Hydroformylation of 1-Octene over Nanotubular TiO2-supported Amorphous Co-B Catalysts

TiO₂ nanotubes supported amorphous Co-B(Co-B/TNTs) catalyst was prepared via impregnationchemical reduction procedure. The catalyst was characterized with transmission electron microscopy(TEM), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption(NH₃-TPD), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis(TG-DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The effects of temperature and ratio of CO to H₂ on the hydroformylation of 1-octene were studied. At an optimized reaction temperature(150℃) and volume ratio of CO to H₂(2:1), the conversion of 1-octene can reach 97.4% with a selectivity of 23.1% for total aldehydes and n/i-aldehyde molar ratio of 40:60. To obtain higher selectivity for linear aldehydes, Co-B/TNTs modified with triphenylphosphine for the hydroformylation of 1-octene were investigated. When molar ratio of P/Co was 4, the yield of total aldehydes was the highest(31.6%) with a good selectivity for linear product(n/i-aldehyde molar ratio was 70:30). In recycle use, the Co-B/TNTs catalyst modified with triphenylphosphine could be reused five times without reducing the activity and selectivity obviously. For a comparative study, all the Co-B/TNTs to catalyze the hydroformylation of other olefins exhibited high conversion under the optimized conditions.     

Hydroformylation of alkyl alkenes catalyzed by rhodium supported on MCM-41: The effect of H3PW12O40 on the catalytic activity and recycling

Heteropolyacids impregnated with rhodium(I) or (III) complexes were prepared and used as supported catalysts in the hydroformylation of alkyl alkenes. Two general types of catalysts were prepared and tested: rhodium(I) or (III) in the presence and in the absence of the heteropolyacid H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, 25H₂O (adopted as HPW₁₂) supported on MCM-41 (30 Å). 1-Octene was chosen as a model substrate. Different types of supported catalysts were tested in the hydroformylation of 1-octene and other alkyl alkenes. The effects of the temperature and the type of solvent on the reaction were studied. The results showed that the supported catalysts containing the heteropolyacid H₃PW₁₂O₄₀, 25H₂O (HPW₁₂) along with rhodium(I) or (III) gave higher catalytic activity. In addition, the recycling of the supported catalysts was studied and the results showed again the important effect of the presence of HPW₁₂ on the recycling of the rhodium catalysts.     

负载型水溶性铑膦配合物催化剂的结构和性能

SiO2担载TPPTS（间-三苯基膦三磺酸钠盐）－Rh（acac）（CO）2制成的负载型水溶性催化剂进行1-己烯氢甲酰化催化反应时，引入适量水蒸气可显著提高催化活性．用魔角旋转固体核磁共振磷谱表征得到，在新制备的催化剂中，吸附于SiO2表面但未参与配位的TPPTS，约占总膦物种的70mol％以上，而位于δ=32．4处的表面配合物｛Rh（CO）（TPPTS）2｝膦物种量约为15mol％，其它膦10mol％左右．催化剂经干燥合成气在373K处理2h、或经湿合成气在较低温度（333K）下处理2h后，｛Rh（CO）（TPPTS）2｝的增加量仅约为10～15mol％，其它膦物种的变化量也较小，但催化剂经湿合成气于373K处理2h后，｛Rh（CO）（TPPTS）2｝的净增量大于40mol％；在工作态催化剂中，也观察到｛Rh（CO）（TPPTS）2）大量生成、未配位TPPTS量减小；经43h反应运转后，催化剂活性下降，归属为｛Rh（CO）（TPPTS）2）的磷谱峰宽化，揭示有部份配合物解络、部分TPPTS被氧化成OTTPTS．本研究结果证实，适量水可促进催化剂中具氢甲酰化催化活性的铑膦物种形成，提高活性，但随反应进行，配合物将逐渐解络、膦配体逐渐被氧化，从而使催化剂逐渐失活．     

