A step forward in solvent knitting strategies: Ruthenium and gold phosphine complex polymerization results in effective heterogenized catalysts

Porous polymers based on ruthenium and gold triphenylphosphine complexes (KPhos(Ru), KPhos(Ru)Bi, KPhos(AuCl) and KPhos(AuNTf2)) were prepared via a cost-effective solvent knitting method with [RuHClCO(PPh3)3] or AuXPPh3 (X = Cl, NTf2) as single monomers or combined with biphenyl, which represents a further approach to obtain heterogenized catalysts. The resulting materials mainly preserve the metal coordination environment of their parent complexes, are stable up to 350 °C and have reasonable surface areas (250-300 m2 g-1 for KPhos(Ru)-polymers). KPhos(Ru)s selectively catalyze the imination of alcohols in the presence of base and the results for KPhos(Au)s show they are effective for the intermolecular hydration and hydroamination of alkynes. These materials can be reused several times without significant loss of activity. This novel and simple method affords heterogenized catalysts that combine the reactivity and selectivity of their homogeneous counterparts with the stability and reusability of a heterogeneous framework.

Highly atom-efficient and chemoselective reduction of ketones in the presence of aldehydes using heterogeneous catalysts

The first demonstration of a 100% atom-efficient selective reduction of less reactive ketones over aldehydes using heterogeneous catalysts is reported. Extremely high selectivities for intra- and intermolecular reductions of ketones over aldehydes were achieved. This system was also applicable to a column reactor, leading to a gram-scale synthesis.

Anodic cleavage of several ketone N-phenylsemicarbazones into methyl N-phenylcarbamate and the corresponding dimethyl acetals

Several ketone N-phenylsemicarbazones were electrooxidized in the presence of potassium iodide and a base using methanol as the solvent to give nearly commensurate amounts of methyl N-phenylcarbamate and the corresponding dimethyl acetals. Continuous evolution of gaseous nitrogen was observed from the anolyte during the electrooxidation. The reactions were carried out under very mild reaction conditions and are presumed to proceed through a four-electron oxidation process, in which the iodide ion plays an important role as an electron carrier.

Regio- And stereoselective intermolecular hydroalkoxylation of alkynes catalysed by cationic gold(I) complexes

Vinyl ethers and ketals are obtained from the reaction of phenylacetylene derivatives and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) with alcohols in good yields and levels of stereoselectivity by using cationic gold(I)-phosphine complexes as catalysts. By choosing the appropriate phosphine, the selective formation of the Z or the E isomer of the vinyl ether can be tuned, and the undesired formation of the ketal can be controlled. The isomerisation of fumarates (Z-isomer) to maleates (E-isomer) is a gold-catalysed process that can be conducted in onepot. When using polyols, 5-membered cyclic ketals are easily isolated by extraction with hexane and the gold complex can be reused.

Metalation of Alkynes. Part 2. Behaviour of Alkynes with Mercury(II)Acetate in Methanol: a Systematic Reinvestigation

The reaction of a series of alkynes with mercury(II)acetate, both in equimolar and catalytic amounts, were investigated in methanol.Hex-1-yne, oct-1-yne, oct-4-yne, 1,4-diacetoxybut-2-yne, methyl oct-2-ynoate, methyl 3-phenylpropynoate, oct-2-ynoic acid, phenylpropynoic acid, oct-1-yn-3-ol, 1-ethynylcyclohexanol, 1-ethynylcyclohexamine, phenylethyne, diphenylethyne, and ethynylferrocene were the examined substrates.The non-mercuriated products from the reaction were the corresponding vinyl ether, dialkoxyalkane, and ketone, isolated under preparative conditions.The presence of 0.1percent toluene-p-sulphonic acid increased the reactivity.The reactions of oct-1-yne and oct-4-yne were studied in detail by following with time the formation of the products under a variety of conditions, and a mechanistic scheme was drawn.For comparison, styrene, trans-oct-4-ene, and trans-β-methylstyrene were treated with 5 molpercent mercury(II) acetate.The reaction of alkenes was found to be non-catalytic.
