Solvent-free selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to azoxy compounds over Co single atoms decorated on Nb 2O 5 nanomeshes. Nat Commun 2024; 15:3195.

Abstract
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to azoxy compounds is highly important, yet challenging. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to construct individually dispersed Co atoms decorated on niobium pentaoxide nanomeshes with unique geometric and electronic properties. The use of this supported Co single atom catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene results in high catalytic activity and selectivity, with 99% selectivity and 99% conversion within 0.5 h. Remarkably, it delivers an exceptionally high turnover frequency of 40377 h-1, which is amongst similar state-of-the-art catalysts. In addition, it demonstrates remarkable recyclability, reaction scalability, and wide substrate scope. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the catalytic activity and selectivity are significantly promoted by the unique electronic properties and strong electronic metal-support interaction in Co1/Nb2O5. The absence of precious metals, toxic solvents, and reagents makes this catalyst more appealing for synthesizing azoxy compounds from nitroaromatics. Our findings suggest the great potential of this strategy to access single atom catalysts with boosted activity and selectivity, thus offering blueprints for the design of nanomaterials for organocatalysis.

Abstract
CeO2 nanorod based catalysts for the base-free synthesis of azoxy-aromatics via transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes with ethanol as hydrogen donor have been synthesized and investigated. The oxygen vacancies (Ov ) and base sites are critical for their excellent catalytic properties. The Ov , i.e., undercoordinated Ce cations, serve as the sites to activate ethanol and nitroarenes by lowering the energy barrier to transfer hydrogen from α-Csp3 -H in ethanol to the nitro group coupling it to the redox reactions between Ce3+ and Ce4+ . At the same time, the base sites catalyze the condensation step to selectively produce azoxy-aromatics. The catalytic route opens a much improved way to use non-noble metal oxides without additives for the selective functional group reduction and coupling reactions.

Abstract
The development of preparation strategies for iron-based catalysts with prominent catalytic activity, stability, and cost effectiveness is greatly significant for the field of catalytic hydrogenation but still remains challenging. Herein, a method for the preparation of iron-based catalysts by the simple pyrolysis of organometallic coordination polymers is described. The catalyst Fe@C-2 with sufficient oxygen vacancies obtained in specific coordination environment exhibited superior nitro hydrogenation performance, acid resistance, and reaction stability. Through solvent effect experiments, toxicity experiments, TPSR, and DFT calculations, it was determined that the superior activity of the catalyst was derived from the contribution of sufficient oxygen vacancies to hydrogen activation and the good adsorption ability of FeO on substrate molecules.

Abstract
Azoxy compounds have aroused extensive attention due to their unique biological activities, but the chemical synthesis of these compounds often suffers from limitations due to their requirement for stoichiometric oxidants, high costs, and restricted substrate range. Herein, a series of azoxy compounds were constructed via facile coupling reactions by using cost-effective N-methoxyformamide and nitroso compounds over Cu-based catalysts, affording high product yields with excellent tolerance of functional groups. Significantly, the mesoporous silica nanosphere-encapsulated ultrasmall Cu (Cu@MSN) catalyst was developed via a one-pot synthetic method and first used for the synthesis of azoxy compounds. As compared with copper salt catalysts, the Cu@MSN catalyst exhibited remarkably enhanced catalytic activity and superior recycling stability. Such a Cu@MSN catalyst overcame the inherent drawbacks of low activity, fast deactivation, and difficult recycling of traditional metal salt catalysts in organic reactions. This work provides a green and efficient method for the construction of azoxy compounds and also creates new prospects for the application of nanoporous materials confined metal catalysts in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The selective enzymatic reduction of nitroaliphatic and nitroaromatic compounds to aliphatic amines and amino-, azoxy- and azo-aromatics, respectively, remains a persisting challenge for biocatalysis. Here we demonstrate the light-powered, selective photoenzymatic synthesis of aliphatic amines and amino-, azoxy- and azo-aromatics from the corresponding nitro compounds. The nitroreductase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, in synergy with a photocatalytic system based on chlorophyll, promotes selective conversions of electronically-diverse nitroarenes into a series of aromatic amino, azoxy and azo products with excellent yield (up to 97%). The exploitation of an alternative nitroreductase from Enterobacter cloacae enables the tailoring of a photoenzymatic system for the challenging synthesis of aliphatic amines from nitroalkenes and nitroalkanes (up to 90% yield). This photoenzymatic reduction overcomes the competing bio-Nef reaction, typically hindering the complete enzymatic reduction of nitroaliphatics. The results highlight the usefulness of nitroreductases to create selective photoenzymatic systems for the synthesis of precious chemicals, and the effectiveness of chlorophyll as an innocuous photocatalyst, enabling the use of sunlight to drive the photobiocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been successfully valorized into 3-hydroxymethylcyclopentylamine through a one-pot cascade process in aqueous phase by coupling the hydrogenative ring-rearrangement of HMF into 3-hydroxymethylcyclopentanone (HCPN) with a subsequent reductive amination with ammonia. Mono- (Ni@C, Co@C) and bimetallic (NiCo@C) nanoparticles with different Ni/Co ratios partially covered by a thin carbon layer were prepared and characterized. Results showed that a NiCo catalyst, (molar ratio Ni/Co=1, Ni0.5 Co0.5 @C), displayed excellent performance in the hydrogenative ring-rearrangement of HMF into HCPN (>90 % yield). The high selectivity of the catalyst was attributed to the formation of NiCo alloy structures as hydrogenating sites that limited competitive reactions such as the hydrogenation of furan ring and the over-reduction of the formed HPCN. The subsequent reductive amination of HPCN with aqueous ammonia was performed giving the target cyclopentylaminoalcohol in 97 % yield. Moreover, the catalyst exhibited high stability maintaining its activity and selectivity for repeated reaction cycles.

