Unveiling the hydroesterification of 1,3-butadiene with carbonyl cobalt ionic liquids: Facilitation of cationic protonic hydrogen for active species formation
The 1,3-butadiene hydroesterification products, such as methyl pentenoate and dimethyl adipate, play a significant role in the production of nylon, plasticizers, and pharmaceutical intermediates. However, due to its unique π-π conjugated system, slow reaction rate, and difficulties in controlling regioselectivity, butadiene presents itself as an incredibly challenging substrate. The development of efficient and low-cost catalysts has gained substantial attention in both theoretical studies and industrial applications due to the high cost or extremely high pressure requirements. In this study, carbonyl cobalt ionic liquids were innovatively employed as catalysts to facilitate the synthesis of monoesters from hydroesterification of butadiene under mild conditions. A series of carbonyl cobalt ionic liquids with different cations were prepared and characterized for their structural properties using IR, ESI, IC, and DFT calculations. The yield of methyl pentenoate was comparable to that of Co2CO8 at 400 bar, and the catalysts exhibited high selectivity to methyl 3-pentenoates (>95 %), establishing a stable, efficient, and low-cost catalytic system. The experiments revealed that the type of the cation in ionic liquids remarkably influence their catalytic performance. Electrostatic potential calculations further confirmed that this performance is tightly related to the dissociation and migration behaviors of protons, leading to the proposal of a screening method for ionic liquids. In this paper, we further calculated the qualitative reaction kinetics and proposed a reaction mechanism in conjunction with previous studies. The reaction is hypothesized to begin with the formation of the active species HCo(CO)4 by proton exchange of [HX]+[Co(CO)4]−, in line with our experimental findings and theoretical calculations. This study presents an innovative approach to overcome the challenges associated with butadiene hydroesterification and paves the way for the development of more efficient and cost-effective catalytic systems.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
