Polymeric catalysts for chemo- and enantioselective epoxidation of olefins: New crosslinked chiral transition metal complexing polymers

Polymeric analogs of well-known chiral Mn(III)-salen complexes were synthesized and were used as recyclable catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. For this purpose two different monomers, 2 and 3 , bearing chiral Mn(III)-salen moieties were synthesized. The monomer 3 carries a bulky substituent closer to the Schiff base moiety, while monomer 2 lacks such a substituent. These metal complexed chiral monomers were subsequently copolymerized with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate producing insoluble crosslinked functional matrices that possess macroporous morphology. Chemo- and enantioselective catalytic activities of these two polymers were evaluated for epoxidation of olefins. Both polymers catalyzed the epoxidation of a variety of olefins at room temperature in the presence of iodosylbenzene (PhIO) as the terminal oxidant with yields comparable to the homogenous system. In terms of their enantioselective catalytic activity, polymer P-2 (obtained from 3 ) performed better than polymer P-1 (obtained from 2 ). Unfortunately, while the homogeneous systems are reported to offer over 80% enantioselectivity, with the present polymeric catalysts, enantioselectivity to a maximum of 30% were observed. Unlike the homogeneous system, use of an external nitrogenous donor played a very insignificant role in influencing enantioselectivity. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Simple iron catalyst for terminal alkene epoxidation

[reaction: see text] A mu-oxo-iron(III) dimer, [((phen)(2)(H(2)O)Fe(III))(2)(mu-O)](ClO(4))(4), is an efficient epoxidation catalyst for a wide range of alkenes, including terminal alkenes, using peracetic acid as the oxidant. Low catalyst loadings, in situ catalyst preparation from common reagents, fast reaction times (<5 min at 0 degrees C), and enhanced reaction performance at high substrate concentrations combine to create a temporally and synthetically efficient procedure for alkene epoxidation.     

Pore tuned activated carbons as supports for an enantioselective molecular catalyst

The Jacobsen catalyst was immobilized onto four activated carbons with different average pore sizes, achieved by a gasification process followed by molecular oxygen oxidation. The influence of the textural properties of the activated carbon in the immobilization process and in the catalytic performance of the Mn(III) heterogeneous catalysts was investigated in detail. Three different catalytic systems were studied: styrene epoxidation using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid; 6-CN-2,2-diMeChromene epoxidation using NaOCl and iodosylbenzene (PhIO) as oxidants. The catalysts tested were active and enantioselective in the three systems studied. Selectivity towards the desired epoxide only decreases in the case of the material with smaller pores, remaining identical to that of the homogeneous phase in all the other materials. The enantiomeric excess values (%ee) for alkene epoxidation increase with the pore size of the heterogeneous catalysts, and these values are even higher than the homogeneous counterparts in the styrene epoxidation reaction. Total Mn(III) loadings increase with the pore size, as well as their distribution within the carbon porous matrix. Characterization of the activated carbons bearing the immobilized manganese(III) complexes by TPD and XPS point to reaction between carbon surface phenolate groups and the manganese(III) complexes through axial coordination of the metal centers to these groups.     

Epoxidation of alkenes and oxidation of alcohols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a manganese(V) nitrido complex

The manganese(V) nitrido complex (PPh(4))(2)[Mn(N)(CN)(4)] is an active catalyst for alkene epoxidation and alcohol oxidation using H(2)O(2) as an oxidant. The catalytic oxidation is greatly enhanced by the addition of just one equivalent of acetic acid. The oxidation of ethene by this system has been studied computationally by the DFT method.     

Influence of the built-in pyridinium salt on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes catalysed by chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes

Chiral (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes 1 with an N-benzoyl group and 2 with an N-isonicotinoyl group as well as the corresponding N-methyl (3) and N-benzyl (4) pyridinium salts of 2 were synthesized. The catalytic properties of 1–4 and 2 with excess CH₃I were explored to figure out the influence of the internal pyridinium salt in the catalyst on asymmetric epoxidation of substituted chromenes with NaClO/PPNO as an oxidant system in the aqueous/organic biphasic medium. The (pyrrolidine salen)Mn(III) complexes with an internal pyridinium salt, either formed in situ or isolated, displayed higher activities than analogous complexes 1, 2 and Jacobsen's catalyst in the aforementioned reaction, with comparable high yields and ee values. The acceleration of the reaction rate is attributed to the phase transfer capability of the built-in pyridinium salt of the (salen)Mn(III) catalyst. The effect of the internal pyridinium salt on the epoxidation of substituted chromenes is similar to that of the external pyridinium salts and ammonium halides.     

