Nickel Hydride Complexes Supported by a Pyrrole-Derived Phosphine Ligand
Collett, Joel D.,Guan, Hairong,Krause, Jeanette A.
, p. 345 - 353 (2022/02/16)
The synthesis of two nickel hydride complexes bearing the pyrrole-derived phosphine ligand CyPNH (2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)methyl-1H-pyrrole) was developed, namely, (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH and the acid-stable trans-(κP-CyPNH)2Ni(OAc)H·HOAc. (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH stoichiometrically reduces benzaldehyde and acetophenone in a metal-ligand cooperative manner and catalytically dimerizes ethylene and cycloisomerizes 1,5-cyclooctadiene and 1,5-hexadiene. trans-(κP-CyPNH)2Ni(OAc)H·HOAc, available from the protonation of (κP-CyPNH)(κP,κN-CyPN)NiH with acetic acid, catalyzes the cycloisomerization of 1,5-cyclooctadiene more effectively and produces the less thermodynamically favored cycloisomers of 1,5-cyclooctadiene.

The catalytic transposition of double bonds holds promise as an ideal route to alkenes of value as fragrances, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; yet, selective access to specific isomers is a challenge, normally requiring independent development of different catalysts for different products. In this work, a single cation-responsive iridium catalyst selectively produces either of two different internal alkene isomers. In the absence of salts, a single positional isomerization of 1-butene derivatives furnishes 2-alkenes with exceptional regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The same catalyst, in the presence of Na+, mediates two positional isomerizations to produce 3-alkenes. The synthesis of new iridium pincer-crown ether catalysts based on an aza-18-crown-6 ether proved instrumental in achieving cation-controlled selectivity. Experimental and computational studies guided the development of a mechanistic model that explains the observed selectivity for various functionalized 1-butenes, providing insight into strategies for catalyst development based on noncovalent modifications.

We report the selective dimerization of propylene to branched hexenes using Ni-MFU-4l, a solid catalyst prepared by cation exchange. Analysis of the resulting product distribution demonstrates that the selectivity arises from 2,1-insertion and slow product reinsertion, mechanistic features reproduced by a molecular nickel tris-pyrazolylborate catalyst. Characterization of Ni-MFU-4l by X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides evidence for discrete, tris-pyrazolylborate-like coordination of nickel, underscoring the small-molecule analogy that can be made at metal-organic framework nodes.

Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the oligomerization of ethylene with a liquid heptane solvent over bifunctional Ni catalysts in a continuous flow reactor. We have prepared an Al-containing KIT-6 silica that was used as a support after calcination in the temperature range of 300–900 °C. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts had uniform mesopores with diameters in the range of 5.4–6.3 nm, excepting Ni/Al-KIT-6 (900). The calcination temperature of Al-KIT-6 support changed the surface acidity as well as the interaction of Ni2+ and acid sites for the Ni catalysts, as determined by temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, temperature-programmed reduction, infrared spectroscopy after the adsorption of pyridine, solid-state 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray adsorption spectroscopy. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest ethylene conversion because of the increased intimate contact between Ni2+ and acid sites. The strong interaction of Ni2+ species and the support is not effective in increasing active sites for ethylene conversion. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts produced internal linear C4 and C6 olefins with high selectivity. The Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) had 2.2–6.1 times lower selectivities toward 2-ethyl-1-butene than other catalysts at similar ethylene conversions. The reaction product mixture showed that the Ni/Al-KIT-6 catalysts shifted the product distribution towards acid-catalyzed oligomerization/cracking/realkylation products (i.e. C3, C7, C7, and C8+ olefins) as the concentration of Br?nsted acid sites increased. Among the tested catalysts, the Ni/Al-KIT-6 (300) showed the highest yield of C4 and C6 olefins (78.3%). Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

We report a method for palladium-catalysed chain-running isomerization of terminal and internal alkenes. Using an air-stable 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline-palladium catalyst in combination with NaBAr4 promoter, olefins are converted to the most stable double bond isomer at -30 to 20 °C. Silyl enol ethers are readily formed from silylated allylic alcohols. Fluorinated substituents are compatible with the reaction conditions, allowing the synthesis of fluoroenolates. Catalyst loading as low as 0.05% can be employed on a gram scale.
Alkene Isomerization by “Sandwich” Diimine-Palladium Catalysts

In contrast to traditional diimine-palladium complexes, sterically hindered “sandwich” diimine-palladium adducts act as olefin isomerization catalysts. Terminal olefins are selectively converted to 2-olefins by a sequence of migratory insertion, β-hydride elimination, and olefin displacement. The reaction is performed at 0 °C with 1 mol % of an air-stable precatalyst and tolerates functional groups such as ketones, silyl ethers, and halogens. The isomerization may be used to produce silyl enol ethers from protected allylic alcohols.

