Highly productive α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols mediated by an Ir-oxalamidato/solid base catalyst system

An Ir-oxalamidato complex in combination with a solid base (e.g., magnesium aluminometasilicate/Ca(OH)2) significantly improved the catalyst productivity in α-alkylation of methyl ketones with primary alcohols. Optimization through systematic variation of the oxalamidato ligand led to a practical turnover number (TON) of 10 000.40 000.

Yttrium(III)-catalyzed intramolecular alkyne hydroaminations

The neutral Y(III) complex 4 has been shown to be an effective precatalyst for intramolecular alkyne hydroaminations that provide cyclic amines in good to excellent yields.

Synthesis of new bis(amidine)-cobalt catalysts and their application to styrene polymerization

Two new bis(amidine) cobalt(II) complexes were rationally designed and efficiently synthesized. The first synthesized cobalt complex was based on a cyclic bis(amidine) ligand with chiral vicinal diphenyl groups. The structure was verified by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. As expected from the ligand structure, the Co-N bonds in this complex were significantly shorter than those found in the corresponding 1,2-diimine cobalt complex. This indicates that the bis(amidine) ligand has better electron-donating capability than the 1,2-diimine ligand. Upon test polymerization of styrene, the complex exhibited a moderate activity of 5.88 × 105 g PS/(mol Co h). On the basis of this encouraging result, a new 1,2-diaminobenzene-derived bis(amidine) ligand was efficiently synthesized and used to make the corresponding cobalt(II) complex. When subjected to styrene polymerization, the resulting complex showed unusually high polymerization activity [164 × 105 g PS/(mol Co h)] and high conversion (>99%). The resulting polymer was identified as atactic polystyrene by 13C NMR spectroscopy analysis. The significantly enhanced styrene polymerization activity of the 1,2-diaminobenzene-originated bis(amidine) cobalt(II) complex is attributed to the improved electron-donating capability of the ligand.

Highly efficient ruthenium catalysts for the formation of tetrasubstituted olefins via Ring-Closing Metathesis

Equation presented A series of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been prepared in which the N-aryl groups have been changed from mesityl to mono-ortho-substituted phenyl (e.g., tolyl). These new catalysts
