- Ruthenium complex immobilized on supported ionic-liquid-phase (SILP) for alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with CO2
-
In this study, the heterogeneously catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with CO2based on a supported ionic-liquid-phase (SILP) strategy is reported for the first time. An [Ru]@SILP catalyst was accessed by immobilization of ruthenium complex on a SILP, wherein imidazolium chloride was chemically integrated at the surface or in the channels of the silica gel support. An active Ru site was generated through reacting Ru3(CO)12with the decorated imidazolium chloride in a proper microenvironment. Different IL films, by varying the functionality of the side chain at the imidazolium cation, were found to strongly affect the porosity, active Ru sites, and CO2adsorption capacity of [Ru]@SILP, thereby considerably influencing its catalytic performance. The optimized [Ru]@SILP-A-2 displayed enhanced catalytic performance and prominent substrate selectivity compared to an independent homogeneous system under identical conditions. These findings provide the basis for a novel design concept for achieving both efficient and stable catalysts in the coupling of CO2with olefins.

- Efficient and selective oxidation of aldehydes with dioxygen catalysed by vanadium-containing heteropolyanions
-
The heteropolyacids “H3+n[PMo12–nVnO40]·aq” (denoted as HPA-n; n = 2, 3, 8) catalyse the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids in the presence of dioxygen with very good yields. The effect on the catalytic activity of various parameters such as the precursors, solvent, temperature or catalyst/substrate ratio was examined. The process is particularly selective for linear and aromatic aldehydes. The oxidation of adipaldehyde with dioxygen in mild conditions, in the presence of HPA-2 as a catalyst, leads to the formation of adipic acid together with a significant amount of other byproducts. Thus, several modifications of the catalytic systems have been carried out to improve their selectivity. The effect of cocatalysts was investigated and, among the species tested, complex Ni(acac)2 was found to be the most efficient yielding 60% of adipic acid.

- Platinum Complex Catalyzed Carbonylation of Organic Iodides: Effective Carbonylation of Organic Iodides Having β-Hydrogens on Saturated sp3 Carbons
-
Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) is an effective catalyst precursor for the carbonylation of organic iodides having β-hydrogens on saturated sp3 carbons.The carbonylation under carbon monoxide pressure in the presence of alcohol gives esters, and aldehydes are obtained by the reaction under carbon monoxide and hydrogen pressure.Thus, 1-iodohexane is carbonylated to methyl heptanoate in 79percent yield in the presence of methanol at 120 deg C under 70 kg cm-2 of initial carbon monoxide pressure.Heptanal is formed in 86percent yield from 1-iodohexane at 120 deg Cunder carbon monoxide (50 kg cm-2) and hydrogen (50 kg cm-2).Alkenyl und alkynyl iodides are also smoothly carbonylated in the presence of alcohol into the corresponding esters without reduction of unsaturated bonds.

- Isolation of the β-galactosphingolipid coniferoside using a tumor cell proteome reverse affinity protocol
-
New approaches are vital to the development of marine natural products (MNP) as therapeutic leads. One of the more time consuming aspects of MNP research arises in the connection between structure and function. Here, we describe an isolation protocol that adapts tumor cell proteomes as a vehicle for MNP isolation therein uniting structural and functional analysis. Application of this method to extracts of the sponge Agelas conifera led to the isolation of a unique poly-hydroxybutyrated β-galactosphingolipid, coniferoside.

- Methoxycarbonylation of olefins catalysed by homogeneous palladium(II) complexes of (phenoxy)imine ligands bearing alkoxy silane groups
-
The Schiff base compounds 2-phenyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)ethanol (HL1) and 4-methyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL2) were synthesized via condensation reactions of a suitable ketone or aldehyde and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxy silane (APTES). Whereas the reactions of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(OAc)2] afforded the bis(chelated) palladium compounds [Pd(L1)2] (1) and [Pd(L2)2] (2), treatments of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] gave the mono(chelated) complexes [Pd(HL1)2Cl2] (3) and [Pd(HL2)2Cl2] (4) respectively. Structural characterization of the compounds was achieved using NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and micro-analyses. Complexes 1–4 gave active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of higher olefins producing linear esters as the major products. The coordination environment around the palladium center of the complexes dictated the relative catalytic activity, where the bis(chelated) analogues 1 and 2 were more active than the mono(chelated) analogues 3 and 4. The nature of the acid promoter, phosphine groups, solvent system, olefin substrate and reactions conditions influenced the catalytic behaviour of the complexes.

