Single-Site Cobalt Catalysts at New Zr8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 Metal-Organic Framework Nodes for Highly Active Hydrogenation of Alkenes, Imines, Carbonyls, and Heterocycles

We report here the synthesis of robust and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), M-MTBC (M = Zr or Hf), constructed from the tetrahedral linker methane-tetrakis(p-biphenylcarboxylate) (MTBC) and two types of secondary building units (SBUs): cubic M8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4 and octahedral M6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4. While the M6-SBU is isostructural with the 12-connected octahedral SBUs of UiO-type MOFs, the M8-SBU is composed of eight MIV ions in a cubic fashion linked by eight μ2-oxo and four μ2-OH groups. The metalation of Zr-MTBC SBUs with CoCl2, followed by treatment with NaBEt3H, afforded highly active and reusable solid Zr-MTBC-CoH catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes, imines, carbonyls, and heterocycles. Zr-MTBC-CoH was impressively tolerant of a range of functional groups and displayed high activity in the hydrogenation of tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes with TON > 8000 for the hydrogenation of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene. Our structural and spectroscopic studies show that site isolation of and open environments around the cobalt-hydride catalytic species at Zr8-SBUs are responsible for high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of a wide range of challenging substrates. MOFs thus provide a novel platform for discovering and studying new single-site base-metal solid catalysts with enormous potential for sustainable chemical synthesis.

Au Nanoparticles Confined in SBA-15 as a Highly Efficient and Stable Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Quinoline to 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroquinoline

Abstract: Au nanoparticles confined within the mesopores of the modified SBA-15 were obtained through adsorption-reduction method and firstly employed as chemoselective catalyst for quinoline hydrogenation. The effects of Au loadings, calcination temperature as well as structure of support on catalytic performances of Au catalysts were explored. The as-obtained 1.2percentAu@SBA-15-500 catalyst exhibited high activity, excellent selectivity towards 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and extraordinary sintering-resistant property as high as 800?°C, which is sharp contrast to the 1.3percentAu/SiO2-500 catalyst. It also showed good recyclability and versatility for quinoline derivatives. The observed properties were assigned to small-sized Au nanoparticles and mesopores of SBA-15. Our work provides a facile and promising approach to construct metal nanocatalysts with high catalytic performance by the use of mesoporous materials.

Cobalt-bridged secondary building units in a titanium metal-organic framework catalyze cascade reduction of N-heteroarenes

We report here a novel Ti3-BPDC metal-organic framework (MOF) constructed from biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (BPDC) linkers and Ti3(OH)2 secondary building units (SBUs) with permanent porosity and large 1D channels. Ti-OH groups from neighboring SBUs point toward each other with an O-O distance of 2 ?, and upon deprotonation, act as the first bidentate SBU-based ligands to support CoII-hydride species for effective cascade reduction of N-heteroarenes (such as pyridines and quinolines) via sequential dearomative hydroboration and hydrogenation, affording piperidine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives with excellent activity (turnover number ～ 1980) and chemoselectivity.

STABILIZATION OF ACTIVE METAL CATALYSTS AT METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK NODES FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT ORGANIC TRANSFORMATIONS

Metal-organic framework (MOFs) compositions based on post?synthetic metalation of secondary building unit (SBU) terminal or bridging OH or OH2 groups with metal precursors or other post-synthetic manipulations are described. The MOFs provide a versatile family of recyclable and reusable single-site solid catalysts for catalyzing a variety of asymmetric organic transformations, including the regioselective boryiation and siiylation of benzyiic C—H bonds, the hydrogenation of aikenes, imines, carbonyls, nitroarenes, and heterocycles, hydroboration, hydrophosphination, and cyclization reactions. The solid catalysts can also be integrated into a flow reactor or a supercritical fluid reactor.

Selectivity in the Hydrogenation of 6- and 8-Substituted-quinolines

Quinoline (1) and the 6- or 8-substituted-quinolines (2)-(14) (R = Me, Pri, But, Ph, OMe, OH, CF3, or F) were hydrogenated catalytically on platinum under either weakly basic (solvent MeOH) or strongly acidic (solvent CF3CO2H) conditions.In methanol the only product was the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-compound.In trifluoroacetic acid, compounds hydrogenated in the benzene ring were isolated as major products; both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents at C-6 or C-8 cause (sometimes drastic) reduction in yield.The products were characterized by their 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectra.
