The complex was found to be a selective ethylene dimerization catalyst in the presence of co-catalysts such as methylalumoxane (MAO) and diethylaluminum chloride (DEAC). With DEAC, the productivity was considerably higher than with MAO. Under optimum conditions the productivity reaches 388 kg/mol catalyst/h/bar with DEAC whereas for MAO this value was 119 kg/mol catalyst/h/bar. Complex 3 displays good ethylene conversions of up to a maximum of 90% with exceptionally high alpha-selectivity for 1-butene (&amp;gt;99.5%) amongst C-4 products. Computational studies using density functional theory (DFT) were also carried out to ascertain the decomposition pathway for 3 as well as that for Ni(II) complex of the pyridine ketoxime ligand 2. The results suggest that loss of one of the two bidentate oxime ligands attached to the metal center through reaction with DEAC is likely for both 2 and 3. Further, calculations indicate that the subsequent decomposition step was significantly more probable for 3 than for 2 thus explaining why the pyridine ketoxime ligand bound nickel complex 2 was experimentally found to be more stable than the thiophene aldoxime bound nickel complex 3. Calculations also show that the proton of the -OH group (oxime) plays a major role in the stability of the molecules. This was confirmed experimentally by synthesizing the Ni(II) dichloro complex of Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde O-methyloxime 5 and reacting it with ethylene under similar conditions. 5 was found to be highly active even at low co-catalyst concentrations.

Transition metal-based systems are known to be effective catalysts for this reaction, but developing metal free catalytic systems would lead to highly desirable cheaper and greener alternatives. With this in mind, this computational study investigates design strategies than can lead to metal free frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) that can be employed for AAD catalysis. A careful study of 36 different proposed FLP candidates reveals that several new FLPs can be designed from existing, experimentally synthesized FLPs that can rival or be even better than state-of-the-art transition metal-based systems in catalyzing the alcohol dehydrogenation process.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.785</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Arnab</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mane, Manoj V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Haridas B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Siddappa A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sridhar, Balasubramanian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dateer, Ramesh B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalyst-free regioselective [3+2] cycloadditions of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-arylnitrones with alkenes to access functionalized isoxazolidines: a DFT study</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemistry-An Asian Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DFT study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">isoxazolidines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">metal and ligand free</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">nitrone cycloaddition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regioselective</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">899-903</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The catalyst-free regioselective [3+2]-cycloaddition of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-arylnitrones with alkenes are developed.
