Kinds of Precatalysts Selected AbstractsSimple Ruthenium Precatalyst for the Synthesis of Stilbene Derivatives and Ring-Closing Metathesis in the Presence of Styrene InitiatorsADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 4-5 2007Cheikh Lo Abstract The ruthenium complex RuCl2(p -cymene)(IMes) was found to be an efficient precatalyst, with styrene as an initiating species, for the alkene metathesis of various styrenes into symmetrical and unsymmetrical stilbene derivatives and for the ring-closing metathesis reaction of a sterically hindered olefin leading to a tetrasubstituted cycloolefin. [source] Ethylene/,-olefin copolymerization with bis(,-enaminoketonato) titanium complexes activated with modified methylaluminoxaneJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 24 2005Li-Ming Tang Abstract Copolymerizations of ethylene with ,-olefins (i.e., 1-hexene, 1-octene, allylbenzene, and 4-phenyl-1-butene) using the bis(,-enaminoketonato) titanium complexes [(Ph)NC(R2)CHC(R1)O]2TiCl2 (1a: R1 = CF3, R2 = CH3; 1b: R1 = Ph, R2 = CF3; and 1c: R1 = t -Bu, R2 = CF3), activated with modified methylaluminoxane as a cocatalyst, have been investigated. The catalyst activity, comonomer incorporation, and molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution of the polymers produced can be controlled over a wide range by the variation of the catalyst structure, ,-olefin, and reaction parameters such as the comonomer feed concentration. The substituents R1 and R2 of the ligands affect considerably both the catalyst activity and comonomer incorporation. Precatalyst 1a exhibits high catalytic activity and produces high-molecular-weight copolymers with high ,-olefin insertion. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

[source] Biaryls Made Easy: PEPPSI and the Kumada,Tamao,Corriu ReactionCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 1 2007Michael G. Organ Prof. Abstract An easily employed, highly versatile Kumada,Tamao,Corriu (KTC) protocol utilizing the PEPPSI (Pyridine, Enhanced, Precatalyst, Preparation, Stabilization and Initiation) precatalysts 1 and 2 is detailed. The ease-of-use of these catalysts and the synthesis of a wide range of hindered biaryls, large coupling partners and drug-like heterocycles, in high yield, makes the PEPPSI-KTC protocol very attractive. The high reactivity of the PEPPSI system allowed a tetra- ortho -substituted heterocycle, 11 to be synthesized at room temperature for the first time using any protocol. The PEPPSI protocols also tolerated the Boc protecting group and phenols required no protection in modified conditions. A relatively large scale (10 g) reaction was also performed with no loss in performance. Furthermore, PEPPSI-IPr, 1, was compared to previously reported highly active phosphine ligands 42, 43, and 44 and was shown to result in significantly better yields under identical conditions. Finally, we demonstrated that the PEPPSI catalyst system is very adept at performing sequential KTC coupling reactions, analogous to multicomponent reactions, which allow complex polyaryl and polyheteroaryl architectures to be produced in one single operation.

[source] Amino-phosphanes in RhI -Catalyzed Hydroformylation: New Mechanistic Insights Using D2O as Deuterium-Labeling AgentEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2006Jacques Andrieu Abstract In previous work, we have demonstrated that the dangling amino group in amino-phosphane ligands increases the rate of Rh-catalyzed styrene hydroformylation as a function of the amino group basicity and of the distance between the P and N functions. We now report additional stereochemical and mechanistic insights resulting from new catalytic experiments performed with Rh-,-P,N catalytic systems in the presence of D2O. In addition to the expected D0 product, the formation of the ,-D1 aldehyde, PhCH(CH2D)CHO was observed in all cases by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, indicating that H/D exchange occurs for the rhodium-hydride complex. Minor amounts of a ,-D2 product, PhCH(CHD2)CHO, were also formed under certain conditions, demonstrating the reversibility of the olefin coordination step. The composition of the aldehyde mixture is slightly affected by the nature of the catalytic precursor or the P,N ligand used. In the specific case of the ,-P,N ligand [,-P,N = (SAr,SC)-Ph2PCH{o -C6H4Cl(Cr(CO)3)}NHPh], in combination with the [RhCl(COD)]2 precatalyst, products PhCD(CH3)CHO (,-D1) and PhCD(CH2D)CHO (,,,-D2) were also produced. This result suggests a reversible deprotonation assisted by an intramolecular H-bonding interaction between the dangling ammonium function and the carbonyl moiety. This isotopic exchange process decreases the asymmetric induction from 14 to 7,% ee when using the enantiopure version of this ligand. Aldehydes bearing a D atom on the formyl group, e.g. PhCH(CH3)CDO, were never observed. The latter observation excludes protonolysis of the rhodium-acyl intermediate as the aldehyde forming step. In addition, it also excludes a bimolecular reaction involving the rhodium-acyl and rhodium-hydride intermediates.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The novel ligand design concept is based on iminohydroxamic acids and their derivatives as the principal chelating units. Various anionic and neutral [N,O] and [N,N] ligand systems are easily accessible by a modular synthetic sequence of imidoyl chlorides with substituted hydroxylamines or hydrazines, respectively. Steric protection of the metal coordination site, a necessary requirement for suppression of chain termination pathways of non-metallocene catalysts, is brought about by bulky aryl substituents on the imino nitrogen atoms. Crystal structures of some of the hydroxamato ligands reveal interesting intermolecular hydrogen-bridged structures, whereas in the solid-state structure of one titanium precatalyst a five-membered chelate was observed, in line with the design principle of these systems. Preliminary ethylene polymerization studies with methylaluminoxane-activated metal complexes (M = Ti, Zr, V, Ni) show that the most active systems are [N,O]NiBr2 catalysts containing neutral O -alkyl iminohydroxamate ligands.

