Ligand control of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is rapidly gaining importance as ligands can stabilize the MNPs and regulate their catalytic properties. Herein we report the first example of Pt NPs ligated by imidazolium-amidinate ligands that bind strongly through the amidinate anion to the platinum surface atoms. The binding was established by15N NMR spectroscopy, a precedent for nitrogen ligands on MNPs, and XPS. Both monodentate and bidentate coordination modes were found. DFT showed a high bonding energy of up to -48 kcal mol-1 for bidentate bonding to two adjacent metal atoms, which decreased to -28 ± 4 kcal mol-1 for monodentate bonding in the absence of impediments by other ligands. While the surface is densely covered with ligands, both IR and13C MAS NMR spectra proved the adsorption of CO on the surface and thus the availability of sites for catalysis. A particle size dependent Knight shift was observed in the13C MAS NMR spectra for the atoms that coordinate to the surface, but for small particles, ～1.2 nm, it almost vanished, as theory for MNPs predicts; this had not been experimentally verified before. The Pt NPs were found to be catalysts for the hydrogenation of ketones and a notable ligand effect was observed in the hydrogenation of electron-poor carbonyl groups. The catalytic activity is influenced by remote electron donor/acceptor groups introduced in the aryl-N-substituents of the amidinates; p-anisyl groups on the ligand gave catalysts several times faster the ligand containing p-chlorophenyl groups.

The heterogeneous selective hydrogenation of trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one to allylic alcohol, catalyzed by Ir/SiO2 stabilized with phosphines and modified by cinchona alkaloids, was described herein. Under the optimized conditions, the chemoselectivity to α,β-unsaturated alcohol was more than 99% with enantioselectivity up to 46%.

Here we disclose a general Co(II/III/IV) electrocatalytic platform for alkene functionalization. Driven by electricity, a set of the oxidative hydrofunctionalization reactions via hydrogen atom transfer were demonstrated without the need for stochiometric chemical oxidants. The scope of the reactions encompasses hydroalkoxylation, hydroacyloxylation, hydroarylation, semipinacol rearrangement, and deallylation. Mechanistic studies and stereochemical evidence support an ECEC process involving an electrochemically generated organocobalt(IV) intermediate. This work presents an example of reactivity space expansion in electrocatalysis in the VB12-system by going beyond the common oxidation states of Co(I/II/III).
Discovery and Redesign of a Family VIII Carboxylesterase with High (S)-Selectivity toward Chiral sec-Alcohols

Highly enantioselective lipase has been widely utilized in the preparation of versatile enantiopure chiral sec-alcohols through kinetic or dynamic kinetic resolution. Lipase is intrinsically (R)-selective, and it is difficult to obtain (S)-selective lipase. Recent crystal structures of a family VIII carboxylesterase have revealed that the spatial array of its catalytic triad is the mirror image of that of lipase but with a catalytic triad that is distinct from lipase. We, therefore, hypothesized that the family VIII carboxylesterase may exhibit (S)-enantioselectivity toward sec-alcohols similar to (S)-selective serine protease, whose catalytic triad is also spatially arrayed as its mirror image. In this study, a homologous enzyme (carboxylesterase from Proteobacteria bacterium SG_bin9, PBE) of a known family VIII carboxylesterase (pdb code: 4IVK) was prepared, which showed not only moderate (S)-selectivity toward sec-alcohols such as 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol but also (R)-selectivity toward particular sec-alcohols among the substrates explored. Furthermore, the (S)-selectivity of PBE has been significantly improved by rational redesign based on molecular modeling. Molecular modeling identified a binding pocket composed of Ser381, Ala383, and Arg408 for the methyl substituent of (R)-1-phenylethyl acetate and suggested that larger residues may increase the enantioselectivity by interfering with the binding of the slow-reacting enantiomer. As predicted, substituting Ser381with larger residues (Phe, Tyr, and Trp) significantly improved the (S)-selectivity of PBE toward all sec-alcohols explored, even the substrates toward which the wild-type PBE exhibits (R)-selectivity. For instance, the enantioselectivity toward 3-butyn-2-ol and 1-phenylethyl alcohol was improved from E = 5.5 and 36.1 to E = 2001 and 882, respectively, by single mutagenesis (S381F).

The use of manganese in homogeneous hydrogenation catalysis has been a recent focus in the pursuit of more environmentally benign base metal catalysts. It has great promise with its unique reactivity when coupled with metal-ligand cooperation of aminophosphine pincer ligands. Here, a manganese precatalyst Mn(P-N-P′)(CO)2, where P-N-P′ is the amido form of the ligand (S,S)-PPh2CHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PiPr2, has been synthesized and used for base-free ketone hydrogenation. This catalyst shows exceptionally high enantioselectivity and good activity, with tolerance for base-sensitive substrates. NMR structural analysis of intermediates formed by the reaction of the amido complex with hydrogen under pressure identified a reactive hydride with an NOE contact with the syn amine proton. Computational analysis of the catalytic cycle reveals that the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen across the MnN bond in the amido complex has a low barrier while the hydride transfer to the ketone is the turnover-limiting step. The pro-S transition state is found to be usually much lower in energy than the pro-R transition state depending on the ketone structure, consistent with the high (S) enantiomeric excess in the alcohol products. The energy to reach the transition state is higher for the distortion of the in-coming ketone than that of the hydride complex. In a one-to-one comparison with the similar iron catalyst FeH2(CO)(P-NH-P′), the manganese catalyst is found to have higher enantioselectivity, often over 95% ee, while the iron catalyst has higher activity and productivity. An explanation of these differences is provided on the basis of the more deformable iron hydride complex due to the smaller hydride ligands.

The employment of easily affordable ruthenium(II)-complexes as pre-catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds in deep eutectic media is described for the first time. The eutectic mixture tetrabutylammonium bromide/formic acid = 1/1 (TBABr/HCOOH = 1/1) acts both as reaction medium and hydrogen source. The addition of a base is required for the process to occur. An extensive optimization of the reaction conditions has been carried out, in terms of catalyst loading, type of complexes, H2-donors, reaction temperature and time. The combination of the dimeric complex [RuCl(p-cymene)-μ-Cl]2 (0.01–0.05 eq.) and the ligand dppf (1,1′-ferrocenediyl-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene) in 1/1 molar ratio has proven to be a suitable catalytic system for the reduction of several and diverse aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols under mild conditions (40–60 °C) in air, showing from moderate to excellent tolerability towards different functional groups (halogen, cyano, nitro, phenol). The reduction of imine compounds to their corresponding amine derivatives was also studied. In addition, the comparison between the results obtained in TBABr/HCOOH and in organic solvents suggests a non-innocent effect of the DES medium during the process.

Sheet silicates, also known as phyllosilicates, contain parallel sheets of tetrahedral silicate built up by [Si2O5]2- entities connected through intermediate metal-oxygen octahedral layers. The well-known minerals talc and pyrophyllite are belonging to this group based on magnesium and aluminium, respectively. Surprisingly, the ferric analogue rarely occurs in nature and is found in mixtures and conglomerates with other materials only. While partial incorporation of iron into pyrophyllites has been achieved, no synthetic protocol for purely iron-based pyrophyllite has been published yet. Here we report about the first artificial synthesis of ferripyrophyllite under exceptional mild conditions. A similar ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet morphology is obtained as in talc or pyrophyllite but with iron(iii) as a central metal. The high surface material exhibits a remarkably high thermostability. It shows some catalytic activity in ammonia synthesis and can serve as catalyst support material for noble metal nanoparticles.
Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol
Topf, Christoph,Vielhaber, Thomas
, (2021/07/10)
We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.
