COBALT CATALYZED HYDROFORMYLATION REACTION • A prototype homogeneous metal catalysis - precatalyst to an active complex - steps involving organometallic reactions - 16 e to 18 e transition steps - possible geometries of intermediates
STEP a • Formation of the catalytically active species (16 e) from HCo(CO)4 • HCo(CO)4 from Co2(CO)8 + synthesis gas (CO + H2) • Reaction conditions: • (200 – 300 bar, 120-170oC)
STEP a Preferred geometry of the intermediate: (based on calculations)
STEP b binding of the alkene to the active catalyst - forms 18 e complex
STEP b Theoritical calculations indicate a slightly stable 4 (less steric hindrance). Structure 5 has the requisite coplanar geometry for Co, H, and the double bond C atoms)
STEP c 1,2 alky insertion - reversible -elimination is highly possible but high CO partial pressure will stabilize the 18 e- complex
STEP c initial 16e complex 18 e complexes upon CO addition
Step d CO insertion (1,2 alkyl migration)
STEP d 18e 16e
STEPe oxidative addition (H2) – reductive elimination (product) sequence.
8. HydroformylationA comment about metal-ligand ratio Consider the following exercise. The catalytically active complex is involved in the following equilibrium: L + HM(CO) LHM(L) + CO The selective and fast catalyst species we want is HM(L) and we have determined that at a certain pressure we need a twenty-fold excess of L in order to have 95 % of M in the M(L) state. The concentration of M = 10-3 molar. Suppose we want to reduce the concentration of M to 10-5. What should we do with the concentration of L (at constant pressure of CO). What ratio L/M should one choose? What happens if the ratio is kept at 20? (calculate the equilibrium constant from the first example and then calculate the required concentration of L at M = 10-5 molar)