- Pd-catalysed formation of ester products from cascade reaction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with 1-hexene
-
A cascade reaction involving decarbonylation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) followed by methoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene produces methyl heptanoate (MH) using a catalytic system composed of a Pd-phosphine complex and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) co-catalyst at moderate reaction temperature. Concomitant hydration of HMF followed by hydrogenation of methyl levulinate (ML) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) occurs with the catalytic system under the same reaction conditions using HMF and methanol as the source of CO and H2, respectively. Under optimized reaction conditions, about 50% of MH along with 12% ML and 35% GVL is obtained from HMF using Pd-(1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene) (DTBPMB), MSA and 1-hexene in methanol at 120 °C. Interestingly, sugars, such as glucose, fructose and xylose, are able to be converted to MH, ML and GVL as well. Isotopic labeling studies with 13C1-fructose in methanol-d4 and 13C-methanol-d4 confirm that H2 originates from methanol, while CO generates predominantly from the formyl group of the HMF formed by fructose dehydration.

- Toward the development of efficient and stable Pd-catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation of medium chain alkenes
-
Methoxycarbonylation provides a one-step synthesis to valuable ester products utilised in both the fine and heavy chemical industry. However, in general, reaction rates for longer chain alkenes are poor which renders industrial implementation economical unviable. In cases where suitable rates are achieved, the requisite reagents are costly and in addition, the catalyst complexes readily decompose at elevated temperatures. This paper describes the use of an alternative ligand structural motif for the efficient methoxycarbonylation of terminal and internal medium chain alkenes to their corresponding esters. Promising results were obtained using a catalyst complex generated in situ from an unsymmetrical diphosphine ligand based on a ferrocene backbone, Pd(OAc)2 and methane sulfonic acid.

- Electron-Transfer-Photosensitized Conjugate Alkylation
-
Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from an aliphatic donor to a sensitizer and fragmentation of the radical cation leads to alkyl radicals. Radical alkylation of electron-withdrawing substituted alkenes and alkynes has been obtained in this way, and its scope has been explored. Effective sensitizers are tetramethyl pyromellitate (TMPM), 1,4-dicyanonaphthalene (in combination with biphenyl, DCN/BP), and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene. Radical precursors are tetraalkylstannanes, 2,2-dialkyldioxolanes, and, less efficiently, carboxylic acids. Steady-state and flash photolysis experiments show that escape out of cage of radical ions is the main factor determining the yield of radical formation. This is efficient with triplet sensitizers such as TMPM, while with singlet sensitizers, the use of a "cosensitizer" is required, as in the DCN/BP system. Radical cations containing primary alkyl radicals escape and fragment more efficiently than those containing tertiary radicals. The thus-formed radicals are trapped by electron-withdrawing substituted alkenes, and the relative efficiency is determined by the rate of radical addition, in accord with the proposed mechanism. Among the alkynes tested, only dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate reacts, and the order of radical reactivity is different. It is suggested that a different mechanism operates in this case and involves assistance by the alkyne to the radical cation fragmentation.

