Activation of both sp3 and sp2 CH bonds is reported using an efficient iron(III) complex (1) of a ligand (N2,N6-bis(2,6- diisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide: L). The iron(III) complex showed catalytic activity of CC coupling reaction of oxygen containing heterocycles, e.g. tetrahydrofuran (THF), with various alkyl, allyl and aryl Grignard reagents under ambient reaction conditions. Complex 1 demonstrated excellent activity and reactions were completed within 30 min to 1 h. A high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1700 h-1 using a low catalyst loading of 0.02 mol% was obtained for the reaction. Interestingly, the catalyst was selective in activation of the CH bond adjacent to the oxygen in various oxygen containing heterocyclic molecules to yield 2-substitituted products.

Cationic lanthanide complexes of the type [Ln(CH3CN)9]3+[(AlCl4)3]3–·CH3CN (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, Yb, Y) served as effective catalysts for the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation/cyclization of unactivated alkenols to yield the cyclic ethers with Markovnikov regioselectivity under mild conditions. Novel cationic complexes, [AlCl(CH3CN)5]2+[(AlCl4)2]2–·CH3CN and [Nd(CH3CN)9]3+[(FeCl4)3]3–·CH3CN, were synthesized and evaluated for the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation/cyclization of unactivated alkenols for comparison. The active sequence of [Nd(CH3CN)9]3+[(FeCl4)3]3–·CH3CN 3CN)5]2+[(AlCl4)2]2–·CH3CN 3CN)9]3+[(AlCl4)3]3–·CH3CN observed indicated that both the cation and anion have great influence on the activity. Comparative study on the activity of AlCl3and its cationic complex [AlCl(CH3CN)5]2+[(AlCl4)2]2–·CH3CN revealed the formation of the cationic Al center enhanced the activity greatly. The1H NMR studies indicated the activation of hydroxyl and olefin by the cationic Ln3+center were involved in the reaction pathways.

Lanthanide triflates, Ln(OTf)3, serve as efficient catalysts for the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation (HO)/cyclization of primary/secondary and aliphatic/aromatic hydroxyalkenes in room temperature ionic liquids (RTlLs). Cyclizations are effective in the formation of five-and sixmembered oxygen heterocycles with Markovnikov-type selectivity. Reaction rates exhibit first-order dependence on [Ln3+] and [substrate].

The synthesis of highly acidic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted significant research interest in recent years. We report here the design of a strongly Lewis acidic MOF, ZrOTf-BTC, through two-step transformation of MOF-808 (Zr-BTC) secondary building units (SBUs). Zr-BTC was first treated with 1 M hydrochloric acid solution to afford ZrOH-BTC by replacing each bridging formate group with a pair of hydroxide and water groups. The resultant ZrOH-BTC was further treated with trimethylsilyl triflate (Me3SiOTf) to afford ZrOTf-BTC by taking advantage of the oxophilicity of the Me3Si group. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Zr-bound superoxide and fluorescence spectra of Zr-bound N-methylacridone provided a quantitative measurement of Lewis acidity of ZrOTf-BTC with an energy splitting (?E) of 0.99 eV between the ?x? and ?y? orbitals, which is competitive to the homogeneous benchmark Sc(OTf)3. ZrOTf-BTC was shown to be a highly active solid Lewis acid catalyst for a broad range of important organic transformations under mild conditions, including Diels-Alder reaction, epoxide ring-opening reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and alkene hydroalkoxylation reaction. The MOF catalyst outperformed Sc(OTf)3 in terms of both catalytic activity and catalyst lifetime. Moreover, we developed a ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 composite as an efficient solid Lewis acid catalyst for continuous flow catalysis. The Zr centers in ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 feature identical coordination environment to ZrOTf-BTC based on spectroscopic evidence. ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 displayed exceptionally high turnover numbers (TONs) of 1700 for Diels-Alder reaction, 2700 for epoxide ring-opening reaction, and 326 for Friedel-Crafts acylation under flow conditions. We have thus created strongly Lewis acidic sites in MOFs via triflation and constructed the MOF?SiO2 composite for continuous flow catalysis of important organic transformations.
Unique nanocages of 12CaO·7Al2O3 boost heterolytic hydrogen activation and selective hydrogenation of heteroarenes over ruthenium catalyst

The chemoselective hydrogenation of heteroarenes is one of the most important synthetic reactions for the production of key intermediates in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and various fine chemicals. The development of new heterogeneous catalysts for the environmentally benign synthesis of heterocycle hydrogenated products is a fundamental objective for chemists. Here, we report that 12CaO·7Al2O3 with a unique sub-nanocage structure loaded with Ru nanoparticles exhibits higher activity, chemoselectivity and sustainability for the hydrogenation of heteroarenes in a solvent-free system than traditional oxide-supported metal catalysts. Conversion of >99% and a selectivity close to 99% were achieved for the hydrogenation of quinoline under mild conditions. This catalyst was also successfully applied to the hydrogenation of a variety of N- and O-heteroarenes with high yields. The superior catalytic performance can be attributed to a cooperative effect between the hydrogen-storage ability and large amount of strong basic sites on the surface of the support, which promotes heterolytic H2 cleavage and prevents poisoning of the metal surface caused by the adsorption of heteroarenes.

