- ItemA General Regioselective Synthesis of Alcohols by Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Epoxides(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Liu, Weiping; Leischner, Thomas; Li, Wu; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasA straightforward methodology for the synthesis of anti-Markovnikov-type alcohols is presented. By using a specific cobalt triphos complex in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as an additive, the hydrogenation of epoxides proceeds with high yields and selectivities. The described protocol shows a broad substrate scope, including multi-substituted internal and terminal epoxides, as well as a good functional-group tolerance. Various natural-product derivatives, including steroids, terpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids, gave access to the corresponding alcohols in moderate-to-excellent yields. © 2020 The Authors.

- ItemCascade Synthesis of Pyrroles from Nitroarenes with Benign Reductants Using a Heterogeneous Cobalt Catalyst(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Ryabchuk, Pavel; Leischner, Thomas; Kreyenschulte, Carsten; Spannenberg, Anke; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasA bifunctional 3d-metal catalyst for the cascade synthesis of diverse pyrroles from nitroarenes is presented. The optimal catalytic system Co/NGr-C@SiO2-L is obtained by pyrolysis of a cobalt-impregnated composite followed by subsequent selective leaching. In the presence of this material, (transfer) hydrogenation of easily available nitroarenes and subsequent Paal–Knorr/Clauson-Kass condensation provides >40 pyrroles in good to high yields using dihydrogen, formic acid, or a CO/H2O mixture (WGSR conditions) as reductant. In addition to the favorable step economy, this straightforward domino process does not require any solvents or external co-catalysts. The general synthetic utility of this methodology was demonstrated on a variety of functionalized substrates including the preparation of biologically active and pharmaceutically relevant compounds, for example, (+)-Isamoltane. © 2020 The Authors.

- ItemA Stable Manganese Pincer Catalyst for the Selective Dehydrogenation of Methanol(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2016-12-2) Andérez-Fernández, María; Vogt, Lydia K.; Fischer, Steffen; Zhou, Wei; Jiao, Haijun; Garbe, Marcel; Elangovan, Saravanakumar; Junge, Kathrin; Junge, Henrik; Ludwig, Ralf; Beller, MatthiasFor the first time, structurally defined manganese pincer complexes catalyze the dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which is a transformation of interest with regard to the implementation of a hydrogen and methanol economy. Excellent long-term stability was demonstrated for the Mn-PNPiPr catalyst, as a turnover of more than 20 000 was reached. In addition to methanol, other important hydrogen carriers were also successfully dehydrogenated.
- ItemSynthesis of Single Atom Based Heterogeneous Platinum Catalysts: High Selectivity and Activity for Hydrosilylation Reactions(Washington, DC : ACS Publ., 2017) Cui, Xinjiang; Junge, Kathrin; Dai, Xingchao; Kreyenschulte, Carsten; Pohl, Marga-Martina; Wohlrab, Sebastian; Shi, Feng; Brückner, Angelika; Beller, MatthiasCatalytic hydrosilylation represents a straightforward and atom-efficient methodology for the creation of C-Si bonds. In general, the application of homogeneous platinum complexes prevails in industry and academia. Herein, we describe the first heterogeneous single atom catalysts (SACs), which are conveniently prepared by decorating alumina nanorods with platinum atoms. The resulting stable material efficiently catalyzes hydrosilylation of industrially relevant olefins with high TON (≈105). A variety of substrates is selectively hydrosilylated including compounds with sensitive reducible and other functional groups (N, B, F, Cl). The single atom based catalyst shows significantly higher activity compared to related Pt nanoparticles.
- ItemRecent Advances in Catalytic Hydrosilylations: Developments beyond Traditional Platinum Catalysts(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2021) de Almeida, Leandro Duarte; Wang, Hongli; Junge, Kathrin; Cui, Xinjiang; Beller, MatthiasHydrosilylation reactions, which allow the addition of Si−H to C=C/C≡C bonds, are typically catalyzed by homogeneous noble metal catalysts (Pt, Rh, Ir, and Ru). Although excellent activity and selectivity can be obtained, the price, purification, and metal residues of these precious catalysts are problems in the silicone industry. Thus, a strong interest in more sustainable catalysts and for more economic processes exists. In this respect, recently disclosed hydrosilylations using catalysts based on earth-abundant transition metals, for example, Fe, Co, Ni, and Mn, and heterogeneous catalysts (supported nanoparticles and single-atom sites) are noteworthy. This minireview describes the recent advances in this field. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH
- ItemCobalt pincer complexes for catalytic reduction of nitriles to primary amines(London : RSC Publ., 2019) Schneekönig, Jacob; Tannert, Bianca; Hornke, Helen; Beller, Matthias; Junge, KathrinVarious cobalt pincer type complexes 1-6 were applied for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to amines. Among these, catalyst 4 is the most efficient, allowing the reduction of aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles in moderate to excellent yields. © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
- ItemAerobic iron-catalyzed site-selective C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond cleavage in N-heterocycles(Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Leonard, David K.; Li, Wu; Rockstroh, Nils; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasThe kinetic and thermodynamic stability of C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds makes the site-selective activation of these motifs a real synthetic challenge. In view of this, herein a site-selective method of C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond scission of amines, specifically morpholine and piperazine derivatives, using a cheap iron catalyst and air as a sustainable oxidant is reported. Furthermore, a statistical design of experiments (DoE) is used to evaluate multiple reaction parameters thereby allowing for the rapid development of a catalytic process. © 2021
- ItemCorrection: A robust iron catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of substituted (iso)quinolones(Cambridge : RSC, 2018) Sahoo, Basudev; Kreyenschulte, Carsten; Agostini, Giovanni; Lund, Henrik; Bachmann, Stephan; Scalone, Michelangelo; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasThe authors regret that the term “(iso)quinolones” was used throughout the article, including the title, when the correct term should be “(iso)quinolines”. The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
- ItemUnprecedented selective homogeneous cobalt-catalysed reductive alkoxylation of cyclic imides under mild conditions(Cambridge : RSC, 2017) Cabrero-Antonino, Jose R.; Adam, Rosa; Papa, Veronica; Holsten, Mattes; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasThe first general and efficient non-noble metal-catalysed reductive C2-alkoxylation of cyclic imides (phthalimides and succinimides) is presented. Crucial for the success is the use of [Co(BF4)2·6H2O/triphos (L1)] combination and no external additives are required. Using the optimal cobalt-system, the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring of the parent phthalimide is avoided and only one of the carbonyl groups is selectively functionalized. The resulting products, N- and aryl-ring substituted 3-alkoxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindolin-1-one and N-substituted 3-alkoxy-pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives, are prepared under mild conditions in good to excellent isolated yields. Intramolecular reductive couplings can also be performed affording tricyclic compounds in a one-step process. The present protocol opens the way to the development of new base-metal processes for the straightforward synthesis of functionalized N-heterocyclic compounds of pharmaceutical and biological interest.
- ItemEfficient and selective hydrogenation of amides to alcohols and amines using a well-defined manganese-PNN pincer complex(Cambridge : RSC, 2017) Papa, Veronica; Cabrero-Antonino, Jose R.; Alberico, Elisabetta; Spanneberg, Anke; Junge, Kathrin; Junge, Henrik; Beller, MatthiasNovel well-defined NNP and PNP manganese pincer complexes have been synthetized and fully characterized. The catalyst Mn-2 containing an imidazolyaminolphosphino ligand shows high activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of a wide range of secondary and tertiary amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines, under relatively mild conditions. For the first time, more challenging substrates like primary aromatic amides including an actual herbicide can also be hydrogenated using this earth-abundant metal-based pincer catalyst.
