry. Mechanistic studies reveal that the synergy between the active Ir sites and acidic support favors a chemoselective reduction of the more inert N-heteroarenes and affords requisite enamine intermediates. In this work, the concept on precise transformation of reductive intermediates will open a door to further develop useful tandem reactions by rational catalyst design.

Abstract
Flow hydrogenation performed over heterogeneous catalysts makes organic synthesis more economical, safe and environmentally friendly. Over the past two decades, a significant amount of research with a major focus on noble metal catalysts has been carried out in this area. However, catalysts based on non-noble metals (Ni, Cu, Co, etc.) are more promising for practical use due to their low cost and high availability. This review article discusses the use of supported and bulk non-noble metal catalysts for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of bi- and polyfunctional organic compounds in flow mode. The main attention is paid to the selective reduction of one functional group (NO2, CC, CN, CO, and CN) in the presence of other substituents. In addition, cascade synthetic protocols involving hydrogenation are presented.

Abstract
The activation of molecule hydrogen (H2) by metal-free catalysts is always a challenge in the field of catalysis. Herein, a series of N, P dual-doped carbon catalysts were constructed by the pyrolysis of chitosan and phytic acid and utilized as metal-free catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. The characterization indicated that the doping of phosphorus atoms not only formed the species with catalytic activity for hydrogenation reaction but also promoted the doping of N. The experimental results indicated that their catalytic performance could be improved by the regulation of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate. CP-900-1 (pyrolysis at 900 °C with a heating rate of 1 °C/min) exhibited a promising catalytic activity with >99% nitrobenzene conversion. N, P codoping was the key factor to its catalytic performance. All results indicated that the excellent catalytic activity of CP-900-1 was attributed to the synergistic interaction among pyridinic N, P-C species, and graphitic N. This work provides an effective route for the rational design and construction of highly efficient metal-free catalysts for hydrogenation.

Abstract
The in-depth study on reduction-specified coupling reactions of the nitroarenes by heterogeneous cobalt catalysis opens a door for diversified syntheses of functional N-containing molecules. Guided by the structure-function relationship of heterogeneous materials, rational design of nano-catalysts can effectively regulate the routes of organic reactions. Precise transformation of the intermediates generated during the nitroarene reduction with a suitable nano-catalyst is a promising way to develop new tandem reactions, and to synthesize structurally novel compounds that are of difficult access with the conventional approaches.

Abstract
Reducing nitro compounds to amines is a fundamental reaction in producing valuable chemicals in industry. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of a zirconium metal-organic framework-supported salicylaldimine-cobalt(II) chloride (salim-UiO-CoCl) and its application in catalytic reduction of nitro compounds are reported. Salim-UiO-Co displayed excellent catalytic activity in chemoselective reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines in the presence of phenylsilane as a reducing agent under mild reaction conditions. Salim-UiO-Co catalyzed nitro reduction had a broad substrate scope with excellent tolerance to diverse functional groups, including easily reducible ones such as aldehyde, keto, nitrile, and alkene. Salim-UiO-Co MOF catalyst could be recycled and reused at least 14 times without noticeable losing activity and selectivity. Density functional theory (DFT) studies along with spectroscopic analysis were employed to get into a comprehensive investigation of the reaction mechanism. This work underscores the significance of MOF-supported single-site base-metal catalysts for the sustainable and cost-effective synthesis of chemical feedstocks and fine chemicals.

Abstract
Hydrogenation reactions play a critical role in the synthesis of value-added products within the chemical industry. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) using water as the hydrogen source has emerged as an alternative to conventional thermocatalytic processes for sustainable and decentralized chemical synthesis under mild conditions. Among the various ECH catalysts, copper-based (Cu-based) nanomaterials are promising candidates due to their earth-abundance, unique electronic structure, versatility, and high activity/selectivity. Herein, recent advances in the application of Cu-based catalysts in ECH reactions for the upgrading of valuable chemicals are systematically analyzed. The unique properties of Cu-based catalysts in ECH are initially introduced, followed by design strategies to enhance their activity and selectivity. Then, typical ECH reactions on Cu-based catalysts are presented in detail, including carbon dioxide reduction for multicarbon generation, alkyne-to-alkene conversion, selective aldehyde conversion, ammonia production from nitrogen-containing substances, and amine production from organic nitrogen compounds. In these catalysts, the role of catalyst composition and nanostructures toward different products is focused. The co-hydrogenation of two substrates (e.g., CO2 and NOx n, SO3 2-, etc.) via C─N, C─S, and C─C cross-coupling reactions are also highlighted. Finally, the critical issues and future perspectives of Cu-catalyzed ECH are proposed to accelerate the rational development of next-generation catalysts.