The low-temperature oxidation of the five hexane isomers (n-hexane, 2-methyl-pentane, 3-methyl-pentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane) was studied in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at atmospheric pressure under stoichiometric conditions between 550 and 1000 K. The evolution of reactant and product mole fraction profiles were recorded as a function of the temperature using two analytical methods: gas chromatography and synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry (SVUV-PIMS). Experimental data obtained with both methods were in good agreement for the five fuels. These data were used to compare the reactivity and the nature of the reaction products and their distribution. At low temperature (below 800 K), n-hexane was the most reactive isomer. The two methyl-pentane isomers have about the same reactivity, which was lower than that of n-hexane. 2,2-Dimethylbutane was less reactive than the two methyl-pentane isomers, and 2,3-dimethylbutane was the least reactive isomer. These observations are in good agreement with research octane numbers given in the literature. Cyclic ethers with rings including 3, 4, 5, and 6 atoms have been identified and quantified for the five fuels. While the cyclic ether distribution was notably more detailed than in other literature of JSR studies of branched alkane oxidation, some oxiranes were missing among the cyclic ethers expected from methyl-pentanes. Using SVUV-PIMS, the formation of C 2-C3 monocarboxylic acids, ketohydroperoxides, and species with two carbonyl groups have also been observed, supporting their possible formation from branched reactants. This is in line with what was previously experimentally demonstrated from linear fuels. Possible structures and ways of decomposition of the most probable ketohydroperoxides were discussed. Above 800 K, all five isomers have about the same reactivity, with a larger formation from branched alkanes of some unsaturated species, such as allene and propyne, which are known to be soot precursors.

A nickel(II) complex (1) of N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6- pyridinedicarboxamido (L) ligand was examined for catalytic coupling of Grignard reagents with the C-H bond of oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds such as tetrahydrofuran and furan. The nickel( II) complex showed excellent activity in catalyzing C-H activation and further coupling with various Grignard reagents. The effective activation of the C-H bond proceeded under ambient reaction conditions with a short reaction time (1-2 h). The catalyst (1) displays high turnover frequency of 4,130 h-1with catalyst loading as low as 0.01 mol%. This catalytic route could prove to be an efficient mode of activation of sp3and sp2C-H bonds in various heterocycles for the preparation of synthetically and pharmaceutically relevant molecules.

Page/Page column 5-6, (2011/11/30)
The invention relates to a method for manufacture of hydrocarbon fuels and oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels such as alkyl substituted tetrahydrofurans such as 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, 5-methylfurfural and mixtures thereof. The method generally entails forming a mixture of reactants that includes carbonaceous material, water, a metal catalyst and an acid reacting that mixture in the presence of hydrogen. The reaction is performed at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce a furan type hydrocarbon fuel. The process may be adapted to provide continuous manufacture of hydrocarbon fuels such as a furan type fuel.
Efficient intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenols mediated by recyclable lanthanide lriflate ionic liquids: Scope and mechanism

Lanthanide triflate complexes of the type [Ln(OTf)3] (Ln = La, Sm, Nd, Yb, Lu) serve as effective, recyclable catalysts for the rapid intramolecular hydroalkoxylation (HO)/cyclization of primary/secondary and aliphatic/aromatic hydroxyalkenes in imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) to yield the corresponding furan, pyran, spirobicyclic furan, spirobicyclic furan/pyran, benzofuran, and isochroman derivatives. Products are straightforwardly isolated from the catalytic solution, conversions exhibit Markovnikov regioselectivity, and turnover frequencies are as high as 47 h -1 at 120°C. The ring-size rate dependence of the primary alkenol cyclizations is 5>6, consistent with a sterically controlled transition state. The hydroalkoxylation/cyclization rates of terminal alkenols are slightly more rapid than those of internal alkenols, which suggests modest steric demands in the cyclic transition state. Cyclization rates of aryl-functionalized hydroxyalkenes are more rapid than those of the linear alkenols, whereas five- and five/six-membered spirobicyclic skeletons are also regioselectively closed. In cyclization of primary, sterically encumbered alkenols, turnoverfrequency dependence on metal-ionic radius decreases by approximately 80fold on going from La3+ (1.160 A) to Lu3+ (0.977 A), presumably reflecting steric impediments along the reaction coordinate. The overall rate law for alkenol hydroalkoxylation/cyclization is v≈[catalys] 1[alkenol]1. An observed ROH/ROD kinetic isotope effect of 2.48 (9) is suggestive of a catalytic pathway that involves kinetically significant intramolecular proton transfer. The present activation parameters-enthalpy (ΔH≠) = 18.2 (9) Kcal mol-1, entropy (ΔS≠) = -17.0 (1.4) eu, and energy (E,) = 18.2 (8) kcal mol-1-suggest a highly organized transition state. Proton scavenging and coordinative probing results suggest that the lanthanide inflates are not simply precursors of free triflic acid. Based on the kinetic and mechanistic evidence, the proposed catalytic pathway invokes hydroxyl and olefin activation by the electron-deficient Ln3+ center, and intramolecular H+ transfer, followed by alkoxide nucleophilic attack with ring closure.
