The first continuous flow Z-selective olefin metathesis process is reported. Key to realizing this process was the adequate choice of stereoselective catalysts combined with the design of an appropriate continuous reactor setup. The designed continuous process permits various self-, cross- and macro-ring-closing-metathesis reactions, delivering products in high selectivity and short residence times. This technique is exemplified by direct application to the preparation of a range of pheromones and macrocyclic odorant molecules and culminates in a telescoped Z-selective cross-metathesis/ Dieckmann cyclisation sequence to access (Z)-Civetone, incorporating a serial array of continually stirred tank reactors.

Primary alcohols are widely used in industry as solvents and precursors of detergents. The classic methods for hydration of terminal alkenes always produce the Markovnikov products. Herein, we reported a reliable approach to produce primary alcohols from terminal alkenes combining with biomass-derived allyl alcohol by tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation. A series of primary alcohol with different chain lengths was successfully produced in high yields (ca. 90percent). Computational studies revealed that self-metathesis and hydrogenation of substrates are accessible but much slower than cross-metathesis. This new methodology represents a unique alternative to primary alcohols from terminal alkenes.

Background: α,ω-Difunctional substrates are useful intermediates for polymer synthesis. An attractive, sustainable and selective (but as yet unused) method in the chemical industry is the oleochemical cross-metathesis with preferably symmetric functionalised substrates. The current study explores the cross-metathesis of methyl oleate (1) with cis-2-butene-1,4-diyl diacetate (2) starting from renewable resources and quite inexpensive base chemicals. Results: This cross-metathesis reaction was carried out with several phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ruthenium catalysts. The reaction conditions were optimised for high conversions in combination with high cross-metathesis selectivity. The influence of protecting groups present in the substrates on the necessary catalyst loading was also investigated. Conclusions: The value-added methyl 11-acetoxyundec-9-enoate (3) and undec-2-enyl acetate (4) are accessed with nearly quantitative oleochemical conversions and high cross-metathesis selectivity under mild reaction conditions. These two cross-metathesis products can be potentially used as functional monomers for diverse sustainable polymers.
Zinc-catalyzed chemoselective reduction of esters to alcohols

Economical alcohols! A general and chemoselective catalytic reduction of esters to alcohols using inexpensive zinc acetate and silanes has been developed. The operational simplicity and the high functional group tolerance, without the need for protecting and deprotecting steps, make this procedure particularly attractive for organic synthesis.

Selective liquid-phase semihydrogenation of functionalized acetylenes and propargylic alcohols with silica-supported bimetallic palladium-copper catalysts

Silica-supported, bimetallic palladium-copper catalysts were prepared in solution under mild conditions by reacting lithium di(4-tolyl)cuprate with palladium acetate in the presence of silica particles. Small bimetallic palladium-copper particles were deposited on the silica surface as confirmed with TEM-EDAX and EXAFS. The new material has been applied as catalyst in the liquid-phase semihydrogenation of mono- and disubstituted alkynes and showed high selectivity toward the cis-alkenes. The influence of addition of quinoline or potassium hydroxide to the semihydrogenation reaction mixture and the effects of exposure of the catalyst to air before use have been investigated.
