- Kinetic study on photocatalytic hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives on titanium dioxide
-
Acetophenone (AP) derivatives were photocatalytically hydrogenated to afford the corresponding secondary alcohols with excellent chemical efficiencies on titanium dioxide (Degussa P25, TiO2) under UV light irradiation. Maximum reaction rates (kmax) and apparent adsorption constants (KLH) under irradiation were obtained from the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic analysis. The kmax values showed a tendency to decrease with the decreasing reduction potentials (Ered) of the AP derivatives, while the KLH values were distributed in the range of 280-780 L mol-1. Among these, simple AP exhibited the greatest adsorptivity upon the UV irradiated TiO2 surface. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the electrons trapped at surface defect Ti (Tist) sites on the TiO2 actually hydrogenated the AP derivatives. The amount of reacted electrons also showed a tendency to decrease with decreasing Ered values, in accord with the dependence on kmax. These results indicate that the electrons accumulated at shallow Tist states easily participate in the hydrogenation of AP derivatives, whereas those trapped at deeper states hardly react with the substrates. The results strongly support the electron transfer reaction model via the Tist sites in the photocatalytic hydrogenation on TiO2. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds with sodium trifluoroacetate
-
In the presence of copper(I) iodide as catalyst, a variety of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones and acid anhydrous, could be trifluoromethylated with sodium trifluoroacetate to give the corresponding alcohols in moderate to high yields, and a possible mechanism was proposed to explain the roles of catalyst and solvent in the reaction system.

- Hemiaminals of trifluoroacetaldehyde, as trifluoromethylating agents
-
Hemiaminals of trifluoroacetaldehyde are new trifluoromethylating agents. These reagents are synthesised from amines and gaseous trifluoroacetaldehyde. tBuONa is able to deprotonate the hemiaminals to form trifluoromethyl anion equivalents CF3CH(O-)NMe2. The trifluoromethyl anion has been transferred from such intermediates to benzaldehyde yielding phenyl (trifluoromethyl) methanol.

- Piano-stool d6-rhodium(III) complexes of chelating pyridine-based ligands and their papain bioconjugates for the catalysis of transfer hydrogenation of aryl ketones in aqueous medium
-
Two half-sandwich d6-rhodium(III) complexes of the general formula [(η5-Cp?)Rh(N^N)Cl]Cl where N^N is a phenanthroline or a bispyridine methane derivative carrying a thiol-targeting maleimide or chloroacetamide function were synthesized and characterized. Both complexes were able to catalyse the transfer hydrogenation of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone in aqueous medium using formate or phosphite as hydrogen donor. Covalent anchoring of these complexes to the cysteine endoproteinase papain yielded hybrid metalloproteins with transfer hydrogenase properties. Under optimized conditions of pH, hydrogen donor concentration and catalyst load, conversion of substrate was nearly quantitative within 24 h at 40 °C and the (S)-enantiomer was obtained preferably albeit with a modest enantiomeric excess of 7-10%. Covalent docking simulations complemented the experimental findings suggesting a molecular rationale for the observed low enantioselectivity. The harmonious use of experimental and theoretical approaches represents an unprecedented starting point for driving the rational design of artificial metalloenzymes built up from papain with higher catalytic efficiency.

- Formation of a hydride containing amido-zincate using pinacolborane
-
Amido-zincates containing hydrides are underexplored yet potentially useful complexes. Attempts to access this type of zincate through combining amido-organo zincates and pinacolborane (HBPin)viaZn-C/H-BPin exchange led instead to preferential formation of amide-BPin and/or [amide-BPin(Y)]?(Y = Ph, amide, H), when the amide is hexamethyldisilazide or 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide and the hydrocarbyl group was phenyl or ethyl. In contrast, the use of a dipyridylamide (dpa) based arylzinc complex led to Zn-C/H-BPin metathesis being the major outcome. Independent synthesis and full characterisation of two LnLi[(dpa)ZnPh2] (L = THF,n= 3; L = PMDETA,n= 1) complexes,1and3, respectively, enabled reactivity studies that demonstrated that these species display zincate type reactivity (by comparison to the lower reactivity of the neutral complex (Me-dpa)ZnPh2,4, Me-dpa = 2,2′-dipyridyl-N-methylamine). This included1performing the rapid deprotonation of 4-ethynyltoluene and also phenyl transfer to α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone in contrast to neutral complex4. Complex1reacted with one equivalent of HBPin to give predominantly PhBPin (ca.90%) and a lithium amidophenylzincate containing a hydride unit, complex7-A, as the major zinc containing product. Complex7-Atransfers hydride to an electrophile preferentially over phenyl, indicating it reacts as a hydridozincate. Attempts to react1with >1 equivalent of HBPin or with catecholborane led to more complex outcomes, which included significant borane and dpaZn substituent scrambling, two examples of which were crystallographically characterised. While this work provides proof of principle for Zn-C/H-BPin exchange as a route to form an amido-zincate containing a hydride, amido-organozincates that undergo more selective Zn-C/H-BPin exchange still are required.

