Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids (CAs) to alcohols represents one of the most ideal reduction methods for utilizing abundant CAs as alternative carbon and energy sources. However, systematic studies on the effects of metal-to-ligand relationships on the catalytic activity of metal complex catalysts are scarce. We previously demonstrated a rational methodology for CA hydrogenation, in which CA-derived cationic metal carboxylate [(PP)M(OCOR)]+ (M = Ru and Re; P = one P coordination) served as the catalyst prototype for CA self-induced CA hydrogenation. Herein, we report systematic trial- and-error studies on how we could achieve higher catalytic activity by modifying the structure of bidentate diphosphine (PP) ligands of molecular Ru catalysts. Carbon chains connecting two P atoms as well as Ar groups substituted on the P atoms of PP ligands were intensively varied, and the induction of active Ru catalysts from precatalyst Ru(acac)3 was surveyed extensively. As a result, the activity and durability of the (PP)Ru catalyst substantially increased compared to those of other molecular Ru catalyst systems, including our original Ru catalysts. The results validate our approach for improving the catalyst performance, which would benefit further advancement of CA self-induced CA hydrogenation.

Reversible cleavage of C(sp3)-H bonds can enable racemization or epimerization, offering a valuable tool to edit the stereochemistry of organic compounds. While epimerization reactions operating via cleavage of acidic C(sp3)-H bonds, such as the Cα-H of carbonyl compounds, have been widely used in organic synthesis and enzyme-catalyzed biosynthesis, epimerization of tertiary carbons bearing a nonacidic C(sp3)-H bond is much more challenging with few practical methods available. Herein, we report the first synthetically useful protocol for the epimerization of tertiary carbons via reversible radical cleavage of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds with hypervalent iodine reagent benziodoxole azide and H2O under mild conditions. These reactions exhibit excellent reactivity and selectivity for unactivated 3° C-H bonds of various cycloalkanes and offer a powerful strategy for editing the stereochemical configurations of carbon scaffolds intractable to conventional methods. Mechanistic study suggests that the unique ability of N3? to serve as a catalytic H atom shuttle is critical to reversibly break and reform 3° C-H bonds with high efficiency and selectivity.
Self-immobilizing precatalysts: Norbornene-bridged zirconium ansa-metallocenes
Polo, Eleonora,Forlini, Fabrizio,Bertolasi, Valerio,Boccia, Antonella Caterina,Sacchi, Maria Carmela
experimental part, p. 1544 - 1556 (2009/07/30)
We report here the synthesis of new tethered biscyclopentadienyl and bisindenyl zirconocenes, bearing one unsaturation on the interannular bridge, and their use as self-immobilizing catalysts. They proved to be active catalysts towards ethylene polymerization in solution, with activities comparable to those displayed by commercial rac-Et-(Ind)2ZrCl2. When tested as self-polymerization catalysts under suitable experimental conditions, they gave colored precipitates that, once reactivated with MAO, were significantly active in ethylene polymerization, although lower than those of the corresponding catalytic systems in solution. The molecular weights of the produced polymers were similar to those obtained with the same catalysts in solution, but their distribution resulted to be broader, with values typical of heterogeneous catalytic systems. From 13C NMR studies we had the first spectroscopic evidence of the actual incorporation of a metallocene of this type into a polymeric chain.

, (2008/06/13)
Hydroformylation of alkenes to aldehydes in the presence of a rhodium complex catalyst is improved by the addition of a novel bidentate ligand of the formula STR1 wherein R1, R2, R1 ' and R2 ' are organic radicals selected from alicyclic, aliphatic and aromatic groups of which at least one is preferably substituted with at least one electronegative moiety and the methylene groups are present at the trans-2,3 positions on the norbornane moiety. The invention also provides a novel method for producing the bidentate ligand and novel intermediate phosphine oxide and phosphinous acid compounds.

, p. 3438 - 3446 (2007/10/02)
The hydroformylation of 1-alkenes was efficiently catalyzed by PtCl2-diphosphine-SnX2 systems whose diphosphines were 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane derivatives with rigid ring skeletons.The effects of the structure of diphosphines, the P/Pt atomic ratio, the sort of tin(II) halide or solvent, the reaction variables, and the structure of olefins on the relative rate and the product distribution were investigated.A higher reaction rate than when using HRh(CO)(PPh3)3, and a linearity of aldehydes up to 99percent, were attained.The coordination structure of the effective diphosphines as well as the reasons for the rate enhancement and for the excellent selectivity were discussed.
Chiral rhodium-diphosphine catalyst capable of catalytic reduction of a tetramisole precursor to give a significant excess of the desired S-(-)isomer, levamisole
-
, (2008/06/13)
A soluble, chiral, rhodium-containing catalyst which permits the catalytic reduction of prochiral 3-acyl-1-(2-alkoxyethyl)-4-phenyl-2-imidazolinones to chiral 3-acylimidazolidinones with a substantial excess of the desired S optical isomer. The 3-acylimidazolidinones may in turn be substantially converted to levamisole, and S isomer of tetramisole. The resolution of tetramisole to remove the R isomer is thus avoided.
