A CO-Derived Iron Dicarbyne That Releases Olefin upon Hydrogenation

A CO-derived iron dicarbyne that releases olefin upon hydrogenation.

An iron diphosphineborane platform that was previously reported to facilitate a high degree of N2 functionalization is herein shown to effect reductive CO coupling. Disilylation of an iron dicarbonyl precursor furnishes a structurally unprecedented iron dicarbyne complex. Several complexes related to this process are also characterized which allows for a comparative analysis of their respective...

Olefin Hydrogenation with Iron Carbonyls as Catalysts

O estudo de [Fe(CO)5], [Fe2(CO)9] e [Fe3(CO)12] como precursores catalíticos nas reações de hidrogenação do ciclohexeno e 1-hexeno foi efetuado. Um reator fotoquímico com fluxo de H2 e irradiação UV-vis foi usado no processo. Os espectros infravermelho das amostras mostraram a formação de [Fe(CO)4(olefina)] e [HFe(CO)3(π-alila)] como intermediários. A atividade mostrada do [Fe2(CO)9] na hidroge...

Boryl-metal bonds facilitate cobalt/nickel-catalyzed olefin hydrogenation.

New approaches toward the generation of late first-row metal catalysts that efficiently facilitate two-electron reductive transformations (e.g., hydrogenation) more typical of noble-metal catalysts is an important goal. Herein we describe the synthesis of a structurally unusual S = 1 bimetallic Co complex, [((Cy)PBP)CoH]2 (1), supported by bis(phosphino)boryl and bis(phosphino)hydridoborane lig...

Unravelling the reaction path of rhodium-MonoPhos-catalysed olefin hydrogenation.

The mechanism of the asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl (Z)-2-acetamidocinnamate (mac) catalysed by [Rh(MonoPhos)(2)(nbd)]SbF(6) (MonoPhos: 3,5-dioxa-4-phosphacyclohepta[2,1-a:3,4-a']dinaphthalen-4-yl)dimethylamine) was elucidated by using (1)H, (31)P and (103)Rh NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS. The use of nbd allows one to obtain in pure form the rhodium complex that contains two units of the liga...
