Synthesis and structural elucidation of (pyridyl)imine Fe(II) complexes and their applications as catalysts in transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Reactions of (pyridyl)imine ligands: 2,6-diisopropyl-N-[(pyridine-2-yl)methylene]aniline (L1), 2,6-diisopropyl-N-[(pyridine-2-yl)ethylidene]aniline (L2), 2,6-dimethyl-N-[(pyridine-2-yl)methylene]aniline (L3), 2,6-dimethyl-N-[(pyridine-2-yl)ethylidene]aniline (L4) and N-[(pyridine-2-yl)methylene]aniline (L5) with FeCl2 salt afforded the corresponding paramagnetic Fe(II) complexes [Fe(L1)2Cl][FeCl4] (Fe1), [Fe(L2)2Cl][FeCl4] (Fe2), [Fe(L3)2Cl][FeCl4] (Fe3), [Fe(L4)2Cl][FeCl4], (Fe4), [Fe(L5)2Cl2] (Fe5) in good yields. On the other hand, reactions of L1 with FeCl2 in the presence of NaPF6 afforded complex [Fe(L1)2Cl][PF6] (Fe6) in moderate yields. Molecular structures of complexes Fe1 and Fe2 reveal the formation of cationic species containing two N^N bidentate ligands and one chlorido co-ligand to give five-coordinate geometry with [FeCl4]? as counter-anion. On the other hand, complex Fe5, is an octahedral neutral species containing two bidentate L5 and two chlorido ligands. All the complexes (Fe1–Fe6) formed active catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones affording average yields of about 85%. The ligand architecture, reaction conditions and nature of substrate influenced the catalytic activities of the complexes. Mercury and subs-stoichiometric poisoning tests pointed to the existence of both Fe(0) nanoparticles and homogeneous Fe(II) species as the active intermediates.

Producing cyclic fuels from conjugated diene

A method for making a fuel includes reacting a conjugated diene or a mixture of conjugated dienes with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a low valent iron catalyst stabilized with a pyridineimine ligand, an iron precatalyst coordinated to the pyridineimine ligand that is activated with a reducing agent, a low oxidation state Fe complex stabilized with a pyridineimine ligand and a coordinating ligand, and combinations thereof, thereby forming a substituted cyclooctadiene. The substituted cyclooctadiene is then hydrogenated, thereby forming cyclooctane fuel.

Highly active iminopyridyl iron-based catalysts for the polymerization of isoprene

A series of iminopyridyl-based ligands, 6-[(Ar)N=C(R)]-2-C6H5N [(Ar = 2,6-Me2-C6H3, R = Me (L1); Ar = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3, R = Me (L2); Ar = 2,6-Me2-C6H3, R = H (

Synthesis and X-ray Crystal Structures of Zinc Complexes Supported by Chelating Ligands: Various Reactions of α-Iminopyridines with ZnEt2

α-Iminopyridine (α-IP) is an important redox-noninnocent ligand. The substituents on the imino function of α-IPs have important impact on the reaction selectivity with diethylzinc. For the α-IPs with a hydrogen substituent on the imino carbon, reduction o

First-Row Transition Metal and Lithium Pyridine-ene-amide Complexes Exhibiting N- and C-Isomers and Ligand-Based Activation of Benzylic C-H Bonds

Ene-amines Z-3-(2-pyridyl)-1-aza(2,6-iPr2-Ph)propene, (pynac)H, and 2-(2-pyridyl)-1-aza(2,6-R,R′-Ph)propene, (pyEA-ArRR′)H, were synthesized by condensation procedures; corresponding lithium or potassium ene-amides were prepared via standard deprotonation protocols. Addition of 2 equiv of (pynac)H to {(Me3Si)2N}2Fe(THF) or 2 Li(pynac) to FeBr2(THF)2 afforded (pynac)2Fe (1), while treatment of CrCl2(THF)2, MnCl2, FeBr2(THF)2, and CoCl2py4 with 2 equiv of (pyEA-AriPr2)K afforded pseudotetrahedral (pyEA-AriPr2)2M (2-M, M = Cr, Mn, Fe) and (pyEA-AriPr2)2Co-py (2-Co-py). Diamagnetic (κ-C,N-pyEA-AriPr2)3Co (3) was prepared in low yield (～7%) from CoCl2, and its Co-C(sp3) linkages are unusually low in field strength. Reactivity studies yielded little clean reactivity, but thermolysis of 2-Co-py afforded the bis-indolamide derivative {κ-N,N-N(C6H3(2-iPr)CMe2C(Me)(2-py)}2Co (5-Co), and related thermolyses of 2-M (M = Cr, Mn, Fe), conducted on NMR tube scales, generated related 5-M (M = Cr, Mn, Fe) at roughly the same rates. This observation prompted thermolyses of (pyEA-ArRR′)Li, which rearrange to their corresponding indolamides in >90% yields. Rate studies, accompanied by KIE and EIE observations, revealed that an initial hydrogen transfer is reversible and is likely to correspond to an anionic rearrangement, whereas C-C bond formation is rate-determining, as suggested by accompanying calculations. X-ray structure determinations of 1, 2-Fe, 2-Co-py, 3, and 5-Co were conducted.