- Flexible polyurethanes, renewable fuels, and flavorings from a microalgae oil waste stream
-
Renewable polymers have become an important focus in next-generation materials, and algae biomass offers an environmentally low-impact feedstock that can serve multiple uses. This study aims to develop a scalable methodology for production of microalgae-based polyols for polyurethane synthesis from waste oils derived from algae biomass. Following separation of omega-3 fatty acids from algae oil, residual oils can offer valuable building blocks for petrochemical replacements. However, unlike vegetable oils, algae oils contain organic contaminants, including photosynthetic pigments and hydrophobic cofactors that can complicate preparative methodologies. Here we convert and purify waste streams from omega-3 depleted Nannochloropsis salina algae oil, with major components consisting of palmitic and palmitoleic acid, into azelaic acid (AA) as a building block for flexible polyurethanes, with a simultaneous production of heptanoic acid (HA) as a flavor and fragrance precursor. Conversion of free fatty acid mixtures into a soft soap allows extraction of organic contaminants, and urea complexation provides isolated palmitoleic acid, which is subsequently ozonolyzed to produce AA and HA. Bio-based polyester diols are prepared from AA via esterification to provide a polyol monomer for flexible polyurethane foam preparation. The HA co-product is modified to produce the flavoring agent methyl heptanoate and also decarboxylated to produce hexane as a renewable solvent. This scalable process can be performed on oils from multiple algal species, offering valuable monomers from a highly sustainable source.

Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

Homogeneous liquid-phase oxidation of a number of aromatic and aliphatic olefins was examined using dinuclear anionic vanadium dioxido complexes [(VO2)2(salLH)]? (1) and [(VO2)2(NsalLH)]? (2) and dinuclear copper complexes [(CuCl)2(salLH)]? (3) and [(CuCl)2(NsalLH)]? (4) (reaction of carbohydrazide with salicylaldehyde and 4-diethylamino salicylaldehyde afforded Schiff-base ligands [salLH4] and [NsalLH4], respectively). Anionic vanadium and copper complexes 1, 2, 3, and 4 were isolated in the form of their hydronium ion salt, which is rare. The molecular structure of the hydronium ion salt of anionic dinuclear vanadium dioxido complex [(VO2)2(salLH)]? (1) was established through single-crystal X-ray analysis. The chemical and structural properties were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, both dinuclear vanadium dioxido complexes were applied for the oxidation of a series of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes. High catalytic activity and efficiency were achieved using catalysts 1 and 2 in the oxidation of olefins. Alkenes with electron-donating groups make the oxidation processes easy. Thus, in general, aromatic olefins show better substrate conversion in comparison to the aliphatic olefins. Under optimized reaction conditions, both copper catalysts 3 and 4 fail to compete with the activity shown by their vanadium counterparts. Irrespective of olefins, metal (vanadium or copper) complexes of the ligand [salLH4] (I) show better substrate conversion(%) compared with the metal complexes of the ligand [NsalLH4] (II).

All the complexes formed active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene, affording yields of up to 92% within 20 h and regioselectivity of 73% in favour of linear esters. The catalytic activity and selectivity of the complexes depended on the steric encumbrance around the coordination centre. The water soluble complexes displayed comparable catalytic behaviour to the non-water soluble systems. The complexes could be recycled five times with minimal changes in both the catalytic activities and regio-selectivity.

The invention discloses a method for preparing organic carboxylic ester by combined catalysis of an aryl bidentate phosphine ligand. The method comprises the following steps: under the action of a palladium compound/aryl bidentate phosphine ligand/acidic additive combined catalyst, carrying out a hydrogen esterification reaction on terminal olefin, carbon monoxide and alcohol so as to generate theorganic carboxylic ester with one more carbon than olefin. According to the invention, by adoption of the palladium compound/aryl bidentate phosphine ligand/acidic additive combined catalyst, good catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydrogen esterification reaction of the olefin are achieved, and olefin carbonylation to synthesize organic carboxylic ester can be efficiently catalyzed. Thearyl bidentate phosphine ligand has a rigid skeleton structure of a rigid ligand and the flexibility of a flexible ligand, so the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand has proper flexibility due to the characteristic that the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand is soft and rigid, and a most favorable coordination mode and a stable active structure in space are favorably formed. In addition, the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand has the advantages of high stability, simple and convenient synthesis method and the like; and a novel industrial technology is provided for production of organic carboxylate compounds.

