A one-pot and step economic reaction involving Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H thiolation and relay Cu(II)-catalyzed C–N amination of acetanilide and 2-bromothiophenol is reported here, with several valuable phenothiazine products obtained. This synthesis protocol proceeds from easily starting materials, demonstrating high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and good yield. Furthermore, the directing group can be easily eliminated, and chlorpromazine is provided in a large scale; thus this synthesis protocol could be utilized to construct phenothiazine scaffolds.

Rh-catalyzed tandem hydroformylation/isomerization/hydrogenation of various 1-arylbutadienes toward the corresponding branched saturated aldehydes were performed in the presence of monodentate phosphine ligand PPh 3 . After investigating different reaction parameters such as P-ligands and solvents, the conversion of substrates (including electron withdrawing and electron donating groups on aromatic rings, up to 99%) and chemical/regioselectivity of the target products (up to 98% and 99/1 for B/L) were improved using DMF as solvent. The [Rh(cod)Cl] 2 /PPh 3 catalytic system had good substrate universality in terms of substituents on the phenyl ring and provided a simple synthesis method for branched saturated aldehydes.

An organometallic complex-catalyzed artificial coenzyme regeneration system has attracted widespread attention. However, the combined use of organometallic complex catalysts and natural enzymes easily results in mutual inactivation. Herein, we establish a rhodium-based metal–organic framework (MOF)-on-MOF difunctional core–shell nanoreactor as an artificial enzymatic NAD(P)H regeneration system. UiO67 as the core is used to capture rhodium molecules for catalyzing NAD(P)H regeneration. UiO66 as the shell is used to specifically immobilize His-tagged lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serve as a protection shield for LDH and [Cp*Rh(bpy)Cl]+ to prevent mutual inactivation. A variety of results indicate that UiO67@Rh@UiO66 has good activity in realizing NAD(P)H regeneration. Noteworthily, UiO67@Rh@UiO66@LDH maintains a high activity level even after 10 cycles. This work reports a novel NAD(P)H regeneration platform to open up a new avenue for constructing chemoenzyme coupling systems.
