Ambient ammonia synthesis via palladium-catalyzed electrohydrogenation of dinitrogen at low overpotential.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemical reduction of N2 to NH3 provides an alternative to the Haber-Bosch process for sustainable, distributed production of NH3 when powered by renewable electricity. However, the development of such process has been impeded by the lack of efficient electrocatalysts for N2 reduction. Here we report efficient electroreduction of N2 to NH3 on palladium nanoparticles in phosphate buffer solution under ambient conditions, which exhibits high activity and selectivity with an NH3 yield rate of ~4.5 μg mg-1Pd h-1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 8.2% at 0.1 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (corresponding to a low overpotential of 56 mV), outperforming other catalysts including gold and platinum. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the unique activity of palladium originates from its balanced hydrogen evolution activity and the Grotthuss-like hydride transfer mechanism on α-palladium hydride that lowers the free energy barrier of N2 hydrogenation to *N2H, the rate-limiting step for NH3 electrosynthesis.

Ammonia Synthesis at Ambient Conditions via Electrochemical Atomic Hydrogen Permeation.

Project description:Direct electrochemical nitrogen reduction holds the promise of enabling the production of carbon emission-free ammonia, which is an important intermediate in the fertilizer industry and a potential green energy carrier. Here we show a strategy for ambient condition ammonia synthesis using a hydrogen permeable nickel membrane/electrode that spatially separates the electrolyte and hydrogen reduction side from the dinitrogen activation and hydrogenation sites. Gaseous ammonia is produced catalytically in the absence of electrolyte via hydrogenation of adsorbed nitrogen by electrochemically permeating atomic hydrogen from water reduction. Dinitrogen activation at the polycrystalline nickel surface is confirmed with 15N2 isotope labeling experiments, and it is attributed to a Mars-van Krevelen mechanism enabled by the formation of N-vacancies upon hydrogenation of surface nitrides. We further show that gaseous hydrogen does not hydrogenate the adsorbed nitrogen, strengthening the benefit of having an atomic hydrogen permeable electrode. The proposed approach opens new directions toward green ammonia.

Synthesis of 3-Substituted Pyrrolidines via Palladium-Catalyzed Hydroarylation.

Project description:Metal-catalyzed reactions have revolutionized synthetic chemistry, allowing access to unprecedented molecular architectures with powerful properties and activities. Nonetheless, some transformations remain sparse in number, or out of reach, even with the diverse modern catalytic chemical arsenal, including bimolecular alkene hydroarylation reactions. We report here a broad-scope, palladium-catalyzed pyrroline hydroarylation process that gives 3-aryl pyrrolidines, a class of small molecules with potency in a diverse range of biological scenarios. Thus, whereas N-acyl pyrrolines usually undergo palladium-catalyzed arylation to give alkene products, the corresponding reactions of N-alkyl pyrrolines deliver products of hydroarylation, pyrrolidines. The process has broad substrate scope and can be used to directly deliver drug-like molecules in a single step from readily available precursors.

Rapid synthesis of bicyclic lactones via palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylative lactonizations.

Project description:A novel and efficient palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylative lactonization of amino propargylic alcohols has been developed to provide rapid access to various bicyclic lactones especially dihydropyrrole-fused furanones, which are novel structures and have not been explored in biological and medicinal settings. This method can also be used to access β-lactone products such as 16. Preliminary biological evaluations revealed that compounds 13h and 13s demonstrated promising activity against Clostridium difficile and compounds 13h, 13k, 13s, and 16b showed activity against several important fungal pathogens.

Effective synthesis of bicyclodienes via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation and ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization.

Project description:[n.3.0]Bicycles (n = 3-6) can be synthesized using palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation followed by ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization. New types of triarylphosphino-1,2-diaminooxazoline ligands show the same high levels of enantioselectivity observed with Trost ligand when employed in Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions. The enyne products of these allylic alkylation reactions were further elaborated using a Ru-catalyzed redox isomerization process, for which a mechanism is proposed.

Parallel synthesis of a desketoraloxifene analogue library via iodocyclization/palladium-catalyzed coupling.

Project description:For a future structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, a library of desketoraloxifene analogues has been prepared by parallel synthesis using iodocyclization and subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. Points of desketoraloxifene diversification involve the two phenolic hydroxyl groups and the aliphatic amine side chain. This approach affords oxygen-bearing 3-iodobenzo[b]thiophenes 4 in excellent yields, which are easily further elaborated using a two-step approach involving Suzuki-Miyaura and Mitsunobu coupling reactions to give multimethoxy-substituted desketoraloxifene analogues 6. Various hydroxyl-substituted desketoraloxifene analogues 7 were subsequently generated by demethylation with BBr(3).