- Homoleptic cobalt(II) phenoxyimine complexes for hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones without base activation of cobalt(II)
-
Air-stable, easy to prepare, homoleptic cobalt(II) complexes bearing pendant-modified phenoxyimine ligands were synthesized and determined. The complexes exhibited high catalytic performance for reducing aldehydes and ketones via catalytic hydrosilylation, where a hydrosilane and a catalytic amount of the cobalt(II) complex were added under base-free conditions. The reaction proceeded even in the presence of excess water, and excellent functional-group tolerance was observed. Subsequent hydrolysis gave the alcohol in high yields. Moreover, H2O had a critical role in activation of the Co(II) catalyst with hydrosilane. Several additional results also indicated that the cobalt(II) center acts as an active catalyst in the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones.

- One-Pot Successive Turbo Grignard Reactions for the Facile Synthesis of α-Aryl-α-Trifluoromethyl Alcohols
-
A novel straightforward one-pot methodology for two successive turbo Grignard reagent (iPrMgCl·LiCl) reactions, was developed for a facile synthesis of α-aryl-α-trifluoromethyl alcohols, motifs of value in pharmaceutical chemistry. The method displayed broad functional group tolerance, including reducible groups. Dual roles of iPrMgCl·LiCl were exploited in the tandem reaction with commercially available iodoarenes or iodoheteroarenes and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate. The process encompasses three successive reactions in a one-pot process: the iPrMgCl·LiCl-mediated iodine/magnesium-exchange reaction of iodoarenes or iodoheteroarenes; nucleophilic addition of various generated aryl or heteroarylmagnesium reagents to 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoroacetate; and the reduction of in-situ generated aryl trifluoromethyl ketones with iPrMgCl·LiCl, to produce the corresponding α-aryl or α-heteroaryl-α-trifluoromethyl alcohols bearing various substituents, including reducible functional groups in good to excellent yields.

- Design of Manganese Phenol Pi-complexes as Shvo-type Catalysts for Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
Catalytic hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions both in academic research and industry. We explored ability of the manganese pi-complexes to act as Shvo-type catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones. DFT calculations suggested that the transfer of hydrogen atoms from the hypothetical intermediate [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)2H] to acetone has low activation barrier of 10.9 kcal mol?1. Experimentally a number of ketones with various functional groups (OMe, NH2, Cl, CF3, pyridyl) were successfully reduced in isopropanol at 90 °C in the presence of the complex [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)3]BF4 (1 mol %) and tBuOK (75 mol %). However, further investigation revealed that the reduction was mainly promoted by base rather than the manganese complex.

This metal-free reaction is operationally simple and performed at ambient temperature, allowing access to desired tertiary alcohols with tri-/difluoromethyl groups in moderate to excellent yields.

-
A highly efficient and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones in water has been successfully achieved with our newly developed catalyst. Simple ketones, as well as α- or β-functionalized ketones, are readily reduced. Formic acid is used as a traceless hydride source. At very low catalyst loading (S/C = 10:000 in most cases; S/C = 50:000 or 100:000 in some cases), the iridium catalyst is impressively efficient at reducing ketones in good to excellent yields. The TOF value can be as high as up to 26:000 mol mol-1 h-1. A variety of functional groups are well tolerated, for example, heteroaryl, aryloxy, alkyloxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, ester, especially acidic methylene, phenol and carboxylic acid groups.

