Reversible inhibition/activation of olefin metathesis: a kinetic investigation of ROMP and RCM reactions with Grubbs' catalyst

The metathesis activity of Grubbs' catalyst 1 was investigated in the presence of N-donor ligands (1-methylimidazole [MIM], 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine [DMAP], pyridine, and 1-octylimidazole [OIM]). Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions of cyclooctene (COE), bulk-ROMP reactions of COE and norbornadiene (NBD), and ring closing metathesis (RCM) reactions of diethyl diallylmalonate (DEDAM) were conducted containing various equivalents of N-donor with respect to catalyst. ROMP reactions could be stopped using MIM (1-5 equiv) and DMAP (2-5 equiv), and slowed with pyridine (1-5 equiv) by factors >100, in benzene solution for 24 h. The stopped reactions could be initiated with excess phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and the reactions proceeded faster than with uninhibited Grubbs' catalyst in the first 4 min after reactivation. Thereafter, the reaction proceeded at the same rate as the reaction with the uninhibited catalyst. ROMP reactions in neat COE and NBD could be inhibited for 72 h using 2 equiv of MIM, DMAP, or OIM and activated with H3PO4 to give polymer gels within minutes or less. RCM reactions could be completely inhibited with MIM (1-5 equiv), but upon treatment with H3PO4, the reaction would proceed at a fraction of the initial rate accomplished by uninhibited Grubbs' catalyst 1. A structural investigation of the inhibited species showed that MIM and DMAP completely or partially transform catalyst 1 into the hexacoordinate species 5a or 5b producing free PCy3, which additionally acts as an inhibitor for the ROMP reaction. Upon reactivation, the PCy3 is protonated along the N-donor ligand; however, over the period of 5 min, the phosphine has been found to coordinate back to the ruthenium catalyst. Therefore, the reaction slows to the same polymerization rate as the reaction using the uninhibited catalyst at this point. Complexes 5a and 5b were isolated, characterized, and employed in ROMP and RCM experiments where they exhibited very low catalytic activity.     

Catalytic asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions using alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrroles as highly reactive monodentate alpha,beta-unsaturated ester surrogates

Synthesis and application of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrroles as highly reactive, monodentate ester surrogates in the catalytic asymmetric epoxidation and Michael reactions are described. alpha,beta-Unsaturated N-acylpyrroles with various functional groups were synthesized by the Wittig reaction using ylide 2. A Sm(O-i-Pr)(3)/H(8)-BINOL complex was the most effective catalyst for the epoxidation to afford pyrrolyl epoxides in up to 100% yield and >99% ee. Catalyst loading was successfully reduced to as little as 0.02 mol % (substrate/catalyst = 5000). The high turnover frequency and high volumetric productivity of the present reaction are also noteworthy. In addition, a sequential Wittig olefination-catalytic asymmetric epoxidation reaction was developed, providing efficient one-pot access to optically active epoxides from various aldehydes in high yield and ee (96-->99%). In a direct catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction of hydroxyketone promoted by the Et(2)Zn/linked-BINOL complex, Michael adducts were obtained in good yield (74-97%), dr (69/31-95/5), and ee (73-95%). This represents the first direct catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction of unmodified ketone to an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative. The properties of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-acylpyrrole are also discussed. Finally, the utility of the N-acylpyrrole unit for further transformations is demonstrated.     

Syntheses and Properties of New Layered Alkali-Metal/Ammonium Vanadium(V) Methylphosphonates: M(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) (M = NH(4), K, Rb, Tl). Single-Crystal Structures of K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) and NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2)

