- New strategy for production of primary alcohols from aliphatic olefins by tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation
-
Primary alcohols are widely used in industry as solvents and precursors of detergents. The classic methods for hydration of terminal alkenes always produce the Markovnikov products. Herein, we reported a reliable approach to produce primary alcohols from terminal alkenes combining with biomass-derived allyl alcohol by tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation. A series of primary alcohol with different chain lengths was successfully produced in high yields (ca. 90percent). Computational studies revealed that self-metathesis and hydrogenation of substrates are accessible but much slower than cross-metathesis. This new methodology represents a unique alternative to primary alcohols from terminal alkenes.

- Ru-Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Oxygenation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids through N-(acyloxy)phthalimide
-
Decarboxylative aminoxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives with (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) in the presence of ruthenium photoredox catalysis is reported. The key transformation entails a highly efficient photoredox catalytic cycle using Hantzsch ester as a reductant. The ensuing alkoxyamine can be readily converted to the corresponding alcohol in one pot, representing an alternative approach to access aliphatic alcohols under photoredox conditions.

- Convergent synthesis of a deuterium-labeled serine dipeptide lipid for analysis of biological samples
-
Bacterial serine dipeptide lipids are known to promote inflammatory processes and are detected in human tissues associated with periodontal disease or atherosclerosis. Accurate quantification of bacterial serine lipid, specifically lipid 654 [((S)-15-methyl-3-((13-methyltetradecanoyl)oxy)hexadecanoyl)glycyl-l-serine, (3S)-l-serine] isolated from Porphyromonas gingivalis, in biological samples requires the preparation of a stable isotope internal standard for sample supplementation and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis. This report describes the convergent synthesis of a deuterium-substituted serine dipeptide lipid, which is an isotopically labeled homologue that represents a dominant form of serine dipeptide lipid recovered in bacteria.

- Ruthenium-Catalyzed Deaminative Hydrogenation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Nitriles to Primary Alcohols
-
The deaminative hydrogenation of nitriles towards alcohols is a useful reaction to transform nitriles into alcohols with NH3 as the sole byproduct. Using the simple and robust RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 complex as a catalyst, at low H2 pressures a series of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles could be transformed into the corresponding alcohols. Suitable solvent systems for these reactions were 1,4-dioxane/water and EtOH/water mixtures. In most cases, the selectivity for the alcohols was excellent, and the corresponding amines were formed only in trace amounts.

- From alkenes to alcohols by cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation-reduction
-
The cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes in the presence of a range of novel cyclic phosphine ligands was investigated. The effect of various parameters such as solvents, additives, cobalt/phosphine ratio, CO/H2 (1:2), and nature of the alkenes was examined. The results revealed that both terminal and internal alkenes are hydroformylated in high yields to give mainly linear products at moderate temperature and syn gas pressure. The linearity ranges from 43 to 85%, with Lim-10 giving the highest proportion of linear product.

- Copper-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions using hydrocarbon additives: Efficiency of catalyst and roles of additives
-
Cross-coupling of alkyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents proceeds with extremely high TONs of up to 1230000 using a Cu/unsaturated hydrocarbon catalytic system. Alkyl fluorides, chlorides, bromides, and tosylates are all suitable electrophiles, and a TOF as high as 31200 h-1 was attained using an alkyl iodide. Side reactions of this catalytic system, i.e., reduction, dehydrohalogenation (elimination), and the homocoupling of alkyl halides, occur in the absence of additives. It appears that the reaction involves the β-hydrogen elimination of alkylcopper intermediates, giving rise to olefins and Cu-H species, and that this process triggers both side reactions and the degradation of the Cu catalyst. The formed Cu-H promotes the reduction of alkyl halides to give alkanes and Cu-X or the generation of Cu(0), probably by disproportionation, which can oxidatively add to alkyl halides to yield olefins and, in some cases, homocoupling products. Unsaturated hydrocarbon additives such as 1,3-butadiene and phenylpropyne play important roles in achieving highly efficient cross-coupling by suppressing β-hydrogen elimination, which inhibits both the degradation of the Cu catalyst and undesirable side reactions.

