Efficient and selective catalysis for hydrogenation and hydrosilation of alkenes and alkynes with PNP complexes of scandium and yttrium.

ABSTRACT: Scandium and yttrium congeneric complexes, supported by a monoanionic PNP ligand, were studied as catalysts for alkene hydrogenation and hydrosilation, and alkyne semihydrogenation and semihydrosilation. The yttrium congener was found to be much more active in all cases, but this greater activity is accompanied by more rapid catalyst decomposition and therefore higher total yields for some of the reactions with the scandium catalyst. Calculations indicate that the reactions may proceed via ?-bond metathesis of the alkyl complexes to form metal hydride intermediates into which alkenes/alkynes insert.

Catalysis-tunable Heusler alloys in selective hydrogenation of alkynes: A new potential for old materials.

Project description:Heusler alloys (X 2 YZ) are well-established intermetallic compound materials in various fields because their function can be precisely adjusted by elemental substitution (e.g., X 2 YZ 1-x Z' x ). Although intermetallic compound catalysts started attracting attention recently, catalysis researchers are not familiar with Heusler alloys. We report their potential as novel catalysts focusing on the selective hydrogenation of alkynes. We found that Co2MnGe and Co2FeGe alloys have great alkene selectivity. Mutual substitution of Mn and Fe (Co2Mn x Fe1-x Ge) enhanced the reaction rate without changing selectivity. The substitution of Ga for Ge decreased the selectivity but increased the reaction rate monotonically with Ga composition. Elucidation of these mechanisms revealed that the fine tuning of catalytic properties is possible in Heusler alloys by separately using ligand and ensemble effects of elemental substitution.

Nickel-Catalyzed Stereodivergent Synthesis of E- and Z-Alkenes by Hydrogenation of Alkynes.

Project description:A convenient protocol for stereodivergent hydrogenation of alkynes to E- and Z-alkenes by using nickel catalysts was developed. Simple Ni(NO3 )2 ⋅6 H2 O as a catalyst precursor formed active nanoparticles, which were effective for the semihydrogenation of several alkynes with high selectivity for the Z-alkene (Z/E>99:1). Upon addition of specific multidentate ligands (triphos, tetraphos), the resulting molecular catalysts were highly selective for the E-alkene products (E/Z>99:1). Mechanistic studies revealed that the Z-alkene-selective catalyst was heterogeneous whereas the E-alkene-selective catalyst was homogeneous. In the latter case, the alkyne was first hydrogenated to a Z-alkene, which was subsequently isomerized to the E-alkene. This proposal was supported by density functional theory calculations. This synthetic methodology was shown to be generally applicable in >40 examples and scalable to multigram-scale experiments.

Efficient Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes Catalyzed by Well-Defined Iron(II) PNP Pincer Complexes: Evidence for an Insertion Mechanism.

Project description:We have prepared and structurally characterized a new class of Fe(II) PNP pincer hydride complexes [Fe(PNP-iPr)(H)(CO)(L)] n (L = Br-, CH3CN, pyridine, PMe3, SCN-, CO, BH4-; n = 0, +1) based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine scaffold where the PiPr2 moieties of the PNP ligand are connected to the pyridine ring via NH and/or NMe spacers. Complexes [Fe(PNP-iPr)(H)(CO)(L)] n with labile ligands (L = Br-, CH3CN, BH4-) and NH spacers are efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of both ketones and aldehydes to alcohols under mild conditions, while those containing inert ligands (L = pyridine, PMe3, SCN-, CO) are catalytically inactive. Interestingly, complex [Fe(PNPMe-iPr)(H)(CO)(Br)], featuring NMe spacers, is an efficient catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes. The first type of complexes involves deprotonation of the PNP ligand as well as heterolytic dihydrogen cleavage via metal-alkoxide cooperation, but no reversible aromatization/deprotonation of the PNP ligand. In the case of the N-methylated complex the mechanism remains unclear, but obviously does not allow bifunctional activation of dihydrogen. The experimental results complemented by DFT calculations strongly support an insertion of the C=O bond of the carbonyl compound into the Fe-H bond.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation catalysed by well-defined Mn(i) PNP pincer hydride complexes.

Project description:The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is of great interest for its potential as a hydrogen storage method and to use carbon dioxide as C-1 feedstock. In an effort to replace expensive noble metal-based catalysts with efficient and cheap earth-abundant counterparts, we report the first example of Mn(i)-catalysed hydrogenation of CO2 to HCOOH. The hydride Mn(i) catalyst [Mn(PNPNH-iPr)(H)(CO)2] showed higher stability and activity than its Fe(ii) analogue. TONs up to 10 000 and quantitative yields were obtained after 24 h using DBU as the base at 80 °C and 80 bar total pressure. At catalyst loadings as low as 0.002 mol%, TONs greater than 30 000 could be achieved in the presence of LiOTf as the co-catalyst, which are among the highest activities reported for base-metal catalysed CO2 hydrogenations to date.

Two dimensional inorganic electride-promoted electron transfer efficiency in transfer hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes.

