Manganese-Catalyzed β-Methylation of Alcohols by Methanol.

ABSTRACT: We report an earth-abundant-metal-catalyzed double and single methylation of alcohols. A manganese catalyst, which operates at low catalyst loadings and short reaction times, mediates these reactions efficiently. A broad scope of primary and secondary alcohols, including purely aliphatic examples, and 1,2-aminoalcohols can be methylated. Furthermore, alcohol methylation for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals has been demonstrated. The catalyst system tolerates many functional groups among them hydrogenation-sensitive examples and upscaling is easily achieved. Mechanistic investigations are indicative of a borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer mechanism involving a bimetallic K-Mn catalyst. The catalyst accepts hydrogen as a proton and a hydride from alcohols efficiently and reacts with a chalcone via hydride transfer.

Manganese(I)-Catalyzed ?-Methylation of Alcohols Using Methanol as C<sub>1</sub> Source.

Project description:Highly selective ?-methylation of alcohols was achieved using an earth-abundant first row transition metal in the air stable molecular manganese complex [Mn(CO)2 Br[HN(C2 H4 Pi Pr2 )2 ]] 1 ([HN(C2 H4 Pi Pr2 )2 ]=MACHO-i Pr). The reaction requires only low loadings of 1 (0.5?mol?%), methanolate as base and MeOH as methylation reagent as well as solvent. Various alcohols were ?-methylated with very good selectivity (>99?%) and excellent yield (up to 94?%). Biomass derived aliphatic alcohols and diols were also selectively methylated on the ?-position, opening a pathway to "biohybrid" molecules constructed entirely from non-fossil carbon. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through a borrowing hydrogen pathway involving metal-ligand cooperation at the Mn-pincer complex. This transformation provides a convenient, economical, and environmentally benign pathway for the selective C-C bond formation with potential applications for the preparation of advanced biofuels, fine chemicals, and biologically active molecules.

Manganese(I)-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Ketones and Secondary Alcohols with Primary Alcohols.

Project description:Catalytic cross-coupling of ketones and secondary alcohols with primary alcohols is reported. An abundant manganese-based pincer catalyst catalyzes the reactions. Low loading of catalyst (2 mol %) and catalytic use of a mild base (5-10 mol %) are sufficient for efficient cross-coupling. Various aryl and heteroaryl ketones are catalytically cross-coupled with primary alcohols to provide the selective α-alkylated products. Challenging α-ethylation of ketones is also attained using ethanol as an alkylating reagent. Further, direct use of secondary alcohols in the reaction results in in situ oxidation to provide the ketone intermediates, which undergo selective α-alkylation. The reaction proceeds via the borrowing hydrogen pathway. The catalyst oxidizes the primary alcohols to aldehydes, which undergo subsequent aldol condensation with ketones, promoted by catalytic amount of Cs2CO3, to provide the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates. The hydrogen liberated from oxidation of alcohols is used for hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediates. Notably either water or water and dihydrogen are the only byproducts in these environmentally benign catalytic processes. Mechanistic studies allowed inferring all of the intermediates involved. Dearomatization-aromatization metal-ligand cooperation in the catalyst facilitates the facile O-H bond activation of both primary and secondary alcohols, and the resultant manganese alkoxide complexes produce corresponding carbonyl compounds, perhaps via β-hydride elimination. The manganese(I) hydride intermediate plays dual role as it hydrogenates α,β-unsaturated ketones and liberates molecular hydrogen to regenerate the catalytically active dearomatized intermediate. Metal-ligand cooperation allows all of the manganese intermediates to exist in same oxidation state (+1) and plays an important role in these catalytic cross-coupling reactions.

Manganese-Catalyzed α-Alkylation of Ketones, Esters, and Amides Using Alcohols.

Project description:Herein we report the manganese-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions via α-alkylation of ketones, amides, and esters, using primary alcohols. β-Alkylation of secondary alcohols by primary alcohols to obtain α-alkylated ketones is also reported. The reactions are catalyzed by a ( i Pr-PNP)Mn(H)(CO)2 pincer complex under mild conditions in the presence of (catalytic) base liberating water (and H2 in the case of secondary alcohol alkylation) as the sole byproduct.

Reduction of Carboxylic Acids to Alcohols via Manganese(I) Catalyzed Hydrosilylation.

