ABSTRACT Karimi, F., 2002. [11C]Carbon Monoxide in Palladium- / Selenium-Promoted Carbonylation Reactions. Synthesis of 11C-imides, hydrazides, amides, carboxylic acids, carboxylic esters, carbothioates, ketones and carbamoyl compounds. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 769. 43 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5452-6. [11C]Carbon monoxide in low concentrations has been used in palladium- or selenium- mediated carbonylation reactions such as the synthesis of 11C-imides, hydrazides, amides, carboxylic acids, esters, carbothioates, ketones and carbamoyl compounds. In these reactions aryl iodides have been used in most cases. However, less reactive aryl triflate, chloride and bromides were activated using tetrabutylammonium iodide. The reactivities of nucleophiles may have influence on the radiochemical yield of the 11C- labelled compounds. Carboxyamination of aryl halides using aniline derivatives yielded 10% of the corresponding 11C-amide. However, the radiochemical yields increased significantly when the aniline derivatives were treated with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide. In contrast, this reagent did not improve the radiochemical yields when primary amines such as methylamine and benzylamine were used. In these cases the radiochemical yields were improved by using pempidine. 11C-Esterification usually gave low yields. However, the radiochemical yields of 11C-esters could be improved by using magnesium bromide and pempidine. An excess of ligand may have a significant impact on palladium-promoted carbonylation reaction. The radiochemical yields of 11C-ketones were improved when using excess amounts of tri-o-tolylphosphine. (13C)Carbon monoxide may be utilized for the synthesis of 13C-substituated compounds in order to confirm the position of 11C-labelling.

The interaction between the metals of the bimetallic catalyst and the structure of the bridged dimer can effectively reduce the steric hindrance effect and help speed up the reaction rate while ensuring the stability of the catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that rhodium accepts electrons from chlorine, thereby increasing the electron-rich nature of rhodium and improving the catalytic activity. This promotes the nucleophilic reaction of the catalyst with methyl iodide and reduces the reaction energy barrier. The methanol carbonylation performance of the Rh/Ru catalyst was evaluated, and the results show that the conversion rate of methyl acetate and the yield of acetic acid are 96.0% under certain conditions. Furthermore, during the catalysis, no precipitate is formed and the amount of water is greatly reduced.

  • 39 Transition Metal Ketenes Laura M. Babcock Literature Seminar March 19, 1985 the Mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch Catalysis Is
    39 Transition Metal Ketenes Laura M. Babcock Literature Seminar March 19, 1985 The mechanism of Fischer-Tropsch catalysis is presently believed to pro­ ceed via reactions involving methylene species on metal surfaces [1]. Muetterties, Herrmann, and Katzer [2] have suggested that carbonyl carbene coupling to form an intermediate ketene complex is one reaction path which could lead to oxygen-containing products. Support for these ketene inter­ mediates arises from the ever increasing number of isolable, transition metal ketene complexes and their subsequent reactivity. Transition metal ketenes have been observed in several different bonding arrangements. C ,0 and C ,C 'TT-bonding to one or two metal centers have been reported. Terminal, MRC~C=O, and µ cluster bridged ketene complexes are 3 also known. There are three primary methods for synthesizing transition metal ketenes. Substitution reactions bind a ketene to the metal center by displacement of a weakly Mund ligand [ 3]. Dehydrohalogena tion, a general synthetic route to ketene complexes of zr ·and Ti, involves proton abstraction from the acyl~halo complex followed by displacement of the halogen by the ketene oxygen [4]. Insertion of a carbonyl into the metal carbon bond of a methylene ligand is, however, the most common method for preparing metal ketenes [5]. CO insertion into other alkylidenes and alkylidynes has been observed as well, Fig. 1. L3bellng and reactivity studies on several systems 0s(C0)4 a . /~ .

  • ACETIC ACID and ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 37B ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994) This Report presents preliminary process designs and estimated economics for the manufacture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride by carbonylation technology. The three processes evaluated in this report include Monsanto’s low pressure carbonylation of methanol process (BP Chemical acquired licensing rights to this process in 1985), Eastman’s process for carbonylation of methyl acetate to produce acetic anhydride (methanol added to the reaction mixture results in the coproduction of acetic acid in this process), and a process based on BP Chemical patents that coproduces acetic acid and acetic anhydride via carbonylation of methyl acetate in the presence of water. Both the Eastman and BP Chemical processes are back– integrated into the manufacture of the methyl acetate feedstock from methanol and acetic acid. We have included a discussion of other commercialized acetic acid and acetic anhydride processes as well as potential new processes. A list of the world’s acetic acid and acetic anhydride producers along with their estimated plant capacities and a description of the major acetic acid and acetic anhydride markets are also included in this Report. This Report will be useful to producers of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, as well as to producers of methanol and downstream products such as vinyl acetate monomer.

D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 2 MODULE 1: METAL CARBONYLS LECTURE #1 1. INTRODUCTION: Justus von Liebig attempted initial experiments on reaction of carbon monoxide with metals in 1834. However, it was demonstrated later that the compound he claimed to be potassium carbonyl was not a metal carbonyl at all. After the synthesis of [PtCl2(CO)2] and [PtCl2(CO)]2 reported by Schutzenberger (1868) followed by [Ni(CO)4] reported by Mond et al (1890), Hieber prepared numerous compounds containing metal and carbon monoxide. Compounds having at least one bond between carbon and metal are known as organometallic compounds. Metal carbonyls are the transition metal complexes of carbon monoxide containing metal-carbon bond. Lone pair of electrons are available on both carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon monoxide ligand. However, as the carbon atoms donate electrons to the metal, these complexes are named as carbonyls. A variety of such complexes such as mono nuclear, poly nuclear, homoleptic and mixed ligand are known. These compounds are widely studied due to industrial importance, catalytic properties and structural interest. V. D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 3 Carbon monoxide is one of the most important π- acceptor ligand. Because of its π- acidity, carbon monoxide can stabilize zero formal oxidation state of metals in carbonyl complexes. 2.

Krummel, Chan Pek Ke*, Leong Weng Kee*, and Marc Garland Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering 4 Engineering Drive 4 National University of Singapore SINGAPORE 117576 *Department of Chemistry 3 Science Drive 3 Singapore 117543 Keywords: carbonylation, iridium half-sandwich complexes, in situ FTIR, alkane activation, chemometrics Prepared for Presentation at the 2004 Annual Meeting AIChE November 2004 Unpublished AIChE Shall Not Be Responsible For Statements or Opinions Contained in Papers or Printed in its Publications Abstract Direct observation of carbonylated and dehydrogenated products from cyclohexane was made via in situ FTIR monitored reaction of half-sandwich iridium dicarbonyl metal centers under carbon monoxide atmosphere. Variation of pressure in semibatch experiments allows for the detection of aldehydes as well as alkene. Changing atmosphere from carbon monoxide to compressed air resulted in ketone formation. Initial product detection was made via GC-MS and pure component IR spectra of the individual products was made possible through recently developed chemometrics- Band Target Entropy Minimization (BTEM). This also allowed for detection degradation products and previously unobserved metal carbonyl species were observed. BTEM also allowed for previously unobserved unseen details in the pure component spectra of the common activated alkane intermediate. Further confirmation of product identity was provided through spectroscopic comparison (IR and NMR) and gas chromatographic (GC-FID) comparison of samples obtained through experiment and those commercially available. It can be concluded that iridium half-sandwich complexes can be used to promote carbonylation of saturated alkanes under photoirradiation. 1.0 Introduction Alkanes make up a significant portion of the world’s carbon reserves.
