Boryl-assisted hydrogenolysis of a nickel-methyl bond.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stable nickel(II) methyl complex containing a diphosphino-boryl (PBP) pincer ligand is described. Mechanistic studies on the hydrogenolysis of the Ni-Me bond suggest a metal ligand cooperation mechanism that involves the intermediacy of a σ-B-H Ni(0) species that further undergoes B-H oxidative addition to form a Ni(II) hydride complex.

Nickel-mediated hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds of aryl ethers: what is the source of the hydrogen?
Mechanistic studies of the hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers by nickel were undertaken with (diphosphine)aryl methyl ethers. A Ni(0) complex containing Ni-arene interactions adjacent to the aryl-O bond was isolated. Heating led to aryl-O bond activation and generation of a nickel aryl methoxide complex. Formal β-H elimination from this species produced a nickel aryl hydride which can undergo reduct...
متن کاملSelective, nickel-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers.
Selective hydrogenolysis of the aromatic carbon-oxygen (C-O) bonds in aryl ethers is an unsolved synthetic problem important for the generation of fuels and chemical feedstocks from biomass and for the liquefaction of coal. Currently, the hydrogenolysis of aromatic C-O bonds requires heterogeneous catalysts that operate at high temperature and pressure and lead to a mixture of products from com...
متن کاملChemo- and Regioselective Hydrogenolysis of Diaryl Ether C-O Bonds by a Robust Heterogeneous Ni/C Catalyst: Applications to the Cleavage of Complex Lignin-Related Fragments.
We report the chemo- and regioselective hydrogenolysis of the C-O bonds in di-ortho-substituted diaryl ethers under the catalysis of a supported nickel catalyst. The catalyst comprises heterogeneous nickel particles supported on activated carbon and furnishes arenes and phenols in high yields without hydrogenation. The high thermal stability of the embedded metal particles allows C-O bond cleav...
متن کاملDissociative Adsorption and Hydrogenolysis of Ethane over Clean and Ni-Covered
The hydrogenolysis of ethane has been investigated on clean and Ni-covered Pt( 1 1 1) at reactant partial pressures between 0.5 and 4 Torr of ethane and between 80 and 270 Torr of hydrogen and for surface temperatures from 550 to 640 K. On clean Pt( 1 1 1) the hydrogenolysis reaction proceeds with an activation energy of 36.6 kcal/mol and reaction orders in C2H6 and H2 pressures of 1 and -1.8, ...
متن کاملAniline hydrogenolysis on nickel: effects of surface hydrogen and surface structure
Fluorescence yield near-edge spectroscopy (FYNES) above the carbon K edge and temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) have been used as the methods for characterizing the reactivity and structure of adsorbed aniline and aniline derived species on the Ni(100) and Ni(111) surfaces over an extended range of temperatures and hydrogen pressures. The Ni(100) surface shows appreciably high...
