Sterically hindered (pyridyl)benzamidine palladium(II) complexes: Syntheses, structural studies, and applications as catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of olefins

Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

Method for preparing organic carboxylic ester through combined catalysis of aryl bidentate phosphine ligand

The invention discloses a method for preparing organic carboxylic ester by combined catalysis of an aryl bidentate phosphine ligand. The method comprises the following steps: under the action of a palladium compound/aryl bidentate phosphine ligand/acidic additive combined catalyst, carrying out a hydrogen esterification reaction on terminal olefin, carbon monoxide and alcohol so as to generate theorganic carboxylic ester with one more carbon than olefin. According to the invention, by adoption of the palladium compound/aryl bidentate phosphine ligand/acidic additive combined catalyst, good catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydrogen esterification reaction of the olefin are achieved, and olefin carbonylation to synthesize organic carboxylic ester can be efficiently catalyzed. Thearyl bidentate phosphine ligand has a rigid skeleton structure of a rigid ligand and the flexibility of a flexible ligand, so the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand has proper flexibility due to the characteristic that the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand is soft and rigid, and a most favorable coordination mode and a stable active structure in space are favorably formed. In addition, the aryl bidentate phosphine ligand has the advantages of high stability, simple and convenient synthesis method and the like; and a novel industrial technology is provided for production of organic carboxylate compounds.

Pd-Catalyzed Regioselective Alkoxycarbonylation of 1-Alkenes Using a Lewis Acid [SnCl2 or Ti(OiPr)4] and a Phosphine

The phosphine ligand mediated palladium catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes was investigated with the objective of attaining good linear selectivity for the ester. The effect of various parameters such as solvents, additives, palladium precursors, CO pressures, and alkenes of various structural complexities were examined. The results revealed the importance of using a Lewis acid such as SnCl2 or Ti(OiPr)4 in combination with a monodentate ligand such CYTOP 292 or P(p-anisyl)3 to enhance the regioselectivity for the linear isomers in the range of 70-96%.

Manufacture of C13 higher fatty acids from their esters by carbonylation of dodecene-1 in ionic liquid medium

The effect of catalyst nature, temperature, acidity, promoters, and feedstock composition on dodecene-1 carbonylation in the presence of Pd compounds in an ionic liquid medium yielding higher fatty acid and their esters was studied. Palladium salts without phosphine ligands show high activity in tetrabutylammonium bromide. In systems of this kind, the catalyst is suspended in the reaction mass in the form of Pd particles with a size of 4-10 nm. It was shown that the catalytic system can be repeatedly used without loss of activity. It is acceptable to use synthesis gas instead of bare carbon monoxide with the selectivity for tride-canoic acid increasing.

Selective Mono- and Bis(alkoxycarbonylation)s of Olefins Catalyzed by Palladium in the Presence of Cu(I) or Cu(II) Chloride under Remarkably Mild Conditions. Application to the Synthesis of γ-Butyrolactone Derivatives

Palladium-catalyzed mono- and bis(alkoxycarbonylation)s of the olefins were controlled by the use of copper(II) and copper(I) chloride, respectively, in alcohol under normal pressure of carbon monoxide and oxygen at room temperature without any other additives. 3-Buten-1-ols gave the corresponding γ-butyrolactones and 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-acetic acid esters, respectively, in high yields.
