Olefin Metathesis Reaction in Water and in Air Improved by Supramolecular Additives.

ABSTRACT: A range of water-immiscible commercially available Grubbs-type precatalysts can be used in ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction in high yields. The synthetic transformation is possible in pure water under ambient conditions. Sulfocalixarenes can help to boost the reactivity of the metathesis reaction by catalyst activation, improved mass transfer, and solubility of reactants in the aqueous reaction media. Additionally, the use of supramolecular additives allows lower catalyst loadings, but still high activity in pure water under aerobic conditions.

Improved ruthenium catalysts for Z-selective olefin metathesis.

Project description:Several new C-H-activated ruthenium catalysts for Z-selective olefin metathesis have been synthesized. Both the carboxylate ligand and the aryl group of the N-heterocyclic carbene have been altered and the resulting catalysts evaluated using a range of metathesis reactions. Substitution of bidentate with monodentate X-type ligands led to a severe attenuation of metathesis activity and selectivity, while minor differences were observed between bidentate ligands within the same family (e.g., carboxylates). The use of nitrato-type ligands in place of carboxylates afforded a significant improvement in metathesis activity and selectivity. With these catalysts, turnover numbers approaching 1000 were possible for a variety of cross-metathesis reactions, including the synthesis of industrially relevant products.

Olefin metathesis and quadruple hydrogen bonding: a powerful combination in multistep supramolecular synthesis.

Project description:We show that combining concepts generally used in covalent organic synthesis such as retrosynthetic analysis and the use of protecting groups, and applying them to the self-assembly of polymeric building blocks in multiple steps, results in a powerful strategy for the self-assembly of dynamic materials with a high level of architectural control. We present a highly efficient synthesis of bifunctional telechelic polymers by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with complementary quadruple hydrogen-bonding motifs. Because the degree of functionality for the polymers is 2.0, the formation of alternating, blocky copolymers was demonstrated in both solution and the bulk leading to stable, microphase-separated copolymer morphologies.

Mechanistic Investigations of the Iron(III)-Catalyzed Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis Reaction.

Project description:Iron(III)-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin ring-closing metathesis represents a new approach toward the assembly of molecules traditionally generated by olefin-olefin metathesis or olefination. Herein, we report detailed synthetic, spectroscopic, kinetic, and computational studies to determine the mechanistic features imparted by iron(III), substrate, and temperature to the catalytic cycle. These data are consistent with an iron(III)-mediated asynchronous, concerted [2+2]-cycloaddition to form an intermediate oxetane as the turnover-limiting step. Fragmentation of the oxetane via Lewis acid-activation results in the formation of five- and six-membered unsaturated carbocycles.

Olefin metathesis catalysts embedded in ?-barrel proteins: creating artificial metalloproteins for olefin metathesis.

Project description:This review summarizes the recent progress of Grubbs-Hoveyda (GH) type olefin metathesis catalysts incorporated into the robust fold of ?-barrel proteins. Anchoring strategies are discussed and challenges and opportunities in this emerging field are shown from simple small-molecule transformations over ring-opening metathesis polymerizations to in vivo olefin metathesis.

Characterization and dynamics of substituted ruthenacyclobutanes relevant to the olefin cross-metathesis reaction.

Project description:The reaction of the phosphonium alkylidene [(H(2)IMes)RuCl(2)=CHP(Cy)(3))](+) BF(4)(-) with propene, 1-butene, and 1-hexene at -45 °C affords various substituted, metathesis-active ruthenacycles. These metallacycles were found to equilibrate over extended reaction times in response to decreases in ethylene concentrations, which favored increased populations of ?-monosubstituted and ?,?'-disubstituted (both cis and trans) ruthenacycles. On an NMR time scale, rapid chemical exchange was found to preferentially occur between the ?-hydrogens of the cis and trans stereoisomers prior to olefin exchange. Exchange on an NMR time scale was also observed between the ?- and ?-methylene groups of the monosubstituted ruthenacycle (H(2)IMes)Cl(2)Ru(CHRCH(2)CH(2)) (R = CH(3), CH(2)CH(3), (CH(2))(3)CH(3)). EXSY NMR experiments at -87 °C were used to determine the activation energies for both of these exchange processes. In addition, new methods have been developed for the direct preparation of metathesis-active ruthenacyclobutanes via the protonolysis of dichloro(1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene)(benzylidene) bis(pyridine)ruthenium(II) and its 3-bromopyridine analogue. Using either trifluoroacetic acid or silica-bound toluenesulfonic acid as the proton source, the ethylene-derived ruthenacyclobutane (H(2)IMes)Cl(2)Ru(CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)) was observed in up to 98% yield via NMR at -40 °C. On the basis of these studies, mechanisms accounting for the positional and stereochemical exchange within ruthenacyclobutanes are proposed, as well as the implications of these dynamics toward olefin metathesis catalyst and reaction design are described.

Bronsted-Acid-Catalyzed Intramolecular Carbonyl-Olefin Reactions: Interrupted Metathesis vs Carbonyl-Ene Reaction.

