New Catalysts and New Synthetic Applications for Hydroformylation DGMK/SCI-Conference „Synthesis Gas Chemistry", October 4-6, 2006, Dresden, Germany New Catalysts and New Synthetic Applications for Hydroformylation Bernhard Breit Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Institut fur Organische Chemie & Biochemie, Germany Abstract In the course of this lecture most recent advances in rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation and its use in organic synthesis are presented. Particular emphasis is given to regioselective hydroformylation of terminal alkenes and its application to fine chemical synthesis as well as latest results and applications of asymmetric hydroformylation. Furthermore, a new concept for simultaneous control of regio- and stereochemistry employing catalyst-directing groups will be discussed in detail. Finally, a new concept for catalyst library generation based on ligand-self-assembly through complementary hydrogen bonding and its application to regioselective hydroformylation as well as asymmetric hydrogenation is presented. Introduction The hydroformylation of olefins, which was discovered as early as 1938 by Otto Roelen, is today one of the largest industrially applied processes which relies on homogeneous catalysis (Scheme 1).1 More than 8 million tons of oxo products are produced per year of which the majority stems from propene hydroformylation with butanal and butanol, respectively being the major products.2 These commodities end up primarily as butyl acrylate which is an important comonomer for the production of polymer dispersions. catalyst CHO CO/H2 R^ Me R^ .CHO R + linear branched Scheme 1 In addition to this industrial aspect, the hydroformylation of olefins is a very attractive transformation for organic synthesis. Thus, addition of CO and H2 to an alkene function provides a new carbon carbon and a new carbon hydrogen bond. Both bond forming events could eventually lead to the formation of a new stereocenter. Simultaneously, the reaction introduces the synthetically useful aldehyde function, which elaborates the product for additional carbon skeleton expanding operations. The reaction requires only catalytic amounts of a late transition metal catalyst, with rhodium(I) complexes being the most active and selective catalysts for this reaction, and all atoms of the starting materials remain incorporated into the product. Hence, this reaction is a prototype of an atom economic transformation with all its associated economic and environmental advantages. 3 From a synthetic aspect it is interesting to note, that a benefit of the alkene function is its inertness to a large set of reagents and conditions which allows this functionality to be carried through a number of steps in a synthetic sequence, until the final one carbon chain elongation via hydroformylation is desired. However, despite these advantages and contrary to its industrial importance the hydroformylation has not been of frequent use in organic synthesis yet. This discrepancy is primarily due to the difficulty to control selectivity issues such as regioselectivity, DGMK-Tagungsbericht 2006-4, ISBN 3-936418-57-8 33 diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity throughout the course of the hydroformylation reaction. 4 Regioselective hydroformylation of terminal alkenes Much progress has been made on regioselective hydroformylation of terminal alkenes in favor of the linear product. In particular bidentate phosphine or phosphite ligands which have a natural bite angle of about 110 degrees will favor the linear product. The most successful ligand types are BISBI,5 BIPHEPHOS6 and XANTPHOS7 systems (Scheme 2).

Particularly attractive are Tandem type transformations in which the aldehyde as the hydroformylation product undergoes in situ further reactions with appropriate nucleophiles. Recent examples are the synthesis of conformationally restricted dipeptide surrogates employing Tandem hydroformylation intramolecular aminal formation (Scheme 3).8 [Rh(CO) 2acac] CO/H2 4 bar, C6H6, 60 C BIPHEPHOS BocHN O COOMe O COOMe S:Rh:L (50:1:2) (90%) Scheme 3 Another example that includes an additional skeleton extension is the Tandem regioselective hydroformylation/Knoevenagel condensation/hydrogenation reaction. Here, the rhodium catalyst employed in this reaction plays a dual role. First, it functions as a hydroformylation catalyst and second, after Knoevenagel condensation, as a hydrogenation catalyst for the electron poor bis-acceptor substituted alkene (Scheme 4).9 [Rh(CO) 2acac] CO/H2 20 bar, Me Toluene, 60 C Me Piperidine/AcOH (0.2 equiv.)

But still a major problem in this field is the simultaneous control of enantio- and regioselectivity which limits the structural variety of suitable alkenes for enantioselective hydroformylation significantly (Scheme 5). 4 Rh(I)/L* Me CO/H2 fgr"'^ FG R FGR/Sl L* = O (R,S)-BINAPHOS linear branched 12 88 (94% ee) 79 21 (83% ee) 14 86 (92% ee) 13 87 (96% ee) Second generation BINAPHOS type ligands have been developed recently.11 A new structural feature is the replacement of the phosphite donor by a phosphoramidite system. Improved enantioselectivities were noted albeit the problem of regioselectivity persists (Scheme 6).

