Efficient and Practical Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Simple Bidentate Mn-NHC Complex.

ABSTRACT: Catalytic reductions of carbonyl-containing compounds are highly important for the safe, sustainable, and economical production of alcohols. Herein, we report on the efficient transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by a highly potent Mn(I)-NHC complex. Mn-NHC 1 is practical at metal concentrations as low as 75 ppm, thus approaching loadings more conventionally reserved for noble metal based systems. With these low Mn concentrations, catalyst deactivation is found to be highly temperature dependent and becomes especially prominent at increased reaction temperature. Ultimately, understanding of deactivation pathways could help close the activity/stability-gap with Ru and Ir catalysts towards the practical implementation of sustainable earth-abundant Mn-complexes.

Aminotriazole Mn(I) Complexes as Effective Catalysts for Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones.

Project description:A catalytic system based on complexes comprising abundant and cheap manganese together with readily available aminotriazole ligands is reported. The new Mn(I) complexes are catalytically competent in transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol as hydrogen source. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions at 80 °C for 20 h with 3 % of catalyst loading using either KO t Bu or NaOH as base. Good to excellent yields were obtained for a wide substrate scope with broad functional group tolerance. The obtained results by varying the substitution pattern of the ligand are consistent with an out-sphere mechanism for the H-transfer.

Mechanistic Complexity of Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation with Simple Mn-Diamine Catalysts.

Project description:The catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones is a powerful methodology for the practical and efficient installation of chiral centers. Herein, we describe the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic application of a series of manganese complexes bearing simple chiral diamine ligands. We performed an extensive experimental and computational mechanistic study and present the first detailed experimental kinetic study of Mn-catalyzed ATH. We demonstrate that conventional mechanistic approaches toward catalyst optimization fail and how apparently different precatalysts lead to identical intermediates and thus catalytic performance. Ultimately, the Mn-N,N complexes under study enable quantitative ATH of acetophenones to the corresponding chiral alcohols with 75-87% ee.

Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by Symmetric Imino-N-heterocyclic Carbene Co(III) Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis of new moisture-sensitive imine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor salts [1-(2-[(hydroxyl-benzylidene)-amino]-ethyl)-3-R-3H-imidazole-1-ium bromide; R = methyl (1a), ethyl (1b), and benzyl (1c)] is reported. Subsequent deprotonation of 1a-c and coordination of the in situ generated NHC ligands to CoBr2 led to the isolation of air-stable six-coordinate Co(III) complexes 2a-c, respectively. All the salts and complexes were fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2a and 2c showed octahedral Co centers hexacoordinated to two NHC carbons, two imine nitrogen atoms, and two phenolate oxygens in the form [C^N^O(Co3+)C^N^O]. The complexes were used in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of a range of ketones in 2-propanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor. Based on a low catalyst concentration of 0.4 mol %, significant conversions in the range of 70-99% were recorded at high turnover frequencies up to 1635 h-1. A mechanism to account for the steps involved in the CTH of cyclohexanone by complex 2a is proposed and supported by data from cyclic voltammetry, low-resolution mass spectrometry, UV, and IR spectroscopic techniques.

trans-Diastereoselective Ru(II)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of α-Acetamido Benzocyclic Ketones via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution.

Project description:A highly efficient enantio- and diastereoselective catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR-ATH) of α,β-dehydro-α-acetamido and α-acetamido benzocyclic ketones to ent- trans-β-amido alcohols is disclosed employing a new ansa-Ru(II) complex of an enantiomerically pure syn- N, N-ligand, i.e. ent- syn-ULTAM-(CH2)3Ph. DFT calculations of the transition state structures revealed an atypical two-pronged substrate attractive stabilization engaging the commonly encountered CH/π electrostatic interaction and a new additional O═S═O···HNAc H-bond hence favoring the trans-configured products.

Cationic NHC-Phosphine Iridium Complexes: Highly Active Catalysts for Base-Free Hydrogenation of Ketones.

Project description:Novel bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complexes have been synthesized and evaluated in the hydrogenation of ketones. Reported catalytic systems require base additives and, if excluded, need elevated temperature or high pressure of hydrogen gas to achieve satisfactory reactivity. The developed catalysts showed extremely high reactivity and good enantioselectivity under base-free and mild conditions. In the presence of 1 mol % catalyst under 1 bar hydrogen pressure at room temperature, hydrogenation was complete in 30 minutes giving up to 96 % ee. Again, this high reactivity was achieved in additive-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that balloon pressure of hydrogen was sufficient to form the activate species by reducing and eliminating the 1,5-cyclooctadiene ligand. The pre-activated catalyst was able to hydrogenate acetophenone with 89 % conversion in 5 min.

