- Porous organic polymer supported rhodium as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydroformylation of alkynes to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes
-
A new porous organic polymer supported rhodium catalyst (Rh/POL-BINAPa&PPh3) has been developed for the hydroformylation of various alkynes to afford the corresponding α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with high chem- and stereoselectivity, excellent catalytic activity and good reusability (10 cycles). The heterogeneous catalyst exhibited more catalytic activity than the comparable homogeneous Rh/BINAPa/PPh3 system.

- Metal-Free Catalytic Reductive Cleavage of Enol Ethers
-
In contrast to the well-known reductive cleavage of the alkyl-O bond, the cleavage of the alkenyl-O bond is much more challenging especially using metal-free approaches. Unexpectedly, alkenyl-O bonds were reductively cleaved when enol ethers were reacted with Et3SiH and a catalytic amount of B(C6F5)3. Supposedly, this reaction is the result of a B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem hydrosilylation reaction and a silicon-assisted β-elimination. A mechanism for this cleavage reaction is proposed based on experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

- Effect of the presence of ionic liquid during the NiMoS bulk preparation in the transformation of decanoic acid
-
The impact of the presence and amount of [BMIM][NTf2] ionic liquid during the preparation of bulk NiMoS catalysts was investigated. It was clearly shown that these factors have a strong influence on both the morphology and specific surface area of the obtained NiMoS samples. Most interestingly the catalytic activity for the transformation of decanoic acid increased up to three times when IL was present during synthesis. In the same time, a greater selectivity towards hydrocarbons was observed. On the whole a clear relationship between catalytic activity, selectivity and NiMoS morphology was demonstrated. Consequently, it is possible to modify the morphology of the materials and impact the catalytic properties by changing the synthesis conditions.

- Improved metathesis lifetime: Chelating pyridinyl-alcoholato ligands in the second generation grubbs precatalyst
-
Hemilabile ligands can release a free coordination site "on demand" of an incoming nucleophilic substrate while occupying it otherwise. This is believed to increase the thermal stability and activity of catalytic systems and therefore prevent decomposition via free coordination sites. In this investigation chelating pyridinyl-alcoholato ligands were identified as possible hemilabile ligands for incorporation into the second generation Grubbs precatalyst. The O,N-alcoholato ligands with different steric bulk could be successfully incorporated into the precatalysts. The incorporation of the sterically hindered, hemilabile O,N-ligands improved the thermal stability, activity, selectivity and lifetime of these complexes towards the metathesis of 1-octene. A decrease in the activity of the second generation Grubbs precatalyst was additionally observed after incorporating a hemilabile O,N-ligand with two phenyl groups into the system, while increasing their lifetime.

- Methylformate as replacement of syngas in one-pot catalytic synthesis of amines from olefins
-
A new general approach for the one-pot hydroaminomethylation of olefins using methylformate as formylating agent instead of synthesis gas (syngas) has been proposed. Herein we report that a Ru-Rh catalytic system demonstrates high activity in a tandem conversion of a series of n-alkenes into amines using methylformate with yields 58-92% (6 h). The selectivity for the normal amine reached 96% with catalysis by the Ru carbonyl complex Ru3(CO) 12, with an overall yield of 55% with respect to amine in this instance. The addition of the Rh complex to Ru catalytic system, sharply increased the hydroaminomethylation rate of both the terminal and internal alkenes and increased the yield of amines to 82-93% (6-12 h).

- Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Progressive Removal of Oxygen to Facilitate Separation Processes and Achieve High Selectivities
-
Described is a method to make liquid chemicals, such as functional intermediates, solvents, and liquid fuels from biomass-derived cellulose. The method is cascading; the product stream from an upstream reaction can be used as the feedstock in the next downstream reaction. The method includes the steps of deconstructing cellulose to yield a product mixture comprising levulinic acid and formic acid, converting the levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone, and converting the γ-valerolactone to pentanoic acid. Alternatively, the γ-valerolactone can be converted to a mixture of n-butenes. The pentanoic acid so formed can be further reacted to yield a host of valuable products. For example, the pentanoic acid can be decarboxylated yield 1-butene or ketonized to yield 5-nonanone. The 5-nonanone can be hydrodeoxygenated to yield nonane, or 5-nonanone can be reduced to yield 5-nonanol. The 5-nonanol can be dehydrated to yield nonene, which can be dimerized to yield a mixture of C9 and C18 olefins, which can be hydrogenated to yield a mixture of alkanes. Alternatively, the nonene may be isomerized to yield a mixture of branched olefins, which can be hydrogenated to yield a mixture of branched alkanes. The mixture of n-butenes formed from γ-valerolactone can also be subjected to isomerization and oligomerization to yield olefins in the gasoline, jet and Diesel fuel ranges.

- The metathesis of α-olefins over supported Re-catalysts in supercritical CO2
-
At 35 °C, in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide (80-150 bar) as a solvent, α-olefins (RCHCH2, R = C4-C6) undergo highly selective self-metathesis catalyzed by supported Re-oxide (7%). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first procedure for the metathesis of alkenes, in which heterogeneous catalysts are combined with the use of dense CO2. The intrinsic eco-compatibility and the unique physicochemical properties of this medium offer both environmental and synthetic advantages: not only conventional toxic solvents (e.g. n-heptane and toluene) can be replaced, but the reaction is faster. For instance, after 2 h, the average conversion of 1-octene is 67% and 40% in scCO2 and n-heptane, respectively. The product of self-methatesis, 7-tetradecene, can be isolated in yields up to 68%. At 90 bar, the reaction is rather sensitive to the mole fraction of the olefin (in scCO2); though, the enhancement of the pressure (and the density) of the supercritical medium does not induce significant effects on either the rate or the selectivity of the process. The nature of the catalytic support also greatly affects the reaction outcome: Re-oxide shows good activity if dispersed over γ-Al2O3, while silica-based systems are ineffective.
