Hydrogenation of Terminal Alkenes Catalyzed by Air-Stable Mn(I) Complexes Bearing an N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Based PCP Pincer Ligand.

ABSTRACT: Efficient hydrogenations of terminal alkenes with molecular hydrogen catalyzed by well-defined bench stable Mn(I) complexes containing an N-heterocyclic carbene-based PCP pincer ligand are described. These reactions are environmentally benign and atom economic, implementing an inexpensive, earth abundant non-precious metal catalyst. A range of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were efficiently converted into alkanes in good to excellent yields. The hydrogenation proceeds at 100 °C with catalyst loadings of 0.25-0.5 mol %, 2.5-5 mol % base (KO^t Bu) and a hydrogen pressure of 20 bar. Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of DFT calculations.

Borenium ion catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes with N-heterocyclic carbene-boranes.

Project description:Treatment of alkenes such as 3-hexene, 3-octene, and 1-cyclohexyl-1-butene with the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-derived borane 2 and catalytic HNTf(2) (Tf = trifluoromethanesulfonyl (CF(3)SO(2))) effects hydroboration at room temperature. With 3-hexene, surprisingly facile migration of the boron atom from C(3) of the hexyl group to C(2) was observed over a time scale of minutes to hours. Oxidative workup gave a mixture of alcohols containing 2-hexanol as the major product. A similar preference for the C(2) alcohol was observed after oxidative workup of the 3-octene and 1-cyclohexyl-1-butene hydroborations. NHC-borenium cations (or functional equivalents) are postulated as the species that accomplish the hydroborations, and the C(2) selective migrations are attributed to the four-center interconversion of borenium cations with cationic NHC-borane-olefin π-complexes.

Hydroboration of Terminal Alkynes Catalyzed by a Mn(I) Alkyl PCP Pincer Complex Following Two Diverging Pathways.

Project description:A stereo- and regioselective Mn(I)-catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane (HBPin) is described. The hydroboration reaction is highly Z-selective in the case of aryl alkynes and E-selective in the case of aliphatic alkynes. The reaction requires no additives or solvents and proceeds with a catalyst loading of 1 mol % at 50-70 °C. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl Mn(I) complex cis-[Mn(PCP-iPr)(CO)2(CH2CH2CH3)]. The catalytic process is initiated by the migratory insertion of a CO ligand into the Mn-alkyl bond to yield an acyl intermediate. This species undergoes C-H and B-H bond cleavage of the alkyne (aromatic alkynes) and HBPin (in the case of aliphatic alkynes) forming the active Mn(I) alkynyl and boryl catalysts [Mn(PCP-iPr)(CO)(C≡CR)] and [Mn(PCP-iPr)(CO)(BPin)], respectively. A broad variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkynes was efficiently and selectively borylated. Mechanistic insights are provided based on experimental data and DFT calculations. The functionalized alkenes can be used for further applications in cross-coupling reactions.

Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by Symmetric Imino-N-heterocyclic Carbene Co(III) Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis of new moisture-sensitive imine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor salts [1-(2-[(hydroxyl-benzylidene)-amino]-ethyl)-3-R-3H-imidazole-1-ium bromide; R = methyl (1a), ethyl (1b), and benzyl (1c)] is reported. Subsequent deprotonation of 1a-c and coordination of the in situ generated NHC ligands to CoBr2 led to the isolation of air-stable six-coordinate Co(III) complexes 2a-c, respectively. All the salts and complexes were fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2a and 2c showed octahedral Co centers hexacoordinated to two NHC carbons, two imine nitrogen atoms, and two phenolate oxygens in the form [C^N^O(Co3+)C^N^O]. The complexes were used in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of a range of ketones in 2-propanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor. Based on a low catalyst concentration of 0.4 mol %, significant conversions in the range of 70-99% were recorded at high turnover frequencies up to 1635 h-1. A mechanism to account for the steps involved in the CTH of cyclohexanone by complex 2a is proposed and supported by data from cyclic voltammetry, low-resolution mass spectrometry, UV, and IR spectroscopic techniques.

Transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes catalyzed by silyl hydrido iron complexes bearing a [PSiP] pincer ligand.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of a series of silyl hydrido iron complexes bearing a pincer-type [PSiP] ligand (2-R2PC6H4)2SiH2 (R = Ph (1) and iPr (5)) or (2-Ph2PC6H4)2SiMeH (2) were reported. Preligand 1 reacted with Fe(PMe3)4 to afford complex ((2-Ph2PC6H4)SiH)Fe(H)(PMe3)2 (3) in toluene, which was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. ((2-iPr2PC6H4)SiH)Fe(H)(PMe3) (6) could be obtained from the reaction of preligand 5 with Fe(PMe3)4 in toluene. Furthermore, complex ((2-iPr2PC6H4)Si(OMe))Fe(H)(PMe3) (7) was isolated by the reaction of complex 6 with 2 equiv. MeOH in THF. The molecular structure of complex 7 was also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Complexes 3, 4, 6 and 7 showed good to excellent catalytic activity for transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes under mild conditions, using 2-propanol as both solvent and hydrogen donor. α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes could be selectively reduced to corresponding α,β-unsaturated alcohols. The catalytic activity of penta-coordinate complex 6 or 7 is stronger than that of hexa-coordinate complex 3 or 4.

C-X (X = N, O) Cross-Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Copper-Pincer Bis(N-Heterocyclic Carbene) Complexes.

