SYNTHESIS OF PHEROMONE DERIVATIVES VIA Z-SELECTIVE OLEFIN METATHESIS
-
Paragraph 0222; 0226-0229, (2021/12/28)
Disclosed herein are methods for synthesizing fatty olefin metathesis products of high Z-isomeric purity from olefin feedstocks of low Z-isomeric purity. The methods include contacting a contacting an olefin metathesis reaction partner, such as acylated alkenol or an alkenal acetal, with an internal olefin in the presence of a Z-selective metathesis catalyst to form the fatty olefin metathesis product. In various embodiments, the fatty olefin metathesis products are insect pheromones. Pheromone compositions and methods of using them are also described.

Neutral and cationic tungsten imido alkylidene complexes of the general formulas W(NtBu)(CHR1)(OR2)Cl(NHC), W(N-2,6-bis(2,4,6-tri-iPr-C6H4)phenyl)(CHR1)Cl2(NHC), [W(NtBu)(CHR1)(OR2)(NHC)][B(ArF)4] and [W(N-2,6-bis(2,4,6-tri-iPr-C6H4)phenyl)(CHR1)Cl(NHC)][B(ArF)4] (R1= CMe3, CMe2Ph; R2= sterically demanding alkoxide; B(ArF)4= tetrakis(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)borate; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) were prepared. Two electronically different NHCs, namely 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMe) and 1,3-dimethyl-4,5-dichloroimidazol-2-ylidene (IMeCl), as well as a variety of terphenolates and a chiral biphenolate were employed.Z-selective homometathesis (HM) of unfunctionalized olefins was achieved with a selectivity of up to 90% and decent turnover numbers (TON) of up to 480 in the HM of 1-dodecene. Additionally, the reactivity of the cationic tungstentert-butylimido complexes in the reaction with vinyltrimethylsilane and ethylene was investigated, which yielded the corresponding silyl-alkylidene complex and, for the first time, a fully characterized cationic tungsten(IV) NHC ethylene complex.

The catalytic utility of [RuL1(CO)2I2] (1), containing an annelated π-conjugated imidazo-naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligand (L1), is evaluated for E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation. The precatalyst 1, in combination with 2 equiv of AgBArF, semihydrogenates a broad range of internal alkynes with molecular hydrogen (5 bar) in water. (E)-Alkenes are accessed in high yields, and a number of reducible functional groups are tolerated. A chelate MIC ligand and two cis carbonyls provide a well-defined platform at the Ru center for hydrogenation and isomerization. The loss of two iodides and the presence of two carbonyls render the Ru center electron deficient and thus the formation of metal vinylidenes with terminal alkynes is avoided. This is leveraged for the semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes by the same catalytic system in isopropyl alcohol. Reaction profile, isomerization, kinetic, and DFT studies reveal initial alkyne hydrogenation to a (Z)-alkene, which further isomerizes to an (E)-alkene via metal-catalyzed Z → E isomerization.
