Designed pincer ligand supported Co(ii)-based catalysts for dehydrogenative activation of alcohols: Studies onN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines

Base-metal catalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were synthesized from designed pincer ligandsL1,L2andL3having NNN donor atoms respectively.Co1,Co2andCo3were characterized by IR, UV-Vis. and ESI-MS spectroscopic studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were investigated to authenticate the molecular structures ofCo1andCo3. CatalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were utilized to study the dehydrogenative activation of alcohols forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines. Under optimized reaction conditions, a broad range of substrates including alcohols, anilines and ketones were exploited. A series of control experiments forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines were examined to understand the reaction pathway. ESI-MS spectral studies were investigated to characterize cobalt-alkoxide and cobalt-hydride intermediates. Reduction of styrene by evolved hydrogen gas during the reaction was investigated to authenticate the dehydrogenative nature of the catalysts. Probable reaction pathways were proposed forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines on the basis of control experiments and detection of reaction intermediates.

Efficient Organoruthenium Catalysts for α-Alkylation of Ketones and Amide with Alcohols: Synthesis of Quinolines via Hydrogen Borrowing Strategy and their Mechanistic Studies

A new family of phosphine free organometallic ruthenium(II) catalysts (Ru1–Ru4) supported by bidentate NN Schiff base ligands (L1–L4 where L1=N,N-dimethyl-4-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)hydrazineylidene)methyl) aniline, L2=N,N-diethyl-4-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)hydrazineylidene)methyl)aniline, L3=N,N-dimethyl-4-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazineylidene)methyl)- aniline and L4=N,N-diethyl-4-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazineylidene)methyl) aniline) was prepared and characterized. These half-sandwich complexes acted as catalysts for C?C bond formation and exhibited excellent performance in the dehydrogenative coupling of ketones and amides. In the synthesis of C–C bonds, alcohols were utilized as the alkylating agent. A broad range of substrates, including sterically hindered ketones and alcohols, were well tolerated under the optimized conditions (TON up to 47000 and TOF up to 11750 h?1). This ruthenium (II) catalysts were also active towards the dehydrogenative cyclization of o-amino benzyl alcohol for the formation of quinolines derivatives. Various polysubstituted quinolines were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields (TON up to 71000 and TOF up to 11830 h?1). Control experiments were carried out and the ruthenium hydride intermediate was characterized to support the reaction mechanism and a probable reaction pathway of dehydrogenative coupling for the C?C bond formation has been proposed.

Ligand-tuned cobalt-containing coordination polymers and applications in water

Ligands play a key role in modern catalysis research and occasionally determine whether a reaction will take place under specific conditions, such as in water. In this experiment, ligands containing an indole-based diacid moiety were employed to prepare the corresponding cobalt coordination polymer material (Co-CIA) and porous oval polymer material (Co-NCIA). Interestingly, it was observed that Co-CIA could promote the alkylation of ketones with alcohols and alcohols with alcohols, while Co-NCIA was effective for the synthesis of 1-benzyl-2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles from various phenylenediamine and benzyl alcohols through borrowing hydrogen and dehydrogenation strategies. Other mechanism explorations, such as deuterium labeling experiments and a kinetics study, were conducted to better understand Co-CIA and Co-NCIA systems and the related transformations. Our studies provided an efficient method for the development of highly active cobalt coordination polymer materials with excellent recovery performance for dehydrogenation and borrowing hydrogen reactions under water and base-free conditions.

Utility of Organoboron Reagents in Arylation of Cyclopropanols via Chelated Pd(II) Catalysis: Chemoselective Access to β-Aryl Ketones

Organoborane reagents were investigated as coupling partners to cyclopropanol-derived β-ketone enolates in the presence of a chelated Pd(II) catalyst. Efficient coupling of a range of electronically and sterically diverse cyclopropanols and aryl/alkenyl boronic derivatives (39 examples, 65-94% yield) could be achieved with the generation of synthetically important β-aryl ketone intermediates in a chemoselective fashion. This reactivity paradigm, which broadens the scope of aryl donor partners to homoenolates, allows open-flask conditions, water as a cosolvent, and preparation of halogen-bearing β-aryl ketones that are distinct from previous methods. This chelated Pd(II) catalysis appears to be different from the Pd(0) pathway, as evident from deuterium scrambling studies that could reveal differentiating protonolysis of an α-keto carbopalladium complex in the terminal step.

BINAP-copper supported by hydrotalcite as an efficient catalyst for the borrowing hydrogen reaction and dehydrogenation cyclization under water or solvent-free conditions

A BINAP-Cu system supported by hydrotalcite has been developed and proved to be a highly efficient catalyst for the atom-efficient and green borrowing hydrogen reaction and dehydrogenative cyclization. This BINAP-Cu complex supported by hydrotalcite is highly air-stable and can be recycled at least five times under solvent-free conditions. Notably, 1-benzyl-2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives could be synthesized from alcohols in only one step with water as the solvent for the first time. This provided a much greener and efficient catalytic method towards the synthesis of functionalized amines, ketones and 1-benzyl-2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives with high yields under water or solvent-free conditions.

Design and Synthesis of Zirconium-Containing Coordination Polymer Based on Unsymmetric Indolyl Dicarboxylic Acid and Catalytic Application on Borrowing Hydrogen Reaction

Catalytic borrowing hydrogen reaction is a very attractive transformation in the field of C-alkylation reaction. In this work, a new Zr (Zirconium)-containing coordination polymer containing unsymmetric indolyl dicarboxylic acid 1-(carboxymethyl)-1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid (H2CIA) was synthesized by the way of a solvothermal synthetic route and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS). The coordination polymer Zr-CIA was employed as the catalyst for C-alkylation of acetophenone derivatives in the presence of benzyl alcohol. In addition, Zr-CIA catalyst was also observed to be effective in the reaction of alcohols with alcohols and high yields of alkylation products were achieved. Mechanism investigations were also conducted to better understand the catalysts and transformations. Meanwhile, the Zr-CIA could be reused at least five times without a notable decrease in activity and selectivity. (Figure presented.).

Selective iron-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of Grignard reagents with enol triflates, acid chlorides, and dichloroarenes

Cheap, readily available, air stable, nontoxic, and environmentally benign iron salts such as Fe(acac)3 are excellent precatalysts for the cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with alkenyl triflates and acid chlorides. Moreover, it is shown that dichloroarene and -heteroarene derivatives as the substrates can be selectively monoalkylated by this method. All cross-coupling reactions proceed very rapidly under notably mild conditions and turned out to be compatible with a variety of functional groups in both reaction partners. A detailed analysis of the preparative results suggests that iron-catalyzed C-C bond formations can occur via different pathways. Thus, it is likely that reactions of methylmagnesium halides involve iron-ate complexes as the active components, whereas reactions of Grignard reagents with two or more carbon atoms are effected by highly reduced iron-clusters of the formal composition [Fe(MgX)2]n generated in situ. Control experiments using the ate-complex [Me4Fe]Li2 corroborate this interpretation.