For high caloricity and stability in bio-aviation fuels, a certain content of aromatic hydrocarbons (AHCs, 8-25 wt%) is crucial. Fatty acids, obtained from waste or inedible oils, are a renewable and economic feedstock for AHC production. Considerable amounts of AHCs, up to 64.61 wt%, were produced through the one-step hydroprocessing of fatty acids over Ni/HZSM-5 catalysts. Hydrogenation, hydrocracking, and aromatization constituted the principal AHC formation processes. At a lower temperature, fatty acids were first hydrosaturated and then hydrodeoxygenated at metal sites to form long-chain hydrocarbons. Alternatively, the unsaturated fatty acids could be directly deoxygenated at acid sites without first being saturated. The long-chain hydrocarbons were cracked into gases such as ethane, propane, and C6-C8 olefins over the catalysts' Br?nsted acid sites; these underwent Diels-Alder reactions on the catalysts' Lewis acid sites to form AHCs. C6-C8 olefins were determined as critical intermediates for AHC formation. As the Ni content in the catalyst increased, the Br?nsted-acid site density was reduced due to coverage by the metal nanoparticles. Good performance was achieved with a loading of 10 wt% Ni, where the Ni nanoparticles exhibited a polyhedral morphology which exposed more active sites for aromatization.
CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR THE CO-DIMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE AND PROPYLENE
-
Paragraph 0082, (2015/03/28)
Disclosed are novel catalyst solutions comprising an organic complex of nickel, an alkyl aluminum compound, a solvent, and a phosphine compound, that are useful for the preparation of butenes, pentenes and hexenes by the co-dimerization or cross-dimerization of ethylene and propylene. Also disclosed are processes for the dimerization of ethylene and propylene that utilize these catalyst solutions. The catalyst systems described herein demonstrate that, depending on the choice of phosphine compound used with the catalytically active nickel, it is indeed possible to lower the concentration of hexene olefins relative to butenes and pentenes, even in the presence of excess propylene. The selectivity to the linear or branched pentene product can also be controlled by the selection of the phosphine compound. The catalyst solutions may be used with mixtures of olefins.

Titanocene hydride [Cp*2TiH] (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) (1) readily inserts simple internal alkynes R1C≡CR2 into its Ti-H bond, yielding titanocene alkenyl Ti(III) compounds of two structural types. The less sterically congested products [Cp*2Ti(R1C=CHR 2)] (2a-e) contain a σ1-bonded alkenyl group, whereas the products bearing at least one trimethylsilyl substituent and other bulky substituents (R1 = SiMe3; R2 = SiMe 3, 4a; CMe3, 4b; and Ph, 4c) possess a remarkable Ti-H agostic bond of the σ1-bonded alkenyl group. This feature is consistent with solution EPR spectra of 4a-4c showing a doublet due to coupling of the hydrogen nucleus with the Ti(III) d1 electron. Compound 1 reacts with one molar equivalent of conjugated buta-1,3-diynes (RC≡C) 2 to give η3-butenyne complexes (R = SiMe3, 5a; CMe3, 5b). The Ti(III) complexes 2a-2e and 5a and 5b were oxidatively chlorinated with PbCl2 to give Ti(IV) chloro-alkenyl complexes [Cp*2TiCl(R1C=CHR2)] 3a-3e and chloro-alkenynes 6a and 6b, respectively. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 3a-3e and 6a and 6b revealed that these compounds form equilibria of two atropisomers differing by the anti- and syn-position of the chlorine and the alkenyl hydrogen atoms. Such atropisomers are denoted by appended (a) and (b), respectively. Compound 1 reacted with 1,3-butadiene to give a thermally stable π-bonded 1-methylallyl complex (7) and with penta-1,3-diene to give a thermally labile 1,3-dimethylallyl complex (8). In toluene-d8 solutions 7 dissociated at 80 °C and 8 at room temperature to give [Cp*Ti(C5Me4CH2)] and corresponding alkenes. Other methyl-substituted dienes, isoprene, 4-methylpenta-1,3-diene, and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene, did not yield observable π-bonded allyl products; the dienes were, however, hydrogenated to olefins with concomitant formation of [CpTi(C5Me4CH2)]. Compound 1 was shown to catalyze the hydrogenation of the alkynes and dienes to olefins and ultimately to alkanes under lower than atmospheric hydrogen pressure at room temperature. Single-crystal structures were determined for 3d(a), 3e(a), 4a-4c, 5a, 6b, and 7.

We report the covalent support of functionalized nickel complexes on magnetic core-shell hybrid particles γ-Fe2O3/ SiO2. Two completely different ways of connecting the particle with these nickel complexes were carried out. The first approach used the hydrosilylation method between the alkene-substituted nickel complex and a silane. In a second approach, the particles were connected with the complexes by means of click chemistry (copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition). For this purpose, the nickel complexes were substituted with an alkyne moiety. Transmission and scanning electron microscopies, energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy were the methods employed to characterize the successful heterogenization of the nickel complexes.