Mn(I) phosphine-amino-phosphinites: a highly modular class of pincer complexes for enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of aryl-alkyl ketones.

Project description:A series of Mn(I) catalysts with readily accessible and more π-accepting phosphine-amino-phosphinite (P'(O)N(H)P) pincer ligands have been explored for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aryl-alkyl ketones which led to good to high enantioselectivities (up to 98%) compared to other reported Mn-based catalysts for such reactions. The easy tunability of the chiral backbone and the phosphine moieties makes P'(O)N(H)P an alternative ligand framework to the well-known PNP-type pincers.

Computational Prediction of Ammonia-Borane Dehydrocoupling and Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones and Imines Catalyzed by SCS Nickel Pincer Complexes.

Project description:Inspired by the catalytic mechanism and active site structure of lactate racemase, three scorpion-like SCS nickel pincer complexes were proposed as potential catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines with ammonia-borane (AB) as the hydrogen source. Density functional theory calculations reveal a stepwise hydride and proton transfer mechanism for the dehydrocoupling of AB and hydrogenation of N-methylacetonimine, and a concerted proton-coupled hydride transfer process for hydrogenation of acetone, acetophenone, and 3-methyl-2-butanone. Among all proposed Ni complexes, the one with symmetric NH2 group on both arms of the SCS pincer ligand has the lowest free energy barrier of 15.0 kcal/mol for dehydrogenation of AB, as well as total free energy barriers of 17.8, 18.2, 18.0, and 18.6 kcal/mol for hydrogenation of acetone, N-methylacetonimine, acetophenone, and 3-methyl-2-butanone, respectively.

Manganese-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Ketones under Mild and Base-free Conditions.

Project description:In this paper, several Mn(I) complexes were applied as catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe) (CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under base-free conditions with a catalyst loading of 3 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar. A temperature-dependent selectivity for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls was observed. At room temperature, the carbonyl group was selectively hydrogenated, while the C=C bond stayed intact. At 60 °C, fully saturated systems were obtained. A plausible mechanism based on DFT calculations which involves an inner-sphere hydride transfer is proposed.

General and Efficient Copper-Catalyzed Oxazaborolidine Complex in Transfer Hydrogenation of Isoquinolines under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A general and efficient method for copper-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of isoquinolines with an oxazaborolidine-BH3 complex, under mild reaction conditions, is successfully developed. A broad range of isoquinolines has been reduced to the corresponding products with 61-85% yields. The method is applied to the synthesis of biologically active tetrahydrosioquinoline alkaloid (±)-norlaudanosine in 62% yield, which is the key precursor for the preparation of (±)-laudanosine, (±)-N-methyl-laudanosine, and (±)-xylopinine in one or two steps.

Efficient Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes Catalyzed by Well-Defined Iron(II) PNP Pincer Complexes: Evidence for an Insertion Mechanism.

Project description:We have prepared and structurally characterized a new class of Fe(II) PNP pincer hydride complexes [Fe(PNP-iPr)(H)(CO)(L)] n (L = Br-, CH3CN, pyridine, PMe3, SCN-, CO, BH4-; n = 0, +1) based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine scaffold where the PiPr2 moieties of the PNP ligand are connected to the pyridine ring via NH and/or NMe spacers. Complexes [Fe(PNP-iPr)(H)(CO)(L)] n with labile ligands (L = Br-, CH3CN, BH4-) and NH spacers are efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of both ketones and aldehydes to alcohols under mild conditions, while those containing inert ligands (L = pyridine, PMe3, SCN-, CO) are catalytically inactive. Interestingly, complex [Fe(PNPMe-iPr)(H)(CO)(Br)], featuring NMe spacers, is an efficient catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes. The first type of complexes involves deprotonation of the PNP ligand as well as heterolytic dihydrogen cleavage via metal-alkoxide cooperation, but no reversible aromatization/deprotonation of the PNP ligand. In the case of the N-methylated complex the mechanism remains unclear, but obviously does not allow bifunctional activation of dihydrogen. The experimental results complemented by DFT calculations strongly support an insertion of the C=O bond of the carbonyl compound into the Fe-H bond.