The hydrothermal syntheses of a family of new alkali-metal/ammonium vanadium(V) methylphosphonates, M(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) (M = K, NH(4), Rb, Tl), are described. The crystal structures of K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) and NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) have been determined from single-crystal X-ray data. Crystal data: K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2), M(r) = 475.93, trigonal, R32 (No. 155), a = 7.139(3) ?, c = 19.109(5) ?, Z = 3; NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2), M(r) = 454.87, trigonal, R32 (No. 155), a = 7.150(3) ?, c = 19.459(5) ?, Z = 3. These isostructural, noncentrosymmetric phases are built up from hexagonal tungsten oxide (HTO) like sheets of vertex-sharing VO(6) octahedra, capped on both sides of the V/O sheets by PCH(3) entities (as [PO(3)CH(3)](2-) methylphosphonate groups). In both phases, the vanadium octahedra display a distinctive two short + two intermediate + two long V-O bond distance distribution within the VO(6) unit. Interlayer potassium or ammonium cations provide charge balance for the anionic (VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) sheets. Powder X-ray, TGA, IR, and Raman data for these phases are reported and discussed. The structures of K(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) and NH(4)(VO(2))(3)(PO(3)CH(3))(2) are compared and contrasted with related layered phases based on the HTO motif.     

Solid state coordination chemistry: structural consequences of variations in tether length in the oxovanadium-copper-bisterpy-[O3P(CH2)nPO3]4- system, n= 1-6 (bisterpy = 2,2':4',4'':2'',2'''-quarterpyridyl-6',6''-di-2-pyridine)

Hydrothermal reactions of Na3VO4, an appropriate Cu(II) source, bisterpy and an organodiphosphonate, H2O3P(CH2)nPO3H2 (n = 1-6) yielded a family of materials of the type [Cu2(bisterpy)]4+/VxOy(n-)/[O3P(CH2)nPO3]4-. This family of bimetallic oxides is characterized by an unusual structural diversity. The oxides [[Cu2(bisterpy)]V2O4[O3PCH2PO3H]2] (1), [[Cu2(bisterpy)(H2O)]VO2[O3P(CH2)3PO3][HO3P(CH2)3PO3H2]] (4) and [[Cu2(bisterpy)]V2O4[O3P(CH2)6PO3H]2].2H2O (7.2H2O) are one-dimensional, while [[Cu2(bisterpy)(H2O)2]V2O4[O3P(CH2)2PO3][HO3P(CH2)2PO3H]2] (2), [[Cu2(bisterpy)]V4O8[O3P(CH23PO3]2].4H2O (3.4H2O) and [[Cu2(bisterpy)]V2O4(OH)2[O3P(CH2)4PO3]].4H2O (5.4H2O) are two-dimensional. The V(IV) oxide [[Cu2(bisterpy)]V4O4[O3P(CH2)5PO3H]4].7.3H2O (6.7.3H2O) provides a relatively unusual example of a three-dimensional bimetallic oxide phosphonate. The structures reveal a variety of V/P/O substructures as building blocks.     

Oxo-vanadium(IV) dihydrogen phosphate: preparation, magnetic study, and heterogeneous catalytic epoxidation

A layered oxo-vanadium(IV) dihydrogen phosphate, {VO(H2PO 4)2} n has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by several physicochemical methods. Single-crystal X-ray analysis (crystal system, tetragonal; space group, P4/ ncc; unit cell dimensions, a = b = 8.9632(4), c = 7.9768(32) A) of {VO(H2PO4) 2} n reveals that the compound has an extended two-dimensional structure. The VO2+ moieties are connected through bridging H 2PO4 (-) ions, and this type of connection propagates parallel to the crystallographic ab plane which gives rise to a layered structure. The layers are staked parallel to the crystallographic c axis with a separation between the layers of ca. 4.0 A. Magnetic susceptibility of {VO(H2PO4)2} n has been measured in the temperature range 2-300 K on a SQUID magnetometer. The magnetic property of {VO(H2PO4)2} n is explicable in the light of a two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet model. Magnetic pathways are available through the dihydrogen-phosphato bridges within the layer and provide for weak antiferromagnetic interactions. Notably {VO(H2PO4)2} n catalyzes the epoxidation reaction of alkenes with tert-BuOOH in acetonitrile medium under heterogeneous condition.     

