We describe a recyclable heterogeneous palladium nanocatalyst for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes. The catalyst was prepared through the decomposition of the organometallic precursor Pd2(dba)3 over a magnetic support, obtaining well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles that formed exclusively on the support surface, with average diameter of 3.5 ± 0.8 nm. The catalytic activity was investigated in the hydrogenation reactions of alkenes and alkynes, and the chemo- and stereoselectivity were evaluated in the hydrogenation of benzyl-propargylamines. The catalyst is highly selective in performing semi-hydrogenation reactions under mild conditions and short reaction times, with good overall yields. Furthermore, it can be easily recovered and recycled, with no leaching of palladium detected, and activities and selectivity retained over multiple reaction cycles. This journal is

The vapor-phase dehydration of 1,3-butanediol (1,3-BDO) to produce 1,3-butadiene (BD) was evaluated over yttrium zirconate, which was prepared through a hydrothermal aging process. 1,3-BDO was initially dehydrated to three unsaturated alcohols, namely 3-buten-2-ol, 3-buten-1-ol, and 2-buten-1-ol, followed by the further dehydration to BD. The catalytic activity of yttrium zirconate was greatly dependent on the calcination temperature. Also, the reaction temperature was one of the important factors to produce BD efficiently. The selectivity to BD was increased with increasing reaction temperature up to 375°C, while coke formation resulted in catalyst deactivation together with by-product formation at higher temperatures. Yttrium zirconate catalyst calcined at 900°C showed a high BD yield of 95% at 375°C and 10 hr on stream.

In this article, we investigated the I2-promoted cyclic dialkyl ether formation from 6-membered oxanickelacycles originally reported by Hillhouse. A detailed mechanistic investigation based on spectroscopic and crystallographic analysis revealed that a putative reductive elimination to forge C(sp3)-OC(sp3) using I2 might not be operative. We isolated a paramagnetic bimetallic NiIII intermediate featuring a unique Ni2(OR)2 (OR = alkoxide) diamond-like core complemented by a μ-iodo bridge between the two Ni centers, which remains stable at low temperatures, thus permitting its characterization by NMR, EPR, X-ray, and HRMS. At higher temperatures (>-10 °C), such bimetallic intermediate thermally decomposes to afford large amounts of elimination products together with iodoalkanols. Observation of the latter suggests that a C(sp3)-I bond reductive elimination occurs preferentially to any other challenging C-O bond reductive elimination. Formation of cyclized THF rings is then believed to occur through cyclization of an alcohol/alkoxide to the recently forged C(sp3)-I bond. The results of this article indicate that the use of F+ oxidants permits the challenging C(sp3)-OC(sp3) bond formation at a high-valent nickel center to proceed in good yields while minimizing deleterious elimination reactions. Preliminary investigations suggest the involvement of a high-valent bimetallic NiIII intermediate which rapidly extrudes the C-O bond product at remarkably low temperatures. The new set of conditions permitted the elusive synthesis of diethyl ether through reductive elimination, a remarkable feature currently beyond the scope of Ni.
