Selective catalytic two-step process for ethylene glycol from carbon monoxide.

ABSTRACT: Upgrading C1 chemicals (for example, CO, CO/H2, MeOH and CO2) with C-C bond formation is essential for the synthesis of bulk chemicals. In general, these industrially important processes (for example, Fischer Tropsch) proceed at drastic reaction conditions (>250 °C; high pressure) and suffer from low selectivity, which makes high capital investment necessary and requires additional purifications. Here, a different strategy for the preparation of ethylene glycol (EG) via initial oxidative coupling and subsequent reduction is presented. Separating coupling and reduction steps allows for a completely selective formation of EG (99%) from CO. This two-step catalytic procedure makes use of a Pd-catalysed oxycarbonylation of amines to oxamides at room temperature (RT) and subsequent Ru- or Fe-catalysed hydrogenation to EG. Notably, in the first step the required amines can be efficiently reused. The presented stepwise oxamide-mediated coupling provides the basis for a new strategy for selective upgrading of C1 chemicals.

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) as a C1-building block for selective catalytic methylation.

Project description:A catalytic reaction using syngas (CO/H2) as feedstock for the selective β-methylation of alcohols was developed whereby carbon monoxide acts as a C1 source and hydrogen gas as a reducing agent. The overall transformation occurs through an intricate network of metal-catalyzed and base-mediated reactions. The molecular complex [Mn(CO)2Br[HN(C2H4P i Pr2)2]] 1 comprising earth-abundant manganese acts as the metal component in the catalytic system enabling the generation of formaldehyde from syngas in a synthetically useful reaction. This new syngas conversion opens pathways to install methyl branches at sp3 carbon centers utilizing renewable feedstocks and energy for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, fine chemicals, and advanced biofuels.

Carbon Monoxide Promotes the Catalytic Hydrogenation on Metal Cluster Catalysts.

Project description:Size effect plays a crucial role in catalytic hydrogenation. The highly dispersed ultrasmall clusters with a limited number of metal atoms are one candidate of the next generation catalysts that bridge the single-atom metal catalysts and metal nanoparticles. However, for the unfavorable electronic property and their interaction with the substrates, they usually exhibit sluggish activity. Taking advantage of the small size, their catalytic property would be mediated by surface binding species. The combination of metal cluster coordination chemistry brings new opportunity. CO poisoning is notorious for Pt group metal catalysts as the strong adsorption of CO would block the active centers. In this work, we will demonstrate that CO could serve as a promoter for the catalytic hydrogenation when ultrasmall Pd clusters are employed. By means of DFT calculations, we show that Pd n (n = 2-147) clusters display sluggish activity for hydrogenation due to the too strong binding of hydrogen atom and reaction intermediates thereon, whereas introducing CO would reduce the binding energies of vicinal sites, thus enhancing the hydrogenation reaction. Experimentally, supported Pd2CO catalysts are fabricated by depositing preestablished [Pd2(μ-CO)2Cl4]2- clusters on oxides and demonstrated as an outstanding catalyst for the hydrogenation of styrene. The promoting effect of CO is further verified experimentally by removing and reintroducing a proper amount of CO on the Pd cluster catalysts.

Contributions of distinct gold species to catalytic reactivity for carbon monoxide oxidation.

Project description:Small-size (<5 nm) gold nanostructures supported on reducible metal oxides have been widely investigated because of the unique catalytic properties they exhibit in diverse redox reactions. However, arguments about the nature of the gold active site have continued for two decades, due to the lack of comparable catalyst systems with specific gold species, as well as the scarcity of direct experimental evidence for the reaction mechanism under realistic working conditions. Here we report the determination of the contribution of single atoms, clusters and particles to the oxidation of carbon monoxide at room temperature, by the aid of in situ X-ray absorption fine structure analysis and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. We find that the metallic gold component in clusters or particles plays a much more critical role as the active site than the cationic single-atom gold species for the room-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation reaction.

The Structure of the Active Pd State During Catalytic Carbon Monoxide Oxidization.

Project description:Using grazing incidence X-rays and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy during the mass transfer limited catalytic oxidation of CO, the long-range surface structure of Pd(100) was investigated. Under the reaction conditions of 50:4 O2 to CO, 300 mbar pressure, and temperatures between 200 and 450 °C, the surface structure resulting from oxidation and the subsequent oxide reduction was elucidated. The reduction cycle was halted, and while under reaction conditions, angle-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy close to the critical angle of Pd and modeling of the data was performed. Two proposed models for the system were compared. The suggestion with the metallic islands formed on top of the oxide island was shown to be consistent with the data.

Catalytic activity of non-cross-linked microcrystals of aspartate aminotransferase in poly(ethylene glycol).

