Treatment of a variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones with Mn(dpm)3 (3 mol%)/PhSiH3 (1.3 equiv.)/isopropyl alcohol/O2, followed by reductive work-up with P(OEt)3 resulted in the formation of α-hydroxy-ketones. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Reduction of Ketones and Aldehydes via Catalytic Hydrosilylation Using Triethoxysilane and Trimethoxysilane
Matsumoto, Hideyuki,Hoshino, Yoshikazu,Nagai, Yoichiro
, p. 1279 - 1280 (1981)
It was found that ketones and aldehydes can be effectively reduced via catalytic hydrosilylation using triethoxysilane and trimethoxysilane in the presence of RhCl(PPh3)3 or RuCl2(PPh3)3, followed by ethanolysis or methanolysis.
Bioluminescence in the limpet-like snail, latia neritoides

Latia neritoides is a small limpet-like snail that produces a bright green bioluminescence; it is found only in New Zealand streams. The light-emitting system is unique. Although Latia bioluminescence has been studied since 1880, its mechanism is unclear. Shimomura and Johnson clarified the elements of the mechanism, including the structures of luciferin and luciferase, in 1968. However, neither the emitter nor the mechanism of the excited state of luciferin has been determined. We studied molecular mechanisms to clarify the characteristics of luciferin and luciferase and to produce a new application for this system.

The bioluminescent system of the univalve shell Latia neritoides exhibits a luciferin-luciferase reaction. We study the enol formate structure of Latia luciferin, which is expected to be important for luminescent activity. The Latia luciferin analogues with an enol substituted benzoate moiety were synthesized and their bioluminescent activity was measured. The Latia luciferin benzoate analogues delay emission for natural luciferin in bioluminescence, indicating that the Latia bioluminescent activity can be controlled by the design of the enol ester.

Under mild conditions (room temperature, 80 psi of H2) Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including natural product precursors with bulky substituents in the β position and substrates possessing an array of additional functional groups. It also catalyzes the hydrogenation of many isolated double bonds. Mechanistic studies reveal that no radical intermediates are involved, and the catalyst appears to be homogeneous, thereby affording important complementarity to existing protocols for similar hydrogenation processes.
Asymmetric Cation-Olefin Monocyclization by Engineered Squalene–Hopene Cyclases
Aeberli, Natalie,Berweger, Raphael,Bornscheuer, Uwe T.,Buller, Rebecca,Dossenbach, Sandro,Eichenberger, Michael,Eichhorn, Eric,Flachsmann, Felix,Hüppi, Sean,Hortencio, Lucas,Patsch, David,Voirol, Francis,Vollenweider, Sabine

Squalene–hopene cyclases (SHCs) have great potential for the industrial synthesis of enantiopure cyclic terpenoids. A limitation of SHC catalysis has been the enzymes’ strict (S)-enantioselectivity at the stereocenter formed after the first cyclization step. To gain enantio-complementary access to valuable monocyclic terpenoids, an SHC-wild-type library including 18 novel homologs was set up. A previously not described SHC (AciSHC) was found to synthesize small amounts of monocyclic (R)-γ-dihydroionone from (E/Z)-geranylacetone. Using enzyme and process optimization, the conversion to the desired product was increased to 79 %. Notably, analyzed AciSHC variants could finely differentiate between the geometric geranylacetone isomers: While the (Z)-isomer yielded the desired monocyclic (R)-γ-dihydroionone (>99 % ee), the (E)-isomer was converted to the (S,S)-bicyclic ether (>95 % ee). Applying the knowledge gained from the observed stereodivergent and enantioselective transformations to an additional SHC-substrate pair, access to the complementary (S)-γ-dihydroionone (>99.9 % ee) could be obtained.
Capturing the Monomeric (L)CuH in NHC-Capped Cyclodextrin: Cavity-Controlled Chemoselective Hydrosilylation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones
Bistri-Aslanoff, Olivia,Derat, Etienne,Leloux, Sébastien,Leyssens, Tom,Ménand, Micka?l,Meijide Suárez, Jorge,Riant, Olivier,Roland, Sylvain,Sollogoub, Matthieu,Xu, Guangcan,Zhang, Pinglu,Zhang, Yongmin

The encapsulation of copper inside a cyclodextrin capped with an N-heterocyclic carbene (ICyD) allowed both to catch the elusive monomeric (L)CuH and a cavity-controlled chemoselective copper-catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Remarkably, (α-ICyD)CuCl promoted the 1,2-addition exclusively, while (β-ICyD)CuCl produced the fully reduced product. The chemoselectivity is controlled by the size of the cavity and weak interactions between the substrate and internal C?H bonds of the cyclodextrin.
Recyclable Polyisobutylene-Bound HMPA as an Organocatalyst in Recyclable Poly(α-olefin) Solvents
Fu, Ying-Hua,Bergbreiter, David E.
, p. 6050 - 6058 (2020/10/19)
This work describes the synthesis of a PIB-bound hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) analog and its applications as a recyclable catalyst in allylation of aldehydes and reduction of enones in a recyclable poly(α-olefin) (PAO) polymeric solvent. Kinetic studies of the allylation reaction show that this PIB-bound HMPA analog is as active as HMPA in dichloromethane and PAO and that this PIB-bound catalyst is comparably reactive in heptane and in a PAO solvent. The PIB-bound HMPA catalyst has high phase selective solubility in PAO versus a polar solvent. By using this catalyst in a nonvolatile separable PAO solvent, this catalyst recyclability can be coupled to solvent recyclability, something that is less feasible in a conventional heptane solvent. The result is good recycling of catalyst and solvent through at least 5 cycles using simple gravity-based liquid/liquid extractions. This is in contrast to HMPA or conventional solvents which are less recyclable.

Selectivity between 1,2 and 1,4 addition of a nucleophile to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound has classically been modified by the addition of stoichiometric additives to the substrate or reagent to increase their “hard” or “soft” character. Here, we demonstrate a conceptually distinct approach that instead relies on controlling the coordination sphere of a catalyst with visible light. In this way, we bias the reaction down two divergent pathways, giving contrasting products in the catalytic hydroboration of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This includes direct access to previously elusive cyclic enolborates, via 1,4-selective hydroboration, providing a straightforward and stereoselective route to rare syn-aldol products in one-pot. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments confirm two different mechanisms are operative, underpinning this unusual photocontrolled selectivity switch.

The invention provides a method of preparing gamma-ketene from alpha, gamma-unsaturated diketene. According to the method, single hydrogen silane is used as a silicon hydrogen reducing agent, a palladium complex is used as a catalyst, a Lewis acid is used as an auxiliary agent, and alpha, gamma-unsaturated diketene are subjected to silicon hydrogen reduction reactions to obtain gamma-ketene through a one-step method. The method has the advantages of mild conditions, simple operation, high product selectivity and yield, cheap and easily available silicon hydrogen reducing agent, high catalystactivity, little using amount, and low cost, and has potential of industrial scale-up.
