  • pd catalyzed selective carbonylation of gem difluoroalkenes a practical synthesis of difluoromethylated esters
    Angewandte Chemie, 2019
    Co-Authors: Ji Yang, Francesco Ferretti, Ralf Jackstell, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    : The first catalyst for the Alkoxycarbonylation of gem-difluoroalkenes is described. This novel catalytic transformation proceeds in the presence of Pd(acac)2 /1,2-bis((di-tert-butylphosphan-yl)methyl)benzene (btbpx) (L4) and allows for an efficient and straightforward access to a range of difluoromethylated esters in high yields and regioselectivities. The synthetic utility of the protocol is showcased in the practical synthesis of a Cyclandelate analogue using this methodology as the key step.

  • selective palladium catalysed synthesis of diesters Alkoxycarbonylation of a co2 butadiene derived δ lactone
    Green Chemistry, 2017
    Co-Authors: Francesco Ferretti, Ralf Jackstell, M. Sharif, S. Dastgir, F. Ragaini, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    Novel unsaturated C10 diesters are produced via the Alkoxycarbonylation of δ-lactone 1 (3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one), derived from the telomerization of CO2 and butadiene. The key for the selective valorization of 1 is the use of a catalytic system based on PdCl2, a chelating phosphine bearing electron-withdrawing groups and an acidic promoter. The unsaturated C10 methyl diester can be easily hydrogenated on Pd/C under mild conditions to afford its corresponding saturated diester. Subsequent hydrogenation using the homogeneous [Ru(acac)3]/Triphos catalysts gives 2-ethyloctane-1,8-diol in high yield. The overall procedure allows synthesizing new building blocks for the manufacturing of renewable polymers and polymer processing materials.

  • efficient palladium catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of bulk industrial olefins using ferrocenyl phosphine ligands
    Angewandte Chemie, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kaiwu Dong, Ralf Jackstell, Xianjie Fang, Rui Sang, Robert Franke, Anke Spannenberg, Helfried Neumann, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    The development of ligands plays a key role and provides important innovations in homogeneous catalysis. In this context, we report a novel class of ferrocenyl phosphines for the Alkoxycarbonylation of industrially important alkenes. A basic feature of our ligands is the combination of sterically hindered and amphoteric moieties on the P atoms, which leads to improved activity and productivity for Alkoxycarbonylation reactions compared to the current industrial state-of-the-art ligand 1,2-bis((di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl)benzene). Advantageously, palladium catalysts with these novel ligands also enable such transformations without additional acid under milder reaction conditions. The practicability of the optimized ligand was demonstrated by preparation on >10 g scale and its use in palladium-catalyzed carbonylations on kilogram scale.

  • highly active and efficient catalysts for Alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes
    Nature Communications, 2017
    Co-Authors: Kaiwu Dong, Ralf Jackstell, Xianjie Fang, Robert Franke, Anke Spannenberg, Helfried Neumann, Samet Gulak, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    Carbonylation reactions of alkenes constitute the most important industrial processes in homogeneous catalysis. Despite the tremendous progress in this transformation, the development of advanced catalyst systems to improve their activity and widen the range of feedstocks continues to be essential for new practical applications. Herein a palladium catalyst based on 1,2-bis((tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphanyl)methyl)benzene L3 (pytbpx) is rationally designed and synthesized. Application of this system allows a general Alkoxycarbonylation of sterically hindered and demanding olefins including all kinds of tetra-, tri- and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes as well as natural products and pharmaceuticals to the desired esters in excellent yield. Industrially relevant bulk ethylene is functionalized with high activity (TON: >1,425,000; TOF: 44,000 h-1 for initial 18 h) and selectivity (>99%). Given its generality and efficiency, we expect this catalytic system to immediately impact both the chemical industry and research laboratories by providing a practical synthetic tool for the transformation of nearly any alkene into a versatile ester product.

  • the scope and mechanism of palladium catalysed markovnikov Alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes
    Nature Chemistry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kaiwu Dong, Ralf Jackstell, Helfried Neumann, Haijun Jiao, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    The selective formation of Markovnikov products in carbonylation reactions is a challenging problem, especially from unactivated substrates. Now, a highly Markovnikov-selective Alkoxycarbonylation reaction is described using a catalyst system based on palladium and the cataCXium ligand POMeCy(Ph). The resulting branched carboxylates are important structural components in many flavour and fragrance products.

  • ligand controlled palladium catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of allenes regioselective synthesis of α β and β γ unsaturated esters
    ChemInform, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jie Liu, Robert Franke, Ralf Jackstell, Qiang Liu, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    The palladium-catalyzed regioselective Alkoxycarbonylation of allenes with aliphatic alcohols allows to produce synthetically useful α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated esters in good yields. Efficient selectivity control is achieved in the presence of appropriate ligands. Using Xantphos as the ligand, β,γ-unsaturated esters are produced selectively in good yields. In contrast, the corresponding α,β-unsaturated esters are obtained with high regioselectivity in the presence of PPh2Py as the ligand. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that these two catalytic processes proceed by different reaction pathways. In addition, this novel protocol was successfully applied to convert an industrially available bulk chemical, 1,2-butadiene, into dimethyl adipate, which is a valuable feedstock for polymer and plasticizer syntheses, with high yield and TON (turnover number).

  • a unique palladium catalyst for efficient and selective Alkoxycarbonylation of olefins with formates
    Chemsuschem, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ivana Fleischer, Ralf Jackstell, Robert Franke, Reiko Jennerjahn, Daniela Cozzula, Matthias Beller
    Abstract:

    Forget about CO! Carbonylations are among the most important homogeneously catalyzed reactions in the chemical industry, but typically require carbon monoxide. Instead, straightforward and efficient Alkoxycarbonylations of olefins can proceed with alkyl formates in the presence of a specific palladium catalyst. Aromatic, terminal aliphatic, and internal olefins are carbonylated to give industrially important linear esters at low catalyst loadings.
