Modified N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand for the Recovery of Olefin Metathesis Catalysts via Noncovalent Host-Guest Interactions.

ABSTRACT: A general method, focusing upon olefin metathesis, was developed for the recovery of homogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts from crude reaction solutions. This method utilizes the supramolecular host-guest interaction between an azobenzene-modified N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and a silica-grafted ?-cyclodextrin to remove homogeneous catalyst in a heterogeneous manner, allowing for the recovery of more than 97% of ruthenium in solution. The robust and simple nature of the guest molecule allows for the application of this method to a wide range of homogeneous catalysts. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of the said precatalyst and host compound as well as proof-of-concept recovery trials for a number of common substrates, with the residual ruthenium content of reaction mixtures evaluated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

A general method, focusing upon olefin metathesis, was developed for the recovery of homogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts from crude reaction solutions. This method utilizes the supramolecular host-guest interaction between an azobenzene-modified N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and a silica-grafted β-cyclodextrin to remove homogeneous catalyst in a heterogeneous manner, allowing for the recovery of more than 97% of ruthenium in solution. The robust and simple nature of the guest molecule ...[more]

A Ruthenium Catalyst for Olefin Metathesis Featuring an Anti-Bredt N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand.

Project description:A ruthenium complex bearing an "anti-Bredt" N-heterocyclic carbene was synthesized, characterized and evaluated as a catalyst for olefin metathesis. Good conversions were observed at room temperature for the formation of di- and tri-substituted olefins by ring-closing metathesis. It also allowed for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctadiene, as well as for the cross-metathesis of cis-1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene with allyl-benzene, with enhanced Z/E kinetic selectivity over classical NHC-based catalysts.

Grubbs-Hoveyda type catalysts bearing a dicationic N-heterocyclic carbene for biphasic olefin metathesis reactions in ionic liquids.

Project description:The novel dicationic metathesis catalyst [(RuCl2(H2ITapMe2)(=CH-2-(2-PrO)-C6H4))(2+) (OTf(-))2] (Ru-2, H2ITapMe2 = 1,3-bis(2',6'-dimethyl-4'-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene, OTf(-) = CF3SO3 (-)) based on a dicationic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand was prepared. The reactivity was tested in ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) under biphasic conditions using a nonpolar organic solvent (toluene) and the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BDMIM(+)][BF4 (-)]. The structure of Ru-2 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.

The Influence of Various N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands on Activity of Nitro-Activated Olefin Metathesis Catalysts.

Project description:A set of nitro-activated ruthenium-based Hoveyda-Grubbs type olefin metathesis catalysts bearing sterically modified N-hetero-cyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been obtained, characterised and studied in a set of model metathesis reactions. It was found that catalysts bearing standard SIMes and SIPr ligands (4a and 4b) gave the best results in metathesis of substrates with more accessible C-C double bonds. At the same time, catalysts bearing engineered naphthyl-substituted NHC ligands (4d-e) exhibited high activity towards formation of tetrasubstituted C-C double bonds, the reaction which was traditionally Achilles' heel of the nitro-activated Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst.

Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts Bearing Carbohydrate-Based N-Heterocyclic Carbenes.

Project description:Ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts containing carbohydrate-derived NHCs from glucose and galactose were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. 2D-NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of Ru-C (benzylidene) rotamers at RT and the rate of rotation was measured using magnetization transfer and VT-NMR spectroscopy. The catalysts were found to be effective at ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), ring closing metathesis (RCM), cross metathesis (CM), and asymmetric ring opening cross metathesis (AROCM) and showed surprising selectivity in both CM and AROCM.

Cationic Group VI Metal Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Nitrile Complexes: Bench-Stable, Functional-Group-Tolerant Olefin Metathesis Catalysts.

Project description:Despite their excellent selectivities and activities, Mo-and W-based catalysts for olefin metathesis have not gained the same widespread use as Ru-based systems, mainly due to their inherent air sensitivity. Herein, we describe the synthesis of air-stable cationic-at-metal molybdenum and tungsten imido alkylidene NHC nitrile complexes. They catalyze olefin metathesis reactions of substrates containing functional groups such as (thio-) esters, (thio-) ethers and alcohols without the need for prior activation, for example, by a Lewis acid. The presence of a nitrile ligand was found to be essential for their stability towards air, while no decrease in activity and productivity could be observed upon coordination of a nitrile. Variations of the imido and anionic ligand revealed that alkoxide complexes with electron-withdrawing imido ligands offer the highest reactivities and excellent stability compared to analogous triflate and halide complexes.

