- Asymmetric Multifunctional Modular Organocatalysis: One-Pot Direct Strategy to Enantiopure α,β-Disubstituted γ-Butyrolactones
-
A simple and efficient approach to enantioenriched α,β-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones has been developed through multifunctional modular organocatalysis in a highly enantioselective (>99% ee) and diastereoselective (>30:1) manner following a one-pot sequential Michael-hemiacetalization-oxidation reaction. The catalytic process has great substrate compatibility, and the products have been transformed to synthetically useful molecules. The methodology has also been applied to the formal synthesis of (+)-Pilocarpine.

- A practical procedure for the synthesis of multifunctional aldehydes through the Fukuyama reduction and elucidation of the reaction site and mechanism
-
A highly efficient heterogeneous Pd/C catalyst D1 was found to effect the reduction of thiol esters 1 to the corresponding aldehydes 2 with such a low catalyst loading as 0.5-1.0mol%. The chemical properties of the Pd/C catalysts together with the XRF analysis reveal that the reduction is most likely to proceed on the solid surface of the Pd/C catalyst rather than in the solution phase outside the pores. A reaction mechanism through oxidative addition of Pd to the thiol esters 1 was postulated by detection of the oxidative addition intermediate by React IR analysis. A practical purification of 2 was accomplished by conversion to water-soluble bisulfite adducts 7.

- The first one-pot metathesis-hydroformylation procedure: a straight synthesis of 2-arylpropanals from renewable 1-propenylbenzenes
-
Hydroformylation is a consolidated synthetic tool in the chemical industry, both in commodity and in the fine chemicals industry. Olefin metathesis has been largely employed in the petrochemical sector, and, more recently, in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. Although these reactions may be involved in the same synthetic route for various industrial chemicals, to the best of our knowledge, they have never been combined in a one-pot procedure. As a proof of concept, we have demonstrated in the present work that the ruthenium-catalyzed ethenolysis of renewable 1-propenylbenzenes followed by the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of functionalized styrenes formed in the first step could be done in one pot. The integration of these reactions was not straightforward once the catalyst of the first step interfered with the catalyst of the second step. Under optimized conditions, it was possible to synthesize 2-arylpropanals, a class of compounds valuable as synthetic intermediates to access non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in overall yields of 85-90%, at low catalyst loadings.

- Transfer hydrogenations catalyzed by streptavidin-hosted secondary amine organocatalysts
-
Here, the streptavidin-biotin technology was applied to enable organocatalytic transfer hydrogenation. By introducing a biotin-tethered pyrrolidine (1) to the tetrameric streptavidin (T-Sav), the resulting hybrid catalyst was able to mediate hydride transfer from dihydro-benzylnicotinamide (BNAH) to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde and some of its aryl-substituted analogues was found to be nearly quantitative. Kinetic measurements revealed that the T-Sav:1 assembly possesses enzyme-like behavior, whereas isotope effect analysis, performed by QM/MM simulations, illustrated that the step of hydride transfer is at least partially rate-limiting. These results have proven the concept thatT-Savcan be used to host secondary amine-catalyzed transfer hydrogenations.

A catalytic stereoselective total synthesis of centrolobine and engelheptanoxides A and C has been completed via a metal-free catalytic δ-hydroxyalkynone rearrangement to 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-one and diastereoselective hydrogenation to the all syn-2,4,6-trisubstituted pyran strategy. The onliest required chirality was introduced by Jacobsen kinetic resolution, which further directed the diastereoselective hydrogenation. A first stereoselective synthesis of engelheptanoxide A is also accomplished. The analogues and derivatives of centrolobine and engelheptanoxides prepared were evaluated for antitubercular activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294.

- Access to Trisubstituted Fluoroalkenes by Ruthenium-Catalyzed Cross-Metathesis
-
Although the olefin metathesis reaction is a well-known and powerful strategy to get alkenes, this reaction remained highly challenging with fluororalkenes, especially the Cross-Metathesis (CM) process. Our thought was to find an easy accessible, convenient, reactive and post-functionalizable source of fluoroalkene, that we found as the methyl 2-fluoroacrylate. We reported herein the efficient ruthenium-catalyzed CM reaction of various terminal and internal alkenes with methyl 2-fluoroacrylate giving access, for the first time, to trisubstituted fluoroalkenes stereoselectively. Unprecedent TON for CM involving fluoroalkene, up to 175, have been obtained and the reaction proved to be tolerant and effective with a large range of olefin partners giving fair to high yields in metathesis products.

