, p. 2729 - 2733 (2007)
η1-Allyl and η3-allyl, ethyl, and hydrido ruthenium complexes of pentamethyl[60]fullerene, Ru(η5-C 60Me5)R(CO)2 (R = η1-allyl, Et, H) and Ru(η5-C60Me5)(η3- allyl)(CO) were synthesized by the reaction of a chlorido complex Ru(η5-C60Me5)Cl(CO)2 with an allyl and an ethyl Grignard reagent or lithium aluminum hydride. Conversion of the η1-allyl complex to the corresponding η3-allyl complex and the catalytic performance of the hydrido and the chlorido complexes in the isomerization reaction of 1-decene to internal decenes are described.

, p. 15 - 20 (1988)
The reagents prepared in situ in tetrahydrofuran (THF) by reaction of Cp2TiCl2 with isobutyl or t-butylmagnesium halides or with Grignard grade magnesium and 1,2-dibromomethane bring about isomerization of some 1-alkenes into trans-2-alkenes under mild conditions.

Satyanarayana, N.,Periasamy, M.
, p. 113 - 118 (1987)
The catalyst generated in situ using CoCl2/Ph3P/NaBH4 in 1/3/1 ratio in THF at -10 degC isomerizes 1-decene into predominantly cis-2-decene or trans-2-decene.Allyl benzene and safrole have been converted into the corresponding β-methylstyrenes.The catalyst also isomerizes cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene.

Richel, Aurore,Delfosse, Sébastien,Cremasco, Cédric,Delaude, Lionel,Demonceau, Albert,Noels, Alfred F.
, p. 6011 - 6015 (2003)
The catalytic activity of ruthenium-p-cymene complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands in atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) or polymerisation (ATRP) strongly depends on the substituents of the carbene ligand, thereby providing a nice illustration of the importance of organometallic engineering and ligand fine tuning in homogeneous catalysis.

Alkenes are used ubiquitously as starting materials and synthetic targets in all areas of chemistry. Controlling their geometry and position along a chain is vital to their reactivity and properties yet remains challenging. Alkene isomerization is an atom-economical process to synthesize targeted alkenes, and selectivity can be controlled using transition metal catalysts. The development of mild, selective isomerization reactivity has enabled efficient tandem catalytic systems for the remote functionalization of alkenes, a process in which a starting alkene is isomerized to a new position prior to the functionalization step. The key challenges in developing isomerization catalysts for remote functionalization applications are (i) a lack of modularity in the catalyst structure and (ii) the requirement of nonmodular and/or harsh additives during catalyst activation. We address both challenges with a modular (NHC)Ni(0)/silane catalytic system (NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene), demonstrating the use of triaryl silanes and readily accessible (NHC)Ni(0) complexes to form the proposed active (NHC)(silyl)Ni-H species in situ. We show that modification of the steric and electronic nature of the catalyst via modification of the ancillary ligand and silane partner, respectively, is easily achieved, creating a uniquely versatile catalytic system that is effective for the formation of internal alkenes with high yield and selectivity for the E-alkene. The use of silanes as mild activators enables isomerization of substrates with a variety of functional groups, including acid-labile groups. The broad substrate scope, enabled by catalyst design, makes this catalytic system a strong candidate for use in tandem catalytic applications. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a Ni-H insertion/elimination pathway.

Coordinating solvents are commonly employed as ancillary ligands to stabilize late transition metal complexes and are conventionally considered to have little effect on the reaction products. Our work identifies that the presence of ancillary ligand in Pd-diimine catalyzed polymerizations of α-olefins can drastically alter reactivity. The addition of different amounts of acetonitrile allows for switching between distinct reaction modes: isomerization–polymerization with high branching (0 equiv.), regular chain-walking polymerization (1 equiv.), and alkene isomerization with no polymerization (>20 equiv.). Optimization of the isomerization reaction mode led to a general set of conditions to switch a wide variety of diimine complexes into efficient alkene isomerization catalysts, with catalyst loading as low as 0.005 mol %.
Highly Z-Selective Double Bond Transposition in Simple Alkenes and Allylarenes through a Spin-Accelerated Allyl Mechanism