Project description:The molar activity of crystalline mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase is decreased to 10% of that of the enzyme in solution. The activity was measured in suspensions of non-cross-linked microcrystals (average dimensions 22 microns X 5 microns X 0.8 microns) in 30% (w/v) poly(ethylene glycol). Kinetic tests ruled out the possibility that diffusion of the substrate in the crystals is rate-limiting. The observed decrease in catalytic efficiency can be attributed exclusively to crystal-packing effects. A direct inhibition by poly(ethylene glycol) is excluded because poly(ethylene glycol), with average Mr 6000, cannot penetrate the liquid channels of the crystals, owing to its large Stokes radius. The crystals examined were triclinic and of the same habit as those used for high-resolution X-ray-crystallographic analysis [Ford, Eichele & Jansonius (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77, 2559-2563]. The catalytic competence of crystalline aspartate aminotransferase confirms the relevance of the spatial model of this protein for the elucidation of its mechanism of action.

Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes.

Project description:Carbon monoxide is a key C1 feedstock for the industrial production of hydrocarbons, where it is used to make millions of tonnes of chemicals, fuels, and solvents per annum. Many transition metal complexes can coordinate CO, but the formation of new C-C bonds in well-defined compounds from the scission and subsequent coupling of two or more CO moieties at a transition metal centre remains a challenge. Herein, we report the use of low-coordinate iron(II) complexes for the selective scission and homologation of CO affording unusual squaraines and iron carboxylates at ambient temperature and pressure. A modification of the ligand framework allows for the isolation and structural characterisation of a proposed metallacyclic Fe(II) carbene intermediate. These results indicate that, with the appropriate choice of supporting ligands, it is possible to cleave and homologate carbon monoxide under mild conditions using an abundant and environmentally benign low-coordinate, first row transition metal.

Circadian clock disruption by selective removal of endogenous carbon monoxide.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are regulated by transcription-translation feedback loops (TTFL) of clock genes. Previous studies have demonstrated that core transcriptional factors, NPAS2 and CLOCK, in the TTFL can reversibly bind carbon monoxide (CO) in vitro. However, little is known about whether endogenous CO, which is continuously produced during a heme metabolic process, is involved in the circadian system. Here we show that selective removal of endogenous CO in mice considerably disrupts rhythmic expression of the clock genes. A highly selective CO scavenger, hemoCD1, which is a supramolecular complex of an iron(II)porphyrin with a per-O-methyl-?-cyclodextrin dimer, was used to remove endogenous CO in mice. Intraperitoneal administration of hemoCD1 to mice immediately reduced the amount of internal CO. The removal of CO promoted the bindings of NPAS2 and CLOCK to DNA (E-box) in the murine liver, resulting in up-regulation of the E-box-controlled clock genes (Per1, Per2, Cry1, Cry2, and Rev-erb?). Within 3?h after the administration, most hemoCD1 in mice was excreted in the urine, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was gradually induced in the liver. Increased endogenous CO production due to the overexpression of HO-1 caused dissociation of NPAS2 and CLOCK from E-box, which in turn induced down-regulation of the clock genes. The down-regulation continued over 12?h even after the internal CO level recovered to normal. The late down-regulation was ascribed to an inflammatory response caused by the endogenous CO reduction. The CO pseudo-knockdown experiments provided the clear evidence that endogenous CO contributes to regulation in the mammalian circadian clock.

Verteporfin-Loaded Poly(ethylene glycol)-Poly(beta-amino ester)-Poly(ethylene glycol) Triblock Micelles for Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Amphiphilic polymers can be used to form micelles to deliver water-insoluble drugs. A biodegradable poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-poly(beta-amino ester) (PBAE)-PEG triblock copolymer was developed that is useful for drug delivery. It was shown to successfully encapsulate and pH-dependently release a water-insoluble, small molecule anticancer drug, verteporfin. PEG-PBAE-PEG micelle morphology was also controlled through variations to the hydrophobicity of the central PBAE block of the copolymer in order to evade macrophage uptake. Spherical micelles were 50 nm in diameter, while filamentous micelles were 31 nm in width with an average aspect ratio of 20. When delivered to RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages, filamentous micelles exhibited a 89% drop in cellular uptake percentage and a 5.6-fold drop in normalized geometric mean cellular uptake compared to spherical micelles. This demonstrates the potential of high-aspect-ratio, anisotropically shaped PEG-PBAE-PEG micelles to evade macrophage-mediated clearance. Both spherical and filamentous micelles also showed therapeutic efficacy in human triple-negative breast cancer and small cell lung cancer cells without requiring photodynamic therapy to achieve an anticancer effect. Both spherical and filamentous micelles were more effective in killing lung cancer cells than breast cancer cells at equivalent verteporfin concentrations, while spherical micelles were shown to be more effective than filamentous micelles against both cancer cells. Spherical and filamentous micelles at 5 and 10 ?M respective verteporfin concentration resulted in 100% cell killing of lung cancer cells, but both micelles required a higher verteporfin concentration of 20 ?M to kill breast cancer cells at the levels of 80% and 50% respectively. This work demonstrates the potential of PEG-PBAE-PEG as a biodegradable, anisotropic drug delivery system as well as the in vitro use of verteporfin-loaded micelles for cancer therapy.