- Complex Polyheterocycles and the Stereochemical Reassignment of Pileamartine A via Aza-Heck Triggered Aryl C-H Functionalization Cascades
-
Structurally complex benzo- and spiro-fused N-polyheterocycles can be accessed via intramolecular Pd(0)-catalyzed alkene 1,2-aminoarylation reactions. The method uses N-(pentafluorobenzoyloxy)carbamates as the initiating motif, and this allows aza-Heck-type alkene amino-palladation in advance of C-H palladation of the aromatic component. The chemistry is showcased in the first total synthesis of the complex alkaloid (+)-pileamartine A, which has resulted in the reassignment of its absolute stereochemistry.

-
This work detailed the preparation of a class of water-soluble PNP ligands that differed by the nature of the substitute on phenyl ring of ligands. These ligands were incorporated into water-soluble rhodium-PNP complex catalysts that were used to regioselective hydroformylation of a series of terminal arylalkenes, providing efficient access to rac-α-aryl propionaldehydes in good to excellent yield (up to 97%) and branched-regioselectivity (up to 40:1 b/l ratio). Furthermore, gram-scale and diverse synthetic transformation demonstrated synthetic application of this methodology for non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

- Chemo- And regioselective hydroformylation of alkenes with CO2/H2over a bifunctional catalyst
-
As is well known, CO2 is an attractive renewable C1 resource and H2 is a cheap and clean reductant. Combining CO2 and H2 to prepare building blocks for high-value-added products is an attractive yet challenging topic in green chemistry. A general and selective rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes using CO2/H2 as a syngas surrogate is described here. With this protocol, the desired aldehydes can be obtained in up to 97% yield with 93/7 regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions (25 bar and 80 °C). The key to success is the use of a bifunctional Rh/PTA catalyst (PTA: 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), which facilitates both CO2 hydrogenation and hydroformylation. Notably, monodentate PTA exhibited better activity and regioselectivity than common bidentate ligands, which might be ascribed to its built-in basic site and tris-chelated mode. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation proceeds through cascade steps, involving free HCOOH production through CO2 hydrogenation, fast release of CO, and rhodium-catalyzed conventional hydroformylation. Moreover, the unconventional hydroformylation pathway, in which HCOOAc acts as a direct C1 source, has also been proved to be feasible with superior regioselectivity to that of the CO pathway.

- Insight into decomposition of formic acid to syngas required for Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins
-
Formic acid (FA) is one kind of important bulk chemicals, which is recognized as a sustainable and eco-friendly energy carrier to transport H2 via dehydrogenation or CO via decarbonylation. Expectantly, FA upon decomposition into H2 and CO could be used as the syngas alternative for hydroformylation. In this paper, the behaviors of FA to release H2 as well as CO following the distinct pathways were carefully investigated for the first time, and then established a new hydroformylation protocol free of syngas. It was found that the atmospheric hydroformylation of olefins with formic acid (FA) as syngas alternative was smoothly fulfilled over Xantphos (L1) modified Rh-catalyst under mild conditions (80 °C, Rh concentration 1 mol %, 14 h), resulting in >90% conversion of the olefins along with the high selectivity to the target aldehydes (>93%). By using FA as syngas source, the side-reaction of olefin-hydrogenation was greatly depressed. The in situ FT-IR and the high-pressure 1H NMR spectroscopic analyses were applied to reveal how FA behaves dually as CO surrogate and hydrogen source over L1-Rh(acac)(CO)2 catalytic system, based on which the deeply insight into the catalytic mechanism of hydroformylation of olefins with FA as syngas alternative was offered.

- Silicon Carbide Supported Palladium-Iridium Bimetallic Catalysts for Efficient Selective Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde
-
Selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls into saturated carbonyls is important to obtain remunerative products. However, it is still a challenge to achieve high activity and selectivity under mild conditions. Herein, Pd, Ir and bimetallic Pd-Ir nanoparticles were uniformly deposited with high dispersity on the surface of SiC by a facile impregnation method, respectively. The as-prepared Pd/SiC catalysts efficiently hydrogenate cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the activity of Pd/SiC is observed further enhanced by adding Ir component (conversion of 100%). In addition, the dependence of Pd-Ir catalyst activity on Pd/Ir molar ratio confirms a synergistic effect between Ir and Pd, which originates from the electron transfer between Pd and Ir.

- Chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes over Rh nanoclusters confined in a metal-organic framework
-
Selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to achieve high selectivity towards a desirable product is still a great challenge mainly because of the complex conjugate system. Herein, Rh nanoclusters encapsulated in MIL-101 (Cr), synthesized by the double solvent method, are able to selectively hydrogenate C-C of cinnamaldehyde, an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and achieve over 98percent selectivity with a conversion of 98percent to a saturated aldehyde under mild conditions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms that MIL-101 acts as an aldehyde protector to suppress the reactivity of C-O, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data indicate that the electropositive Rh, owing to the electron transfer from Rh to MIL-101, preferentially absorbs C-C rather than C-O leading to -improvement of the selectivity towards saturated aldehydes. In addition, Rh@MIL-101 can also efficiently catalyse hydrodefluorination of aryl fluorides with good stability. This work provides a basic strategy to develop other selective heterogeneous catalystsviastructural modulation for synergetic catalysis.

- Triphenylphosphine-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks and Heterogeneous Rh-P-COFs Catalysts

The synthesis of phosphine-based functional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has attracted great attention recently. Herein, we present two examples of triphenylphosphine-based COFs (termed P-COFs) with well-defined crystalline structures, high specific surface areas, and good thermal stability. Furthermore, rhodium catalysts with these P-COFs as support material show high turnover frequency for the hydroformylation of olefins, as well as excellent recycling performance. This work not only extends the phosphine-based COF family, but also demonstrates their application in immobilizing homogeneous metal-based (e.g., Rh-phosphine) catalysts for application in heterogeneous catalysis.

- Binuclear Pd(I)-Pd(I) Catalysis Assisted by Iodide Ligands for Selective Hydroformylation of Alkenes and Alkynes
-
Since its discovery in 1938, hydroformylation has been thoroughly investigated and broadly applied in industry (>107 metric ton yearly). However, the ability to precisely control its regioselectivity with well-established Rh- or Co-catalysts has thus far proven elusive, thereby limiting access to many synthetically valuable aldehydes. Pd-catalysts represent an appealing alternative, yet their use remains sparse due to undesired side-processes. Here, we report a highly selective and exceptionally active catalyst system that is driven by a novel activation strategy and features a unique Pd(I)-Pd(I) mechanism, involving an iodide-assisted binuclear step to release the product. This method enables β-selective hydroformylation of a large range of alkenes and alkynes, including sensitive starting materials. Its utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of antiobesity drug Rimonabant and anti-HIV agent PNU-32945. In a broader context, the new mechanistic understanding enables the development of other carbonylation reactions of high importance to chemical industry.

A small library of diaza-crown ether-bridged chiral diphosphoramidite ligands was prepared. In the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions, these ligands exhibited distinct properties in catalytic activity and/or enantioselectivity. Hydrogenated products with opposite absolute configurations could be obtained in high yields with excellent ee values by utilizing (S,S)-L1 and (S,S)-L3, respectively. Meanwhile, the addition of alkali metal cations caused variations in catalytic outcomes, showing the supramolecular tunability of these Rh/diphosphoramidite catalytic systems.

- Remote Functionalization of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyls by Multimetallic Sequential Catalysis
-
The remote functionalization of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls by an array of multimetallic sequential catalytic systems is described. The reactions are triggered by hydrometalation using [Pd-H] or [Ru-H] isomerization catalysts and driven by the formation of thermodynamically more stable 1,2-vinyl arenes. The Pd-catalyzed deconjugative isomerization was combined with a Cu-catalyzed β-borylation of the transiently generated styrenyl derivatives to deliver a range of products that would not be accessible with the use of a single catalyst. [Pd/Cu] catalytic systems were also identified for the highly enantioselective α-hydroboration and α-hydroamination of the styrenyl intermediates. Difunctionalization simultaneously at the benzylic and homobenzylic positions was achieved by combining the isomerization process with Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD) using [Pd/Os] or [Ru/Os] couples. Starting from a simple α,β-unsaturated ester, an isomerization/dihydroxylation/lactonization sequence gave access to a naturally occurring γ-butyrolactone in good yield, with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

