AI Article Synopsis

  • Shvo's catalyst has been used widely in chemical reactions but lacked modifications for solubility in polar solvents until recently.
  • This study presents the simple synthesis of a disulfonate version of Shvo's catalyst, enabling the (de-)hydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones in water.
  • The research also demonstrates a method for recycling the catalyst effectively.

Article Abstract

Although commonly applied in various reactions, Shvo's catalyst has not been modified towards solubility in highly polar solvents until now. Here, we report the straightforward synthesis of a disulfonate derivative of the complex, which allows to (transfer) (de-)hydrogenate aldehydes and ketones in aqueous solutions. A proof of principle for the recycling of the catalyst is also provided.

Molecular Ruthenium Cyclopentadienone Bifunctional Catalysts for the Conversion of Sugar Platforms to Hydrogen.

Chempluschem

September 2023

Department of Industrial Chemistry "Toso Montanari" viale, Risorgimento 4, 40136, Bologna, Italy.

Molecular ruthenium cyclopentadienone complexes were employed for the first time as pre-catalysts in the homogeneously catalysed Aqueous Phase Reforming (APR) of glucose. Shvo's complex resulted the best pre-catalyst (loading 2 mol %) with H yields up to 28.9 % at 150 °C.

Shvo-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of CO in the Presence or Absence of Ionic Liquids for Tandem Reactions.

J Org Chem

April 2023

State Key Laboratory for Oxo Synthesis and Selective Oxidation (OSSO), Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics (LICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Lanzhou 730000, China.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely used in transition metal-catalyzed processes, but the precise behavior of ILs and catalysts in these reactions is unknown. Herein, the role of ILs and the interaction pattern between Shvo's catalyst and ILs have been revealed with characterization by H NMR and crystallography based on the catalytic hydrogenation of CO. ILs promote the dissociation of Shvo's catalyst and enhance the rate of production of CO.

Ru-Bis(pyridyl)borate complex (CAT) is an efficient catalyst for ammonia borane (AB) dehydrogenation. Although the mechanistic pathway of this catalyst has been theoretically investigated previously, the gap between the experimental findings and the computational results could not be bridged thus far. In our study, using density functional theory calculations, we elucidate the mechanism of AB dehydrogenation of CAT at a variable degree of ligand hydrogenation.

Dual Rh-Ru Catalysts for Reductive Hydroformylation of Olefins to Alcohols.

ChemSusChem

July 2018

Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e.V. an der, Universität Rostock, Albert-Einstein-Str. 29a, 18059, Rostock, Germany.

An active and selective dual catalytic system to promote domino hydroformylation-reduction reactions is described. Apart from terminal, di- and trisubstituted olefins, for the first time the less active internal C-C double bond of tetrasubstituted alkenes can also be utilized. As an example, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene is converted into the corresponding n-alcohol with high yield (90 %) as well as regio- and chemoselectivity (>97 %).
