Catalytic hydrogenation of alkyl levulinates to γ-valerolactone is achieved under mild reaction conditions employing pincer PNP-M complexes. High efficacy is demonstrated with TON's exceeding 9000. Furthermore, the feasibility of recycling is shown.

Depending on the reaction conditions, N,N’,N’’-tris(benzylamino)guanidinium salts can react with carboxylic acid chlorides to form either symmetrical N,N’,N’’-tris(N-acyl-N-benzylamido)guanidines 6 or mesoionic 4-amino-1,2,4-triazolium-3-hydrazinides 7. The latter were converted into 1,2,4-triazolium salts by protonation or methylation at the hydrazinide nitrogen atom. Neutral 1,2,4-triazoles 10 were obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of an N-benzyl derivative. Crystal structure analyses of a 4-benzylamino-1,2,4-triazolium-3-hydrazinide and of two derived 1,2,4-triazolium salts are presented.

ABSTRACTSeveral metallic glasses in the form of ribbons were screened for activity as hydrogenation catalysts. Pd80Si20 and (Ni50Fe50)80B20 showed activity in reducing cyclohexene. Pd 80 Si20 was further examined for differences between the glassy and crystalline phases in the selectivity shown during hydrogenation reactions of n-hexenes, phenylethyne, α-pinene, and cyclododecene. No significant differences were found for catalytic selectivity in regard to cis-trans isomerization, double bond migration, and stereochemistry of addition under the reaction conditions used. Minor differences were observed in hydrogen-deuterium exchange.

1 Catalytic hydrogenation of 2-((1-benzyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)methylene)-5,6-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydroinden- 1-one hydrochloride () to 2-((1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)methyl)-5,6-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydroinden- 1-one hydrochloride (2) was investigated in the batch-slurry reactor. The 5% Pt/C catalyst was chosen to search the optimal reaction conditions because of its higher catalytic activity compared to other catalysts used in the work. To investigate the catalyst activity, selectivity and stability, the effect of agitation speed, catalyst loading, solvent, temperature, hydrogen pressure and catalyst reuse were studied. The initial rate of hydrogenation increases with the increase of catalyst loading, with the temperature and solvent polarity, if alcohols were used as solvents. The hydrogenation rate decreases with higher hydrogen pressure and that was explained by competitive adsorption of both reactants. The results also indicate that 5% Pt/C is a promising catalyst for 1 hydrogenation because at relatively mild reaction conditions selectivity towards main product was high (98%) and catalyst maintains its activity during successive runs.

Commercially available Purolite CT151 demonstrated to be an efficient acid catalyst for the synthesis of alkyl levulinates via alcoholysis of furfuryl alcohol (FA) at mild temperatures (80–120 °C) and short reaction time (5 h). Reaction conditions were first optimized for the synthesis of ethyl levulinate and then tested for the preparation of methyl-, propyl-, isopropyl-, butyl, sec-butyl- and allyl levulinate. Preliminary scale-up tests were carried out for most of the alkyl levulinates (starting from 5.0 g of FA) and the resulting products were isolated as pure by distillation in good yields (up to 63%). Furthermore, recycling experiments, conducted for the preparation of ethyl levulinate, showed that both the Purolite CT151 and the exceeding ethanol can be recovered and reused for four consecutive runs without any noticeable loss in the catalyst activity.

2,4.6-Trialkylpyrylium perchlorates afford in high yields by hydrogenation on palladium catalyst at room tem perature the corresponding all-dis-2,4.6-trialkyltetrahydropyrans, whereas other reaction conditions lead to mixtures of tetrahydropyrans and hydrogenolyzed products

Starting from 3-(benzyloxy)-16-(hydroxyimino)-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (1) several 17-methyl-16,17-secoestratriene derivatives were synthesized. In the first step of synthesis, hydroxyimino ketone 1 was transformed into 3-(benzyloxy)-16-(hydroxyimino)-17α-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-ol (2), the Beckmann fragmentation of which gave 3-(benzyloxy)-17-methyl-17-oxo-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (3a). Reduction of 3a with sodium borohydride yielded (17S)-3-(benzyloxy)-17-hydroxy-17-methyl-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (4a), whose configuration at the newly formed chiral center was established by X-ray structural analysis. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound 3a under different reaction conditions yielded 3-hydroxy-17-methyl-17-oxo-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (3b) and 16-amino-17-methyl-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-diol (6b). Biological tests in vivo of compounds 3b and 6b showed their moderate antiestrogenic activity.
