CO Oxidation by N₂O Homogeneously Catalyzed by Ruthenium Hydride Pincer Complexes Indicating a New Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Both CO and N₂O are important, environmentally harmful industrial gases. The reaction of CO and N₂O to produce CO₂ and N₂ has stimulated much research interest aimed at degradation of these two gases in a single step. Herein, we report an efficient CO oxidation by N₂O catalyzed by a (PNN)Ru-H pincer complex under mild conditions, even with no added base. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a sequence of O-atom transfer (OAT) from N₂O to the Ru-H bond to form a Ru-OH intermediate, followed by intramolecular OH attack on an adjacent CO ligand, forming CO₂ and N₂. Thus, the Ru-H bond of the catalyst plays a central role in facilitating the OAT from N₂O to CO, providing an efficient and novel protocol for CO oxidation.

Ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2.

Project description:The first ruthenium-catalyzed umpolung carboxylation of hydrazones with CO2 to generate important aryl acetic acids is reported. Besides aldehyde hydrazones, a variety of ketone hydrazones, which have not been successfully applied in previous umpolung reactions with other reactive electrophiles, also show high reactivity and selectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, this operationally simple protocol features good functional group tolerance, is readily scalable, and offers easy derivation of important structures, including bioactive felbinac and adiphenine. Computational studies reveal that this umpolung reaction proceeds through the generation of a Ru-nitrenoid followed by concerted [4 + 2] cycloaddition with CO2.

Synthesis and Catalytic Reactivity of Cobalt Pincer Nitrosyl Hydride Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of low-spin {CoNO}8 pincer complexes of the type [Co(PCP)(NO)(H)] are described. These compounds are obtained either by reacting [Co(PCP)(κ2-BH4)] with NO and Et3N or, alternatively, by reacting [Co(PCP)(NO)]+ with boranes, such as NH3·BH3 in solution. The five-coordinate, diamagnetic Co(III) complex [Co(PCPNMe-iPr)(NO)(H)] was found to be the active species in the hydroboration of alkenes with anti-Markovnikov selectivity. A range of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were efficiently converted with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild conditions in good to excellent yield. Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of isotope labeling, NMR spectroscopy, and APCI/ESI-MS as well as DFT calculations.

Mononuclear Phenolate Diamine Zinc Hydride Complexes and Their Reactions With CO2.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, and zinc coordination chemistry of the three proligands 2-tert-butyl-4-[tert-butyl (1)/methoxy (2)/nitro (3)]-6-{[(2'-dimethylaminoethyl)methylamino]methyl}phenol are described. Each of the ligands was reacted with diethylzinc to yield zinc ethyl complexes 4-6; these complexes were subsequently reacted with phenylsilanol to yield zinc siloxide complexes 7-9. Finally, the zinc siloxide complexes were reacted with phenylsilane to produce the three new zinc hydride complexes 10-12. The new complexes 4-12 have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. The structures of the zinc hydride complexes have been probed using VT-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments. These data indicate that the complexes exhibit mononuclear structures at 298 K, both in the solid state and in solution (d8-toluene). At 203 K, the NMR signals broaden, consistent with an equilibrium between the mononuclear and dinuclear bis(μ-hydrido) complexes. All three zinc hydride complexes react rapidly and quantitatively with carbon dioxide, at 298 K and 1 bar of pressure over 20 min, to form the new zinc formate complexes 13-15. The zinc formate complexes have been analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and VT-NMR studies, which reveal a temperature-dependent monomer-dimer equilibrium that is dominated by the mononuclear species at 298 K.

Comparative study of CO2 insertion into pincer supported palladium alkyl and aryl complexes.

Project description:The insertion of CO2 into metal alkyl bonds is a crucial elementary step in transition metal-catalyzed processes for CO2 utilization. Here, we synthesize pincer-supported palladium complexes of the type (tBuPBP)Pd(alkyl) (tBuPBP = B(NCH2PtBu2)2C6H4-; alkyl = CH2CH3, CH2CH2CH3, CH2C6H5, and CH2-4-OMe-C6H4) and (tBuPBP)Pd(C6H5) and compare the rates of CO2 insertion into the palladium alkyl bonds to form metal carboxylate complexes. Although, the rate constant for CO2 insertion into (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH3) is more than double the rate constant we previously measured for insertion into the palladium methyl complex (tBuPBP)Pd(CH3), insertion into (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH2CH3) occurs approximately one order of magnitude slower than (tBuPBP)Pd(CH3). CO2 insertion into the benzyl complexes (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2C6H5) and (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2-4-OMe-C6H4) is significantly slower than any of the n-alkyl complexes, and CO2 does not insert into the palladium phenyl bond of (tBuPBP)Pd(C6H5). While (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH3) and (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2CH2CH3) are resistant to β-hydride elimination, we were unable to synthesize complexes with n-butyl, iso-propyl, and tert-butyl ligands due to β-hydride elimination and an unusual reductive coupling, which involves the formation of new C-B bonds. This reductive process also occurred for (tBuPBP)Pd(CH2C6H5) at elevated temperature and a related process involving the formation of a new H-B bond prevented the isolation of (tBuPBP)PdH. DFT calculations provide insight into the relative rates of CO2 insertion and indicate that steric factors are critical. Overall, this work is one of the first comparative studies of the rates of CO2 insertion into different metal alkyl bonds and provides fundamental information that may be important for the development of new catalysts for CO2 utilization.