All the other spectroscopic characterization data and elemental analyses were consistent with the observed structures. All the palladium (II) complexes 1–4 gave active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of 1-octenes. The catalysts demonstrated 100% chemoselectivities towards esters and favored the formation of linear isomers. Reaction conditions such as the type of phosphine derivative, acid promoter, solvent system, time, pressure and temperature have been investigated and shown to affect both the catalytic activity and regio-selectivity of the catalysts. Solid-angle modelling established the comparable steric contributions from the ligands, consistent with the similar regioselectivities of the resultant catalysts.

The heterobimetallic ruthenium-cobalt catalytic system exhibited good catalytic performance and reusability in the reductive alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with carbon dioxide. Compared to the previous system only consisting of ruthenium catalyst, the binary catalyst system effectively reduced the usage of noble metal and ionic liquid additives. The respective contribution of ruthenium and cobalt catalysts in this multiple-step catalytic process was investigated by a series of condition-controlled experiments. The evolution of the ruthenium catalyst and the occurrence of alkene hydrogenation during the reaction was explained by theortical calculations.

- A biocatalytic method for the chemoselective aerobic oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids
-
Herein, we present a study on the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using three recombinant aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The ALDHs were used in purified form with a nicotinamide oxidase (NOx), which recycles the catalytic NAD+ at the expense of dioxygen (air at atmospheric pressure). The reaction was studied also with lyophilised whole cell as well as resting cell biocatalysts for more convenient practical application. The optimised biocatalytic oxidation runs in phosphate buffer at pH 8.5 and at 40 °C. From a set of sixty-one aliphatic, aryl-Aliphatic, benzylic, hetero-Aromatic and bicyclic aldehydes, fifty were converted with elevated yield (up to >99%). The exceptions were a few ortho-substituted benzaldehydes, bicyclic heteroaromatic aldehydes and 2-phenylpropanal. In all cases, the expected carboxylic acid was shown to be the only product (>99% chemoselectivity). Other oxidisable functionalities within the same molecule (e.g. hydroxyl, alkene, and heteroaromatic nitrogen or sulphur atoms) remained untouched. The reaction was scaled for the oxidation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (2 g), a bio-based starting material, to afford 5-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid in 61% isolated yield. The new biocatalytic method avoids the use of toxic or unsafe oxidants, strong acids or bases, or undesired solvents. It shows applicability across a wide range of substrates, and retains perfect chemoselectivity. Alternative oxidisable groups were not converted, and other classical side-reactions (e.g. halogenation of unsaturated functionalities, Dakin-Type oxidation) did not occur. In comparison to other established enzymatic methods such as the use of oxidases (where the concomitant oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is common), ALDHs offer greatly improved selectivity.

- Iron Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Alkenes under Mild Conditions: Evidence of an Fe(II) Catalyzed Process
-
Earth abundant, first row transition metals offer a cheap and sustainable alternative to the rare and precious metals. However, utilization of first row metals in catalysis requires harsh reaction conditions, suffers from limited activity, and fails to tolerate functional groups. Reported here is a highly efficient iron catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes under mild conditions. This protocol operates at 10-30 bar syngas pressure below 100 °C, utilizes readily available ligands, and applies to an array of olefins. Thus, the iron precursor [HFe(CO)4]-[Ph3PNPPh3]+ (1) in the presence of triphenyl phosphine catalyzes the hydroformylation of 1-hexene (S2), 1-octene (S1), 1-decene (S3), 1-dodecene (S4), 1-octadecene (S5), trimethoxy(vinyl)silane (S6), trimethyl(vinyl)silane (S7), cardanol (S8), 2,3-dihydrofuran (S9), allyl malonic acid (S10), styrene (S11), 4-methylstyrene (S12), 4-iBu-styrene (S13), 4-tBu-styrene (S14), 4-methoxy styrene (S15), 4-acetoxy styrene (S16), 4-bromo styrene (S17), 4-chloro styrene (S18), 4-vinylbenzonitrile (S19), 4-vinylbenzoic acid (S20), and allyl benzene (S21) to corresponding aldehydes in good to excellent yields. Both electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents could be tolerated and excellent conversions were obtained for S11-S20. Remarkably, the addition of 1 mol % acetic acid promotes the reaction to completion within 16-24 h. Detailed mechanistic investigations revealed in situ formation of an iron-dihydride complex [H2Fe(CO)2(PPh3)2] (A) as an active catalytic species. This finding was further supported by cyclic voltammetry investigations and intermediacy of an Fe(0)-Fe(II) species was established. Combined experimental and computational investigations support the existence of an iron-dihydride as the catalyst resting state, which then follows a Fe(II) based catalytic cycle to produce aldehyde.

