Anthranil: An Aminating Reagent Leading to Bifunctionality for Both C(sp(3) )-H and C(sp(2) )-H under Rhodium(III) Catalysis

Abstract: Previous direct C-H nitrogenation suffered from simple amidation/amination with limited atom-economy and is mostly limited to C(sp(2) )-H substrates. In this work, anthranil was designed as a novel bifunctional aminating reagent for both C(sp(2) )-H and C(sp(3) )-H bonds under rhodium(III) catalysis, thus affording a nucleophilic aniline tethered to an electrophilic carbonyl. A tridendate rhodium(III) complex has been isolated as the resting state of the catalyst, and DFT studies established the intermediacy of a nitrene species.

Factors affecting the efficiency of a photocatalyzed process in aqueous metal-oxide dispersions: Prospect of distinguishing between two kinetic models

Abstract: The photooxidative degradation of phenol in aqueous TiO2 dispersions has been revisited to determine the dependencies of the rate on the concentration of phenol and on the photon flow (ρ) of the actinic light at 365 nm. The principal objective was to assess the factors that influence the efficiency of the photocatalytic process, the rate of which is described by the function d C d t (ρ,C)=( const )C n ρ m where n and m are orders of the reaction with respect to concentration and photon flow (light intensity), respectively. The reaction order m varies with reagent concentration C, whereas the order n depends on photon flow ρ. The description indicates that m→1 if n→0, whereas n→1 if m→0. Therefore, the reaction orders m and n of phenol photodegradation are interdependent. A detailed kinetic description of the process is given based on two well-known mechanistic/kinetic models, namely (i) the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) model whereby the organic reagent is pre-adsorbed on the photocatalyst surface prior to UV illumination, and (ii) the Eley–Rideal (ER) model for which the organic reagent diffuses from the solution bulk onto the photocatalyst surface to interact with the activated state of the photocatalyst. The kinetic treatment infers that it is possible (under certain conditions) to delineate between the LH and ER mechanistic models on the basis of the magnitude of the Langmuir constant KL at very high photon flow, i.e. when ρ→∞ {for the LH pathway, KL→K; for the ER model KL→0}, and on the dependence of kobs of the process on ρ. For the ER model, kobs scales linearly with ρ at high photon flow, whereas for the LH pathway kobs displays a sub-linear dependence on ρ and tends toward saturation at high photon flow.
