Olefin-Supported Cationic Copper Catalysts for Photochemical Synthesis of Structurally Complex Cyclobutanes.

ABSTRACT: The sole method available for the photocycloaddition of unconjugated aliphatic alkenes is the Cu-catalyzed Salomon-Kochi reaction. The [Cu(OTf)]₂ ⋅benzene catalyst that has been standard in this reaction for many decades, however, is air-sensitive, prone to photodecomposition, and poorly reactive towards sterically bulky alkene substrates. Using bench-stable precursors, an improved catalyst system with superior reactivity and photostability has been designed, and it offers significantly expanded substrate scope. The utility of this new catalyst for the preparation of sterically crowded cyclobutane structures is highlighted through the preparation of the cores of the natural products sulcatine G and perforatol.

Intensifying Cyclopentanone Synthesis from Furfural Using Supported Copper Catalysts.

Project description:This work addresses catalytic strategies to intensify the synthesis of cyclopentanone, a bio-based platform chemical and a potential SAF precursor, via Cu-catalyzed furfural hydrogenation in aqueous media. When performed in a single step, using either uniform or staged catalytic bed configuration, high temperature and hydrogen pressures (180 °C and 38 bar) are necessary for maximum CPO yields (37 and 49 %, respectively). Parallel furanic ring hydrogenation of furfural and polymerisation of intermediates, namely furfuryl alcohol (FFA), limit CPO yields. Employing a two step configuration with optimal catalyst bed can curb this limitation. First, the furanic ring hydrogenation can be suppressed by using milder conditions (i. e., 150 °C and 7 bar, and 14 seconds of residence time). Second, FFA hydrogenation using tandem catalysis, i. e., a mix of β-zeolite and Cu/ZrO2, at 180 °C, 38 bar and 0.6, allows sufficient time for CPO formation and minimises polymerisation of FFA, thereby resulting in 60 % CPO yield. Therefore, this work recommends a split strategy to produce CPO from furfural. Such modularity may aid in addressing flexible market needs.

Olefin-Surface Interactions: A Key Activity Parameter in Silica-Supported Olefin Metathesis Catalysts.

Project description:Molecularly defined and classical heterogeneous Mo-based metathesis catalysts are shown to display distinct and unexpected reactivity patterns for the metathesis of long-chain α-olefins at low temperatures (<100 °C). Catalysts based on supported Mo oxo species, whether prepared via wet impregnation or surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC), exhibit strong activity dependencies on the α-olefin chain length, with slower reaction rates for longer substrate chain lengths. In contrast, molecular and supported Mo alkylidenes are highly active and do not display such dramatic dependence on the chain length. State-of-the-art two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses of postmetathesis catalysts, complemented by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics calculations, evidence that the activity decrease observed for supported Mo oxo catalysts relates to the strong adsorption of internal olefin metathesis products because of interactions with surface Si-OH groups. Overall, this study shows that in addition to the nature and the number of active sites, the metathesis rates and the overall catalytic performance depend on product desorption, even in the liquid phase with nonpolar substrates. This study further highlights the role of the support and active site composition and dynamics on activity as well as the need for considering adsorption in catalyst design.

Synthesis of a copper-supported triplet nitrene complex pertinent to copper-catalyzed amination.

Project description:Terminal copper-nitrenoid complexes have inspired interest in their fundamental bonding structures as well as their putative intermediacy in catalytic nitrene-transfer reactions. Here, we report that aryl azides react with a copper(I) dinitrogen complex bearing a sterically encumbered dipyrrin ligand to produce terminal copper nitrene complexes with near-linear, short copper-nitrenoid bonds [1.745(2) to 1.759(2) angstroms]. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations reveal a predominantly triplet nitrene adduct bound to copper(I), as opposed to copper(II) or copper(III) assignments, indicating the absence of a copper-nitrogen multiple-bond character. Employing electron-deficient aryl azides renders the copper nitrene species competent for alkane amination and alkene aziridination, lending further credence to the intermediacy of this species in proposed nitrene-transfer mechanisms.

Dehydrogenative Coupling of Methanol for the Gas-Phase, One-Step Synthesis of Dimethoxymethane over Supported Copper Catalysts.

Project description:Oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEs), CH3-(OCH2)n-OCH3, n = 1-5, possess attractive low-soot diesel fuel properties. Methanol is a key precursor in the production of OMEs, providing an opportunity to incorporate renewable carbon sources via gasification and methanol synthesis. The costly production of anhydrous formaldehyde in the typical process limits this option. In contrast, the direct production of OMEs via a dehydrogenative coupling (DHC) reaction, where formaldehyde is produced and consumed in a single reactor, may address this limitation. We report the gas-phase DHC reaction of methanol to dimethoxymethane (DMM), the simplest OME, with n = 1, over bifunctional metal-acid catalysts based on Cu. A Cu-zirconia-alumina (Cu/ZrAlO) catalyst achieved 40% of the DMM equilibrium-limited yield under remarkably mild conditions (200 °C, 1.7 atm). The performance of the Cu/ZrAlO catalyst was attributed to metallic Cu nanoparticles that enable dehydrogenation and a distribution of acid strengths on the ZrAlO support, which reduced the selectivity to dimethyl ether compared to a that obtained with a Cu/Al2O3 catalyst. The DMM formation rate of 6.1 h-1 compares favorably against well-studied oxidative DHC approaches over non-noble, mixed-metal oxide catalysts. The results reported here set the foundation for further development of the DHC route to OME production, rather than oxidative approaches.