Abstract
Despite their significant importance to numerous fields, the difficulties in direct and diverse synthesis of α-hydroxy-γ-lactams pose substantial obstacles to their practical applications. Here, we designed a nitrogen and TiO2 co-doped graphitic carbon-supported material with atomically dispersed cobalt sites (CoSA-N/NC-TiO2), which was successfully applied as a multifunctional catalyst to establish a general method for direct construction of α-hydroxy-γ-lactams from cheap and abundant nitro(hetero)arenes, aldehydes, and H2O with alkynoates. The striking features of operational simplicity, broad substrate and functionality compatibility (>100 examples), high step and atom efficiency, good selectivity, and exceptional catalyst reusability highlight the practicality of this new catalytic transformation. Mechanistic studies reveal that the active CoN4 species and the dopants exhibit a synergistic effect on the formation of key acid-masked nitrones; their subsequent nucleophilic addition to the alkynoates followed by successive reduction, alkenyl hydration, and intramolecular ester ammonolysis delivers the desired products. In this work, the concept of reduction interruption leading to new reaction route will open a door to further develop useful transformations by rational catalyst design.

Abstract
Branched metal chalcogenide nanostructures with well-defined composition and configuration are appealing photocatalysts for solar-driven organic transformations. However, precise design and controlled synthesis of such nanostructures still remain a great challenge. Herein, we report the construction of a variety of highly symmetrical metal sulfides and heterostructured icosapods based on them, in which twenty branches were radially grown in spatially ordered arrangement, with a high degree of structure homogeneity. Impressively, the as-obtained CdS-PdxS icosapods manifest a significantly improved photocatalytic activity for the selective oxidation of biomass-relevant alcohols into corresponding aldehydes coupled with H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation (>420 nm), and the apparent quantum yield of the benzyl alcohol reforming can be achieved as high as 31.4% at 420 nm. The photoreforming process over the CdS-PdxS icosapods is found to be directly triggered by the photogenerated electrons and holes without participation of radicals. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the fast charge separation and abundant active sites originating from the well-defined configuration and spatial organization of the components in the branched heterostructures.

Abstract
An unprecedented efficient protocol is developed for the oxidative cleavage of C≡C bonds in alkynes to produce structure-diverse esters using heterogeneous cobalt nanoparticles as catalyst with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. A diverse set of mono- and multisubstituted aromatic and aliphatic alkynes can be effectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding esters. Characterization analysis and control experiments indicate high surface area and pore volume, as well as nanostructured nitrogen-doped graphene-layer coated cobalt nanoparticles are possibly responsible for excellent catalytic activity. Mechanistic studies reveal that ketones derived from alkynes under oxidative conditions are formed as intermediates, which subsequently are converted to esters through a tandem sequential process. The catalyst can be recycled up to five times without significant loss of activity.

Abstract
Utilizing renewable biomass as a substitute for fossil resources to produce high-value chemicals with a low carbon footprint is an effective strategy for achieving a carbon-neutral society. Production of chemicals via single-atom catalysis is an attractive proposition due to its remarkable selectivity and high atomic efficiency. In this work, a supramolecular-controlled pyrolysis strategy is employed to fabricate a palladium single-atom (Pd1 /BNC) catalyst with B-doped Pd-Nx atomic configuration. Owing to the meticulously tailored local coordination microenvironment, the as-synthesized Pd1 /BNC catalyst exhibits remarkable conversion capability for a wide range of biomass-derived aldehydes/ketones. Thorough characterizations and density functional theory calculations reveal that the highly polar metal-N-B site, formed between the central Pd single atom and its adjacent N and B atoms, promotes hydrogen activation from the donor (reductants) and hydrogen transfer to the acceptor (C═O group), consequently leading to exceptional selectivity. This system can be further extended to directly synthesize various aromatic and furonic amines from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, with their greenhouse gas emission potentials being negative in comparison to those of fossil-fuel resource-based amines. This research presents a highly effective and sustainable methodology for constructing C─N bonds, enabling the production of a diverse array of amines from carbon-neutral biomass resources.

