Isomerization of Functionalized Olefins by Using the Dinuclear Catalyst [Pd^I (μ-Br)(P^t Bu₃ )]₂ : A Mechanistic Study.

ABSTRACT: In a combined experimental and computational study, the isomerization activity of the dinuclear palladium(I) complex [Pd^I (μ-Br)(P^t Bu₃ )]₂ towards allyl arenes, esters, amides, ethers, and alcohols has been investigated. The calculated energy profiles for catalyst activation for two alternative dinuclear and mononuclear catalytic cycles, and for catalyst deactivation are in good agreement with the experimental results. Comparison of experimentally observed E/Z ratios at incomplete conversion with calculated kinetic selectivities revealed that a substantial amount of product must form via the dinuclear pathway, in which the isomerization is promoted cooperatively by two palladium centers. The dissociation barrier towards mononuclear Pd species is relatively high, and once the catalyst enters the energetically more favorable mononuclear pathway, only a low barrier has to be overcome towards irreversible deactivation.

Reactivity of a Dinuclear PdI Complex [Pd2(μ-PPh2)(μ2-OAc)(PPh3)2] with PPh3: Implications for Cross-Coupling Catalysis Using the Ubiquitous Pd(OAc)2/nPPh3 Catalyst System.

Project description:[PdI 2(μ-PPh2)(μ2-OAc)(PPh3)2] is the reduction product of PdII(OAc)2(PPh3)2, generated by reaction of 'Pd(OAc)2' with two equivalents of PPh3. Here, we report that the reaction of [PdI 2(μ-PPh2)(μ2-OAc)(PPh3)2] with PPh3 results in a nuanced disproportionation reaction, forming [Pd0(PPh3)3] and a phosphinito-bridged PdI-dinuclear complex, namely [PdI 2(μ-PPh2){κ2-P,O-μ-P(O)Ph2}(κ-PPh3)2]. The latter complex is proposed to form by abstraction of an oxygen atom from an acetate ligand at Pd. A mechanism for the formal reduction of a putative PdII disproportionation species to the observed PdI complex is postulated. Upon reaction of the mixture of [Pd0(PPh)3] and [PdI 2(μ-PPh2){κ2-P,O-μ-P(O)Ph2}(κ-PPh3)2] with 2-bromopyridine, the former Pd0 complex undergoes a fast oxidative addition reaction, while the latter dinuclear PdI complex converts slowly to a tripalladium cluster, of the type [Pd3(μ-X)(μ-PPh2)2(PPh3)3]X, with an overall 4/3 oxidation state per Pd. Our findings reveal complexity associated with the precatalyst activation step for the ubiquitous 'Pd(OAc)2'/nPPh3 catalyst system, with implications for cross-coupling catalysis.

Conductivity and Redox Potentials of Ionic Liquid Trihalogen Monoanions [X3 ]- , [XY2 ]- , and [BrF4 ]- (X=Cl, Br, I and Y=Cl, Br).

Project description:The ionic liquid (IL) trihalogen monoanions [N2221 ][X3 ]- and [N2221 ][XY2 ]- ([N2221 ]+ =triethylmethylammonium, X=Cl, Br, I, Y=Cl, Br) were investigated electrochemically via temperature dependent conductance and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The polyhalogen monoanions were measured both as neat salts and as double salts in 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium trifluoromethane-sulfonate ([BMP][OTf], [X3 ]- /[XY2 ]- 0.5 M). Lighter IL trihalogen monoanions displayed higher conductivities than their heavier homologues, with [Cl3 ]- being 1.1 and 3.7 times greater than [Br3 ]- and [I3 ]- , respectively. The addition of [BMP][OTf] reduced the conductivity significantly. Within the group of polyhalogen monoanions, the oxidation potential develops in the series [Cl3 ]- >[BrCl2 ]- >[Br3 ]- >[IBr2 ]- >[ICl2 ]- >[I3 ]- . The redox potential of the interhalogen monoanions was found to be primarily determined by the central halogen, I in [ICl2 ]- and [IBr2 ]- , and Br in [BrCl2 ]- . Additionally, tetrafluorobromate(III) ([N2221 ]+ [BrF4 ]- ) was analyzed via CV in MeCN at 0 °C, yielding a single reversible redox process ([BrF2 ]- /[BrF4 ]- ).

