A novel liquid system of catalytic hydrogenation

On the basis that endothermic aqueous-phase reforming of oxygenated hydrocarbons for H2 produc- tion and exothermic liquid phase hydrogenation of organic compounds are carried out under extremely close conditions of temperature and pressure over the same type of catalyst, a novel liquid system of catalytic hydrogenation has been proposed, in which hydrogen produced from aqueous-phase re- forming of oxygenated hydrocarbons is in situ used for liquid phase hydrogenation of organic com- pounds. The usage of active hydrogen generated from aqueous-phase reforming of oxygenated hy- drocarbons for liquid catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds could lead to increasing the se- lectivity to H2 in the aqueous-phase reforming due to the prompt removal of hydrogen on the active centers of the catalyst. Meanwhile, this novel liquid system of catalytic hydrogenation might be a po- tential method to improve the selectivity to the desired product in liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation of organic compounds. On the other hand, for this novel liquid system of catalytic hydrogenation, some special facilities for H2 generation, storage and transportation in traditional liquid phase hydrogenation industry process are yet not needed. Thus, it would simplify the working process of liquid phase hy- drogenation and increase the energy usage and hydrogen productivity.

A computational investigation of the hydrogenation of imines catalyzed by rhodium thiolate complexes

The mechanism of imine hydrogenation catalyzed by thiolate complexes of Rh(III) bearing a hydrotris(3,5‐dimethylpyrazolyl)borato ligand has been investigated via the density functional theory calculations. The overall catalytic cycle for heterolytic cleavage of H₂ and hydrogenation of N‐benzylidenemethylamine by the model catalyst [TpRh(bdt)MeCN)] is presented in detail. The results show that the reaction proceeds via an ionic mechanism through three steps: formation of dihydrogen complex, protonation of imine and the hydride transfer process. Protonation of imine occurs after the formation of Rh(H)‐S(H) moiety. For the whole catalytic cycle, the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen is the step with the highest free energy barrier. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mechanistic analysis of the transition metal-catalyzed hydrogenation of imines and functionalized enamines

The asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral imines has been mainly studied on cationic rhodium or iridium complexes and involves the coordination of the nitrogen atom on the metal centre. Oxidative addition of dihydrogen followed by one hydride transfer onto the carbon atom produces a σ-bonded nitrogen-metal intermediate from which reductive elimination occurs with the second hydride to produce the amine. From all these reactivity studies we propose that in an early step a hydrogen atom transfer could occur on the nitrogen atom to generate an iminium species which coordinates the metal centre through the CN double bond. The Shvo catalyst, an active neutral ruthenium(II) complex, presents the particularity to transfer almost simultaneously a proton from the hydroxycyclopentadienyl ligand and a hydride bonded to the metal center. In this case too, we suggest the first proton transfer generates an iminium species.Morever, a few titanium complexes have been shown to catalyze the hydrogenation of imines.Concerning enamines, literature is rather scarce on catalytic success. On the contrary, many studies focused on hydrogenation of enamides, which represent functionalized enamines, and enantiomeric excesses very close to 100% have been obtained. Extensive studies of the effect of the (chiraldiphosphine)Rh⁺ framework on the asymmetric induction have shown that several reversible steps can occur related to the oxidative addition of dihydrogen before or after the coordination of the enamide; the irreversible step directly connected to the asymmetric induction is the formation of the chiral alkyl-rhodium species.

Iron phthalocyanine as new efficient catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of simple aldehydes and ketones

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of various aldehydes and ketones was studied using iron phthalocyanine catalyst, in order to substitute the typically used rare transition metals (Ir, Rh, Ru) with an easily available and less expensive metal. Iron phthalocyanine was found to be an efficient hydrogenation catalyst and its immobilized version was successfully prepared. The immobilized iron phthalocyanine was also active in the CTH reaction of various carbonyl compounds, and it was easy to handle and possible to recycle.

Metal-free asymmetric hydrogenation and hydrosilylation catalyzed by frustrated Lewis pairs

The activation of H₂ for the catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds is one of the most useful reactions in both academia and chemical industry, which has long been predominated by the transition-metal catalysis. However, metal-free hydrogen activation represents a formidable challenge, and has been less developed. The recent emerging chemistry of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) with a combination of sterically encumbered Lewis acids and Lewis bases provides a promising approach for metal-free hydrogenation due to their amazing abilities for the challenging H₂ activation. In the past several years, the hydrogenation of a wide range of unsaturated compounds using FLP catalysts has been successfully developed. Despite these advances, the corresponding asymmetric hydrogenation is just in its start-up step. Similar to the mode of HH bond activation, SiH bond can also be activated by FLPs for the hydrosilylation of ketones and imines. But its asymmetric version is also not well-solved. This Letter will outline the recent important progress of metal-free catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and hydrosilylation using FLP catalysts.     

Metal-free catalysts for hydrogenation of both small and large imines: a computational experiment

This study extends our previous work of using π-FLP strategy to develop metal-free hydrogenation catalysts. Using small MeN=CMe(2) imine (im1) as a model, we previously designed cat1 and cat2 catalysts. But it is unclear whether they are capable of catalyzing the hydrogenations of bulky imines. Using tBuN=C(H)Ph (im2) as a representative of large imines, we assessed the energetics of the cat1- and cat2-catalyzed im2 hydrogenations. The predicted energetics indicates that they can still catalyze large imine hydrogenations with experimentally accessible kinetic barriers, although the energetics becomes less favorable. To improve the catalysis, we proposed new catalysts (cat3 and cat4) by tailoring cat1 and cat2. The study indicates that cat3 and cat4 could have better performance for the hydrogenation of the bulky im2 than cat1 and cat2. Remarkably, cat3 and cat4 are also found suitable for small imine (im1) hydrogenation. Examining the hydrogen transfer substeps in the eight hydrogenations involved in this study, we observed that the mechanism for the hydrogen transfer step in the catalytic cycles depends on the steric effect between catalyst and substrate. The mechanism can be switched from stepwise one in the case of large steric effect (e.g.im2/cat2) to the concerted one in the case of small steric effect (e.g.im1/cat3). The new catalysts could be better targets for experimental realization because of their simpler constructions.     

Metal-free catalytic hydrogenation of polar substrates by frustrated Lewis pairs

In 2006, our group reported the first metal-free systems that reversibly activate hydrogen. This finding was extended to the discovery of "frustrated Lewis pair" (FLP) catalysts for hydrogenation. It is this catalysis that is the focal point of this article. The development and applications of such FLP hydrogenation catalysts are reviewed, and some previously unpublished data are reported. The scope of the substrates is expanded. Optimal conditions and functional group tolerance are considered and applied to targets of potential commercial significance. Recent developments in asymmetric FLP hydrogenations are also reviewed. The future of FLP hydrogenation catalysts is considered.
