AbstractTreatment of the Al/P-based frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes2P–C(AltBu2)=C(H)-Ph (1) with benzophenone afforded the simple 1:1 adduct (4) with a O=CPh2 molecule coordinated to the aluminum atom by an Al←O donor-acceptor bond. Steric repulsion may prevent an interaction between the electrophilic carbonyl carbon atom and the Lewis-basic phosphorus atom. 4 is unstable in solution at room temperature, the coordination to aluminium increases the polarisation of the carbonyl group and favours its reduction. As suggested by quantum chemical calculations, a C–H bond of a tBu group approaches the electrophilic center and facilitates β-hydride elimination with the release of isobutene and the formation of an Al–OCHPh2 ligation. An intact O=CPh2 molecule completes the coordination sphere of the metal atom (5). The second tBu group at aluminium reacts similarly by the selective formation of an Al(OCHPh2)2 moiety (6). The thermodynamics of adduct formation and the mechanism of the hydride shift have been evaluated by quantum chemical DFT calculations.

Bis(dimesitylphosphanyl)butadiyne (14) reacts with B(C6F5)3 by a 1,1-carboboration sequence. The selective attack at a single phosphanyl-alkyne moiety is observed. First a phosphirenium-borate zwitterion 15 is formed at r. t. Thermolysis (80 °C) results in the E-selective formation of the 1,1- carboboration product, the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) E-16, which upon heating to 160 °C eventually undergoes isomerization followed by an internal nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction to give the product 17 featuring a -B(F)(C6F5)2 substituent at the five-membered P-heterocycle. Finally, the FLP E-16 was reacted with n-butylisocyanide to yield the five-membered heterocyclic product 18, formed by P,B addition to the isonitrile carbon atom. Compounds 14, 15, 17, and 18 were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analyses

We report selective formation of heterobimetallic PtII/CuI complexes that demonstrate how facile bond activation processes can be achieved by altering reactivity of common organoplatinum compounds through their interaction with another metal center. The interaction of the Cu center with Pt center and with a Pt-bound alkyl group increases the stability of PtMe2 towards undesired rollover cyclometalation. The presence of the CuI center also enables facile transmetalation from electron-deficient tetraarylborate [B(ArF)4]- anion and mild C-H bond cleavage of a terminal alkyne, which was not observed in the absence of an electrophilic Cu center. The DFT study indicates that the role of Cu center acts as a binding site for alkyne substrate, while activating its terminal C-H bond.

A versatile approach to the valorization of propargylic alcohols is reported, enabling controlled access to three different products from the same starting materials. Firstly, a general method for the hydroamination of propargylic alcohols with anilines is described using gold catalysis to give 3-hydroxy imines with complete regioselectivity. These 3-hydroxyimines can be reduced to give 1,3-aminoalcohols with high syn seletivity. Alternatively, by using a catalytic quantity of aniline, 3-hydroxyketones can be obtained in high yield directly from propargylic alcohols. Further manipulation of the reaction conditions enables the selective formation of 3-aminoketones via a rearrangement/hydroamination pathway.<br>

The thermal degradation of lignin for value-added fuels and chemicals is important for environment improvement and sustainable development. The impact of pretreatment and catalysis of Ni(NO3)2 on the pyrolysis behavior of organsolv lignin were studied in the present work. Samples were pyrolyzed at 500 ∘C with an upward fixed bed, and the characteristics of bio-oil were determined. After pretreatment by Ni(NO3)2, the yield of monophenols increased from 23.3 wt.% to 30.2 wt.% in “Ni-washed” and decreased slightly from 23.3 wt.% to 20.3 wt.% in “Ni-unwashed”. Meanwhile, the selective formation of vinyl-monophenols was promoted in “Ni-unwashed”, which indicated that the existence of nickel species promoted the dehydration of C-OH and breakage of C-C in pyrolysis. In comparison with “Water”, HHV of bio-oil derived from “Ni-unwashed” slightly increased from 27.94 mJ/kg to 28.46 mJ/kg, suggesting that the lowering of oxygen content in bio-oil is associated with improved quality. Furthermore, the content of H2 in gas products dramatically increased from 2.0% to 7.6% and 17.1%, respectively.