- One-pot oxidative bromination – Esterification of aldehydes to 2-bromoesters using cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate and lithium bromide
-
A two-step, one-pot reaction of aldehydes with the CAN/LiBr oxidation system under solvent-free conditions followed by the addition of methanol affords methyl α-bromocarboxylates. The oxidation of aldehydes with methanol using this system gives only methyl esters. A facile method, which does not require special equipment, was developed for the synthesis of 2-bromoesters from aliphatic aldehydes with carbon chain lengths of 5–10 atoms.

- Amberlyst-15 catalysed oxidative esterification of aldehydes using a H2O2 trapped oxidant as a terminal oxidant
-
A simple and efficient method has been developed for the selective oxidative esterification of aldehydes using commercially available Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst. H2O2 released from a clathrate structured 4Na2SO4·2H2O2·NaCl oxidant serves as an efficient source of terminal oxidants. Various aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes undergo selective esterification to give good to excellent yield. The heterogeneous catalyst, Amberlyst-15, exhibits high reactivity and can be recycled over several runs. The 4Na2SO4·2H2O2·NaCl oxidant was found to be superior to commonly used oxidizing agents providing an anhydrous, easy to handle and stable form of H2O2

- Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of sec- and tert-Alcohols
-
A general palladium-catalyzed synthesis of linear esters directly from sec- and tert-alcohols is described. Compared to the classic Koch–Haaf reaction, which leads to branched products, this new transformation gives the corresponding linear esters in high yields and selectivity. Key for this protocol is the use of an advanced palladium catalyst system with L2 (pytbpx) as the ligand. A variety of aliphatic and benzylic alcohols can be directly used and the catalyst efficiency for the benchmark reaction is outstanding (turnover number up to 89 000).

- Palladium(II) complexes bearing mixed N^N^X (X?=?O and S) tridentate ligands as pre-catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation of selected 1-alkenes
-
The methoxycarbonylation of selected 1-alkenes catalyzed by various neutral and cationic palladium(II) complexes, containing mixed N^N^X (X = O and S) tridentate ligands 2-[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-6-(phenoxymethyl)pyridine (L1), 2-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-6-(phenoxymethyl)pyridine (L2), 2-[(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-6-(phenylthiomethyl)pyridine (L3), 2-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-6-(phenylthiomethyl)pyridine (L4), has been investigated. Neutral complexes, [(?2-L1)Pd(CH3)(Cl)] (1a), [(?2-L2)Pd(CH3)(Cl)] (2a), [(?2-L3)Pd(CH3)(Cl)] (3a), [(?2-L4)Pd(CH3)(Cl)] (4a), and the salts, [(?3-L3)Pd(CH3)][BAr4F] (3c) and [(?3-L4)Pd(CH3)][BAr4F] (4c), underwent complete decomposition during the reaction to palladium black and showed no catalytic activity. However, the addition of PPh3 to the reaction dramatically increased the catalytic activity. On the other hand, the salts, [(?2-L1)Pd(CH3)(PPh3)][BAr4F] (1b), [(?2-L2)Pd(CH3)(PPh3)][BAr4F] (2b), [(?2-L3)Pd(CH3)(PPh3)][BAr4F] (3b) and [(?2-L4)Pd(CH3)(PPh3)][BAr4F] (4b), showed good conversion of the selected olefins to branched and linear esters without PPh3. Addition of PPh3 to reactions with 1b-4b significantly improved catalytic activity. All decomposition of complexes led to the formation of the known palladium complexes, [Pd(PPh3)2(Cl)(CH3)] and [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2]. The decomposition of all palladium complexes could be followed by NMR studies and [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2] could be isolated from the crude methoxycarbonylation reaction.

