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.

Recycle and recovery of rhodium complexes with water-soluble and amphiphilic phosphines in ionic liquids for hydroformylation of 1-hexene

A biphasic catalysis system composed of ionic liquid and rhodium complexes with water-soluble or amphiphilic phosphine ligands bearing water-soluble groups of sodium sulfonate have been employed for hydroformylation of 1-hexene. The experimental results show that the activity is almost independent of the hydrotropicity of the phosphine ligands in BMI·BF₄. In this system, the extraction of phosphine species by the organics from the IL phase was quite low but larger than that of rhodium species and showed rather good stability of catalytic activity. A slight decrease in the aldehyde n/i ratio during the catalyst reuse could be recovered, in part, by replenishing certain amount of ligand into the used catalyst system.     

Aqueous/organic biphasic hydroformylation of 1‐octene catalyzed by Co2(CO)8/Ph2P(CH2CH2O)nMe

The aqueous/organic biphasic hydroformylation of 1‐octene catalyzed by Co₂(CO)₈/Ph₂P(CH₂CH₂O)_nMe, an in situ formed thermoregulated phase‐transfer cobalt catalyst, has been developed. The catalyst activity in this biphasic system was as high as that in the homogeneous system. The yield of oxo‐products was 93% when the reaction was carried out at 180 °C and under 4.0 MPa syngas pressure for 20 h. The catalyst could be easily recovered in the aqueous phase by decanting after the reaction system was cooled, and reused in consecutive reaction without any treatment. The loss of Co in the organic phase was less than 1% on average of five successive runs. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Revealing the mechanism of Rh(I)‐catalyzed hydroformylation of 4‐pyridylethene derivatives: DFT study

A comprehensive theoretical investigation into the mechanism of 1‐phenyl‐1‐(4‐pyridyl)ethene hydroformylation, using a rhodium catalyst employing a nonlocal density functional method (B3LYP), was carried out. The calculated results show that it is strongly exothermic by >90 kJ/mol of the whole catalytic cycle, and the rate‐limited step is H₂ oxidative addition. The regioselectivity originates from olefin insertion into the Rh? H bond. The predominant product is the regiospecifically 3‐phenyl‐3‐(4‐pyridal)propanal determined both thermodynamically and kinetically. These are in agreement with practicality experimental studies. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006     

水/有机两相体系长链烯烃氢甲酰化反应中TPPTS和TPPMS的协同效应

Rhodium‐catalysed hydroformylation of 1‐octene using aryl and ferrocenyl Schiff base‐derived ligands

Monometallic and heterobimetallic complexes of Rh(I) bearing chelating N ,O ‐bidentate aryl‐ and ferrocenyl‐derived ligands have been synthesised via Schiff base condensation reactions, and characterised fully using ¹H NMR, ¹³C{¹H} NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. The new monometallic and heterobimetallic complexes were evaluated as potential catalyst precursors in the hydroformylation of 1‐octene at 95°C and 40 bar. The ferrocenylimine mononuclear compounds were inactive in the hydroformylation experiments. The Rh(I) monometallic and the ferrocene–Rh(I) heterobimetallic pre‐catalysts displayed good activity and conversion of 1‐octene as well as outstanding chemoselectivity towards aldehydes in the hydroformylation reaction.     

Catalytic polymerization of phenylacetylene with dimeric [Rh(OMe)(cod)]2 complex in ionic liquids

Dimeric rhodium(I) complex [Rh(OMe)(cod)]₂ was found to be an active catalyst of phenylacetylene polymerization to poly(phenylacetylene) (PPA) in ionic liquids containing imidazolium or pyridinium cations. The highest yield of PPA (92%) was obtained in 1‐butyl‐4‐methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate as reaction medium. The yield of PPA in imidazolium ionic liquids containing BF₄^? or PF₆^? anions increased to 83–99% when Et₃N or cycloocta‐1,5‐diene were added as co‐catalysts. In 1‐methyl‐3‐octylimidazolium chloride (MOI · Cl) polymerization rate was much lower than in other ionic liquids, although the highest M_w (72 400) was obtained. Spectroscopic studies confirmed that [Rh(OMe)(cod)]₂ reacted with MOI · Cl forming new carbene Rh(I) complex, which can participate in the polymerization process.

A practical synthesis of 2‐aminobenzothiazoles via copper(I)‐catalyzed tandem reaction of 2‐iodoanilines with isothiocyanates in ionic liquids

A copper(I)‐catalyzed tandem reaction of 2‐iodoanilines with isothiocyanates was achieved in hydrophobic [bmim][PF₆] ionic liquid under mild conditions, generating a variety of 2‐aminobenzothiazoles in good to excellent yields. The tandem reaction that was carried out in [bmim][PF₆] has some obvious advantages such as accelerated reaction rate and increased yield as compared with the reaction run in volatile solvents such as toluene. Furthermore, the CuI/1,10‐phenanthroline catalytic system can be reused up to eight times without loss of activity and efficiency. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Iridium-catalyzed regiospecific allylation of dimethyl malonate in ionic liquids

Allylation of dimethyl malonate with 1-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enyl methyl carbonate in the presence of [Pd(All)Cl]₂, [Rh(COD)Cl]₂, [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ (COD is cycloocta-1,5-diene), and a chiral ferrocenyl-containing phosphite ligand based on (R)-BINOL (BINOL is 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl) in CH₂Cl₂ gave a mixture of linear and branched cross-coupling products, the latter having a moderate optical purity (below 51%). The rhodium-and iridium-catalyzed reactions were very highly regioselective (regiospecific in the case of Ir), giving a branched product. In ionic liquids ([bmim][BF₄] and [bdmim][BF₄]) (bmim is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and bdmim is 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium), the Ir-catalyzed reaction regiospecifically afforded a branched product as a racemate. The same result was obtained with [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ as a catalyst; this reaction easily occurred in ionic liquids even without a base. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A dinuclear phosphite rhodium(I) complex obtained by syngas treatment of a Rh/hydroxy phosphonite olefin hydroformylation precatalyst