Diminished levels of chirality transfer were observed in cases of N -protected substrates, which may be the result of partial epimerization of the allene in the presence of the gold precatalyst. The low reactivity of the intramolecular hydroamination of unprotected ,-aminoallenes with AuCl3 was improved by use of gold(I) halides as the precatalyst. Mechanistic studies suggest that a gold(I) compound (formed by oxidation of the aminoallene) is the catalytically active species even if the reaction is started with a gold(III) precatalyst.

Enantiodivergent stereochemical outcomes are observed using 2-phenylphenol and benzhydrol in the NHC-promoted esterification reaction using a triazolium precatalyst derived from pyroglutamic acid, consistent with distinct mechanistic pathways operating within these processes. [source] Ruthenium Catalysts for Controlled Mono- and Bis-Allylation of Active Methylene Compounds with Aliphatic Allylic SubstratesADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 16 2009Hui-Jun Zhang Abstract The allylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and malononitrile with aliphatic allylic substrates is achieved under mild conditions in the presence of new ruthenium catalysts. The ruthenium complex [Ru(C5Me5)(2-quinolinecarboxylato)(CH2CHCH- n -Pr)],[BF4] as a precatalyst, allows the synthesis of mono-allylated branched derivatives. On the other hand, the parent complex [Ru(C5Me5)(MeCN)3],[PF6] as a precatalyst, straightforwardly favours the bis-allylation of the procarbonucleophiles leading to bis-allylated bis-linear products. The involvement of the two precatalysts provides a sequential synthesis of unsymmetrical mixed linear-branched bis-allylated derivatives.

The bisylidene prepared therefrom in situ upon deprotonation is a potent precatalyst in palladium-catalyzed Heck and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions under aerobic conditions, and is efficient even with a ppm scale catalyst loading. Its stronger ,-donor character is held to be responsible for its superior catalytic performance compared with imidazole- and benzimidazole-based analogues bearing the same skeleton precursors.

[source] Ligand Influence on Metathesis Activity of Ruthenium Carbene Catalysts: A DFT StudyADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1-2 2007Bernd Abstract A survey of the concept of active and inactive ligand conformations in ruthenium alkene carbene complexes of the Grubbs catalyst type is presented. This concept is extended to a variety of anionic ligand atoms. Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/LACV3P**+//B3LYP/LACVP* level of theory were performed on the precatalyst, 14 valence-electron intermediate, alkene carbene conformers and ruthena(IV)cyclobutane model intermediates for several ligands, such as methoxide, methanethiolate, fluoride, mesylate, water, and ammonia. The rule of the superiority of metathesis catalysts with small and electron-withdrawing halogens does not apply to fluoride ligands. Alkoxides and thiolates also destabilize active carbene conformations, while mesylate ligands lead to a balanced energetic relation of active and inactive carbene orientations. Cationic ruthenium carbene species with aqua or ammine ligands are limited by unfavored ligand dissociation to 14 valence-electron intermediates. A guideline for the design of novel ligand systems for ruthenium carbene complexes as metathesis catalysts is proposed.

Detailed analysis of polymers produced in the presence of dialkylzinc compounds gave other indirect but equally strong evidence of alkyl exchange.

[source] Heterogeneous Versus Homogeneous Palladium Catalysts for Ligandless Mizoroki,Heck Reactions: A Comparison of Batch/Microwave and Continuous-Flow ProcessingCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 4 2009Abstract Mizoroki,Heck couplings of aryl iodides and bromides with butyl acrylate were investigated as model systems to perform transition-metal-catalyzed transformations in continuous-flow mode. As a suitable ligandless catalyst system for the Mizoroki,Heck couplings both heterogeneous and homogeneous Pd catalysts (Pd/C and Pd acetate) were considered. In batch mode, full conversion with excellent selectivity for coupling was achieved applying high-temperature microwave conditions with Pd levels as low as 10,3,mol,%. In continuous-flow mode with Pd/C as a catalyst, significant Pd leaching from the heterogeneous catalyst was observed as these Mizoroki,Heck couplings proceed by a homogeneous mechanism involving soluble Pd colloids/nanoparticles. By applying low levels of Pd acetate as homogeneous Pd precatalyst, successful continuous-flow Mizoroki,Heck transformations were performed in a high-temperature/pressure flow reactor. For both aryl iodides and bromides, high isolated product yields of the cinnamic esters were obtained. Mechanistic issues involving the Pd-catalyzed Mizoroki,Heck reactions are discussed. [source] |
