“…More importantly, by MOF or Pd/C as catalyst without a base, the selective hydrogenolysis with H 2 (10-30 bar) at 120-200°C resulted in no more than 55% yields (Fig. 1a, conditions C) [39][40][41] . In these studies, a large amount of reductant, strong base, and/or the low yield are/is still the limiting factor(s) for the applications.…”

Cleavage of C–O bonds in lignin can afford the renewable aryl sources for fine chemicals. However, the high bond energies of these C–O bonds, especially the 4-O-5-type diaryl ether C–O bonds (~314 kJ/mol) make the cleavage very challenging. Here, we report visible-light photoredox-catalyzed C–O bond cleavage of diaryl ethers by an acidolysis with an aryl carboxylic acid and a following one-pot hydrolysis. Two molecules of phenols are obtained from one molecule of diaryl ether at room temperature. The aryl carboxylic acid used for the acidolysis can be recovered. The key to success of the acidolysis is merging visible-light photoredox catalysis using an acridinium photocatalyst and Lewis acid catalysis using Cu(TMHD)2. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the catalytic cycle occurs via a rare selective electrophilic attack of the generated aryl carboxylic radical on the electron-rich aryl ring of the diphenyl ether. This transformation is applied to a gram-scale reaction and the model of 4-O-5 lignin linkages.

“…In recent years, selective hydrogenolysis under comparatively milder conditions was developed by Hartwig, Grubbs, Wang et al (Fig. 1a) [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] . The hydrogenolysis was accomplished by using [Ni], [Fe], or [Co] as catalyst, with H 2 (1-6 bar) or LiAlH 4 (2.5 equiv.)…”

“…27 Various commonly used metal ions in MOFs exhibit NMR-active isotopes with low natural abundance and small magnetic moments, for example 25 Mg and 67 Zn. [28][29][30] Special pulse sequences like CPMG (Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill) can enhance the NMR signal thus enabling detection of such spectra. In addition, quadrupolar nuclei oen exhibit very broad lines.…”

We have developed visible-light photoredox-catalyzed C–O bond cleavage of diaryl ethers by an acidolysis with an aryl car-boxylic acid and a following one-pot hydrolysis. Two phenols are obtained from a diaryl ether at room temperature. The aryl carboxylic acid used for the acidolysis can be recovered. The key to success of the acidolysis is merging visible-light photore-dox catalysis with a new acridinium photocatalyst and Lewic acid catalysis with Cu(TMHD)2. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the catalytic cycle occurs via a rare selective electrophilic attack of the generated aryl carboxylic radical on the electron-rich aryl ring of diphenyl ether. This transformation is applied to a gram-scale reaction and the model of 4-O-5 lignin linkages.

Abstract: Non-monotonic catalytic behavior in an isoreticular MOF series results from subtle structural differences that alter the substrate binding energy.
