Iron porphyrin-catalyzed C(SP3) -H activation for the formation of C O bond via cross-dehydrogenative coupling of cycloether and aromatic acid

α-Acyloxylation of Ketones/Cyclic Ethers Mediated by Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents as Oxidants and Nucleophilic Sources

This study describes a catalyst-free α-acyloxylation of ketones and a KBr-mediated α-acyloxylation of cyclic ethers. These conversions are effectively mediated by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents serving dual roles as the oxidant and nucleophilic source. Consequently, esters are produced directly in moderate to excellent yields. The proposed method features good functional group compatibility, a broad substrate scope, and high synthetic efficiency and is remarkably environmentally friendly.

Carboxylate as a Non-innocent L-Ligand: Computational and Experimental Search for Metal-Bound Carboxylate Radicals

We show that the carboxylate radical acts as an L-ligand with certain high-spin transition metal centers. Such coordination preserves the O-radical character needed for C-H activation via hydrogen atom transfer. Capture of the new C-radical by the metal and subsequent reductive elimination leads to formal C-H acyloxylation. Decarboxylation of the RCO₂ radical is minimized through hybridization effects introduced by spiro-cyclopropyl moiety.

Organic synthesis with the most abundant transition metal–iron: from rust to multitasking catalysts

The promising aspects of iron in synthetic chemistry are being explored for three-four decades as a green and eco-friendly alternative to late transition metals. This present review unveils these rich iron-chemistry towards different transformations.

Noncovalently copper-porphyrin functionalized reduced graphene oxide for sensitive electrochemical detection of dopamine

The nanocomposite of an electron-deficient flat tetrakis-(ethoxycarbonyl) porphyrin copper(II) (Cu-TECP) and reduced grapheme oxide (RGO) was prepared and used for electrochemical detection of dopamine (DA). The prepared nanocomposite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical studies of the modified glass carbon electrode (GCE) were carried out by the cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammograms (DPV) methods. The RGO/Cu-TECP/GCE exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards the detection of dopamine (DA). The detection limit was 0.58 μM, while the linear range was from 2 to 200 μM ([Formula: see text] 0.997).
