A Rhodium Nanoparticle–Lewis Acidic Ionic Liquid Catalyst for the Chemoselective Reduction of Heteroarenes

Abstract: We describe a catalytic system composed of rhodium nanoparticles immobilized in a Lewis acidic ionic liquid. The combined system catalyzes the hydrogenation of quinolines, pyridines, benzofurans, and furan to access the corresponding heterocycles, important molecules present in fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The catalyst is highly selective, acting only on the heteroaromatic ring, and not interfering with other reducible functional groups.

“…Advantageously, various commercially available structures of these molecules enhance easy optimization of the desired reaction. Based on all this information and our own interest to explore metal-free catalysis, we became interested to find a mild photocatalytic system for the selective oxidation of alcohols. …”

“…They find uses where stronger acids would either hydrolyze, or destroy the reactants, such as O -acylation of cellulose [ 76 ]. In an interesting recent application, chlorozincate(II) ionic liquids diluted with [C 4 mim][BF 4 ] were used as a liquid support and co-catalyst in chemoselective reduction of heteroarenes, promoted by Rh nanoparticles [ 77 ].…”

“…The reported methods for the construction of piperidines and pyrrolidines are mainly divided into two categories. The first type is the reduction method, in which expensive metal catalysts, such as palladium and platinum, are used to catalyze the hydrogenation reduction of pyridines or pyrroles [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Moreover, the reaction usually needs to be conducted at a high pressure of tens to hundreds of atmospheres.…”
