The absolute configuration of the resolved axially chiral pyridine-N-oxide derivative, (±)-trans-2,6-di-ortho-tolyl-3,4,5-trimethylpyridine-N-oxide, has been determined by VCD and ECD analyses supported by TD-DFT calculations carried out at different levels of theory. DFT calculations confirmed that in spite of the two biaryl axes, the compound is conformationally less flexible and the major conformer is stabilized by two weak hydrogen bonds formed between the hydrogen of the methyl group of the tolyl moieties and the nitroxide oxygen. The experimental VCD spectra of this compound and the previously studied (±)-2,6-di-sec-butyl-4-methylpyridine-N-oxide with two stereogenic centers were compared in the frequency range 1200-1300 cm-1. A (+,-,+)/(-,+,-) pattern of bands was observed in both cases. By replacing the sec-butyl moieties with tolyl ones, the VCD peaks shifted toward higher frequencies and the intensities were increased.

Using solid-state molecular organometallic (SMOM) techniques, in particular solid/gas single-crystal to single-crystal reactivity, a series of σ-alkane complexes of the general formula [Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)(ηn:ηm-alkane)][BArF4] have been prepared (alkane = propane, 2-methylbutane, hexane, 3-methylpentane; ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3). These new complexes have been characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, solid-state NMR spectroscopy and DFT computational techniques and present a variety of Rh(I)···H-C binding motifs at the metal coordination site: 1,2-η2:η2 (2-methylbutane), 1,3-η2:η2 (propane), 2,4-η2:η2 (hexane), and 1,4-η1:η2 (3-methylpentane). For the linear alkanes propane and hexane, some additional Rh(I)···H-C interactions with the geminal C-H bonds are also evident. The stability of these complexes with respect to alkane loss in the solid state varies with the identity of the alkane: from propane that decomposes rapidly at 295 K to 2-methylbutane that is stable and instead undergoes an acceptorless dehydrogenation to form a bound alkene complex. In each case the alkane sits in a binding pocket defined by the {Rh(Cy2PCH2CH2PCy2)}+ fragment and the surrounding array of [BArF4]- anions. For the propane complex, a small alkane binding energy, driven in part by a lack of stabilizing short contacts with the surrounding anions, correlates with the fleeting stability of this species. 2-Methylbutane forms more short contacts within the binding pocket, and as a result the complex is considerably more stable. However, the complex of the larger 3-methylpentane ligand shows lower stability. Empirically, there therefore appears to be an optimal fit between the size and shape of the alkane and overall stability. Such observations are related to guest/host interactions in solution supramolecular chemistry and the holistic role of 1°, 2°, and 3° environments in metalloenzymes.

In continuation to our previous findings on amidoximes' antiparasitic activities, a new series of 23 original derivatives was designed and obtained by convergent synthesis. First, new terminal alkenes were synthesized by cross-coupling reaction. Then, cyclization was performed between terminal alkenes and β-ketosulfones using manganese(III) acetate reactivity. Twenty-three amidoximes were tested for their in vitro activity against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes and their toxicity on murine macrophages. Seven of the tested compounds exhibited an antileishmanial activity at lower than 10 μM with moderate to low toxicity. Six of these molecules showed activity at lower than 10 μM against promastigotes and toxicity at higher than 50 μM were selected and evaluated for their activity against intracellular Leishmania amazonensis amastigotes. Modulating chemical substituents in position 2 of dihydrofuran highly influenced their antileishmanial activities. The introduction of a methyl or trifluoromethyl group on the benzene ring of the benzyl group had a positive influence on activity without significantly increasing toxicity (52, 59, 60).
DIARYL AMINE ANTIOXIDANTS PREPARED FROM BRANCHED OLEFINS

Paragraph 0058; 0059, (2017/02/09)
Diaryl amines are selectively alkylated by reaction with branched olefins, which olefins are capable of forming tertiary carbonium ions and can be conveniently prepared from readily available branched alcohols. The diaryl amine products are effective antioxidants and often comprise a high amount of di-alkylated diaryl amines and a low amount of tri- and tetra-alkylated diaryl amines.

Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the oligomerization of ethylene with a liquid heptane solvent over bifunctional Ni catalysts in a continuous flow reactor. We have prepared an Al-containing KIT-6 silica that was used as a support after calcination in the temperature range of 300–900 °C. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts had uniform mesopores with diameters in the range of 5.4–6.3 nm, excepting Ni/Al-KIT-6 (900). The calcination temperature of Al-KIT-6 support changed the surface acidity as well as the interaction of Ni2+ and acid sites for the Ni catalysts, as determined by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, temperature-programmed reduction, infrared spectroscopy after the adsorption of pyridine, solid-state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray adsorption spectroscopy. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest ethylene conversion because of the increased intimate contact between Ni2+ and acid sites. The strong interaction of Ni2+ species and the support is not effective in increasing active sites for ethylene conversion. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts produced internal linear C4 and C6 olefins with high selectivity. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) had 2.2–6.1 times lower selectivities toward 2-ethyl-1-butene than other catalysts at similar ethylene conversions. The reaction product mixture showed that the Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts shifted the product distribution towards acid-catalyzed oligomerization/cracking/realkylation products (i.e. C3, C7, C7, and C8+ olefins) as the concentration of Br?nsted acid sites increased. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest yield of C4 and C6 olefins (78.3%). Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

We describe the synthesis of a range of novel iminobisphosphine ligands based on a sulfonamido moiety [R1SO2N=P(R2)2-P(R3)2]. These molecules rearrange in the presence of nickel by metal-induced breakage of the P-P bond to yield symmetrical and nonsymmetrical diphosphinoamine nickel complexes of general formula Ni{[P(R2)2]N(SO2R1)P(R3)2}Br2. The complexes can be isolated and are very stable. Upon activation by MAO, these complexes oligomerise ethylene to small chain oligomers (mainly C4-C8) with high productivity. Surprisingly fast codimerisation reactions of ethylene with butenes is observed, leading to a high content of branched C6 products.
CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR THE CO-DIMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE AND PROPYLENE
-
Paragraph 0082, (2015/03/28)
Disclosed are novel catalyst solutions comprising an organic complex of nickel, an alkyl aluminum compound, a solvent, and a phosphine compound, that are useful for the preparation of butenes, pentenes and hexenes by the co-dimerization or cross-dimerization of ethylene and propylene. Also disclosed are processes for the dimerization of ethylene and propylene that utilize these catalyst solutions. The catalyst systems described herein demonstrate that, depending on the choice of phosphine compound used with the catalytically active nickel, it is indeed possible to lower the concentration of hexene olefins relative to butenes and pentenes, even in the presence of excess propylene. The selectivity to the linear or branched pentene product can also be controlled by the selection of the phosphine compound. The catalyst solutions may be used with mixtures of olefins.

The complexes with basic substituents, activated by methylaluminoxane, oligomerise ethylene to short oligomers (C4-C8) with high activity. Fast codimerisation is observed, leading to highly branched C6 product distribution.

Mechanism of ethylene dimerization catalyzed by Ti(OR′) 4/AlR3

Ti-alkoxide-based catalysts in combination with AlEt3 are responsible for the production of a significant proportion of the world's 1-butene supply, via the dimerization of ethylene. A metallacycle mechanism is normally presumed to operate with this system. However, despite its importance, the catalyst is not mechanistically well understood. The mechanism of dimerization has been studied through a series of C2H 4/C2D4 co-oligomerization experiments and comparison of theoretical and experimental mass spectra. The results obtained show that the textbook metallacycle mechanism is most likely not responsible for dimerization with this catalyst. Instead, an excellent fit between the theoretical and experimental mass spectra is obtained when a conventional Cossee-type mechanism (insertion/β-hydride elimination) is modeled. The formation of both the primary product 1-butene and the secondary reaction products (ethylene/1-butene co-dimers) is best explained by this mechanism.