Double-bond transposition in alkenes (isomerization) offers opportunities for the synthesis of bioactive molecules, but requires high selectivity to avoid mixtures of products. Generation of Z-alkenes, which are present in many natural products and pharmaceuticals, is particularly challenging because it is usually less thermodynamically favorable than generation of the E isomers. We report a β-dialdiminate-supported, high-spin cobalt(I) complex that can convert terminal alkenes, including previously recalcitrant allylbenzenes, to Z-2-alkenes with unprecedentedly high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Deuterium labeling studies indicate that the catalyst operates through a π-allyl mechanism, which is different from the alkyl mechanism that is followed by other Z-selective catalysts. Computations indicate that the triplet cobalt(I) alkene complex undergoes a spin state change from the resting-state triplet to a singlet in the lowest-energy C-H activation transition state, which leads to the Z product. This suggests that this change in spin state enables the catalyst to differentiate the stereodefining barriers in this system, and more generally that spin-state changes may offer a route toward novel stereocontrol methods for first-row transition metals.
Selective Isomerization of Terminal Alkenes to (Z)-2-Alkenes Catalyzed by an Air-Stable Molybdenum(0) Complex

Positional and stereochemical selectivity in the isomerization of terminal alkenes to internal alkenes is observed using the cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 precatalyst. A p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) cocatalyst is essential for catalyst activity. Various functionalized terminal alkenes have been converted to the corresponding 2-alkenes, generally favoring the Z isomer with selectivity as high as 8:1 Z:E at high conversion. Interrogation of the catalyst initiation mechanism by 31P NMR reveals that cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 reacts with TsOH at elevated temperatures to yield a phosphine-ligated Mo hydride (MoH) species. Catalysis may proceed via 2,1-insertion of a terminal alkene into a MoH group and stereoselective β-hydride elimination to yield the (Z)-2-alkene.
Normal Alpha Olefin Synthesis Using Metathesis and Dehydroformylation
-
, (2018/05/24)
The present invention discloses processes for producing normal alpha olefins, such as 1-hexene, 1-octene, and 1-decene, in a multistep synthesis scheme. Generally, a first normal alpha olefin is subjected to an olefin metathesis step to form a linear internal olefin, which is then subjected to an isomerization-hydroformylation step to form a linear aldehyde, which is then subjected to a dehydroformylation step to form a second normal alpha olefin.
Careful investigation of the hydrosilylation of olefins at poly(ethylene glycol) chain ends and development of a new silyl hydride to avoid side reactions

, p. 527 - 536 (2018/01/27)
Hydrosilylation of olefin groups at poly(ethylene glycol) chain ends catalyzed by Karstedt catalyst often results in undesired side reactions such as olefin isomerization, hydrogenation, and dehydrosilylation. Since unwanted polymers obtained by side reactions deteriorate the quality of end-functional polymers, maximizing the hydrosilylation efficiency at polymer chain ends becomes crucial. After careful investigation of the factors that govern side reactions under various conditions, it was related that the short lifetime of the unstable Pt catalyst intermediate led to the formation of more side products under the inherently dilute conditions for polymers. Based on these results, two new chelating hydrosilylation reagents, tris(2-methoxyethoxy)silane (5) and 2,10-dimethyl-3,6,9-trioxa-2,10-disilaundecane (6), have been developed. It was demonstrated that the hydrosilylation efficiency at polymer chain ends was significantly increased by employing the internally coordinating hydrosilane 5. In addition, employment of the internally coordinating disilane species 6 in an addition polymerization with 1,5-hexadiene by hydrosilylation reaction yielded a polymer with high molecular weight (Mn = 9300 g/mol), which was significantly higher than that (Mn = 2600 g/mol) of the corresponding polymer obtained with non-chelating dihydrosilane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane.