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.

Electrochemical C-H bond activation via cationic iridium hydride pincer complexes.

Project description:A C-H bond activation strategy based on electrochemical activation of a metal hydride is introduced. Electrochemical oxidation of ( tBu4 PCP)IrH4 ( tBu4 PCP is [1,3-( t Bu2PCH2)-C6H3]-) in the presence of pyridine derivatives generates cationic Ir hydride complexes of the type [( tBu4 PCP)IrH(L)]+ (where L = pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, or 2-phenylpyridine). Facile deprotonation of [( tBu4 PCP)IrH(2,6-lutidine)]+ with the phosphazene base tert-butylimino-tris(pyrrolidino)phosphorane, t BuP1(pyrr), results in selective C-H activation of 1,2-difluorobenzene (1,2-DFB) solvent to generate ( tBu4 PCP)Ir(H)(2,3-C6F2H3). The overall electrochemical C-H activation reaction proceeds at room temperature without need for chemical activation by a sacrificial alkene hydrogen acceptor. This rare example of undirected electrochemical C-H activation holds promise for the development of future catalytic processes.

Intermolecular Markovnikov-Selective Hydroacylation of Olefins Catalyzed by a Cationic Ruthenium-Hydride Complex.

Project description:The cationic Ru-H complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the intermolecular hydroacylation of aryl-substituted olefins with aldehydes to form branched ketone products. The preliminary kinetic and spectroscopic studies elucidated a ruthenium-acyl complex as the key intermediate species. The catalytic method directly afforded branched ketone products in a highly regioselective manner while tolerating a number of heteroatom functional groups.

Bimetallic Zr,Zr-Hydride Complexes in Zirconocene Catalyzed Alkene Dimerization.

Project description:Being valuable precursors in the production of adhesives, lubricants, and other high-performance synthetic compounds, alkene dimers and oligomers can be obtained using homogeneous zirconocene catalytic systems. Further advances in such systems require precise control of their activity and chemoselectivity, increasing both the purity and yield of the products. This relies on the process mechanism usually built around the consideration of the hydride complexes as active intermediates in the alkene di- and oligomerization; however, the majority of studies lack the direct evidence of their involvement. Parallel studies on a well-known Cp2ZrCl2-AlR3 or HAlBui2 and a novel [Cp2ZrH2]2-ClAlR2 (R = Me, Et, Bui) systems activated by methylaluminoxane (MMAO-12) have shown a deep similarity both in the catalytic performance and intermediate composition. As a result of the NMR studies, among all the intermediates considered, we proved that new Zr,Zr- hydride complexes having the type x[Cp2ZrH2∙Cp2ZrHCl∙ClAlR2]∙yMAO appear to be specifically responsible for the alkene dimerization with high yield.

Cyclometalated Ruthenium Pincer Complexes as Catalysts for the α-Alkylation of Ketones with Alcohols.

Project description:Ruthenium PNP pincer complexes bearing supplementary cyclometalated C,N-bound ligands have been prepared and fully characterized for the first time. By replacing CO and H- as ancillary ligands in such complexes, additional electronic and steric modifications of this topical class of catalysts are possible. The advantages of the new catalysts are demonstrated in the general α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols following a hydrogen autotransfer protocol. Herein, various aliphatic and benzylic alcohols were applied as green alkylating agents for ketones bearing aromatic, heteroaromatic or aliphatic substituents as well as cyclic ones. Mechanistic investigations revealed that during catalysis, Ru carboxylate complexes are predominantly formed whereas neither the PNP nor the CN ligand are released from the catalyst in significant amounts.

Ruthenium pincer complex-catalyzed heterocycle compatible alkoxycarbonylation of alkyl iodides: substrate keeps the catalyst active.

Project description:The electron pair of the heteroatom in heterocycles will coordinate with metal catalysts and decrease or even inhibit their catalytic activity consequently. In this work, a pincer ruthenium-catalyzed heterocycle compatible alkoxycarbonylation of alkyl iodides has been developed. Benefitting from the pincer ligand, a variety of heterocycles, such as thiophenes, morpholine, unprotected indoles, pyrrole, pyridine, pyrimidine, furan, thiazole, pyrazole, benzothiadiazole, and triazole, are compatible here.
