A Simple Nickel Catalyst Enabling an E-Selective Alkyne Semihydrogenation.

ABSTRACT: Stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenations are attractive approaches to alkenes, which are key building blocks for synthesis. With regards to the most atom-economic reducing agent dihydrogen (H₂ ), only few catalysts for the challenging E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation have been disclosed, each with a unique substrate scope profile. Here, we show that a commercially available nickel catalyst facilitates the E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation of a wide variety of substituted internal alkynes. This results in a simple and broadly applicable overall protocol to stereoselectively access E-alkenes employing H₂ , which could serve as a general method for synthesis.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed <i>E</i>-Selective Alkyne Semihydrogenation with Alcohols as Hydrogen Donors.

Project description:Selective direct ruthenium-catalyzed semihydrogenation of diaryl alkynes to the corresponding E-alkenes has been achieved using alcohols as the hydrogen source. The method employs a simple ruthenium catalyst, does not require external ligands, and affords the desired products in > 99% NMR yield in most cases (up to 93% isolated yield). Best results were obtained using benzyl alcohol as the hydrogen donor, although biorenewable alcohols such as furfuryl alcohol could also be applied. In addition, tandem semihydrogenation-alkylation reactions were demonstrated, with potential applications in the synthesis of resveratrol derivatives.

An N-heterocyclic carbene ligand promotes highly selective alkyne semihydrogenation with copper nanoparticles supported on passivated silica.

Project description:We report a surface organometallic route that generates copper nanoparticles (NPs) on a silica support while simultaneously passivating the silica surface with trimethylsiloxy groups. The material is active for the catalytic semihydrogenation of phenylalkyl-, dialkyl- and diaryl-alkynes and displays high chemo- and stereoselectivity at full alkyne conversion to corresponding (Z)-olefins in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy using the NHC ligand 13C-labeled at the carbenic carbon reveals a genuine coordination of the carbene to Cu NPs. The presence of distinct Cu surface environments and the coordination of the NHC to specific Cu sites likely account for the increased selectivity.

Polyhedral Cu2O to Cu pseudomorphic conversion for stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenation.

Project description:Cu2O cubes, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra can be pseudomorphically converted into Cu crystals of corresponding shapes through reduction by ammonia borane in ethanol at 50 °C or below within 3 min, demonstrating the feasibility of making challenging polyhedral metal particles from metal oxide crystals. Hydrogen gas is also produced from ammonia borane in the process. The obtained Cu crystals have a slightly nanoporous interior. Addition of diphenylacetylene in the formation of Cu rhombic dodecahedra leads to complete stereoselective production of sterically hindered (Z)-stilbene. Semihydrogenation of other alkynes also gives pure (Z)-alkenes. Cu cubes and octahedra also showed considerable (Z)-stilbene selectivity along with minor formation of (E)-stilbene and bibenzyl as compared to CuCl2 and commercial Cu2O particles. Mechanistic studies reveal that the low binding affinity of alkenes on the rhombic dodecahedra surfaces leads to high product selectivity. These Cu crystals act as a green and low-cost catalyst for the synthesis of high-purity (Z)-alkenes.

Nickel boryl complexes and nickel-catalyzed alkyne borylation.

Project description:The first nickel bis-boryl complexes cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Bcat)2], cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Bpin)2] and cis-[Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(Beg)2] are reported, which were prepared via the reaction of a source of [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] with the diboron(4) compounds B2cat2, B2pin2 and B2eg2 ( i Pr2ImMe = 1,3-di-iso-propyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene; B2cat2 = bis(catecholato)diboron; B2pin2 = bis(pinacolato)diboron; B2eg2 = bis(ethylene glycolato)diboron). X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations strongly suggest that a delocalized, multicenter bonding scheme dictates the bonding situation of the NiB2 moiety in these square planar complexes, reminiscent of the bonding situation of "non-classical" H2 complexes. [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] also efficiently catalyzes the diboration of alkynes using B2cat2 as the boron source under mild conditions. In contrast to the known platinum-catalyzed diboration, the nickel system follows a different mechanistic pathway, which not only provides the 1,2-borylation product in excellent yields, but also provides an efficient approach to other products such as C-C coupled borylation products or rare tetra-borylated compounds. The mechanism of the nickel-catalyzed alkyne borylation was examined by means of stoichiometric reactions and DFT calculations. Oxidative addition of the diboron reagent to nickel is not dominant; the first steps of the catalytic cycle are coordination of the alkyne to [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2] and subsequent borylation at the coordinated and, thus, activated alkyne to yield complexes of the type [Ni(NHC)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(R)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(R)(Bcat))], exemplified by the isolation and structural characterization of [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(Me)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Me)(Bcat))] and [Ni( i Pr2ImMe)2(η2-cis-(Bcat)(H7C3)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(C3H7)(Bcat))].

Efficient Alkyne Semihydrogenation Catalysis Enabled by Synergistic Chemical and Thermal Modifications of a PdIn MOF.