Direct asymmetric organocatalytic Michael reactions of alpha,alpha-disubstituted aldehydes with beta-nitrostyrenes for the synthesis of quaternary carbon-containing products

[reaction: see text] Direct asymmetric catalytic Michael reactions have been performed using chiral-amine/acid bifunctional catalysts. Performed with 0.3 equiv of (S)-(+)-1-(2-pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine and 0.3 equiv of trifluoroacetic acid as the catalyst, the reaction of alpha,alpha-dialkylaldehydes with (E)-beta-nitrostyrene provided the alpha,alpha-dialkyl Michael products in up to 96% yield with up to 91% ee. With respect to enantioselectivity, l-proline was a poor catalyst of this class of Michael reactions.

Solid state coordination chemistry of the copper(ii)-terpyridine/oxovanadium organophosphonate system: hydrothermal syntheses, structural characterization and magnetic properties

The hydrothermal reactions of CuSO4.5H2O, Na3VO4, 2,2':6':2'-terpyridine (terpy), and the appropriate organophosphonate ligand yield a series of materials of the Cu(ii)-terpy/oxovanadium organophosphonate family. The complexes exhibit distinct structures spanning one-, two- and three-dimensions and exhibiting diverse oxovanadium building blocks. Thus, [{Cu(terpy)}(V2O4)(O3PPh)(HO3PPh)2] (1) is one-dimensional and constructed from binuclear units of corner-sharing V(v) square pyramids. While [{Cu(terpy)}VO(O3PCH2PO3)] (2), [{Cu(terpy)}2(V4O10)(O3PCH2CH2PO3)] (3), and [{Cu(terpy)}(V2O4){O3P(CH2)3PO3}].2.5H(2)O (4.2.5H2O) are similarly one-dimensional, the V/O structural components consist of isolated V(iv) square pyramids, tetranuclear V(v) units of three tetrahedra and one square pyramid in a corner-sharing arrangement, and isolated V(v) tetrahedra and square pyramids, respectively. The second propylenediphosphonate derivative, [{Cu(terpy)}(V2O4){O3P(CH2)3PO3}] (5) is three-dimensional and exhibits isolated V(v) tetrahedra as the vanadate component. The two-dimensional structure of [{Cu(terpy)(H2O)}(V3O6){O3P(CH2)4PO3}] (6) is mixed valence with isolated V(iv) square pyramids and binuclear units of corner-sharing V(v) tetrahedra providing the V/O substructures.     

Explorations of new types of second-order nonlinear optical materials in Cd(Zn)-VV-TeIV-O Systems

Solid-state reactions of zinc(II) or cadmium(II) oxide, V(2)O(5), and TeO(2) at high temperature led to two novel quaternary compounds, namely, Zn(3)V(2)TeO(10) and Cd(4)V(2)Te(3)O(15). The structure of Zn(3)V(2)TeO(10) is a complicated three-dimensional (3D) network constructed by the interconnection of ZnO(5), ZnO(6), VO(4), and TeO(4) polyhedra via corner- and edge-sharing. Cd(4)V(2)Te(3)O(15) with an acentric structure features a 3D network in which the cadmium tellurite layers are further interconnected by both "isolated" VO(4) tetrahedra and one-dimensional (1D) vanadium oxide helical chains. Cd(4)V(2)Te(3)O(15) displays a second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of about 1.4 times that of KH(2)PO(4) (KDP). Both compounds are direct band-gap semiconductors and are transparent in the range of 0.6-10.0 mum. Measurements of luminescence indicate that both compounds exhibit broad emission bands in the blue-light region.     

Autoxidation-product-initiated dioxygenases: vanadium-based, record catalytic lifetime catechol dioxygenase catalysis