- “Inverse” Frustrated Lewis Pairs: An Inverse FLP Approach to the Catalytic Metal Free Hydrogenation of Ketones

For the first time have boron-containing weak Lewis acids been demonstrated to be active components of Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) catalysts in the hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols. Combining the organosuperbase (pyrr)3P=NtBu with the Lewis acid 9-(4-CF3-C6H4)-BBN generated an “inverse” FLP catalyst capable of hydrogenating a range of aliphatic and aromatic ketones including N-, O- and S-functionalized substrates and bio-mass derived ethyl levulinate. Initial computational and experimental studies indicate the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation with “inverse” FLPs to be different from conventional FLP catalysts that contain strong Lewis acids such as B(C6F5)3.

- A series of novel β-hydroxyamide based catalysts for borane-mediated enantioselective reductions of prochiral ketones: Dedicated to Professor Halil Hosgoren on the occasion of his 66th birthday
-
The enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones with borane in the presence of a chiral ligand has received considerable attention. Hydroxylamine-based chiral ligands with amide and hydroxyl functions in the presence of other co-ordinating groups are highly effective in these asymmetric reductions. The current work presents a simple one step synthesis of a series of β-hydroxyamide-based ligands from the reaction between 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and chiral amino alcohols and their applications as catalysts in asymmetric borane-mediated reductions of aromatic prochiral ketones in THF. The reductions provided the corresponding secondary alcohols with up to 96% ee and in good to excellent yields (89–99%). DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31+g(d) level offered theoretical models to account for the enantioselectivity imposed by the chiral ligands in the reductions of the ketones.

Novel heterogeneous cobalt-based catalysts have been prepared by pyrolysis of cobalt complexes with nitrogen ligands on different inorganic supports. The activity and selectivity of the resulting materials in the hydrogenation of nitriles and carbonyl compounds is strongly influenced by the modification of the support and the nitrogen-containing ligand. The optimal catalyst system ([Co(OAc)2/Phenα-Al2O3]-800 = Cat. E) allows for efficient reduction of both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles including industrially relevant dinitriles to primary amines under mild conditions. The generality and practicability of this system is further demonstrated in the hydrogenation of diverse aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic ketones as well as aldehydes, which are readily reduced to the corresponding alcohols.

Hydrogenations constitute fundamental processes in organic chemistry and allow for atom-efficient and clean functional group transformations. In fact, the selective reduction of nitriles, ketones, and aldehydes with molecular hydrogen permits access to a green synthesis of valuable amines and alcohols. Despite more than a century of developments in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, efforts toward the creation of new useful and broadly applicable catalyst systems are ongoing. Recently, Earth-abundant metals have attracted significant interest in this area. In the present study, we describe for the first time specific molecular-defined manganese complexes that allow for the hydrogenation of various polar functional groups. Under optimal conditions, we achieve good functional group tolerance, and industrially important substrates, e.g., for the flavor and fragrance industry, are selectively reduced.

- Development of (Trifluoromethyl)zinc Reagent as Trifluoromethyl Anion and Difluorocarbene Sources
-
The trifluoromethylation of carbonyl compounds is accomplished by the stable (trifluoromethyl)zinc reagent generated and then isolated from CF3I and ZnEt2, which can be utilized as a trifluoromethyl anion source (CF3-). The reaction proceeds smoothly with diamine as a ligand and ammonium salt as an initiator, providing the corresponding trifluoromethylated alcohol products. Moreover, the (trifluoromethyl)zinc reagent can also be employed as a difluorocarbene source (:CF2) not only for gem-difluoroolefination of carbonyl compounds with phosphine but also for gem-difluorocyclization of alkenes or alkynes via the thermal decomposition, respectively.

