1-Octene hydrogenation

The turnover frequency was found to be greatest for the two fluorous ligands and the control ligand with the trimethylsilyl function was found to be less effective than triphenylphosphine. These fluorous derivatives of Wilkinson s catalyst were used to hydrogenate 1-octene in perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PP2). The reaction was carried out a number of times in order to evaluate the efficiency of the system in terms of recycling and reuse [16], It was found that as the number... 

The iron-sulfur cluster (1), after treatment with phenyllithium in ether, was found to hydrogenate 1-octene and trans-2-, -3- and -4-octene with little or no apparent isomerization of the double bond.3 The selectivity was dependent on the amount of phenyllithium used and the solvent.

COT is prepared by the polymerization of ethyne at moderate temperature and pressure in the presence of nickel salts. The molecule is non-planar and behaves as a typical cyclic olefin, having no aromatic properties. It may be catalytically hydrogenated to cyclo-octene, but with Zn and dil. sulphuric acid gives 1,3,6-cyclooclairiene. It reacts with maleic anhydride to give an adduct, m.p. 166 C, derived from the isomeric structure bicyclo-4,2,0-octa-2,4,7-triene(I) ... 

In examination of various disubstituted cyclic olefins, the following decreasing isomerization order was adduced Pd Rh, Ru, Pi > Os > r 84). At 20% conversion of 1-octene to octane, the ratio of isomerization to hydrogenation in isopropanol for various unsupported metals was Pd (2.05), Rh (0.125), Ru (0.121. Pt (0.025), Ir (0.025), Os (0.009) 82). Palladium is used frequently when migration and isomerization are wanted platinum, when they are to be avoided (2J24). 

Despite the limited solubility of 1-octene in the ionic catalyst phase, a remarkable activity of the platinum catalyst was achieved [turnover frequency (TOP) = 126 h ]. However, the system has to be carefully optimized to avoid significant formation of hydrogenated by-product. Detailed studies to identify the best reaction conditions revealed that, in the chlorostannate ionic liquid [BMIM]Cl/SnCl2 [X(SnCl2) = 0.55],... 

Chitosan (Fig. 27) was deposited on sihca by precipitation. The palladium complex was shown to promote the enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones [80] with the results being highly dependent on the structure of the substrate. In the case of aromatic ketones, both yield and enantioselectiv-ity depend on the N/Pd molar ratio. Low palladium contents favored enan-tioselectivity but reduced the yield. Very high conversions were obtained with aliphatic ketones, although with modest enantioselectivities. More recently, the immobilized chitosan-Co complex was described as a catalyst for the enantioselective hydration of 1-octene [81]. Under optimal conditions, namely Co content 0.5 mmolg and 1-octene/Co molar ratio of 50, a 98% yield and 98% ee were obtained and the catalyst was reused five times without loss of activity or enantioselectivity. 

Olefins having a-methylenic hydrogens, e.g., octene-1, propylene, and isobutylene, polymerize with difficulty in the presence of free... 

The hydrogenation activity of the isolated hydrides 3 and 6 towards cyclooctene or 1-octene was much lower than the Wilkinson s complex, [RhCKPPhj) ], under the same conditions [2] furthermore, isomerisation of the terminal to internal alkenes competed with the hydrogenation reaction. The reduced activity may be related to the high stability of the Rh(III) hydrides, while displacement of a coordinated NHC by alkene may lead to decomposition and Rh metal formation. 

Among various methods to synthesize nanometer-sized particles [1-3], the liquid-phase reduction method as the novel synthesis method of metallic nanoparticles is one of the easiest procedures, since nanoparticles can be directly obtained from various precursor compounds soluble in a solvent [4], It has been reported that the synthesis of Ni nanoparticles with a diameter from 5 to lOnm and an amorphous-like structure by using this method and the promotion effect of Zn addition to Ni nanoparticles on the catalytic activity for 1-octene hydrogenation [4]. However, unsupported particles were found rather unstable because of its high surface activity to cause tremendous aggregation [5]. In order to solve this problem, their selective deposition onto support particles, such as metal oxides, has been investigated, and also their catalytic activities have been studied. 

The catalytic activities of Ni and Ni-Zn nanoclusters with and without Ti02 supports were evaluated through 1-octene hydrogenation. The GC analyses confirmed that... 

The product is 2,7-octadien-l-oI which can be dehydrogenated/hydrogenated internally to give 7-octenal, which can be hydroformylated to the dialdehyde, nonadialdehyde, and then hydrogenated to nonadiol. The initial product can be hydrogenated to 1-octanol the dialdehyde can be oxidized to the diacid. The catalyst used is Pd modified with the Li salt of monosulphonated triphenylphosphine. 

The hydrogenated dimer of 1-decene [1208] can be used instead of conventional organic-based fluids, as can n-l-octene [1105].

The existence of two different rhodium species co-existing on the silica support can be used as an advantage by controlling their relative amount. Under standard hydroformylation conditions, the cationic species and the neutral hydride complex are both present in significant amounts. Hence hydroformylation and hydrogenation will both proceed under a CO/H2 atmosphere. Indeed a clean one-pot reaction of 1-octene to 1-nonanol was performed, using the supported catalyst for a hydroformylation-hydrogenation cascade reaction. 98 % of the 1-octene was converted in the...
