摘要: Using a multistep synthetic pathway, bis(imino)pyridine (or pyridine diimine, PDI) molybdenum catalyst for the selective conversion of carbon dioxide into methanol has been developed. Starting from (Ph2PPrPDI)Mo(CO), I2 addition afforded [(Ph2PPrPDI)MoI(CO)][I], which features seven-coordinate Mo(II) center. Heating this complex to 100 °C under vacuum resulted in CO loss and formation [(Ph2PPrPDI)MoI][I]. Reduction [(Ph2PPrPDI)MoI][I] presence excess K/Hg yielded (κ6-P,N,N,N,C,P-Ph2PPrPDI)MoH following methylene group C–H activation at α-position one PDI imine substituent. The CO2 facile insertion generate respective η1-formate complex, (κ6-P,N,N,N,C,P-Ph2PPrPDI)Mo(OCOH). When low pressures were added solutions containing pinacolborane, H3COBPin O(BPin)2 was observed along with precatalyst regeneration. HBPin limited, H2C(OBPin)2 ...