Project description:Over the last two decades, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-copper catalysts have received considerable attention in organic synthesis. Despite the popularity of copper complexes containing monodentate NHC ligands and recent development of poly(NHC) platforms, their application in C-C and C-heteroatom cross-coupling reactions has been limited. Recently, we reported an air-assisted Sonogashira-type cross-coupling catalyzed by well-defined cationic copper-pincer bis(NHC) complexes. Herein, we report the application of these complexes in Ullmann-type C-X (X = N, O) coupling of azoles and phenols with aryl halides in a relatively short reaction time. In contrast to other well-defined copper(I) catalysts that require an inert atmosphere for an efficient C-X coupling, the employed Cu(I)-pincer bis(NHC) complexes provide good to excellent yields in air. The air-assisted reactivity, unlike that in the Sonogashira reaction, is also affected by the base employed and the reaction time. With Cs2CO3 and K2CO3, the oxygen-generated catalyst is more reactive than the catalyst formed under argon in a short reaction time (12 h). However, the difference in reactivity is compromised after a 24 h reaction with K2CO3. The efficient pincer Cu-NHC/O2/Cs2CO3 system provides great to excellent cross-coupling yields for electronically diverse aryl iodides and imidazole derivatives. The catalyst scope is controlled by a balance between nucleophilicity, coordinating ability, and the steric hindrance of aryl halides and N-/O-nucleophiles.

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to Formate Catalyzed by a Bench-Stable, Non-Pincer-Type Mn(I) Alkylcarbonyl Complex.

Project description:The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is a process of growing interest for the use of this simple and abundant molecule as a renewable building block in C1-chemical synthesis and for hydrogen storage. The well-defined, bench-stable alkylcarbonyl Mn(I) bis(phosphine) complex fac-[Mn(CH2CH2CH3)(dippe)(CO)3] [dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane] was tested as an efficient and selective non-precious-metal precatalyst for the hydrogenation of CO2 to formate under mild conditions (75 bar total pressure, 80 °C), in the presence of a Lewis acid co-catalyst (LiOTf) and a base (DBU). Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Luminescent Iridium(III) Complexes Supported by N-Heterocyclic Carbene-based C^C^C-Pincer Ligands and Aromatic Diimines.

Project description:Iridium(III) hydrido complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based pincer ligand 1,3-bis(1-butylimidazolin-2-ylidene)phenyl anion (C(1)^C^C(1)) or 1,3-bis(3-butylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene)phenyl anion (C(2)^C^C(2)) and aromatic diimine (2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy), or dipyrido-[3,2-f:2',3'-h]-quinoxaline (dpq)) in the form of [Ir(C^C^C)(N^N)(H)](+) have been prepared. Crystal structures for these complexes show that the Ir-CNHC distances are 2.043(5)-2.056(5) Å. The hydride chemical shifts for complexes bearing C(1)^C^C(1) (-20.6 to -20.3 ppm) are more upfield than those with C(2)^C^C(2) (-19.5 and -19.2 ppm), revealing that C(1)^C^C(1) is a better electron donor than C(2)^C^C(2). Spectroscopic comparisons and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations suggest that the lowest-energy electronic transition associated with these complexes (λ = 340-530 nm (ε ≤ 10(3) dm(3) mol(-1) cm(-1))) originate from a dπ(Ir(III)) → π*(N^N) metal-to-ligand charge transfer transition, where the dπ(Ir(III)) level contain significant contribution from the C^C^C ligands. All these complexes are emissive in the yellow-spectral region (553-604 nm in CH3CN and CH2Cl2) upon photo-excitation with quantum yields of 10(-3)-10(-1).

Mn-Catalyzed Electrochemical Chloroalkylation of Alkenes.

Project description:The heterodifunctionalization of alkenes is an efficient method for synthesizing highly functionalized organic molecules. In this report, we describe the use of anodically coupled electrolysis for the catalytic chloroalkylation of alkenes-a reaction that constructs vicinal C-C and C-Cl bonds in a single synthetic operation-from malononitriles or cyanoacetates and NaCl. Knowledge of the persistent radical effect guided the reaction design and development. A series of controlled experiments, including divided-cell electrolysis that compartmentalized the anodic and cathodic events, allowed us to identify the key radical intermediates and the pathway to their electrocatalytic formation. Cyclic voltammetry data further support the proposed mechanism entailing the parallel, Mn-mediated generation of two radical intermediates in an anodically coupled electrolysis followed by their selective addition to the alkene.

Photoredox cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene/palladium-catalysed alkylacylation of alkenes.

Project description:Three-component carboacylation of simple alkenes with readily available reagents is challenging. Transition metal-catalysed intermolecular carboacylation works for alkenes with strained ring or directing groups. Herein, we develop a photoredox cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene/Pd-catalysed alkylacylation of simple alkenes with aldehydes and unactivated alkyl halides to provide ketones in good yields. This multicomponent coupling reaction features a wide scope of alkenes, broad functional group compatibility and free of exogenous photosensitizer or external reductant. In addition, a series of chlorinated cyclopropanes with one or two vicinal quaternary carbons is obtained when chloroform or carbon tetrachloride is used as the alkyl halide. The reaction involves the alkyl radicals from halides and the ketyl radicals from aldehydes under photoredox cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene/Pd catalysis.

Highly Enantioselective Iridium(I)-Catalyzed Hydrocarbonation of Alkenes: A Versatile Approach to Heterocyclic Systems Bearing Quaternary Stereocenters.

Project description:We report a versatile, highly enantioselective intramolecular hydrocarbonation reaction that provides a direct access to heteropolycyclic systems bearing chiral quaternary carbon stereocenters. The method, which relies on an iridium(I)/bisphosphine chiral catalyst, is particularly efficient for the synthesis of five-, six- and seven-membered fused indole and pyrrole products, bearing one and two stereocenters, with enantiomeric excesses of up to >99 %. DFT computational studies allowed to obtain a detailed mechanistic profile and identify a cluster of weak non-covalent interactions as key factors to control the enantioselectivity.