Abstract
Hierarchical porosity of carbonates can facilitate their performance in massive applications as compared to their corresponding bulk samples. Traditional solution-based precipitation is typically utilized to fabricate porous carbonates. However, this tactic is generally employed under humid conditions, which demand soluble metal precursors, solvents, and extended dry periods. A salt-assisted mechanochemistry is exploited in contemporary work to settle the shortcomings. Enlighted by solid-state technology, this approach eliminates the utilization of solvents, and the process of ball milling can create pores in 5 min. A range of highly porous carbonates and their derivatives are acquired, with several materials surpassing recording surface areas (e.g., H-CaCO3: 108 m2/g, SrCO3: 125 m2/g, BaCO3: 172 m2/g, Pd/H-CaCO3 catalyst: 101 m2/g). The results display that Pd/H-CaCO3 shows superior catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of aniline (turnover frequency [TON] = 1.33 × 104/h-1, yield ≥ 99%, and recycle stability: 11 cycles) and dye degradation. Combining mechanochemistry and salt-assisted tactic provides a facile and efficient pathway for processing porous materials.

Abstract
Despite the extensive applications, selective and diverse access to N,N'-diarylethane-1,2-diamines remains, to date, a challenge. Here, by developing a bifunctional cobalt single-atom catalyst (CoSA-N/NC), we present a general method for direct synthesis of such compounds via selective reductive coupling of cheap and abundant nitroarenes and formaldehyde, featuring good substrate and functionality compatibility, an easily accessible base metal catalyst with excellent reusability, and high step and atom efficiency. Mechanistic studies reveal that the N-anchored cobalt single atoms (CoN4) serve as the catalytically active sites for the reduction processes, the N-doped carbon support enriches the HCHO to timely trap the in situ formed hydroxyamines and affords the requisite nitrones under weak alkaline conditions, and the subsequent inverse electron demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrones and imines followed by hydrodeoxygenation of the cycloadducts furnishes the products. In this work, the concept of catalyst-controlled nitroarene reduction to in situ create specific building blocks is anticipated to develop more useful chemical transformations.

Abstract
Exploring eco-friendly and cost-effective strategies for structure engineering at the nanoscale is important for boosting heterogeneous catalysis but still under a long-standing challenge. Herein, multifunctional polyphenol tannic acid, a low-cost natural biomass containing catechol and galloyl species, was employed as a green reducing agent, chelating agent, and stabilizer to prepare Au nanoparticles, which were dispersed on different-shaped CeO2 supports (e.g., rod, flower, cube, and octahedral). Systematic characterizations revealed that Au/CeO2-rod had the highest oxygen vacancy density and Ce(III) proportion, favoring the dispersion and stabilization of the metal active sites. Using isopropanol as a hydrogen-transfer reagent, deep insights into the structure-activity relationship of the Au/CeO2 catalysts with various morphologies of CeO2 in the catalytic nitrobenzene transfer hydrogenation reaction were gained. Notably, the catalytic performance followed the order: Au/CeO2-rod (110), (100), (111) > Au/CeO2-flower (100), (111) > Au/CeO2-cube (100) > Au/CeO2-octa (111). Au/CeO2-rod displayed the highest conversion of 100% nitrobenzene and excellent stability under optimal conditions. Moreover, DFT calculations indicated that nitrobenzene molecules had a suitable adsorption energy and better isopropanol dehydrogenation capacity on the Au/CeO2 (110) surface. A reaction pathway and the synergistic catalytic mechanism for catalytic nitrobenzene transfer hydrogenation are proposed based on the results. This work demonstrates that CeO2 structure engineering is an efficient strategy for fabricating advanced and environmentally benign materials for nitrobenzene hydrogenation.

