Mechanistic study of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroboration reaction

The objective of this study has been to elucidate the mechanism of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroboration process. Evidence that the reaction proceeds through a multistep pathway analogous to that of transition metal catalyzed olefin hydrogenation is presented. Deuterium labeling experiments reveal reversible elementary steps in the catalytic cycle; the level of reversibility is found to be substrate-dependent. Catalyst contamination through contact with adventitious oxidants has a pronounced effect on the reaction and appears to be the source of reported disparities involving product regioselection and deuterium labeling experiments.

Phenylthioacetylene as a Source of Stereodefined Trisubstituted Alkenes

A 1,2-metal-ate rearrangement leads to stereodefined trisubstituted alkenes, as single isomers, in an easy and straightforward one-pot procedure.

SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONE DERIVATIVES VIA Z-SELECTIVE OLEFIN METATHESIS

Disclosed herein are methods for synthesizing fatty olefin metathesis products of high Z-isomeric purity from olefin feedstocks of low Z-isomeric purity. The methods include contacting a contacting an olefin metathesis reaction partner, such as acylated alkenol or an alkenal acetal, with an internal olefin in the presence of a Z-selective metathesis catalyst to form the fatty olefin metathesis product. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin metathesis products are insect pheromones. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described.

Enantiopure 2,9-Dideuterodecane – Preparation and Proof of Enantiopurity

(R,R)- and (S,S)-(2,9-2H2)-n-Decane were prepared regio- and stereospecifically in 25–26 % yield over five steps from commercially available enantiopure (R)- and (S)-propylene oxide, respectively. The synthetic procedure involved nucleophilic displacement of (R)- and (S)-4-toluenesulfonic acid 1-methyl-4-pentenyl ester with LiAlD4 to furnish the respective (5-2H)-1-hexenes. Subsequent olefin metathesis and reduction of the double bond furnished the title compounds. The optical purity of (R,R)- and (S,S)-(2,9-2H2)-n-decane could not be determined by chromatography or polarimetry. Therefore, (R,R)- and (R,S)-(5-2H)-3-hydroxy-2-hexanone were prepared from their respective hexenes by Wacker oxidation, followed by enantioselective α-hydroxylation. The enantiopurity could then be determined by NMR spectroscopy because the stereospecifically deuterated hydroxyketones showed separated signals for the subterminal carbon atom (C-5) in the 13C NMR spectrum.

Cationic Tungsten Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes That Contain Bulky Ligands

Neutral and cationic tungsten imido alkylidene complexes of the general formulas W(NtBu)(CHR1)(OR2)Cl(NHC), W(N-2,6-bis(2,4,6-tri-iPr-C6H4)phenyl)(CHR1)Cl2(NHC), [W(NtBu)(CHR1)(OR2)(NHC)][B(ArF)4] and [W(N-2,6-bis(2,4,6-tri-iPr-C6H4)phenyl)(CHR1)Cl(NHC)][B(ArF)4] (R1= CMe3, CMe2Ph; R2= sterically demanding alkoxide; B(ArF)4= tetrakis(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)borate; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) were prepared. Two electronically different NHCs, namely 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMe) and 1,3-dimethyl-4,5-dichloroimidazol-2-ylidene (IMeCl), as well as a variety of terphenolates and a chiral biphenolate were employed.Z-selective homometathesis (HM) of unfunctionalized olefins was achieved with a selectivity of up to 90% and decent turnover numbers (TON) of up to 480 in the HM of 1-dodecene. Additionally, the reactivity of the cationic tungstentert-butylimido complexes in the reaction with vinyltrimethylsilane and ethylene was investigated, which yielded the corresponding silyl-alkylidene complex and, for the first time, a fully characterized cationic tungsten(IV) NHC ethylene complex.

Dinuclear cobalt complex-catalyzed stereodivergent semireduction of alkynes: Switchable selectivities controlled by H2O

Catalytic semireduction of internal alkynes to alkenes is very important for organic synthesis. Although great success has been achieved in this area, switchable Z/E stereoselectivity based on a single catalyst for the semireduction of internal alkynes is a longstanding challenge due to the multichemo- and stereoselectivity, especially based on less-expensive earth-abundant metals. Herein, we describe a switchable semireduction of alkynes to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes catalyzed by a dinuclear cobalt complex supported by a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine (PDI) ligand. It was found that cis-reduction of the alkyne occurs first and the Z-E alkene stereoisomerization process is formally controlled by the amount of H2O, since the concentration of H2O may influence the catalytic activity of the catalyst for isomerization. Therefore, this protocol provides a facile way to switch to either the (Z)- or (E)-olefin isomer in a single transformation by adjusting the amount of water.

A simple and efficientin situgenerated copper nanocatalyst for stereoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes

Development of a simple, effective, and practical method for (Z)-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes has been considered necessary for easy-to-access applications at organic laboratory scales. Herein, (Z)-selective semihydrogenation of alkynes was achieved using a copper nanocatalyst which was generatedin situsimply by adding ammonia borane to an ethanol solution of copper sulfate. Different types of alkynes including aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl, and aliphatic alkynes were selectively reduced to (Z)-alkenes affording up to 99% isolated yield. The semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes to alkenes and gram-scale applications were also reported. In addition to eliminating catalyst preparation, the proposed approach is simple and practical and serves as a suitable alternative method to the conventional Lindlar catalyst.

Silica-supported Z-selective Ru olefin metathesis catalysts

Recently reported thiolate-coordinated ruthenium alkylidene complexes show promise in Z-selective and stereoretentive olefin metathesis reactions. Herein we describe the immobilization of three Ru complexes containing a bulky aryl thiolate on mesostructured silica via surface organometallic chemistry. The applied methodology gives isolated catalytic sites homogeneously distributed on the silica surface. The catalytic results with two model substrates show comparable Z-selectivities to those of the homogeneous counterparts.

Molybdenum Benzylidyne Complexes for Olefin Metathesis Reactions

The molybdenum benzylidynes [ArCMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3(1,2-dimethoxyethane)], where Ar = Ph (2a), p-(OCH3)C6H4 (2b), p-(CF3)C6H4 (2c), p-(NO2)C6H4 (2d), or 4-(NO2)-3-(CF3)C6H3 (2e), and [p-(NO2)C6H4CMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3] (2f) catalyze the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of diallyl N-tosylamide (3) to produce 1-tosyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole (4) and ethylene. The scope of RCM catalytic activity of 2e, cross-metathesis of 1-hexene, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctene were explored. The X-ray crystal structure of 2e was determined. Variable-temperature 1H NMR spectra revealed the formation of intermediates during the reaction of 3 with 2f and the reforming of 2f after completion of the reaction. The use of 13C-labeled Mo benzylidyne did not show transfer of the carbon atom next to Mo to any of the products.

Synthesis and Immobilization of Metal Nanoparticles Using Photoactive Polymer-Decorated Zeolite L Crystals and Their Application in Catalysis

A facile route to generate Au and Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on zeolite L crystals decorated with photoactive polymer brushes is described. The polymers used in this approach serve a dual role: Upon irradiation with UV light, they release highly reducing ketyl radicals in a Norrish-Type-I reaction. These radicals serve as one electron donors to reduce metal salts to the corresponding metal NPs. At the same time the polymer shell stabilizes the in situ generated metal NPs. It is shown that the zeolite-polymer-NP composites can be used as recyclable catalysts for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and the stereoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes to Z-alkenes. The polymer shell in these hybrid catalysts protects the NPs from aggregation and also alters their catalytic properties. (Figure presented.).