Asymmetric Mn(III)-salen catalyzed epoxidation of unfunctionalized alkenes with in situ generated peroxycarboxylic acids

Unfunctionalized aromatic alkenes were enantioselectively epoxidized with peroxycarboxylic acids prepared in situ from urea-H₂O₂ (and other anhydrous adducts of H₂O₂) and carboxylic acid anhydrides (maleic, phthalic, and acetic anhydride) using chiral Mn(III)-salen complexes as catalysts and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) as an additive. Experimental results were compared with those reported earlier that employed aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant and the method presented here was found to offer both higher enantioselectivities and shorter reaction times. This novel epoxidation system was also compared with the Jacobsen’s MCPBA/NMO system, and some differences in reactivity and selectivity were observed. These differences could possibly be explained assuming the presence of alternative mechanistic pathways during the catalytic cycle of the asymmetric epoxidation.     

Predictions of geometries and multiplicities of the manganese-oxo intermediates in the Jacobsen epoxidation

[formula: see text] The geometries and multiplicities of models of the manganese(III)-salen catalyst and the manganese(V)-oxo Intermediate in the Jacobsen epoxidation were explored with density functional theory (Becke3LYP). Mn(III) complexes are quintet ground states, while ligands influence whether quintet, triplet, or singlet states are lowest in energy for Mn(V)-oxo complexes. Geometries and multiplicities and their implications for stereoselectivity are described.     

Catalytic sulfoxidation and epoxidation with a Mn(III) triazacorrole: evidence for a "third oxidant" in high-valent porphyrinoid oxidations

The reaction between (TBP)8(Cz)Mn(III) (1) and the oxygen atom donors iodosylbenzene (PhIO) or p-cyanodimethylaniline-N-oxide (CDMANO) leads to the manganese(V)-oxo complex (TBP)8(Cz)Mn(V)O (2), which has been isolated and characterized previously. Under catalytic conditions with 1 as added catalyst and PhIO as oxidant, both sulfoxidation of PhSMe and epoxidation of cis-stilbene is observed, whereas with CDMANO no sulfoxidation takes place, suggesting that 2 is not the active oxidant. Examination of the independent reactivity of isolated 2 toward PhSMe and cis-stilbene supports this conclusion. A mechanism which relies on a novel type of oxidant involving Lewis acid activation of PhIO by the Mn(V)-oxo complex 2 accounts for these observations and is confirmed by 18O-labeling experiments.     

Manganese-catalyzed epoxidations of alkenes in bicarbonate solutions

This paper describes a method, discovered and refined by parallel screening, for the epoxidation of alkenes. It uses hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant, is promoted by catalytic amounts (1.0-0.1 mol %) of manganese(2+) salts, and must be performed using at least catalytic amounts of bicarbonate buffer. Peroxymonocarbonate, HCO(4)(-), forms in the reaction, but without manganese, minimal epoxidation activity is observed in the solvents used for this research, that is, DMF and (t)BuOH. More than 30 d-block and f-block transition metal salts were screened for epoxidation activity under similar conditions, but the best catalyst found was MnSO(4). EPR studies show that Mn(2+) is initially consumed in the catalytic reaction but is regenerated toward the end of the process when presumably the hydrogen peroxide is spent. A variety of aryl-substituted, cyclic, and trialkyl-substituted alkenes were epoxidized under these conditions using 10 equiv of hydrogen peroxide, but monoalkyl-alkenes were not. To improve the substrate scope, and to increase the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide consumption, 68 diverse compounds were screened to find additives that would enhance the rate of the epoxidation reaction relative to a competing disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide. Successful additives were 6 mol % sodium acetate in the (t)BuOH system and 4 mol % salicylic acid in the DMF system. These additives enhanced the rate of the desired epoxidation reaction by 2-3 times. Reactions performed in the presence of these additives require less hydrogen peroxide and shorter reaction times, and they enhance the yields obtained from less reactive alkene substrates. Possible mechanisms for the reaction are discussed.     

Energy-gaining formation and catalytic behavior of active structures in a SiO(2)-supported unsaturated Ru complex catalyst for alkene epoxidation by DFT calculations

The formation and catalytic behavior of active structures in a SiO(2)-supported unsaturated Ru complex catalyst for alkene epoxidation were studied by means of hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations. An energy-gaining route for the catalyst activation was found to allow the formation of active unsaturated Ru complexes and the remarkable alkene epoxidation via an exothermic reaction path between isobutyraldehyde and oxygen. In the proposed Bartlett mechanism, Ru promotes the formation of peracid intermediate and facilitates the intermolecular hydrogen transfer in the peracid intermediate, while alkene molecules do not directly coordinate to the Ru site. It was found that stilbene epoxidation is easier to achieve than ethene epoxidation thanks to the electron donating phenyl groups.     

A dynamic supramolecular system exhibiting substrate selectivity in the catalytic epoxidation of olefins

A dynamic supramolecular system involving hydrogen bonding between a Mn(III) salen catalyst and a Zn(II) porphyrin receptor exhibits selectivity for pyridine appended cis-beta-substituted styrene derivatives over phenyl appended derivatives in a catalytic epoxidation reaction.     