Abstract
The controlled pyrolysis of metal/carbon-containing precursors is commonly used for fabricating multifunctional metal/carbon-based catalysts, nevertheless, the inevitable agglomeration of these precursors in pyrolysis is extremely negative for efficient catalysis. This study reports the first example of suppressing the interfacial fusion and agglomeration of metal/carbon-based catalyst in its pyrolysis-involved fabrication process by developing a facile morphology-engineering strategy. Metal-organic framework precursors are chosen as a proof of concept and five Co/N-doped hollow carbons with different morphologies (rhombic dodecahedron, cube, plate, interpenetration twin, and rod) are synthesized via the pyrolysis of their corresponding core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 precursors. It is demonstrated that the interpenetration twin precursor shows the minimum interfacial contact of interparticles due to its partly-concave morphology with abundant facets, which endows it with the best resistibility from interfacial fusion and thus aggregation of interparticles during pyrolysis. Benefiting from its unique anti-aggregated structure with high specific surface area, abundant fully-exposed active sites, and good dispersibility, the resultant 36-facet Co/N-doped hollow carbon exhibit remarkably improved catalytic property for biomass upgrading as compared with its aggregated counterparts. This study highlights the crucial role of engineering morphology to prevent metal/carbon-containing precursors from detrimental agglomeration during pyrolysis, demonstrating a new approach to constructing anti-aggregated metal/carbon-based catalysts.

Abstract
The control of morphology, structure and composition of metal-organic frameworks derived metal-nitrogen doped porous carbon (M-N-C) with high precision and accuracy is essential for the catalytic performance. While single-atom or small-sized nanometer catalysts show notable effects in catalysis, one catalyst combining the advantages of single-atom and nanometer catalysts may cultivate more benefits. Herein, we designed and successfully fabricated a series of Fe-doped ZIF-x with different morphologies (cube→truncated hexahedron→truncated octahedron) in one pot by simply adjusting the adding amount of vitamin C. After high-temperature calcination, Fe3C integrated with Fe single-atom planted in N-doped carbon (FeSA/FeNC-N-C-x) with various morphology, structure and composition could be acquired. Among them, FeSA/FeNC-N-C-0.75 exhibited the best catalytic performance for the transfer hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes with N2H4·H2O under room temperature. Acid-leaching tests, poisoning experiments, and the density functional theory calculations showed that Fe3C integrated with Fe single-atom had a better catalytic effect than the separated Fe3C or Fe single-atom.

Abstract
We communicate the assembly of a solid, Ce-promoted Ni-based composite that was applied as catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to afford the corresponding organic amines. The catalytically active material described herein was obtained through pyrolysis of a SiO2-pellet-supported bimetallic Ni-Ce complex that was readily synthesized prior to use from a MeO-functionalized salen congener, Ni(OAc)2·4 H2O, and Ce(NO3)3·6 H2O. Rewardingly, the requisite ligand for the pertinent solution phase precursor was accessible upon straightforward and time-saving imine condensation of ortho-vanillin with 1,3-diamino-2,2′-dimethylpropane. The introduced catalytic protocol is operationally simple in that the whole reaction set-up is quickly put together on the bench without the need of cumbersome handling in a glovebox or related containment systems. Moreover, the advantageous geometry and compact-sized nature of the used pellets renders the catalyst separation and recycling exceptionally easy.

Abstract
Nitroarene reduction has played a crucial role in the environment remediation and public health. However, few research studies have been undertaken regarding the use of infinite coordination polymer-based catalysts in this process. Herein, we are looking for a way to catalyze the reduction of nitroarenes using a new and well-designed coordination polymer-based palladium catalyst. The Co-BDC-NH2 coordination polymer was prepared through a co-precipitation reaction between 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid as a linker and the cobalt cation as a node. Functionalization of the prepared Co-BDC-NH2 with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and subsequent metallation with a Pd cation led to the formation of the final catalyst, i.e., Co-BDC-NH2-py-Pd. It has been specified that palladium species substantially contribute to the reduction of nitroarenes in the presence of hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O). The highest conversion (100%) of nitroarenes to the corresponding amines was achieved under relatively mild conditions. This heterogeneous catalyst was able to catalyze the reduction of nitroarenes to desired products without changing other substituents. The reusability and stability of the catalyst were confirmed through four consecutive reduction tests without a major decrease in catalytic activity.

