  • mechanism of alkyne alkoxycarbonylation at a pd catalyst with p n hemilabile ligands a density functional study
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2014
    Co-Authors: Luke Crawford, David J Colehamilton, Eite Drent, Michael Buhl
    Abstract:

    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.

  • polymerisable di and triesters from tall oil fatty acids and related compounds
    Green Chemistry, 2013
    Co-Authors: Marc R L Furst, Thomas Seidensticker, David J Colehamilton
    Abstract:

    Tall Oil Fatty Acids, a low value side product from the paper industry containing mainly oleic and linoleic acids, are used for producing the polyester precursor, dimethyl 1,19-nonadecanedioate by Methoxycarbonylation in the presence of [Pd2(dba)3], 1,2-bis(ditertiarybutylphosphinomethyl)benzene and methanesulfonic acid in methanol. The Methoxycarbonylation of methyl linoleate has been used to identify other products formed and approaches to their minimisation have been developed. It has also been used for the production of trimethyl heptadecanetricarboxylates. Finally, conjugated unsaturated esters of different chain length (up to 16 C atoms), some of them available from plant oils, are subjected to Methoxycarbonylation to give α,ω-diesters.

  • polymer precursors from catalytic reactions of natural oils
    Green Chemistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Marc R L Furst, Ronan Le Goff, Dorothee Quinzler, Stefan Mecking, Catherine H Botting, David J Colehamilton
    Abstract:

    Dimethyl 1,19-nonadecanedioate is produced from the Methoxycarbonylation of commercial olive, rapeseed or sunflower oils in the presence of a catalyst derived from [Pd2(dba)3], bis(ditertiarybutylphosphinomethyl)benzene (BDTBPMB) and methanesulphonic acid (MSA). The diester is then hydrogenated to 1,19-nonadecanediol using Ru/1,1,1-tris-(diphenylphosphinemethyl)ethane (triphos). 1,19-Nonadecadienoic acid is hydrogenated to short chain oligoesters, which can themselves be hydrogenated to 1,19-nonadecanol by hydrogenation in the presence of water.

  • dicarboxylic acid esters from the carbonylation of unsaturated esters under mild conditions
    Inorganic Chemistry Communications, 2005
    Co-Authors: Cristina Jimenezrodriguez, Graham R Eastham, David J Colehamilton
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Methoxycarbonylation of unsaturated acids or esters catalysed by Pd complexes of bis(ditertiarybutyl-phosphinomethyl)benzene (DTBPMB) produces α,ω-diesters with selectivities >95%, even if the double bond is deep in the chain or conjugated to the carbonyl group; unsymmetrical esters can also be produced with high selectivity.

  • Methoxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate catalysed by palladium complexes of bis ditertiarybutylphosphinomethyl benzene and related ligands
    Chemical Communications, 2005
    Co-Authors: Adam J Rucklidge, George E Morris, David J Colehamilton
    Abstract:

    High selectivities to methyl acetoxypropanoate esters (b : l up to 3.6 : 1) are obtained from the Methoxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate catalysed by palladium complexes of bis(ditertiarybutylphosphinomethyl)benzene in the presence of acid, provided that the acid concentration does not exceed that of the free phosphine.

  • ch3coona as an effective catalyst for Methoxycarbonylation of 1 6 hexanediamine by dimethyl carbonate to dimethylhexane 1 6 dicarbamate
    ChemInform, 2010
    Co-Authors: Da-lei Sun, Jian-ru Deng, Shunji Xie, Caijuan Huang, Eli Ruckenstein, Zi-sheng Chao
    Abstract:

    Methoxycarbonylation of 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) by dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was carried out, using, for the first time, CH3COONa as catalyst. The effects of the solvent, reaction temperature, reaction time, and catalyst amount, were investigated. A yield as high as 99.0% of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate 2 has been obtained at a temperature of 348 K and a reaction time of 6 h. Mechanistic studies revealed that N-substituted acetamide, as the active intermediate product, and NaOH were first formed via the reaction between HDA and CH3COONa. A further reaction between the N-substituted acetamide and DMC generated carbamates and methyl acetate, via a hexatomic ring intermediate. The CH3COONa catalyst was finally recovered through the reaction between NaOH and methyl acetate, which thus completed the catalytic cycle.

  • catalysis over zinc incorporated berlinite znalpo4 of the Methoxycarbonylation of 1 6 hexanediamine with dimethyl carbonate to form dimethylhexane 1 6 dicarbamate
    Chemistry Central Journal, 2007
    Co-Authors: Da-lei Sun, Jian-ru Deng, Zi-sheng Chao
    Abstract:

    The alkoxycarbonylation of diamines with dialkyl carbonates presents promising route for the synthesis of dicarbamates, one that is potentially 'greener' owing to the lack of a reliance on phosgene. While a few homogeneous catalysts have been reported, no heterogeneous catalyst could be found in the literature for use in the synthesis of dicarbamates from diamines and dialkyl carbonates. Because heterogeneous catalysts are more manageable than homogeneous catalysts as regards separation and recycling, in our study, we hydrothermally synthesized and used pure berlinite (AlPO4) and zinc-incorporated berlinite (ZnAlPO4) as heterogeneous catalysts in the production of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate from 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR and XPS. Various influencing factors, such as the HDA/DMC molar ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, and ZnAlPO4/HDA ratio, were investigated systematically. The XRD characterization identified a berlinite structure associated with both the AlPO4 and ZnAlPO4 catalysts. The FT-IR result confirmed the incorporation of zinc into the berlinite framework for ZnAlPO4. The XPS measurement revealed that the zinc ions in the ZnAlPO4 structure possessed a higher binding energy than those in ZnO, and as a result, a greater electron-attracting ability. It was found that ZnAlPO4 catalyzed the formation of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate from the Methoxycarbonylation of HDA with DMC, while no activity was detected on using AlPO4. Under optimum reaction conditions (i.e. a DMC/HDA molar ratio of 8:1, reaction temperature of 349 K, reaction time of 8 h, and ZnAlPO4/HDA ratio of 5 (mg/mmol)), a yield of up to 92.5% of dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate (with almost 100% conversion of HDA) was obtained. Based on these results, a possible mechanism for the Methoxycarbonylation over ZnAlPO4 was also proposed. As a heterogeneous catalyst ZnAlPO4 berlinite is highly active and selective for the Methoxycarbonylation of HDA with DMC. We propose that dimethylhexane-1,6-dicarbamate is formed via a catalytic cycle, which involves activation of the DMC by a key active intermediate species, formed from the coordination of the carbonyl oxygen with Zn(II), as well as a reaction intermediate formed from the nucleophilic attack of the amino group on the carbonyl carbon.
