Nitrogen-doped cobalt nanoparticles loaded on porous supports were developed for ring-opening carbonylation of propylene oxide. The catalysts were prepared by simply pyrolysis of Co(OAc)2/phenanthroline and supports. As proved by XPS combined with XRD and TEM characterizations, a higher amount of available Co-N sites were responsible for promoting the carbonylative activity. The selectivity of carbonylated products reached 93 percent, which is comparable to previously reported cobalt carbonyl catalysts. The novel type of carbonylative catalyst also could be reused and revealed fine stability due to the continuous generation of active [Co(CO)4]? species during reaction.

A novel synthesis of quinolizidines by a cationic gold-catalyzed double cyclization cascade has been developed. The reaction was initiated by the gold-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization of ynamides, which was followed by a second cyclization of an enamide intermediate to provide the corresponding quinolizidine derivatives. The utility of this reaction was demonstrated by application to the synthesis of multi-substituted quinolizidines and by the total synthesis of a quinolizidine alkaloid, (±)-lupinine.

To extend the toolbox and find improved catalysts, anionic METAMORPhos ligands and neutral amino-acid-based ligands were used separately and in mixtures to form Rh complexes used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of eight industrially relevant substrates. S

In recent work, it was reported that changes in solvent composition, precisely the addition of water, significantly inhibits the catalytic activity of Au/TiO2 catalyst in the aerobic oxidation of 1,4-butanediol in methanol due to changes in diffusion and adsorption properties of the reactant. In order to understand whether the inhibition mechanism of water on diol oxidation in methanol is generally valid, the solvent effect on the aerobic catalytic oxidation of 1,3-propanediol and its two methyl-substituted homologues, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, over a Au/TiO2 catalyst has been studied here using conventional catalytic reaction monitoring in combination with pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) diffusion and NMR relaxation time measurements. Diol conversion is significantly lower when water is present in the initial diol/methanol mixture. A reactivity trend within the group of diols was also observed. Combined NMR diffusion and relaxation time measurements suggest that molecular diffusion and, in particular, the relative strength of diol adsorption, are important factors in determining the conversion. These results highlight NMR diffusion and relaxation techniques as novel, non-invasive characterisation tools for catalytic materials, which complement conventional reaction data. In solvent company: The solvent effect on the aerobic catalytic oxidation of 1,3-propanediol and its two methyl-substituted homologues, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, over a Au/TiO 2 catalyst has been studied. The results show that diol conversion is significantly lower when water is present in the initial diol/methanol mixture. A reactivity trend within the group of diols was also observed. Copyright

The oxidative esterification of a homologous series of diols (1,3-propanediol,2-methyl-propanediol and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol) with methanol has been investigated using titania-supported gold, palladium and gold-palladium catalysts using molecular oxygen. The gold-palladium catalysts showed the highest activity and 1,3-propanediol was the most reactive while the additional methyl groups decreased the reactivity. However, it is possible to achieve high selectivity to methyl 3-hydroxypropionate and 2-methyl-3- hydroxyisobutyrate by mono-oxidations. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

A library of 19 binol-derived chiral monophosphites that contain a phthalic acid diamide group (Phthala- Phos) has been designed and synthesized in four steps. These new ligands were screened in the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of prochiral dehydroamino esters and enamides. Several members of the library showed excellent enantioselectivity with methyl 2-acetamido acrylate (6 ligands gave >97% ee), methyl (Z)-2- acetamido cinnamate (6 ligands gave >94% ee), and N-(1-phenylvinyl)acetamide (9 ligands gave >95% ee), whilst only a few representatives afforded high enantioselectivities for challenging and industrially relevant substrates N-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1- yl)-acetamide (96% ee in one case) and methyl (E)-2-(acetamidomethyl)-3- phenylacrylate (99% ee in one case). In most cases, the new ligands were more active and more stereoselective than their structurally related monodentate phosphites (which are devoid of functional groups that are capable of hydrogen-bonding interactions). Control experiments and kinetic studies were carried out that allowed us to demonstrate that hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the diamide group of the PhthalaPhos ligands strongly contribute to their outstanding catalytic properties. Computational studies carried out on a rhodium precatalyst and on a conceivable intermediate in the hydrogenation catalytic cycle shed some light on the role played by hydrogen bonding, which is likely to act in a substrate-orientation effect.
Supramolecular hybrid bidentate ligands in asymmetric hydrogenation

In this study we introduce a novel class of supramolecular bidentate hybrid ligands and their application in the rhodium-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins. A new supramolecular strategy is reported in which the two nonequivalent phosphorus atoms are linked covalently to a chiral scaffold, and the supramolecular interactions are used to control the second coordination sphere of the transition-metal catalyst. The supramolecular assembly is formed in situ by selective interaction between the nitrogen-donor atoms and the zinc(II) template, which is essential for obtaining high activity and selectivity. The investigations of the different zinc(II) and ruthenium(II) templates on the reaction parameters revealed a dependence of the activity and selectivity on the association constant between the supramolecular template and the pyridyl ligands. The scope of the supramolecular assemblies was explored in the Rh-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino acid esters and Roche ester derivatives. High activities and good to excellent enantioselectivities up to 99 % ee were obtained with the supramolecular ligands. Application of the supramolecular strategy on the basis of variations of the steric and electronic properties of zinc(II) templates demonstrate that these changes can influence key reaction parameters such as activity and selectivity.

Enoate reductases from the 'old yellow enzyme' family were employed for the asymmetric bioreduction of methyl 2-hydroxymethylacrylate and its O-allyl, O-benzyl and O-TBDMS derivatives to furnish (R)-configurated methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate products in up to >99% ee Variation of the O-protective group had little influence on the stereoselectivity, but a major impact on the reaction rate.

Gluconobacter were found to be capable of oxidizing prochiral diols such as 2-substituted propane-1,3-diols 1 and 3-substituted pentane-1,5-diols 4 with distinction of pro-R and pro-S sites of the molecules, in that (-)-(R)-α-substituted β-hydroxypropionic acids 2 and (+)-(3S)-3-substituted δ-valerolactones 5 were obtained, respectively.Oxidation of 3-methylpentane-1,3,5-triol 11 afforded unnatural (+)-(S)-mevalonolactone 12.The steric bulkiness of the substituents on the prochiral center and the distance from the hydroxy group greatly affected the rate and the enantioselectivity of the reaction.