Abstract
Currently, low intimacy between hydrogenation sites and acidic sites causes unsatisfactory catalytic activity and selectivity for the synthesis of 2,5-hexanedione from C6 furan aldehydes (5-methylfurfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural). Herein, iodine(I) modification of Pd-supported catalysts (such as PdI/Al2 O3 and PdI/SiO2 ) was investigated to modulate the hydrogenation sites and acidic sites. Unlike Pd catalysts that produced 71.4 % yield of 2-hydroxymethyl-5-methyl tetrahydrofuran via an overhydrogenation route of 5-methylfurfural, PdI catalysts showed a high efficiency for 2,5-hexanedione with 93.7 % yield by a hydrogenative ring-opening route. More importantly, the selective synthesis of 2,5-hexanedione from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with a high yield of 50.2 % by the hydrogenolysis and subsequent ring-opening route was reported for the first time. I-modified Pd nanoparticles produced in-situ hydrogen spillover, which promoted the selective C=O hydrogenation and ring-opening steps by regulating the adsorption configuration of the reactants and the transformation of Lewis to Brønsted acidity, respectively.

Abstract
Heterogeneous iron-based catalysts governing selectivity for the reduction of nitroarenes and aldehydes have received tremendous attention in the arena of catalysis, but relatively less success has been achieved. Herein, we report a green strategy for the facile synthesis of a lignin residue-derived carbon-supported magnetic iron (γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700) nanocatalyst. This active nanocatalyst exhibits excellent activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines, including pharmaceuticals (e.g., flutamide and nimesulide). Challenging and reducible functionalities such as halogens (e.g., chloro, iodo, and fluoro) and ketone, ester, and amide groups were tolerated. Moreover, biomass-derived aldehyde (e.g., furfural) and other aromatic aldehydes were also effective for the hydrogenation process, often useful in biomedical sciences and other important areas. Before and after the reaction, the γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700 nanocatalyst was thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally, the γ-Fe2O3/LRC-700 nanocatalyst is stable and easily separated using an external magnet and recycled up to five cycles with no substantial drop in the activity. Eventually, sustainable and green credentials for the hydrogenation reactions of 4-nitrobenzamide to 4-aminobenzamide and benzaldehyde to benzyl alcohol were assessed with the help of the CHEM21 green metrics toolkit.

Abstract
Paired electroreduction and electrooxidation of organics with water as a feedstock to produce value-added chemicals is meaningful. A comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanism is critical for the catalyst design and relative area development. Here, we have systematically studied the mechanism of the paired electroreduction and electrooxidation of organics on Fe-Mo-based phosphide heterojunctions. It is shown that active H* species for organic electroreduction originate from water. As for organic electrooxidation, among various oxygen species (OH*, OOH*, and O*), OH* free radicals derived from the first step of water dissociation are identified as active species. Furthermore, explicit reaction pathways and their paired advantages are proposed based on theoretical calculations. The paired electrolyzer powered by a solar cell shows a low voltage of 1.594 V at 100 mA cm-2, faradaic efficiency of ≥99%, and remarkable cycle stability. This work provides a guide for sustainable synthesis of various value-added chemicals via paired electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Reduction of nitroaromatics to the corresponding amines is a key process in the fine and bulk chemicals industry to produce polymers, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes. However, their effective and selective reduction requires high temperatures and pressurized hydrogen and involves noble metal-based catalysts. Here we report on an earth-abundant, plasmonic nano-photocatalyst, with an excellent reaction rate towards the selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics. With solar light as the only energy input, the chalcopyrite catalyst operates through the combined action of hot holes and photothermal effects. Ultrafast laser transient absorption and light-induced electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies have unveiled the energy matching of the hot holes in the valence band of the catalyst with the frontier orbitals of the hydrogen and electron donor, via a transient coordination intermediate. Consequently, the reusable and sustainable copper-iron-sulfide (CuFeS2) catalyst delivers previously unattainable turnover frequencies, even in large-scale reactions, while the cost-normalized production rate stands an order of magnitude above the state of the art.