Insights into the structures and electronic properties of Cun+1μ and CunS μ (n = 1-12; μ = 0, ±1) clusters.

Project description:AbstarctThe stability and reactivity of clusters are closely related to their valence electronic configuration. Doping is a most efficient method to modify the electronic configuration and properties of a cluster. Considering that Cu and S posses one and six valence electrons, respectively, the S doped Cu clusters with even number of valence electrons are expected to be more stable than those with odd number of electrons. By using the swarm intelligence based CALYPSO method on crystal structural prediction, we have explored the structures of neutral and charged Cun+1 and CunS (n = 1-12) clusters. The electronic properties of the lowest energy structures have been investigated systemically by first-principles calculations with density functional theory. The results showed that the clusters with a valence count of 2, 8 and 12 appear to be magic numbers with enhanced stability. In addition, several geometry-related-properties have been discussed and compared with those results available in the literature.

Br-/BrO--mediated highly efficient photoelectrochemical epoxidation of alkenes on α-Fe2O3.

Project description:Epoxides are significant intermediates for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and epoxy resins. In this study, we develop a Br-/BrO- mediated photoelectrochemical epoxidation system on α-Fe2O3. High selectivity (up to >99%) and faradaic efficiency (up to 82 ± 4%) for the epoxidation of a wide range of alkenes are achieved, with water as oxygen source, which are far beyond the most reported electrochemical and photoelectrochemical epoxidation performances. Further, we can verify that the epoxidation reaction is mediated by Br-/BrO- route, in which Br- is oxidized non-radically to BrO- by an oxygen atom transfer pathway on α-Fe2O3, and the formed BrO- in turn transfers its oxygen atom to the alkenes. The non-radical mediated characteristic and the favorable thermodynamics of the oxygen atom transfer process make the epoxidation reactions very efficient. We believe that this photoelectrochemical Br-/BrO--mediated epoxidation provides a promising strategy for value-added production of epoxides and hydrogen.

Hydroxyamination of olefins using Br-N-(CO2Me)2.

Project description:The hydroxyamination reagent Br-N-(CO2Me)2 underwent Markovnikov addition to various olefins in the presence of catalytic BF3·OEt2 and provides efficient access to aminoalcohols. The reaction provided the trans-1-bromo, 2-N-bis-carbamate adduct stereoisomer in all cases. The resulting adduct underwent cyclization to give an oxazolidinone, which could be readily hydrolyzed to an oxazolidin-2-one or an amino alcohol.

Isolation and Properties of the Long Elusive Deep Blue Soluble [K3 {(Nt Bu)3 S}2 ]. Cage Radical.

Project description:The reaction of potassium metal with sulfurtriimide S(Nt Bu)3 (II) gives the long elusive deep blue cage radical [K3 {(Nt Bu)3 S}2 ]. (1_K) that crystallizes at -35 °C from toluene solution. The subsequent physical characterization via X-ray structure analysis, UV/Vis-, and EPR spectroscopy from solution reveals the existence of one unpaired electron delocalized within the whole cage, i.e. coupling with the six nitrogen atoms, as well as the three potassium atoms caped by the two SN3 ligands. The present X-ray structure analysis further supports previous assumptions made on the parent compound 1_Li obtained from [Li4 {(Nt Bu)3 S}2 ] (I) and finally elucidates the structural arrangement of the SN3 caps and alkali metals in such radical cage species.

Organic Solvent-Free Olefins and Alcohols (ep)oxidation Using Recoverable Catalysts Based on [PM12O40]3- (M = Mo or W) Ionically Grafted on Amino Functionalized Silica Nanobeads.

