Silver nanoparticles are generated from simple silver (I) salts and operate at 25 °C under 20 bar of hydrogen pressure. Various aliphatic and aromatic ketones, including natural products were reduced into the corresponding alcohols in high yields.

This goal was achieved by grafting a Grubbs II precatalyst on a zirconia membrane generating a tailor-made HoveydaeGrubbs precatalyst on the surface of an ultrafiltration inorganic membrane. The obtained membranes were characterized by different techniques evidencing the grafting. The catalytic activity was also evaluated in a model ring-closing metathesis reaction. According to our knowledge, this manuscript reports the first ever so sophisticated catalytic membrane based on an organometallic complex of ruthenium. The proof of concept was achieved, although the membrane grafting must be improved for better catalytic activity.

The chemoselective iridium catalyst displayed high efficiency for the synthesis of a variety of N-substituted 5-methyl-2pyrrolidones and N-arylisoindolinones. N-Substituted 5-methyl-2pyrrolidone was evaluated as a bio-sourced substitute solvent to NMP (N-Methyl-pyrrolidone) in the catalytic arylation of 2phenylpyridine.

Ruthenium catalyzed ethenolysis of renewable oleonitrile

The production of the short chain undecenitrile by ethenolysis (cross-metathesis with ethylene) of oleonitrile is reported. Optimization of the reaction conditions led to promising TONs of 1400 with high selectivity for the ethenolysis products. From a series of catalysts tested, the bulky and activated M71 SiPr catalyst enabled the best performances. The influence of feed purification method was investigated in details and it was found that thermal treatment of the feed was required to ensure the highest productivity.Practical applicationsThe selective ethenolysis of oleonitrile provides a direct access to bio-sourced 9-decenitrile and 1-decene. These two compounds of interest for the synthesis of polymers precursors have also some potential use as fuel additives.

Cross-metathesis of fatty acid methyl esters with acrolein: An entry to a variety of bifunctional compounds
European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, 2014

The bifunctional formyl-esters obtained are interesting compounds for further transformations into bifunctional polymer precursors. Several experimental parameters and ruthenium catalysts have been evaluated. Best results were obtained with thermally pre-treated fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The reactions performed with high efficiency with low catalyst loadings allowing TONs as high at 1000. An acetal protected acrolein was also used, enabling improvement of the reaction performances. A tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation reaction without isolation of the formyl intermediate delivered the expected alcohol ester in good yield.Practical applications: The cross-metathesis of FAMEs with acrolein provides access to a broad range of bifunctional compounds of interest for the manufacture of polymers, considering the multiple post-transformations of the formyl group availableThe ruthenium-catalyzed cross-metathesis of fatty acid methyl esters with acrolein is presented. The bifunctional formyl-esters are valuable precursors for subsequent transformations such as the tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation reaction delivering a hydroxyl-ester in one step.

Z selectivity: Recent advances in one of the current major challenges of olefin metathesis
ABSTRACT The stereoselective formation of carbon–carbon double bonds is a longstanding topic in o... more ABSTRACT The stereoselective formation of carbon–carbon double bonds is a longstanding topic in organic chemistry. Since the early 90s, catalytic olefin metathesis has emerged as a synthetic tool of choice for the creation of carbon–carbon double bonds, and its use is now widespread. However, except for the synthesis of small cycles, the reversible character of olefin metathesis usually results in the formation of the thermodynamic E product, and more generally in mixtures of E and Z products. This issue has been addressed in different ways; these are reviewed herein. Synthetic protocols, which aim at the selective synthesis of Z olefins, for example, sequential alkyne metathesis/cis-hydrogenation, and the use of removable silyl groups, are summarized. Tailor-made molybdenum, tungsten and ruthenium catalysts, which allow for very high stereoselectivity, are also reviewed. The advances achieved with these methods and catalysts are illustrated by the synthesis of various natural products or their precursors.

It is shown that in the presence of ruthenium catalysts, eugenol and its O-protected derivatives have a high tendency to undergo carbon-carbon double bond migration before and after metathesis leading to the formation of conjugated styrene derivatives. The addition of 1,4benzoquinone suppresses these isomerization reactions and provides an efficient access to new polyfunctional phenol derivatives upon cross-metathesis of the biosourced eugenol with acrylates, acrylonitrile and acrylamides.

However, for many industrial applications of homogeneously catalyzed reactions, an easy separation and recovery of the catalyst should be guaranteed. Temperature-dependent multicomponent solvent systems (TMS) have been evaluated in ruthenium catalyzed olefin metathesis transformations. Propylene carbonate was found a suitable solvent for the ruthenium catalyzed ring-closing and cross-metathesis transformations of a variety of substrates including renewable fatty esters. The potential of a TMS system consisting of propylene carbonate/ethyl acetate/cyclohexane was then evaluated in the cross-metathesis of the renewable methyl 10-undecenoate with methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile.

By application of alternating anodic and cathodic potential steps, positive and negative polarons were produced in the polymer. The annihilation reaction resulted in ECL transients. Model calculations were conducted for analyzing the electron and ion transport processes in the deposit as well as the kinetics of the annihilation reaction. Very good agreement with the experiments was found when the charging of the interfacial double layer was taken into account. The annihilation reaction was concluded to proceed under diffusion control. The emission spectrum was found to have its maximum at 480 nm. This is a shift by -10 nm with respect to the fluorescence spectrum of DB-PPV in chloroform, and by -40 nm with respect to the electroluminescence spectrum observed from the solid-state. The ECL emission spectrum did not depend on the sequence in which the positive and negative polarons were formed, in agreement with the expectation for an ECL mechanism.