Abstract
AbstractModifying the reactivity of substrates by encapsulation is essential for microenvironment catalysts. Herein, we report an alternative strategy that modifies the entry behaviour of reactants into the microenvironment and substrate inclusion thermodynamics related to the capsule to control the electron injection kinetics and the selectivity of products from the nitroarenes photoreduction. The strategy includes the orchestration of capsule openings to control the electron injection kinetics of electron donors, and the capsule’s pocket to encapsulate more than one nitroarene molecules, facilitating a condensation reaction between the in situ formed azanol and nitroso species to produce azo product. The conceptual microenvironment catalyst endows selective conversion of asymmetric azo products from different nitroarenes, wherein, the estimated diameter and inclusion Gibbs free energy of substrates are used to control and predict the selectivity of products. Inhibition experiments confirm a typical enzymatic conversion, paving a new avenue for rational design of photocatalysts toward green chemistry.

Abstract
Chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes to arylamines is a core technology for the synthesis of numerous chemicals. The technology, however, relies on applying precious noble metal catalysts. We present our findings on the development of robust nanoporous covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) as metal-free catalysts for the green chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes. The turnover frequency is found to be 43.03 h-1, exceeding activities of the heteroatom-doped carbon nanomaterials by a factor of 30. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and control experiments provide further insights into the nature of active species for prompt catalysis. This report confirms the importance of quaternary 'N' and 'F' atom functionalities to create active hydrogen species via charge delocalization as a critical step in improving the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts have received widespread attention for their fascinating performance in terms of metal atom efficiency as well as their special catalysis mechanisms compared to conventional catalysts. Here, we prepared a high-performance catalyst of single-Cu-atom-decorated boron nitride nanofibers (BNNF-Cu) via a facile calcination method. The as-prepared catalyst shows high catalytic activity and good stability for converting different nitro compounds into their corresponding amines both with and without photoexcitation. By combined studies of synchrotron radiation analysis, high-resolution high-angle annular dark-field transmission electron microscopy studies, and DFT calculations, dispersion and coordination of Cu atoms as well as their catalytic mechanisms are explored. The BNNF-Cu catalyst is found to have a record high turnover frequency compared to previously reported non-precious-metal-based catalysts. While the performance of the BNNF-Cu catalyst is only of the middle range level among the state-of-the-art precious-metal-based catalysts, due to the much lower cost of the BNNF-Cu catalyst, its cost efficiency is the highest among these catalysts. This work provides a choice of support material that can promote the development of single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Cascade reactions take advantage of step-saving and facile operation for obtaining chemicals. Herein, catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarene coupled condensation with β-diketone to afford β-ketoenamines is achieved by an integrated nanocatalyst, Pd-e@UiO-66. The catalyst has the structure of an acid-rich metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66-encapsulated electron-rich Pd nanoparticles, and it reconciles the electron-effect contradiction of cascade catalytic reactions: catalytic hydrogenation requires an electron-rich catalyst, while condensation requires electron-deficient Lewis acid sites. The catalyst showed good activity, high chemoselectivity, and universal applicability for the synthesis of β-ketoenamines using nitroarenes. More than 30 β-ketoenamines have been successfully prepared with up to 99% yield via the methodology of relay catalysis. The catalyst exhibited excellent stability to maintain its catalytic performance for more than five cycles. Furthermore, we conducted an in-depth exploration of the reaction mechanism with theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Transition metal single atom catalysts (SACs) with M1-Nx coordination configuration have shown outstanding activity and selectivity for hydrogenation of nitroarenes. Modulating the atomic coordination structure has emerged as a promising strategy to further improve the catalytic performance. Herein, we report an atomic Co1/NPC catalyst with unsymmetrical single Co1-N3P1 sites that displays unprecedentedly high activity and chemoselectivity for hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes. Compared to the most popular Co1-N4 coordination, the electron density of Co atom in Co1-N3P1 is increased, which is more favorable for H2 dissociation as verified by kinetic isotope effect and density functional theory calculation results. In nitrobenzene hydrogenation reaction, the as-synthesized Co1-N3P1 SAC exhibits a turnover frequency of 6560 h-1, which is 60-fold higher than that of Co1-N4 SAC and one order of magnitude higher than the state-of-the-art M1-Nx-C SACs in literatures. Furthermore, Co1-N3P1 SAC shows superior selectivity (>99%) toward many substituted nitroarenes with co-existence of other sensitive reducible groups. This work is an excellent example of relationship between catalytic performance and the coordination environment of SACs, and offers a potential practical catalyst for aromatic amine synthesis by hydrogenation of nitroarenes.

