Facile Catalytic Hydrogenation with Nitrogen-Anchored Ligands

  • Chapter
Fundamental Research in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract

The 1960’s and 70’s have seen a great deal of interest in homogeneous catalysis. Early visions of the potential of this area included the possibility of homogeneously performing the bulk of the known heterogeneous catalytic reactions, but performing these at lower temperatures. In this sense homogeneous catalysis has been but partially successful. Several catalysts have been developed which do indeed have exceptional activity, but the range of the types of reactions facilitated by homogeneous catalysts is, at present, somewhat restricted. For example, homogeneous catalysts are particularly effective and attractive for hydrogenation and hydroformylation, but other important ÷processes, such as oxidation1 or dehydrogenation2, have not been greatly affected. Even within areas where homogeneous catalysis is very effective, e. g. hydrogenation, catalysts, in some ways, have been disappointing. Hydrogenation has been most successful with respect to hydrocarbons; other functional groups, such as nitro compounds or nitriles, have not been reduced except by a very limited number of catalysts.
