Chromium-catalyzed stereodivergent E- and Z-selective alkyne hydrogenation controlled by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene ligands. Nat Commun 2023; 14:990.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of alkynes allows the synthesis of olefins, which are important feedstock for the materials, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industry. Thus, methods that enable this transformation via low-cost metal catalysis are desirable. However, achieving stereochemical control in this reaction is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report on the chromium-catalyzed E- and Z-selective olefin synthesis via hydrogenation of alkynes, controlled by two carbene ligands. A cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene ligand that contains a phosphino anchor enables the hydrogenation of alkynes in a trans-addition manner, selectively forming E-olefins. With an imino anchor-incorporated carbene ligand, the stereoselectivity can be switched, giving mainly Z-isomers. This ligand-enabled geometrical stereoinversion strategy by one metal catalysis overrides common methods in control of the E- and Z-selectivity with two different metal catalysis, allowing for highly efficient and on-demand access to both E- and Z-olefins in a stereo-complementary fashion. Mechanistic studies indicate that the different steric effect between these two carbene ligands may mainly dominate the selective forming E- or Z-olefins in control of the stereochemistry.

Abstract
Catalytic semihydrogenation of internal alkynes using H2 is an attractive atom-economical route to various alkenes, and its stereocontrol has received widespread attention, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses. Herein, a novel strategy is introduced, whereby a poisoning catalytic thiol is employed as a reversible inhibitor of a ruthenium catalyst, resulting in a controllable H2-based semihydrogenation of internal alkynes. Both (E)- and (Z)-alkenes were obtained efficiently and highly selectively, under very mild conditions, using a single homogeneous acridine-based ruthenium pincer catalyst. Mechanistic studies indicate that the (Z)-alkene is the reaction intermediate leading to the (E)-alkene and that the addition of a catalytic amount of bidentate thiol impedes the Z/E isomerization step by forming stable ruthenium thiol(ate) complexes, while still allowing the main hydrogenation reaction to proceed. Thus, the absence or presence of catalytic thiol controls the stereoselectivity of this alkyne semihydrogenation, affording either the (E)-isomer as the final product or halting the reaction at the (Z)-intermediate. The developed system, which is also applied to the controllable isomerization of a terminal alkene, demonstrates how metal catalysis with switchable selectivity can be achieved by reversible inhibition of the catalyst with a simple auxiliary additive.

Effect of Iodide on the pH-Controlled Hydrogenations of Diphenylacetylene and Cinnamaldehyde Catalyzed by Ru(II)-Sulfonated Triphenylphosphine Complexes in Aqueous–Organic Biphasic Systems.

Abstract
The effect of NaI on hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene catalyzed by the water-soluble [{RuCl(mtppms-Na)2}2(µ-Cl)2] (1) (mtppms-Na = meta-monosulfonated triphenylphosphine sodium salt) is reported. Hydrogenations were performed under mild conditions (P(H2) = 1 bar, T = 50–80 ℃) in aqueous–organic biphasic reaction mixtures wherein the catalyst was dissolved in aqueous phase of various pHs. In acidic solutions, addition of NaI to 1 + mtppms-Na increased the selective conversion of diphenylacetylene to stilbenes from 10% to 90% but did not effect the high Z-selectivity (up to 98%). In contrast, in basic solutions the major product was diphenylethane (up to 70%), and the yield of E-stilbene exceeded that of the Z-isomer. 1H and 31P NMR measurements revealed that depending on the absence or presence of NaI, the catalytically active Ru(II)-hydride species in acidic solutions was [RuHCl(mtppms-Na)3], 2, or [RuHI(mtppms-Na)3], 5, respectively, while in basic solutions, both 2 and 5 were hydrogenated further to yield the same hydride species, cis,fac-[RuH2(H2O)(mtppms-Na)3]. [RuHI(mtppms-Na)3] proved superior to [RuHCl(mtppms-Na)3] as a catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to dihydrocinamaldehyde. This finding was explained by a facile formation of a (putative) dihydrogen complex [Ru(H2)I2(H2O)(mtppms-Na)2] intermediate, resulting in fast heterolytic activation of H2.

Abstract
Selective semihydrogenation of alkynes with the Mn(I) alkyl catalyst fac-[Mn(dippe)(CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)] (dippe = 1,2-bis(di-iso-propylphosphino)ethane) as a precatalyst is described. The required hydrogen gas is either directly employed or in situ-generated upon alcoholysis of KBH4 with methanol. A series of aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl, alkyl-alkyl, and terminal alkynes was readily hydrogenated to yield E-alkenes in good to excellent isolated yields. The reaction proceeds at 60 °C for directly employed hydrogen or at 60-90 °C with in situ-generated hydrogen and catalyst loadings of 0.5-2 mol %. The implemented protocol tolerates a variety of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing functional groups, including halides, phenols, nitriles, unprotected amines, and heterocycles. The reaction can be upscaled to the gram scale. Mechanistic investigations, including deuterium-labeling studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, were undertaken to provide a reasonable reaction mechanism, showing that initially formed Z-isomer undergoes fast isomerization to afford the thermodynamically more stable E-isomer.

Abstract
This report demonstrates the successful application of electrostatic surface potential distribution analysis for evaluating the relative catalytic activity of a series of azolium-based halogen bond donors. A strong correlation (R2 > 0.97) was observed between the positive electrostatic potential of the σ-hole on the halogen atom and the Gibbs free energy of activation of the model reactions (i.e., halogen abstraction and carbonyl activation). The predictive ability of the applied approach was confirmed experimentally. It was also determined that the catalytic activity of azolium-based halogen bond donors was generally governed by the structure of the azolium cycle, whereas the substituents on the heterocycle had a limited impact on the activity. Ultimately, this study highlighted four of the most promising azolium halogen bond donors, which are expected to exhibit high catalytic activity.