- Synthesis of tetra-pincer nickel(ii) and palladium(ii) complexes of resorcin[4]arene-octophosphinite [Res(OPR2)8] and rhodium-catalyzed regioselective hydroformylation reaction
-
The condensation reaction of resorcinol with pentanal yielded resorcin[4]arene 1 which on bromination using N-bromosuccinimide at room temperature produced tetra-bromide derivative 2. The reactions of 2 with chlorodiphenylphosphine and o-phenylenephosphoro-chloridite yielded octaphosphinite 3 (hereafter referred to as octaphos) and octaphosphite 4, respectively. The reactions of 3 with Ni(COD)2 or Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 in appropriate molar ratios yielded tetra-pincer complexes 5 and 6, respectively. The structures of both the complexes were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The resorcin[4]arene backbone adopts a boat structure in these complexes. Typically, the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene prevalently delivers a branched (b) chiral aldehyde. A unique resorcin[4]arene skeleton based octaphos 3 was employed in the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene. The hydroformylation of styrene with a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1 (M:L) was found to be regioselective, producing a linear (l) aldehyde as a major product with 100% conversion in 3 h. The l:b ratio surprisingly increased when the ortho positions of styrene were populated by methyl and chloro substituents. The hydroformylation of p-nitro styrene triggered a remarkably high linear:branched aldehyde ratio of 2.4 (71% linear aldehyde) despite its electron withdrawing nature. The highest linear selectivity of 97% (l:b ratio 27.8) was achieved in the case of 2,4,6-trimethylstyrene.

- A Nucleophilicity Scale for the Reactivity of Diazaphospholenium Hydrides: Structural Insights and Synthetic Applications
-
Nucleophilicity parameters (N, sN) of a group of representative diazaphospholenium hydrides were derived by kinetic investigations of their hydride transfer to a series of reference electrophiles with known electrophilicity (E) values, using the Mayr equation log k2=sN(N+E). The N scale covers over ten N units, ranging from the most reactive hydride donor (N=25.5) to the least of the scale (N=13.5). This discloses the highest N value ever quantified in terms of Mayr's nucleophilicity scales reported for neutral transition-metal-free hydride donors and implies an exceptional reactivity of this reagent. Even the least reactive hydride donor of this series is still a better hydride donor than those of many other nucleophiles such as the C?H, B?H, Si?H and transition-metal M?H hydride donors. Structure–reactivity analysis reveals that the outstanding hydricity of 2-H-1,3,2-diazaphospholene benefits from the unsaturated skeleton.

- 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.

- Synthesis and in vitro antiproliferative activity of C5-benzyl substituted 2-amino-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as potent Hsp90 inhibitors
-
A novel series of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors was identified by X-ray crystal analysis of complex structures at solvent-exposed exit pocket C. The 2-amino-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, 7-deazapurines substituted with a benzyl moiety at C5, showed potent Hsp90 inhibition and broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity against NCI-60 cancer cell lines. The most potent compound, 6a, inhibited Hsp90 with an IC50of 36?nM and showed a submicromolar mean GI50value against NCI-60 cell lines. The interaction of 6a at the ATP-binding pocket of Hsp90 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography and Western blot analysis.

- Highly efficient aqueous phase chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalysed by phosphine-decorated polymer immobilized IL-stabilized PdNPs
-
Phosphino-decorated polymer immobilised ionic liquid phase stabilised palladium nanoparticles (PdNP@PPh2-PIILP) and their PEGylated counterparts (PdNP@PPh2-PEGPIILP) are remarkably active and exceptionally selective catalysts for the aqueous phase hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, esters and nitriles with PdNP@PPh2-PEGPIILP giving complete conversion and 100% selectivity for reduction of the CC bond, under mild conditions. This is the most selective PdNP-based system to be reported for the aqueous phase hydrogenation of this class of substrates.

- Heck arylation of allyl alcohol catalyzed by Pd(0) nanoparticles
-
Pd(0) nanoparticles ca. 2 nm in diameter were obtained by the reduction of PdCl2 and Pd(OAc)2 in water at 80 °C in the presence of a PVP-stabilizing polymer. Pd(0) NPs were successfully used in the Heck coupling of allyl alcohol with iodo- and bromobenzenes. Iodobenzenes reacted under solventless conditions or in DMF solution producing 3-arylpropanals and 2-arylpropanals as the main products. The same products were obtained in the reaction of bromobenzene in TBAB as the reaction medium. The stability of Pd(0) NPs was evidenced in recycling experiments. Similar Heck coupling results were also obtained with the palladium compounds PdCl2(cod) and Pd(OAc)2 under the same conditions.

- Porous Rh/BINAP polymers as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene: Enhanced enantioselectivity realized by flexible chiral nanopockets
-
A new chiral monomer, (S)-5,5′-divinyl-BINAP, was successfully synthesized and embedded into two different porous organic polymers (Poly-1 and Poly-2). After loading a Rh species, the catalysts were applied for the heterogeneous asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene. Compared with the homogeneous BINAP analogue, the enantioselectivity of Rh/Poly-1 catalyst was drastically increased by approximately 70%. The improved enantioselectivity of the porous Rh/BINAP polymers was attributed to the presence of flexible chiral nanopockets resulting from the increased bulk of the R groups near the catalytic center.

