Efficient and Recyclable RuCl3???3H2O Catalyst Modified with Ionic Diphosphine for the Alkoxycarbonylation of Aryl Halides.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A series of ionic (mono-/di-)phosphines (L2, L4, and L6) with structural similarity and their corresponding neutral counterparts (L1, L3, and L5) were applied to modulate the catalytic performance of RuCl3???3H2O. With the involvement of the ionic diphosphine (L4), in which the two phosphino-fragments were linked by butylene group, RuCl3???3H2O with advantages of low cost, robustness, and good availability was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the alkoxycarbonylation of aryl halides. The L4-based RuCl3???3H2O system corresponded to the best conversion of PhI (96?%) along with 99?% selectivity to the target product of methyl benzoate as well as the good generality to alkoxycarbonylation of different aryl halides (ArX, X=I and Br) with alcohols MeOH, EtOH, i-PrOH and n-BuOH. The electronic and steric effects of the applied phosphines, which were analyzed by the 31P NMR for 1 J 31 P- 77 Se 1 J measurement and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, were carefully co-related to the performance RuCl3???3H2O catalyst. In addition, the L4-based RuCl3???3H2O system could be recycled successfully for at least eight runs in the ionic liquid [Bmim]PF6.
