Hydrogenation of alkenes containing polarized C=C double bonds has been achieved with iron-based homogeneous catalysts bearing a bis(phosphino)amine pincer ligand. Under standard catalytic conditions (5 mol % of (PNHPiPr)Fe(H)2(CO) (PNHPiPr = NH(CH2CH2PiPr2)2), 23 °C, 1 atm of H2), styrene derivatives containing electron-withdrawing para substituents reacted much more quickly than both the parent styrene and substituted styrenes with an electron-donating group. Selective hydrogenation of C=C double bonds occurs in the presence of other reducible functionalities such as -CO2Me, -CN, and N-heterocycles. For the α,β-unsaturated ketone benzalacetone, both C=C and C=O bonds have been reduced in the final product, but NMR analysis at the initial stage of catalysis demonstrates that the C=O bond is reduced much more rapidly than the C=C bond. Although Hanson and co-workers have proposed a nonbifunctional alkene hydrogenation mechanism for related nickel and cobalt catalysts, the iron system described here operates via a stepwise metal-ligand cooperative pathway of Fe-H hydride transfer, resulting in an ionic intermediate, followed by N-H proton transfer from the pincer ligand to form the hydrogenated product. Experimental and computational studies indicate that the polarization of the C=C bond is imperative for hydrogenation with this iron catalyst.
