Ruthenium-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins

State-of-the-art catalyst systems for hydroxy- and alkoxycarbonylations of olefins make use of palladium complexes. In this work, we report a complementary ruthenium-catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of olefins applying an inexpensive Ru-precursor (Ru3(CO)12) and PCy3as a ligand. Crucial for the success of this transformation is the use of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the solvent in the presence of an acid co-catalyst (PTSA). Overall, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic olefins including the industrially relevant substrate di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various carboxylic acids from unfunctionalized olefins.

Manufacture of C13 higher fatty acids from their esters by carbonylation of dodecene-1 in ionic liquid medium

The effect of catalyst nature, temperature, acidity, promoters, and feedstock composition on dodecene-1 carbonylation in the presence of Pd compounds in an ionic liquid medium yielding higher fatty acid and their esters was studied. Palladium salts without phosphine ligands show high activity in tetrabutylammonium bromide. In systems of this kind, the catalyst is suspended in the reaction mass in the form of Pd particles with a size of 4-10 nm. It was shown that the catalytic system can be repeatedly used without loss of activity. It is acceptable to use synthesis gas instead of bare carbon monoxide with the selectivity for tride-canoic acid increasing.

3-Nonyltetrahydrofuran from the Reduction of Alkenes with Lithium and Ethanol in Ammonia

3-Nonylidenetetrahydrofuran is readily reduced with lithium and ethanol in ammonia to yield mainly 3-nonyltetrahydrofuran together with 3-methyldodecan-1-ol.The reductions of a mixture of 4-nonyl-4,5-dihydrofuran and 3-nonyl-2,5-dihydrofuran and of a mixture of 3-nonyl-4,5-dihydrofuran, 3-nonyl-2,5-dihydrofuran and 3-nonylidenetetrahydrofuran are also reported.
