The oxidation of dec-1-ene has been investigated using gold nanoparticles supported on graphite in the presence of a radical initiator (α,α-azobisisobutyronitrile) using oxygen from air as oxidant. We have investigated the influence of the reaction temperature (70-100 °C), catalyst mass and reaction time on the epoxide yield. In the absence of a radical initiator the reaction does not proceed, although auto-oxidation can occur at higher temperatures in the range studied. However, in the presence of an initiator, selective oxidation occurs and the initiator propagates the reaction through the formation of a peroxy-radical at the allylic C3 position. Graphite enhances the formation of the allylic products dec-1-en-3-ol, dec-1-en-3-one, and dec-2-en-1-ol; however, the addition of gold nanoparticles to the graphite, enhances formation of 1,2-epoxydecane. It is suggested that gold suppresses the formation of allylic products via a Russell termination. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

The pH-dependent selective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was realized in water. Using HCOOH as the hydride donor at low pH, the unsaturated alcohol products were obtained exclusively, while the saturated alcohol products were formed preferentially by employing HCOONa as the hydride donor at high pH. A wide range of functional groups including electron-rich as well as electron-poor substituents on the aryl group of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes can be tolerated, affording the corresponding products in excellent yields with high TOF values. High selectivity and yields were also observed for α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with aliphatic substituents. Our mechanistic investigations indicate that the pH value is critical to the chemoselectivity.

Pd-catalyzed C-H oxidation reactions often require the use of oxidants other than O2. Here we demonstrate a ligand-based strategy to replace benzoquinone with O2 as the stoichiometric oxidant in Pd-catalyzed allylic C-H acetoxylation. Use of 4,5-diazafluorenone (1) as an ancillary ligand for Pd(OAc)2 enables terminal alkenes to be converted to linear allylic acetoxylation products in good yields and selectivity under 1 atm O 2. Mechanistic studies have revealed that 1 facilitates C-O reductive elimination from a π-allyl-PdII intermediate, thereby eliminating the requirement for benzoquinone in this key catalytic step.
