Two classes of heterogenized biomimetic catalysts were prepared and characterized for hydrocarbon oxidations: (1) by covalent anchorage of the three Mn(iii) meso-tetrakis(2-, 3-, or 4-pyridyl)porphyrin isomers by in situ alkylation with chloropropyl-functionalized silica gel (Sil-Cl) to yield Sil-Cl/MnPY (Y = 1, 2, 3) materials, and (2) by electrostatic immobilization of the three Mn(iii) meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-2, 3, or 4-yl)porphyrin isomers (MnPY, Y = 4, 5, 6) on non-modified silica gel (SiO2) to yield SiO2/MnPY (Y = 4, 5, 6) materials. Silica gel used was of column chromatography grade and Mn porphyrin loadings were deliberately kept at a low level (0.3% w/w). These resulting materials were explored as catalysts for iodosylbenzene (PhIO) oxidation of cyclohexane, n-heptane, and adamantane to yield the corresponding alcohols and ketones; the oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone was also investigated. The heterogenized catalysts exhibited higher efficiency and selectivity than the corresponding Mn porphyrins under homogeneous conditions. Recycling studies were consistent with low leaching/destruction of the supported Mn porphyrins. The Sil-Cl/MnPY catalysts were more efficient and more selective than SiO2/MnPY ones; alcohol selectivity may be associated with hydrophobic silica surface modification reminiscent of biological cytochrome P450 oxidations. The use of widespread, column chromatography, amorphous silica yielded Sil-Cl/MnPY or SiO2/MnPY catalysts considerably more efficient than the corresponding, previously reported materials with mesoporous Santa Barbara Amorphous No 15 (SBA-15) silica. Among the materials studied, in situ derivatization of Mn(iii) 2-N-pyridylporphyrin by covalent immobilization on Sil-Cl to yield Sil-Cl/MnP1 showed the best catalytic performance with high stability against oxidative destruction and reusability/recyclability.

The synthesis of a new bidentate (NN)–Mn(I) complex is reported and its catalytic activity towards the reduction of ketones and nitriles is studied. On comparing the reactivity of various other Mn(I) complexes supported by benzimidazole ligand, it was observed that the Mn(I) complexes bearing 6-methylpyridine and benzimidazole fragments exhibited the highest catalytic activity towards monohydrosilylation of ketones and dihydrosilylation of nitriles. Using this protocol, a wide range of ketones were selectively reduced to the corresponding silyl ethers. In case of unsaturated ketones, the chemoselective reduction of carbonyl group over olefinic bonds was observed. Additionally, selective dihydrosilylation of several nitriles were also achieved using this complex. Mechanistic investigations with radical scavengers suggested the involvement of radical species during the catalytic reaction. Stoichiometric reaction of the Mn(I) complex with phenylsilane revealed the formation of a new Mn(I) complex.

Reductive etherification is a promising catalytic chemistry for coupling biomass derived alcohols and ketones to produce branched ethers that can be used as high cetane, low sooting blendstocks for diesel fuel applications. Previous catalyst materials examined for reductive etherification have typically been limited to binary physical mixtures of metal hydrogenation and acidic acetalization catalysts with limited thermal stability and industrial applicability. To address this, we developed a single-phase catalyst comprising Pd supported on acidic metal oxides with high catalytic activity, product selectivity, and regeneration stability. Batch reactor screening identified niobium phosphate (NbOPO4) as the most active acidic metal oxide catalyst support, which was downselected to synthesize single-phase catalysts by Pd loading. Several branched ethers with favourable fuel properties were synthesized to demonstrate broad catalyst applicability. The fresh Pd/NbOPO4 catalyst displayed a surface area of 130 m2 g-1, high acidity of 324 μmol g-1 and Pd dispersion of 7.8percent. The use of acidic metal oxide support allowed for elevated reaction temperatures with a mass selectivity to 4-butoxyheptane of 81percent at 190 °C and an apparent activation energy of 40 kJ mol-1. Continuous flow reactor testing demonstrated steady catalyst deactivation due to coke formation of 10 wtpercent after 117 h of time-on-stream. Four simulated catalyst regeneration cycles led to small changes in surface area and total acidity; however, a decrease in Pd site density from 18 to 8 μmol g-1, in combination with an apparent Pd nanoparticle size effect, caused an increase in the production rate of 4-butoxyheptane from 138 to 190 μmol gcat-1 min-1 with the regenerated catalyst. Lastly, technoeconomic analysis showed that higher H2 equivalents and lower weight hourly space velocity values can reduce ether catalytic production costs.
