چکیده

Pt supported on alpha-Al2O3, gamma-Al2O3 and SiO2 pre-modified with cinchonidine gives over 50% ee in the hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate to methyl lactate using gas phase reactants at 40 degrees C giving the first clear observation of high enantioselection at the gas/solid interface.

Determination of geometric orientation of adsorbed cinchonidine on Pt and Fe and quiphos on Pt nanoclusters via DRIFTS.

Platinum nanoclusters modified with cinchonidine have been employed as 'quasi-homogeneous' catalysts for the hydrogenation of ethyl pyruvate and have demonstrated exceptional activities while the ee's of these systems are currently inferior to the traditional Pt/Al2O3 heterogeneous system. For the bulk systems it has been shown that the orientation of the modifier on the metal surface is a crit...

The origin of chemo- and enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of diketones on platinum.

In the Pt-catalyzed hydrogenation of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-diketones, addition of trace amounts of cinchonidine, O-methyl-cinchonidine, or (R,R)-pantoyl-naphthylethylamine induces up to 93% ee and enhances the chemoselectivity up to 100% in the hydrogenation of the activated carbonyl group to an OH function. A combined catalytic, NMR and FTIR spectroscopic, and theoretical study revealed that the...

Effect of textural properties of Ni (Nano)-supported catalysts on the selective benzene hydrogenation in the vapor phase

Ni catalysts supported on Nano porous catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and tested for vapor phase hydrogenation of benzene. The textural and physico-chemical properties of Ni catalysts were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The catalytic evaluation reve...

Enhanced hydrogenation activity and diastereomeric interactions of methyl pyruvate co-adsorbed with R-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine on Pd(111)

Unmodified racemic sites on heterogeneous chiral catalysts reduce their overall enantioselectivity, but this effect is mitigated in the Orito reaction (methyl pyruvate (MP) hydrogenation to methyl lactate) by an increased hydrogenation reactivity. Here, this effect is explored on a R-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (NEA)-modified Pd(111) model catalyst where temperature-programmed desorption experimen...

Enantioselective Hydrogenation on Cinchona-Modified Metal Catalysts:Mechanistic Implications of Acid Additive

The enantioselective hydrogenation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2pyrone in the presence of acetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid has been studied on cinchonidine-modified Pd/TiO2. Catalytic experiments and theoretical calculations indicate the formation of a cinchonidine–trifluoroacetic acid cyclic ion pair. We propose that this is the actual modifier, which interacts with 4-hydroxy-6-methyl2-pyrone in...
