The most important commercial process is the reaction of propene to n- / i-butanal (R = CH3) and other C4 oxygenates: O CH Co or Rh 3 C + O 2 + 2 CO + 2 H2 R H R R catalyst ! H – Several million tons per year of oxo products are produced worldwide! – Catalysts are carbonyl complexes of cobalt or rhodium. – Most important process that uses a transition metal carbonyl complex. – Linear aldehydes are more desirable than branched ones. !8 Thermodynamics Hydroformylation G = –42 kJ/mol CH3CH=CH2 + H2 + CO CH3CH2CH2CHO Δ Hydrogenation ΔG = –88 kJ/mol CH3CH=CH2 + H2 CH3CH2CH3 The hydroformylation reaction is highly exothermic but less exergonic due to the decreasing entropy. The thermodynamically favored product in hydroformylation is the hydrogenation product. !9 Most Important Hydroformylation Products Butanol and Derivatives: OH H O 2 H C – H2O 2 2-ethylhexanol H catalyst CHO catalyst CHO H2 catalyst [O] COOH ! OH Higher α-Olefins: CO, H2 H catalyst ! 1-hexene 1-heptanal O Other reactions: 1-octene to nonaldehyde (pelargonic aldehyde) and decene to the C11 aldehyde (target: detergent alcohols). This development is driven by the increasing availability of the appropriate α-olefins either from Fischer-Tropsch product mixtures or from the catalytic oligomerizaiton of ethylene (see later sections). Internal olefins can also be hydroformylated. Such reactions have been less exploited commercially, as double bond isomerization competes strongly. !10 Cobalt Catalyst (1938, von Roelen) As the most desired product is n-butanal, considerable attention has been devoted to increasing the linear:branched selectivity. This focused attention on the mechanism, especially the step where the propene inserts into the Co–H bond, as this can be either Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov. The observed rate law for the catalytic reaction (above a minimum threshold of CO pressure) is: d[aldehyde] −1 = kobs[alkene][H2 ][Co][CO] ! dt From the above rate laws, a simplified cycle based on [CoH(CO)4] as pre-catalyst is generally accepted (see below). The inverse dependence on CO pressure suggests a step involving CO dissociation from the catalyst. !11 The dependence on alkene concentration and on H2 pressure suggests that alkene coordination and hydrogen activation occur either before or during the rate determining step. Formation of the Catalyst from the Precatalyst H2 [Co2(CO)8] !!!→ 2 [CoH(CO)4] – CO ↽!!!!!!!!!⇀!

