Chitosan is an abundant and renewable chirality source of natural origin. The effect of the preparation conditions by alkaline hydrolysis of chitin on the properties of chitosan was studied. The materials obtained were used as ligands in the ruthenium-catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic prochiral ketones and oxidative kinetic resolution of benzylic alcohols as well as organocatalysts in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to N-substituted maleimides. The degrees of deacetylation of the prepared materials were determined by 1H NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, the molecular weights by viscosity measurements, their crystallinity by WAXRD, and their morphology by SEM and TEM investigations. The materials were also characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The biopolymers which have molecular weights in a narrow (200-230 kDa) range and appropriate (80-95%) degrees of deacetylation were the most efficient ligands in the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation, whereas in the oxidative kinetic resolution the activity of the complexes and the stereoselectivity increased with the degree of deacetylation. The chirality of the chitosan was sufficient to obtain enantioselection in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to maleimides in the aqueous phase. Interestingly, the biopolymer afforded the opposite enantiomer in excess compared to the monomer, d-glucosamine. In this reaction, good correlation between the degree of deacetylation and the catalytic activity was found. These results are novel steps in the application of this natural, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer in developing environmentally benign methods for the production of optically pure fine chemicals.

In ample variety of transformations, the presence of silver as an additive or co-catalyst is believed to be innocuous for the efficiency of the operating metal catalyst. Even though Ag additives are required often as coupling partners, oxidants or halide scavengers, its role as a catalytically competent species is widely neglected in cross-coupling reactions. Most likely, this is due to the erroneously assumed incapacity of Ag to undergo 2e? redox steps. Definite proof is herein provided for the required elementary steps to accomplish the oxidative trifluoromethylation of arenes through AgI/AgIII redox catalysis (i. e. CEL coupling), namely: i) easy AgI/AgIII 2e? oxidation mediated by air; ii) bpy/phen ligation to AgIII; iii) boron-to-AgIII aryl transfer; and iv) ulterior reductive elimination of benzotrifluorides from an [aryl-AgIII-CF3] fragment. More precisely, an ultimate entry and full characterization of organosilver(III) compounds [K]+[AgIII(CF3)4]? (K-1), [(bpy)AgIII(CF3)3] (2) and [(phen)AgIII(CF3)3] (3), is described. The utility of 3 in cross-coupling has been showcased unambiguously, and a large variety of arylboron compounds was trifluoromethylated via [AgIII(aryl)(CF3)3]? intermediates. This work breaks with old stereotypes and misconceptions regarding the inability of Ag to undergo cross-coupling by itself.

Herein, a practical and sustainable method for the synthesis of aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from an inexpensive olefinic feedstock is described. This transformation features very sustainable and mild conditions and utilizes commercially available and inexpensive tetrahydrofuran as the additive, molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and water as the solvent. A wide range of substituted alkenes were found to be compatible, providing the corresponding carbonyl compounds in moderate-to-good yields. The control experiments demonstrated that a radical mechanism is responsible for the oxidation reaction.

Treatment of thioacetals and thioketals with iodosobenzene in anhydrous DCM conveniently afforded the corresponding carbonyl compounds in high yields under water-free conditions. The mechanistic studies indicate that this dethioacetalization/dethioketalization process does not need water and the oxygen of the carbonyl products comes from the hypervalent iodine reagent.

In many metal catalyses, the traditional strategy of removing chloride ions is to add silver salts via anion exchange to obtain highly active catalysts. Herein, we reported an alternative strategy of removing chloride anions from ruthenium trichloride using an organic [P+-N-] zwitterionic compound via multiple hydrogen bond interactions. The resultant organic-metal hybrid catalytic system has successfully been applied to the aerobic oxidation of alcohols, tetrahydroquinolines, and indolines under mild conditions. The performance of zwitterion is far superior to that of many other common Lewis bases or Br?nsted bases. Mechanistic studies revealed that the zwitterion triggers the dissociation of chloride from ruthenium trichloride via nonclassical hydrogen bond interaction. Preliminary studies show that the zwitterion is applicable to catalytic transfer semi-hydrogenation.

A manganese/copper co-catalyzed electrochemical Wacker-Tsuji-type oxidation of aryl-substituted alkenes has been developed. The process involves the use of 5 mol % MnBr2 and 7.5 mol % CuCl2, in 4:1 acetonitrile/water in an undivided cell at 60 °C, with 2.8 V constant applied potential. α-Aryl ketones are formed in moderate to excellent yields, with the advantages of avoidance of palladium as a catalyst and any external chemical oxidant in an easily operated, cost-effective procedure.

A convenient methodology for perfluoroalkylation including trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes with perfluoroalkyl bromides was developed. Key for the success is the use of a specific cobalt-based nanocatalyst, which can be recycled at least up to 4 times. The scope of this first cobalt-catalyzed perfluoroalkylation is presented and detailed catalyst characterization (e.g. analytical STEM, XPS, and XRD) has been carried out.

Alkylarylalkynes are converted with full regioselectivity into the corresponding arylketones by formal hydration of the triple bond under weak acidic conditions, at times and temperatures (≤95 °C) comparable to those used for terminal alkynes. The process catalyzed by Fe2(SO4)3nH2O in glacial acetic acid exhibits good functional group compatibility, including that with bulky triple bond substituents, and can be extended to the one-pot transformation of aryltrimethylsilylacetylenes into acetyl derivatives via a desilylation-hydration sequence. The overall reactivity pattern along with proton affinity data indicate that the triple bond is activated by proton transfer rather than by π-interaction with the metal ion. This mechanistic feature, at variance with that of noble metal catalysts, accounts for the total regioselectivity and the insensitivity to steric hindrance exhibited by the Fe2(SO4)3nH2O/AcOH catalytic system.

Paragraph 0039-0046, (2019/07/18)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a 3'-trifluoromethyl group-substituted aromatic ketone that uses an inexpensive and easily available raw material and is industrially excellent with high production efficiency. SOLUTION: A 3-halogen-substituted benzotrifluoride compound is reacted with a magnesium metal in the presence of a lithium chloride of 1.0 mol or more times higher than the 3-halogen-substituted benzotrifluoride compound, to convert it to a Grignard reagent, and the Grignard reagent is reacted with an acid anhydride at a reaction temperature of 0°C or less and then hydrolyzed, thereby producing 3'-trifluoromethyl group-substituted aromatic ketone.

Herein, we present the efficient isomerization of epoxides into methyl ketones with a novel pincer-rhodium complex under very mild conditions. The catalyst system has an excellent functional group tolerance and a wide array of epoxides was tested. The corresponding methyl ketones were obtained in very high yields with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. In addition, we investigated mechanistic details like the isomerization of the catalyst, and we obtained evidence that the catalytic cycle follows a β-hydride elimination-reductive elimination pathway after the nucleophilic ring opening of the epoxide.
