The asymmetric hydrogenations of acetophenone and its derivatives over the (1S,2S)-DPEN-modified Ru-PPh3/γ-Al2O3 were investigated. The effects of reaction conditions on the asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone are dis
Hydrogenation of aryl ketones using palladium nanoparticles on single-walled carbon nanotubes in an ionic liquid

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are used as supporting materials for palladium (Pd) nanoparticles generated in situ in ionic liquid (IL); Pd nanocatalysts on SWNTs exhibit superior reactivity for hydrogenation of aryl ketones in IL under mild conditions (1 atm of H2 (g) and room temperature) and can be reused above 10 times without any loss of catalytic activity.

New Ir-NHC complexes based on different heterocyclic moieties like imidazole, benzimidazole and imidazolidine are presented and tested in transfer hydrogenation catalysis. A broad range of steric and electronic properties of NHC ligands is covered to give an idea for catalyst design from the experimental point of view.
Highly electron-rich pincer-type iron complexes bearing innocent bis(metallylene)pyridine ligands: Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity

The first neutral bis(metallylene)pyridine pincer-type [ENE] ligands (E = SiII, GeII) were synthesized, and their coordination chemistry and reactivity toward iron was studied. First, the unprecedented four-coordinate complexes κ2E,E'-[ENE]FeCl2 were isolated. Unexpectedly and in contrast to other related pyridine-based pincer-type Fe(II) complexes, the N atom of pyridine is reluctant to coordinate to the Fe(II) site due to the enhanced α-donor strength of the E atoms, which disfavors this coordination mode. Subsequent reduction of κ2Si,Si'-[SiNSi]FeCl2 with KC8 in the presence of PMe3 or direct reaction of the [ENE] ligands using Fe(PMe3)4 produced the highly electron-rich iron(0) complexes [ENE]Fe(PMe3)2. The reduction of the iron center substantially changes its coordination features, as shown by the results of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of [SiNSi]Fe(PMe3)2. The iron center, in the latter, exhibits a pseudosquare pyramidal (PSQP) coordination environment, with a coordinative (pyridine)-Rfnet→Fe bond, and a trimethylphosphine ligand occupying the apical position. This geometry is very unusual for Fe(0) low-spin complexes, and variable-temperature 1H and 31P NMR spectra of the [ENE]Fe(PMe3)2 complexes revealed that they represent the first examples of configurationally stable PSQP-coordinated Fe(0) complexes: even after heating at 70 °C for >7 days, no changes are observed. The substitution reaction of [ENE]Fe(PMe3)2 with CO resulted in the isolation of [ENE]Fe(CO)2 and the hitherto unknown κ2E,E'-[ENE]Fe(CO)2L (L = CO, PMe3) complexes. All complexes were fully characterized (NMR, MS, XRD, IR, and 57Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy), showing the highest electron density on the iron center for pincer-type complexes reported to date. DFT calculations and 57Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy confirmed the innocent behavior of these ligands. Moreover, preliminary results showed that these complexes can serve as active precatalysts for the hydrosilylation of ketones.
Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydroboration of Vinylarenes

The enantioselective hydroboration of vinylarenes catalyzed by a chiral, nonracemic nickel catalyst is presented as a facile method for generating chiral benzylic boronate esters. Various vinylarenes react with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) in the presence of MeOH as a hydride source to form chiral boronate esters in up to 92% yield with up to 94% ee. The use of anhydrous Me4NF to activate B2pin2 is crucial for ensuring fast transmetalation to achieve high enantioselectivities.
Regiodivergent Reductive Opening of Epoxides by Catalytic Hydrogenation Promoted by a (Cyclopentadienone)iron Complex

The reductive opening of epoxides represents an attractive method for the synthesis of alcohols, but its potential application is limited by the use of stoichiometric amounts of metal hydride reducing agents (e.g., LiAlH4). For this reason, the corresponding homogeneous catalytic version with H2 is receiving increasing attention. However, investigation of this alternative has just begun, and several issues are still present, such as the use of noble metals/expensive ligands, high catalytic loading, and poor regioselectivity. Herein, we describe the use of a cheap and easy-To-handle (cyclopentadienone)iron complex (1a), previously developed by some of us, as a precatalyst for the reductive opening of epoxides with H2. While aryl epoxides smoothly reacted to afford linear alcohols, aliphatic epoxides turned out to be particularly challenging, requiring the presence of a Lewis acid cocatalyst. Remarkably, we found that it is possible to steer the regioselectivity with a careful choice of Lewis acid. A series of deuterium labeling and computational studies were run to investigate the reaction mechanism, which seems to involve more than a single pathway.
Cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones: A remarkable additive effect on enantioselectivity

A chiral cobalt pincer complex, when combined with an achiral electron-rich mono-phosphine ligand, catalyzes efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of aryl ketones, affording chiral alcohols with high yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (29 examples, up to 93% ee). Notably, the achiral mono-phosphine ligand shows a remarkable effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction.
