2-硝基苯丙酸类化合物在药物合成及研究中具有重要价值。但是，目前该类化合物的制备方法往往存在反应条件苛刻、制备过程复杂、副产物多、酸碱反应体系及催化剂用量大等问题。针对于此，本项目拟采用调控制备策略，设计及构建功能化碳基纳米复合催化材料，将碳载体材料中氧官能基团的氧化还原循环催化机制与过氧化金属配合物的氧化循环催化机制有机结合，通过水为溶剂、氧气条件下1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉类化合物的催化氧化开环，实现2-硝基苯丙酸类化合物的简单、高效且绿色的催化制备。此外，通过催化材料表征与催化反应性能研究相结合的模式，阐明催化材料组成、结构及性质间的关系；并结合动力学追踪及同位素示踪的研究方法，揭示催化反应过程中催化材料氧官能基团的具体协同催化机制、过氧化金属配合物的氧化循环机制及催化反应机理，为2-硝基苯丙酸类化合物的绿色催化制备及碳基纳米复合催化材料的可控设计构建提供新的研究思路和基础依据。

2-nitrophenylpropionic acid compounds play an important role in pharmaceutical synthesis and research. To date, the methods for the preparation of such compounds often remain some problems to be solved, such as harsh conditions, complex processes, more by-products, acid-base reaction system, using large amount of catalysts or otherwise problematic. Hence, to address this issue, in this project, the modulated preparation strategy is to be used in design and construction of functionalized carbon nanocomposite catalytic material to integrate the redox cyclic catalytic mechanism of oxygen-functional groups in carbon-based support and the oxidation cycle mechanism of metal peroxide complexes. The prepared catalytic materials are further applied to the tetrahydroquinolines ring-opening reactions via catalytic oxidation approach with water as solvent and oxygen as the oxidant, which will provide a simple, efficient and green process for the catalytic preparation of 2-nitrophenylpropionic acid compounds. In addition, using various of characterizations and catalytic performance research to establish the inner relationship among the catalytic material composition, structures and performance; as well as combined with the kinetic tracing and isotope tracer studies, the specific synergistic catalytic mechanism of oxygen functional groups in catalytic materials, the oxidation cycle mechanism of metal peroxide complexes and catalytic reaction mechanism are further revealed. Given the above, it is believed that this work should provide the theoretical guideline and new research ideas for the design of green catalytic reaction route of 2-nitrophenylpropionic acid compounds and controllable design and construction of novel carbon nanocomposite catalytic materials.
