Development of effective bidentate diphosphine ligands of ruthenium catalysts toward practical hydrogenation of carboxylic acids

Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids (CAs) to alcohols represents one of the most ideal reduction methods for utilizing abundant CAs as alternative carbon and energy sources. However, systematic studies on the effects of metal-to-ligand relationships on the catalytic activity of metal complex catalysts are scarce. We previously demonstrated a rational methodology for CA hydrogenation, in which CA-derived cationic metal carboxylate [(PP)M(OCOR)]+ (M = Ru and Re; P = one P coordination) served as the catalyst prototype for CA self-induced CA hydrogenation. Herein, we report systematic trial- and-error studies on how we could achieve higher catalytic activity by modifying the structure of bidentate diphosphine (PP) ligands of molecular Ru catalysts. Carbon chains connecting two P atoms as well as Ar groups substituted on the P atoms of PP ligands were intensively varied, and the induction of active Ru catalysts from precatalyst Ru(acac)3 was surveyed extensively. As a result, the activity and durability of the (PP)Ru catalyst substantially increased compared to those of other molecular Ru catalyst systems, including our original Ru catalysts. The results validate our approach for improving the catalyst performance, which would benefit further advancement of CA self-induced CA hydrogenation.

Enzymes in Organic Synthesis. 24. Preparations of Enantiomerically Pure Chiral Lactones via Stereospecific Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase Catalyzed Oxidations of Monocyclic Meso Diols

Preparative-scale horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of monocyclic meso diols provides a direct and convenient one-step route to a broad range of chiral γ-lactones of value as synthons in asymmetric synthesis.The general applicability of the method is demonstrated by oxidations of cis-1,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) substrates of the cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopropyl, and dimethylcyclopropyl series.For each diol, oxidation of the hydroxymethyl group attached to the S chiral center occurs exclusively, and the pure γ-lactone products are isolated in high (68-90percent) yields and of 100percent ee.In contrast, the enzyme does not exhibit significant enantiomeric selectivity in its catalysis of oxidations of the corresponding racemic trans diols.The stereospecificities observed, or lack thereof, are as predicted by the active-site model.