A general route for the synthesis of hydrido-carboxylate complexes of the type MH(CO)(κ-OCOR)(PPh3)2 [M = Ru,Os; R = CH3, CH2Cl,C6H5, CH(CH3)2] and their use as precatalysts for hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions

The synthesis and solid-state IR, ¹H and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopic characterization of complexes of the type MH(CO)(κ³-OCOR)(PPh₃)₂ [M = Ru, Os; R = CH₃, CH₂Cl, C₆H₅ and CH(CH₃)₂] are reported in this paper. These compounds were obtained by reaction of the respective cationic complex [MH(CO)(NCMe)₂(PPh₃)₂]BF₄ with the sodium salt of the corresponding carboxylic acid in a 1:1 v/v dichloromethane/methanol solution at room temperature. The spectroscopic data of these complexes and some DFT calculations reveal an octahedral geometry with a bidentated carboxylate, two equivalent triphenylphosphines in a mutually trans positions, a linear hydride and a linear carbonyl both in the cis-positions of the coordination sphere. The catalytic results indicate that these complexes are efficient and regioselective precatalysts for the quinoline hydrogenation and for the hydroformylation of 1-hexene, under mild reaction conditions (130 °C and 4 atm H₂ and 120 °C and 15 atm H₂/CO, respectively). For benzothiophene hydrogenation, the osmium complexes showed low activities whereas the analogous ruthenium complexes were catalytically inactive under somewhat more drastic reaction conditions to those of the quinoline hydrogenation (140 °C and 10 atm H₂).     

Phosphines with 2-imidazolium and para-phenyl-2-imidazolium moieties — synthesis and application in two-phase catalysis

Deprotonation of 1-n-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride or hexafluorophosphate with n-butyl lithium and subsequent reaction of the intermediate 2,3-dihydro-imidazol-2-ylidene with diphenylchlorophosphine affords the 2-imidazolium phosphines 3a or 3b. The phosphine 4 with a para-phenylene spacer between the imidazolyl moiety and the phosphorus atom has been obtained by Kosugi–Stille coupling between 2-tri-n-butyl-stannyl-1-methylimidazole and 4-fluoroiodobenzene followed by nucleophilic substitution of fluorine with PPh₂K. The X-ray structure of 4 (space group ) has been determined. Selective N-protonation or N-quaternization of 4 affords the corresponding imidazolium phosphines 5a–5c. The ligands 3b and 5c have been tested in the biphasic Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-octene employing the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate as catalyst solvent.     

膦配体链长对锚合膦配体修饰的Rh/SiO_2催化剂上氢甲酰化反应性能的影响(英文)

