- Iridium-Catalyzed Domino Hydroformylation/Hydrogenation of Olefins to Alcohols: Synergy of Two Ligands
-
A novel one-pot iridium-catalyzed domino hydroxymethylation of olefins, which relies on using two different ligands at the same time, is reported. DFT computation reveals different activities for the individual hydroformylation and hydrogenation steps in the presence of mono- and bidentate ligands. Whereas bidentate ligands have higher hydrogenation activity, monodentate ligands show higher hydroformylation activity. Accordingly, a catalyst system is introduced that uses dual ligands in the whole domino process. Control experiments show that the overall selectivity is kinetically controlled. Both computation and experiment explain the function of the two optimized ligands during the domino process.

- READILY BIODEGRADABLE ALKOXYLATE MIXTURES
-
A mixture of octanols, nonanols and decanols is useful for the preparation of alkoxylates, which alkoxylates may be used as surfactants, which surfactants have surprisingly good biodegradability.

- From alkenes to alcohols by cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation-reduction
-
The cobalt-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes in the presence of a range of novel cyclic phosphine ligands was investigated. The effect of various parameters such as solvents, additives, cobalt/phosphine ratio, CO/H2 (1:2), and nature of the alkenes was examined. The results revealed that both terminal and internal alkenes are hydroformylated in high yields to give mainly linear products at moderate temperature and syn gas pressure. The linearity ranges from 43 to 85%, with Lim-10 giving the highest proportion of linear product.

- From olefins to alcohols: Efficient and regioselective ruthenium-catalyzed domino hydroformylation/reduction sequence
-
Exploring the alternatives: Ruthenium imidazoyl phosphine complexes catalyze the domino hydroformylation/reduction of alkenes to alcohols in good yields and with good selectivities (see scheme). Linear aliphatic alcohols are synthesized under reaction conditions typically used in industrial hydroformylations. Copyright

- Asymmetric alkene cycloalumination by AlEt3, catalyzed with neomenthylindenyl zirconium η5-complexes
-
The paper is devoted to a study of the reaction of terminal alkene cycloalumination by AlEt3 catalyzed with neomenthylindenyl zirconium complexes (p-S)(p-S)-bis[η5-[1-[(1S,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5- methylcycloh-exyl]indenyl]]zirconium dichloride (1) or (p-S)-(η5- cyclopentadienyl)[η5-[1-[(1S,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5- methylcyclohexyl]indenyl]]zirconium dichloride (2). It was shown that alkene and catalyst structures, as well as solvent, affect the overall yield and enantiomeric excess of the reaction product - 3-alkylsubstituted aluminacyclopentanes. The reaction of terminal alkenes with AlEt3, catalyzed by complex 1, in hydrocarbon solvents gives predominantly S-enantiomers of cyclic organoaluminum compounds with enantiomeric excess up to 37%. Complex 2 shows smaller stereoinduction effect and provides R-enantiomers of aluminacyclopentanes with 6-26%ee. The effectiveness of selenium-containing derivatizing reagent (R)-2-phenylselenopropanoic acid for the enantiomeric excess estimation in β-alkyl-1,4-butanediols obtained from cyclic organoaluminum compounds was shown.

- Bimetallic-Catalyzed Reduction of Carboxylic Acids and Lactones to Alcohols and Diols
-
The homogeneously catalyzed reduction of carboxylic acids with hydrogen was studied. Bimetallic catalysts consisting of a group 8 or 9 late transition-metal and a second group 6 or 7 transition-metal carbonyl showed a synergistic effect allowing the conversion in good yields under moderate conditions. Besides the effect of different catalyst precursors, the influence of temperature, hydrogen pressure, and catalyst concentration was investigated. An equimolar mixture of [Rh(acac)(CO)2] and [Mo(CO)6] showed the highest activity and was therefore applied to the reduction of lactones to diols. The reduction potential of the catalyst was found to be dependent on the ring size of the lactone used. Five-membered ring lactones were hardly converted to diols whereas six- and seven- membered ring lactones reacted easily.
