Abstract

Title full: Homogeneous catalysis in water Part III. The catalytic hydrogenation of propionaldehyde with (RuCl₂L₂)₂, RuHClL₃, RuH(OAc)L₃, RuH₂L₄, RuHIL₃, RuCl₂(CO)₂L₂ and [Ru(OAc)(CO)₂L]₂, (LP(C₆H₄-mSO₃Na)₃·3H ₂O): A kinetic investigation of the salt effect in water. Seven water-soluble ruthenium complexes (RuCl₂L₂)₂ 1, RuHClL₃ 2, RuH(OAc)L₃ 3, RuH₂L₄ 4, RuHIL₃ 5, RuCl₂(CO)₂L₂ 6 and [Ru(OAc)(CO)₂L]₂ 7 (LP(C₆H₄-mSO₃Na)₃·3H ₂O) have been tested in the catalytic hydrogenation of propionaldehyde. Their catalytic performances have been compared to those of their organosoluble analogues (1′-7′, LPPh₃). The non-carbonylated complexes 1-5 exhibit comparable rates of propionaldehyde hydrogenation in water at 100 °C, as determined by their first-order rate constants. In contrast, the rates observed with 1′-4′ are different from one another and extremely solvent dependent. With 1, the reaction is first order in aldehyde, catast and hydrogen pressure, as is found for the organosoluble complex RuH(CO)Cl(PPh₃)₃. Starting with 1-4, various equilibria have been observed which lead to the same complex RuH₂L₃(H₂O). These equilibria suggest that the real catalyst precursor in water is RuH₂L₃. Whatever the precursor (1-5) used, addition of alkaline, alkaline-earth and ammonium salt dramatically increases the activity without any loss of selectivity. The rate equation is drastically modified in the presence of salt. It has been established that the salt acts by both its cation and its anion. For a given anion, the rate increases in the order: NR₄⁺ (REt, n-Bu)<Na⁺<Li⁺<K⁺<Mg²⁺ <Ca²⁺. For a given cation, the rate increases in the order: SiF₆^2- <NO₃^- <Cl^- <Br^- <I^-. In the presence of NaI, the coordination spheres of 2-4 are modified in water and lead to the same complex RuHIL₃ 5. The role of the cation has been verified by adding to the catalytic solution a specific sodium cryptand, which resulted in a dramatic drop in activity. A mechanism has been proposed which takes into account the kinetic equation as well as the various observations which were made on the different catalyst precursors.