In recent work, it was shown that V-containing polyoxometalates such as (n-Bu4N)7SiW9V3O40 or (n-Bu4N)9P2W15V3O62, as well as eight other V-containing precatalysts tested, evolve to a high activity, long catalytic lifetime (> or = 30,000-100,000 total turnovers) 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol dioxygenase, in which Pierpont's complex [VO(DBSQ)(DTBC)]2 (where DBSQ is 3,5-di-tert-butylsemiquinone and DTBC is the 3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate dianion) was identified as a common catalyst or catalyst resting state (Yin, C.-X.; Finke, R. G. Vanadium-Based, Extended Catalytic Lifetime Catechol Dioxygenases: Evidence For a Common Catalyst. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127 (25), 9003-9013). Herein, those findings are followed up by studies aimed at answering the following questions about this record catalytic lifetime 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol dioxygenase catalyst: (i) What is the key to how V leaches from, for example, seemingly robust V-containing polyoxometalate precatalysts? (ii) What is the key to the sigmoidal, apparently autocatalytic kinetics observed? (iii) What can be learned about the underlying reactions that form [VO(DBSQ)(DTBC)]2? (iv) Finally, do the answers to (i-iii) lead to any broader insights or concepts? Key findings from the present work include the fact that the reaction involves a novel, autoxidation-product-induced dioxygenase, that is, one in which the undesired autoxidation of the 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol substrate to the corresponding benzoquinone and H2O2 turns on the desired dioxygenase catalysis via a V-leaching process which eventually yields Pierpont's complex, [VO(DBSQ)(DTBC)]2. Plausible reactions en route to [VO(DBSQ)(DTBC)]2 consistent with the kinetic data, the role of H2O2, and the relevant literature are provided. The results provide a prototype example of the little observed but likely more general concept of an autoxidation-product-initiated reaction. The results also provide considerable simplification of, and insight into, the previously disparate literature of V-based 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol dioxygenase catalysis.     

Structural characterization and DFT study of V(IV)O(acac)2 in imidazolium ionic liquids

We report the structural characterization of vanadyl acetylacetonate in imidazolium room temperature ionic liquids--bbimNTf(2), bmimNTf(2), C(3)OmimNTf(2), bm(2)imNTf(2), bmimPF(6), bmimOTf, bmimBF(4), bmimMeCO(2), bmimMeSO(4), bmimMe(2)PO(4) and bmimN(CN)(2)--and organic solvents. The complex was characterized by visible electronic (Vis) and EPR spectroscopies. VO(acac)(2) shows solvatochromism in the selected ionic liquids and behaves as in organic solvents, evidencing coordination of the ionic liquid anion in the solvents with higher coordinating ability. The Lewis basicity order obtained for the IL anions was: PF(6)(-) < NTf(2)(-) < OTf(-)≈ MeCO(2)(-) < MeSO(4)(-) < BF(4)(-)≈ N(CN)(2)(-) < Me(2)PO(4)(-). The solvent effect on the spectroscopic data was tentatively examined using linear solvation energy relationships based on the Kamlet-Taft solvent scale (α, β and π*), however no suitable correlation was found with all data. The EPR characterization showed the presence of two isomers in bmimOTf, bmimMeCO(2) and bmimMe(2)PO(4), suggesting coordination of the ionic liquid anions in both equatorial and axial positions. The full geometry optimization of cis-/trans-VO(acac)(2)(OTf)(-) and cis-/trans-VO(acac)(2)(OTf)(mmim) structures was done at the B3P86/6-31G* level of theory. The calculations confirm that the anion OTf(-) is able to coordinate to VO(acac)(2) with the trans isomer being more stable than the cis by 4.8 kcal mol(-1).     

Novel asymmetric michael addition of alpha-cyanopropionates to acrolein by the use of a bis(oxazolinyl)phenylstannane-derived rhodium(III) complex as a chiral Lewis acid catalyst

The rhodium complex prepared in situ by simply mixing [[RhCl(c-octene)2]2] and [(Phebox)SnMe3] (1) (Phebox = 2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl) was found to serve as an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric Michael addition of alpha-cyanopropionates (4) to acrolein under mild and neutral conditions. In the present catalytic system, both the temperature of catalyst preparation and the order of the addition of the substrates were very important for the catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. Detailed mechanistic studies of this catalytic system revealed that the [(Phebox)RhIII(SnMe3)Cl] complex (9), generated by oxidative addition of [[RhCl(c-octene)2]2] to 1, is an active catalyst and the turnover number (TON) of the present actual catalyst existing in a reaction mixture is greater than 10,000. The obtained (R) stereochemistry of the Michael adducts 5 can be explained by N-bonded enol intermediates C', which are formed by enolization of 4 bound to the Lewis acidic rhodium complex 9. We also found that the active catalyst 9 gradually decomposed in the presence of the remaining [[RhCl(c-octene)2]2] in the reaction mixture to form the catalytically nonactive [(Phebox)RhCl2] fragment A, whose structure was characterized by an X-ray crystallographic study after converting to the tBuNC complex 10.     

