Reduction of Polycyclic Arenes by BH-Boranes, II Borane Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Naphthalenes to Tetralins
Yalpani, Mohamed,Lunow, Thomas,Koester, Roland
, p. 687 - 694 (2007/10/02)
Tetrapropyldiborane(6) (TPDB) and triethylborane (TEB) catalyze the regioselective and partial hydrogenation of naphthalene (N) and a number of substituted naphthalenes at 170 deg C to 200 deg C and hydrogen pressures of 25-100 bar.Tetralin (T) is formed quantitatively.Naphthalene derivatives are mainly hydrogenated in the least substituted ring.In the case of alkyl substituents, Lewis acid catalyzed migration and, to a lesser extent C-C bond rupture, lower the yield of the main tetralin derivative.Chlorinated naphthalenes and at the O-atom derivatized naphthols undergo also partial loss of the chloro or oxygen functional groups.The i nitially added borane acts only as a precatalyst and its slowly converted to catalytically active polyboranes of as yet unknown structures.Keywords: Hydroboranes/ Hydrogenation/ Naphthalenes/ Tetralins
