SBM 2014-5 Hydrogenation SBM 2014-5 Hydrogenation – 2 Lectures John Brown L1 Hydrogenation of Alkenes The main elements involved as catalysts in homogeneous hydrogenation are shown General characteristics of OM catalysis Reactive intermediates are coordinatively unsaturated, with 12, 14 or 16 electron valence shells Coordination numbers are commonly 2 – 6, with square planar (4) and trigonal bipyramid or square-based pyramid (5) common The key metals have variable oxidation states with (I - III) or (0 - II - IV) frequent; most (not all!) reactions involve diamagnetic states 3 The Key Metals in Asymmetric Hydrogenation Rhodium P huge range + + Rh or P2Rh of ligands P need strong donor groups (eg enamide) Ruthenium Iridium P P BINAP and related ligands + Ru close relatives Ir 6-ring chelate P N wide range of reactants with alkenes without varying donor groups secondary donor group alkenes or ketones 4 The basic reactions in OM catalysis are simple Ligand association and dissociation: M + L ML PPh3 PPh3 Pd Ph P Pd + PPh3 Example: PPh3 3 Ph3P PPh3 PPh3 solid state solution cis-Ligand Migration O CH3CH2 O O C C CH2CH3 Example: Ph3P Rh Rh Ph P C PPh3 3 PPh3 O Oxidative addition / reductive elimination H PPh3 H2 PPh3 Example: Cl Ir C O H Ir C O Ph P Ph3P 3 Cl 5 Hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes is favoured energetically Heat of reaction in KJmol–1 H H H2 Me Me 152.8 Me Me H H H H H2 H H 118.5 Me Me Me Me H Me H Me H2 H H 114.2 Me H Me H H H H H H 155.9 2 H H H H H H O H2 H OH 55.5 Me Me Me Me Metal surfaces (especially of platinum metals) activate hydrogen and are good hydrogenation catalysts Activation of hydrogen without metals is very rare but examples do exist Make the reaction very exothermic through a high energy starting material – a bulky carbene: i-Pr Me i-Pr Me H Me Me 2 N N i-Pr Me i-Pr Me 35 ˚C H H Frustrated Lewis Pairs (acid and base – one accepts H+, the other H–) F C6F5 F C6F5 H F B F B H2 C6F5 C6F5 t-Bu 25 ˚C t-Bu P F P F H t-Bu F t-Bu F Dihydride and dihydrogen complexes of known structure – this show us how dihydrogen can bond to a transition metal.

Phosphines and alkenes (also alkynes) are bound to the metal through donor and acceptor orbital interactions In the course of the reaction, aided by phosphorus ligands, the metal must be bound to both hydrogen and the alkene: Donor Acceptor Tertiary phosphines Alkenes Chatt Dewar Duncanson Model Alkene M Alkene M Wilkinsons catalyst (1966)- the first practical homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst reflux in C2H5OH RhCl3 ClRh(PPh3)3 xs.

The hydrogen affinity must be strong enough to complex H2, but not too strongly that the dihydride is too stabilized. The substrate – alkene, alkyne or carbonyl compound – must be able to bind to the transition metal centre adjacent to bound hydrogen. Intermediates in the catalytic reaction, and especially the alkylhydride, must break down rapidly. Rapid ligand addition and dissociation is helpful.

  • Insertion Reactions • Oxidative Addition and Substitution Allow Us to Assemble 1E and 2E Ligands on the Metal, Respectively
    Insertion Reactions • Oxidative addition and substitution allow us to assemble 1e and 2e ligands on the metal, respectively. • With insertion, and its reverse reaction, elimination, we can now combine and transform these ligands within the coordination sphere, and ultimately expel these transformed ligands to form free organic compounds. • There are two main types of insertion 1) 1,1 insertion in which the metal and the X ligand end up bound to the same (,)(1,1) atom 2) 1,2 insertion in which the metal and the X ligand end up bound to adjacent (1,2) atoms of an L‐type ligand. • The type of insertion observed in any given case depends on the nature of the 2e inserting ligand. • For example: CO gives only 1,1 insertion ethylene gives only 1,2 insertion, in which the M and the X end up on adjacent atoms of what was the 2e X‐type ligand. In general, η1 ligands tend to give 1,1 insertion and η2 ligands give 1,2 insertion • SO2 is the only common ligan d tha t can give bthboth types of itiinsertion; as a ligan d, SO2 can be η1 (S) or η2 (S, O). • In principle, insertion reactions are reversible, but just as we saw for oxidative addition and reductive elimination previously, for many ligands only one of the two possible directions is observed in practice, probably because this direction is strongly favored thermodynamically. •A2e vacant site is generated by 1,1 and 1,2 insertion reactions. • Thissite can be occupidied byanextlternal 2e ligan d and the itiinsertion prodtduct tdtrapped.

The reaction was more rapid with small electron withdrawing ligands. Insertion reaction between (RC 5H4)Fe(CO) 2R’ (R = H, CH 3; R’ = CH 3, CH 2Ph) and gaseous ligands such as SO 2 and CO were also studied. The insertion of SO 2 occurred readily for all the substrates investigated, but CO insertion did not occur (< 1 %) using the solventless reaction condition.
