Non-noble metal-based hydrogenation catalysts have limited practical applications because they exhibit low activity, require harsh reaction conditions, and are unstable in air. To overcome these limitations, herein we propose the alloying of non-noble metal nanoparticles with phosphorus as a promising strategy for developing smart catalysts that exhibit both excellent activity and air stability. We synthesized a novel nickel phosphide nanoalloy (nano-Ni2P) with coordinatively unsaturated Ni active sites. Unlike conventional air-unstable non-noble metal catalysts, nano-Ni2P retained its metallic nature in air, and exhibited a high activity for the hydrogenation of various substrates with polar functional groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, and nitroarenes to the desired products in excellent yields in water. Furthermore, the used nano-Ni2P catalyst was easy to handle in air and could be reused without pretreatment, providing a simple and clean catalyst system for general hydrogenation reactions.
Reduction of carbonyl compounds via hydrosilylation catalyzed by well-defined PNP-Mn(I) hydride complexes

Reduction reactions of unsaturated compounds are fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry. In this context, the reduction of polarized double bonds such as carbonyl or C=C motifs can be achieved by hydrogenation reactions. We describe here a highly chemoselective Mn(I)-based PNP pincer catalyst for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones employing polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as inexpensive hydrogen donor.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts
Oestreich, Martin,Seliger, Jan

A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

In this paper, several Mn(I) complexes were applied as catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe) (CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under base-free conditions with a catalyst loading of 3 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar. A temperature-dependent selectivity for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls was observed. At room temperature, the carbonyl group was selectively hydrogenated, while the C=C bond stayed intact. At 60 °C, fully saturated systems were obtained. A plausible mechanism based on DFT calculations which involves an inner-sphere hydride transfer is proposed.
Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol
Topf, Christoph,Vielhaber, Thomas
, (2021/07/10)
We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.

We report a strategy to develop heterogeneous single-site enantioselective catalysts based on naturally occurring amino acids and earth-abundant metals for eco-friendly asymmetric catalysis. The grafting of amino acids within the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), followed by post-synthetic metalation with iron precursor, affords highly active and enantioselective (>99 % ee for 10 examples) catalysts for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of carbonyl compounds. Impressively, the MOF-Fe catalyst displayed high turnover numbers of up to 10 000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times without diminishing the enantioselectivity. MOF-Fe displayed much higher activity and enantioselectivity than its homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of robust single-site catalyst in the MOF through site-isolation.

, p. 4429 - 4432 (2020/07/04)
A simple phosphine-free cobalt-NHC pincer complex has been synthesized and utilized for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol as hydrogen donor. A broad range of ketones varying from aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic were effectively reduced to their corresponding alcohols in moderate to excellent yields with good tolerance of functional groups.

The bis(carbonyl) manganese(I) complex [Mn(CO)2(1)]Br (2) with a chiral (NH)2P2 macrocyclic ligand (1) catalyzes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Ketones (43 substrates) are reduced to alcohols in high yields (up to >99 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (90–99 % ee). A stereochemical model based on attractive CH–π interactions is proposed.

Imidazol-2-ylidene (ImNHC) and 1,2,3-Traizol-5-ylidene (tzNHC) have been established as important classes of carbene ligands in homogeneous catalysis. To develop Ru(II)/Ir(III) complexes based on these ligand systems considering their electronic as well as steric profiles for hydride transfer reactions, we employed chelating ligands featuring combinations of ImNHC and triazole-N or mesoionic tzNHC donors bridged by a CH2 spacer with possible modifications at triazole backbone. In general, synthesized Ru(II) complexes were found to perform significantly better than analogous Ir(III) complexes in ketone and aldimine reduction. Among the Ru(II) complexes, electron-rich complexes 8/9 of the general formula [(p-cymene)(ImNHC-CH2-TzNHC)RuII(Cl)]BF4 with two different carbene donors (ImNHC and tzNHC) were found to perform appreciably better in ketone reduction than analogous complexes with a combination of ImNHC and triazole-N-donor ([(p-cymene)(ImNHC-CH2-Tz-N)RuII(Cl)]BF4; 4) explaining the electronic fine-Tuning of the catalytic systems. No appreciable variation in activity was observed between complexes 8 and 9 having almost similar electronic profiles. However, less bulky Ru(II) complex 9 with a triazole N-phenyl substituent is more suitable for aldimine reduction than is complex 8, having a triazole N-3,5-dimethylphenyl substituent that explains the steric influence in addition to electronic effect on the reduction process.

Deprotonation of the MnI NHC-phosphine complex fac-[MnBr(CO)3(κ2P,C-Ph2PCH2NHC)] (2) under a H2 atmosphere readily gives the hydride fac-[MnH(CO)3(κ2P,C-Ph2PCH2NHC)] (3) via the intermediacy of the highly reactive 18-e NHC-phosphinomethanide complex fac-[Mn(CO)3(κ3P,C,C-Ph2PCHNHC)] (6 a). DFT calculations revealed that the preferred reaction mechanism involves the unsaturated 16-e mangana-substituted phosphonium ylide complex fac-[Mn(CO)3(κ2P,C-Ph2P=CHNHC)] (6 b) as key intermediate able to activate H2 via a non-classical mode of metal-ligand cooperation implying a formal λ5-P–λ3-P phosphorus valence change. Complex 2 is shown to be one of the most efficient pre-catalysts for ketone hydrogenation in the MnI series reported to date (TON up to 6200).
