• Oppenauer Oxidation: Cholestenone is prepared by oxidation of
cholesterol in toluene solution with aluminum isopropoxide as
catalyst and cyclohexanone as hydrogen acceptor
• NOTE: Reduction of similar type can be brought by other metallic
alkaloids, but aluminium alkoxide is particularly effective because it
is soluble in both alcohols and hydrocarbons & further being a weak
base it shows little tendency to bring about wasteful condensation
of carbonyl compounds.

WILKINSON REAGENT
• Wilkinson’s Catalyst [IUPAC Name: chloridotris(triphenyl-
phosphine)rhodium(I)] is a coordination compound whose
coordination centre is rhodium.
• It is extensively used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of
alkenes. The chemical formula of Wilkinson’s catalyst can be
written as [RhCl(PPh3)3] where ‘Ph’ denotes a phenyl group. At
ambient temperatures, this coordination complex exists as a
reddish-brown solid.
• Wilkinson’s catalyst is named after the English chemist Sir
Geoffrey Wilkinson.
• The structure adopted by Wilkinson’s Catalyst is square planar
(slightly distorted). The rhodium centre is bound to four ligands in
this compound.
16
 Description: -
• The molar mass of Wilkinson’s catalyst is 925.22 grams/mole
• It’s melting point ranges from 518 to 523 K
• It is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in many hydrocarbon-
based solvents such as benzene and tetrahydrofuran.
Preparation: -
• Wilkinson’s catalyst can be prepared by reacting hydrated
rhodium(III) chloride with excess triphenylphosphine in the
presence of ethanol (which acts as a refluxing agent). Here, the
triphenylphosphine (denoted by the chemical formula P(C6H5)3)
acts as a reducing agent which has the ability to oxidize itself
from an oxidation state of +3 to an oxidation state of +5.
• During the synthesis of Wilkinson’s catalyst, one equivalent of
triphenylphosphine reduces rhodium(III) to rhodium(I) while
three other equivalents bind themselves to the metal as ligands in
the final product.
4P(C6H5)3 RhCl3(H2O)3 RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3 OP(C6H5)3 2HCl 2H2O
+ + + +
17
 Applications: -
• Wilkinson’s catalyst can be employed for the hydro acylation of
alkenes.
• The hydroboration and hydrosilylation of olefins can also be achieved
with the help of this coordination complex.
• Functionalized tri-substituted alkenes and internal alkynes can be
subjected to hydrogenation with the help of Wilkinson’s catalyst in the
presence of hydrogen and a strong base. Here, a highly reactive Rh(I)
species having relatively superior catalytic activity is formed
• This catalyst is highly effective in the selective reduction of the least
hindered olefin when there are several olefins present
Mechanism of catalysis for the hydrogenation of alkene:
• Initially, a 14-electron or 12-electron complex is formed from the
dissociation of 1 or 2 triphenylphosphine ligands.
• Now, the oxidative addition of molecular hydrogen (H2) to the
metal core of Wilkinson’s catalyst (rhodium) occurs.
• The third step of the mechanism involves the formation of a pi
complex with the alkene.
18
• The hydrogen is inserted into the complex via migratory insertion
which could proceed through intramolecular hydride transfer or
through olefin insertion.
• Finally, reductive elimination occurs at the pi complex to regenerate
the catalyst and afford the required alkene product.

 Preparation:
• Titanium tetrachloride: TiCl4 is produced by the chloride process,
which involves the reduction of titanium oxide ores, typically
ilmenite (FeTiO3), with carbon under flowing chlorine at 900 °C.
Impurities are removed by distillation.
2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3+ 6 CO
• Titanium trichloride:
TiCl3 is produced usually by reduction of titanium(IV) chloride.
2 TiCl4 + H2 → 2 HCl + 2TiCl3
• Titanium dichloride:
2 TiCl3 → TiCl2 + TiCl4 28
 Application of titanium tetrachloride:
• Production of titanium metal: The conversion involves the reduction of
the tetrachloride with magnesium metal. This procedure is known as
the Kroll process.
2 Mg + TiCl4 → 2 MgCl2 +Ti
• Production of titanium dioxide: Around 90% of the TiCl4 production is
used to make the pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2). The conversion
involves hydrolysis of TiCl4, a process that forms hydrogen chloride.
TiCl4 + 2 H2O → TiO2 + 4HCl
In some cases, TiCl4 is oxidised directly with oxygen.
TiCl4 + O2 → TiO2 + 2 Cl2
• TiCl4 finds occasional use in organic synthesis, capitalizing on its Lewis
acidity, its oxophilicity, and the electron-transfer properties of its
reduced titanium halides.
• It is used in the Lewis acid catalysed aldol addition. 29
 Application of titanium trichloride:
• TiCl3 is the main Ziegler-Natta catalyst, responsible for most
industrial production of polypropylene. The catalytic activities
depend strongly on the polymorph and the method of preparation.
• TiCl3 is also a reagent in organic synthesis, useful for reductive
coupling reactions, often in the presence of added reducing agents
such as zinc. It reduces oximes to imines.

