Chemo- And regioselective hydroformylation of alkenes with CO2/H2over a bifunctional catalyst

As is well known, CO2 is an attractive renewable C1 resource and H2 is a cheap and clean reductant. Combining CO2 and H2 to prepare building blocks for high-value-added products is an attractive yet challenging topic in green chemistry. A general and selective rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes using CO2/H2 as a syngas surrogate is described here. With this protocol, the desired aldehydes can be obtained in up to 97% yield with 93/7 regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions (25 bar and 80 °C). The key to success is the use of a bifunctional Rh/PTA catalyst (PTA: 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), which facilitates both CO2 hydrogenation and hydroformylation. Notably, monodentate PTA exhibited better activity and regioselectivity than common bidentate ligands, which might be ascribed to its built-in basic site and tris-chelated mode. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation proceeds through cascade steps, involving free HCOOH production through CO2 hydrogenation, fast release of CO, and rhodium-catalyzed conventional hydroformylation. Moreover, the unconventional hydroformylation pathway, in which HCOOAc acts as a direct C1 source, has also been proved to be feasible with superior regioselectivity to that of the CO pathway.

Efficient water-soluble catalytic system RhI-CAP for biphasic hydroformylation of olefins

Rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of styrene and aliphatic olefins under biphasic conditions in the presence of watersoluble 1,4,7-triaza-9-phosphatricyclo[5.3.2.14,9]tridecane (CAP) chemoselectively affords aldehydes. Multiple catalyst reuse without loss in performance is demonstrated.

Synthesis of meta-substituted monodentate phosphinite ligands and implication in hydroformylation ?

Abstract: Synthesis of meta-substituted phosphinite ligands 3,3′-(methoxyphosphanediyl)bis(N,N- diethylaniline) (4a) and methoxybis(3-methoxyphenyl)phosphane (4b), in high yields, has been demonstrated. Typical phosphorus chemical shift between 110–120 ppm, appearance of methoxy protons and corresponding carbon, as well as ESI-MS spectra unambiguously confirmed the existence of phosphinite ligands 4a and 4b. To demonstrate the synthetic usefulness of 4a and 4b, these ligands were tested in the rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-octene. The diethylamine substituted ligand 4a was found to be highly active, whereas 4b was less reactive but revealed slightly better regioselectivity of 62% under optimized conditions. Additionally, 4a and 4b were found to catalyze the hydroformylation of styrene, 1-undecenol and 1,1-disubstituted functional olefin, methyl methacrylate. Both the ligands displayed excellent conversion of styrene, and 4b revealed an excellent branch selectivity of 75%. Although 1-undecenol proved to be amenable to hydroformylation (85–90% conversion to aldehyde), both the ligands failed to discriminate between the linear and branched products. Substrate methyl methacrylate proved to be highly challenging and reduced conversion (between 33–42%) was observed under optimized conditions. Ligand 4a was found to be highly selective towards linear aldehyde (81% linear selectivity). Graphical Abstract: Synopsis Two step synthetic protocol to access meta-substituted monodentate phosphinite ligands 3,3′-(methoxyphosphanediyl)bis(N,N-diethylaniline) (4a) and methoxybis(3-methoxyphenyl)phosphane (4b) has been developed and the ligands have been fully characterized. Apart from catalyzing the hydroformylation of benchmark substrates 1-octene and styrene, 4a and 4b were found to catalyze the hydroformylation of 1-undecenol, a functional olefin and a highly challenging 1,1-disubstituted functional olefin methyl methacrylate.

Methylformate as replacement of syngas in one-pot catalytic synthesis of amines from olefins

A new general approach for the one-pot hydroaminomethylation of olefins using methylformate as formylating agent instead of synthesis gas (syngas) has been proposed. Herein we report that a Ru-Rh catalytic system demonstrates high activity in a tandem conversion of a series of n-alkenes into amines using methylformate with yields 58-92% (6 h). The selectivity for the normal amine reached 96% with catalysis by the Ru carbonyl complex Ru3(CO) 12, with an overall yield of 55% with respect to amine in this instance. The addition of the Rh complex to Ru catalytic system, sharply increased the hydroaminomethylation rate of both the terminal and internal alkenes and increased the yield of amines to 82-93% (6-12 h).

Hydroformylation of olefins catalyzed by rhodium complexes with phosphinitecalix[4]arenes

Hydroformylation of alkenes with various carbon chain lengths and arylalkenes in the presence of the catalytic system consisting of Rh(acac)(CO)2 and phosphinitecalix[4]arenes was studied. The influence of the P/Rh and substrate/catalyst ratios, temperature, and pressure on the process and the product composition was examined.

Hydroformylation in perfluorinated solvents; improved selectivity, catalyst retention and product separation

The hydroformylation of linear terminal alkenes using rhodium based catalysts under fluorous biphasic conditions in the presence and absence of toluene is reported. Using fluorinated ponytails to modify triarylphosphites and triarylphosphines, good selectivities and reactivities can be obtained, along with good retention of the catalyst and ligand within the fluorous phase. Using P(O-4-C6H4C6F13)3 (P/Rh=3:1) as the ligand in toluene/perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane, good results are obtained at 60°C, but decomposition of the catalyst and/or ligand occurs on increasing the temperature. More impressive results are obtained by omitting the toluene, with higher rates, better l/b ratios, and better retention of the catalyst and the phosphite within the perfluorocarbon solvent. Competing isomerisation restricts linear aldehyde selectivities to 6H4C6F13)3 is used as the ligand in the absence of toluene, even more impressive results can be obtained, with linear aldehyde selectivities up to 80.9%, high rates, and the retention of up to 99.95% of the rhodium and up to 96.7% of the phosphine within the fluorous phase. These results are compared with those of commercial systems for propene hydroformylation and with those previously reported in the literature for hydroformylation under fluorous biphasic conditions. Phase behaviour studies show that 1-octene is completely miscible with the fluorous solvent under the conditions used for the hydroformylation experiments, but that the product nonanal, phase separates.

Selective homologation of ketones and aldehydes with diazoalkanes promoted by organoaluminum reagents

Organoaluminum-promoted single homologation or ring expansion of ketones and aldehydes with diazoalkanes has been described, and among various organoaluminium reagents, exceptionally bulky methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide) (MAD) is found to be highly effective for the selective homologation of various ketones and aldehydes.
