Carbon Materials as Catalytic Tools for Oxidative Dehydrogenations and Couplings in Liquid Phase

Abstract

Carbocatalysis is a heterogeneous metal-free catalytic technique of high potential for current and future synthetic processes. Carbocatalysts entail heterogeneous materials based on sp²/sp³ interconnected carbons decorated with oxygen functional groups, defects, and other heteroatom dopants. In this short review, we cover a wide range of different carbocatalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation reactions, with particular emphasis on liquid-phase transformations that are relevant for synthetic organic chemists.

1 Introduction

2 Structures of Catalytic Carbon Materials

4 Oxidative Dehydrogenation CH–CH Couplings

5 Oxidative Dehydrogenation Coupling of Benzyl Amines

6 Oxidations of Alcohols

7 Other Oxidative Transformations by Heteroatom-Doped Carbon Materials

8 Asphaltene Oxide

9 Conclusions and Outlook

Key words

carbocatalysis - oxidative dehydrogenation - aromatization - carbon–carbon coupling - carbon–heteroatom coupling
