Over the past few decades, great breakthroughs have been achieved in the controlled synthesis of efficient heterogeneous catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of functionalized quinoline compounds, which allow one to correlate the structure-property relationships. In this review, we will summarize the recent significant progress achieved in this field covering the synthetic strategies, microstructural and chemical features, catalytic performance, and internal relationships. State-of-the-art noble metal-based single(Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, Ir and Au) and bi/multi-metallic catalysts(RuCu, AuPd, and PdNi) are first introduced, followed by a summary of earth-abundant metal-based catalysts(Co, Fe, Ni, and Cu). Finally, the dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles is introduced to form a reversible hydrogenation/dehydrogenation system for H2 storage, which can be employed in a liquid organic hydrogen system. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism and future research direction in these areas are also discussed. This review will deepen our understanding of the catalytic transformation of N-heterocycles and provide guidance for researchers on the rational design of catalysts.展开更多

The optimum conditions have been found, that was, mass ratio of m(PAn): m(HaSiW6Mo6On.) was 1:1.25, volume of methanol was 20 mL, and the reflux reaction time was 2h. The structural identity of Keggin units was preserved after the incorporation into polyaniline matrix. H4SiW6Mo6040/PAn was used as catalyst in catalytic synthesis of acetals and ketals. Effects of n(aldehyde(ketone )): n(glycol), catalyst dosage and reaction time on yield were investingated. Optimal conditions were: n(aldehyde(ketone)): n(glycol)=1.0: 1.5; mass fraction of catalyst to reactants, 0.5%; reaction time, 1.0 h and cyclohexane as water-stripped reagent, 15 mL. Under these conditions, yields of actels and ketals were 31.9%-91.6%.展开更多

Former structures of the products have been established by the help of elemental and spectral analysis. Most of the obtained targets showed a moderate activity towards some microbes in comparison with two antibiotics Pipercillin and Mycostatine.展开更多

The two bis-imidazolinium salts were used as efficient precursor of NHC ancillary ligands in the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction. Good to excellent yields and high stereoselectivities were obtained with ethyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide as starting materials. The structure of bis-imidazolinium salt 4b was further characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.展开更多