However, because a vacant coordination site is needed for elimination, these side reactions are inhibited at higher partial pressures of CO. The linear-to-branched ratio is determined by the kind of insertion (1ary vs. 2ary, see preceding slide) and by the rate of CO-insertion into the Co-alkyl bond (see next slide). !13 CO-Insertion into the Cobalt-Alkyl Bond R + CO R + CO O (CO)3Co (CO) Co (CO) Co R – CO 4 – CO 4 faster H B C D OC Co R OC CO fast R + CO R + CO O A (CO) Co (CO) Co (CO) Co 3 – CO 4 – CO 4 CH3 CH3 CH3 ! B' C' D' R Observation: High CO pressure increases the n : i aldehyde ratio. Explanation: CO scavenges the 16-electron alkyl complex B to give C. Thus, the inverse reaction (β-elimination to A) is inhibited ® the insertion is under kinetic (not thermodynamic) control. At lower CO pressure, the coordinatively unsaturated, 16-electron complex [Co(R)(CO)3] (B) will have a long enough lifetime to undergo β-hydrogen elimination and alkene reinsertion to give the branched alkyls, which are slightly favored thermodynamically (why?). The formyl complexes D are the only detectable species (resting species) when the steady-state reaction is examined by IR spectroscopy. Under standard catalytic conditions (linear olefins such as 1-octene, [Co2(CO)8], 130-175°C, 250 atm) !14 C–H-Bond Formation (Rate Determining Step) Two Possibilities: O [CoH(CO)4] R + [Co2(CO)7] O O – CO H (CO) Co (CO) Co 4 3 H O R' R' 2 R + [CoH(CO)3] ! H !15 Catalytic Cycle ! !16 Comments d[aldehyde] = k [alkene][H ][Co][CO]−1 ! dt obs 2 If a 1:1 H2/CO ratio is maintained, the rate will be independent of total pressure, since the rate is proportional to pH2 and inversely proportional to pCO. However, a certain minimum CO partial pressure is required to maintain the stability of [CoH(CO)4], which decomposes to cobalt metal at low pCO. Thus, reasonable reaction rates in the temperature range 110–180 °C require rather high CO partial pressures (pCO), and total H2/CO pressures of 200–300 bar. Disadvantage: high CO partial pressure decreases the hydroformylation reaction rate (why?) Advantage: high pCO increases linear-:branched-ratio (why?). Advantage: high pCO decreases alkene isomerization (why?). → Compromise between rate and regioselectivity! !17 Higher temperatures increase the rate but decrease the selectivity for the linear product and increase side reactions. Typical side reactions are isomerization, alkene hydrogenation (typically ca. 1 %), and aldehyde hydrogenation to alcohol (typically 5–12 %). The latter is not unwelcome, as aldehydes are usually later hydrogenated to alcohols. Drawbacks of Co-Catalysts: – High temperatures (140 – 175°C) and pressures (200 bar). – Branched aldehydes are the major product, but linear ones are the desired ones. !18 Rhodium Catalysts Binary rhodium carbonyls are not useful because of cluster aggregation: ! [RhH(CO)4] is a very active hydroformylation catalyst, but gives olefin hydrogenation and isomerization, and lower linear : branched ratio than cobalt carbonyl catalysts. But … Phosphine Ligands as Additives – Stabilize mononuclear complexes by inhibiting cluster formation → higher activity – Suppress olefin hydrogenation and isomerization – Increases the linear : branched ratio (up to 30 : 1) – Are active at ambient temperature and pressure Therefore, rhodium catalysts have been used in commercial production since 1976. Union Carbide Process: Propene Hydroformylation with [RhH(CO)(PPh3)3] as catalyst Molten PPh3 (m. p. 79°C) as solvent, 100°C, 50 atm pressure → 92 % linear aldeyhde, negligible hydrogenation / isomerization. Problems: Cost of rhodium, degradation of PPh3. !19 Mechanism ! Under standard conditions, CO intercepts the coordinatively unsaturated alkyl complex and the insertion is irreversible → kinetic control. The primary insertion (antimarkovnikov) is favored because the corresponding transition state is less crowded. Under process conditions, the linear:branched ratio is typically of 8–9 : 1 (the stereochemistry of insertion (1ary/2ary) is not shown). !20 Support for the Proposed Mechanism Effect of [PPh3]: – reduces reaction rate (because the precatalyst must dissociate a PPh3 ligand): !!⇀ [RhH(CO)(PPh3)3] ↽!! [RhH(CO)(PPh3)2] + PPh3 – increases linear : branched product ratio – suppresses olefin hydrogenation and isomerization Effect of P(CO): – higher CO partial pressures cause high linear:branched ratio up to a limit, too high CO partial pressures lower linear:branched ratio. Effect of P(H2): – the rate law is first-order in P(H2) → step (d) is rate- determining. But: Effect of [olefin]: – the rate law is zero-order in olefin at high olefin concentration – at lower [olefin], the rate law becomes first order in [olefin], a step before step (d) becomes rate-determining. !21 Stereochemistry of Olefin and CO Insertion 1) [RhD(CO)(L) ] Me H 3 Me H CO / D2, 80°C Et Me Et Me 2) [O], MeOH D CO2Me ! L = PPh3 cis-addition only! The reaction was run with a 1:1 CO:D2 ratio and was stopped at 50 % conversion. There was no incorporation of deuterium in the unreacted olefin, which implies that olefin insertion is irreversible.

The highest activity with 100% total conversion and 96% yield of aldehydes was obtained with the Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst. The Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst was found to be more stable and active than the corresponding rhodium catalyst supported on bulk ZnO. The favorable morphology of Rh/nano-ZnO particles led to an increased metal content and an increased number of weak acid sites compared to the bulk ZnO supported catalysts. Both these factors favored the improved catalytic performance.

