HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS HYDROGENATION
REVIEW OF HYDROGENATION CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION IS COVERED IN SEVERAL PLACES IN THE TEXT, PRINCIPALLY: Ch3 Section 3.18 Hydrogenation of Alkenes Ch4 Section 4.13 Relative Stabilities of Alkenes Ch6 Section 6.12 Heat of Hydrogenation Section 6.13 Resonance Energy of Benzene Ch8 Section 8.11 Hydrogenation of the Double Bond Pages 723-725 (Addition to Triple Bonds) Ch 14 Section 14.4 Hydrogenation of Alkynes
HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSTS Do not dissolve in the solvent. Traditional type The catalyst is suspended by con- stantly stirring the solution (this is a two phase, or heterogenous, system). Hydrogen is bubbled through the solution H2 These catalysts are usually powder- ed metals or metal oxides. Pd, Pt, PtO2, Ni . . . . . They adsorb hydrogen on the surface. H H H H H H H
Hydrogenation of Alkenes ( Sections 3.18, 4.13, 6.12, 6.13, 8.11 ) catalyst + C C H H C C H H fine powder, very porous, suspended in solution a syn addition reaction The catalyst is Pt, PtO2, Pd, or Ni (in special cases Ru, Rh, Re)
Hydrogenation of Alkynes Alkynes react twice (two double bonds) Alkenes are more reactive than the starting alkyne, and the second addition proceeds at a faster rate than the first. With normal catalysts it is not possible to stop at the alkene by the addition of one mole of H2 .
Lindlar Catalyst syn addition Lindlar is a special catalyst that allows the hydrogenation of an alkyne to stop after one mole of hydrogen is added. Most amines, and compounds containing sulfur, reduce the activity of catalysts or “poison” them. quinoline
DESIGNER CATALYSTS It is not uncommon that either specific or specially designed catalysts are used to control the results in hydrogenation reactions. For this reason a very large variety of catalysts are available to the organic chemist. Pd Pd on Carbon Pt PtO2 (Adam’s Catalyst) Ni (Raney Nickel) Pd on BaSO4 with quinoline (Lindlar Catalyst) Rh Ru etc., etc., etc. ….
HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS HYDROGENATION
HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSTS Dissolve in the solvent to make a homogeneous (one phase) solution. These catalysts are usually a transition metal complex that can bind both hydrogen and the alkene reactant as ligands (many are based on Rh or Ru complexes). Hydrogen is transferred internally to the alkene by a rearrangement (insertion). Fairly Modern

Dissolving Metal Reduction anti This reaction proceeds with anti addition (trans compound). Catalytic reduction proceeds with syn addition, hence we have a choice of methods.

A PICTURE OF BORON ( a “schizophrenic” element ) Incomplete octet; it is an electrophile (wants electrons); nucleophiles will add; often stabilizes by dimerization or solvation by an unreactive electron-donor solvent (ethers). trivalent reactive :Nu Negatively-charged; has too many electrons; usually wants to expel either H:- or R:- to an acceptor. tetravalent - reactive Boron is most stable when it is trivalent and has attached elements with unshared pairs ( esp. oxygen ) that can stabilize it through back- bonding resonance. Borates and boric acid are especially stable. .. trivalent backbonding : “GOOD”
