Molybdenum acetylacetonate complexes

Epoxides undergo deoxygenation upon treatment with vanadium or molybdenum acetylacetonate complexes, although their stereoselectivity is low. When the molybdenum(VI) oxo complex MoO(S2CNEt2)2 is employed, the deoxygenation proceeds with retention of configuration. For example, cw-2-butene oxide is converted to c -2-butene at 130 C in 83% yield. ...

This is by far the most stable and best-known oxidation state for chromium and is characterized by thousands of compounds, most of them prepared from aqueous solutions. By contrast, unless stabilized by M-M bonding, molybdenum(III) compounds are sparse and hardly any are known for tungsten(III). Thus Mo, but not W, has an aquo ion [Mo(H20)g] +, which gives rise to complexes [MoXg] " (X = F, Cl, Br, NCS). Direct action of acetylacetone on the hexachloromolybdate(III) ion produces the sublimable (Mo(acac)3] which, however, unlike its chromium analogue, is oxidized by air to Mo products. A black cyanide,... 

The chiral ligand (44) was prepared starting from the cyclic a-amino acid (S)-proline80). Recently, similar chiral catalysts and related molybdenum complexes involving optically active N-alkyl-P-aminoalcohols as stable chiral ligands and acetylacetone as a replaceable bidentate ligand, were designed for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols with alkyl hydroperoxides which could be catalyzed by such metal complexes 8,). 

We studied the oxidation of cyclohexene at 70°C in the presence of cyclopentadienylcarbonyl complexes of several transition metals. As with the acetylacetonates, the metal center was the determining factor in the product distribution. The decomposition of cyclohexenyl hydroperoxide by the metal complexes in cyclohexene gave insight into the nature of the reaction. With iron and molybdenum complexes the product profile from hydroperoxide decomposition paralleled that observed in olefin oxidation. When vanadium complexes were used, this was not the case. Variance in product distribution between the cyclopentadienylcarbonyl metal-promoted oxidations as a function of the metal center were more pronounced than with the acetylacetonates. Results are summarized in Table V. 

The first reaction (346) consists of hydroperoxide formation by a typical autoxidation process, and the second represents selective epoxidation by the hydroperoxide. In the absence of the autoxidation catalyst, no reaction is observed under these conditions due to efficient removal of chain-initiating hydroperoxide molecules by reaction (347). Optimum selectivities obtain when the autoxidation catalyst is of low activity, which implies a low total activity of the catalytic system. The molybdenum complexes related to Mo02(oxine)2 are among the most effective catalysts for epoxidation.496 Although the autoxidation catalysts were limited to two types (phosphine complexes of noble metals and transition metal acetylacetonates), there is no reason, a priori, why other complexes such as naphthenates should not produce similar results. 

Hexacarbonylmolybdenum and /3-diketones yield the molybdenum(III) chelate complexes as shown in equation (33) for acetylacetone. 

Among the most active transition metals are Mo and V, and both are effective in their highest oxidation state during reaction. Linden and Farona have foimd that Mo(V) is inactive for the epoxidation reaction and that V(IV) is converted to V (V) when contacted with a hydroperoxide [467]. The metals are added as compounds soluble in the reaction mixture, for example, Mo(CO)6, MoO2(acac), and VO(acac)2 (acac = monoanion of acetylacetone). Sheldon and Van Doom [266] have found that irrespective of the starting material, all molybdenum catalysts give rise to a common compound, a 1,2-diol complex (Fig. 1.11b). This is formed... 

The polyitnide bead bearing a triazole residue was used to immobilize a stable and active Mo(VI) epoxidation catalyst. The polyimide was refluxed with molybdenyl acetylacetonate in ethanol for 3days. Upon completion, a polyimide-Mo complex catalyst was filtered and extracted with ethanol in a Soxhiet apparatus for 3 days. The supported complex was dried thoroughly under vacuum. The molybdenum content was measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to be l.OSmmolg for PI-DAT.Mo and l. lOmmolg for CPI-DAT.Mo.

The decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide was also studied in the presence of molybdenum and chromium complexes [356]. The decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide in benzene catalyzed by [Mo02(acac)2], has many characteristics of the [VO(acac)2]-catalyzed reaction [355]. The ketone/alcohol ratio in the product was 1 and the kinetic pattern of reaction is similar. When chromium(III) acetylacetonate is used, however, there is a substantial difference. The chromium complex selectively converts cyclohexyl hydroperoxide to cyclohexanone. It is suggested that in this case the extent of release of free radicals to the solution is small [356]. The ketone/alcohol ratio in this case is " 13.7. The predominant formation of cyclohexanone on decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the presence of [Cr(acac)3] is no doubt related to the much higher yield of ketone obtained in cyclohexane oxidation in the presence of chromium complexes than observed when Mo or V compounds are used as catalysts [356]. 

Cis-molybdenum(VI) dioxide forms biscatecholate coordination compounds. The third position is already blocked by the two cis-oriented oxo ligands. The reaction of bis(acetylacetonate) cis-dioxomolybdenum with carbonyl-substituted catecholates in the presence of lithium carbonate results in the formation of bis catecholate cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes that are in equilibrium with their dimers.
