Abstract:
[Problems] To provide an efficient process for producing an optically active epoxy compound.[Means For Solving Problems] The process for producing an optically active epoxy compound comprises asymmetrically epoxidizing an unsaturated compound with an oxidizing agent in the presence of an optically active titanium-salen complex, an optically active titanium-salalen complex or an optically active titanium-salan complex, with addition of a buffering agent or a buffer solution. The process can inhibit catalyst degradation, reduce the amount of the catalyst used in the reaction, and inhibit a by-product, compared with the prior art, and can provide an optically active epoxy compound in high chemical yield and optical yield and with high quality, and therefore is an industrially useful process.

A novel transition metal complex, preferably a ruthenium-phosphine complex or rhodium-phosphine complex, which is effectively usable in various asymmetric syntheses and, in particular, is more effectively usable in the asymmetric hydrogenation of various ketones; and a novel process for producing an optically active alcohol with the complex. The novel transition metal complex includes a ligand obtained by introducing a diarylphosphino group into each of the 2- and 2′-positions of diphenyl ether, benzophenone, benzhydrol, or the like. It preferably further includes an optically active 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine coordinated thereto. The complex preferably is a novel diphosphine-ruthenium-optically active diamine complex or diphosphine-rhodium-optically active diamine complex. The process comprises using the complex as an asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst to conduct the asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketone compound to thereby obtain an optically active alcohol in a high optical purity and a high yield.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a platinum-free chelate catalyst material as an intermediate product for selective electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen includes performing a low-temperature plasma treatment on a powdery form of the transition-metal chelate in a plasma reactor chamber having an inert plasma gas disposed therein. A plasma power, a plasma gas pressure, a plasma initialization and a treatment time of the low-temperature plasma treatment are selected so that molecules of the transition metal chelate are fragmented in the plasma and cross-link in a subsequent chemical reaction so as to form a carbon matrix and retain a basic chelate structure in a surrounding of the transition metal.
Abstract:
Transition metal complexes of selected monoanionic phosphine ligands, which also contain a selected Group 15 or 16 (IUPAC) element and which are coordinated to a Group 3 to 11 (IUPAC) transition metal or a lanthanide metal, are polymerization catalysts for the (co)polymerization of olefins such as ethylene and α-olefins, and the copolymerization of such olefins with polar group-containing olefins. These and other nickel complexes of neutral and monoanionic bidentate ligands copolymerize ethylene and polar comonomers, especially acrylates, at relatively high ethylene pressures and surprisingly high temperatures, and give good incorporation of the polar comonomers and good polymer productivity. These copolymers are often unique structures, which are described.