Project description:Lewis acid catalysts have been shown to promote carbonyl-olefin metathesis through a critical four-membered-ring oxetane intermediate. Recently, Brønsted-acid catalysis of related substrates was similarly proposed to result in a transient oxetane, which fragments within a single elementary step via a postulated oxygen-atom transfer mechanism. Herein, careful quantum chemical investigations show that Brønsted acid (triflic acid, TfOH) instead invokes a mechanistic switch to a carbonyl-ene reaction, and oxygen-atom transfer is uncompetitive. TfOH's conjugate base is also found to rearrange H atoms and allow isomerization of the carbocations that appear after the carbonyl-ene reaction. The mechanism explains available experimental information, including the skipped diene species that appear transiently before product formation. The present study clarifies the mechanism for activation of intramolecular carbonyl-olefin substrates by Brønsted acids and provides important insights that will help develop this exciting class of catalysts.

Addition of Sodium Additives for Improved Performance of Water-Gas Shift Reaction over Ni-Based Catalysts.

Project description:The effect of Na loading on water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) activity of Ni@TiO x -XNa (X = 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 wt %) catalysts has been investigated. Herein, we report sodium-modified Ni@TiO x catalysts (denoted as Ni@TiO x -XNa) derived from Ni3Ti1-layered double hydroxide (Ni3Ti1-LDH) precursor. The optimized Ni@TiO x -1Na catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic performance toward WGSR at relatively low temperature and reaches an equilibrium CO conversion at 300 °C, which is much superior to those for most of the reported Ni-based catalysts. The H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) result demonstrates that the Ni@TiO x -1Na catalyst has a stronger metal-support interaction (MSI) than the sodium-free Ni@TiO x catalyst. The presence of stronger MSI significantly facilitates the electron transfer from TiO x support to the interfacial Ni atoms to modulate the electronic structure of Ni atoms (a sharp increase in Niδ- species), inducing the generation of more surface sites (Ov-Ti3+) accompanied by more interfacial sites (Niδ--Ov-Ti3+), revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Niδ--Ov-Ti3+ interfacial sites serve as dual-active sites for WGSR. The increase in the dual-active sites accounts for improvement in the catalytic performance of WGSR. With the tunable Ni-TiO x interaction, a feasible strategy in creating active sites by adding low-cost sodium addictive has been developed.

Olefin metathesis for chemical biology.

Project description:Chemical biology relies on effective synthetic chemistry for building molecules to probe and modulate biological function. Olefin metathesis in organic solvents is a valuable addition to this armamentarium, and developments during the previous decade are enabling metathesis in aqueous solvents for the manipulation of biomolecules. Functional group-tolerant ruthenium metathesis catalysts modified with charged moieties or hydrophilic polymers are soluble and active in water, enabling ring-opening metathesis polymerization, cross metathesis, and ring-closing metathesis. Alternatively, conventional hydrophobic ruthenium complexes catalyze a similar array of metathesis reactions in mixtures of water and organic solvents. This strategy has enabled cross metathesis on the surface of a protein. Continuing developments in catalyst design and methodology will popularize the bioorthogonal reactivity of metathesis.

"Click" and Olefin Metathesis Chemistry in Water at Room Temperature Enabled by Biodegradable Micelles.

Project description:The two laboratory reactions focus on teaching several concepts associated with green chemistry. Each uses a commercial, nontoxic, and biodegradable surfactant, TPGS-750-M, to promote organic reactions within the lipophilic cores of nanoscale micelles in water. These experiments are based on work by K. Barry Sharpless (an azide-alkyne "click" reaction) and Robert Grubbs (an olefin cross-metathesis reaction); both are suitable for an undergraduate organic laboratory. The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition of benzyl azide and 4-tolylacetylene is very rapid: the triazole product is readily isolated by filtration and is characterized by thin-layer chromatography and melting point analysis. The ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis reaction of benzyl acrylate with 1-hexene is readily monitored by thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography. The metathesis experiment comparatively evaluates the efficacy of a TPGS-750-M/water medium relative to a traditional reaction performed in dichloromethane (a common solvent used for olefin metathesis).

The Impact of Water on Ru-Catalyzed Olefin Metathesis: Potent Deactivating Effects Even at Low Water Concentrations.

Project description:Ruthenium catalysts for olefin metathesis are widely viewed as water-tolerant. Evidence is presented, however, that even low concentrations of water cause catalyst decomposition, severely degrading yields. Of 11 catalysts studied, fast-initiating examples (e.g., the Grela catalyst RuCl2(H2IMes)(=CHC6H4-2-O i Pr-5-NO2) were most affected. Maximum water tolerance was exhibited by slowly initiating iodide and cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) derivatives. Computational investigations indicated that hydrogen bonding of water to substrate can also play a role, by retarding cyclization relative to decomposition. These results have important implications for olefin metathesis in organic media, where water is a ubiquitous contaminant, and for aqueous metathesis, which currently requires superstoichiometric "catalyst" for demanding reactions.
