Abstract

:
Cobalt pi-complexes, previously described in the literature and specially synthesized and characterized in this work, were used as catalysts in homogeneous oxidation of organic compounds with peroxides. These complexes contain pi-butadienyl and pi-cyclopentadienyl ligands: [(tetramethylcyclobutadiene)(benzene)cobalt] hexafluorophosphate, [(C4Me4)Co(C6H6)]PF6 (1); diiodo(carbonyl)(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt, Cp*Co(CO)I2 (2); diiodo(carbonyl)(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt, CpCo(CO)I2 (3); (tetramethylcyclobutadiene)(dicarbonyl)(iodo)cobalt, (C4Me4)Co(CO)2I (4); [(tetramethylcyclobutadiene)(acetonitrile)(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt] hexafluorophosphate, [(C4Me4)Co(bipy)(MeCN)]PF6 (5); bis[dicarbonyl(B-cyclohexylborole)]cobalt, [(C4H4BCy)Co(CO)2]2 (6); [(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(iodo)(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt] hexafluorophosphate, [Cp*Co(phen)I]PF6 (7); diiodo(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt, [CpCoI2]2 (8); [(cyclopentadienyl)(iodo)(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt] hexafluorophosphate, [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 (9); and [(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(iodo)(2,2′-bipyridyl)cobalt] hexafluorophosphate, [Cp*Co(bipy)I]PF6 (10). Complexes 1 and 2 catalyze very efficient and stereoselective oxygenation of tertiary C–H bonds in isomeric dimethylcyclohexanes with MCBA: cyclohexanols are produced in 39 and 53% yields and with the trans/cis ratio (of isomers with mutual trans- or cis-configuration of two methyl groups) 0.05 and 0.06, respectively. Addition of nitric acid as co-catalyst dramatically enhances both the yield of oxygenates and stereoselectivity parameter. In contrast to compounds 1 and 2, complexes 9 and 10 turned out to be very poor catalysts (the yields of oxygenates in the reaction with cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane were only 5%–7% and trans/cis ratio 0.8 indicated that the oxidation is not stereoselective). The chromatograms of the reaction mixture obtained before and after reduction with PPh3 are very similar, which testifies that alkyl hydroperoxides are not formed in this oxidation. It can be thus concluded that the interaction of the alkanes with MCPBA occurs without the formation of free radicals. The complexes catalyze oxidation of alcohols with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP). For example, tert-BuOOH efficiently oxidizes 1-phenylethanol to acetophenone in 98% yield if compound 1 is used as a catalyst.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Selective functionalization of C–H bonds in hydrocarbons and other compounds is a very real aim of contemporary catalytic science [1,2,3,4]. Numerous transition metal complexes play roles of efficient catalysts in oxygenation of hydrocarbons as well as alcohols [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Derivatives of cobalt are known to catalyze various transformations of organic compounds [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. Molecular oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxides, and peroxyacids were used as oxidants in these oxygenations. Certain complexes of transition metals have been previously reported to oxidize organic compounds including alkanes with meta-chloroperoxybenzoicacid (MCPBA [25]) [25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44] (see, for example, complexes of cobalt [21,24,38], manganese [26,27,34,36,44], iron [28], nickel [30,31,32,33,35,37,39,42,43] and vanadium [40]). Earlier, Nam [15,16] reported that alkane oxidation with MCPBA catalyzed by some cobalt compounds proceeds stereoselectively. It is interesting to check the oxidation various cobalt organometallic complexes bearing ligands of different types, π-cyclobutadienyl, cyclopentadienyl, π-arene, carbonyl, amine, etc. derivatives, and compare both their activity in the reaction and stereoselectivity. It is also attractive to find any dependence of the product yield and stereoselectivity parameter on the structure of the particular complex. Complexes containing various ligands in different compositions have been chosen.
In the present work, we studied oxidation of alkanes and alcohols with peroxides catalyzed by certain organometallic derivatives of cobalt. Many of the complexes have been synthesized and characterized in this work for the first time.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Catalysts, Substrates and Oxidants

We used various cyclobutadienyl and cyclopentadienyl derivatives of cobalt as catalysts for oxidation of organic compounds with peroxides. Structural formulae of the catalysts are depicted in Scheme 1.

