Rhodium/Phosphine catalysed selective hydroformylation of biorenewable olefins

This work reports rhodium catalyzed selective hydroformylation of natural olefins like eugenol, estragole, anethole, prenol and isoprenol using biphenyl based Buchwald phosphine ligands (S-Phos (L1), t-Bu XPhos (L2), Ru-Phos (L3), Johnphos (L4) and DavePhos (L5). Ru-Phos (L3) ligand exhibited high impact on the hydroformylation of eugenol providing high selectivity (90%) of linear aldehyde as major product. In addition, internal natural olefins like anethole and prenol provided moderate to high selectivity (65% and 85% respectively) of branched aldehydes as a major products. The various reaction parameters such as influence of ligands, P/Rh ratio, syngas pressure, temperature, time and solvents have been studied. A high activity and selectivity gained on the way to the linear aldehydes it may be due to the bulky, steric cyclohexyl and isopropoxy groups present in L3 phosphine ligand. Moreover, this catalytic system was smoothly converting natural olefins into corresponding linear and branched aldehydes with higher selectivity under the mild reaction conditions.

An efficient TiCl4-catalysed method for the synthesis of para-substituted aromatic aldehydes

An efficient and highly selective synthesis of para-substituted aromatic aldehydes has been achieved by TiCl4-catalysed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of monosubstituted benzenes with methacrolein diacetyl acetal.

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of allylic alcohols with aryl iodides in water

Palladium-catalyzed arylation of allylic alcohols with aryl iodides are shown to occur in the presence of sodium bicarbonate and tetra-n-butylammonium chloride in pure water using palladium acetate as catalyst. β-aromatic carbonyl compounds are obtained in good yields.
