Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic compound synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols with manganese carbonyl. Background Art
[0002] The oxidation of alcohols is one of the most fundamental and important reactions in organic chemistry and industrial catalysis. Through the continuous efforts of chemists, many oxidation methods for alcohols have been discovered and reported. Although there are many means, these traditional oxidation methods have certain problems, and it is imperative to develop a more economical and efficient catalytic oxidation method for alcohols.
[0003] The catalytic oxidation process of alcohols has been fully developed in the past few decades. Currently, the research mainly focuses on the dehydrogenation of alcohol compounds catalyzed by transition metals to prepare aldehyde and ketone compounds. For example, the Li Jun research group reported in 2016 that Pd0 was immobilized on surface-modified SBA-15 by in-situ H2 reduction to synthesize an efficient dehydrogenation catalyst. Under normal pressure of nitrogen and using water as a solvent, various aromatic alcohols such as vanillyl alcohol can achieve dehydrogenation oxidation in this system, as Figure 1 shown, but this synthesis method uses expensive metal palladium and reacts at reflux temperature, so it is not economical and has poor biocompatibility;
[0004] The Lee research group reported in 2017 that water-soluble Rh nanoparticles were synthesized in a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide / ionic liquid-micelle system. These nanoparticles and NaBH4 have high catalytic activity for the acceptorless dehydrogenation reaction of various primary and secondary aromatic alcohols in H2O, as Figure 2 shown, but this synthesis method uses expensive metal Rh and NaBH4, is not economical and the reaction conditions are relatively severe;
[0005] The Muthaiah research group reported a (PNP)Ru(II) complex in 2018. In the presence of KOBu t this complex showed good alcohol dehydrogenation activity in the medium, as Figure 3 shown in a. In this system, a series of primary and secondary aromatic alcohols can be converted into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good to moderate yields, while the conversion rate of fatty alcohols decreases slightly; in 2020, this research group further reported three in-situ catalytic systems formed by commercially available [Ru(benzene)Cl2]2, [Ru(COD)Cl2] n and [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 combined with hexamethylenetetramine, all of which achieved the oxidation of secondary alcohols with very high atom economy, as Figure 3 shown in b. However, the above two synthesis methods both use expensive metal Ru, and there are problems such as long reaction time, high reaction temperature, and the need for additives, and they are not green and environmentally friendly.
[0006] The Kimura research group reported a dehydrogenation strategy for primary alcohols catalyzed by the Pd / Xantphos catalytic system in 2019. As Figure 4 shown, for aromatic alcohols, the electronic properties and positions of substituents on the aromatic ring have a significant impact on the reaction efficiency; while the reaction efficiency of alkyl alcohols in this system is relatively low. However, this synthetic method also uses expensive palladium metal.
[0007] In summary, although the development of various transition metal catalytic systems has effectively promoted the development of alcohol dehydrogenation, many problems still remain. First of all, most catalytic systems rely on noble metal complexes, which pose great challenges in terms of economy and operability; secondly, since the dehydrogenation of alcohols is thermodynamically unfavorable, most reactions require harsh conditions. Finally, most of these catalytic systems can only achieve the oxidation of benzyl alcohol compounds, and most catalytic systems have poor dehydrogenation effects on alkyl alcohols. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a more general and inexpensive metal-catalyzed efficient dehydrogenation strategy for alcohol compounds.
[0008] Therefore, according to the related technologies described above, there is an urgent need to develop a method for the dehydrogenation of alcohols catalyzed by manganese carbonyl. Summary of the Invention
