FT Raman - A valuable tool for surveying kinetics in RCM of functionalized dienes

In this article the suitability of FT Raman spectroscopy for monitoring kinetics of ring-closing metathesis promoted by the Grubbs' 1st generation precatalyst was demonstrated for the first time. Reactions at room temperature and under low catalyst loadings were carried out on a series of representative diene substrates. The time evolution of the characteristic Raman stretching vibrations unequivocally described the reaction progress allowing for precise calculation of the substrate conversion and of the yield in the expected cyclic product, based on the corresponding peak heights. The responsive Raman technique demonstrated clean RCM pathways for diethyl diallylmalonate and diallyl ether whereas a minor olefinic side-product was detected in the case of diallyl phthalate. The study provides essential underpinnings for future utilization of Raman spectroscopy, concurrently with NMR or supplementing it, for the evaluation of RCM reactions.

Supported Molybdenum Catalysts for the Deoxydehydration of 1,4-Anhydroerythritol into 2,5-Dihydrofuran

Efficient deoxygenation strategies are crucial for the valorization of renewable feedstocks. Deoxydehydration (DODH) enables the direct transformation of two adjacent hydroxyl groups into a double bond. Supported molybdenum-based catalysts were utilized for the first time in DODH. MoOx/TiO2 showed superior catalytic activity compared to common molybdenum salts. The catalyst efficiently converted 1,4-anhydroerythritol into 2,5-dihydrofuran in the presence of 3-octanol as reducing agent, showing high reproducibility and stability.

HETEROCYCLIZATION OF 1-ACETOXY-4-HALO-SUBSTITUTED 2-BUTENES IN THE PRESENCE OF ALKALI

The reaction of 1-acetoxy-4-halo-substituted 2-butenes with potassium hydroxide was studied.It was established that trans-1,4-dihaloacetates form α-oxides of 1,3-dienes, whereas the corresponding cis isomers form 2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives.It was observed that the acetyl group in these compounds facilitates, as compared with halovinylhydrins, the formation of the corresponding heterocycles under the conditions described.

Stepwise or Concerted Addition of 1,3-Butadiene to Oxygen Adsorbed on the Ag(110) Surface?

The interaction of 1,3-butadiene with atomically adsorbed oxygen on a Ag(110) surface is studied.Three different approaches of 1,3-butadiene to an oxygen atom that is adsorbed in the two-fold bridging site of the grooves on the Ag(110) surface are studied: a cheletropic 1,4-cycloaddition, an interaction with the terminal carbon, and an interaction with the internal carbon of the 1,3-butadiene.Extended Hueckel tight-binding calculations show that the interaction of one of the terminal carbons of 1,3-butadiene with the surface oxygen is favored.This intermediate shows a preference for a 1,4 ring closure reaction rather than a 1,2 ring closure reaction, leading to 2,5-dihydrofurane instead of vinyl epoxide.The interaction between the suggested intermediates and the Ag(110) surface as well as the bonding of different adsorbed products are analyzed and discussed in relation to the experimental results.

Microwave-Assisted Ring-Closing Metathesis Revisited. On the Question of the Nonthermal Microwave Effect

The ring-closing metathesis reactions (RCM) of six standard diene substrates leading to five-, six-, or seven-membered carbo- or heterocycles were investigated under controlled microwave irradiation. RCM protocols were performed with standard Grubbs type II and a cationic ruthenium allenylidene catalyst in neat and ionic liquid-doped methylene chloride under sealed vessel conditions. Very rapid conversions (15 s) were achieved utilizing 0.5 mol % Grubbs II catalyst under microwave conditions. Careful comparison studies indicate that the observed rate enhancements are not the result of a nonthermal microwave effect.

Bis(phenolato)molybdenum complexes as catalyst precursors for the deoxydehydration of biomass-derived polyols

Bio-based polyols can be converted to olefins and furan derivatives in one step by combined reduction and dehydration (deoxydehydration, DODH). A series of octahedral complexes of hexavalent molybdenum containing an (OSSO)-type bis(phenolate) ligand were prepared and structurally characterized. These complexes were screened as catalyst precursors for the deoxydehydration of anhydroerythritol using 3-octanol as reducing agent. Microwave heating allows a lower reaction temperature.

Ring-Closing Olefin Metathesis Catalyzed by Well-Defined Vanadium Alkylidene Complexes

Vanadium-based catalysts have shown activity and selectivity in ring-opening metathesis polymerization of strained cyclic olefins comparable to those of Ru, Mo, and W catalysts. However, the application of V alkylidenes in routine organic synthesis is limited. Here, we present the first example of ring-closing olefin metathesis catalyzed by well-defined V chloride alkylidene phosphine complexes. The developed catalysts exhibit tolerance to various functional groups, such as an ether, an ester, a tertiary amide, a tertiary amine, and a sulfonamide. The size and electron-donating properties of the imido group and the phosphine play a crucial role in the stability of active intermediates. Reactions with ethylene and olefins suggest that both β-hydride elimination of the metallacyclobutene and bimolecular decomposition are responsible for catalyst degradation.