Abstract
We report on the manufacture of a state-of-the-art heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst, which is based on a molecularly well-defined phosphine-tagged cobalt corrole complex. This precursor compound is readily synthesized from convenient starting materials while the active material is obtained through wet-impregnation of the pertinent metalliferous macrocycle onto carbon black followed by controlled pyrolysis of the loaded carrier material under an inert gas atmosphere. Thus, the obtained composite was then applied in the heterogeneous hydrogenation of various nitroarenes to yield a vast array of valuable aniline derivatives that were conveniently isolated as their hydrochloride salts. The introduced catalytic protocol is robust and user-friendly with the entire assembly of the reaction set-up enabling the conduction of the experiments on the laboratory bench without any protection from air.

Abstract
Hydrogen (H2) is widely used as a reductant for many hydrogenation reactions; however, it has not been recognized as a catalyst for the acid transformation of active sites on solid surface. Here, we report the H2-promoted hydration of alkenes (such as styrenes and cyclic alkenes) and epoxy alkanes over single-atom Co-dispersed nitrogen-doped carbon (Co-NC) via a transformation mechanism of acid-base sites. Specifically, the specific catalytic activity and selectivity of Co-NC are superior to those of classical solid acids (acidic zeolites and resins) per micromole of acid, whereas the hydration catalysis does not take place under a nitrogen atmosphere. Detailed investigations indicate that H2 can be heterolyzed on the Co-N bond to form Hδ--Co-N-Hδ+ and then be converted into OHδ--Co-N-Hδ+ accompanied by H2 generation via a H2O-mediated path, which significantly reduces the activation energy for hydration reactions. This work not only provides a novel catalytic method for hydration reactions but also removes the conceptual barriers between hydrogenation and acid catalysis.

Abstract
A novel Co/Ni bimetallic nanoparticle supported by nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC), Co5/Ni@NPC-700, exhibits high conversion, chemoselectivity, and recyclability in the hydrogenation of 16 different nitro compounds into desired amines with hydrazine hydrate under mild conditions. The synergistic effects of Co/Ni bimetal nanoparticles and the NPC-supported porous honeycomb structure with more accessible active sites may be responsible for the high catalytic hydrogenation performance.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing compounds, as an important class of chemicals, have been used widely in pharmaceuticals, materials synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed reductive amination of an aldehyde or a ketone with ammonia or an amine has been proved to be an efficient and practical method for the preparation of nitrogen-containing compounds in academia and industry for a century. Given the above, several effective methods using transition metals have been developed in recent years. Noble transition metals like Pd, Pt, and Au-based catalysts have been predominately used in reductive amination. Because of their high prices, strict official regulations of residues in pharmaceuticals, and deleterious effects on the biological system, their industrial applications are severely hampered. With the increasing sustainable and environmental problems, the Earth-abundant transition metals including Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, and Zr have also been investigated for the reductive amination reaction and showed great potential to the advancement of sustainable and cost-effective reductive amination processes. This critical review will mainly summarize the work using Earth-abundant metals. The effects of different transition metals used in catalytic reduction amination were discussed and compared, and some suggestions were given. The last section highlights the catalytic activities of bi- and tri-metallic catalysts. Indeed, this latter family is very promising and simultaneously benefits from increased stability, and selectivity, compared to monometallic NPs, due to synergistic substrate activation. Few comprehensive reviews focusing on Earth-abundant transition metals catalyst has been published since 1948, although several authors reported some summaries dealing with one or the other part of this aspect. It is hoped that this critical review will inspire researchers to develop new efficient and selective earth-abundant metal catalysts for highly, environmentally sustainable reductive amination methods, as well as improve the pharmaceutical industry and related chemical synthesis company traditional method with the utilization of the green method widely.
