-
Paragraph 0053-0054, (2014/06/24)
A method of making one or more 2,5-dimethylhexenes is described. The method includes reacting isobutene with isobutanol in the presence of a platinum group metal catalyst to form one or more 2,5-dimethylhexenes. A method of making p-xylene using one or mo

Alkenes and alcohols are among the most abundant and commonly used organic feedstock in industrial processes. We report a selective catalytic alkylation reaction of alkenes with alcohols that forms a carbon-carbon bond between vinyl carbon-hydrogen (C-H) and carbon-hydroxy centers with the concomitant loss of water. The cationic ruthenium complex [(C6H6)(PCy 3)(CO)RuH]+BF4- (Cy, cyclohexyl) catalyzes the alkylation in solution within 2 to 8 hours at temperatures ranging from 75° to 110°C and tolerates a broad range of substrate functionality, including amines and carbonyls. Preliminary mechanistic studies are inconsistent with Friedel-Crafts-type electrophilic activation of the alcohols, suggesting instead a vinyl C-H activation pathway with opposite electronic polarization.

A series of 1- and 2-substituted indenyl ligands were prepared and used in the synthesis of [1-R-Ind]2ZrCl2 [R = Me (2b), Et (4b), iPr (5b), tBu (6b), SiMe3 (8b), Ph (10b), Bz (12b), 1-Naph (14b)] and [2-R-Ind]2ZrCl2 [R = Me (1b), Et (3b), SiMe3 (7b), Ph (9b), Bz (11b), 1-Naph (13b)] metallocenes. An X-ray crystallographic study of 4b and 10b showed the complexes to be the racemic diastereomers (4b, both the R,R and S,S-enantiomers and 10b, the S,S-enantiomer). The X-ray data together with NMR spectral data revealed that the size of the substituent influenced the orientation the two indenyl ligands of the metallocenes. The 4b diastereomers are both found to crystallize with their ethyl groups syn (bis-central) with respect to each other whereas the larger phenyl groups in 10b results in an anti (bis-lateral) orientation of the indenyl ligands.
