Allyl chloride hydroformylation

Hydrosilylation of allyl chloride with HSiCl3 leads to Cl(CH2)3SiCl3 that can be used for many surface modifications after substitution of the chlorides by suitable functional groups [5], For instance it can be used to anchor soluble hydroformylation catalysts to a silica surface (Figure 18.3). Many examples have been reported and we present only one example of a selective Xantphos type ligand [6],... 

Platinum complexes, [PtCl2 (l ,l )-XantBino ] (2) and its S,S analogue, were treated with tin(II) chloride to form the pre-catalyst for chemo-, regio-, and enantio-selective hydroformylation of styrene, vinyl acetate and allyl acetate. Although the reaction showed good chemo- and regio-selectivities, only moderate ee was obtained.103... 

Cuprous chloride tends to form water-soluble complexes with lower olefins and acts as an IPTC catalyst, e.g., in the two-phase hydrolysis of alkyl chlorides to alcohols with sodium carboxylate solution [10,151] and in the Prins reactions between 1-alkenes and aqueous formaldehyde in the presence of HCl to form 1,3-glycols [10]. Similarly, water-soluble rhodium-based catalysts (4-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid and tri-Cs-io-alkylmethylam-monium chlorides) were used as IPTC catalysts for the hydroformylation of hexene, dodecene, and hexadecene to produce aldehydes for the fine chemicals market [152]. Palladium diphenyl(potassium sulfonatobenzyl)phosphine and its oxide complexes catalyzed the IPTC dehalogenation reactions of allyl and benzyl halides [153]. Allylic substrates such as cinnamyl ethyl carbonate and nucleophiles such as ethyl acetoactate and acetyl acetone catalyzed by a water-soluble bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium or palladium complex of sulfonated triphenylphosphine gave regio- and stereo-specific alkylation products in quantitative yields [154]. Ito et al. used a self-assembled nanocage as an IPTC catalyst for the Wacker oxidation of styrene catalyzed by (en)Pd(N03) [155]. 

The synthesis began with Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed oxymercuration [88] of ho-moallyUc alcohol 204 [89], prepared by asymmetric allylation with Brown s reagent, to generate organomercury chloride 205. Rh(I)-catalyzed formy-lation [90] of 205 in the presence of DABCO (0.5 equiv.) furnished aldehyde 206. Stereoselective crotylation of 206 via Brown s reagent, followed by regioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed hydroformylation provided lactol 203. Dia-... 

As mentioned in the chapter on the reaction mechanism, the anion, especially of Ni-salts, is important in affecting the reaction course. The catalytic efficiency of the nickel halides strongly increases in the series fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide [374—376]. The molar ratio of cobalt or nickel to iodine is also very important [414]. As in the hydroformylation reaction, metal carbonyls substituted by phosphine ligands are very reactive [377, 1009], and especially modified rhodium and palladium catalysts [1021, 1045] allow reactions under mild conditions. Thus, the nickel bromide triphenylphosphine allyl bromide complex shows an increased reactivity in the carbonylation of acetylenes. On the other hand, carbonyls substituted by phosphine ligands are also readily soluble in the reaction mixture [345, 377].
