Catalytic aziridination with alcoholic substrates via a chromium tetracarbene catalyst.

ABSTRACT: The first examples of aziridination catalysis with a chromium complex are communicated. This tetracarbene chromium complex provides novel catalytic aziridination reactions with protic substrates such as alcohols or amines on the alkene or organic azide and is the most effective catalyst at low alkene loading for aliphatic alkenes to date.

Multicomponent catalytic asymmetric aziridination of aldehydes.

Project description:The first multicomponent catalytic asymmetric aziridination reaction is developed to give aziridine-2-carboxylic esters with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivity from aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. This new method pushes the boundary of the aziridination reaction to substrates that failed with preformed imines.

Evidence for a boroxinate based Bronsted acid derivative of VAPOL as the active catalyst in the catalytic asymmetric aziridination reaction.

Project description:Studies are described that were designed to determine the structure of the active catalyst in the asymmetric catalytic aziridination of imines with ethyl diazoacetate (AZ reaction). Evidence suggests that the active catalyst contains a boroxine ring in which one of the three boron atoms is spiro-fused with the two phenol groups of the VAPOL ligand. (11)B and (1)H NMR evidence supports the boroxinate structure B in which the counterion to the boroxinate is the protonated form of the imine. The boroxinate structure is also supported by two solid state structures of a VAPOL boroxinate in which the gegen cation is tetramethyl ammonium and 4-dimethylaminopyridinium.

BOROX catalysis: self-assembled amino-BOROX and imino-BOROX chiral Bronsted acids in a five component catalyst assembly/catalytic asymmetric aziridination.

Project description:A five-component catalyst assembly/aziridination reaction is described starting from an aldehyde, an amine, ethyl diazoacetate, B(OPh)(3), and a molecule of a vaulted biaryl ligand (VAPOL or VANOL). A remarkable level of chemo-selectivity was observed since, while 10 different products could have resulted from various reactions between the five components, an aziridine was formed in 85% yield and 98% ee and only two other products could be detected in 3% yield. Studies reveal that the first in a sequence of three reactions is an exceedingly rapid amine-induced assembly of an amino-BOROX chiral Brønsted acid species from VAPOL and B(OPh)(3), which is followed by imine formation from the amine and aldehyde and the concomitant formation of an imino-BOROX chiral Brønsted acid and finally the reaction of the imine with ethyl diazoacetate mediated by the imino-BOROX catalyst to give aziridine-2-carboxylic esters with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Chemoselective allene aziridination via Ag(I) catalysis.

Project description:Allene aziridination generates useful bicyclic methylene aziridine scaffolds that can be flexibly transformed into a range of stereochemically complex and densely functionalized amine-containing stereotriads. The scope of this chemistry has been limited by the poor chemoselectivity that often results when typical dinuclear Rh(II) catalysts are employed with homoallenic carbamates. Herein, Ag(I) catalysts that significantly improve the scope and yield of bicyclic methylene aziridines that can be prepared via allene aziridination are described.

Biomimetic 2-Imino-Nazarov Cyclizations via Eneallene Aziridination.

Project description:Amidoallyl cations are appealing three-carbon synthons for the preparation of complex amine-containing carbocycles; however, methods to generate and utilize these reactive species are limited and underexplored compared to those for oxallyl cations. Here we disclose a bioinspired strain-driven ring opening of bicyclic methyleneaziridines to 2-amidopentadienyl cation intermediates that readily engage in Nazarov cyclizations. Advantages of this strategy include ease of generation and improved reactivity compared to 3-pentadienyl cations, control over the ultimate position of the alkene, the potential for high dr between vicinal stereocenters, and the ability to further elaborate the products to fully substituted aminocyclopentanes. Experimental and computational studies support a dual role for the Rh2Ln complex as both a nitrene transfer catalyst and a Lewis acid promoter, insight that provides a framework for the future development of asymmetric 2-imino-Nazarov cyclizations.

The Role of Catalyst Support, Diluent and Co-Catalyst in Chromium-Mediated Heterogeneous Ethylene Trimerisation.

Project description:Sequential treatment of a previously-calcined solid oxide support (i.e. SiO2, γ-Al2O3, or mixed SiO2-Al2O3) with solutions of Cr{N(SiMe3)2}3 (0.71 wt% Cr) and a Lewis acidic alkyl aluminium-based co-catalyst (15 molar equivalents) affords initiator systems active for the oligomerisation and/or polymerisation of ethylene. The influence of the oxide support, calcination temperature, co-catalyst, and reaction diluent on both the productivity and selectivity of the immobilised chromium initiator systems have been investigated, with the best performing combination (SiO2-600, modified methyl aluminoxane-12 {MMAO-12}, heptane) producing a mixture of hexenes (61 wt%; 79% 1-hexene), and polyethylene (16 wt%) with an activity of 2403 g gCr -1 h-1. The observed product distribution is rationalised by two competing processes: trimerisation via a supported metallacycle-based mechanism and polymerisation through a classical Cossee-Arlman chain-growth pathway. This is supported by the indirect observation of two distinct chromium environments at the surface of the oxide support by a solid-state 29Si NMR spectroscopic study of the Cr{N(SiMe3)2}x/SiO2-600 pro-initiator.

Methylaluminoxane-Free Chromium Catalytic System for Ethylene Tetramerization.

