The mammalian toxicity of a C9–11 linear primary alcohol 6-mole ethoxylate, used in aqueous cleaning formulations, has been evaluated. The rat acute oral LD50 was 1.4 g/kg, and the rabbit acute dermal LD50 was greater than 2 g/kg. Undiluted material was severely irritating to the skin, but a 1% w/v aqueous dilution was not a skin sensitizer. There was no evidence of mutagenicity in the Ames assay. In a rat dermal subchronic study, there were no treatment-related effects at 1% and 10% aqueous concentrations, but at 25%, there was flaking of the skin and microscopic evidence of hyperkeratosis at the treatment site as the only compound-related effect. Potential reproductive toxicity was evaluated in a two-generation study in Fischer rats exposed similarly to the subchronic study. No compound-related effects on the reproductive performance or on the growth and development of the offspring were detected. It is concluded that this ethoxylate is typical of the more widely used alcohol ethoxylates with alkyl chains in the C12–18 range, being moderately acutely toxic by the oral route. By the dermal route—the relevant route of human exposure—it is not expected to produce skin irritation or systemic or reproductive toxicity at concentrations used in formulated cleaning products.

Mechanism of catalysis with binary and triple catalytic systems based on redox inactive metal (lithium) compound {LiSt+L2} and {LiSt+L2+PhOH} (L2=DMF or HMPA), in the selective ethylbenzene oxidation by dioxygen into -phenylethyl hydroperoxide is researched. The results are compared with catalysis by nickel-lithium triple system {NiII(acac)2+LiSt+PhOH} in selective ethylbenzene oxidation to PEH. The role of H-bonding in mechanism of catalysis is discussed. The possibility of the stable supramolecular nanostructures formation on the basis of triple systems, {LiSt+L2+PhOH}, due to intermolecular H-bonds, is researched with the AFM method.

<p></p><p></p><p>Switchable catalysis offers opportunities to control the rate or selectivity of a reaction <i>via</i> a stimulus such as pH or light. However, few examples of switchable catalytic systems that can facilitate multiple processes exist. Here we report a rare example of such dual-functional, switchable catalysis. Featuring an easily prepared, bench-stable cobalt(I) hydride complex in conjunction with pinacolborane, we can completely alter the reaction outcome between two widely employed transformations – olefin migration and hydroboration – with visible light as the sole trigger. This dichotomy arises from ligand photodissociation which leads to metamorphosis of the active catalytic site, resulting in divergent mechanistic pathways.</p><p></p><p></p>

The strategy of anchoring molecular catalysts on electrode surfaces combines the high selectivity and activity of molecular systems with the practicality of heterogeneous systems. The stability of molecular catalysts is, however, far less than that of traditional heterogeneous electrocatalysts, and therefore a method to easily replace anchored molecular catalysts that have degraded could make such electrosynthetic systems more attractive. Here, we apply a non-covalent “click” chemistry approach to reversibly bind molecular electrocatalysts to electrode surfaces via host-guest complexation with surface-anchored cyclodextrins. The host-guest interaction is remarkably strong and allows the flow of electrons between the electrode and the guest catalyst. Electrosynthesis in both organic and aqueous media was demonstrated on metal oxide electrodes, with stability on the order of hours. The catalytic surfaces can be recycled by controlled release of the guest from the host cavities and readsorption of fresh guest. This strategy represents a new approach to practical molecular-based catalytic systems.

A nickel-catalyzed carbon-sulfur bond metathesis has been developed to access high-value thioethers. 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcype) is essential to promote this highly functional group tolerant reaction. Further, synthetically challenging macrocycles could be obtained in good yield in an unusual example of ring-closing metathesis which does not involve alkene bonds. In-depth organometallic studies support a reversible Ni(0)-Ni(II) pathway to product formation. Overall, this work does not only disclose a more sustainable and more functional group tolerant alternative to previous catalytic systems based on Pd, but also presents new applications and mechanistic information which are highly relevant to the further development and application of unusual single bond metathesis reactions.

Abstract:: The copolymers of carbon monoxide (CO) and olefins, namely polyketones, are a family of widely used materi-als. In the catalytic preparation of these materials, palladium(II) catalysts represent the most successful catalytic systems. The production of both alternating and non-alternating polyketones has been achieved, with great difference in their physical properties. Herein, a variety of palladium(II) catalysts employed for the copolymerization of CO with various olefinic mon-omers such as ethylene, α-olefins, styrene and polar vinyl monomers are fully summarized. The influence of important fac-tors such as solvents and counterions on specific copolymerization, is also discussed. This review aims to enlighten the de-sign of new Pd catalysts with improved properties, as well as the development of new polyketone materials.

Introduction:: MCM-41 was synthesized using the sol-gel method. Then two new transition metal complexes of Nickel (II) and Vanadium (IV), were synthesized by immobilization of adenine (6-aminopurine) into MCM-41 mesoporous. The compounds have been characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM, AAS and FT-IR spectral studies. Using these catalysts provided an efficient and enantioselective procedure for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and oxidative coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides using hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. Materials and Methods:: To a solution of sulfide or thiol (1 mmol) and H2O2 (5 mmol), a determined amount of the catalyst was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for the specific time under solvent free conditions. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using n-hexane: acetone (8:2). Afterwards, the catalyst was removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and, then, washed with dichloromethane in order to give the pure products. Results:: All the products were obtained in excellent yields and short reaction times indicating the high activity of the synthesized catalysts. Besides, the catalysts can be recovered and reused for several runs without significant loss in their catalytic activity. Conclusion:: These catalytic systems furnish the products very quickly with excellent yields and VO-6AP-MCM-41 shows high catalytic activity compared to Ni-6AP-MCM-41.
