We describe an efficient protocol for the regioselective isomerization of terminal alkenes employing a previously described bifunctional Ir-based PC(sp3)complex (4) possessing a hemilabile sidearm. The isomerization, catalyzed by 4, results in a one-step shift of the double bond in good to excellent selectivity, and good yield. Our mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction is driven by the stepwise migratory insertion of Ir?H species into the terminal double bond/β-H elimination events. However, the selectivity of the reaction is controlled by dissociation of the hemilabile sidearm, which acts as a selector, favoring less sterically hindered substrates such as terminal alkenes; importantly, it prevents recombination and further isomerization of the internal ones.

Method for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of (E)-Β,γ- unsaturated acids from aldehydes under solvent-free conditions
Zhang, Shi-Jie,Hu, Wei-Xiao
experimental part, p. 3093 - 3100 (2010/12/19)
Synthesis of (E)-β,-γunsaturated acids from aldehydes with malonic acid has been explored under solvent-free conditions. The modified Knoevenagel condensation reaction with N-methyl morpholine (NMM) as catalyst exhibits highly β,-γ regioselectivity and exclusively E-stereoselectivity. A mechanism accounting for both regio- and stereoselectivity has been proposed and preliminarily studied. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The anticancer platinum complexes here described react with organic substrates (such as acids, alkenes, alkynes) and catalyze transformations that can occur in biomolecules which contain unsaturated functions. We have analyzed the role of the platinum complexes in the observed reactions and studied the progress of the detected transformations upon variation of the reaction conditions.

Catalytic Conversion of Cellulose to Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Progressive Removal of Oxygen to Facilitate Separation Processes and Achieve High Selectivities
-
Page/Page column 10-11, (2010/12/31)
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.

Page 32, (2008/06/13)
A method has been developed to prepare (E)- and (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acids (2M2BA) from a mixture of (E,Z)-2-methyl-2-butenenitriles (2M2BN) by the regioselective hydrolysis of (E)-2M2BN to (E)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid (2M2BA) using enzyme catalysts having either a nitrilase activity or a combination of nitrile hydratase and amidase activities. The method provides high yields without significant conversion of (Z)-2M2BN to (Z)-2M2BA. The regioselective hydrolysis of (E)-2M2BN to (E)-2M2BA makes possible the facile separation of (E)-2M2BA from (Z)-2M2BN or (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenamide (2M2BAm), and the subsequent conversion of (Z)-2M2BN or (Z)-2M2BAm to (Z)-2M2BA.
