For the first time, two new oxovanadium and dioxomolybdenum Schiff base complexes, VOL(OMe) and MoO2L, were synthesized through the reaction of a ONO tridentate Schiff base ligand (H2L) derived from the condensation of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and nicotinic hydrazide with oxo and dioxo acetylacetonate salts of vanadium and molybdenum, VO(acac)2 and MoO2(acac)2, respectively. The synthesized ligand and complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis (CHN) and the most authentic single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SC-XRD). The geometry around the central metal ion in MoO2L was distorted octahedral as revealed by the data collected from diffraction studies. Non-covalent interactions that are responsible for crystal packing are explored by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Theoretical calculations of the synthesized compounds, carried out by DFT at B3LYP/Def2-TZVP level of theory, indicated that the calculated results are in agreement with the experimental findings. Moreover, the catalytic activities of both complexes were investigated for the selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in acetonitrile.

Solar-light driven oxidation of benzylic alcohols over photocatalysts endows significant prospects in value-added organics evolution owing to its facile, inexpensive and sustainable ...process. However, the unsatisfactory performance of actual photocatalysts due to the inefficient charge separation, low photoredox potential and sluggish surface reaction impedes the practical application of this process. Herein, we developed an innovative Z-Scheme Cs3BiBr9 nanoparticles@porous C3N4 tubes (CBB-NP@P-tube-CN) heterojunction photocatalyst for highly selective benzyl alcohol oxidation. Such composite combining increased photo-oxidation potential, Z-Scheme charge migration route as well as the structural advantages of porous tubular C3N4 ensures the accelerated mass and ions diffusion kinetics, the fast photoinduced carriers dissociation and sufficient photoredox potentials. The CBB-NP@P-tube-CN photocatalyst demonstrates an exceptional performance for selective photo-oxidation of benzylic alcohol into benzaldehyde with 19, 14 and 3 times higher benzylic alcohols conversion rate than those of C3N4 nanotubes, Cs3Bi2Br9 and Cs3Bi2Br9@bulk C3N4 photocatalysts, respectively. This work offers a sustainable photocatalytic system based on lead-free halide perovskite toward large scale solar-light driven value-added chemicals production.

A green photoredox oxidation of benzylic primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones with air as an oxidant was reported. The oxidation shows broad substrate scope and excellent selectivity over benzylic alcohols to the aliphatic alcohols. Further mechanistic studies revealed a quinuclidine mediated HAT process, and blue LEDs promoted 4CzlPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene) photoredox cycle were involved in our oxidation.

An interesting and convenient procedure for the oxidative transformation of aryl alkyl ketones and secondary benzylic alcohols to aryl carboxylic acids has been developed. By using iodine and Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as the catalysts, DMSO and oxygen as the oxidants, the desired aryl carboxylic acids were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields (up to 91%).

The present transition‐metal‐free catalytic process is operationally simple to perform under “open‐flask” conditions and is applicable to the preparation of a number of α‐arylacetonitriles as well as late‐stage material transformations. The effectiveness of the present protocol was further demonstrated by the first enantioselective synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of verimol F.

Two new oxovanadium and dioxomolybdenum Schiff base complexes, VvO(L)(OCH3)(CH3OH) and MoVIO2(L)(CH2CH3OH), were synthesized by treating an ONO-donor type Schiff base ligand (H2L) derived by condensation of 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde and nicotinic hydrazide with oxo and dioxo acetylacetonate salts of vanadium and molybdenum, VO(acac)2 and MoO2(acac)2, respectively. The synthesized ligand and complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, multinuclear (1H, 13C) NMR, elemental analysis and the most authentic single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In both complexes the geometry around the central metal ions was distorted octahedral as revealed by the data collected from diffraction studies. Theoretical calculation of the synthesized compounds were carried out by DFT as well as TD-DFT using B3LYP method by employing the Def2-TZVP basis set.

Commercially available arylboronic acids can easily be converted into chiral boronic esters which can be subjected to Matteson homologations using Grignard reagents. The best results are obtained in ...one pot protocols without isolation of the α‐chloroboronic ester intermediates. Alkoxides can also be used as nucleophiles, but the corresponding homologated boronic esters are found to be not stable.
Under optimized conditions, chiral esters of commercially available arylboronic acids can be subjected to Matteson homologations in a one‐pot protocol using Grignard reagents without significant side reactions.
