Herein we report the discovery of a superior dimethylamine-borane dehydrogenation catalyst, more active than the prior best heterogeneous catalyst (Jaska, C. A.; Manners, I. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 9776) reported to date for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane. The new catalyst system consists of rhodium(0) nanoclusters stabilized by C5H11COO- anions and Me2H2N+ cations and can reproducibly be formed from the reduction of rhodium(II) hexanoate during dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane at room temperature. Rhodium(0) nanoclusters in an average particle size of 1.9 +/- 0.6 nm Rh(0)(similar to 190) nanoclusters) provide 1040 turnovers over 26 h with a record initial turnover frequency (TOF) of 60 h(-1) (the average TOF value is 40 h-1) in the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane, yielding 100% of the cyclic product (Me2NBH2)2 at room temperature. The work reported here also includes the full experimental details of the following major components: (i) Characterization of dimethylammonium hexanoate stabilized rhodium(0) nanoclusters by using TEM, STEM, EDX, XRD, UV-vis, XPS, FTIR, H-1, C-13, and B-11 NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. (ii) Collection of a wealth of previously unavailable kinetic data to determine the rate law and activation parameters for catalytic dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane. (iii) Monitoring of the formation kinetics of the rhodium(0) nanoclusters by a fast dimethylamine-borane dehydrogenation catalytic reporter reaction (Watzky, M. A.; Finke, R. G. J Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 10382) at various [Me2NH center dot BH3]/[Rh] ratios and temperatures. Significantly, sigmoidal kinetics of catalyst formation was found to be well fit to the two-step, slow nucleation and then autocatalytic surface growth mechanism, A -> B (rate constant k(1)) and A + B -> 2B (rate constant k(2)), in which A is [Rh(C5H11CO2)(2)](2) and B is the growing, catalytically active rhodium(0) nanoclusters. (iv) Mercury(0) and CS2 poisoning and nanofiltration experiments to determine whether the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane catalyzed by the dimethylammonium hexanoate stabilized rhodium(0) nanoclusters is homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis.

Benzaldehyde lyase-catalyzed enantioselective carboligation of aromatic aldehydes with mono- and dimethoxy acetaldehyde Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Sesenoglu, O; Dunkelmann, P; Muller, M (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2003-06-12) Benzaldehyde lyase from the Pseudomonas fluorescens catalyzes the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with methoxy and dimethoxy acetaldehyde and furnishes (R)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one and (R)-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethoxy-1-arylpropan-1-one in high yields and enantiomeric excess via acyloin linkage. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine-carbanion-like intermediates prior to carboligation.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of alpha(1)- and alpha-acetoxylated cyclic ketones Tanyeli, Cihangir; Akhmedov, M (Elsevier BV, 2004-06-07) alpha,beta-Unsaturated and saturated cyclic ketones were selectively oxidized at the alpha'- and alpha-positions using Mn(OAc)(3) and Pb(OAc)(4), respectively, resulting in high chemical yields. The resultant racemic alpha'- and alpha-acetoxylated substrates were resolved into corresponding enantiomerically enriched alpha'- and alpha-hydroxylated and acetoxylated compounds with 96-98% ee via PLE hydrolysis. The absolute configurations of alpha'-acetoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclic ketones were determined b...
Pentacarbonyl(eta(2)-vinylferrocene)metal(0) complexes of Group 6 elements: synthesis and characterization Özkar, Saim; Demir, N (Elsevier BV, 2003-12-15) Photolysis of hexacarbonylmetal(0) complexes of the Group 6 elements in the presence of vinylferrocene in an n-hexane solution at -15 degreesC yields pentacarbonyl (eta(2)-vinylferrocene)metal(0) complexes as the sole photo-substitution product, different from the general reaction pattern observed for the same Group 6 metal carbonyls with other olefins. M(CO)(5)(eta(2)-vinylferrocene) complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) could be isolated from the solution and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques. The compl...
Aminophosphine-palladium(II) complexes: Synthsesis, structure and applications in Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions AYDEMİR, MURAT; BAYSAL, AKIN; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Gumgum, Bahattin; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-30) Reaction of furfurylamine with 1 or 2 equivalents of PPh2Cl in the presence of Et3N, proceeds under anaerobic conditions in thf to give furfuryl-2-(N-diphenylphosphino)amine, Ph2PNHCH2-C4H3O, 1 and furfuryl-2-(N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)amine), (Ph2P)(2)NCH2-C4H3O, 2, respectively. The reactions of 1 and 2 with MCl2(cod) (M = Pd, Pt; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) or Pt(CH3)(2)(cod) yield complexes [M(Ph2PNHCH2-C4H3O)(2)Cl-2] (M= Pd 1a, Pt 1b), [Pt(Ph2PNHCH2-C4H3O)(2)(CH3)(2)] (1c), and [M((Ph2P)(2) NCH2-C4H3O)Cl...
Photocatalytic hydrosilylation of conjugated dienes with triethylsilane in the presence of Cr(CO)(5)L(L=CO, P(CH3)(3), P(OCH3)(3)) Özkar, Saim; Kayran, C (Elsevier BV, 1997-04-15) The effect of donor ligands on the chromium carbonyl photocatalysed hydrosilylation of 1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, trans-1,3-pentadiene with triethylsilane was studied. Photocatalytic hydrosilylation of dienes conducted in the presence of Cr(CO)(5)L (L = P(CH3)(3) or P(OCH3)(3)) yields the cis-1,4-adducts, 1-triethylsilyl-2-butene derivatives, as the main products; these have been isolated by distillation or preparative GC and fully characterised by NMR spectroscopy.