Project description:The reduction of carboxylic acids to the respective alcohols, in mild conditions, was achieved using [MnBr(CO)5] as the catalyst and bench stable PhSiH3 as the reducing agent. It was shown that the reaction with the earth-abundant metal catalyst could be performed either with a catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol %, rare with the use of [MnBr(CO)5], or on a gram scale employing only 1.5 equiv of PhSiH3, the lowest amount of silane reported to date for this transformation. Kinetic data and control experiments have provided initial insight into the mechanism of the catalytic process, suggesting that it proceeds via the formation of silyl ester intermediates and ligand dissociation to generate a coordinatively unsaturated Mn(I) complex as the active species.

Project description:Herein we report the iron-catalyzed ?-C(sp3)-methylation of primary alcohols using methanol as a C1 building block. This borrowing hydrogen approach employs a well-defined bench-stable (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as precatalyst (5 mol %) and enables a diverse selection of substituted 2-arylethanols to undergo ?-C(sp3)-methylation in good isolated yields (24 examples, 65% average yield).

Development and mechanistic investigation of the manganese(iii) salen-catalyzed dehydrogenation of alcohols.

Project description:The first example of a manganese(iii) catalyst for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols is presented. N,N'-Bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminomanganese(iii) chloride (2) has been shown to catalyze the direct synthesis of imines from a variety of alcohols and amines with the liberation of hydrogen gas. The mechanism has been investigated experimentally with labelled substrates and theoretically with DFT calculations. The results indicate a metal-ligand bifunctional pathway in which both imine groups in the salen ligand are first reduced to form a manganese(iii) amido complex as the catalytically active species. Dehydrogenation of the alcohol then takes place by a stepwise outer-sphere hydrogen transfer generating a manganese(iii) salan hydride from which hydrogen gas is released.

Polyoxymethylene Upcycling into Methanol and Methyl Groups Catalyzed by a Manganese Pincer Complex.

Project description:Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a commonly used engineering thermoplastic, but its recycling by conventional means, i.e., mechanical recycling, is not practiced to any meaningful extent, due to technical limitations. Instead, waste POM is typically incinerated or disposed in landfills, where it becomes a persistent environmental pollutant. An attractive alternative to mechanical recycling is upcycling, namely, the conversion of waste POM into value-added chemicals, but this has received very little attention. Herein, we report the upcycling of POM into useful chemicals through three different reactions, all of which are efficiently catalyzed by a single pincer complex of earth-abundant manganese. One method involves hydrogenation of POM into methanol using H2 gas as the only reagent, whereas another method converts POM into methanol and CO2 through a one-pot process comprising acidolysis followed by Mn-catalyzed disproportionation. The third method utilizes POM as a reagent for the methylation of ketones and amines.

Manganese complex-catalyzed oxidation and oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:The highly efficient catalytic oxidation and oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) of secondary alcohols has been achieved using a synthetic manganese catalyst with low loading and hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant in the presence of a small amount of sulfuric acid as an additive. The product yields were high (up to 93%) for alcohol oxidation and the enantioselectivity was excellent (>90% ee) for the OKR of secondary alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that alcohol oxidation occurs via hydrogen atom (H-atom) abstraction from an α-CH bond of the alcohol substrate and a two-electron process by an electrophilic Mn-oxo species. Density functional theory calculations revealed the difference in reaction energy barriers for H-atom abstraction from the α-CH bonds of R- and S-enantiomers by a chiral high-valent manganese-oxo complex, supporting the experimental result from the OKR of secondary alcohols.

Reversible interconversion between methanol-diamine and diamide for hydrogen storage based on manganese catalyzed (de)hydrogenation.

Project description:The development of cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient catalysts for liquid organic hydrogen carrier systems is a significant goal. However, all the reported liquid organic hydrogen carrier systems relied on the use of precious metal catalysts. Herein, a liquid organic hydrogen carrier system based on non-noble metal catalysis was established. The Mn-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of methanol and N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine to form N,N'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N-methylformamide), and the reverse hydrogenation reaction constitute a hydrogen storage system with a theoretical hydrogen capacity of 5.3 wt%. A rechargeable hydrogen storage could be achieved by a subsequent hydrogenation of the resulting dehydrogenation mixture to regenerate the H2-rich compound. The maximum selectivity for the dehydrogenative amide formation was 97%.
