Ferrous efficiency : New achiral and chiral iron complexes containing P‐N‐N‐P diiminodiphosphine ligands display high activity—and in the case of the catalyst shown, high enantioselectivity—in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of ketones. This is an important step in the journey to replace precious and toxic platinum metal catalysts with cheap and environmentally friendly iron compounds.
Summary. Six [RuCl2(1-alkylbenzimidazole)(p-cymene)] complexes have been prepared and the new compounds characterized by C, H, N analyses, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. The reduction of ketones to alcohols via transfer hydrogenation was achieved with catalytic amounts of the complexes in the presence of t-BuOK. 相似文献
While ruthenium(II) arene complexes have been widely investigated for their potential in catalytic transfer hydrogenation, studies on homologous compounds replacing the arene ligand with the six-electron donor tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane (tpm) are almost absent in the literature. The reactions of [RuCl(κ3-tpm)(PPh3)2]Cl, 1 , with a series of nitrogen ligands (L) proceeded with selective PPh3 mono-substitution, affording the novel complexes [RuCl(κ3-tpm)(PPh3)(L)]Cl (L=NCMe, 2 ; NCPh, 3 ; imidazole, 4 ) in almost quantitative yields. Products 2 – 4 were fully characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, moreover the molecular structure of 4 was ascertained by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 2 – 4 were evaluated as catalytic precursors in the transfer hydrogenation of a series of ketones with isopropanol as the hydrogen source, and 2 exhibited the highest activity. Extensive NMR experiments and DFT calculations allowed to elucidate the mechanism of the transfer hydrogenation process, suggesting the crucial role played by the tpm ligand, reversibly switching from tri- to bidentate coordination during the catalytic cycle. 相似文献
The complexes [Ni2(L)2]2 · H2O ( 1 ) and [Cu2(L)2(H2O)] · 2CH3OH ( 2 ) were prepared by reaction of the chiral Schiff base ligand N‐[(1R,2S)‐2‐hydroxy‐1,2‐diphenyl]‐acetylacetonimine (H2L) with NiII and CuII ions, respectively, aiming to develop economically and environmentally‐friendly catalysts for the hydrogenation of ketones. They have a dinuclear skeleton with axial vacant sites. The catalytic effects of the two complexes for hydrogenation of ketones were tested using dihydrogen gas as hydrogen source. They present some catalytic effects in hydrogenation of acetophenone, which has a dependence on the temperature and base used in these reactions. However, no apparent catalytic effects were found for the two complexes in hydrogenation of 4‐nitroacetophenone and 4‐methylacetophenone. Although the catalytic conversion in these hydrogenation reactions is low, they do represent a kind of cheap and environmentally‐friendly hydrogenation catalyst. 相似文献
A defined (P^N^N^P)–Ru complex possessing tertiary amines within the ligand backbone proved to be highly active both in transfer hydrogenations and hydrogenations of a variety of ketones. As compared to the existing catalytic systems, no bifunctional activation of H2 or of the substrate by the metal center and a secondary amine within the ligand backbone is required to obtain high activities at catalyst loadings of down to 10 ppm. 相似文献
Two new glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complexes were synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) allowed us to establish the structure of both complexes in the solid state. The glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-nitroacetophenone showed a mononuclear hydrated structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tridentate ligand, and the glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-methylacetophenone showed a less common tetranuclear anhydrous metallocyclic structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tetradentate ligand. In both compounds, copper(II) had a tetracoordinated square planar geometry. The results of vibrational, electronic, and paramagnetic spectroscopies, as well as thermal analysis, were consistent with the crystal structures. Both complexes were evaluated as catalysts in the olefin cyclopropanation by carbene transference, and both led to very high diastereoselectivity (greater than 98%). 相似文献
This work describes the preliminary study of the homogeneous oxidation reaction of cyclohexene by nitro complexes of copper(II), Cu(CH3CN)2(NO2)Cl (1) and Cu(CH3CN)2(NO2)2 (2) in acetonitrile, under oxygen pressure (20 atm) at 70 and 100°C. The results show the formation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one and 1,2-epoxyhexane-3-one as main reaction products. Also, it was observed that the oxidation reaction at 100°C with complexes 1 and 2 becomes more selective to the formation of 2-cyclohexene-1-one although the activity of both catalyst decreases. 相似文献
The equilibria occurring in aqueous solutions of N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)ethylenediamine, N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)trimethylenediamine, N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)-1,2-propylenediamine, and N,N′-bis(β-carbamoylethyl)-2-hydroxytrimethylenediamine with protons and copper(II) ions as well as the deprotonation reactions of the copper (II) complexes of these four ligands have been studied by calorimetry at T=25.0°C and I=0.10 mol dm?3 (NaClO4). The enthalpy changes and the entropy changes for these reactions are reported and discussed. 相似文献
