Abstract
Although aqueous microdroplets have been shown to exhibit enhanced chemical reactivity compared to bulk solutions, mechanisms for these enhancements are not completely understood. Here we combine experimental measurements and kinetic modeling to show the strong coupling of interfacial reactions and gas/droplet partitioning in the condensation reaction of pyruvic acid (PA) to yield zymonic acid (ZA) in acidic aqueous microdroplets. Experimental analysis of single microdroplets reveals the substantial influence of evaporation of PA and partitioning of water on the size-, relative humidity (RH)- and temperature-dependent sigmoidal reaction kinetics for the condensation reaction. A newly developed diffusion-reaction-partitioning model is used to simulate the complex kinetics observed in the microdroplets. The model can quantitatively predict the size and compositional changes as the reaction proceeds under different environmental conditions, and provides insights into how microdroplet reactivity is controlled by coupled interfacial reactions and the gas-phase partitioning of PA and water. Importantly, the kinetic model best fits the data when an autocatalytic step is included in the mechanism, i.e. a reaction step where the product, ZA, catalyzes the interfacial condensation reaction. Overall, the dynamic nature of aqueous microdroplet chemistry and the coupling of interfacial chemistry with gas-phase partitioning are demonstrated. Furthermore, autocatalysis of small organic molecules at the air-water interface for aqueous microdroplets, shown here for the first time, has implications for several fields including prebiotic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry and chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The reaction steps for the selective conversion of a transition metal carbonyl complex to a hydroxymethyl complex that releases methanol upon irradiation with visible light have been successfully quantified in acetonitrile solution with dihydrobenzimidazole organic hydride reductants. Dihydrobenzimidazole reductants have been shown to be inactive toward H2 generation in the presence of a wide range of proton sources and have been regenerated electrochemically or photochemically. Specifically, the reaction of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)2]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) with one equivalent of a dihydrobenzimidazole quantitatively yields a formyl complex, cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(CHO)]+, and the corresponding benzimidazolium on a seconds time scale. Kinetic experiments revealed a first-order dependence on the benzimidazole hydride concentration and an unusually large kinetic isotope effect, inconsistent with direct hydride transfer and more likely to occur by an electron transfer-proton-coupled electron transfer (EΤ-PCET) or related mechanism. Further reduction/protonation of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(CHO)]+ with two equivalents of the organic hydride yields the hydroxymethyl complex cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(CH2OH)]+. Visible light excitation of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CO)(CH2OH)]+ in the presence of excess organic hydride was shown to yield free methanol. Identification and quantification of methanol as the sole CO reduction product was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The high selectivity and mild reaction conditions suggest a viable approach for methanol production from CO, and from CO2 through cascade catalysis, with renewable organic hydrides that bear similarities to Nature's NADPH/NADP+.

Abstract
Floating microplastics are susceptible to sunlight-driven photodegradation, which can convert plastic carbon to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and can facilitate microplastic fragmentation by mechanical forces. To understand the photochemical fate of sub-millimeter buoyant plastics, ∼0.6 mm polypropylene microplastics were photodegraded while tracking plastic mass, carbon, and particle size distributions. Plastic mass loss and carbon loss followed linear kinetics. At most time points DOC accumulation accounted for under 50% of the total plastic carbon lost. DOC accumulation followed sigmoidal kinetics, not the exponential kinetics previously reported for shorter irradiations. Thus, we suggest that estimates of plastic lifespan based on exponential DOC accumulation are inaccurate. Instead, linear plastic-C mass and plastic mass loss kinetics should be used, and these methods result in longer estimates of photochemical lifetimes for plastics in surface waters. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that photoirradiation produced two distinct patterns of cracking on the particles. However, size distribution analyses indicated that fragmentation was minimal. Instead, the initial population of microplastics shrank in size during irradiations, indicating photoirradiation in tranquil waters (i.e., without mechanical forcing) dissolved sub-millimeter plastics without fragmentation.

Abstract
The chemistry of pyruvic acid (PA) under thermal dark conditions is limited in bulk solutions, but in microdroplets it is shown to readily occur. Utilizing in situ micro-Raman spectroscopy as a probe, we investigated the chemistry of PA within aqueous microdroplets in a relative humidity- and temperature-controlled environmental cell. We found that PA undergoes a condensation reaction to yield mostly zymonic acid. Interestingly, the reaction follows a size-dependent sigmoidal kinetic profile, i.e., an induction period followed by reaction and then completion. The induction time is linearly proportional to the surface area (R2), and the maximum apparent reaction rate is proportional to the surface-to-volume ratio (1/R), showing that both the induction and reaction occur at the air-water interface. Furthermore, the droplet size is shown to be dynamic due to changes in droplet composition and re-equilibration with the relative humidity within the environmental cell as the reaction proceeds. Overall, the size-dependent sigmoidal kinetics, shown for the first time in microdroplets, demonstrates the complexity of the reaction mechanism and the importance of the air-water interface in the pyruvic acid condensation reaction.