2.2. Syntheses of Catalysts

Syntheses of new complexes obtained in this work are described in Section 3.2. Complex [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 (9) was prepared in high yield by the described in the literature method but with the usage of the improved counterion-exchange procedure (see Section 3.2). The related pentamethylated complexes with N,N-ligands, [Cp*Co(phen)I]PF6 (7) and [Cp*Co(bipy)I]PF6 (10), were synthesized in similar way by reactions of Cp*Co(CO)I2 (2) with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridyl. The cyclobutadiene complex [(C4Me4)Co(bipy)(MeCN)]PF6 (5) was prepared by photochemical replacement of benzene ligand in [(C4Me4)Co(C6H6)]PF6 (1) by 2,2′-bipyridyl in acetonitrile solution. All cationic complexes described here were isolated as salts with the PF6− anion. All catalysts are indefinitely stable in air in solid state.

2.3. Structures of Catalysts

Complexes 7, 9, and 10 were investigated by X-ray diffraction. Their molecular structures, bond lengths and angles as well as crystallographic data and structure refinement parameters are given in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as in Section 3.3.
In the case of 9, the symmetry-independent part of the unit cell contains two formula units. All complexes have a piano-stool geometry. The bi-pyridine ligand in 9 and 10 is almost planar; the dihedral angle formed by the intersection of the planes defined by the pyridyl rings is equal to 5.83 (6.55) and 8.78°, respectively. The Co···C5 distance in pentamethylated complexes 10 (1.691 Å) and 7 (1.687 Å) is somewhat longer than the corresponding distance in the unsubstituted derivative 1 (1.667 and 1.683 Å, average 1.675 Å); this can be explained by sterical effect of five methyl groups. The length of the Co–I bond in the three complexes 7, 9 and 10 varies in the range 2.5718(13)–2.5798(4) Å.
The main geometric parameters of 10 resembles those in a recently characterized chloride analog [Cp*Co(bipy)Cl]PF6 [45]. For example, the dihedral angle between the Cp and bipy planes in 10 (38.2°) is close to that in [Cp*Co(bipy)Cl]PF6 (41.5°) but smaller than in 9 (average 50.1°) and 7 (49.2°).

2.4. Determination of Alkyl Hydroperoxides by GC before and after Reduction with PPh3

Earlier, one of us developed a convenient method for the analysis of mixtures obtained in alkane oxidation with molecular oxygen or peroxides [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55] (the Shul’pin method [56]). In many cases, oxidation leads to the formation of three main products (alkyl hydroperoxide, alcohol and ketone). If a reaction solution is injected directly (see, for example, [57,58,59,60,61,62]) to the chromatograph, the alkyl hydroperoxide ROOH (if present) decomposes in the injector and/or column to produce the alcohol and ketone in approximately equal amounts.
However, if a sample of the reaction mixture is reduced by an excess of solid PPh3 (or thiourea) during 10–20 min, the alkyl hydroperoxide is quantitatively transformed into the corresponding alcohol. Comparing concentrations of the alcohol and ketone before and after treatment with PPh3, we can qualitatively conclude on existence or non-existence of ROOH in the solution [63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71]. Moreover, the real concentrations of the alkyl hydroperoxide as well as of alcohol and ketone can be calculated (estimated) using the data obtained before and after reduction [72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81]. Selectivity of the oxidation reaction can be characterized by the parameter [ROOH + A]/[K] where [ROOH + A] and [K] are concentrations of alcohol and ketone after reduction with PPh3, respectively [82,83]. However, this parameter gives us absolutely no information on existence or non-existence of ROOH in the solution.
We must emphasize that, although treatment with PPh3 can be used in order to only remove from the reaction mixtures peroxides (starting H2O2, tert-BuOOH, produced ROOH etc.) [84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91], the main aim of the method under discussion is estimation of real concentrations of ROOH, alcohol and ketone formed in the reaction. Chromatograms obtained only after reduction of the reaction mixture cannot be used for determination of real concentration of each oxygenate. Nevertheless, such chromatograms give valuable information on the total concentration of produced oxygenates.