Abstract
A recent report on the azo coupling of 4-nitrobenzo-15-crown-ether (4NB15C) and 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) indicated that the reaction barrier could be reduced greatly with surface plasmonic effects on silver dendritic nanostructures in aqueous solution. Accordingly, an azo coupling reaction mechanism was proposed based on one or two SERS peaks. Toward a profound understanding of this azo coupling reaction mechanism, it is crucial to scrutinize the origin of the full SERS spectrum. Here, we construct a molecular model consisting of 4NTP and 4NB15C on an Ag7 cluster that simulates a silver dendritic nanostructure, and investigate the SERS spectra of the azo coupling of these two molecules. We propose five different adsorption sites and 13 different orientations of 4NTP on the Ag7 cluster and optimize the geometries of the five configurations. With each optimized configuration of 4NTP adsorbed on Ag7, we further consider the azo coupling product with a 4NB15C molecule and simulate the corresponding Raman spectra. Comparing the measured Raman spectra and model analysis, we conclude that the azo coupling reaction depends decisively on a parallel molecular orientation of the adsorbed 4NTP relative to the facets of Ag7, the orientation of which further directs the subsequent reaction for the product of 4NB15C-4NTP.

Abstract
Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as heterogeneous catalysts since the early 1960s, due to their wide variety of framework topologies, compositional flexibility and hydrothermal stability. The possible selection of the microporous structure and of the elements located in framework and extraframework positions enables the design of highly selective catalysts with well-defined active sites of acidic, basic or redox character, opening the path to their application in a wide range of catalytic processes. This versatility and high catalytic efficiency is the key factor enabling their use in the activation and conversion of different alkanes, ranging from methane to long chain n-paraffins. Alkanes are highly stable molecules, but their abundance and low cost have been two main driving forces for the development of processes directed to their upgrading over the last 50 years. However, the availability of advanced characterization tools combined with molecular modelling has enabled a more fundamental approach to the activation and conversion of alkanes, with most of the recent research being focused on the functionalization of methane and light alkanes, where their selective transformation at reasonable conversions remains, even nowadays, an important challenge. In this review, we will cover the use of microporous zeolite-type materials as components of mono- and bifunctional catalysts in the catalytic activation and conversion of C1+ alkanes under non-oxidative or oxidative conditions. In each case, the alkane activation will be approached from a fundamental perspective, with the aim of understanding, at the molecular level, the role of the active sites involved in the activation and transformation of the different molecules and the contribution of shape-selective or confinement effects imposed by the microporous structure.

Abstract
A convergent paired electrochemical method was developed for the synthesis of azoxy and azo compounds starting from the corresponding nitroarenes. We propose a unique mechanism for electrosynthesis of azoxy and azo compounds. We find that both anodic and cathodic reactions are responsible for the synthesis of these compounds. The synthesis of azoxy and azo derivatives have been successfully performed in an undivided cell, using carbon rod electrodes, by constant current electrolysis at room temperature.

Abstract
Non-noble bimetallic CoW nanoparticles (NPs) partially embedded in a carbon matrix (CoW@C) have been prepared by a facile hydrothermal carbon-coating methodology followed by pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere. The bimetallic NPs, constituted by a multishell core-shell structure with a metallic Co core, a W-enriched shell involving Co7W6 alloyed structures, and small WO3 patches partially covering the surface of these NPs, have been established as excellent catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of quinolines to their corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. It has been found that this bimetallic catalyst displays superior catalytic performance toward the formation of the target products than the monometallic Co@C, which can be attributed to the presence of the CoW alloyed structures.
