Study on regioselectivity in cobalt catalyzed hydroformylation of α-hexene
-
摘要: 采用密度泛函理论方法,研究了膦配体(L)配位催化活性中间体HCo(CO)2L的电子效应和位阻效应,对α-己烯氢甲酰化反应区域选择的影响。膦配体具有强吸电子能力,可提高HCo(CO)2L的稳定性;同时PPh3配体具有大的空间位阻,抑制了α-己烯吸附配位至HCo(CO)2L、以及C=C双键与Co–H键以支链反应路径加成。形成支链烷基Co中间体过渡态反应能垒(B-TS1)与形成直链烷基Co中间体过渡态(L-TS1)的反应能垒差(ΔΔE)为2.73 kcal/mol,表明前者发生相对困难,有利于按直链路经反应。膦配体的电子效应和位阻效应共同决定α-己烯C=C双键与Co–H键加成反应方式,且有利于直链反应路径加成,产物以直链醛为主。Abstract: Regioselective effects of electron and steric hindrance of catalytically active intermediate HCo(CO)2L coordinated by phosphine ligands on α-hexene hydroformylation were studied based on density functional theory. Phosphine ligands have strong electron-attracting capacity that raises the stability of HCo(CO)2L. PPh3 with large steric hindrance suppresses the coordination of α-hexene with HCo(CO)2L as well as the secondary reaction of the C=C with the Co–H via the branched chain pathway. The energy barrier for the transition state containing linear chain alkyl Co intermediate is lower about 2.73 kcal/mol than that for the transition state with branched chain alkyl Co intermediate, indicating that linear chain pathway is dominant in the addition reaction. Both the electron and steric hindrance effects of phosphine ligands determines the pathway of addition reaction between the C=C of α-hexene and the Co–H. The linear chain addition is preferable that mainly produces linear chain aldehydes.
