Application of biosynthesized palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) on Rosa canina fruit extract-modified graphene oxide as heterogeneous nanocatalyst for cyanation of aryl halides

A green palladium (Pd)-based catalyst supported on Rosa canina fruit extract-modified graphene oxide [Pd nanoparticles (NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-Rosa canina] hybrid materials has been used as a recoverable and heterogeneous nanocatalyst for cyanating aryl halides using K4[Fe (CN)6] as the resource of cyanide. The nitriles were achieved in good to high yield, and the catalyst can be recovered and reused for up to seven cycles with no remarkable decrease in its catalytic activity.

Selective Gold-Catalysed Synthesis of Cyanamides and 1-Substituted 1H-Tetrazol-5-Amines from Isocyanides

The newly discovered gold-catalysed reaction of isocyanides with hydrazoic acid generated in situ from trimethylsilyl azide and methanol (or, alternatively, from NaN3/AcOH) produces either cyanamides or 1-substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines, depending on the amount of available HN3. The reaction proceeds selectively and in generally high yields of either product, thus providing a particularly convenient access to a wide range of substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines that are rather difficult to access otherwise.

TEMPO-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Selenium Insertion Reaction: Synthesis of 3-Selenylindole Derivatives by Multicomponent Reaction of Isocyanides, Selenium Powder, Amines, and Indoles under Transition-Metal-Free Conditions

A novel and efficient approach for the selenium functionalization of indoles was developed with selenium powder as the selenium source, catalyzed by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinooxy (TEMPO) and employing O2 as the green oxidant. This protocol provides a practical route for the synthesis of 3-selenylindole derivatives and has the advantages of readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and a wide scope of substrates. Electron spin-resonance (ESR) studies reveal that the approach involves the formation of nitrogen-centered radicals and selenium radicals via oxidation of in situ generated selenoates.
