- ItemCrystal structure of diethyl (E)-2-[(benzofuran-2-yl)methylidene]succinate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Schirmer, Marie-Luis; Spannenberg, Anke; Werner, ThomasThe title compound, C17H18O5, was synthesized by a base-free catalytic Wittig reaction. The molÂecule consists of a diethyl itaconate unit, which is connected via the C=C double bond to a benzoÂfuran moiety. The benzoÂfuran ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Ã…) forms dihedral angles of 79.58 (4) and 12.12 (10)° with the mean planes through the cis and trans ethÂoxyÂcarbonyl groups, respectively. An intraÂmolecular C-H...O hydrogen bond involving the O atom of the benzoÂfuran moiety is observed. In the crystal, molÂecules are linked into ribbons running parallel to the b axis by C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
- ItemHydrolysis Stability of Bidentate Phosphites Utilized as Modifying Ligands in the Rh-Catalyzed n-Regioselective Hydroformylation of Olefins(Washington, DC : ACS, 2016) Zhang, Baoxin; Jiao, Haijun; Michalik, Dirk; Kloß, Svenja; Deter, Lisa Marie; Selent, Detlef; Spannenberg, Anke; Franke, Robert; Börner, ArminThe stability of ligands and catalysts is an almost neglected issue in homogeneous catalysis, but it is crucial for successful application of this methodology in technical scale. We have studied the effect of water on phosphites, which are the most applied cocatalysts in the n-regioselective homogeneous Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins. The stability of the bidentate nonsymmetrical diphosphite L1, as well as its two monophosphite constituents L2 and L3, toward hydrolysis was investigated by means of in situ NMR spectroscopy under similar conditions as applied in industry. Hydrolysis pathways, intermediates, and kinetics were clarified. DFT calculations were used to support the experimentally found data. The acylphosphite unit L2, which reacts with water in an unselective manner, was proven to be much less stable than the phenolphosphite L3. The stability of the bidentate ligand L1 can be therefore mainly attributed to its phenolphosphite moiety. With an excess of water, the hydrolysis of L1 and L2 as well as their Rh-complexes is first-order with respect to the phosphite. Surprisingly, coordination to Rh significantly stabilizes the monodentate ligand L2, while in strong contrast, the bidentate ligand L1 decomposes faster in the Rh complex. NMR spectroscopy provided evidence for the existence of species from decomposition of phosphites, which can likewise coordinate as ligands to the metal. Electron-withdrawing groups in the periphery of the acylphosphite moiety decrease the stability of L1, whereas 3,5-disubstituted salicylic acid derivatives with bulky groups showed superior stability. These modifications of L1 also give rise to different catalytic performances in the n-regioselective hydroformylation of n-octenes and 2-pentene, from which the 3,5-di-t-butyl-substituted ligand offered a higher n-regioselectivity accompanied by a lowering of the reaction rate in comparison to the parent ligand L1.
- ItemCrystal structure of bis{μ2-[(2-iminocyclopentylidene)methylidene]azanido-κ2 N:N'}bis[(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV)] hexane monosolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Becker, Lisanne; Spannenberg, Anke; Arndt, Perdita; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, [Zr2(C10H15)4(C6H6N2)2]·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of adipoÂnitrile with [Zr(C10H15)2([eta]2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)]. IntraÂmolecular nitrile-nitrile couplings and deprotonation of the substrate produced the (1-imino-2-enimino)ÂcycloÂpentane ligand, which functions as a five-membered bridge between the two metal atoms. The ZrIV atom exhibits a distorted tetraÂhedral coordination sphere defined by two pentaÂmethylÂcycloÂpentaÂdienyl ligands, by the imino unit of one (1-imino-2-enimino)ÂcycloÂpentane and by the enimino unit of the second (1-imino-2-enimino)ÂcycloÂpentane. The cycloÂpentane ring of the ligand shows an envelope conformation. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex and one half of the hexane solvent molÂecule, both being completed by the application of inversion symmetry. One of the pentaÂmethylÂcycloÂpentaÂdienyl ligands is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.8111 (3):0.189 (3). In the crystal, the complex molÂecules are packed into rods extending along [100], with the solvent molÂecules located in between. The rods are arranged in a distorted hexaÂgonal packing.
- ItemCrystal structure of (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Sonneck, Marcel; Peppel, Tim; Spannenberg, Anke; Wohlrab, SebastianThe crystal structure of (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid, C12H22O2, an [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carbÂoxyÂlic acid with a melting point (295 K) near room temperature, is characterized by carbÂoxyÂlic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The carbÂoxyÂlic acid group and the following three carbon atoms of the chain of the (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid molÂecule lie almost in one plane (r.m.s. deviation for the four C atoms and two O atoms = 0.012 Ã…), whereas the remaining carbon atoms of the hydroÂcarbon chain adopt a nearly fully staggered conformation [moduli of torsion angles vary from 174.01 (13) to 179.97 (13)°].
- ItemCrystal structure of (E)-undec-2-enoic acid(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Sonneck, Marcel; Peppel, Tim; Spannenberg, Anke; Wohlrab, SebastianIn the molÂecule of the title low-melting [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carbÂoxyÂlic acid, C11H20O2, the least-squares mean line through the octyl chain forms an angle of 60.10 (13)° with the normal to plane of the acrylic acid fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Ã…). In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related molÂecules are linked by pairs of O-H...O hydrogen bonds into dimers, forming layers parallel to the (041) plane.

Both complexes display a bent metallocene unit, the metal atom being coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, with the tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate anion acting as a bidentate or monodentate ligand in 1 and 2, respectively. In 1, weak π-π stacking inter-actions involving the toluene solvent mol-ecules [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.9491 (11) Å] are observed.
- ItemCrystal structure of di-n-butÂylÂbisÂ([eta]5-pentaÂmethylÂcycloÂpentaÂdienÂyl)hafnium(IV)(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Arndt, Perdita; Schubert,Kathleen; Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, UweThe crystal structure of the title compound, [Hf(C10H15)2(C4H9)2], reveals two independent molÂecules in the asymmetric unit. The diffraction experiment was performed with a racemically twinned crystal showing a 0.529 (5):0.471 (5) component ratio. Each HfIV atom is coordinated by two pentaÂmethylÂcycloÂpentaÂdienyl and two n-butyl ligands in a distorted tetraÂhedral geometry, with the cycloÂpentaÂdienyl rings inclined to one another by 45.11 (15) and 45.37 (16)°. In contrast to the isostructural di(n-butyl)bis([eta]5-pentaÂmethylÂcycloÂpentaÂdienÂyl)zirconium(IV) complex with a noticeable difference in the Zr-butyl bonding, the Hf-CbutÂyl bond lengths differ from each other by no more than 0.039 (3) Ã….
- 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.

- ItemLigand-Controlled Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of Alkynols : Highly Selective Synthesis of α-Methylene-β-Lactones(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Ge, Yao; Ye, Fei; Liu, Jiawang; Yang, Ji; Spannenberg, Anke; Jiao, Haijun; Jackstell, Ralf; Beller, MatthiasThe first general and regioselective Pd-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation to give α-methylene-β-lactones is reported. Key to the success for this process is the use of a specific sterically demanding phosphine ligand based on N-arylated imidazole (L11) in the presence of Pd(MeCN)2Cl2 as pre-catalyst. A variety of easily available alkynols provide under additive-free conditions the corresponding α-methylene-β-lactones in moderate to good yields with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. The applicability of this novel methodology is showcased by the direct carbonylation of biologically active molecules including natural products. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH
