International Symposium Relations Between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis LBNL-62755 Abs. Abstracts International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis July 16-20, 2007 Gabor Somorjai, Ed. University of California, Berkeley, CA Preface The International Symposium on Relations between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis (ISHHC) has a long and distinguished history. Since 1974, in Brussels, this event has been held in Lyon, France (1977), Gr¨oningen, The Netherlands (1981); Asilomar, California (1983); Novosibirsk, Russia (1986); Pisa, Italy (1989); Tokyo, Japan (1992); Balatonf¨ured, Hungary (1995); Southampton, United Kingdom (1999); Lyon, France (2001); Evanston, Illinois (2001) and Florence, Italy (2005). The aim of this international conference in Berkeley is to bring together practitioners in the three fields of catalysis, heterogeneous, homogeneous and enzyme, which utilize mostly nanosize particles. Recent advances in instrumentation, synthesis and reaction studies permit the nanoscale characterization of the catalyst systems, often for the same reaction, under similar experimental conditions. It is hoped that this circumstance will permit the development of correlations of these three different fields of catalysis on the molecular level. To further this goal we aim to uncover and focus on common concepts that emerge from nanoscale studies of structures and dynamics of the three types of catalysts. Another area of focus that will be addressed is the impact on and correlation of nanosciences with catal- ysis. There is information on the electronic and atomic structures of nanoparticles and their dynamics that should have importance in catalyst design and catalytic activity and selectivity. There are over 300 attendees registered for this meeting attesting to the vitality of these fields of sci- ence. We look forward to making your visit in Berkeley enjoyable as well as scientifically rewarding. Gabor A.

    Abstract LEE, JOHN P. Synthesis, Characterization and Reactivity of Ru(II) and Rh(I) Hydrocarbyl and Hydride Complexes. (Under the direction of Professor T. Brent Gunnoe.) The hydroarylation of multiple bonds is the addition of an aromatic C-H bond across a C=X (X = C, N or O) bond to produce new C-C bonds. Our group has been studying Ru(II) complexes of the type TpRu(L)(NCMe)R {Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate; L = CO, PMe3, P(N-pyrrolyl)3 and P(OCH2)CEt; R = Me or Ph} for the catalytic hydroarylation of non-functionalized olefins. Insertion of the C=X (X = heteroatom) bond into a metal-aryl bond is a key step in catalytic hydroarylation reactions. Herein, insertion reactions of substrates that possess C-X multiple bonds into the Ru-Ph (Ph = phenyl) bond of TpRu(L)(NCMe)Ph (L = CO or PMe3) complexes have been explored. The results of these efforts have increased understanding of factors that control the insertion process. For example, the reaction of TpRu(CO)(NCMe)Ph with either N,N΄-di-n-hexylcarbodiimide or N,N΄-di-phenylcarbodiimide produces the amidinate complexes TpRu(CO){N,N-(R)NC(Ph)N(R)}(R = n-hexyl or phenyl). Heating TpRu(CO)(NCMe)Ph in the presence of t-butylisonitrile followed by addition of trimethylphosphine results in an equilibrium between TpRu(CO)(CNtBu)Ph and t TpRu(CO){C(Ph)=N( Bu)}(PMe3). Heating TpRu(CO)(NCMe)Ph in the presence of aldehydes results in the decarbonylation of the organic to produce TpRu(CO)2Ar (Ar = phenyl or p-tolyl) and benzene.

Various arene substrates bearing nitrogen and oxygen directing groups are covered in their coupling with unsaturated partners such as alkenes and alkynes. The facile construction of C–E (E = C, N, S, or O) bonds makes Rh(III) catalysis an attractive step-economic approach to value-added molecules from readily available starting materials. Comparisons and contrasts between rhodium(III) and palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative coupling are made. The remarkable diversity of structures accessible is demonstrated with various recent examples, with a proposed mechanism for each transformation being briefly summarized (critical review, 138 references). 1. Introduction for the synthesis of value-added complex structures. Due to the high dissociation energy of C–H bonds (105 kcal molÀ1 for The demand for green and sustainable chemistry has inspired methane and 110 kcal molÀ1 for benzene), metal-mediation is chemists to seek efficient and economic ways to construct often necessary.

Since Murai’s pioneering work in ruthenium catalyzed regioselective arene-alkene coupling reaction, a number of transition metal catalysts have been developed for C-C bond formation via C-H bond activation. However, metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization faces a number of long-standing challenges such as the control over regio- and stereoselectivity and harsh reaction conditions. Presented herein is our research on the development of ruthenium(II)-based catalysts for new and improved methods in C-C bond formations by formal activation of sp2 C-H bonds and subsequent coupling with alkyne substrates. Chapter 1 introduces the background of alkyne hydroarylation initiated by transition metal- catalyzed C-H bond activation and the significance to develop new strategies to overcome the limitations of current methods.

  • A Review of New Developments in the Friedel–Crafts Alkylation – from Green Chemistry to Asymmetric Catalysis
    A review of new developments in the Friedel–Crafts alkylation – From green chemistry to asymmetric catalysis Magnus Rueping*1 and Boris J.

Clayden Boris J. Nachtsheim* - [email protected] © 2010 Rueping and Nachtsheim; licensee Beilstein-Institut. * Corresponding author License and terms: see end of document. Keywords: allyl alcohols; arene; asymmetric Friedel–Crafts reaction; benzyl alcohols; Friedel–Crafts alkylation; green chemistry; hydroalkylation; hydroarylation; Lewis-acid catalysis; propargyl alcohols Abstract The development of efficient Friedel–Crafts alkylations of arenes and heteroarenes using only catalytic amounts of a Lewis acid has gained much attention over the last decade. The new catalytic approaches described in this review are favoured over classical Friedel–Crafts conditions as benzyl-, propargyl- and allyl alcohols, or styrenes, can be used instead of toxic benzyl halides. Addi- tionally, only low catalyst loadings are needed to provide a wide range of products. Following a short introduction about the origin and classical definition of the Friedel–Crafts reaction, the review will describe the different environmentally benign substrates which can be applied today as an approach towards greener processes. Additionally, the first diastereoselective and enantiose- lective Friedel–Crafts-type alkylations will be highlighted.