2.5. Oxidation of Alkanes and Alcohols with Peroxides

We have tested the catalytic effect of compound 1–10 in the reactions of alkanes and alcohols with various oxidants. These reactions are summarized in Scheme 2.
All complexes exhibited low activity in the oxidations with hydrogen peroxide. Some examples are presented in Table 1. The oxidation affords predominantly cyclohexyl hydroperoxide because the treatment of the reaction solution with PPh3 leads to the decrease of the ketone peak and increase of the alcohol peak in GC [55] (compare entries 1 and 2 in Table 1).
Hydrogen peroxide is not a good oxidizing agent for alcohols in our case of cobalt catalysts. For example, 1-phenylethanol (0.33 M) after 180 min at 60 °C (other conditions are the same as in Table 1) gave 5.0 mM of acetophenone (yield was only 1.5%) when the reaction was catalyzed by complex 1. In contrast, tert-BuOOH efficiently oxidizes (yield 98% after 13 h) 1-phenylethanol if compound 1 is used as a catalyst (Figure 4).

2.6. Stereoselective Oxidation with meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid (MCPBA)

It turned out that the third oxidant, MCPBA, is a weak oxidant in the reaction with 1-phenylethanol. Thus, the oxidation catalyzed by complex 1 in the presence of HNO3 (for the conditions, see Table 1) afforded after 3 h acetophenone in only 18% yield. The oxidation of cyclohexane was also inefficient (Table 2). It should be noted that the chromatogram made before and after reduction of samples with triphenylphosphine as well as the ketone/alcohol ratio is not changed in the chromatograms. This indicates that cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is not formed in the course of the oxidation (for this simple method, see References [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]). In contrast, Figure 5, which is presented here for comparison, demonstrates that cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, CyOOH, is produced in the oxidation with MCPBA catalyzed by the salt Mn(ClO4)2. In the course of the reaction, CyOOH gradually decomposes to afford cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.
The most impressive results have been obtained in oxidations of alkanes containing tertiary C–H bonds. Thus, cobalt complexes under consideration exhibited relatively high activity in the oxidation of isomers of dimethylcyclohexane with MCPBA (Table 3). The chromatograms of the reaction solutions made before and after reduction of samples with triphenylphosphine are very similar (see Table 3, run 6) and the ketone/alcohol ratio is not changed in the chromatograms. It should be noted that tertiary alkyl hydroperoxides easily decompose in hot injector with splitting C–H bonds and formation of carbonyl derivatives [2]. If tertiary alkyl hydroperoxide is produced the chromatograms before and after reduction with PPh3 should be different which is not our case. Thus, alkyl hydroperoxides are not formed in the course of the oxidation (for the method, see References [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56]). The yield of tertiary alcohols attained 53% based on MCPBA (Table 3, run 22). In many cases shown in Table 3 the reaction proceeds stereoselectively, the highest parameter trans/cis = 0.05–0.07 was attained for catalysts 1, 2 and 3. The lowest ratios trans/cis have been achieved when nitric acid in low concentration has been added to the reaction solution.
The data collected in Table 3 allow us to compare activities and stereoselectivity parameters of different cobalt complexes. Table 3 indicates sufficiently different catalytic activities and stereoselectivity parameters in the oxidations catalyzed by different cobalt complexes. Addition of nitric acid greatly enhances the efficiency in all cases. In the hydroxylation of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane complexes 1 and 8 exhibit the highest activity (yields are 39% and 53% after 2 h). However, the oxidation catalyzed by complex 1 is much more selective (trans/cis = 0.05) than that in the presence of compound 8 (trans/cis = 0.3). Complexes 9 and 10 containing bulky 1,1′-dipyridil ligands are very poor and non-stereoselective catalysts which is apparently due to sterical hindrance around the reaction center. Previously, Nam et al. [16] in the oxidation catalyzed by Co(ClO4)2 used large excess of cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane (1 mmol) over MCPBA (0.02 mmol) and obtained the oxygenates in 80% yield based in the oxidant. We introduced into the reaction low amount of the expensive substrate (140 mM) and larger concentration of MCPBA (260 mM). In our case, hydroxylated products were obtained in high yield: 53% based on the substrate.