Project description:A simple and highly efficient transfer hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes by using a two-dimensional electride, dicalcium nitride ([Ca2N]+·e-), as an electron transfer agent is disclosed. Excellent yields in the transformation are attributed to the remarkable electron transfer efficiency in the electride-mediated reactions. It is clarified that an effective discharge of electrons from the [Ca2N]+·e- electride in alcoholic solvents is achieved by the decomposition of the electride via alcoholysis and the generation of ammonia and Ca(OiPr)2. We found that the choice of solvent was crucial for enhancing the electron transfer efficiency, and a maximum efficiency of 80% was achieved by using a DMF mixed isopropanol co-solvent system. This is the highest value reported to date among single electron transfer agents in the reduction of C-C multiple bonds. The observed reactivity and efficiency establish that electrides with a high density of anionic electrons can readily participate in the reduction of organic functional groups.

?-Selective Aroylation of Activated Alkenes by Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:Late-stage synthesis of ?,?-unsaturated aryl ketones remains an unmet challenge in organic synthesis. Reported herein is a photocatalytic non-chain-radical aroyl chlorination of alkenes by a 1,3-chlorine atom shift to form ?-chloroketones as masked enones that liberate the desired enones upon workup. This strategy suppresses side reactions of the enone products. The reaction tolerates a wide array of functional groups and complex molecules including derivatives of peptides, sugars, natural products, nucleosides, and marketed drugs. Notably, addition of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-pyridine enhances the quantum yield and efficiency of the cross-coupling reaction. Experimental and computational studies suggest a mechanism involving PCET, formation and reaction of an ?-chloro-?-hydroxy benzyl radical, and 1,3-chlorine atom shift.

Nickel-catalysed selective migratory hydrothiolation of alkenes and alkynes with thiols.

Project description:Direct (utilize easily available and abundant precursors) and selective (both chemo- and regio-) aliphatic C-H functionalization is an attractive mean with which to streamline chemical synthesis. With many possible sites of reaction, traditional methods often need an adjacent polar directing group nearby to achieve high regio- and chemoselectivity and are often restricted to a single site of functionalization. Here we report a remote aliphatic C-H thiolation process with predictable and switchable regioselectivity through NiH-catalysed migratory hydrothiolation of two feedstock chemicals (alkenes/alkynes and thiols). This mild reaction avoids the preparation of electrophilic thiolation reagents and is highly selective to thiols over other nucleophilic groups, such as alcohols, acids, amines, and amides. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction occurs through the formation of an RS-Bpin intermediate, and THF as the solvent plays an important role in the regeneration of NiH species.

Highly selective electrochemical hydrogenation of alkynes: Rapid construction of mechanochromic materials.

Project description:Electrochemical hydrogenation has emerged as an environmentally benign and operationally simple alternative to traditional catalytic reduction of organic compounds. Here, we have disclosed for the first time the electrochemical hydrogenation of alkynes to a library of synthetically important Z-alkenes under mild conditions with great selectivity and efficiency. The deuterium and control experiments of electrochemical hydrogenation suggest that the hydrogen source comes from the solvent, supporting electrolyte, and base. The scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction experiments demonstrate that palladium nanoparticles generated in the electrochemical reaction act as a chemisorbed hydrogen carrier. Moreover, complete reduction of alkynes to saturated alkanes can be achieved through slightly modified conditions. Furthermore, a series of novel mechanofluorochromic materials have been efficiently constructed with this protocol that showed blue-shifted mechanochromism. This discovery represents the first example of cis-olefins-based organic mechanochromic materials.

Selective Hydrogenation of Aldehydes Using a Well-Defined Fe(II) PNP Pincer Complex in Biphasic Medium.

Project description:A biphasic process for the hydrogenation of aldehydes was developed using a well-defined iron (II) PNP pincer complex as model system to investigate the performance of various ionic liquids. A number of suitable hydrophobic ionic liquids based on the N(Tf)2 - anion were identified, allowing to immobilize the iron (II) catalyst in the ionic liquid layer and to facilitate the separation of the desired alcohols. Further studies showed that targeted Brønsted basic ionic liquids can eliminate the need of an external base to activate the catalyst.

Reduced Arene Complexes of Scandium.

Project description:Alkali metal naphthalenide or anthracenide reacted with scandium(III) anilides [Sc(X){N(tBu)Xy}2 (thf)] (X=N(tBu)Xy (1); X=Cl (2); Xy=C6 H3 -3,5-Me2 ) to give scandium complexes [M(thf)n ][Sc{N(tBu)Xy}2 (RA)] (M=Li-K; n=1-6; RA=C10 H8 2- (3-Naph-K) and C14 H10 2- (3-Anth-M)) containing a reduced arene ligand. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the scandium(III) center bonded to the naphthalene dianion in a ?2 :?-coordination mode, whereas the anthracene dianion is symmetrically attached to the scandium(III) center in a ?2 -fashion. All compounds have been characterized by multinuclear, including 45 Sc?NMR spectroscopy. Quantum chemical calculations of these intensely colored arene complexes confirm scandium to be in the oxidation state +3. The intense absorptions observed in the UV/Vis spectra are due to ligand-to-metal charge transfers. Whereas nitriles underwent C-C coupling reaction with the reduced arene ligand, the reaction with one equivalent of [NEt3 H][BPh4 ] led to the mono-protonation of the reduced arene ligand.