Mg-V-O 催化剂在环己烷氧化脱氢反应中的双晶相间协同效应

Immobilized Vanadium Histidine and Tryptophan Schiff Base Complexes on Modified Magnetite Nanoparticles as Epoxidation Catalyst

In this study, magnetically recoverable vanadium complexs designated as VO(Sal-Tryp)/AmpSCMNPs and VO(Sal-His)/AmpSCMNPs were prepared through immobilization of Schiff bases of histidine or tryptophan with salicylaldehyde on the surface of modified silica coated iron oxide magnetite nanoparticles with (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane as aminopropyl (Amp) spacer followed by complexation with VOSO₄. Characterization was carried out by chemical analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, XRD, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques. VO(Sal-Tryp)/AmpSCMNPs and VO(Sal-His)/AmpSCMNP were found to catalyze the epoxidation of allyl alcohols and olefins with tert-butyl hydroperoxide with excellent conversions and selectivities. Investigation of the stability and reusability revealed the heterogeneity character of the catalyst with no desorption during the course of epoxidation reactions. High yields, clean reactions, easily catalyst separation and recyclability of the solid catalyst are some advantages of this method.

Hydrothermal synthesis, thermal, and magnetic data on new alkaline vanadium phosphate My(VO)9 + x(PO4)4x(HPO4)12 - 4x with M = Cs+ (y = 5.29, x = 1) and M = NH4+, Rb+ (y approximately 5, x approximately 1)

Brownish platelet crystals of My(VO)9 + x(PO4)4x(HPO4)12 - 4x (M = Cs+, NH4+ and Rb+) were prepared hydrothermally.

Density functional studies on diimine chelated palladium complex catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction: the impact of Lewis base employed in transmetallation process

The transmetallation processes of disubstituted diimine (RN=CH-CH=NR) chelated palladium complexes catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of phenyl chloride (PhCl) and phenylboronic acid [B(OH)(2)Ph] in the presence of diverse Lewis bases (OH(-), F(-), O(t)Bu(-), CO(3)(2-) and PO(4)(3-)) were studied by DFT methods with the B3LYP functional. Activation strain model has also been employed to investigate the extent of deformation of the reactants including the catalyst in the transition state. The transmetallation processes for all the cases are exothermic. The energy barriers for the process with multivalent bases are smaller than that of univalent cases, while, the amounts of the released energies are on the opposite course. The high valent oxoanions such as CO(3)(2-) and PO(4)(3-) provide more versatile bonding modes in the processes. The flexibility of diimine either as mono- or bi-dentate ligand in the mechanism provides a valuable channel for lowering the energy barriers of this process. The simplicity and efficiency of this type of ligand make it a potential alternation to the most commonly used phosphine.     

Gaseous vanadium molybdate and tungstates: thermodynamic properties and structures

The stability of gaseous vanadium molybdate and vanadium tungstates was confirmed by high-temperature mass spectrometry. A number of gas-phase reactions involving vanadium-containing salts were studied. On the basis of equilibrium constants, the standard formation enthalpies of gaseous VMoO(4) (-676 ± 27 kJ/mol), VWO(3) (-331 ± 29 kJ/mol), and VWO(4) (-706 ± 23 kJ/mol) at 298 K were determined. A theoretical study of these salts revealed the structure with bidentate binding of the vanadium cation to the anion part to be the lowest-lying isomer, with a quartet spin state for VMoO(4) and VWO(4) molecules as well as a sextet spin state for the VWO(3) molecule. On the basis of critical analysis of the literature data concerning standard formation enthalpies of gaseous VO and VO(2), we adopted new values of Δ(f)H°(298) = 135 ± 10 kJ/mol for VO(g) and -185 ± 15.0 kJ/mol for VO(2)(g). Overall, the results obtained allowed us to estimate the standard formation enthalpy of VMoO(3) to be -318 kJ/mol with an accuracy near 40 kJ/mol.
