Ruthenium-8-quinolinethiolate-phenylterpyridine versus ruthenium-bipyridine-phenyl-terpyridine complexes as homogeneous water and high temperature stable hydrogenation catalysts for biomass-derived substrates
摘要:
[(4'-Ph-terpy)(bipy)Ru(L)](OTf)(n) and [(4'-Ph-terpy)(quS)Ru(L)](OTf)(n) (n = 0 or 1 depending on the charge of L, L = labile ligand, e.g., H2O, CH3CN or OTf, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, quS = quinoline-8-thiolate) have been evaluated as catalysts for the hydrogenation of the biomass-derivable C6-substrates 2,5-dimethylfuran (obtainable from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) and 2,5-hexanedione (the hydrolysis product of 2,5-dimethylfuran). Operating in aqueous acidic medium at T = 175-225 degrees C the bipy complex is only marginally active, while the quinoline-8-thiolate complex realizes yields of hydrogenated products up to 97% starting from 2,5-hexanedione and up to 66% starting from 2,5-dimethylfuran. The catalyst can also convert the 5-HMF derived acetone 4-(5-methyl-2-furanyl)-3-buten-2-one into 2,5,8-nonatriol, a potentially valuable cross-linker for polymer formulations. On the basis of DFT calculations, the higher activity of the quinoline-8-thiolate complex is proposed to be rooted in a metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism for the heterolytic activation and transfer of dihydrogen to the carbonyl substrate with the hydride-thiol complex [(4'-Ph-terpy)(quSH)Ru(H)r as the active catalyst.

A series of monoprotected glycerol homologues and triols were prepared in high overall yields (>90%) via the hydroboration-oxidation of the corresponding dienols. Hydroboration with disiamylborane and concomitant alkaline oxidation (NaOH, H2O2) was found to be a mild, high-yielding, and highly efficient method for the construction of a variety of glycerol homologues.
