Requirements for using Poly (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy-4-yl methacrylate) (PolyTEMPO) as an electrocatalyst for the organic electrosynthesis of benzonitrile from benzyl alcohol were investigated. The research results indicated that PolyTEMPO expressed catalytic activity in the electrosynthesis of benzonitrile from benzyl alcohol in the presence of ammonium acetate. The electrosynthesis yield of benzonitrile from benzyl alcohol with PolyTEMPO catalyst reached the maximum value at 35 °C after 18 hours.

The aim of the study was to establish the influence of a co-precipitation agent (i.e., NaOH–immediate precipitation; hexamethylenetetramine/urea–gradual precipitation and growth of nanostructures) on the properties and catalytic activity of as-synthesized Au-CeO2 nanocomposites. All catalysts were fully characterized with the use of XRD, nitrogen physisorption, ICP-OES, SEM, HR-TEM, UV-vis, XPS, and tested in low-temperature oxidation of benzyl alcohol as a model oxidation reaction. The results obtained in this study indicated that the type of co-precipitation agent has a significant impact on the growth of gold species. Immediate co-precipitation of Au-CeO2 nanostructures with the use of NaOH allowed obtainment of considerably smaller and more homogeneous in size gold nanoparticles than those formed by gradual co-precipitation and growth of Au-CeO2 nanostructures in the presence of hexamethylenetetramine or urea. In the catalytic tests, it was established that the key factor promoting high activity in low-temperature oxidation of benzyl alcohol was size of gold nanoparticles. The highest conversion of the alcohol was observed for the catalyst containing the smallest Au particle size (i.e., Au-CeO2 nanocomposite prepared with the use of NaOH as a co-precipitation agent).

AbstractNanoparticles (NP) have specific catalytic properties, which are influenced by parameters like their size, shape, or composition. Bimetallic NPs, composed of two metal elements can show an improved catalytic activity compared to the monometallic NPs. We, herein, report on the selective aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol catalyzed by unsupported Pd/Au and Pd NPs at atmospheric pressure. NPs of varying compositions were synthesized and characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The NPs were tested in the model reaction regarding their catalytic activity, stability, and recyclability in batch and continuous procedure. Additionally, in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements were performed in order to get insight in the process during NP catalysis.

Novel tetracarboxyl-functionalized 2,2′-biimidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with different anions were synthesized in two steps from readily available and sustainable starting materials including ammonium acetate, glyoxal, and halogenated propionic acid. The functionalized IL exhibited higher catalytic activity towards the cycloaddition of CO2 to terminal epoxides. With propylene oxide as a substrate, the optimum yield of propylene carbonate reached 82.7 % at an initial CO2 pressure of 2.0 MPa for 4 h at 140°C. Moreover, the functionalized IL catalyst displayed a high stability and can be reused for at least five cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity. The results provide a simple and economical way to synthesize multi-functionalized imidazolium-based ILs with versatile potential applications.

The synthesis of novel 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles was carried out in a single molecular motif using niobia supported heteropoly tungstate as a mild and efficient reusable catalyst. The condensation of 3-aryl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, aromatic amine, benzil, ammonium acetate and heteropoly tungstate supported on niobia was achieved under both conventional and non-conventional conditions. The employed protocol provides significant advantages, as it exhibits a remarkable catalytic activity on recovery, excellent yields and excellent reaction efficacy within short reaction times between 1-2 h (conventional) and 1-3 min (microwave radiation). All the obtained compounds were characterized by means of spectral data and elemental analysis. They were also screened for their antibacterial activity. To predict the binding mode of compounds with glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate transaminase (GlcN6P synthase), docking studies were performed.
