Lutidine‐Based Chiral Pincer Manganese Catalysts for Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 58(15), P. 4973 - 4977

Published: Feb. 18, 2019

A series of MnI complexes containing lutidine-based chiral pincer ligands with modular and tunable structures has been developed. The complex shows unprecedentedly high activities (up to 9800 TON; TON=turnover number), broad substrate scope (81 examples), good functional-group tolerance, excellent enantioselectivities (85-98 % ee) in the hydrogenation various ketones. These aspects are rare earth-abundant metal catalyzed hydrogenations. utility protocol have demonstrated asymmetric synthesis a variety key intermediates for drugs. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that an outer-sphere mode substrate-catalyst interactions probably dominates catalysis.

Hydrogenative Depolymerization of Nylons

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 142(33), P. 14267 - 14275

Published: July 24, 2020

The widespread crisis of plastic pollution demands discovery new and sustainable approaches to degrade robust plastics such as nylons. Using a green approach based on hydrogenation, in the presence ruthenium pincer catalyst at 150 °C 70 bar H2, we report here first example hydrogenative depolymerization conventional, widely used nylons polyamides, general. Under same catalytic conditions, also demonstrate hydrogenation polyurethane produce diol, diamine, methanol. Additionally, an where monomers (and oligomers) obtained from process can be dehydrogenated back poly(oligo)amide approximately similar molecular weight, thus completing closed loop cycle for recycling polyamides. Based experimental density functional theory studies, propose that is facilitated by metal–ligand cooperativity. Overall, this unprecedented transformation, albeit proof concept level, offers toward cleaner route

Manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and hydroelementation reactions

Chemical Society Reviews, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 51(11), P. 4386 - 4464

Published: Jan. 1, 2022

The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel properties. In this case, manganese, the third most abundant transition-metal in Earth's crust, emerged as one leading competitors. Accordingly, a large number molecularly-defined Mn-complexes been synthesized employed for hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydroelementation reactions. regard, catalyst design is based three pillars, namely, metal-ligand bifunctionality, ligand hemilability, redox activity. Indeed, developed catalysts not only differ chelating atoms they possess but also working principles, thereby different turnover numbers product molecules. Hence, critical assessment molecularly defined manganese terms atoms, reaction conditions, mechanistic pathway, significant. Herein, we analyze complexes catalytic activity, versatility allow multiple transformations routes convert substrates target This article will be helpful get significant insight into design, aiding design.

Abstract Any catalyst should be efficient and stable to implemented in practice. This requirement is particularly valid for manganese hydrogenation catalysts. While representing a more sustainable alternative conventional noble metal-based systems, catalysts are prone degrade under catalytic conditions once operation temperatures high. Herein, we report highly Mn(I)-CNP pre-catalyst which gives rise the excellent productivity (TOF° up 41 000 h −1 ) stability (TON 200 000) catalysis. system enables near-quantitative of ketones, imines, aldehydes formate esters at loadings as low 5–200 p.p.m. Our analysis points crucial role activation step performance system. employing alkoxide bases can ultimately provide catalytically competent species hydrogen atmosphere, Mn(I) with hydride donor promoters, e.g. KHBEt 3 , dramatically improves eliminates induction times associated slow activation.

Polymers have become an indispensable part of our daily lives, and today we produce around 370 MT plastic per year. Only about 20% it is being recycled, the rest, 80%, unleashed into environment without appropriate treatment. This calls forth evaluation strategies available for mitigating menace "after-use" waste. Various approaches evolved over a decade are at different levels development. Plastic depolymerization upcycling considered some most prominent long-term solutions. The metal-catalyzed waste to chemical feedstocks has emerged as one promising ways address global pollution. Therefore, this review aims examine methods, notify recent progress, pinpoint current gaps, gauge potential strategy. Both homogeneous heterogeneous catalysts been reported depolymerize various polymers last decade. Considerable advances in metal-mediated polyolefins, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, polyamides, polyethers. above produces monomers or intermediates, which can be used again polymerization thus brings back circularity. overview debates usage high temperatures, sophisticated ligands, expensive metals, stoichiometric reagents, etc., depolymerization.
