Structure/activity relationships: pre-catalysts for alkene methoxycarbonylation

Polysulfones: catalysts for alkene isomerization.

Alkene Metalates as Hydrogenation Catalysts

First-row transition-metal complexes hold great potential as catalysts for hydrogenations and related reductive reactions. Homo- and heteroleptic arene/alkene metalates(1-) (M=Co, Fe) are a structurally distinct catalyst class with good activities in hydrogenations of alkenes and alkynes. The first syntheses of the heteroleptic cobaltates [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4 -cod)(η2 -styrene)2 ] (5) and [K(...

Heterogenization of Alkene Epoxidation Catalysts

Este trabalho descreve nosso esforço em heterogeneizar catalisadores para epoxidação. Tanto o molibdênio ancorado quanto o engaiolado pelo método de sol-gel mostraram grande seletividade, mas possuem suas atividades fortemente reduzidas. Por outro lado, silicatos de molibdênio foram muito ativos e estáveis até a formação de diols na mistura reacional. Catalisadores heterogeneizados de rênio for...

Alkene Hydrogenations by Soluble Iron Nanocluster Catalysts

The replacement of noble metal technologies and the realization of new reactivities with earth-abundant metals is at the heart of sustainable synthesis. Alkene hydrogenations have so far been most effectively performed by noble metal catalysts. This study reports an iron-catalyzed hydrogenation protocol for tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes of unprecedented activity and scope under mild condit...

Efficient soluble polymer-supported sharpless alkene epoxidation catalysts.

High chemical yields and good enantiomeric excesses are obtained by using soluble polymer-supported tartrate ester in the epoxidation of trans-hex-2-en-1-ol using Ti(OPri)4/tert-butyl hydroperoxide.