While aryl alkenes as well as heteroatom-substituted alkenes favor the chiral branched isomer, for aliphatic alkenes such an intrinsic element of regiocontrol is not available. As a matter of fact branched selective and asymmetric hydroformylation of aliphatic alkenes stands as an unsolved problem. In this respect regio- and enantioselective hydroformylation of allyl cyanide employing a chiral bisphosphite(Kelliphite)/rhodium catalyst is a remarkable result (Scheme 8).13 After successive reduction of aldehyde and nitrile function the resulting amino alcohol could serve as a potential intermediate for the construction of TAK-637, a compound in development of Takeda Chemical Industries for urinary continence.

Of particular use have proved directed hydroformylation variants making use of attractive substrate-catalyst interactions by way of substrate-bound catalyst-directing groups (Scheme 10) ,15 '16 = o-DPPB Scheme 10 Thus, transformation of an allylic or homoallylic alcohol into a corresponding ortho- diphenylphosphanylbenzoate ester (o-DPPB) allows the regio- and stereoselective hydroformylation of a wide range of substrates in good to excellent levels of diastereoselectivity (Scheme 11).17 O(oDPPB) (o-DPPB)O Me O R' O Hydroformylation S 99 : 1 96 : 4 O(oDPPB) (o-DPPB)O Me O Met O D 90 : 10 Het = SiR'3, OR1, NPhth S95 : 5 (o-DPPB)O O PGO O(oDPPB) PGO O(oDPPB) Me Me O Me Me O 95 : 5 96 : 4 dr S 98:2; rs S 98:2 Scheme 11 37 When chiral catalyst-directing groups such as the o/?/70-diphenylphosphanylferrocene- carboxylate (o-DPPF) was employed, a desymmetrizing directed hydroformylation of bis- alkenyl- and bis-allyl carbinols could be achieved with excellent chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity (Scheme 12).18 (CDG*) (CDG*) R O R Rh(l) R O R O CO/H2 n = 0, 1 dr up to 99:1 ee > 99% (Sp)-oDPPF and (Rp) Scheme 12 Self-Assembly of monodentate to bidentate ligands - a combinatorial approach to new catalysts Bidentate ligands are important for selectivity control in homogeneous metal complex catalysis. However, the quest for the ultimate ligand which gives a catalyst with optimal activity and selectivity is difficult. Since rational design still does not allow the ligand of choice for a given reaction and substrate to be predicted, the combinatorial synthesis of ligand libraries and their subsequent use has become an additional strategy.

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.

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.

The application of the bidentate, electron-rich we sought to develop an analogous catalyst to enable bisphosphine ligand, 1,3-bis(dicyclohexyl)phosphine- a more general intermolecular transformation. To propane (dcpp), in rhodium(I)-catalyzed intermolecular study this challenging reaction, α-keto amide 2a was ketone hydroacylation is herein described. Isatins and α- chosen as the model ketone substrate, given its ability keto amides are shown to undergo hydroacylation with a to chelate metal centers.[15,16] In the presence of a variety of non-chelating linear and branched aliphatic bisphosphine ligand, chelation of the 1,2-keto amide aldehydes. Also reported is the synthesis of new bidentate unit with concomitant oxidative addition of a simple chiral phosphine ligands, and their application in aldehyde would prevent decarbonylation while hydroacylation is discussed. directing insertion of the ketone into the Rh(III)- hydride (Figure 1). Keywords: ketone; hydroacylation; rhodium; asymmetric catalysis; P ligands While progress has been made in selective C−H oxidation via transition-metal catalyzed ketone hydroacylation,[1-4] the field is still young compared to that of the related ketone hydrosilylation,[5] olefin [6] [7] hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and hydroacylation[8] transformations.

The Rh0 (zero valent state of rhodium) was obtained by calcination. The influence of calcination temperature on catalytic performance of the catalysts was investigated in detail. The catalysts were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), atomic emission spectrometer (ICP), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface-area analyzers. The Rh/MgSNTs(a2) catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity, selectivity and superior cyclicity. The catalyst could be easily recovered by phase separation and was used up to four times. Keywords: silicate nanotubes; Rh; hydroformylation; vinyl acetate 1.
