The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative benzylation of α-cyano aliphatic carboxylate salts with benzyl electrophiles was discovered. This reaction exhibits good functional group compatibility and proceeds under relatively mild conditions. A diverse range of quaternary, tertiary and secondary β-aryl nitriles can be conveniently prepared by this method. Copyright

A ruthenium-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) and hydrotalcite-supported palladium nanoparticles (Pdnano/ HT) are easily prepared by treating basic layered double hydroxide, hydrotalcite (HT, Mg6Al 2(OH)16CO3) with aqueous RuCl 3·n H2O and K2[PdCl4] solutions, respectively, using surface impregnation methods. Analysis by means of X-ray diffraction, and energydispersive X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies proves that a monomeric RuIV species is grafted onto the surface of the HT. Meanwhile, after reduction of a surface-isolated PdII species, highly dispersed Pd nanoclusters with a mean diameter of about 70 A is observed on the Pdnano/HT surface by transmission electron microscopy analysis. These hydrotalcite-supported metal catalysts can effectively promote α-alkylation reactions of various nitriles with primary alcohols or carbonyl compounds through tandem reactions consisting of metal-catalyzed oxidation and reduction, and an aldol reaction promoted by the base sites of the HT. In these catalytic α-alkylations, homogeneous bases are unnecessary and the only by-product is water. Additionally, these catalyst systems are applicable to one-pot syntheses of glutaronitrile derivatives.

(Chemical Equation Presented) It was found that the chemoselectivity could be completely switched from C=O to C=C bonds in the transfer hydrogenation of activated α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by diamine-ruthenium complex. Moreover, this addition via metal hydride had been applied to the reduction of various activated olefins. The electron-withdrawing ability of functional groups substituted on C=C bonds at the α- or β-position had strong influence on the reactivity. In addition, a wide variety of chiral diamine-Ru(II)-(arene) systems was investigated to explore the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral α,α-dicyanoolefins. Two parameters had been systematically studied, (i) the structure of the N-sulfonylated chiral diamine ligands, in which several chiral diamines substituted on the benzene ring of DPEN were first reported, and (ii) the structure of the metal precursors, and high enantioselectivitiy (up to 89% ee) at the β-carbon was obtained.

α-Alkylation of various nitriles with carbonyl compounds successfully proceeded using a hydrotalcite-supported palladium nanoparticle as a multifunctional catalyst. The alkylated nitriles were formed through aldol reaction at base sites on the hydrotalcite surface followed by hydrogenation by molecular hydrogen on the palladium nanoparticle.

A domino reaction composed of a Knoevenagel condensation combined with a simultaneous catalytic hydrogenation is reported in an ionic liquid solvent under mild conditions (298-363 K and 300 kPa). No interference between the catalysts (Pd/C and amine acetate salt) of the two diverse steps was monitored. The product could be neatly extracted by diethyl ether and the solvent containing the catalysts could be recycled and reused five times without any loss in activity or selectivity. The same methodology in a common organic solvent such as DMA resulted in significant competing parallel hydrogenation of the aldehyde to alcohol.

Anodic oxidation in a solution containing a variety of olefins and a small amount of Mn(OAc)2*4H2O brought about Mn+3-mediated carbon-carbon bond formation, such as efficient carboxymethylation of styrene derivatives to the corresponding γ-aryl-γ-butyrolactones, and selective coupling of active methylene compounds with non-activated monoolefins, unconjugated dienes or 5-arylpent-1-enes.

Novel carbon-carbon bond formation of non-activated olefins with ethyl cyanoacetate has been developed by anodic oxidation using only small amount of Mn(OAc)2*4H2O to give selectively either saturated or unsaturated coupling products depending upon the pr