• Cyclopropenation of Alkynes: Alkynes can be converted to the
corresponding cyclopropene via the pyrazole with 2-diazopropane.
• Insertion into Vinylic C-H Bonds: A common side reaction which
occurs during attempted cyclopropanation of alkenes with
Diazopropane is an overall insertion into a C-H bond of the alkene.
This reaction is favoured by thermal extrusion of N2 and, for this
reason, photolysis is the preferred method of decomposing
pyrazolines to cyclopropanes.

  • 16. WILKINSON REAGENT • Wilkinson’s Catalyst [IUPAC Name: chloridotris(triphenyl- phosphine)rhodium(I)] is a coordination compound whose coordination centre is rhodium. • It is extensively used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes. The chemical formula of Wilkinson’s catalyst can be written as [RhCl(PPh3)3] where ‘Ph’ denotes a phenyl group. At ambient temperatures, this coordination complex exists as a reddish-brown solid. • Wilkinson’s catalyst is named after the English chemist Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson. • The structure adopted by Wilkinson’s Catalyst is square planar (slightly distorted). The rhodium centre is bound to four ligands in this compound. 16
  • 17.  Description: - • The molar mass of Wilkinson’s catalyst is 925.22 grams/mole • It’s melting point ranges from 518 to 523 K • It is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in many hydrocarbon- based solvents such as benzene and tetrahydrofuran. Preparation: - • Wilkinson’s catalyst can be prepared by reacting hydrated rhodium(III) chloride with excess triphenylphosphine in the presence of ethanol (which acts as a refluxing agent). Here, the triphenylphosphine (denoted by the chemical formula P(C6H5)3) acts as a reducing agent which has the ability to oxidize itself from an oxidation state of +3 to an oxidation state of +5. • During the synthesis of Wilkinson’s catalyst, one equivalent of triphenylphosphine reduces rhodium(III) to rhodium(I) while three other equivalents bind themselves to the metal as ligands in the final product. 4P(C6H5)3 RhCl3(H2O)3 RhCl[P(C6H5)3]3 OP(C6H5)3 2HCl 2H2O + + + + 17
  • 18.  Applications: - • Wilkinson’s catalyst can be employed for the hydro acylation of alkenes. • The hydroboration and hydrosilylation of olefins can also be achieved with the help of this coordination complex. • Functionalized tri-substituted alkenes and internal alkynes can be subjected to hydrogenation with the help of Wilkinson’s catalyst in the presence of hydrogen and a strong base. Here, a highly reactive Rh(I) species having relatively superior catalytic activity is formed • This catalyst is highly effective in the selective reduction of the least hindered olefin when there are several olefins present Mechanism of catalysis for the hydrogenation of alkene: • Initially, a 14-electron or 12-electron complex is formed from the dissociation of 1 or 2 triphenylphosphine ligands. • Now, the oxidative addition of molecular hydrogen (H2) to the metal core of Wilkinson’s catalyst (rhodium) occurs. • The third step of the mechanism involves the formation of a pi complex with the alkene. 18
  • 19. • The hydrogen is inserted into the complex via migratory insertion which could proceed through intramolecular hydride transfer or through olefin insertion. • Finally, reductive elimination occurs at the pi complex to regenerate the catalyst and afford the required alkene product. 19
  • 20. WITTIG REAGENT Triphenyl phosphine alkylidiene  Other Name: Triphenylphosphoniumylide, Alkylidienephosphorane  It is used for the synthesis of alkene from ketones and aldehydes P C6H5 C6H5 C6H5 R1 R2 R1 = H R2 = -CH3, -C2H5, -C4H9 20
  • 21.  Preparation: - • Wittig reagents are usually prepared from a phosphonium salt, which is in turn prepared by the quaternization of triphenylphosphine with an alkyl halide. The alkylphosphonium salt is deprotonated with a strong base such as n-butyllithium.