    HYDROFORMYLATION OF C3 AND C8 OLEFINS IN HYDROCARBON GAS-EXPANDED SOLVENTS By Dupeng Liu Submitted to the graduate degree program in Chemical & Petroleum Engineering and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson: Bala Subramaniam Raghunath V. Chaudhari Jon Tunge Aaron Scurto Kevin Leonard Date Defended: April 30th, 2018 The dissertation committee for Dupeng Liu certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: HYDROFORMYLATION OF C3 AND C8 OLEFINS IN HYDROCARBON GAS-EXPANDED SOLVENTS Chairperson: Bala Subramaniam Date Approved: May 8th, 2018 ii Abstract Hydroformylation involves the addition of syngas to the double bond of an alkene yielding aldehydes used to produce basic building blocks for myriad consumer goods. Resource-efficient technologies that conserve feedstock and energy continue to be of interest to industry. It has been shown previously by our group that the use of CO2-expanded liquids significantly enhances the Rh-catalyzed 1-octene hydroformylation rate and selectivity. This dissertation extends this concept by employing light alkanes such as propane and n-butane as compressed solvents in propylene and 1-octene hydroformylation, respectively. Phase behavior measurements demonstrate that at identical H2 or CO fugacities in the vapor phase, the H2 and CO solubilities in either propane- or propylene-expanded solvents (PXLs) are greater than those in the corresponding neat solvents by as high as 76% at 70 °C and 1.5 MPa. The H2/CO ratio in PXLs is enhanced by simply increasing the propane partial pressure. In contrast, the H2/CO in the neat solvent at a given temperature is constant at all syngas partial pressures.

Heck (retired) – University of Delaware (USA) Professor Heck, of “Heck Reaction/Coupling” fame, has had a long and distinguished career in chemistry. Beginning with Co- mediated hydroformylation, Heck was one of the first to apply transition metal catalysis to C-C bond formation. His studies of the mechanisms of transition metal catalyzed reactions led to Pd-mediated couplings that have had a profound impact in many areas of chemistry and materials science. 2 P.

Among Pd(0) and Pd(II) complexes commonly used are Pd(PPh3)4, Pd2(dba)2, and Pd2(dba)2CHCl3. Pd(PPh3)4 should be stored cold and under inert gas; the dibenzylideneacetone complexes are more stable catalyst precursors. Both phosphine structure and phosphine/Pd ratio effect catalyst structure and reactivity (the lower the phosphine/Pd ratio, the more reactive the catalyst).

    RSC Advances REVIEW Computational aspects of hydroformylation Tamas Kegl* Cite this: RSC Adv.,2015,5,4304 ´ ´ The influence of transition metal complexes as catalysts upon the activity and selectivity of hydroformylation reactions has been extensively investigated during the last decades. Nowadays Received 25th October 2014 computational chemistry is an indispensable tool for elucidation of reaction mechanisms and for Accepted 4th December 2014 understanding the various aspects which govern the outcome of catalytic reactions. This review DOI: 10.1039/c4ra13121e attempts to survey the recent literature concerning computational studies on hydroformylation and www.rsc.org/advances theoretical coordination chemistry results related to hydroformylation. 1. Introduction Various transition metal compounds can serve as catalyst precursor for hydroformylation, such as cobalt,2 rhodium,3–6 The hydroformylation or oxo reaction, discovered by Otto platinum,7 ruthenium,8,9 and iridium10 complexes. Very few Roelen1 is the transition metal mediated addition of carbon examples are known about the hydroformylation activity of iron monoxide and dihydrogen to the double bond of an alkene. It is complexes,11,12 although synergistic effect with rhodium one of the most versatile methods for the functionalization of complexes has been also reported.13 C]C bonds and can be considered consequently as a very Hydroformylation is one of the leading industrial process robust synthetic tool. The primary products of the exothermic among homogeneously catalysed reactions producing more reaction are aldehyde isomers. If the carbon atoms of the than 10 million metric tons of oxo chemicals per year.14 Formed double bond are equivalent, only one aldehyde is formed, as aldehydes can be valuable nal products, but oen they are depicted in Scheme 1(a).
