Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Chloro-4-Substituted-phenyl-5,5-Dimethyl-1,3,2-Dioxaphosphorinan-2-(Thi)ones

The stereoselective synthesis of 2-chloro-4-substituted-phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-(thi)ones is described. Only single trans-isomers were obtained when 1-substituted-phenyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediols (1) reacted with POCl3. But the stereoselectivity of cyclization reaction between (1) and PSCl3 depended greatly upon the reaction condition. The configurational assignments and the ratio of cis-/trans- diastereoisomers of the products were performed on the basis of (HNMR)-H-1, (PNMR)-P-31 and IR spectra and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses.

Deposition of Pd on Co(OH)_(2) nanoplates in stabilizer-free aqueous phase for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Palladium-supported cobalt hydroxide(Co(OH)_(2)-Pd) nanoplates were fabricated in an aqueous solution and employed as a catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.For the preparation of Co(OH)2-Pd,Pd nanoparticles were anchored on the Co(OH)_(2) nanoplates after the reduction of Na;PdCl;by ascorbic acid in the absence of a stabilizer at room temperature.The observations under transmission and scanning electron microscopy reveal that Pd nanoparticles with a size of 2-5 nm are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the Co(OH)_(2) nanoplates.In catalytic test,the conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol is completed within 6 min in the presence of Co(OH)_(2)-Pd(1000) nanoplates with2.18 at.% Pd,and the corresponding kinetic constant is 0.0089 s;in the first test.The catalyst retains relatively high activity after several cycles.The results demonstrate that the Co(OH)_(2)-Pd(1000) nanoplates exhibit high catalytic activity toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH;.

Using waste to treat waste:Red mud induced hierarchical porousγ-AlOOH andγ-Al_(2)O_(3) microspheres as superior Pd support for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Toward the imperative treatment of the industrial wastewater containing 4-nitrophenol(4-NP)and industrial solid waste red mud(RM),an innovative approach of“Using waste to treat waste”is developed.Valuable element Al is leached from the RM first,the resultant NaAlO_(2) solution is hydrothermally converted toγ-AlOOH hierarchical porous microspheres(RMγ-AlOOH HPMSs,average diameter:2.0μm,SBET:77.81 m^(2) g^(-1),pore volume:0.38 cm^(3) g^(-1))in the presence of urea.The subsequent mild thermal conversion results inγ-Al_(2)O_(3) hierarchical porous microspheres(RMγ-Al_(2)O_(3) HPMSs).Both of the RMγ-AlOOH and RMγ-Al_(2)O_(3) HPMSs are employed as the Pd catalyst support for the catalytic reduction of 4-NP.Particularly,the as-obtained composite Pd/RMγ-AlOOH and Pd/RMγ-Al_(2)O_(3) exhibit excellent catalytic activities with superior knor as 8204.5 and 4831.4 s^(-1) g^(-1),respectively,significantly higher than that of most Pd based catalysts.Moreover,the excellent catalytic stability and durability of the Pd/RMγ-AlOOH and Pd/RMγ-Al_(2)O_(3) within 10 successive cycles of reduction enable the present industrial solid waste RM inducedγ-AlOOH andγ-Al_(2)O_(3) HPMSs as great promising Pd catalyst support for the reduction of the industrial wastewater containing 4-NP.

Strongly coupled Ag/TiO2 heterojunctions for effective and stable photothermal catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol

The development of effective catalysts for the catalytic conversion of the harmful nitrophenol （NP） into the useful aminophenol （AP） has received extensive interest. Herein, we report the easy and large-scale synthesis of strongly coupled Ag/TiO2 heterojunctions based on the coordinated action of organic components with a multi-kind metal precursor. The heterojunctions were effective and stable catalysts for the photothermal catalytic reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP. In the synthesis, critic acid, ethylene glycol AgNO3, and tetrabutyl titanate were dissolved and coordinated in water. Under heating, a precursor gel having a uniform distribution of Ag and Ti was gradually formed. Via calcination in air, the Ti precursor was transformed into TiO2, accompanied by the reduction of Ag＋ to Ag nanoparticles. The formation of Ag/TiO2 composites with intimate interface contact benefited from the uniform distribution of different components in the precursor gel. The Ag/TiO2 functioned as an effective catalyst for the reduction of 4-NP, exhibiting higher activity than the many reported Ag-based catalysts. The catalytic reaction over Ag/TiO2 had a small to with good activity and reuse performance. After 10 cycles of reuse, the conversion efficiency exhibited no obvious change. Importantly, the conversion of 4-NP was significantly enhanced under light irradiation provided by a 150-W Xe lamp （the visible light from cutoff have equal function）, but ultraviolet light did not promote the conversion. The conversion time was reduced from 620 to 270 s with light irradiation （15 ~C）. The reaction rate under light irradiation （0.014 s-1） was approximately three times higher than that in the dark at 15 ~C （0.0044 s-1） and even better than that in the dark at 25 ~C （0.01 s-l）. A series of experiments indicated that the light irradiation promoted the conversion of 4-NP because of the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag, which generated hot e- and h~ particles and local heating around the particles via their absorption of the light.