Oxaziridine-mediated catalytic hydroxylation of unactivated 3 degrees C-H bonds using hydrogen peroxide

The design, structural characterization, and evaluation of a unique class of 1,2,3-benzoxathiazine-based oxaziridines as potent O-atom transfer agents for catalytic C-H hydroxylation and alkene epoxidation are described. Turnover of this reaction is made possible by employing a diaryl diselenide cocatalyst and urea.H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. Oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons is strongly biased toward 3 degrees C-H bonds even in systems possessing a significantly greater number of methylene groups. In addition, the benzoxathiazine catalyst is effective for epoxidation of terminal and electron-deficient olefins. Collectively, these findings represent an important first step toward the advancement of general methodology for selective C-H oxidation.     

Styrene epoxidation over a SBA-15-supported Mn(III) Schiff-base complex

2,4-Di-tert-butyl-6-((E)-(propylimino)methyl)phenol as a Schiff-base ligand was immobilized onto an amino-functionalized SBA-15 through the reaction between di-tert-butyl-salicylaldahyde and the tethered amino group. The Mn(III) metal complex of the immobilized Schiff-base ligand was proven to be an active catalyst for the epoxidation of styrene withtert-butyl hydroperoxide as a terminal oxidant. The catalysts behaved as an oxidation catalyst in the epoxidation and could be used many times without structural degradation, leaching of active manganese species and significant activity loss. It has been concluded that the reversible redox cycles of the metal center play a key role during the epoxidation reaction, as well as in the reusability of the catalysts.     

Mn(III) complexes with tridentate N,N,O-ligands as catalysts for the epoxidation of alkenes

Mn(III) complexes with tridentate Schiff bases have been prepared and applied as catalyst precursors in epoxidation of alkenes using iodosobenzene as an oxidant providing high conversions and high selectivities when cyclohexene derivatives were studied.     

Catalytic epoxidation of cyclohexene by covalently linked manganese porphyrin–viologen complex

When a viologen-linked Mn(III)porphyrin complex with a short methylene-chain, in which a viologen is covalently linked by the methylene-chain into one phenyl group of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatomanganese(III)chloride (Mn(III)(tpp)Cl), was used as a catalyst for a monooxygenation of cyclohexene in an air-equilibrated acetonitrile solution containing insoluble zinc powder as a reductant, more cyclohexene oxide was obtained as a single product than when Mn(tpp)Cl was used as a catalyst. Benzoic acid as a cleaving reagent of the dioxygen double-bond and 1-methylimidazole as a ligand to Mn porphyrin were further contained in the reaction mixture. This result implies that the viologen moiety in the viologen-linked Mn(III)porphyrin acted effectively as a mediator for electron transfer from zinc powder to the Mn(III)porphyrin moiety in the epoxidation cycle activating molecular dioxygen reductively. Though Mn(tpp)Cl was remarkably demetallated by H⁺ ion from benzoic acid during the epoxidation reaction in the mixed system of Mn(III)(tpp)Cl and viologen, the demetallation of the viologen-linked Mn porphyrin with the short methylene-chain was partly prevented because the reduction of a Mn(II)porphyrin-dioxygen adduct was easily caused by fast intramolecular electron-transfer between the two moieties of the viologen and the Mn porphyrin, proceeding the epoxidation cycle smoothly.     

Aldehyde-catalyzed epoxidation of unactivated alkenes with aqueous hydrogen peroxide

The organocatalytic epoxidation of unactivated alkenes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide provides various indispensable products and intermediates in a sustainable manner. While formyl functionalities typically undergo irreversible oxidations when activating an oxidant, an atropisomeric two-axis aldehyde capable of catalytic turnover was identified for high-yielding epoxidations of cyclic and acyclic alkenes. The relative configuration of the stereogenic axes of the catalyst and the resulting proximity of the aldehyde and backbone residues resulted in high catalytic efficiencies. Mechanistic studies support a non-radical alkene oxidation by an aldehyde-derived dioxirane intermediate generated from hydrogen peroxide through the Payne and Criegee intermediates.

An atropisomeric two-axis aldehyde is capable of catalysing the organocatalytic epoxidation of unactivated alkenes using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant.     

A supramolecular approach to an allosteric catalyst

The design and synthesis of a novel, supramolecular allosteric catalyst system, assembled via the weak-link approach, is presented. The catalyst contains two structural Rh(I) centers in thioether- and phosphine-rich hemilabile pockets, and two functional Cr(III) centers bound within salen-based moieties. The catalytic properties of the supramolecular catalyst are compared to those of a Cr(III)-salen monomeric analogue in the context of the asymmetric ring opening of cyclohexene oxide by TMSN3. Allosteric control is afforded via reactions that occur at distal sites which open the macrocyclic cavity and facilitate the catalytic reaction. Kinetic data show a significant rate increase upon opening of the catalyst's flexible macrocyclic cavity and enhanced selectivity and reactivity with respect to the monomeric Cr(III)-salen analogue. The work presented represents a new approach to the construction of abiotic allosteric catalysts.
