Selective oxidation of a terminal olefin by a mixed catalytic system comprising Pd(dba)2 and silver nitrite gives a methyl ketone.A WACKER type mechanism is proposed, in which organic nitrites derives from the alcoholic solvent used are involved.

Dehydrohalogenation, or elimination of hydrogen-halide equivalents, remains one of the simplest methods for the installation of the biologically-important olefin functionality. However, this transformation often requires harsh, strongly-basic conditions, rare noble metals, or both, limiting its applicability in the synthesis of complex molecules. Nature has pursued a complementary approach in the novel vitamin B12-dependent photoreceptor CarH, where photolysis of a cobalt-carbon bond leads to selective olefin formation under mild, physiologically-relevant conditions. Herein we report a light-driven B12-based catalytic system that leverages this reactivity to convert alkyl electrophiles to olefins under incredibly mild conditions using only earth abundant elements. Further, this process exhibits a high level of regioselectivity, producing terminal olefins in moderate to excellent yield and exceptional selectivity. Finally, we are able to access a hitherto-unknown transformation, remote elimination, using two cobalt catalysts in tandem to produce subterminal olefins with excellent regioselectivity. Together, we show vitamin B12to be a powerful platform for developing mild olefin-forming reactions.

We have designed and synthesized a hetero-dinuclear RuII-CoII complex with a dinucleating ligand inspired by hetero-dinuclear active sites of metalloenzymes. A synergistic effect between the adjacent RuII and CoII sites has been confirmed in catalytic olefin hydrogenation by the complex, exhibiting a much higher turnover number than those of mononuclear RuII or CoII complexes as the components. A RuII-hydrido species was detected by 1H NMR and electrospray ionization (ESI)-time-of-flight (TOF)-MS measurements as an intermediate to react with olefins, and CoII-bound methanol was suggested to act as a proton source.