Novel cationic η3-methallyl palladium complexes bearing pyridinyl-imine ligands: Synthesis, characterization and X-ray study

Ligands (pyridin-2-ylmethylene)anilines (L1-L4) and (1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)anilines (L5-L6) were obtained by condensation reactions. These ligands react with Pd(dba)2 in the presence of methallyloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate [C4H7OP(NMe2)3]+PF6- to give the corresponding monometallic cationic η3-methallylpalladium complexes C1-C6 in high yields. All new complexes C1-C6 have been characterized by CHN analyses, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and IR spectroscopy. Solid state and electronic structures of complex C5 have been determined.

Synthesis, structures of (aminopyridine)nickel complexes and their use for catalytic ethylene polymerization

A series of α-aminopyridines in the form of (2,6-C6H 3N)(R1)(CHR2NR3R4) (R1 = R2 = H R3 = H R4 = iPr (L1a), R4 = tBu (L1b), R4 = Ph (L1c), R4 = 2,6-Me2C6H3 (L1d), R4 = 2,6-iPr2C6H3 (L1e), R1 = R2 = H R3 = R4 = Et (L1f), R1 = H R2 = Me R3 = H R4 = iPr (L2a), R4 = Ph (L2c), R4 = 2,6-Me 2C6H3 (L2d), R4 = 2,6- iPr2C6H3 (L2e), R1 = Me R2 = H R3 = H R4 = 2,6-iPr 2C6H3 (L3e)) and β-aminopyridines in the form of (2-C6H4N)(CH2CH2NR 1R2) (R1 = H R2 = iPr (4a), R2 = tBu (L4b), R1 = R2 = Et (L4f)) have been prepared. Their corresponding halonickel complexes 1a-4f are synthesized by ligand substitution from (DME)NiBr2 and the molecular structures are characterized. Four types of coordination modes include four-coordinate mononuclear species with one ligand, five-coordinate mononuclear species with two ligands, five-coordinate dinuclear species with two ligands, and a six-coordinate polymeric framework were determined by X-ray crystallography. Using methylaluminoxanes (MAO) as the activator, the nickel complexes can catalyze ethylene polymerization under moderate pressure and ambient temperature. The activity reaches 105 g PE mol-1 Ni h. The PE products with high branching and high crystallinity have M n ～ 103 with PDI 2.

Alternating ethylene-norbornene copolymerization catalyzed by cationic organopalladium complexes bearing hemilabile bidentate ligands of α-amino-pyridines

Cationic methylpalladium complexes with hemilabile bidentate ligands of α-amino-pyridines, in the form of {[R1HNCR2H(o- C6H5N)]Pd(Me)(NCMe)}(BF4) (R1 = iPr, tBu, Ar R2 = H, Me) have been found to be effective precursors for catalytic copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene under mild conditions. The copolymer products exhibit predominant alternating microstructures which are evidenced by NMR and mass spectrometry as well as a kinetic analysis according to the Finman-Ross relationship.

Bis-alkoxycarbonylation of styrene by pyridinimine palladium catalysts

Pyridinimine-modified Pd(II) complexes of general formulae (N-N′)Pd(Y)2 catalyze the methoxycarbonylation of styrene to give dimethyl phenylsuccinate as the largely major product [N-N′ = py-2-C(R) = N(2,6-R′C6H3), R = H, Me; R′ = Me, i-Pr; 6-Mepy-2-C(H)=N[2,6-(i-Pr)2C6H3]; py-2-C(H)=N(C6H5); Y = acetate, trifluoroacetate]. The influence of various catalytic parameters on the overall conversion of styrene to carbonylated products and on the product selectivity has been studied by systematically varying the type of palladium initiator, the concentrations of organic oxidant (1,4-benzoquinone) and protic acid (p-toluenesulfonic acid), and the CO pressure. By an appropriate choice of the structure of the pyridinimine ligand and of the reaction parameters, turn-over numbers as high as 96 and selectivities in dimethyl phenylsuccinate as high as 98% were obtained. In particular, the overall conversion of styrene is controlled by the steric properties of the alkyl substituents on the imine aryl group, while the nature of the substituent (H or Me) on the imine carbon influences the selectivity. The addition of 2 equivalents of TsOH to the catalytic mixtures generally increased the styrene conversion but lowered the selectivity in dimethyl phenylsuccinate due to greater production of methyl 3,6-diphenyl-4-oxohexanoate. Further additions of TsOH (up to 6 equivalents) resulted in better selectivities and lower conversions for all precursors.