- Mesoporous Silica-Supported Amidozirconium-Catalyzed Carbonyl Hydroboration
-
The hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones using a silica-supported zirconium catalyst is reported. Reaction of Zr(NMe2)4 and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) provides the catalytic material Zr(NMe2)n@MSN. Exhaustive characterization of Zr(NMe2)n@MSN with solid-state (SS)NMR and infrared spectroscopy, as well as through reactivity studies, suggests its surface structure is primarily ≡ SiOZr(NMe2)3. The presence of these nitrogen-containing zirconium sites is supported by 15N NMR spectroscopy, including natural abundance 15N NMR measurements using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) SSNMR. The Zr(NMe2)n@MSN material reacts with pinacolborane (HBpin) to provide Me2NBpin and the material ZrH/Bpin@MSN that is composed of interacting surface-bonded zirconium hydride and surface-bonded borane ≡ SiOBpin moieties in an approximately 1:1 ratio, as well as zirconium sites coordinated by dimethylamine. The ZrH/Bpin@MSN is characterized by 1H/2H and 11B SSNMR and infrared spectroscopy and through its reactivity with D2. The zirconium hydride material or the zirconium amide precursor Zr(NMe2)n@MSN catalyzes the selective hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones with HBpin in the presence of functional groups that are often reduced under hydroboration conditions or are sensitive to metal hydrides, including olefins, alkynes, nitro groups, halides, and ethers. Remarkably, this catalytic material may be recycled without loss of activity at least eight times, and air-exposed materials are catalytically active. Thus, these supported zirconium centers are robust catalytic sites for carbonyl reduction and that surface-supported, catalytically reactive zirconium hydride may be generated from zirconium-amide or zirconium alkoxide sites.

- A rhodium(I) dicarbonyl complex with a redox-active ferrocenyl phosphine-NHC ligand: Enhanced reactivity of the metal centre through ferrocene oxidation This paper is dedicated to Professor Claude Lapinte on the occasion of his retirement.
-
A rhodium(I) dicarbonyl complex bearing a bidentate ferrocenyl phosphine-NHC ligand has been synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction methods. Its behaviour towards oxidation was investigated and revealed that changing the oxidation state of ferrocene can significantly modify the electron density at rhodium. Oxidation of the rhodium(I) dicarbonyl complex in acetonitrile furnished an air-stable rhodium(III) complex, stabilized by acetonitrile molecules and with an interesting C-H bond activation at ferrocene. This new rhodium(III) complex is active for the hydrosilylation of acetophenone and its derivatives.

- Nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling: Direct transformation of aldehydes into esters and amides
-
By exploring a new mode of nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling, a method to directly transform both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes into either esters or amides has been developed. The success of this oxidative coupling depends on the appropriate choice of catalyst and organic oxidant, including the use of either α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone or excess aldehyde. Mechanistic data that supports a catalytic cycle involving oxidative addition into the aldehyde C-H bond is also presented.

- Diversity-oriented approach to CF3CHF-, CF3CFBr-, CF3CF2-, (CF3)2CH-, and CF3(SCF3)CH-substituted arenes from 1-(Diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)arenes
-
Arenes substituted with perfluoroalkyl groups are attractive targets for drug and agrochemical development. Exploiting the carbenic character of donor/acceptor diazo compounds, a diversity-oriented synthesis of perfluoroalkylated arenes, for late stage fluorofunctionalization, is described. The reaction of 1-(diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)arenes with HF, F/Br, F2, CF3H, and CF3SH sources give direct access to a variety of perfluoroalkyl-substituted arenes presenting with incremental fluorine content. The value of this approach is also demonstrated for radiochemistry and positron emission tomography with the [18F]-labeling of CF3CHF-, CF3CBrF-, and CF3CF2-arenes from [18F]fluoride.

- Versatile iridicycle catalysts for highly efficient and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds in water
-
Cyclometalated iridium complexes are shown to be highly efficient and chemoselective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of a wide range of carbonyl groups with formic acid in water. Examples include α-substituted ketones (α-ether, α-halo, α-hydroxy, α-amino, α-nitrile or α-ester), α-keto esters, β-keto esters and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The reduction was carried out at substrate/catalyst ratios of up to 50000 at pH 4.5 and required no organic solvent. The protocol provides a practical, easy and efficient way for the synthesis of β-functionalised secondary alcohols, such as β-hydroxyethers, β-hydroxyamines and β-hydroxyhalo compounds, which are valuable intermediates in pharmaceutical, fine chemical, perfume and agrochemical synthesis. Water wonder: Iridicycle catalysts are versatile and allow the highly efficient and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of a variety of carbonyl compounds, including problematic and challenging ones, with formate in neat water (see scheme).