Abstract
Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions are of extensive interest in chemical synthesis. While the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as solvents for synthesis has been widely explored in recent years, the understanding of their influence on the mechanism and reactivity of CuAAC reactions remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the kinetics of a phenylacetylene-benzylazide and acetylene-benzylazide CuAAC reaction to probe the influence of IL structure, including the role of the base used to promote the reaction and the importance of water content. The use of 'wet' ILs led to remarkable changes in the kinetic profile of the reaction by eliminating the initial induction period. The reaction rate was found to be dependent on the copper(I) source. The effect of an added base was also studied, with the use of a tertiary amine-bearing IL leading to high conversions in under 5 min at ambient temperature. The results of this study highlight the nature and complexity of CuAAC reactions in ILs. As more ILs are getting involved in industrial processes, the data obtained from this study are valuable for better understanding processes that affect the CuAAC reaction in IL media and for creating customized systems for organic synthesis, thus improving the efficiency and sustainability of such processes.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen (O2) remains to be an ideal yet underutilized feedstock for the oxidative transformation of organic substrates and renewable energy systems such as fuel cells. Palladium (Pd) has shown particular promise in enabling these applications. The present study describes a Pd-mediated O2 reduction to water via C-H activation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) by a Pd(II) η2-peroxo complex 1O2. The reaction yields stoichiometric anthracene and Pd(0) product 1 and is notable in two respects. First, plots of concentrations of the reaction participants over time have distinctly sigmoidal shapes, indicating that conversion accelerates over time and implying autocatalysis. Second, the reaction proceeds via a genuine monometallic Pd(II) dihydroxide 1(OH)2 directly observed to grow and decay as an intermediate. Confirming its role as an intermediate, the dihydroxide 1(OH)2 was found to mediate C-H oxidation of DHA on par in activity with the peroxo compound 1O2. Mechanistic studies with density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that both 1O2 and 1(OH)2 react with DHA by hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and that autocatalysis in the 1O2 reaction results from oxidative addition of the initial Pd(II) complex 1O2 to the Pd(0) product 1. This reaction forms a transient bis(μ-oxo) Pd(II) dimer 1O21 that is more active in the HAT oxidation of DHA than the initial 1O2.

Abstract
The development of noncovalent halogen bonding (XB) catalysis is rapidly gaining traction, as isolated reports documented better performance than the well-established hydrogen bonding thiourea catalysis. However, convincing cases allowing XB activation to be competitive in challenging bond formations are lacking. Herein, we report a robust XB catalyzed 2-deoxyglycosylation, featuring a biomimetic reaction network indicative of dynamic XB activation. Benchmarking studies uncovered an improved substrate tolerance compared to thiourea-catalyzed protocols. Kinetic investigations reveal an autoinductive sigmoidal kinetic profile, supporting an in situ amplification of a XB dependent active catalytic species. Kinetic isotopic effect measurements further support quantum tunneling in the rate determining step. Furthermore, we demonstrate XB catalysis tunability via a halogen swapping strategy, facilitating 2-deoxyribosylations of D-ribals. This protocol showcases the clear emergence of XB catalysis as a versatile activation mode in noncovalent organocatalysis, and as an important addition to the catalytic toolbox of chemical glycosylations. Halogen bonding (HB) catalysis is rapidly gaining momentum, however, cases of XB activation for challenging bonds formation are rare. Here, the authors show a robust XB catalyzed 2-deoxyglycosylation with broad scope and featuring a quantum tunneling phenomenon in the proton transfer rate determining step.

Abstract
Dual photocatalysis and nickel catalysis can effect cross-coupling under mild conditions, but little is known about the in situ kinetics of this class of reactions. We report a comprehensive kinetic examination of a model carboxylate O-arylation, comparing a state-of-the-art homogeneous photocatalyst (Ir(ppy)3) with a competitive heterogeneous photocatalyst (graphitic carbon nitride). Experimental conditions were adjusted such that the nickel catalytic cycle is saturated with excited photocatalyst. This approach was designed to remove the role of the photocatalyst, by which only the intrinsic behaviors of the nickel catalytic cycles are observed. The two reactions did not display identical kinetics. Ir(ppy)3 deactivates the nickel catalytic cycle and creates more dehalogenated side product. Kinetic data for the reaction using Ir(ppy)3 supports a turnover-limiting reductive elimination. Graphitic carbon nitride gave higher selectivity, even at high photocatalyst-to-nickel ratios. The heterogeneous reaction also showed a rate dependence on aryl halide, indicating that oxidative addition plays a role in rate determination. The results argue against the current mechanistic hypothesis, which states that the photocatalyst is only involved to trigger reductive elimination.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of isoxazole/isoxazoline derivatives via Machetti-De Sarlo reaction under sustainable conditions has been accomplished. This protocol involves the use of readily available 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) to catalyze the cyclocondensation of primary nitroalkanes with alkynes/alkenes to afford a library of isoxazole/isoxazoline products. From an eco-benign perspective, notable advantages of this method are as follows: (i) water as the solvent, (ii) air as the oxidant, (iii) transition metal-free, (iv) no base required, (v) no toxic byproduct, (vi) no need of solvent extraction, (vii) diverse substrate scope, (viii) high chemical yields, (ix) excellent chemo- and regioselectivity, (x) short reaction time, (xi) gram-scale synthesis, (xii) extension to heterogeneous version, and (xiii) catalyst recyclability. For these reasons, the developed method is appropriate for safe laboratory use and can be expected to inspire the progress of TEMPO-based organocatalysis for the preparation of isoxazole/isoxazoline moieties in an environmentally benign fashion.