-
A facile stepwise synthesis of 2, 5-disubstituted 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles proceeding via oxidative cyclization of N-acylhydrazones is reported. The reaction is efficiently promoted by 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1, 4- benzoquinone (DDQ) to afford the desired products mostly in high yields and in relatively short times. The final 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives are also synthesized directly from acid hydrazides and aldehydes in a one-pot procedure. The substrate scope and limitations of the reported transformation are discussed in detail.

- Branched Selectivity in the Pd-Catalysed Methoxycarbonylation of 1-Alkenes
-
The methoxycarbonylation of alkenes by palladium(II) complexes with P,O-donor ligands [(2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine (L-2), bis(2-methoxyphenyl) phenyl phosphine (L-3) and tris(2-methoxyphenyl) phosphine (L-4)] has been investigated. The results show that the Pd complexes derived from these ligands provide high regioselectivity for the branched esters from 1-pentene and 1-hexene (>80 %). Various parameters (including temperature, pressure, acid concentration) were optimized to improve the performance of the catalyst system. Higher temperatures afforded higher regioselectivity; but effected rapid catalyst decomposition. Acceptable turnover frequencies, conversions as well as catalyst stability could be obtained at higher L/Pd ratios. The dramatic change in regioselectivity is rationalised on the basis of the hemi-lability of the o-methoxy moiety, which may lead to ligand dissociation from L2PdX2 (L=ligand, X=Cl) rather than the expected dissociation of X. In support of our hypothesis, direct evidence for the coordination of the o-methoxy to the Pd centre was demonstrated by the crystal structure. To the best of our knowledge, this work provides the first reported route to valuable branched esters through the methoxycarbonylation of alkenes at suitable rates.

Reactions of N-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-2-methoxy aniline (L1) and N-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-2-bromo aniline (L2) with either [PdCl2(COD)] or [PdClMe(COD)] afforded the neutral palladium complexes [PdCl2(L1)] (1), [PdClMe(L1)] (2) and [PdClMe(L2] (3), respectively. Treatment of 2 and 3 with one equivalent of PPh3 in the presence of NaBAr4 (Ar = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) produced the corresponding cationic species, [PdMe(L1)]BAr4 (4) and [PdMe(L2)]BAr4 (5). All the palladium complexes formed active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of alkenes to produce linear and branched esters. The catalytic behaviour was dependent on the catalyst structure, presence of PPh3, acid promoter and alkene chain length.

- Facile and efficient gold-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of activated alcohols
-
A facile and efficient methodology is presented for the direct oxidative esterification of alcohols with alcohols catalyzed by NaAuCl4. Just in the presence of a low catalytic amount of base additive, the newly developed catalytic system proceeds with high selectivity and broad substrate scope under mild conditions with dioxygen or air as the environmentally benign terminal oxidant. Various alcohols including benzylic and allylic alcohols were smoothly reacted with methanol and even with long-chain aliphatic alcohols, affording the desired products in good to excellent yields (up to 95% yield). The present system showed high catalytic activity with a TOF up to 219 h-1. Kinetic studies of the reaction process provide fundamental insights into the catalytic pathway, and a possible reaction pathway was proposed based on the results of the control experiments. XPS, TEM, and UV-vis were carried out to characterize the chemical state of the Au catalyst in the present catalytic system. The results indicate that the Au nanoparticles were generated in situ and supported on K2CO3, forming a simple, recyclable and selective catalyst system for the direct oxidative esterification of alcohols. the Partner Organisations 2014.

Palladium(II) complexes containing phosphine donor ligands derived from naphthyl(diphenyl)phosphine were synthesized and characterized by NMR and elemental analysis. The complexes were studied as catalyst precursors in the methoxycarbonylation reaction of several aromatic and aliphatic olefins under mild conditions. The catalysts reported high chemoselectivities (over 96%) and regioselectivities between 44% and 93% for different olefins. The best results were obtained over a styrene substrate with 97% of conversion after 6 h of reaction, with high regioselectivity (93%). Kinetic studies permitted the determination of the rate law (v-‰=-‰k [substrate] 1.21±0.02 [catalyst]0.94±0.11 [acid] 0.52±0.03 [MeOH]0.53±0.05 [CO] 0.65±0.03) for methoxycarbonylation of styrene.