A hydroxy phosphonite was found to be unstable during the catalyst preformation routine applied towards a rhodium olefin hydroformylation catalyst. C—P bond cleavage occurred when the phosphonite was reacted with [(acac)Rh(1,5‐COD)] (acac is acetyl acetate and 1,5‐COD is cycloocta‐1,5‐diene) at 80 °C and 20 bar of CO/H₂. As a result, a nearly planar six‐membered ring structure consisting of two rhodium(I) cations and two bridging phosphorous acid diester anions was formed, namely bis[μ‐(4,8‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,10‐dimethoxydibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin‐6‐yl)oxy]‐1:2κ²P:O;1:2κ²O:P‐bis{[6‐([1,1′‐biphenyl]‐2‐yloxy)‐4,8‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2,10‐dimethoxydibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine‐κP]carbonylrhodium(I)} toluene tetrasolvate, [Rh₂(C₂₂H₂₈O₅P)₂(C₃₄H₃₇O₅P)₂(CO)₂]·4C₇H₈. Further coordination of phosphite and of carbonyl groups resulted in 16‐electron rhodium centres.

The water‐soluble phosphine ligands, 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane (tpa) and 1‐alkyl‐1‐azonia‐3,5‐diaza‐7‐phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane iodides (Rtpa⁺I⁻), with alkyl=methyl(mtpa⁺I⁻), ethyl (etpa⁺I⁻) and n‐propyl, (ptpa⁺I⁻), and mtpa⁺Cl⁻ react with [Rh₂Cl₂(CO)₄] giving the rhodium(I) complexes [RhCl(CO)(tpa)₂], [RhI(CO)(Rtpa⁺I⁻)₂], [RhCl‐­(CO)(mtpa⁺Cl⁻)₃] and [RhI(CO)(Rtpa⁺I⁻)₃]. The properties and reactivities of the complexes have been investigated using ¹H and ³¹PNMR and IR spectroscopies. The five‐coordinate complexes in solutions show dynamic properties. The complexes are catalysts of the water‐gas shift reaction, the hydrogenation of CC and CO bonds, the hydroformylation of alkenes and the isomerization of unsaturated compounds.

Biphasic asymmetric hydroformylation and hydrogenation by water-soluble rhodium and ruthenium complexes of sulfonated (R)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl in ionic liquids

A biphasic catalytic system with water-soluble rhodium complexes of sulfonated (R)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (labeled as (R)-BINAPS) in ionic liquid BMI·BF₄ has been developed for the asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl acetate under mild conditions. The corresponding ruthenium complexes have been investigated for the biphasic asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate. The biphasic asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl acetate provided 28.2% conversion and 55.2% enantiomeric excess when BMI·BF₄–toluene was used as the reaction medium at 333 K and 1.0 MPa for 24 h. The biphasic asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate in BMI·BF₄–ⁱPrOH at 333 K and 2.0 MPa afforded 65% enantiomeric excess with an activity similar to the homogenous analogs. Both biphasic catalytic systems with (R)-BINAPS ligand could be reused several times without significantly decrease in the activity, enantio- and regio-selectivities. The effects of properties of ionic liquid, molar ratio of ligand to rhodium, temperature, pressure and reaction time have been discussed.     

1‐Dodecene Hydroformylation Catalyzed by Water Soluble Rhodium Phosphine Complex in Two‐Phase System

1‐Dodecene hydroformylation catalyzed by water soluble rhodium complex [RhCl(CO) (TPPTS)₂] was studied in the presence of TTPTS [P(m‐C₂H₄SO₃Na)₃] and CTAB (cetyltrimethyl ammonium). The influence of reaction parameters was discussed in detail based on micelle effect in biphasic system. The modification for the microcircumstance of micelle interface was conducted by the introduction of a catalyst promoter TPPDS [PhP(m‐C₂H₄SO₃Na)₂] into the reaction solution. A synergistic effect between TPPDS and TPPTS on the regioselectivity of 1‐dodecene hydroformylation was observed. The selectivity of linear aldehyde in the products was so high as 95.7% at the molar ratio of [TPPDS]/[TPPTS] = 0.5.     

Computational investigation of enantio‐ and regioselectivity of rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl formate with CHIRAPHOS‐type ligand

The potential energy profile for Rh‐catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl formate is mapped out using a nonlocal density functional method (B3LYP). This study focuses on the enantio‐ and regioselectivity of asymmetric hydroformylation. All the structures are optimized at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level(LANL2DZ(d) for Rh, P). As illustrated by computation, the olefin insertion step is irreversible because of higher activation free energy of the reverse reaction than that of forward reaction, so it is the determining step for both the regioselectivity and enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydroformylation. The lowest activation free energy in vinyl insertion is the path 2a → TS1a (ΔG^≠ = 47.92 kJ/mol), giving rise to the preferred product as (S)‐1‐formylenthyl formate. Throughout the catalytic cycle, the H₂ oxidative addition has the highest activation free energy, 77.24 kJ/mol, so it is the rate‐limiting step for the whole catalytic cycle. The calculation results are in agreement with many experiment investigations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005