New Hints on the Maya Blue Formation Process by PCA-Assisted In Situ XRPD/PDF and Optical Spectroscopy. Chemistry 2019; 25:11503-11511.

Abstract
The exact recipe to prepare the ancient Maya Blue (MB), an incredibly resistant and brilliant pigment prepared from indigo (dye) and Palygorskite (clay), is lost to the ages. To unravel the key features of the MB formation process, several inorganic-dye couples were heated to 200 °C and cooled to RT, to investigate their reactivity and the diffusion and degree of sequestration of the dye into the inorganic host. In situ XRPD/PDF and fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) data, along with TGA, provided a comprehensive overview on MB formation mechanism. XRPD/PDF gave information on long/short range behaviors of water desorption/adsorption and indigo sequestration, while TGA and in situ FORS gave information on mass and optical changes within temperature. Ex situ dye removal was used to understand the sample stability after the thermal treatment. A statistical approach based on principal component analysis was exploited to efficiently and jointly analyze the ≈3000 collected patterns. MB formation starts below 110 °C with disordered distribution of indigo within the channels, reaching maximum reaction speed and higher ordering at 150 °C. Above 175 °C, color changes and a stronger sequestration of indigo into framework channels are observed, whereas the affinity for water is dramatically reduced. The origin of different colors, hues, and stability in historical MB samples can then be explained in terms of different thermal histories of the starting mechanical indigo/palygorskite mixtures.

Abstract
Studies to convert nitroalkanes into amides and esters using I2 and O2 revealed in situ-generated iodine species facilitate the homolytic C-I bond cleavage of α,α-diiodonitroalkanes, arguably in an autoinductive or autocatalytic manner. Consequently, we devised a rapid and economical I2/O2-based method to synthesise sterically hindered esters directly from primary nitroalkanes.

Abstract
![]()
A regioselective
Pd-mediated C–H bond arylation methodology
for tryptophans, utilizing stable aryldiazonium salts, affords C2-arylated
tryptophan derivatives, in several cases quantitatively. The reactions
proceed in air, without base, and at room temperature in EtOAc. The
synthetic methodology has been evaluated and compared against other
tryptophan derivative arylation methods using the CHEM21 green chemistry
toolkit. The behavior of the Pd catalyst species has been probed in
preliminary mechanistic studies, which indicate that the reaction
is operating homogeneously, although Pd nanoparticles are formed during
substrate turnover. The effects of these higher order Pd species on
catalysis, under the reaction conditions examined, appear to be minimal:
e.g., acting as a Pd reservoir in the latter stages of substrate turnover
or as a moribund form (derived from catalyst deactivation). We have
determined that TsOH shortens the induction period observed when [ArN2]BF4 salts are employed with Pd(OAc)2. Pd(OTs)2(MeCN)2 was found to be a superior
precatalyst (confirmed by kinetic studies) in comparison to Pd(OAc)2.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis (AP) promises to replace society's dependence on fossil energy resources via conversion of sunlight into sustainable, carbon-neutral fuels. However, large-scale AP implementation remains impeded by a dearth of cheap, efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Cobalt oxide materials can catalyze the OER and are potentially scalable due to the abundance of cobalt in the Earth's crust; unfortunately, the activity of these materials is insufficient for practical AP implementation. Attempts to improve cobalt oxide's activity have been stymied by limited mechanistic understanding that stems from the inherent difficulty of characterizing structure and reactivity at surfaces of heterogeneous materials. While previous studies on cobalt oxide revealed the intermediacy of the unusual Co(IV) oxidation state, much remains unknown, including whether bridging or terminal oxo ligands form O2 and what the relevant oxidation states are. We have addressed these issues by employing a homogeneous model for cobalt oxide, the [Co(III)4] cubane (Co4O4(OAc)4py4, py = pyridine, OAc = acetate), that can be oxidized to the [Co(IV)Co(III)3] state. Upon addition of 1 equiv of sodium hydroxide, the [Co(III)4] cubane is regenerated with stoichiometric formation of O2. Oxygen isotopic labeling experiments demonstrate that the cubane core remains intact during this stoichiometric OER, implying that terminal oxo ligands are responsible for forming O2. The OER is also examined with stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopy, and its kinetic behavior is modeled, to surprisingly reveal that O2 formation requires disproportionation of the [Co(IV)Co(III)3] state to generate an even higher oxidation state, formally [Co(V)Co(III)3] or [Co(IV)2Co(III)2]. The mechanistic understanding provided by these results should accelerate the development of OER catalysts leading to increasingly efficient AP systems.