Highly Selective Synthesis of 6-Glyoxylamidoquinoline Derivatives via Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation.

Project description:The aminocarbonylation of 6-iodoquinoline has been investigated in the presence of large series of amine nucleophiles, providing an efficient synthetic route for producing various quinoline-6-carboxamide and quinoline-6-glyoxylamide derivatives. It was shown, after detailed optimization study, that the formation of amides and ketoamides is strongly influenced by the reaction conditions. Performing the reactions at 40 bar of carbon monoxide pressure in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/2 PPh3, the corresponding 2-ketocarboxamides were formed as major products (up to 63%). When the monodentate triphenylphosphine was replaced by the bidentate XantPhos, the quinoline-6-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized almost exclusively under atmospheric conditions (up to 98%). The isolation and characterization of the new carbonylated products of various structures were also accomplished. Furthermore, the structure of three new mono- and double-carbonylated compounds were unambiguously established by using a single-crystal XRD study.

Synthesis of diamidopyrrolyl molybdenum complexes relevant to reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia.

Project description:A potentially useful trianionic ligand for the reduction of dinitrogen catalytically by molybdenum complexes is one in which one of the arms in a [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N](3-) ligand is replaced by a 2-mesitylpyrrolyl-alpha-methyl arm, that is, [(RNCH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(2)(2-MesitylPyrrolyl)](3-) (R = C(6)F(5), 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3), or 3,5-t-Bu(2)C(6)H(3)). Compounds have been prepared that contain the ligand in which R = C(6)F(5) ([C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr](3-)); they include [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NMe(2)), [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoCl, [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoOTf, and [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoN. Compounds that contain the ligand in which R = 3,5-t-Bu(2)C(6)H(3) ([Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr](3-)) include {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))}Na(15-crown-5), {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))}[NBu(4)], [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2)) (nu(NN) = 2012 cm(-1) in C(6)D(6)), {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3))}BPh(4), and [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(CO). X-ray studies are reported for [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NMe(2)), [(C(6)F(5)N)(2)Pyr]MoCl, and [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]MoN. The [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))(0/-) reversible couple is found at -1.96 V (in PhF versus Cp(2)Fe(+/0)), but the [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2))(+/0) couple is irreversible. Reduction of {[(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3))}BPh(4) under Ar at approximately -1.68 V at a scan rate of 900 mV/s is not reversible. Ammonia in [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(NH(3)) can be substituted for dinitrogen in about 2 h if 10 equiv of BPh(3) are present to trap the ammonia that is released. [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo-N=NH is a key intermediate in the proposed catalytic reduction of dinitrogen that could not be prepared. Dinitrogen exchange studies in [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N(2)) suggest that steric hindrance by the ligand may be insufficient to protect decomposition of [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo-N=NH through a variety of pathways. Three attempts to reduce dinitrogen catalytically with [(Ar(t-Bu)N)(2)Pyr]Mo(N) as a "catalyst" yielded an average of 1.02 +/- 0.12 equiv of NH(3).

Synthesis of Diarylated 4-Pyridylmethyl Ethers via Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions.

Project description:The direct arylation of weakly acidic sp3-hybridized C-H bonds via deprotonated cross-coupling processes (DCCP) is a challenge. Herein, a Pd(NIXANTPHOS)-based catalyst for the mono arylation of 4-pyridylmethyl 2-aryl ethers to generate diarylated 4-pyridyl methyl ethers is introduced. Furthermore, under similar conditions, the diarylation of 4-pyridylmethyl ethers with aryl bromides has been developed. These methods enable the synthesis of new pyridine derivatives, which are common in medicinally active compounds and in application in materials science.

De novo asymmetric synthesis of homoadenosine via a palladium-catalyzed N-glycosylation.

Project description:[reaction: see text] A highly stereoselective synthesis of l-2-deoxy-beta-ribo-hexopyranosyl nucleosides from 6-chloropurine and Boc-protected pyranone has been developed. Our approach relies on the iterative application of a palladium-catalyzed N-glycosylation, diastereoselective reduction, and reductive 1,3-transposition. This strategy is amenable to prepare various natural and unnatural hexopyranosyl nucleosides analogues.