烯烃氢甲酰化反应产物醛是生产多种有机化合物的重要中间体,具有重要的工业价值.均相催化剂具有反应条件温和及催化效率高的优点,因而成为工业应用的主要催化体系,但催化剂分离复杂且昂贵.多相催化剂具有易分离和易回收的优点,但在氢甲酰化反应中的活性和选择性较低,因而大大阻碍了其在工业上的应用.为了得到兼具两种催化剂优点的新型催化剂,人们进行了数十年的研究,均相催化剂多相化便是其中一个研究热点.实现该策略最常用的一个方法是将均相催化剂固载到载体上,以此来达到催化剂易从反应物及产物中分离,同时保有高活性高选择性的目的.通过化学键将金属配合物的配体键合到载体上已经取得了一定的成功,但依然存在着活性组分流失和催化剂失活的问题.本课题组开发了一种锚合膦配体修饰的Rh/SiO_2新型催化剂,在乙烯氢甲酰化反应中表现出卓越的稳定性,反应1000 h后依然没有出现活性下降和组分流失的现象,这是因为配体和活性金属同时被固载在载体SiO_2上.但是由于配体和活性金属都不能自由移动,很多配体不能与金属原子有效接触,起不到配位效应,因而催化剂活性仍不够高.因此,为了提高锚合膦配体修饰的Rh/SiO_2催化剂的活性,我们合成了具有较长链长的膦DPPPTS,并与商业购买的链长较短的膦DPPETS做对比,研究锚合膦配体链长和催化剂活性的关系.使用N_2物理吸附、原位红外光谱(FT-IR)和固体~(31)P核磁共振(NMR)等探讨了膦配体链长影响催化性能的原因.固定床上乙烯氢甲酰化反应结果表明,当膦配体的链长增长一个亚甲基长度后,反应稳定后催化剂的活性提高了一倍以上.N_2物理吸附实验表明,延长配体的链长对催化剂结构性质的影响不大,因而也不会改变反应时的传质.催化剂吸附合成气(CO:H_2=1:1)的原位FT-IR结果表明,不同链长膦配体修饰的Rh/SiO_2催化剂上均原位生成了类似于用于均相氢甲酰化反应的Wilkinson型催化剂的活性物种HRh(CO)_2(DPPPTS)_2[或HRh(CO)_2(DPPETS)_2],以及吸附在Rh上的线式CO.这两种吸附物种均利于氢甲酰化反应的进行,其中以前者活性更好.从原位FT-IR结果同样看出,锚合链长较长的膦配体的催化剂(DPPPTS-Rh/SiO_2)上原位生成的活性物种量更多,因而催化活性更高.固体~(31)P NMR结果表明,催化剂上的膦以自由态的膦(高场峰β)和与Rh配位的膦(低场峰α)两种形式存在.α峰面积和β峰面积之比(r)越高代表与Rh配位的膦配体占总膦量的比例越高.发现DPPPTS-Rh/SiO_2催化剂的r值(1.31)高于DPPETS-Rh/SiO_2催化剂(1.05),即前者与Rh配位生成活性物种的膦配体的比例更高.结合原位FT-IR和固体~(31)P NMR的结果可知,链长较长的DPPPTS更容易与Rh配位,从而生成更多的铑膦配合物活性物种,因而催化剂活性更高.因此,增长锚合膦配体的链长有助于提高其修饰的Rh/SiO_2催化剂的活性.

Carbon monoxide as a reagent: A report on the role of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands in metal-catalyzed carbonylation reactions

This report is a focused and critical essay on the effectiveness of M–NHC catalysts in reactions that specifically utilize carbon monoxide as a C1-carbon source. NHC ligands are touted as excellent trialkylphosphine (PR₃) mimics and are purported to improve existing phosphine based catalysts. One premise for using NHCs is that the need for excess ligand could be obviated in certain reactions. If true, then reactions involving CO as a reagent should be improved when a M–NHC complex is employed. Herein is a compilation of results that feature CO as a reagent in reactions such as: hydroformylation, hydroaminomethylation, carbonylation of aryl halides, oxidative carbonylation of amino and phenolic compounds, and the copolymerization of alkenes and CO. The aim of the report is to highlight reactions in which the ancillary NHC ligand is beneficial, detrimental, ineffective, or inconclusive in promoting the desired chemistry.     

Fine tuning of sulfoalkylated cyclodextrin structures to improve their mass-transfer properties in an aqueous biphasic hydroformylation reaction

The structure of sulfoalkylated cyclodextrins (CDs) have been varied and optimised to improve their performances as mass-transfer promoters in an aqueous biphasic hydroformylation reaction. Their surface tensions have been measured using the Wilhelmy plate technique and compared. Their behaviour towards two hydrosoluble derivatives of triphenylphosphine has been evaluated by ³¹P{¹H} and ¹H NMR measurements and their catalytic activity has been assessed in a rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation reaction of 1-decene. The best result was obtained using a β-CD sulfobutylated on the primary face and methylated on the secondary face. Indeed, this CD increased the reaction rate by a factor of 250 without inducing selectivity decrease. The accessibility to the secondary face of the CD appears to be determining in the catalytic process as it governs the approach between the CD-included substrate and the water-soluble catalyst. The impact of the nature of the CD substituents on the chemo- and regioselectivity of the reaction is also discussed.