Copper-catalyzed radical cascade reaction of simple cyclobutanes: synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutene derivatives.

Project description:Cyclobutenes as versatile and highly valuable synthons have been widely applied in synthesis. Although various methods for their synthesis have been well established, new strategies for the construction of the cyclobutene skeleton from simple substrates are still highly desirable. Starting from simple cyclobutanes, the construction of the cyclobutene skeleton especially introducing multiple functional groups simultaneously had never been achieved. Here, we developed a novel radical cascade strategy for the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutenes directly from cyclobutanes involving rare cleavage of four or five C-H bonds and formation of two C-N/C-S or three C-Br bonds. With copper as catalyst and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as oxidant, a wide range of diaminated, disulfonylated and tribrominated cyclobutene derivatives were efficiently synthesized.

Effects of Rare Earth Metal Promotion over Zeolite-Supported Fe-Cu-Based Catalysts on the Light Olefin Production Performance in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis.

Project description:Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), a significant reaction for effective H2 utilization, is a promising approach for direct production of light olefins from syngas (H2 + CO). For the FT-Olefin process, an efficient catalyst restricting the product distribution of FTS to light olefins is required. Aligned with this goal, we synthesized 24 catalysts comprising Fe and Cu in combination with rare earth metals (La, Ce, Nd, Ho, Er) and zeolite supports (ultrastable Y and mordenite). FT-Olefin performances of these catalysts were screened using a high-throughput test system at atmospheric pressure, and then promising catalysts were tested under high pressure in a conventional test system. Results show that Nd increases selectivity to light olefins and Ho suppresses C5+ and coke formation. It is also demonstrated that zeolite-metal interaction, leading to a mixture of both acidic and basic sites, is significant in increasing light olefin production. The mordenite-supported 20 wt % Fe, 0.5 wt % Cu, and 0.5 wt % Ho catalyst provides the highest light olefin yield with the lowest coke and heavier hydrocarbon selectivity.

Concerted Functions of Surface Acid-Base Pairs and Supported Copper Catalysts for Dehydrogenative Synthesis of Esters from Primary Alcohols.

Project description:Dehydrogenative synthesis of esters from primary alcohols proceeded efficiently over a ZrO2-supported copper catalyst. A variety of esters were obtained from primary alcohols as well as diols in good to high yields. The key to the dehydrogenative synthesis of esters is the concerted effect of the acid-base pairs on ZrO2 and metallic copper.

Copper-Free Synthesis of Cationic Glycidyl Triazolyl Polymers.

Project description:Copper-free synthesis of cationic glycidyl triazolyl polymers (GTPs) is achieved through a thermal azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction between glycidyl azide polymer and propiolic acid, followed by decarboxylation and quaternization of the triazole unit. For synthesizing nonfunctionalized GTP (GTP-H), a microwave-assisted method enhances the decarboxylation reaction of carboxy-functionalized GTP (GTP-COOH). Three variants of cationic GTPs with different N-substituents [N-ethyl, N-butyl, and N-tri(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (EG3)] are synthesized. The molecular weight of GTP-H is determined via size exclusion chromatography. Thermal properties of all GTPs are characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The ionic conductivities of these cationic GTPs are assessed by impedance measurements. The conducting ion concentration and mobility are calculated based on the electrode polarization model. Among three cationic GTPs, the GTP with the N-EG3 substituent exhibits the highest ionic conductivity, reaching 6.8 × 10-6 S cm-1 at 25 °C under dry conditions. When compared to previously reported reference polymers, the reduction of steric crowding around the triazolium unit is considered to be a key factor in enhancing ionic conductivity.

Synthesis and Characterization of Supported Mixed MoW Carbide Catalysts.

Project description:For mixed MoW carbide catalysts, the relationship between synthesis conditions, evolution of (mixed) phases, extent of mixing, and catalytic performance of supported Mo/W carbides remains unclear. In this study, we prepared a series of carbon nanofiber-supported mixed Mo/W-carbide catalysts with varying Mo and W compositions using either temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) or carbothermal reduction (CR). Regardless of the synthesis method, all bimetallic catalysts (Mo:W bulk ratios of 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1) were mixed at the nanoscale, although the Mo/W ratio in individual nanoparticles varied from the expected bulk values. Moreover, the crystal structures of the produced phases and nanoparticle sizes differed depending on the synthesis method. When using the TPR method, a cubic carbide (MeC1-x ) phase with 3-4 nm nanoparticles was obtained, while a hexagonal phase (Me2C) with 4-5 nm nanoparticles was found when using the CR method. The TPR-synthesized carbides exhibited higher activity for the hydrodeoxygenation of fatty acids, tentatively attributed to a combination of crystal structure and particle size.
