Optimization and sustainability assessment of a continuous flow Ru-catalyzed ester hydrogenation for an important precursor of a β2-adrenergic receptor agonist

The development of a ruthenium-catalyzed continuous flow ester hydrogenation using hydrogen (H2) gas is reported. The reaction was utilized for the reduction of an important precursor in the synthesis of abediterol, a β2-adrenoceptor agonist that has undergone phase IIa clinical trials for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. The reaction was investigated within a batch autoclave by using a design of experiments (DoE) approach to identify important parameter effects. The optimized flow process was successfully operated over 6 h with inline benchtop19F NMR spectroscopy for reaction monitoring. The protocol is shown to be high yielding (98% yield, 3.7 g h?1) with very low catalyst loading (0.065 mol%). The environmental impact of the Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation was assessed and compared to an existing stoichiometric lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) reduction and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) reduction. The process mass intensity (PMI) for the Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation (14) compared favorably to a LAH reduction (52) and NaBH4reduction (133).

CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO METHANOL

The present disclosure relates to a new catalytic process for the production of methanol from carbon dioxide, comprising: (1) the conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to formic acid or formate salts; (2) converting the formic acid or formate salts to diformate esters of diols; (3) hydrogenating the diformate esters to methanol and diols. The diols produced from the hydrogenation reaction can be recovered and re-used to prepare the diformate esters.

Catalytic hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates: A practical approach from CO2 and epoxides to methanol and diols

As an economical, safe and renewable carbon resource, CO2 turns out to be an attractive C1 building block for making organic chemicals, materials, and carbohydrates.[1] From the viewpoint of synthetic chemistry,[2] the utilization of CO2 as a feedstock for the production of industrial products may be an option for the recycling of carbon.[3] On the other hand, the transformation of chemically stable CO2 represents a grand challenge in exploring new concepts and opportunities for the academic and industrial development of catalytic processes.[4] The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to produce liquid fuels such as formic acid (HCO 2H)[5] or methanol[6] is a promising solution to emerging global energy problems. Methanol, in particular, is not only one of the most versatile and popular chemical commodities in the world, with an estimated global demand of around 48 million metric tons in 2010, but is also considered as the key to weaning the world off oil in the future.[6e, f] Although the production of methanol has already been industrialized by the hydrogenation of CO with a copper/zinc-based heterogeneous catalyst at high temperatures (250-300°C) and high pressures (50-100 atm),[6e, 7] the development of a practical catalytic system for the hydrogenation of CO2 into methanol still remains a challenge, as high activation energy barriers have to be overcome for the cleavage of the C=O bonds of CO2, albeit with favorable thermodynamics.[8] Heterogeneous catalysis for the hydrogenation of CO 2 into CH3OH has been extensively investigated, and Cu/Zn-based multi-component catalyst was found to be highly selective with a long life, but under relatively harsh reaction conditions (250 °C, 50 atm).[3b, 6d] Therefore, the production of methanol from CO2 by direct hydrogenation under mild conditions is still a great challenge for both academia and industry.