Experimental design for optimization of 4-nitrophenol reduction by green synthesized CeO2/g-C3N4/Ag catalyst using response surface methodology

In this study,the enhancement of catalytic activity of ceria when modified with co-catalysts such as graphitic carbon nitride and silver was establishe d.The material was synthe sized using phytogenic combustion method,a green alternative to the traditional preparative routes.The catalyst was characterized using XRD,FTIR,SEM,EDX,XPS and TEM techniques.The synergistic effect of the composite CeO2/g-C3 N4/Ag was tested for catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol in the prese nce of sodium borohydride.The reaction was carried out at room tempe rature without any light source or exte rnal stirring.The individual and combined effects of four parameters,viz.,concentration of 4-NP,amount of catalyst,amount of NaBH4 and time for the reduction of reduction 4-NP were investigated using Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology(RSM).This statistical model was used to optimize the reaction conditions for maximum reduction of 4-NP.The optimum conditions for the reduction reaction are found to be 0.01 mmol/L 4-NP,15 mg catalyst,20 mg NaBH4 and 13.7 min time interval.

Novel Ag2S nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide sheets as a super-efficient catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Here,Ag2S nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide（Ag2S NPs/RGO） nanocomposites with relatively good distribution are synthesized for the first time by conversing Ag NPs/RGO to Ag2S NPs/RGO via a facile hydrothermal sulfurization method.As an noval catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol（4-NP）,it only takes 5 min for Ag2S NPs/RGO to reduce 98% of 4-NP,and the rate constant of the composites is almost 13 times higher than that of Ag NPs/RGO composites.The high catalytic activity of Ag2S NPs/RGO can be attributed to the following three reasons：（1） Like metal complex catalysts,the Ag2S NPs is also rich with metal center Ag（δ^＋）,with pendant base S（δ） close to it,and thus the Ag and basic S function as the electron-acceptor and proton-acceptor centers,respectively,which facilitates the catalyst reaction;（2）RGO features the high adsorption ability toward 4-NP which provides a high concentration of 4-NP near the Ag2S NPs;and（3） electron transfer from RGO to Ag2S NPs,facilitating the uptake of electrons by 4-NP molecules.

Homoleptic alkynyl-protected Ag_(32 )nanocluster with atomic precision: Probing the ligand effect toward CO_(2) electroreduction and 4-nitrophenol reduction

We report a superatomic homoleptic alkynyl-protected Ag_(32)L_(24)(L=3,5-bis(trifluoromethylbenzene)acetylide,Ag_(32) for short)nanocluster with atomic precision,which possesses eight free electrons.Ag_(32) is formed by an Ag17 core with C3 symmetry and the remaining 15 Ag atoms bond to each other and coordinate with the 24 surface ligands.When applied as electrocatalyst for CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR),Ag_(32) exhibited the highest Faradaic efficiency(FE)of CO up to 96.44%at−0.8 V with hydrogen evolution being significantly suppressed in a wide potential range,meanwhile it has a reaction rate constant of 0.242 min−1 at room temperature and an activation energy of 45.21 kJ·mol−1 in catalyzing the reduction of 4-nitrophenol,both markedly superior than the thiolate and phosphine ligand co-protected Ag_(32) nanocluster.Such strong ligand effect was further understood by density functional theory(DFT)calculations,as it revealed that,one single ligand stripping off from the intact cluster can create the undercoordinated Ag atom as the catalytically active site for both clusters,but alkynyl-protected Ag_(32) nanocluster possesses a smaller energy barrier for forming the key*COOH intermediate in CO_(2)RR,and favors the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol.This study not only discovers a new member of homoleptic alkynyl-protected Ag nanocluster,but also highlights the great potentials of employing alkynyl-protected Ag nanoclusters as bifunctional catalysts toward various reactions.
