One-pot sequential and cascade processes performed by employing ene-reductases (ERs) together with ω-transaminases (ω-TAs) for the obtainment of diastereomerically enriched (R)- and (S)-amine derivatives containing an additional stereocenter were investigated. By using either α- or β-substituted unsaturated ketones as substrates and by coupling purified ERs belonging to the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family with a panel of commercially available ω-TAs, the desired products were obtained in up to >99% conversion and >99%de. The sequential reactions were performed in a one-pot fashion with no need to adapt the reaction conditions to the reductive amination step or to purify the reaction intermediate. Moreover, high chemoselectivity of the tested ω-TAs for the saturated ketones was shown in the cascade reactions.

Thermodynamically controlled deracemization of some acyclic ketones bearing a chiral center at the position α to the carbonyl group was satisfactorily achieved. Acyclic ketones with high optical purities could be isolated after treatment of the racemic ketones with base in aqueous MeOH in the presence of (-)-(2R,3R)-trans-2,3-bis(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[5. 4]decane (1a). The efficiency of the deracemization was appreciably influenced by the ratio of H2O/MeOH used as solvent. Racemic ketones bearing a chiral center at the position α to the carbonyl group were converted into optically active ketones in the presence of TADDOL-type host molecule 1a in H2O/MeOH in suspension in basic media.

Multi-enzyme cascade synthesis of the most odorous stereoisomers of the commercial odorant Muguesia
Brenna, Elisabetta,Crotti, Michele,Gatti, Francesco G.,Monti, Daniela,Parmeggiani, Fabio,Pugliese, Andrea,Santangelo, Sara
, p. 37 - 41 (2015)
The most odorous stereoisomers of the chiral commercial fragrance Muguesia are prepared by a very effective linear biocatalysed cascade reaction, in which a suitable unsaturated ketone is submitted to the sequential action of two enzymes, an ene-reductase and an alcohol dehydrogenase, which are added together to the same reaction vessel with the cofactor regeneration system. Two stereogenic centres in 1,2 relative position are thus created under high stereochemical control by a two-step one-pot enzymatic procedure.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of conjugated enones is one of the most efficient and straightforward methods to prepare optically active ketones. In this study, chiral bidentate Ir-N,P complexes were utilized to access these scaffolds for ketones bearing the stereogenic center at both the α- and β-positions. Excellent enantiomeric excesses, of up to 99%, were obtained, accompanied with good to high isolated yields. Challenging dialkyl substituted substrates, which are difficult to hydrogenate with satisfactory chiral induction, were hydrogenated in a highly enantioselective fashion.

A family of phosphite/phosphinite-thioether ligands have been tested in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a range of olefins (50 substrates in total). The presented ligands are synthesized in three steps from cheap indene and they are air-stable solids. Their modular architecture has been crucial to maximize the catalytic performance for each type of substrate. Improving most Ir-catalysts reported so far, this ligand family presents a broader substrate scope, covering different substitution patterns with different functional groups, ranging from unfunctionalized olefins, through olefins with poorly coordinative groups, to olefins with coordinative functional groups. α,β-Unsaturated acyclic and cyclic esters, ketones and amides werehydrogenated in enantioselectivities ranging from 83 to 99% ee. Enantioselectivities ranging from 91 to 98% ee were also achieved for challenging substrates such as unfunctionalized 1,1′-disubstituted olefins, functionalized tri- and 1,1′-disubstituted vinyl phosphonates, and β-cyclic enamides. The catalytic performance of the Ir-ligand assemblies was maintained when the environmentally benign 1,2-propylene carbonate was used as solvent. (Figure presented.).
Silicon Carbide Supported Palladium-Iridium Bimetallic Catalysts for Efficient Selective Hydrogenation of Cinnamaldehyde

Selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls into saturated carbonyls is important to obtain remunerative products. However, it is still a challenge to achieve high activity and selectivity under mild conditions. Herein, Pd, Ir and bimetallic Pd-Ir nanoparticles were uniformly deposited with high dispersity on the surface of SiC by a facile impregnation method, respectively. The as-prepared Pd/SiC catalysts efficiently hydrogenate cinnamaldehyde to hydrocinnamaldehyde at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the activity of Pd/SiC is observed further enhanced by adding Ir component (conversion of 100%). In addition, the dependence of Pd-Ir catalyst activity on Pd/Ir molar ratio confirms a synergistic effect between Ir and Pd, which originates from the electron transfer between Pd and Ir.
Capturing the Monomeric (L)CuH in NHC-Capped Cyclodextrin: Cavity-Controlled Chemoselective Hydrosilylation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones

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.

This work identifies a family of Ir/phosphite-sulfoximine catalysts that has been successfully used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins with poorly coordinative or noncoordinative groups. In comparison with analogue Ir/phosphine-sulfoximine catalysts previously reported, the presence of a phosphite group extended the range of olefins than can be efficiently hydrogenated. High enantioselectivities, comparable to the best ones reported, have been achieved for a wide range of olefins containing relevant poorly coordinative groups such as α,β-unsaturated enones, esters, lactones, and lactams as well as alkenylboronic esters.

A new single-step proline-potassium acetate promoted reductive dehydroxylation of α-ketols is reported. We introduce the unexplored reactivity of proline and, for the first time, reveal its ability to function as a reducing agent. The developed metal-free and open-flask operation generally results in good yields. Our protocol allows the challenging selective dehydroxylation of hydroxyketones without affecting other functional groups.

A large family of phosphite-thioether/selenoether ligands has been easily prepared from accessible L-(+)-tartaric acid and D-(+)-mannitol and applied in the M-catalyzed (M=Ir, Rh) asymmetric hydrogenation of a broad number of substrates (46 in total). Its highly modular architecture has been crucial to maximize the catalytic performance. Improving most of the reported approaches, this ligand family presents a broad substrate scope. By selecting the ligand parameters high enantioselectivities (ee's up to 99 %) have therefore been achieved in a broad range of both, functionalized and unfunctionalized substrates. Interestingly, both enantiomers of the hydrogenation products can be usually achieved by changing the ligand parameters.
