摘要:
The invention relates to an enantiomerically enriched chiral compound comprising a transition metal M, which comprises four, five or six coordinating groups of which at least one pair is linked together to form a bidentate ligand, in which M is directly bound via one single σ-bond to a carbon atom of an optionally substituted and/or optionally fused (hetero)aromatic ring of said bidentate ligand and in which M is directly bound to a nitrogen atom of a primary or secondary amino group of said bidentate ligand, thereby forming a metallacycle between said bidentate ligand and the metal M, said metal M being selected from the metals of groups 8 and 9 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, in particular iron, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, or iridium. The chiral compound can be used as a catalyst, preferably in an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation process. The invention further relates to a process for an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a prochiral compound in the presence of a hydrogen donor and the chiral compound of the invention comprising a transition metal chosen from the metals of groups 8, 9 and 10 of the Periodic Table, in particular iron, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium or platinum as the catalyst.
摘要:
Process for regenerating a Pd catalyst after a homogeneously catalyzed C—C coupling reaction in which the Pd catalyst precipitates, is separated from the reaction mixture and subsequently treated with I2 or Br2. The Pd catalyst can then be used in a subsequent reaction run.Preferably between 1 and 3 mole equivalents of I2 or Br2, relative to the quantity of Pd catalyst is usedThe C—C coupling reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a support material.The C—C coupling reaction may be for example a Heck reaction, a Suzuki reaction or a cross-coupling reaction.