Project description:Recently, there has been a growing interest in using MOF templating to synthesize heterogeneous catalysts based on metal nanoparticles on carbonaceous supports. Unlike the common approach of direct pyrolysis of PdIn-MOFs at high temperatures, this work proposes a reductive chemical treatment under mild conditions before pyrolysis (resulting in PdIn-QT). The resulting material (PdIn-QT) underwent comprehensive characterization via state-of-the-art aberration-corrected electron microscopy, N2 physisorption, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. These analyses have proven the existence of PdIn bimetallic nanoparticles supported on N-doped carbon. In situ DRIFT spectroscopy reveals the advantageous role of indium (In) in regulating Pd activity in alkyne semihydrogenation. Notably, incorporating a soft nucleation step before pyrolysis enhances surface area, porosity, and nitrogen content compared to direct MOF pyrolysis. The optimized material exhibits outstanding catalytic performance with 96% phenylacetylene conversion and 96% selectivity to phenylethylene in the fifth cycle under mild conditions (5 mmol phenylacetylene, 7 mg cat, 5 mL EtOH, R.T., 1 H2 bar).

Controlled Selectivity through Reversible Inhibition of the Catalyst: Stereodivergent Semihydrogenation of Alkynes.

Project description:Catalytic semihydrogenation of internal alkynes using H2 is an attractive atom-economical route to various alkenes, and its stereocontrol has received widespread attention, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses. Herein, a novel strategy is introduced, whereby a poisoning catalytic thiol is employed as a reversible inhibitor of a ruthenium catalyst, resulting in a controllable H2-based semihydrogenation of internal alkynes. Both (E)- and (Z)-alkenes were obtained efficiently and highly selectively, under very mild conditions, using a single homogeneous acridine-based ruthenium pincer catalyst. Mechanistic studies indicate that the (Z)-alkene is the reaction intermediate leading to the (E)-alkene and that the addition of a catalytic amount of bidentate thiol impedes the Z/E isomerization step by forming stable ruthenium thiol(ate) complexes, while still allowing the main hydrogenation reaction to proceed. Thus, the absence or presence of catalytic thiol controls the stereoselectivity of this alkyne semihydrogenation, affording either the (E)-isomer as the final product or halting the reaction at the (Z)-intermediate. The developed system, which is also applied to the controllable isomerization of a terminal alkene, demonstrates how metal catalysis with switchable selectivity can be achieved by reversible inhibition of the catalyst with a simple auxiliary additive.

Zeolite-supported ultra-small nickel as catalyst for selective oxidation of methane to syngas.

Project description:The development of simple catalysts with high performance in the selective oxidation of methane to syngas at low temperature has attracted much attention. Here we report a nickel-based solid catalyst for the oxidation of methane, synthesised by a facile impregnation method. Highly dispersed ultra-small NiO particles of 1.6 nm in size are successfully formed on the MOR-type zeolite. The zeolite-supported nickel catalyst gives continuously 97-98% methane conversion, 91-92% of CO yield with a H2/CO ratio of 2.0, and high durability without serious carbon deposition onto the catalyst at 973 K. DFT calculations demonstrate the effect of NiO particle size on the C-H dissociation process of CH4. A decrease in the NiO particle size enhances the production of oxygen originating from the NiO nanoparticles, which contributes to the oxidation of methane under a reductive environment, effectively producing syngas.

Electrochemical Proton Reduction over Nickel Foam for Z-Stereoselective Semihydrogenation/deuteration of Functionalized Alkynes.

Project description:Selective reduction strategies based on abundant-metal catalysts are very important in the production of chemicals. In this paper, a method for the electrochemical semihydrogenation and semideuteration of alkynes to form Z-alkenes was developed, using a simple nickel foam as catalyst and H3 O+ or D3 O+ as sources of hydrogen or deuterium. Good yields and excellent stereoselectivities (Z/E up to 20 : 1) were obtained under very mild reaction conditions. The reaction proceeded with terminal and nonterminal alkynes, and also with alkynes containing easily reducible functional groups, such as carbonyl groups, as well as aryl chlorides, bromides, and even iodides. The nickel-foam electrocatalyst could be recycled up to 14 times without any change in its catalytic properties.

Conditional Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition by Catalyst Encapsulation.

Project description:Supramolecular encapsulation is known to alter chemical properties of guest molecules. We have applied this strategy of molecular encapsulation to temporally control the catalytic activity of a stable copper(I)-carbene catalyst. Encapsulation of the copper(I)-carbene catalyst by the supramolecular host cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) resulted in the complete inactivation of a copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The addition of a chemical signal achieved the near instantaneous activation of the catalyst, by releasing the catalyst from the inhibited CB[7] catalyst complex. To broaden the scope of our on-demand CuAAC reaction, we demonstrated the protein labeling of vinculin with the copper(I)-carbene catalyst, to inhibit its activity by encapsulation with CB[7] and to initiate labeling at any moment by adding a specific signal molecule. Ultimately, this strategy allows for temporal control over copper-catalyzed click chemistry, on small molecules as well as protein targets.

Impact of Pore Size and Defects on the Selective Adsorption of Acetylene in Alkyne-Functionalized Nickel(II)-Pyrazolate-Based MOFs.

Project description:C2 H2 /CO2 separation is a highly challenging process as a consequence of their similar physicochemical properties. In this work we have explored, by static and dynamic gas sorption techniques and computational modelling, the suitability of a series of two isoreticular robust Ni(II)pyrazolate-based MOFs, bearing alkyne moieties on the ligand backbones, for C2 H2 /CO2 separation. The results are consistent with high adsorption capacity and selectivity of the essayed systems towards C2 H2 molecules. Furthermore, a post-synthetic treatment with KOH ethanolic solution gives rise to linker vacancy defects and incorporation of extraframework potassium ions. Creation of defects is responsible for increased adsorption capacity for both gases, however, strong interactions of the cluster basic sites and extraframework potassium cations with CO2 molecules are responsible for a lowering of C2 H2 over CO2 selectivity.
