However, transition metals can react with molecular hydrogen to generate metal hydrides that react with olefins Mechanistically, hydrogenation occurs with syn addition, but without violating symmetry rules. olefin isomerization on the catalyst surface leads to apparent anti-addition products. Isomerization usually occurs with Pd Hydrogenation can be catalyzed by either a homogenous or a but not Pt catalysts that bind to olefin irreversibly. Pt catalysts heterogeneous metal catalyst. In classic hydrogenation typically favor C=O over C=C reduction, especially when reactions, metal hydride is the key species that reacts with poisoned.

Monohydrides and dihydrides have different reactivities. surface that provides no over-reduction and cis/trans For example, HRh(PPh3)3(CO) is specific for terminal alkenes isomerization.

However, the hydride coordination site can be with olefins. Hydrogen ligands on transition metals, acidic or hard to find when the ligands are too big. For example, the hydridic, are always referred to as “hydrides”. The name of phosphine ligands of complex HRh(PPh3)4 take the four metal “hydrides” originates from the observation of upfield-shift corners of a tetrahedron. of hydrogen ligands in 1H NMR. However, the shift arises from the shielding effect of the partially filled d orbitals on the transition metal leading to mixing of low-lying electronic excited states into the ground state. The typical value for δM-H ranges from –5 to –25 ppm for d1 to d9 metal hydrides, but >0 ppm for 0 10 d and d metal hydrides. 6 HMn(CO)5 d δ –7.5 pKa 7.1 6 H2Fe(CO)4 d pKa 4.0 8 HCo(CO)4 d δ –10.7 pKa ≈ HCl, HNO3 8 HCo(CO)3P(OPh)3 d pKa 5.0 HMn(CO)5 8 HCo(CO)3PPh3 d pKa 7.0 0 H2ZrCp*2 d δ 7.46 HRh(PPh3)4 10 HCuP(p-Tol)3 d δ 3.50 Both the thermodynamic and kinetic acidity decrease going down the column of periodic table, with Cr>Mo>W, Fe>Ru>Os, but Pd<Ni<Pt, and increase from left to right across a row of the periodic table, with Zr-H and Ti-H being the most hydridic. In terms of the kinetic acidity, M-H is more similar to C-H (carbon acid) and the deprotonation rate is significantly slower than that of O-H or N-H. 1 Although the H chemical shift of HCo(CO)4 occurs at δ –10.7 in NMR, this metal “hydride” is highly acidic. It is somewhat weaker than HBr and H2SO4 and approximately equal to HCl H Re(PMePh ) and HNO . 5 2 3 3 2 Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis ─ Hydrogenation and Hydrofunctionalization Chen Hydride can also exist as a bridged ligand by forming a three- In addition to forming a µ2-H structure, the hydride can also center two-electron bond. Nearly all M(μ2-H)M structures adopt bridge multiple metal atoms to give µ3-H, µ4-H, µ5-H and µ6-H a non-linear geometry. As many as four bridging hydrides structures. between two metals have been observed.

Metal hydrides can be generated from homolytic or heterolytic cleavage of H-H. Oxidative addition of hydrogen to metals gives metal hydrides with homolytic cleavage of H-H. Two- electron oxidative addition gives metal dihydrides while one- electron oxidative addition provides metal monohydrides.

Same with oxidative coordinatively unsaturated complexes. addition, the metal center needs to have an empty orbital for 0 H2-binding. The only way that early transition metals with a d configuration react with hydrogen is through hydrogenolysis. Lanthanides and actinides also favor hydrogenolysis. The hydrogen ligand is acidified (ΔpKa up to 30 units) by the σ- binding of M-(H2). Metal hydrides can thus be produced by heterolytic cleavage of H-H through deprotonation with an + Reaction of Ir(cod)(PPh3) with 8-methylquinoline gave a external base. Protonation of the alkyl or halide ligand by the complex with an agostic C-H that non-dissociatively bound to Ir hydrogen ligand is referred to as hydrogenolysis. Conversely, via a 2-electron 3-centre C-H-Ir bridge.

The water molecule of iridium complex H(H2O)Ir + (bq)(PPh3)2 is readily replaced by a hydrogen molecule. Based on HD isotope labeling experiments, there is also an exchange of the hydrogen atom between the Ir-H and Ir(H2) ligands through a trihydride intermediate. Heterolytic cleavage of H-H is favored over homolytic cleavage in polar environments commonly used for electrochemical or enzymatic reactions. Hydrogenase enzymes use bifunctional interaction to facilitate the heterolysis of H-H. 5 Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis ─ Hydrogenation and Hydrofunctionalization Chen The Wilkinson’s catalyst and Schrock–Osborn catalyst Wilkinson, Coffey, Vaska, and Bennett reported in 1965 the synthesis of the first practical hydrogenation catalyst Iguchi discovered in 1930s that catalytic hydrogenation can be Rh(PPh3)3Cl.

Hydrogenation of terminal acetylene is faster than terminal olefin due to better binding and easier insertion especially when carried out with trifluoroethanol as a co-solvent.

