Mechanism of alkyne alkoxycarbonylation at a Pd catalyst with P,N hemilabile ligands: a density functional study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed mechanism for alkyne alkoxycarbonylation mediated by a palladium catalyst has been characterised at the B3PW91-D3/PCM level of density functional theory (including bulk solvation and dispersion corrections). This transformation, investigated via the methoxycarbonylation of propyne, involves a uniquely dual role for the P,N hemilabile ligand acting co-catalytically as both an in situ base and proton relay coupled with a Pd(0) centre, allowing for surmountable barriers (highest ΔG(≠) of 22.9 kcal mol(-1) for alcoholysis). This proton-shuffle between methanol and coordinated propyne accounts for experimental requirements (high acid concentration) and reproduces observed regioselectivities as a function of ligand structure. A simple ligand modification is proposed, which is predicted to improve catalytic turnover by three orders of magnitude.

A new efficient heterogeneous catalyst was introduced for the epoxidation of styrene. The catalyst was obtained from functionalization of cellulose with N-(2-aminoethyl)acetamide, and then deposition of nanoparticles and Pd(0) nanoparticles on the modified cellulose. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were deposited via chemical oxidation in basic media and Pd(0) nanoparticles we...
