    Selective hydrogenation of fluorinated arenes using rhodium nanoparticles on molecularly modified silica
    (London : RSC Publ., 2020) Kacem, Souha; Emondts, Meike; Bordet, Alexis; Leitner, Walter
    The production of fluorinated cyclohexane derivatives is accomplished through the selective hydrogenation of readily available fluorinated arenes using Rh nanoparticles on molecularly modified silica supports (Rh@Si-R) as highly effective and recyclable catalysts. The catalyst preparation comprises grafting non-polar molecular entities on the SiO2 surface generating a hydrophobic environment for controlled deposition of well-defined rhodium particles from a simple organometallic precursor. A broad range of fluorinated cyclohexane derivatives was shown to be accessible with excellent efficacy (0.05-0.5 mol% Rh, 10-55 bar H2, 80-100 °C, 1-2 h), including industrially relevant building blocks. Addition of CaO as scavenger for trace amounts of HF greatly improves the recyclability of the catalytic system and prevents the risks associated to the presence of HF, without compromising the activity and selectivity of the reaction. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    Selective Hydrogenation and Hydrodeoxygenation of Aromatic Ketones to Cyclohexane Derivatives Using a Rh@SILP Catalyst
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Moos, Gilles; Emondts, Meike; Bordet, Alexis; Leitner, Walter
    Rhodium nanoparticles immobilized on an acid-free triphenylphosphonium-based supported ionic liquid phase (Rh@SILP(Ph3-P-NTf2)) enabled the selective hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation of aromatic ketones. The flexible molecular approach used to assemble the individual catalyst components (SiO2, ionic liquid, nanoparticles) led to outstanding catalytic properties. In particular, intimate contact between the nanoparticles and the phosphonium ionic liquid is required for the deoxygenation reactivity. The Rh@SILP(Ph3-P-NTf2) catalyst was active for the hydrodeoxygenation of benzylic ketones under mild conditions, and the product distribution for non-benzylic ketones was controlled with high selectivity between the hydrogenated (alcohol) and hydrodeoxygenated (alkane) products by adjusting the reaction temperature. The versatile Rh@SILP(Ph3-P-NTf2) catalyst opens the way to the production of a wide range of high-value cyclohexane derivatives by the hydrogenation and/or hydrodeoxygenation of Friedel–Crafts acylation products and lignin-derived aromatic ketones. © 2020 The Authors.
