The base-assisted Pd(cod)Cl2/Xantphos-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of 1,3-butadiene (BD) to methyl-3-pentenoate (MP) was explored. Mechanistic studies suggest the excessive Xantphos (beyond an equimolar amount per Pd) as well as its substitute, pyridines of proper steric and electronic functionality, do participate the catalytic cycle and significantly reduce the activation energy by accelerating the rate-limiting methanolysis step. As thus, all the reaction parameters, especially the solvents, were optimized based on the Pd(cod)Cl2/Xantphos/4-hexylpyridine catalytic system, enabling the construction of a continuous process. Systematic optimization demonstrates that a yield of 82% of MP with a purity of 99.8% could be reached under steady-state operation.

The catalytic transposition of double bonds holds promise as an ideal route to alkenes of value as fragrances, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; yet, selective access to specific isomers is a challenge, normally requiring independent development of different catalysts for different products. In this work, a single cation-responsive iridium catalyst selectively produces either of two different internal alkene isomers. In the absence of salts, a single positional isomerization of 1-butene derivatives furnishes 2-alkenes with exceptional regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The same catalyst, in the presence of Na+, mediates two positional isomerizations to produce 3-alkenes. The synthesis of new iridium pincer-crown ether catalysts based on an aza-18-crown-6 ether proved instrumental in achieving cation-controlled selectivity. Experimental and computational studies guided the development of a mechanistic model that explains the observed selectivity for various functionalized 1-butenes, providing insight into strategies for catalyst development based on noncovalent modifications.

Phenylene-bridged diphobane ligands with different substituents (CF3, H, OMe, (OMe)2, tBu) have been synthesized and applied as ligands in palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions of various alkenes. The performance of these ligands in terms of selectivity in hydroformylation versus alkoxycarbonylation has been studied using 1-hexene, 1-octene, and methyl pentenoates as substrates, and the results have been compared with the ethylene-bridged diphobane ligand (BCOPE). Hydroformylation of 1-octene in the protic solvent 2-ethyl hexanol results in a competition between hydroformylation and alkoxycarbonylation, whereby the phenylene-bridged ligands, in particular, the trifluoromethylphenylene-bridged diphobane L1 with an electron-withdrawing substituent, lead to ester products via alkoxycarbonylation, whereas BCOPE gives predominantly alcohol products (n-nonanol and isomers) via reductive hydroformylation. The preference of BCOPE for reductive hydroformylation is also seen in the hydroformylation of 1-hexene in diglyme as the solvent, producing heptanol as the major product, whereas phenylene-bridged ligands show much lower activities in this case. The phenylene-bridged ligands show excellent performance in the methoxycarbonylation of 1-octene to methyl nonanoate, significantly better than BCOPE, the opposite trend seen in hydroformylation activity with these ligands. Studies on the hydroformylation of functionalized alkenes such as 4-methyl pentenoate with phenylene-bridged ligands versus BCOPE showed that also in this case, BCOPE directs product selectivity toward alcohols, while phenylene-bridge diphobane L2 favors aldehyde formation. In addition to ligand effects, product selectivities are also determined by the nature and the amount of the acid cocatalyst used, which can affect substrate and aldehyde hydrogenation as well as double bond isomerization.

Paragraph 0039-0064, (2021/06/13)
The invention relates to a method for preparing carboxylic ester through long-chain olefin hydrogen esterification reaction. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: mixing long-chain olefin of which the C number is greater than or equal to 4 with a catalyst, a carbonyl source and alkyl alcohol according to a certain ratio, and carrying out hydrogen esterification reaction in a high-boiling-point solvent such as ester, ketone, ether, amide, aromatic hydrocarbon, sulfone (sulfoxide) or conventional ionic liquid. The first ligand is a bidentate phosphine ligand, and the second ligand is an ionic liquid containing a single-coordination central atom (N, P). The method has the advantages that raw material gas and liquid phases can be in full contact, the catalyst and a high-boiling-point solvent system can be recycled, and rapid separation of the catalyst and a product is achieved. In the conjugated olefin hydrogen esterification reaction, the olefin conversion rate is more than 80%, and the product selectivity is more than 85%; in the monoolefine hydrogen esterification reaction, the olefin conversion rate is greater than 90%, and the product selectivity is greater than 95%.
Modulation of N^N′-bidentate chelating pyridyl-pyridylidene amide ligands offers mechanistic insights into Pd-catalysed ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymerisation

The efficient copolymerisation of functionalised olefins with alkenes continues to offer considerable challenges to catalyst design. Based on recent work using palladium complexes containing a dissymmetric N^N′-bidentate pyridyl-PYA ligand (PYA = pyridylidene amide), which showed a high propensity to insert methyl acrylate, we have here modified this catalyst structure by inserting shielding groups either into the pyridyl fragment, or the PYA unit, or both to avoid fast β-hydrogen elimination. While a phenyl substituent at the pyridyl side impedes catalytic activity completely and leads to an off-cycle cyclometallation, the introduction of an ortho-methyl group on the PYA side of the N^N′-ligand was more prolific and doubled the catalytic productivity. Mechanistic investigations with this ligand system indicated the stabilisation of a 4-membered metallacycle intermediate at room temperature, which has previously been postulated and detected only at 173 K, but never observed at ambient temperature so far. This intermediate was characterised by solution NMR spectroscopy and rationalises, in part, the formation of α,β-unsaturated esters under catalytic conditions, thus providing useful principles for optimised catalyst design.

Dialkyldiazirines have emerged as reagents of choice for biological photoaffinity labeling studies. The mechanism of crosslinking has dramatic consequences for biological applications where instantaneous labeling is desirable, as carbene insertions display different chemoselectivity and are much faster than competing mechanisms involving diazo or ylide intermediates. Here, deuterium labeling and diazo compound trapping experiments are employed to demonstrate that both carbene and diazo mechanisms operate in the reactions of a dialkyldiazirine motif that is commonly utilized for biological applications. For the fraction of intermolecular labeling that does involve a carbene mechanism, direct insertion is not necessarily involved, as products derived from a carbonyl ylide are also observed. We demonstrate that a strained cycloalkyne can intercept diazo compound intermediates and serve as a bioorthogonal probe for studying the contribution of the diazonium mechanism of photoaffinity labeling on a model protein under aqueous conditions.
Regioselective Isomerization of Terminal Alkenes Catalyzed by a PC(sp3)Pincer Complex with a Hemilabile Pendant Arm

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.

Use of ZrO2/SiO2 as a solid acid catalyst in the ring-opening of biobased γ-valerolactone with methanol in the gas phase leads to mixtures of methyl 2-, 3-, and 4-pentenoate (MP) in over 95 % selectivity, containing a surprising 81 % of M4P. This process allows the application of a selective hydroformylation to this mixture to convert M4P into methyl 5-formyl-valerate (M5FV) with 90 % selectivity. The other isomers remain unreacted. Reductive amination of M5FV and ring-closure to ?-caprolactam in excellent yield had been reported before. The remaining mixture of 2- and 3-MP was subjected to an isomerising methoxycarbonylation to dimethyl adipate in 91 % yield.

A series of cationic palladium complexes [Pd(N^N′)Me(NCMe)]+ was synthesized, comprising three different N^N′-bidentate coordinating pyridyl-pyridylidene amide (PYA) ligands with different electronic and structural properties depending on the PYA position (o-, m-, and p-PYA). Structural investigation in solution revealed cis/trans isomeric ratios that correlate with the donor properties of the PYA ligand, with the highest cis ratios for the complex having the most donating o-PYA ligand and lowest ratios for that with the weakest donor p-PYA system. The catalytic activity of the cationic complexes [Pd(N^N′)Me(NCMe)]+ in alkene insertion and dimerization showed a strong correlation with the ligand setting. While complexes bearing more electron donating m- and o-PYA ligands produced butenes within 60 and 30 min, respectively, the p-PYA complex was much slower and only reached 50% conversion of ethylene within 2 h. Likewise, insertion of methyl acrylate as a polar monomer was more efficient with stronger donor PYA units, reaching a 32% ratio of methyl acrylate vs ethylene insertion. Mechanistic investigations about the ethylene insertion allowed detection, for the first time, by NMR spectroscopy both cis- and trans-Pd-ethyl intermediates and, furthermore, revealed a trans to cis isomerization of the Pd-ethyl resting state as the rate-limiting step for inducing ethylene conversion. These PYA palladium complexes induce rapid double-bond isomerization of terminal to internal alkenes through a chain-walking process, which prevents both polymerization and also the conversion of higher olefins, leading selectively to ethylene dimerization.