- Synthesis and bioactivities of novel piperazine-containing 1,5-Diphenyl-2-penten-1-one analogues from natural product lead
-
A series of novel 1,5-Diphenyl-2-penten-1-one analogues (7a–h, 8a–h) with piperazine moiety have been designed and synthesized on the basis of natural product 1,5-Diphenyl-2-penten-1-one (I). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for anti-plant pathogenic fungi activities and insecticidal activities. The results indicated that most of these analogues exhibited moderate antifungal activities and moderate to good insecticidal activities. Amongst them, the most potent 7c, 7e and 7h keep a mortality of 100% against larva of mosquito at the concentration of 1?mg/L. Initial structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that, a methyl group can influence the biological activities of these compounds significantly, the compounds with N′-unsubstituted piperazine showed much better antifungal activities and larvicidal activity against mosquito than the compounds with N′-methylated piperazine. In addition, the larvicidal activity against mosquito had sharply decline when the substituent on benzene ring was changed from 4-position to 2 or 3-position.

- H-type zeolite-catalyzed 1,4-addition of benzene derivatives to labile acrolein
-
The 1,4-addition of benzene derivatives to acrolein is a straightforward way to synthesize 3-arylpropanals. A survey of acid catalysts for the 1,4-addition of methoxy-substituted benzenes to acrolein revealed that H-Beta and H-Y were the most suitable catalysts. We hypothesized three side-reactions: (1) the double 1,4-addition of acrolein to the starting benzene derivatives, (2) the Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation to the desired product, and (3) the self-polymerization of acrolein. The type (3) side-reaction was inhibited by two different methods which kept the concentration of acrolein low in the reaction mixture or in the zeolite pores. First, acrolein monomers were in situ generated through the gradual monomerization of an acrolein cyclic trimer. Second, using a reaction solvent lowered the acrolein concentration in the zeolite pores due to the competitive adsorption. We discovered that the content of monomeric acrolein in a solvent was closely related to the polarity of the solvent. Actually, both methods improved the yields for the 1,4-additions of 1,3-dimethoxybenzene to acrolein. Other electron-rich benzene derivatives, such as phenol and N, N-dimethylaniline, were also applicable to the 1,4-addition reactions.

- A Two-Component Alkyne Metathesis Catalyst System with an Improved Substrate Scope and Functional Group Tolerance: Development and Applications to Natural Product Synthesis
-
Although molybdenum alkylidyne complexes such as 1 endowed with triarylsilanolate ligands are excellent catalysts for alkyne metathesis, they can encounter limitations when (multiple) protic sites are present in a given substrate and/or when forcing conditions are necessary. In such cases, a catalyst formed in situ upon mixing of the trisamidomolybenum alkylidyne complex 3 and the readily available trisilanol derivatives 8 or 11 shows significantly better performance. This two-component system worked well for a series of model compounds comprising primary, secondary or phenolic -OH groups, as well as for a set of challenging (bis)propargylic substrates. Its remarkable efficiency is also evident from applications to the total syntheses of manshurolide, a highly strained sesquiterpene lactone with kinase inhibitory activity, and the structurally demanding immunosuppressive cyclodiyne ivorenolide A; in either case, the standard catalyst 1 largely failed to effect the critical macrocyclization, whereas the two-component system was fully operative. A study directed toward the quinolizidine alkaloid lythrancepine I features yet another instructive example, in that a triyne substrate was metathesized with the help of 3/11 such that two of the triple bonds participated in ring closure, while the third one passed uncompromised. As a spin-off of this project, a much improved ruthenium catalyst for the redox isomerization of propargyl alcohols to the corresponding enones was developed.

- Rhodium-complexed hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) and polyamidoamine and their non-covalent immobilization on magnetic nanoparticles
-
We describe a synthetic strategy for the synthesis and functionalization of hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) (H-PEI) and polyamidoamine (H-PAMAM) with phosphine ligands and their non-covalent immobilization on magnetic nanosupports. Treatment of these functionalized hyperbranched polymers with Rh(COD)2BF4 affords polymer-bound Rh(I) complexes that can be utilized in the hydroformylation of alkenes and in one pot hydroformylation-Knoevenagel-hydrogenation reactions. These functionalized hyperbranched polymers are linked to magnetic nanoparticles that are modified with carboxylic acid groups via ionic interactions resulting from the acid-base reactions, and are responsible for facilitating the separation of the polymeric catalysts. These magnetically retrievable polymeric catalysts can be reused for up to four cycles.