Project description:Catalyzed organic solvent-free (ep)oxidation were achieved using H3PM12O40 (M = Mo or W) complexes ionically grafted on APTES-functionalized nano-silica beads obtained from straightforward method (APTES = aminopropyltriethoxysilane). Those catalysts have been extensively analyzed through morphological studies (Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), TEM) and several spectroscopic qualitative (IR, multinuclear solid-state NMR) and quantitative (1H and 31P solution NMR) methods. Interesting catalytic results were obtained for the epoxidation of cyclooctene, cyclohexene, limonene and oxidation of cyclohexanol with a lower [POM]/olefin ratio. The catalysts were found to be recyclable and reused during three runs with similar catalytic performances.

ENDOR Characterization of (N2)FeII(μ-H)2FeI(N2)-: A Spectroscopic Model for N2 Binding by the Di-μ-hydrido Nitrogenase Janus Intermediate.

Project description:The biomimetic diiron complex 4-(N2)2, featuring two terminally bound Fe-N2 centers bridged by two hydrides, serves as a model for two possible states along the pathway by which the enzyme nitrogenase reduces N2. One is the Janus intermediate E4(4H), which has accumulated 4[e-/H+], stored as two [Fe-H-Fe] bridging hydrides, and is activated to bind and reduce N2 through reductive elimination (RE) of the hydride ligands as H2. The second is a possible RE intermediate. 1H and 14N 35 GHz ENDOR measurements confirm that the formally Fe(II)/Fe(I) 4-(N2)2 complex exhibits a fully delocalized, Robin-Day type-III mixed valency. The two bridging hydrides exhibit a fully rhombic dipolar tensor form, T ≈ [- t, + t, 0]. The rhombic form is reproduced by a simple point-dipole model for dipolar interactions between a bridging hydride and its "anchor" Fe ions, confirming validity of this model and demonstrating that observation of a rhombic form is a convenient diagnostic signature for the identification of such core structures in biological centers such as nitrogenase. Furthermore, interpretation of the 1H measurements with the anchor model maps the g tensor onto the molecular frame, an important function of these equations for application to nitrogenase. Analysis of the hyperfine and quadrupole coupling to the bound 14N of N2 provides a reference for nitrogen-bound nitrogenase intermediates and is of chemical significance, as it gives a quantitative estimate of the amount of charge transferred between Fe and coordinated N, a key element in N2 activation for reduction.

Synthesis and Characterization of the Highly Unstable Metalloid Cluster Ag64 (Pn Bu3 )16 Cl6.

Project description:The reduction of (n Bu3 P)AgCl with LiBH(s Bu)3 in toluene gives the metalloid silver cluster Ag64 (Pn Bu3 )16 Cl6 (1) as dark red, temperature- and light-sensitive single crystals in high yield. 1 is the largest structurally characterized metalloid silver cluster exhibiting chlorine and phosphine substituents only. The silver atoms in 1 show an overall brick-shape arrangement, where structural resemblance to the close-packed fcc and hcp structures is realized. Within 1 a 58 electron closed shell system is present. The light sensitivity renders 1 as a model compound for the primary seeds of the photo process, whereby this sensitivity, together with the high-yield synthesis show that 1 is a perfect starting compound for further investigations like silver-plating processes.

Heavy-ion production of 77Br and 76Br.

Project description:Many radioisotopes with potential medical applications are difficult to produce routinely, especially those on the proton-rich side of the valley of stability. Current production methods typically use light-ion (protons or deuteron) reactions on materials of similar mass to the target radioisotope, which limits the elemental target material available and may require the use of targets with poor thermal properties (as is the case for the production of radiobromine). These reactions may also create significant amounts of proton-rich decay products which require chemical separation from the desired product in a highly radioactive environment. A promising alternative method using heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions for the production of the medically relevant bromine radioisotopes 76Br (t1/2 = 16.2 h) and 77Br (t1/2 = 57.0 h) is presented. Heavy-ion beams of 28Si and 16O were used to bombard natural chromium and copper targets just above the Coulomb barrier at the University of Notre Dame's Nuclear Science Laboratory to produce these bromine and precursor radioisotopes by fusion-evaporation reactions. Production yields for these reactions were measured and compared to PACE4 calculations. In addition to using more robust targets for irradiation, a simple physical-chemical separation method is proposed that will lead to very high radiopurity yields. A summary of accelerator facility requirements needed for routine production of these radioisotopes is also presented.