  • Production of Cyclohexane Through Catalytic Hydrogenation of Benzene
    Production of Cyclohexane through Catalytic Hydrogenation of Benzene Background Cyclohexane is industrially produced from Benzene as it is not a naturally available resource. Cyclohexane undergoes oxidation reactions yielding Cyclohexanone and Cyclohexanol which are precursors for the production of Adipic acid and Caprolactum. Caprolactum is the raw material used for producing polymer Nylon-6. Benzene reacts with a mixture of hydrogen and methane in contact with a Nickel based catalyst producing Cyclohexane. The conversion of this vapour phase reaction is almost 99%. Reaction involved: Benzene + Hydrogen Cyclohexane (Vapour Phase) Reactor Used: Catalytic Packed Bed Conversion Reactor Reactor conditions: Outlet Temperature = 497 K, Pressure Drop = 1.02 atm Catalyst Used: Nickel Based Process Description Fresh benzene (370 kmol/h) and excess hydrogen (1470 kmol/h) is preheated to a temperature of 422 K and sent to a packed bed reactor. A vapour phase reaction occurs in the reactor at 497 K which converts benzene to cyclohexane through catalytic hydrogenation of benzene. The conversion of this reaction is about 99%. The reactor products are cooled to 370 K and sent through a pressure reduction valve which reduces the pressure of the stream from 30 atm to 24 atm. A two stage separator separates the product cyclohexane from unreacted hydrogen and methane- first at a high pressure (24 atm) and then at a lower pressure (3 atm). The unreacted hydrogen-methane mixture is recovered from the top of the flash column and is sent to a splitter having a splittling ratio of 9:1. The smaller stream is sent as a recycle stream and mixes with fresh hydrogen, while the rest is drawn out as fuel gas for incinerators.

    Transfer Hydrogenation: Employing a Simple, in situ Prepared Catalytic System Thesis by Eleanor Pei Ling Ang In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia © April, 2017 Eleanor Ang Pei Ling All Rights Reserved 2 EXAMINATION COMMITTEE PAGE The thesis of Eleanor Pei Ling Ang is approved by the examination committee. Committee Chairperson: Prof. Kuo-Wei Huang Committee Members: Prof. Jörg Eppinger Prof. Zhiping Lai 3 ABSTRACT Transfer hydrogenation has been recognized to be an important synthetic method in both academic and industrial research to obtain valuable products including alcohols. Transition metal catalysts based on precious metals, such as Ru, Rh and Ir, are typically employed for this process. In recent years, iron-based catalysts have attracted considerable attention as a greener and more sustainable alternative since iron is earth abundant, inexpensive and non-toxic. In this work, a combination of iron disulfide with chelating bipyridine ligand was found to be effective for the transfer hydrogenation of a variety of ketones to the corresponding alcohols in the presence of a simple base. It provided a convenient and economical way to conduct transfer hydrogenation. A plausible role of sulfide next to the metal center in facilitating the catalytic reaction is demonstrated. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Kuo-Wei Huang, for his guidance, support, valuable insights and advice throughout the course of this research. I would also like to acknowledge Prof. Jörg Eppinger and Prof. Zhiping Lai for their kind agreement to be part of my examination committee.

  • Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts
    Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts Daniel E. Resasco School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of Oklahoma Encyclopedia of Catalysis January, 2000 1. INTRODUCTION Catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes is an endothermic reaction, which occurs with an increase in the number of moles and can be represented by the expression Alkane ! Olefin + Hydrogen This reaction cannot be carried out thermally because it is highly unfavorable compared to the cracking of the hydrocarbon, since the C-C bond strength (about 246 kJ/mol) is much lower than that of the C-H bond (about 363 kJ/mol). However, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, dehydrogenation can be carried out with minimal C-C bond rupture. The strong C-H bond is a closed-shell σ orbital that can be activated by oxide or metal catalysts. Oxides can activate the C-H bond via hydrogen abstraction because they can form O-H bonds, which can have strengths comparable to that of the C- H bond. By contrast, metals cannot accomplish the hydrogen abstraction because the M- H bonds are much weaker than the C-H bond. However, the sum of the M-H and M-C bond strengths can exceed the C-H bond strength, making the process thermodynamically possible. In this case, the reaction is thought to proceed via a three centered transition state, which can be described as a metal atom inserting into the C-H bond. The C-H bond bridges across the metal atom until it breaks, followed by the formation of the corresponding M-H and M-C bonds.1 Therefore, dehydrogenation of alkanes can be carried out on oxides as well as on metal catalysts.

During the past several decades, phosphorous-containing ligands have been extensively studied in transition metal - catalyzed transformations particularly asymmetric hydrogenations. Development of new chiral ligands and efficient catalyst systems for various prochiral unsaturated substrates in asymmetric hydrogenations are the focus of this dissertation. An important family of atropisomeric biaryl bisphosphine ligands, C3*-TunePhos and related bisaminophosphines have been designed and synthesized. The Ru catalysts of the highly modular C3*-TunePhos have been proved to be highly efficient (up to 99.8% ee, up to 1,000,000 TON) for practical asymmetric hydrogenations of a wide range of unfunctionalized ketones as well as α-, β- keto esters and N-2-substituted allylphthalimides. The synthetic utility of bisaminophosphine ligands was studied for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of α-dehydroamino acid esters, affording up to 98% ee’s.