2.7. Studies of Obtained Complexes by Electrospray Ionization/Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) Method

In order to determine possible organo-cobalt spices responsible for the catalytic oxidation of alkanes by MCPBA, we investigated the reaction of the obtained cobalt complexes with HNO3 by the ESI-MS method, which is a common tool to gain mechanistic insights into homogeneous metal-catalyzed reactions [92]. The primary reaction of containing bidentate nitrogen ligands iodide complexes 7, 9, and 10 with HNO3 in acetonitrile leads to the replacement of iodide with either a nitrate anion or an acetonitrile molecule. Thus, the ESI-MS spectrum of the reaction mixture with complex 7 (Figure 6) reveals two main peaks corresponding to ionic fragments [Cp*Co(phen)(CH3CN)]2+ (m/z = 207.8) and [Cp*Co(phen)(NO3)]+ (m/z = 436.0). It can be concluded on the basis of Table 3 (runs 33, 36–39) that complexes 7, 9, and 10 containing phenanthroline or dipyridine ligands are the poorest catalysts in the alkane oxygenation.
In contrast, interaction of HNO3 under the same reaction conditions with complexes 3, 6, and 8 results in complete decomposition of the complexes to form solvated Co2+ salts detected by the appearance of two characteristic peaks in the ESI-MS spectra with m/z = 152.3 and 243.5 (Figure 7) attributed to species [Co(MeCN)6]2+ and [Co(MeCN)3(NO3)]+, respectively. The catalysts 3–6, and 8 exhibited in the oxidation moderate yield and stereoselectivity (see Table 3). Noteworthy, although complexes 3, 6, and 8 heated with HNO3 exhibit the same patterns in the ESI-MS spectra they have different behavior in the catalytic oxidation of cis-1,2-DMCH. The oxidation stereoselectivity in the case of complex 8 is lower than that for complexes 3 and 6. It can be due to lower bulkiness of active species formed from 8 in comparison with the case of pre-catalysts 3 and 6.
It is interesting that efficient in stereoselective oxidation complex 1 (Table 3, runs 4–19) was significantly more stable toward HNO3. After heating in acetonitrile during 1 h at 55 °C the ESI-MS spectrum reveals the sole signal (m/z = 245) corresponding to the starting cation [Cb*Co(C6H6)]+. However, addition of MCPBA and prolonged heating for 1 h leads to appearance of extra signals in the spectrum (Figure 8), which clearly indicates the interaction of 1 with MCPBA leading to the activation of pre-catalyst [Cb*Co(C6H6)]+.

2.8. On the Mechanism of Catalyzed C–H Bond Oxidation with MCPBA

We demonstrated in Section 2.5 that the catalyzed alkane oxidation with H2O2 affords predominantly alkyl hydroperoxides because the treatment of the reaction solution with PPh3 leads to the decrease of the ketone peak and increase of the alcohol peak in GC [55] (compare entries 1 and 2 in Table 1). The cyclohexane oxidation with MCPBA catalyzed by the manganese salt affords some amount of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide (Figure 5). On the contrary, catalysis by cobalt complexes of the oxidation of dimethycyclohexane with MCPBA led to the identical results for the product content measured before and after reduction with PPh3 (see Table 3, run 6). Thus, we may conclude that alkyl hydroperoxides are not formed in the oxidation with MCPBA and that free radicals are not involved into the process. The reaction most probably proceeds via the concerted mechanism with peroxide oxygen insertion into the alkane C–H bond [37,42,61].

3. Materials and Methods

3.1. General

The syntheses were carried out under an inert atmosphere in dry solvents. The isolation of products was conducted in air. Hydrogen peroxide, TBHP, and MCPBA were used as oxidants. Acetonitrile was employed as solvent in all oxidations. 1H-NMR spectra (δ in ppm) were recorded on a Bruker Avance-400 spectrometer (Moscow, Russia) (400.13 MHz) relative to residual protons of the solvents.

3.2. Syntheses of Complexes

The isolation of products was conducted in air. Catalysts [(C4Me4)Co(C6H6)]PF6 (1) [93], Cp*Co(CO)I2 (2) [94], CpCo(CO)I2 (3) [95], (C4Me4)Co(CO)2I (4) [93], [(C4H4BCy)Co(CO)2]2 (6) [96], and [CpCoI2]n (8) [97] have been described previously in the literature. Complex [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 (9) was prepared by King’s method [95] in high yield, with the use of the improved counterion-exchange procedure described below.
Compound [(C4Me4)Co(bipy)(MeCN)]PF6 (5). A solution of the complex [(C4Me4)Co(C6H6)]PF6 (1) (100 mg, 0.26 mmol) in acetonitrile (3 mL) was irradiated using mercury luminescent lamp (400 W) for 2 h with the use of a running water cooler for 2 h. 2,2′-Bipyridyl (44 mg, 0.28 mmol) was added to the obtained solution. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was extracted with CH2Cl2 and ether was added.