- Kinetics and mechanisms of homogeneous catalytic reactions. Part 12. Hydroalcoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene using palladium/triphenylphosphine systems as catalyst precursors
-
Systems prepared in situ by addition of n equivalents of triphenylphosphine to palladium dichloride in the presence of m equivalents of para-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA), PdCl2/nPPh3/mTSA (n and m varying between 2 and 10), were used as precatalysts for the olefin carbonylation (1-hexene, cyclohexene and styrene) with alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, n-PrOH and i-PrOH) to generate the corresponding esters (hydroalcoxycarbonylation), under mild reaction conditions. For 1-hexene carbonylation in presence of methanol (1-hexene hydromethoxycarbonylation), the most active system was PdCl2/6PPh3/5TSA at P(CO) = 50 atm and T = 125°C, which was also active for the hydromethoxycarbonylation of other olefins (1-hexene > styrene > cyclohexene). This system was regioselective towards the linear product for 1-hexene and towards the branched product for styrene. A kinetic study of 1-hexene hydromethoxycarbonylation catalyzed by PdCl2/6PPh3/5TSA showed that the initial reaction rate (ro) was first order on Pd and MeOH concentrations and fractional order with respect to CO concentration; for olefin concentration was found a saturation curve. These kinetic results, together with coordination chemistry and computational DFT studies, allow us to propose a catalytic cycle involving species of the type [Pd(H)(L)(PPh3)2]+n (L = Cl, n = 0; L = CO, MeOH, olefin and PPh3, n = 1) as the catalytically active species and three sequential reactions: (1) olefin insertion into the Pd-H bond to yield Pd-alkyl species, (2) CO insertion into the Pd-C bond to generate Pd-acyl intermediates, and (3) the methanolysis of Pd-acyl species to produce the corresponding methyl esters, regenerate the active species and restart the cycle; the last reaction is considered the rate-determining step (rds) of the mechanism.

- Methoxycarbonylation of olefins catalyzed by palladium complexes bearing P,N-donor ligands
-
The methoxycarbonylation of alkenes catalyzed by palladium(ii) complexes with P,N-donor ligands, 2-(diphenylphosphinoamino)pyridine (Ph 2PNHpy), 2-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]pyridine (Ph 2PCH2py), and 2-(diphenylphosphino)quinoline (Ph 2Pqn) has been investigated. The results show that the complex [PdCl(PPh3)(Ph2PNHpy)]Cl or an equimolar mixture of [PdCl2(Ph2PNHpy)] and PPh3, in the presence of p-toluensulfonic acid (TsOH), is an efficient catalyst for this reaction. This catalytic system promotes the conversion of styrene into methyl 2-phenylpropanoate and methyl 3-phenylpropanoate with nearly complete chemoselectivity, 98% regioselectivity in the branched isomer, and high turnover frequency, even at alkene/Pd molar ratios of 1000. Best results were obtained in toluene-MeOH (3: 1) solvent. The Pd/Ph2PNHpy catalyst is also efficient in the methoxycarbonylation of cyclohexene and 1-hexene, although with lower rates than with styrene. Related palladium complexes [PdCl(PPh 3)L]Cl (L = Ph2PCH2py and Ph2Pqn) show lower activity in the methoxycarbonylation of styrene than that of the 2-(diphenylphosphinoamino)pyridine ligand. Replacement of the last ligand by (diphenylphosphino)phenylamine (Ph2PNHPh) or 2- (diphenylphosphinoaminomethyl)pyridine (Ph2PNMepy) also reduces significantly the activity of the catalyst, indicating that both the presence of the pyridine fragment as well as the NH group, are required to achieve a high performing catalyst. Isotopic labeling experiments using MeOD are consistent with a hydride mechanism for the [PdCl(PPh3)(Ph2PNHpy)]Cl catalyst. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