- Enantioselective hydroformylation of 2- and 4-substituted styrenes with PtCl2[(R)-BINAP] + SnCl2‘in situ’ catalyst
-
Two sets of styrenes possessing various substituents either in ortho or para position were hydroformylated in the presence of ‘in situ’ catalyst formed from PtCl2[(R)-BINAP] and tin(II) chloride. The reversal of the absolute configuration of the preferred enantiomers was observed using both sets of substrates by the variation of the reaction temperature in the range of 40–100 °C. In case of the 4-substituted styrenes, the reversal temperature of the enantioselectivity shows correlation with the Hammett substituent constants, i.e., with the electron donor or electron acceptor properties of the para-substituents. This phenomenon was explained by the reversible formation of the Pt-branched alkyl intermediates, leading to the corresponding (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of 2-arylpropanals. Strong substituent effect on the regioselectivity was observed in the hydroformylation of 2-substituted styrenes: the presence of substituents characterised by larger steric parameter resulted in the highly favoured formation of the linear aldehyde. For instance, regioselectivities of 45%, 22% and 7% towards branched aldehyde were obtained with styrene, 2-fluoro- and 2-bromostyrene, respectively, at 80 °C reaction temperature. In addition to the characteristic change of regioselectivity, the reversal of absolute configuration as a function of reaction temperature was also observed.

- General and Mild Cobalt-Catalyzed C-Alkylation of Unactivated Amides and Esters with Alcohols
-
The borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer methodology is an elegant and sustainable or green concept to construct carbon-carbon bonds. In this concept, alcohols, which can be obtained from barely used and indigestible biomass, such as lignocellulose, are employed as alkylating reagents. An especially challenging alkylation is that of unactivated esters and amides. Only noble metal catalysts based on iridium and ruthenium have been used to accomplish these reactions. Herein, we report on the first base metal-catalyzed α-alkylation of unactivated amides and esters by alcohols. Cobalt complexes stabilized with pincer ligands, recently developed in our laboratory, catalyze these reactions very efficiently. The precatalysts can be synthesized easily from commercially available starting materials on a multigram scale and are self-activating under the basic reaction conditions. This Co catalyst class is also able to mediate alkylation reactions of both esters and amides. In addition, we apply the methodology to synthesize ketones and to convert alcohols into aldehydes elongated by two carbon atoms.

- Hydroformylation of olefins and reductive carbonylation of aryl halides with syngas formed ex situ from dehydrogenative decarbonylation of hexane-1,6-diol
-
A variety of primary alcohols have been investigated as convenient substrates for the ex situ delivery of carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen in a two-chamber reactor. The gaseous mixture is liberated in one chamber by an iridium-catalysed dehydrogenative decarbonylation of the alcohol and then consumed in the other chamber in either a rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of olefins or a palladium-catalysed reductive carbonylation of aryl halides. Hexane-1,6-diol was found to be the optimum alcohol for both reactions where moderate to excellent yields were obtained of the product aldehydes. A relatively low pressure of 1.5-2.4 bar was measured in the closed system during the two transformations.

- Promotion effect of water on hydroformylation of styrene and its derivatives with presence of amphiphilic zwitterionic phosphines
-
Two kinds of novel zwitterionic phosphines of L1 and L2 have been synthesized in which the sulfonate groups (-SO3-) are incorporated to render them amphiphilic. Both of them are strong π-acceptor ligands in which the positive-charged imidazoliums with intensive electron-withdrawing effect are vicinal to the coordinating phosphorous atoms. The amino-group of piperidyl is additionally incorporated in L2 to make it behave as a hybrid ligand with potential hemilability. The comparison of the ligands of L1 and L2 in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrene (and its derivatives) and the effect of water on their behaviors were discussed. Without the involvement of water, the catalytic system of Rh(acac)(CO)2-L2 exhibited lower activity than that of Rh(acac)(CO)2-L1 under the same conditions. However, the dramatic promotion effect of water as a suspension was observed especially for Rh(acac)(CO)2-L2 system with TOF spurred up from 195 to 470 h-1. The corresponding in situ high pressure FT-IR spectral information showed that the presence of water in Rh(acac)(CO)2-L2 system greatly facilitated the formation and stability of the active Rh-H species (νRh-H, 2047 cm-1), which was in charge of the efficient hydroformylation of styrene and its derivatives.