- Synthesis of symmetrical organic carbonates via significantly enhanced alkylation of metal carbonates with alkyl halides/sulfonates in ionic liquid
-
We report a new phosgene-free method for the synthesis of symmetrical organic carbonates via alkylation of metal carbonate with various alkyl halides and sulfonates in 1-n-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [bmim] [PF6], as an ecofriendly reaction media. Alkylation of metal carbonate in various ionic liquids with 1-bromo-3-phenylpropane (1a) as a model reactant has thoroughly been investigated. Potassium and cesium carbonates appeared to be the most suitable metal carbonate due to their high solubility in ionic liquids. Besides good to excellent yields, this simple and convenient methodology is devoid of highly toxic and harmful chemicals such as phosgene and carbon monoxide, which is an additional advantage.

- Free-of-loss catalyst recycling in the hydroformylation of higher molecular olefins by a novel process technology
-
In this paper a novel homogenous-heterogeneous procedure for the hydroformylation reaction of higher molecular olefins is presented, at which the reaction itself is homogeneously catalyzed and only after the reaction the catalyst complex is heterogenized only for separation. This procedure is achieved by using the lithium salt of triphenylphosphine monosulfonic acid (Li-TPPMS) as complex ligand for the hydroformylation catalyst and methanol as solubilizer. Li-TPPMS and its complexes with metal carbonyls are highly soluble in water and methanol, but completely insoluble in almost all other organic solvents. After the reaction the methanol is distilled off. The catalyst system becomes insoluble and can be separated from the reaction product by filtration or by extraction with water. The aqueous catalyst solution is evaporated to dryness and the catalyst system dissolved in methanol for a new reaction. Johann Ambrosius Barth 1997.

- Hydroformylation with Water- and Methanol-soluble Rhodium Carbonyl/phenyl-sulfonatoalkylphosphine Catalyst Systems - A New Concept for the Hydroformylation of Higher Molecular Olefins
-
The heterogenization of the homogenous hydroformylating catalyst system enables the recorvery of the catalyst from the reaction products by a simple phase separation but it is unfavourable that many advantages of the homogeneous catalysis are given up by this procedure.To avoid this drawback we used rhodium carbonyl/tert. phosphine catalyst systems soluble as good in methanol as in water for the homogeneously catalyzed hydroformylation of the olefin in methanolic solution.Only after reaction the product mixture is heterogenized by adding water forming an aqueous phase containing the catalyst system.It was shown by the hydroformylation of n-tetradecene-1 with rhodium carbonyl/phenylsulfonatoalkyl-phosphine catalyst systems that this new conception is very useful for the oxo reaction of high-molecular olefins.

- THE INVENTION OF RADICAL REACTIONS. PART XVIII. DECARBOXYLATIVE RADICAL ADDITION TO ARSENIC, ANTIMONY, AND BISMUTH PHENYLSULPHIDES - A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF NOR-ALCOHOLS FROM CARBOXYLIC ACIDS
-
Carbon centered radicals obtained by decarboxylative transformation of suitable thiohydroxamate esters react with group Va trisphenylsulphides to give intermediates of general formula R-M(SPh)2 (M= As, Sb, Bi).These react spontaneously with air to give the corresponding alcohols.This procedure is especially useful in the case where M=Sb.It is thus sufficient to stir the thiohydroxamate ester with tris(phenylthio)antimony under air to obtain the nor alcohol directly and in high yield.The intermediate organometalloid could also be oxidised with nitrogen dioxide to give the expected nitroalkane albeit in only modest yield.The corresponding organobismuth intermediate derived from 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid could actually be isolated thereby providing strong evidence for the proposed mechanism.

The aliphatic and alicyclic esters of N-hydroxy-pyridine-2-thione are readily reduced by tributylstannane in a radical chain reaction to furnish nor-alkanes.In the absence of the stannane a smooth decarboxylative rearrangement occurs to give 2-substituted thiopyridines.The radicals present in this reaction provoke with t-butylthiol an efficient radical reaction with formation of nor-alkane and 2-pyridyl-t-butyl disulphide.Similarly these carbon radicals can be captured by halogen atom transfer to give noralkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides.With oxygen in the presence of t-butylthiol the corresponding noralkyl hydroperoxides are formed in another radical chain reaction.
