A simple nickel-catalyst for the chemo-selective alkylation of acetonitrile derivatives with primary alcohols is reported. This sustainable process resulted in up to 90% yield and generates water as the by-product.

Sodium alkoxide-catalyzed addition of methanol, ethanol and propanol to 3-chlorononafluoro-1,5-hexadiene (I) proceeds at temperatures -35 °C to 8 °C with allyl rearrangement, affording 1,6-dialkoxy-1,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6-octafluoro-2,4-hexadiene (V) as the principal product, along with 1,6-dialkoxy-1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6-octafluoro-1,5-diene (VI) and trans-1,6-dialkoxy-1,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6-nonafluoro-2-hexene (VII). The ethers Va-Vc consist of the cis,trans- and trans,trans-isomers in about 3 : 1 ratio, whereas the ethers VIa-VIc have trans,trans-configuration. Ethers Vc and VIc react with concentrated sulfuric acid to give dipropyl 2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-2,4-hexadienedioate (IX) and dipropyl 2,3,4,4,5-pentafluoro-2-hexenedioate (X), respectively, whereas the ether VIIc affords a mixture of propyl 6-propyloxy-2,3,4,4,5,6-heptafluoro-2-hexenoate (XI) and ester X. Addition of methanol to perfluoro-1,3,5-hexatriene (II) affords 1,1,2,3,4,5,6,6-octafluoro-1,6-dimethoxy-3-hexene (XIII) as the principal product.

A hydrophobic porous hydrogen anode was prepared whose electrochemical parameters are comparable with anodes containing a platinum catalyst. For its successful preparation, oxidation of the Raney nickel catalyst with air oxygen or with fluorine from Teflon must be prevented. The electrodes of a geometric surface area up to 450 cm2 were tested in cells and modules filled with 7M-KOH.

The activity of ruthenium, palladium, and nickel catalysts for the hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene in cyclohexane solution was studied at temperatures up to 180 °C and pressures up to 8 MPa. The GC-MS technique was used to identify most of the perhydroacenaphthylene stereoisomers, whose fractions in the product were found dependent on the nature of the active component of the catalyst. The hydrogenation was fastest on the palladium catalyst (3% Pd/C). The nickel catalyst Ni-NiO/Al2O3, which is sufficiently active also after repeated use, can be recommended for practical application. The activation energy of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene hydrogenation using this catalyst is 17 kJ/mol, the reaction order with respect to hydrogen is unity.

Mild methods to cleave the carbon-oxygen (C−O) bond in alkyl ethers could simplify chemical syntheses through the elaboration of these robust, readily available precursors. Here we report that dibromoboranes react with alkyl ethers in the presence of a nickel catalyst and zinc reductant to insert boron into the C−O bond. Subsequent reactivity can effect oxygen-to-nitrogen substitution or one-carbon homologation of cyclic ethers and more broadly streamline preparation of bioactive compounds. Mechanistic studies reveal a cleavage-then-rebound pathway via zinc/nickel tandem catalysis.

A simple method for the cross β-alkylation of linear alcohols with benzyl alcohols in the presence of DMF-stabilized iridium nanoparticles was developed. Furthermore, a highly effective catalyst-recycling process was also developed.