Conformations of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands in ruthenium complexes relevant to olefin metathesis.

Project description:The structure of ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalyst 3 and model pi-complex 5 in solution and in the solid state are reported. The N-tolyl ligands, due to their lower symmetry than the traditional N-mesityl substituents, complicate this analysis, but ultimately provide explanation for the enhanced reactivity of 3 relative to standard catalyst 2. The tilt of the N-tolyl ring provides additional space near the ruthenium center, which is consistent with the enhanced reactivity of 3 toward sterically demanding substrates. Due to this tilt, the more sterically accessible face bears the two methyl substituents of the N-aryl rings. These experimental studies are supported by computational studies of these complexes by DFT. The experimental data provides a means to validate the accuracy of the B3LYP and M06 functionals. B3LYP provides geometries that match X-ray crystal structural data more closely, though it leads to slightly less (approximately 0.5 kcal mol-1) accuracy than M06 most likely because it underestimates attractive noncovalent interactions.

Mechanism of Olefin Metathesis with Neutral and Cationic Molybdenum Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes.

Project description:A series of neutral molybdenum imido alkylidene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) bistriflate and monotriflate monoalkoxide complexes as well as cationic molybdenum imido alkylidene triflate complexes have been subjected to NMR spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic, and reaction kinetic measurements in order to gain a comprehensive understanding about the underlying mechanism in olefin metathesis of this new type of catalysts. On the basis of experimental evidence and on DFT calculations (BP86/def2-TZVP/D3/cosmo) for the entire mechanism, olefinic substrates coordinate trans to the NHC of neutral 16-electron complexes via an associative mechanism, followed by dissociation of an anionic ligand (e.g., triflate) and formation of an intermediary molybdacyclobutane trans to the NHC. Formation of a cationic complex is crucial in order to become olefin metathesis active. Variations in the NHC, the imido, the alkoxide, and the noncoordinating anion revealed their influence on reactivity. The reaction of neutral 16-electron complexes with 2-methoxystyrene is faster for catalysts bearing one triflate and one fluorinated alkoxide than for catalysts bearing two triflate ligands. This is also reflected by the Gibbs free energy values for the transition states, Δ G‡303, which are significantly lower for catalysts bearing only one triflate than for the corresponding bistriflate complexes. Reaction of a solvent-stabilized cationic molybdenum imido alkylidene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) monotriflate complex with 2-methoxystyrene proceeded via an associative mechanism too. Reaction rates of both solvent-free and solvent-stabilized cationic Mo imido alkylidene NHC catalysts with 2-methoxystyrene are controlled by the cross-metathesis step but not by adduct formation.

New metathesis catalyst bearing chromanyl moieties at the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand.

Project description:The synthesis of a new type of Hoveyda-Grubbs 2(nd) generation catalyst bearing a modified N-heterocyclic carbene ligands is reported. The new catalyst contains an NHC ligand symmetrically substituted with chromanyl moieties. The complex was tested in model CM and RCM reactions. It showed very high activity in CM reactions with electron-deficient ?,?-unsaturated compounds even at 0 °C. It was also examined in more demanding systems such as conjugated dienes and polyenes. The catalyst is stable, storable and easy to purify.

Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts Featuring N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands Tagged with Isonicotinic and 4-(Dimethylamino)benzoic Acid Rests: Evaluation of a Modular Synthetic Strategy.

Project description:A modular and flexible strategy towards the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands bearing Brønsted base tags has been proposed and then adopted in the preparation of two tagged NHC ligands bearing rests of isonicotinic and 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acids. Such tagged NHC ligands represent an attractive starting point for the synthesis of olefin metathesis ruthenium catalysts tagged in non-dissociating ligands. The influence of the Brønsted basic tags on the activity of such obtained olefin metathesis catalysts has been studied.
