Clean protocol for deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes: Via catalytic hydrogenation using gold

The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.

Gold nanoparticles (NPs) combined with Lewis bases, such as piperazine, were found to perform selective hydrogenation reactions via the heterolytic cleavage of H2. Since gold nanoparticles can be prepared by many different methodologies and using different capping ligands, in this study, we investigated the influence of capping ligands adsorbed on gold surfaces on the formation of the gold-ligand interface. Citrate (Citr), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and oleylamine (Oley)-stabilized Au NPs were not activated by piperazine for the hydrogenation of alkynes, but the catalytic activity was greatly enhanced after removing the capping ligands from the gold surface by calcination at 400 °C and the subsequent adsorption of piperazine. Therefore, the capping ligand can limit the catalytic activity if not carefully removed, demonstrating the need of a cleaner surface for a ligand-metal cooperative effect in the activation of H2 for selective semihydrogenation of various alkynes under mild reaction conditions.

Palladium-catalyzed transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes using H2O as the hydrogen source and Mn as the reducing reagent is developed, affording cis- and trans-alkenes selectively under mild conditions. In addition, this method provides an efficient way to access various cis-1,2-dideuterioalkenes and trans-1,2-dideuterioalkenes by using D2O instead of H2O.
Z-Selective alkyne semi-hydrogenation catalysed by piano-stool N-heterocyclic carbene iron complexes
Johnson, Chloe,Albrecht, Martin
, p. 2779 - 2783 (2018/06/14)
NHC iron(ii) piano-stool complexes catalyse the selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes using silanes as reducing agents. Aromatic terminal alkynes are converted to styrenes without over-reduction to ethylbenzene derivatives. Furthermore, internal aryl alkynes afford cis-alkenes with excellent Z-selectivity.

We designed core-Pd/shell-Ag nanocomposite catalyst (Pd@Ag) for highly selective semihydrogenation of alkynes. The construction of the core-shell nanocomposite enables a significant improvement in the low activity of Ag NPs for the selective semihydrogenation of alkynes because hydrogen is supplied from the core-Pd NPs to the shell-Ag NPs in a synergistic manner. Simultaneously, coating the core-Pd NPs with shell-Ag NPs results in efficient suppression of overhydrogenation of alkenes by the Pd NPs. This complementary action of core-Pd and shell-Ag provides high chemoselectivity toward a wide range of alkenes with high Z-selectivity under mild reaction conditions (room temperature and 1 atm H2). Moreover, Pd@Ag can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and is reusable without loss of catalytic activity or selectivity.

We report a facile synthesis of new core-Au/shell-CeO2 nanoparticles (Au@CeO2) using a redox-coprecipitation method, where the Au nanoparticles and the nanoporous shell of CeO2 are simultaneously formed in one step. The Au@CeO2 catalyst enables the highly selective semihydrogenation of various alkynes at ambient temperature under additive-free conditions. The core-shell structure plays a crucial role in providing the excellent selectivity for alkenes through the selective dissociation of H2 in a heterolytic manner by maximizing interfacial sites between the core-Au and the shell-CeO2.
Eco-friendly stereoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by Er(OTf)3/NaBH4 in 2-MeTHF
Nardi, Monica,Sindona, Giovanni,Costanzo, Paola,Oliverio, Manuela,Procopio, Antonio
, p. 1132 - 1135 (2015/02/19)
An operationally simple and environmentally benign catalytic procedure has been developed to selectively reduce different α,β-unsaturated ketones. The corresponding allylic alcohols are obtained with high chemo- and diastereoselectivity using Er(OTf)3 and NaBH4 in 2-MeTHF. This protocol reduces the amount of catalyst and NaBH4 needed, compared to classical procedures and the stages of extraction/purification are carried out in aqueous solutions avoiding the use of toxic solvents. Taking into account that Er(OTf)3 can be considered even less toxic than table salt and the 'greenness' of 2-MeTHF as a solvent, the system Er(OTf)3/2-MeTHF can be proposed as a cheap, efficient, and environmentally sustainable reduction system for the synthesis of allylic alcohols.

Catalysts with a sheltered upbringing: Novel core-shell nanocomposite catalysts consisting of active metal nanoparticles encapsulated by macroligands have been prepared. They have Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) as an active core and shell ligands having sulfoxide moieties coordinated to the PdNPs. The shell protects the catalyst from coordination by alkenes and allows the lead-free selective semihydrogenation of a wide range of alkynes without any additives (see scheme). Copyright

Silica-supported Pd nanoparticles (Pd/SiO2) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) show excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for the semihydrogenation of alkynes. Small amounts of DMSO drastically suppress the overhydrogenation and isomerization of alkenes. This catalyst system is also applicable to both internal and terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the Pd/SiO 2 catalyst was separable from the reaction mixture after the hydrogenation and reusable without loss of its high catalytic activity or selectivity.
