- Cross metathesis of bio-sourced fatty nitriles with acrylonitrile
-
We report the cross metathesis of two olefinic partners containing different types of nitrile functionality. Thus, cross metathesis of fatty nitriles with acrylonitrile have been achieved with olefin metathesis ruthenium catalysts. 10-Undecenenitrile provides 2-dodecenedinitrile with a high turnover number of 13,280 in the green solvent, diethyl carbonate. Cross metathesis with the internal carbon-carbon double bond of oleonitrile gave the expected products, and the cleavage of the internal double bond proved to be more difficult probably owing to faster catalyst decomposition.

- USE OF RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES IN OLEFIN METATHESIS REACTION
-
The invention relates to the use of ruthenium complexes, which are homogeneous catalysts and/or precatalysts of the olefin metathesis reaction, which lead to the production of alkenes containing an internal (non-terminal) double C=C bond.

- CROSS METATHESIS APPROACH TO C11-C13 FATTY-CHAIN AMINO ESTERS FORM OLEIC ACID DERIVATIVES
-
A concise method of producing nylon 11, 12, or 13 precursors from oleic acid or an ester of oleic acid is described. The method involves cross-metathesis reactions as the key C-C bond formation step. Subsequent steps are provided to convert the metathesis product to the corresponding nylon precursors. Also provided are the products of the method.

- Copper-catalyzed direct transformation of simple alkynes to alkenyl nitriles via aerobic oxidative N-incorporation
-
A novel direct transformation of aliphatic terminal alkynes to alkenyl nitriles through the incorporation of a nitrogen atom into the simple hydrocarbons has been reported. The usage of inexpensive copper catalyst, O2 as the sole oxidant, broad substrate scope as well as feasibility for "late-stage modification" make this protocol very promising. Mechanistic studies including DFT calculation demonstrate a novel 1,2-hydride shift process for this novel nitrogenation reaction.

- Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and nitriles via cross-metathesis reactions using Grubbs' catalysts
-
A series of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and nitriles of significant interest in the fragrance industry have been prepared using Grubbs' catalysts in cross-metathesis reactions of electron-deficient olefins (i.e., acrolein, crotonaldehyde, methacrolein, and acrylonitrile) with various 1-alkenes, including 1-decene, 1-octene, 1-hexene and 2-allyloxy-6-methylheptane. The latter is of particular interest, as it has not previously being used as a substrate in cross-metathesis reactions and allows access to valuable intermediates for the synthesis of new fragrances. Most reactions gave good selectivity of the desired CM product (≥90%). Detailed optimisation and mechanistic studies have been performed on the cross-metathesis of acrolein with 1-decene. Recycling of the catalyst has been attempted using ionic liquids.

- Combined transition-metal- and organocatalysis: An atom economic C3 homologation of alkenes to carbonyl and carboxylic compounds
-
A combination of regioselective room-temperature/ambient-pressure hydroformylation (transitionmetal catalysis) and decarboxylative Knoevenagel reactions (organocatalysis) allowed for the development of an efficient, one-pot C3 homologation of terminal alkenes to (E)-α,β-unsaturated acids and esters, (E)-β,γ-unsaturated acids, (E)-α-cyano acrylic acids, and α,β-unsaturated nitriles. All reactions proceed under mild conditions, tolerate a variety of functional groups, and furnish unsaturated carbonyl compounds in good yields and with excellent regioand stereocontrol. Further, an iterative C2 homologation of (E)-α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids is possible through a combination of decarboxylative hydroformylation employing a supramolecular catalyst followed by decarboxylative Knoevenagel condensation with an organocatalyst.

- Alkylidene-ruthenium-tin catalysts for the formation of fatty nitriles and esters via cross-metathesis of plant oil derivatives
-
The reaction of SnCl2 with the Ru-Cl bond of the Grubbs I catalyst RuCl2(=CHPh)(PCy3)2 (1) gives the complex {[Ru(=CHPh)(SnCl3)(PCy3)]2(μ-Cl) 3}-[HPCy3]+ (2), but containing two diethyl ether solvate molecules. The formal insertion of SnCl2 into one Ru-Cl bond of the Hoveyda II catalyst RuCl2(=CH-C 6H4OPri)(H2IMes) (3) (H 2IMes = N,N′-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) results in formation of the new complex RuCl(SnCl3)(=CH-C6H 4OPri)(H2IMes) (4). The X-ray analyses of 2 and 4 show the presence of very short Ru-Sn bonds (2.5834(9) A mean bond for 2 and 2.5925(12) A for 4) and the retention of short Ru=C bonds (1.895(10) and 1.825(8) A, respectively). Complex 4 shows an excellent catalytic activity for the cross-metathesis of plant oil derivatives, the C11 ω-unsaturated ester and aldehyde and the unsaturated C18 diester with acrylonitrile, and a good activity for their cross-metathesis with methyl acrylate. Good to excellent yield of α,ω-bifunctional compounds, precursors of polyesters and polyamides, were obtained. Complex 2 shows catalytic activity for the self-metathesis of C11 ω-unsaturated aldehyde at low concentration to produce C20 α,ω-dialdehyde.

- Lewis Acid Mediated Synthesis of 2-Alkenenitriles Using C,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)ketenimine and Carbonyl Compounds
-
2-Substituted 2-alkenenitriles are obtained in the condensation reaction of carbonyl compounds with C,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)ketenimine in the presence of Lewis acid.The combination of tris(trimethylsilyl)ketenimine and aldehydes results in the high E-selective formation of 2-trimethylsilyl-2-alkenenitriles.Among some Lewis acids, magnesium bromid gives the best E-selectivity in the formation of 2-trimethylsilyl-2-undecenenitrile.Stereospecific protodesilylation of 2-trimethylsilyl-2-alkenenitriles in an aqueous methanol solution of potassium fluoride accomplishes a new route to (Z)-2-alkenenitriles from aldehydes.