-
An efficient method is reported to reduce aromatic ketones selectively into arylmethylenes or alcohols with hypophosphites and Pd/C, depending on the selected conditions. This study could represent a promising alternative to the classical uses of standard hydrides or molecular hydrogen involved in reduction and deoxygenation procedures.

- Cesium carbonate catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under solvent-free conditions
-
Cs2CO3 has been found to be an efficient and chemoselective catalyst for reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols with one equivalent of Ph2SiH2 as the reductant under solvent-free conditions. Most of the aldehydes employed can be effectively hydrosilated quantitatively to give the corresponding silyl ethers in 2 h at room temperature, whereas the hydrosilylation of ketones proceeded smoothly at 80 °C. The catalyst system tolerates a number of functional groups including halogen, alkoxyl, olefin, ester, nitro, cyano, and heteroaromatic groups; the selective hydrosilylation of aldehydes in the presence of ketone can be effectively controlled by temperature; and hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls resulted in the 1,2-addition products. The catalytic hydrosilylation of suitable dicarbonyls can be applied to the synthesis of poly(silyl ether)s with a high molecular weight and narrow molecular distribution. A general and practical protocol for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under solvent free conditions by using a Cs 2CO3/Ph2SiH2 system is presented. Most of the aldehydes employed can be effectively hydrosilylated quantitatively to give the corresponding silyl ethers in 2 h at room temperature, whereas the reactions with ketones proceed smoothly at 80 °C.

- Steric vs. electronic effects in the Lactobacillus brevis ADH-catalyzed bioreduction of ketones
-
Lactobacillus brevis ADH (LBADH) is an alcohol dehydrogenase that is commonly employed to reduce alkyl or aryl ketones usually bearing a methyl, an ethyl or a chloromethyl as a small ketone substituent to the corresponding (R)-alcohols. Herein we have tested a series of 24 acetophenone derivatives differing in their size and electronic properties for their reduction employing LBADH. After plotting the relative activity against the measured substrate volumes we observed that apart from the substrate size other effects must be responsible for the activity obtained. Compared to acetophenone (100% relative activity), other small substrates such as propiophenone, α,α, α-trifluoroacetophenone, α-hydroxyacetophenone, and benzoylacetonitrile had relative activities lower than 30%, while medium-sized ketones such as α-bromo-, α,α-dichloro-, and α,α-dibromoacetophenone presented relative activities between 70% and 550%. Moreover, the comparison between the enzymatic activity and the obtained final conversions using an excess or just 2.5 equiv. of the hydrogen donor 2-propanol, denoted again deviations between them. These data supported that these hydrogen transfer (HT) transformations are mainly thermodynamically controlled. For instance, bulky α-halogenated derivatives could be quantitatively reduced by LBADH even employing 2.5 equiv. of 2-propanol independently of their kinetic values. Finally, we found good correlations between the IR absorption band of the carbonyl groups and the degrees of conversion obtained in these HT processes, making this simple method a convenient tool to predict the success of these transformations.

Several microorganism strains were used to reduce 2,2,2- trifluoroacetophenone (1) and 4′-Br-2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone (3). Immobilized cells of Geotrichum candidum in calcium alginate led to conversion and enantiomeric excess higher than 99%. By using immobilized G. candidum cells under continuous flow conditions, the same conversion and enantiomeric excess were achieved in 90 min of residence time.

- Polyfluoroalkylation of carbonyl compounds by polyfluoroalkyl anions generated from polyfluorocarboxamides
-
Polyfluoroalkyl anions, generated by reduction of (polyfluoroalkanoyl)piperidines with Et3BHK, were used for the polyfluoroalkylation of carbonyl compounds. Trifluoromethylation of aromatic aldehydes proceeded in good yields, and that of aliphatic aldehydes afforded a moderate yield. In contrast, the yield was low when the reaction involved benzophenone. Pentafluoroethylation and octafluorobutylation of aldehydes were also carried out by using the corresponding (polyfluoroalkanoyl)piperidines, which were prepared from commercially available polyfluorocompounds. The (polyfluoroalkanoyl)piperidines were also prepared through polyfluorination, and were used in the polyfluoroalkylation of aldehydes.
