PROCESS FOR HYDROCYANATION OF TERMINAL ALKYNES

The present invention refers to a process for a Rh-catalyzed Anti-Markovnikov hydrocyanation of terminal alkynes which process discloses, for the first time, the highly stereo- and regio-selective hydrocyanation of terminal alkynes to furnish E- configured alkenyl nitriles and the catalyst used in the present process.

Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and nitriles via cross-metathesis reactions using Grubbs' catalysts

A series of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and nitriles of significant interest in the fragrance industry have been prepared using Grubbs' catalysts in cross-metathesis reactions of electron-deficient olefins (i.e., acrolein, crotonaldehyde, methacrolein, and acrylonitrile) with various 1-alkenes, including 1-decene, 1-octene, 1-hexene and 2-allyloxy-6-methylheptane. The latter is of particular interest, as it has not previously being used as a substrate in cross-metathesis reactions and allows access to valuable intermediates for the synthesis of new fragrances. Most reactions gave good selectivity of the desired CM product (≥90%). Detailed optimisation and mechanistic studies have been performed on the cross-metathesis of acrolein with 1-decene. Recycling of the catalyst has been attempted using ionic liquids.

Highly active ruthenium-based catalyst for metathesis of cyano-contained olefins

Ruthenium benzylidene complex (H2IMes)(2-CH3-C5H4N)(Cl)2Ru{double bond, long}CHPh [H2IMes = 1,3-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene] (4), which introduced ortho substituted pyridine as dissociating ligand to weaken Ru-N bond and accelerate initiation through steric hindrance, was prepared by the reaction of (H2IMes)(PPh3)(Cl)2Ru{double bond, long}CHPh (1) with 2-methylpyridine and proved to exhibit enhanced catalytic activity for cyano-contained olefin metathesis.