Project description:Ethylene tetramerization catalyst systems comprising a Cr(III) complex containing PNP ligands and methylaluminoxane (MAO) are useful for the production of 1-octene. However, a concern with these systems is the use of expensive MAO in excess. Herein, we report a catalytic system that avoids the use of MAO. Metathesis of CrCl3(THF)3 and [(CH3CN)4Ag]+[B(C6F5)4]- afforded [L4CrIIICl2]+[B(C6F5)4]- (L = CH3CN or tetrahydrofuran (THF)), which was converted to [(PNP)CrCl2L2]+[B(C6F5)4]-, where PNP is iPrN(PPh2)2 (1) or [CH3(CH2)16]2CHN(PPh2)2 (2). The molecular structures of [(THF)4CrIIICl2]+[B(C6F5)4]- and [1-CrCl2(THF)2]+[B(C6F5)4]- were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallography. The cationic (PNP)CrIII complexes paired with [B(C6F5)4]- anions, that is, [(PNP)CrCl2(CH3CN)2]+[B(C6F5)4]-, exhibited high activity in chlorobenzene when activated with common trialkylaluminum species (Me3Al, Et3Al, and iBu3Al). The activities and selectivity were comparable to those of the original MAO-based Sasol system (1-CrCl3/MAO). When activated with Et3Al or iBu3Al, the Cr complex, [2-CrCl2(CH3CN)2]+[B(C6F5)4]-, which bears long alkyl chains, showed high activity in the more desirable methylcyclohexane solvent (89 kg/g-Cr/h) and much higher activity in cyclohexene (168 kg/g-Cr/h). Other advantages of the [2-CrCl2(CH3CN)2]+[B(C6F5)4]-/Et3Al system in cyclohexene were negligible catalyst deactivation, formation of only a negligible amount of polyethylene side product (0.3%), and formation of fewer unwanted side products above C10. The [B(C6F5)4]- anion is compatible with trialkylaluminum species once it is not paired with a trityl cation. Hence, [(PNP)CrCl2(CH3CN)2]+[B(C6F5)4]-/Et3Al exhibited a significantly higher activity than that of a previously reported system composed of [Ph3C]+[B(C6F5)4]-, that is, 1/CrCl3(THF)3/[Ph3C]+[B(C6F5)4]-/Et3Al.

Liberated PKA Catalytic Subunits Associate with the Membrane via Myristoylation to Preferentially Phosphorylate Membrane Substrates.

Project description:Protein kinase A (PKA) has diverse functions in neurons. At rest, the subcellular localization of PKA is controlled by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs). However, the dynamics of PKA upon activation remain poorly understood. Here, we report that elevation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in neuronal dendrites causes a significant percentage of the PKA catalytic subunit (PKA-C) molecules to be released from the regulatory subunit (PKA-R). Liberated PKA-C becomes associated with the membrane via N-terminal myristoylation. This membrane association does not require the interaction between PKA-R and AKAPs. It slows the mobility of PKA-C and enriches kinase activity on the membrane. Membrane-residing PKA substrates are preferentially phosphorylated compared to cytosolic substrates. Finally, the myristoylation of PKA-C is critical for normal synaptic function and plasticity. We propose that activation-dependent association of PKA-C renders the membrane a unique PKA-signaling compartment. Constrained mobility of PKA-C may synergize with AKAP anchoring to determine specific PKA function in neurons.

Spectroscopic Investigation of the Activation of a Chromium-Pyrrolyl Ethene Trimerization Catalyst.

Project description:1-Hexene is an important ?-olefin for polyethylene production and is produced from ethene. Recent developments in the ?-olefin industry have led to the successful commercialization of ethene trimerization catalysts. An important industrially applied ethene trimerization system uses a mixture of chromium 2-ethylhexanoate, AlEt3, AlEt2Cl, and 2,5-dimethylpyrrole (DMP). Here, we have studied the activation of this system using catalytic and spectroscopic experiments (XAS, EPR, and UV-vis) under conditions employed in industry. First, chromium 2-ethylhexanoate was prepared and characterized to be [Cr3O(RCO2)6(H2O)3]Cl. Next, the activation of chromium 2-ethylhexanoate with AlEt3, AlEt2Cl, and DMP was studied, showing immediate reduction (<5 ms) of the trinuclear Cr(III) carboxylate and formation of a neutral polynuclear Cr(II) carboxylate complex. Over time, this Cr(II) carboxylate complex is partially converted into a chloro-bridged dinuclear Cr(II) pyrrolyl complex. In cyclohexane, small quantities of an unknown Cr(I) complex (?1% after 1 h) are observed, while in toluene, the quantity of Cr(I) is much higher (?23% after 1 h). This is due to the formation of cationic bis(tolyl)Cr(I) complexes, which likely leads to the observed inferior performance using toluene as the reaction solvent. Catalytic studies allow us to exclude some of the observed Cr(I) and Cr(II) complexes as the active species in this catalytic system. Using this combination of techniques, we have been able to structurally characterize complexes of this selective Cr-catalyzed trimerization system under conditions which are employed in industry.

Catalytic farming: reaction rotation extends catalyst performance.

Project description:The use of heterogeneous catalysis has key advantages compared to its homogeneous counterpart, such as easy catalyst separation and reusability. However, one of the main challenges is to ensure good performance after the first catalytic cycles. Active catalytic species can be inactivated during the catalytic process leading to reduced catalytic efficiency, and with that loss of the advantages of heterogeneous catalysis. Here we present an innovative approach in order to extend the catalyst lifetime based on the crop rotation system used in agriculture. The catalyst of choice to illustrate this strategy, Pd@TiO2, is used in alternating different catalytic reactions, which reactivate the catalyst surface, thus extending the reusability of the material, and preserving its selectivity and efficiency. As a proof of concept, different organic reactions were selected and catalyzed by the same catalytic material during target molecule rotation.