  • 23. OSMIUM TETROXIDE • Osmium tetroxide [also osmium (VIII) oxide] is the chemical compound with the formula OsO4. Description: - • Other names: Tetraoxoosmium, Osmium(VIII) oxide • Chemical formula: OsO4 • Molar mass: 254.23 g/mol • Appearance: white volatile solid • Melting point: 40.250 C • Density: 4.9 g/cm3 • Solubility: soluble in most organic solvents, ammonium hydroxide, phosphorus oxychloride 23
  • 24.  Preparation: • OsO4 is formed slowly when osmium powder(metallic) reacts with O2 at ambient temperature. Reaction of bulk solid requires heating to 4000 C Applications: • Hydroxylation of Alkenes – The reagent is dissolved in dry ether or t-butanol and added to the olefin in presence of a base which accelerate the reaction. • During hydrolysis of osmic ester the O-Os bond cleaves and not the C-O bond and hence the product is always a cis-diol. Os 2O2 OsO4 Heat to redness + R3 R R2 R1 R3 R OH R1 R2 OH OsO4, t- Butanol, Base Osmic Acid + Olefin cis-diol 24
  • 25. • Coordination chemistry - OsO4 is a Lewis acid and a mild oxidant. It reacts with alkaline aqueous solution to give the perosmate anion OsO4(OH)2 2− . This species is easily reduced to osmate anion, OsO2(OH)4 4− .  With tert-BuNH2, the imido derivative is produced:  Similarly, with NH3 one obtains the nitrido complex: • Biological staining - OsO4 is a widely used staining agent used in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to provide contrast to the image. • Polymer staining • Osmium ore refining OsO4 + NH3 + KOH K[Os(N)O3] + 2H2O OsO4 + Me3CNH2 OsO3(NCMe3) + 2H2O 25
  • 26. TITANIUM CHLORIDE  Titanium Chloride is the inorganic compound.  The formula of titanium chlorides is- • Titanium dichloride (TiCl2) • Titanium trichloride (TiCl3) • Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) Ti Cl Cl Cl Cl 26
  • 27.  Description: Titanium tetrachloride Titanium trichloride Titanium dichloride Chemical formula Molar mass Appearance Odor Density Melting point Boiling point Solubility TiCl4 189.679 g/mol Colourless liquid penetrating acid 1.726 g/cm3 -24.10 C 136.40 C Very soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, HCl TiCl3 154.225 g/mol red-violet crystals penetrating acid 2.64 g/cm3 4250 C 9600 C Very soluble in water, soluble in acetone TiCl2 118.77 g/mol black hexagonal crystals penetrating acid 3.13 g/cm3 1,0350 C 1,5000 C Very soluble in water soluble in ethanol 27
  • 28.  Preparation: • Titanium tetrachloride: TiCl4 is produced by the chloride process, which involves the reduction of titanium oxide ores, typically ilmenite (FeTiO3), with carbon under flowing chlorine at 900 °C. Impurities are removed by distillation. 2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3+ 6 CO • Titanium trichloride: TiCl3 is produced usually by reduction of titanium(IV) chloride. 2 TiCl4 + H2 → 2 HCl + 2TiCl3 • Titanium dichloride: 2 TiCl3 → TiCl2 + TiCl4 28
  • 29.  Application of titanium tetrachloride: • Production of titanium metal: The conversion involves the reduction of the tetrachloride with magnesium metal. This procedure is known as the Kroll process. 2 Mg + TiCl4 → 2 MgCl2 +Ti • Production of titanium dioxide: Around 90% of the TiCl4 production is used to make the pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2). The conversion involves hydrolysis of TiCl4, a process that forms hydrogen chloride. TiCl4 + 2 H2O → TiO2 + 4HCl In some cases, TiCl4 is oxidised directly with oxygen. TiCl4 + O2 → TiO2 + 2 Cl2 • TiCl4 finds occasional use in organic synthesis, capitalizing on its Lewis acidity, its oxophilicity, and the electron-transfer properties of its reduced titanium halides. • It is used in the Lewis acid catalysed aldol addition. 29
  • 30.  Application of titanium trichloride: • TiCl3 is the main Ziegler-Natta catalyst, responsible for most industrial production of polypropylene. The catalytic activities depend strongly on the polymorph and the method of preparation. • TiCl3 is also a reagent in organic synthesis, useful for reductive coupling reactions, often in the presence of added reducing agents such as zinc. It reduces oximes to imines. 30
  • 31.
