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.
Catalytic Hydrogenation of Alkenes and Alkynes by a Cobalt Pincer Complex: Evidence of Roles for Both Co(I) and Co(II)

The Co(I) complex, [Co(N2)(CyPNP)] (CyPNP = anion of 2,5-bis-(dicyclohexylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole), is active toward the catalytic hydrogenation of terminal alkenes and the semi-hydrogenation of internal alkynes under 2 bar of H2 (g) at room temperature. The products of alkyne semi-hydrogenation are a mixture of E- and Z-alkenes. By contrast, use of the related cobalt(I) precatalyst, [Co(PMe3)(CyPNP)], results in formation of exclusively Z-alkenes. A semi-stable Co(II) species, [CoH(CyPNP)], can also be generated by treatment of degassed solutions of [Co(N2)(CyPNP)] with H2. The CoII-hydride displays activity toward both alkene hydrogenation and isomerization, but its instability hampers implementation as a catalyst. Several species relevant to potential catalytic intermediates have been isolated and detected in solution. These compounds include alkene and alkyne adducts of Co(I) as well as a Co(III) dihydride species. Catalytic results with the compounds examined are most consistent with a process involving shuttling between Co(I) and Co(III) states. However, generation of small quantities of Co(II) during catalytic turnover appears to be responsible for the isomerization observed for alkyne semi-hydrogenation. The interplay of cobalt oxidation states within the same catalyst system is discussed in the context of mechanistic scenarios for catalytic hydrogenation.

The metal-free cis selective hydrogenation of alkynes catalyzed by a boroxypyridine is reported. A variety of internal alkynes are hydrogenated at 80 °C under 5 bar H2 with good yields and stereoselectivity. Furthermore, the catalyst described herein enables the first metal-free semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes. Mechanistic investigations, substantiated by DFT computations, reveal that the mode of action by which the boroxypyridine activates H2 is reminiscent of the reactivity of an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair. However, it is the change in the coordination mode of the boroxypyridine upon H2 activation that allows the dissociation of the formed pyridone borane complex and subsequent hydroboration of an alkyne. This change in the coordination mode upon bond activation is described by the term boron-ligand cooperation.

A unique Ir complex (tBuNCCP)Ir with the pyridine–phosphine pincer as the sole ligand, featuring a dual agostic interaction between the Ir and two σ C?H bonds from a tBu substituent, has been prepared. This complex exhibits exceptionally high activity and excellent regio- and stereoselectivity for monoisomerization of 1-alkenes to trans-2-alkenes with wide functional-group tolerance. Reactions can be performed in neat reactant on a more than 100 gram scale using 0.005 mol % catalyst loadings with turnover numbers up to 19000.

A homogenous metal hydride (M?H) catalyst for isomerization normally requires rigorous air-free techniques. Here, we demonstrate a highly efficient protocol in which simple non-redox metal ions as Lewis acids can promote olefin isomerization dramatically with a commercially available RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 complex in an open-flask system. Isomerization can be accomplished within a short time, and a satisfactory selectivity for different types of unsaturated compounds can be obtained. Meanwhile, an excellent turnover number up to 17208 was achieved under air, and open-flask gram-scale experiments further demonstrated the efficiency of the RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3/non-redox-metals system. We used FTIR spectroscopy, GC–MS, NMR spectroscopy and kinetics studies to evidence that in the sluggish RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 catalyst, bloated PPh3 ligands cause steric hindrance for the coordination of the free alkene. Alternatively, the addition of non-redox metal ions could induce the dissociation of the PPh3 ligand to offer unoccupied coordination sites for the alkene and to form the Mg-bridged adduct OC?Ru?H2?Mg2+ as the highly active species, which benefited the isomerization significantly through the metal hydride addition–elimination pathway. Finally, this strategy was demonstrated as an impactful approach for hydride catalysts of other transition metals such as Os.
Nonredox Metal-Ion-Accelerated Olefin Isomerization by Palladium(II) Catalysts: Density Functional Theory (DFT) Calculations Supporting the Experimental Data

Redox metal-ion-catalyzed olefin isomerization represents one of the important chemical processes. This work illustrates that nonredox metal ions can sharply accelerate Pd(II)-catalyzed olefin isomerization, while Pd(II) alone is very sluggish. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) characterizations disclosed that the acceleration effect originates from the formation of heterobimetallic Pd(II) species with added nonredox metal ions, which improves the C-H activation capability of the Pd(II) moiety. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further confirmed the sharp decrease of the energy barrier in C-H activation by the heterobimetallic Pd(II)/Al(III) species.
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.

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.

experimental part, p. 45 - 49 (2010/07/08)
A series of new bis(imino)pyridine vanadium(III) complexes was synthesized. They were tested for the homogeneous catalytic dimerization of propylene after activation with MAO. The activity and selectivity depend on the ligand structure of the corresponding organic coordination compound. The influence of PPh3 as an additive was investigated and high dependency could be observed.