Compound [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 (9). Complex [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 was prepared by King’s method [95] in high yield, with the use of the improved counterion-exchange procedure given below. Benzene (5 mL) was added to a mixture of complex CpCo(CO)I2 [95] (3,120 mg, 0.28 mmol) and bipy (73 mg, 0.55 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight.

3.3. X-ray Diffraction Study

Crystals were grown by slow diffusion in a two-layer system of ether/petroleum ether mixture with solution of complex in acetonitrile (for [Cp*Co(phen)I]PF6 (7)) or acetone (for [CpCo(bipy)I]PF6 (9) and [Cp*Co(bipy)I]PF6 (10)). X-ray diffraction data for 10 were collected with Bruker Apex2 DUO diffractometer (Moscow, Russia) at 100 K and those for 7 and 9 with Bruker Apex 2 diffractometer at 120 and 100 K, respectively, using graphite monochromated Mo-Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å, ω-scans). The structures were solved by the direct method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares against F2 in anisotropic approximation for non-hydrogen atoms. The positions of hydrogen atoms were calculated, and they were refined in isotropic approximation in riding model. Crystal data and structure refinement parameters for 7, 9, and 10 are collected in Table 4. All calculations were performed using the SHELXTL PLUS 5.0 [98]. CCDC 1504665, 1504667 and 1504666 contain the supplementary crystallographic data for 7, 9, and 10, respectively. These data can be obtained free of charge via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif.
The molecular structures, bond lengths and angles as well as crystallographic data and structure refinement parameters of the three catalysts 7, 9, and 10 obtained in this work are given in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 above and Table 4 below.

3.4. Catalytic Oxidation of Alkanes and 1-Phenylethanol

Typically, catalyst and the co-catalyst (nitric or trifluoroacetic acid) were introduced into the reaction mixture in the form of stock solutions in acetonitrile. The reactions of alcohols and hydrocarbons were carried out in air in thermostated Pyrex cylindrical vessels with vigorous stirring and using MeCN as solvent. The substrate (alcohol or hydrocarbon) was then added and the reaction started when the oxidant was introduced in one portion. (CAUTION: The combination of air or molecular oxygen and peroxides with organic compounds at elevated temperatures may be explosive!). The reactions with 1-phenylethanol were analyzed by 1H-NMR method (solutions in acetone-d6; “Bruker AMX-400” instrument, 400 MHz). Areas of methyl group signals were measured to quantify oxygenates formed in oxidations of 1-phenylethanol. As we made previously, the samples obtained in the alkane oxidation were typically analyzed twice (before and after their treatment with PPh3) by GC. This method (comparison of chromatograms of the same sample obtained before and after addition of PPh3) was proposed by Shul’pin earlier [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56] and allows us to estimate real concentration of alkyl hydroperoxide, ketone (aldehyde and alcohol) present in the reaction solution. Samples of the reaction mixture were analyzed by GC (the chromatograph-3700; fused silica capillary column FFAP/OV-101 20/80 w/w, 30 m × 0.2 μm × 0.3 μm; helium as a carrier gas). Attribution of peaks was made by comparison with chromatograms of authentic samples and by GC–MS (INEOS, Moscow, Russia).

1 Reactions were performed in MeCN (total volume 2.5 mL). Concentrations: [Substrate]0 = 140 mM, [MCPBA]0 = 260 mM, catalyst [Cat]0 = 0.5 mM, 40 °C. Samples were analyzed by GC after reduction with PPh3. t-Dimethyl and c-dimethyl alcohol are tertiary alcohols with trans- and cis-mutual orientation of methyl groups, respectively. The ratio trans/cis is the ratio of these two isomers. Parameters for entries 22 and 35 were TON = 150 and TOF = 75 h‒1; 2 The chromatogram obtained for the reaction solution before reduction with PPh3 (t-dimethyl alcohol, 2.5 mM; t-dimethyl alcohol, 52 mM) did not practically distinguish from the data obtained for the reduced sample; 3 Trifluoroacetic acid (50 mM) was used instead of nitric acid; 4 Salt LiNO3 (50 mM) was used instead of nitric acid.
