Synthesis and catalytic activity of N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) iron (II) hydride for hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones

A novel silylene supported iron hydride [Si, C]FeH (PMe3)3 (1) was synthesized by C (sp3)-H bond activation with zero-valent iron complex Fe (PMe3)4. Complex 1 was fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. To the best of our knowledge, 1 is the first example of silylene-based hydrido chelate iron complex produced through activation of the C (sp3)?H bond. It was found that complex 1 exhibited excellent catalytic activity for hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones. The catalytic system showed good tolerance and catalytic activity for the substrates with different functional groups on the benzene ring. It is worth mentioning that, the experimental results showed that both ketones and aldehydes could be reduced in good to excellent yields under the same catalytic conditions. Based on the experiments and literature reports, a possible catalytic mechanism was proposed.

Ambient-pressure highly active hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes catalyzed by a metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalyst under base-free conditions in water

A green, efficient, and high active catalytic system for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes to produce corresponding alcohols under atmospheric-pressure H2 gas and ambient temperature conditions was developed by a water-soluble metal–ligand bifunctional catalyst [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] in water without addition of a base. The catalyst exhibited high activity for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes. Furthermore, it was worth noting that many readily reducible or labile functional groups in the same molecule, such as cyan, nitro, and ester groups, remained unchanged. Interestingly, the unsaturated aldehydes can be also selectively hydrogenated to give corresponding unsaturated alcohols with remaining C=C bond in good yields. In addition, this reaction could be extended to gram levels and has a large potential of wide application in future industrial.

Method for synthesizing unsaturated primary alcohol in water phase

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing unsaturated primary alcohol in a water phase. The method comprises the following steps: taking unsaturated aldehyde as a raw material, selecting water as a solvent, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation reaction on the unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of a water-soluble catalyst to obtain the unsaturated primary alcohol, wherein the catalyst is a metal iridium complex [Cp * Ir (2, 2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na]. Water is used as the solvent, so that the use of an organic solvent is avoided, and the method is more environment-friendly; the reaction is carried out at relatively low temperature and normal pressure, and the reaction conditions are mild; alkali is not needed in the reaction, so that generation of byproducts is avoided; and the conversion rate of the raw materials is high, and the yield of the obtained product is high. The method not only has academic research value, but also has a certain industrialization prospect.and.

Pyridine: N-oxide promoted hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by [PSiP]-pincer iron hydrides

Five [PSiP]-pincer iron hydrides 1-5, [(2-Ph2PC6H4)2HSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (1), (2-Ph2PC6H4)2MeSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (2), (2-Ph2PC6H4)2PhSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (3), (2-(iPr)2PC6H4)2HSiFe(H)(PMe3) (4), and (2-(iPr)2PC6H4)2MeSiFe(H)(PMe3)2 (5)], were used as catalysts to study the effects of pyridine N-oxide and the electronic properties of [PSiP]-ligands on the catalytic hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds. It was proved for the first time that this catalytic process could be promoted with pyridine N-oxide as the initiator at 30 °C because the addition of pyridine N-oxide is beneficial for the formation of an unsaturated hydrido iron complex, which is the key intermediate in the catalytic mechanism. Complex 4 as the best catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance. Among the five complexes, complex 3 was new and the molecular structure of complex 3 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A proposed mechanism was discussed.

Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of Iron Hydride Ligated with Bidentate N-Heterocyclic Silylenes for Hydroboration of Carbonyl Compounds

We report the synthesis of a novel bidentate N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) ligand, N-(LSi:)-N-methyl-2-pyridinamine (1) (L = PhC(NtBu)2), and the first bischelate disilylene iron hydride, [(Si,N)(Si,C)Fe(H)(PMe3)] (2), and monosilylene iron hydride, [(Si,C)Fe(H)(PMe3)3] (2′), through Csp2-H activation of the NHSi ligand. Compounds 1 and 2 were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Density functional theory calculations indicated the multiple-bond character of the Fe-Si bonds and the π back-donation from Fe(II) to the Si(II) center. Moreover, the strong donor character of ligand 1 enables 2 to act as an efficient catalyst for the hydroboration reaction of carbonyl compounds at room temperature. Chemoselective hydroboration is attained under these conditions. This might be the first example of hydroboration of ketones and aldehydes catalyzed by a silylene hydrido iron complex. A catalytic mechanism was suggested and partially experimentally verified.

Efficient transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by selenophenolato hydrido iron(II) complexes

Selenophenolato hydrido iron(II) complexes 1–3 cis-[(H)(SeAr)Fe(PMe3)4] (Ar = C6H5 (1), p-MeOC6H4 (2) and o-MeC6H4 (3)) could catalyze transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones. Among the three complexes, catalyst 1 exhibited the highest catalytic activity. The catalytic reactions took place under very mild conditions, using isopropanol as solvent and hydrogen source, tBuONa as base under 60–80 °C. This catalytic system has good tolerance for many functional groups, such as halides, C[dbnd]C double bonds, nitro groups and cyano groups at the phenyl ring of the substrates.

Highly pH-Dependent Chemoselective Transfer Hydrogenation of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes in Water

The pH-dependent selective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was realized in water. Using HCOOH as the hydride donor at low pH, the unsaturated alcohol products were obtained exclusively, while the saturated alcohol products were formed preferentially by employing HCOONa as the hydride donor at high pH. A wide range of functional groups including electron-rich as well as electron-poor substituents on the aryl group of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes can be tolerated, affording the corresponding products in excellent yields with high TOF values. High selectivity and yields were also observed for α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with aliphatic substituents. Our mechanistic investigations indicate that the pH value is critical to the chemoselectivity.

Synthesis of silyl iron hydride: Via Si-H activation and its dual catalytic application in the hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds and dehydration of benzamides

The hydrido silyl iron complex (o-Ph2PC6H4SiMe2)Fe(PMe3)3H (2) was obtained via the activation of the Si-H bond of the bidentate silyl ligand o-Ph2P(C6H4)SiMe2H (1) by Fe(PMe3)4. 2 showed good to excellent catalytic activity in both the reduction of aldehydes/ketones and the dehydration of benzamide. In addition, with complex 2 as a catalyst, α,β-unsaturated carbonyls could be selectively reduced to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated alcohols. The mechanisms of the formation of 2 and the catalytic dehydration process are proposed and partly experimentally verified.
