Selective hydrogenation synthesis

A wide range and a number of purification steps are required to make available hydrogen/synthesis gas having the desired purity that depends on use. Technology is available in many forms and combinations for specific hydrogen purification requirements. Methods include physical and chemical treatments (solvent scmbbing) low temperature (cryogenic) systems adsorption on soHds, such as active carbon, metal oxides, and molecular sieves, and various membrane systems. Composition of the raw gas and the amount of impurities that can be tolerated in the product determine the selection of the most suitable process. 

Cocoa butter substitutes and equivalents differ greatly with respect to their method of manufacture, source of fats, and functionaHty they are produced by several physical and chemical processes (17,18). Cocoa butter substitutes are produced from lauric acid fats such as coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils by fractionation and hydrogenation from domestic fats such as soy, com, and cotton seed oils by selective hydrogenation or from palm kernel stearines by fractionation. Cocoa butter equivalents can be produced from palm kernel oil and other specialty fats such as shea and ilHpe by fractional crystallization from glycerol and selected fatty acids by direct chemical synthesis or from edible beef tallow by acetone crystallization. 

A synthesis of CAMP depends on the selective hydrogenation of the least substituted of two aromatic rings in PAMPO (5J). 

The synthesis of an epothilone model system via an alternative C9-C10 disconnection was first examined by Danishefsky in 1997. However, extension of this C9-C10 strategy to a fully functionalized epothilone intermediate was not successful, demonstrating the limitations of RCM with the early catalysts A and B [116]. In 2002, Sinha and Sun disclosed the stereoselective total syntheses of epoA (238a) and epoB (238b) by the RCM of epoxy compounds 242 in the presence of catalyst C (Scheme 50) [117]. The reaction furnished an inconsequential mixture of isomers 243 (E/Z 1 1) in high yield. Subsequent selective hydrogenation of the newly formed double bond followed by deprotection led to epothilones A and B. 

This method ensures the deposition of very reactive metal nanoparticles that require no activation steps before use. We shall review here the following examples of catalytic reactions that are of interest in line chemical synthesis (a) the hydrogenation of substituted arenes, (b) the selective hydrogenation of a, 3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, (c) the arylation of alkenes with aryl halides (Heck reaction). The efficiency and selectivity of commercial catalysts and of differently prepared nanosized metal systems will be compared.

Use of molten salts as solvent allows easy separation of organic products by distillation (376), and in this way PtCl2 with tetraalkylammonium salts of SnCl3 and GeCl3 has been used to selectively hydrogenate 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene to cyclododecene the salts in this case act as both solvent and ligand (377). A molten salt medium has been used in a homogeneously catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (see Section VI,B). 

Various metallic nanoparticles have been prepared in the case of PS-P2(4) VP reverse micelles, as illustrated by the works of Moller et al. [ 109-111 ] and Antonietti and coworkers [112]. Very recently, Bronstein et al. reported on the synthesis of bimetallic colloids formed in PS-P4VP micelles and their catalytic behavior for the selective hydrogenation of dehydrolinalool [113].

Various catalytic reactions are known to be structure sensitive as proposed by Boudart and studied by many authors. Examples are the selective hydrogenation of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, hydrogenolysis of paraffins, and ammonia or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Controlled surface reactions such as oxidation-reduction reactions ° or surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) " are two suitable methods for the synthesis of mono- or bimetallic particles. However, for these techniques.

A related IMDA key step, however with exo geometry, was apphed in Mulzer s synthesis of ehsabethin A (22) [32]. According to the retrosynthetic plan (Scheme 14) the elisabethane carbon skeleton would be assembled via an IMDA cychzation of quinone 86 which would be generated by oxidation of the corresponding hydroquinoid precursor.

In addition, stereoselective synthesis of solenopsin A has been reported by four research groups. An approach utilizing the stereoselective reductive de-cyanation (596) starts with aminonitrile 229, prepared from 2-picoline. It was selectively hydrogenated in the presence of Pd-C, followed by alkylation with undecyl bromide, affording 231. Reductive decyanation of 231 with NaBH4 in MeOH led to predominant (8 2) formation of the trans isomer (232) which was then debenzylated to ( )-solenopsin A (Id). The cis product (Ic) was in turn prepared by treatment of 231 with sodium in liquid ammonia followed by de-benzylation (Scheme 10).
