Synthesis and characterization of new complexes of the type [Ru(CO)2Cl2 (2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐kN) (2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐kN′)]. Preliminary applications in homogeneous catalysis

Novel ruthenium (II) complexes were prepared containing 2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine derivatives. The coordination modes of these ligands were modified by addition of coordinating solvents such as water into the ethanolic reaction media. Under these conditions 1,8‐naphthyridine (napy) moieties act as monodentade ligands forming unusual [Ru(CO)₂Cl₂(η¹‐2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐ kN )(η¹‐2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐kN′)] complexes. The reaction was reproducible when different 2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine derivatives were used. On the other hand, when dry ethanol was used as the solvent we obtained complexes with napy moieties acting as a chelating ligand. The structures proposed for these complexes were supported by NMR spectra, and the presence of two ligands in the [Ru(CO)₂Cl₂(η¹‐2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐ kN )(η¹‐2‐phenyl‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐kN′)] type complexes was confirmed using elemental analysis. All complexes were tested as catalysts in the hydroformylation of styrene showing moderate activity in N,N′‐dimethylformamide. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hydroformylation of methyl-3-pentenoate over a phosphite ligand modified Rh/SiO2 catalyst

A phosphite ligand modified Rh/SiO2 catalyst has been developed for hydroformylation of internal olefins to linear aldehydes, which showed high activity and regioselectivity and could be separated easily by filtration after reaction in an autoclave. Effects of reaction temperature and syngas pressure on the performances of the catalyst in the reaction were also investigated.     

Characteristic reactions of group 9 transition metal compounds in organic synthesis

Group 9 metal compounds in organic synthesis have two characteristic reactions. The first occurs because the group 9 metals have a high affinity to carbon–carbon or carbon–nitrogen π‐bonds. The first type of characteristic reactions in these group 9 metal compounds includes Pauson–Khand reactions, the Pauson–Khand‐type reactions ([2 + 2 + 1] cyclization), the other cyclizations and coupling reactions. The second occurs because the group 9 metals have a high affinity to carbonyl groups. The second type of characteristic reactions includes carbonylations such as hydroformylations, the carbonylations of methanol, amidocarbonylations and other carbonylations. The first characteristic reactions are applied for the synthesis of fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the second characteristic reactions are utilized not only for fine chemicals but also for important bulk commodity chemicals such as aldehydes, carboxylic acids and alcohols.

A General Approach to Aza‐Heterocycles by Means of Domino Sequences Driven by Hydroformylation

The development of hydroformylative domino reactions of easily accessible vinyl acetamides is described. Extremely regioselective hydroformylation of terminal double bounds provides a transient N‐acyliminium that can be trapped by various nucleophiles to give several aza‐heterocylic scaffolds in a diastereoselective manner.     

高活性离子液体-铑膦络合物体系催化1-己烯氢甲酰化反应

 The hydroformylation of 1-hexene catalyzed by rhodium-TPPTS complexes in the ionic liquid [bmim]BF4 was studied. The activity and selectivity of the rhodium-TPPTS complexes in [bmim]BF4 were much higher than those reported in other ionic liquids. The TOF of 1-hexene and selectivity for aldehyde were 1508 h-1 and 92%, respectively, under the optimum conditions. The high activity of the catalyst is ascribed to the absence of halide ions as well as the much higher solubility of hydrogen and rhodium-TPPTS complexes in [bmim]BF4 than in [bmim]PF6.

Evidence of colloidal rhodium formation during the biphasic hydroformylation of 1‐octene with thermoregulated phase‐transfer phosphine rhodium(I) catalyst

A thermoregulated phase‐transfer (TRPT) Rh(I) complex catalyst A prepared from Rh(acac)(CO)₂ and a thermoregulated ligand CH₃(OCH₂CH₂)_mPPh₂ (M_w = 918) was applied to the biphasic hydroformylation of 1‐octene, and a high activity with an aldehyde yield of 97.5% was demonstrated. After three recycling steps, the aldehyde yield gradually decreased. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that after the first cycle Rh colloids were generated in situ in the aqueous phase, and in subsequent runs Ostwald ripening occurred. An independently prepared colloidal Rh(0) TRPT catalyst D also exhibited high hydroformylation activity under identical experimental conditions, and after two times of recycling an activity decrease was also observed. It is suggested that in situ from Rh(acac)(CO)₂ colloidal Rh particles are generated, which demonstrate thermomorphic behaviour and a high hydroformylation activity. Subsequently, agglomeration processes result in an activity decay, as observed in the TRPT Rh(I) complex catalyst system. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
