A well-defined and very active single-component manganese(II) catalyst system for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones is presented. First, the reaction of 5-(2,4,6-iPr3C6H2)-2-[N-(2,6-iPr2C6H3)formimino]pyrrolyl potassium (KL) and [MnCl2(Py)2] afforded the binuclear 2-iminopyrrolyl manganese(II) pyridine chloride complex [Mn2{κ2N,N′-5-(2,4,6-iPr3C6H2)-NC4H2-2-C(H)═N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)}2(Py)2(μ-Cl)2] 1. Subsequently, the alkylation reaction of complex 1 with LiCH2SiMe3 afforded the respective (trimethylsilyl)methyl-Mn(II) complex [Mn{κ2N,N′-5-(2,4,6-iPr3C6H2)-NC4H2-2-C(H)═N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)}(Py)CH2SiMe3] 2 in a good yield. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, Evans' method, FTIR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. While the crystal structure of complex 1 has been identified as a binuclear entity, in which the Mn(II) centers present pentacoordinate coordination spheres, that of complex 2 corresponds to a monomer with a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Complex 2 proved to be a very active precatalyst for the atom-economic hydrosilylation of several aldehydes and ketones under very mild conditions, with a maximum turnover frequency of 95 min-1, via a silyl-Mn(II) mechanistic route, as asserted by a combination of experimental and theoretical efforts, the respective silanes were cleanly converted to the respective alcoholic products in high yields.

A Diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex has been applied in chemoselective hydrogen transfer reductions. This bifunctional iron complex demonstrated a broad applicability in mild conditions in various reactions, such as reduction of aldehydes over ketones, reductive alkylation of various functionalized amines with functionalized aldehydes and reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding saturated ketones. A broad range of functionalized substrates has been isolated in excellent yields with this practical procedure.

Diethylsilane (Et2SiH2), a simple and readily available dihydrosilane, that exhibits superior reactivity, as compared to monohydrosilanes, in a series of reductive transformations catalyzed by recyclable and reusable Au nanoparticles (1 mol-%) supported on TiO2. It reduces aldehydes or ketones almost instantaneously at ambient conditions. It can be used in a one pot rapid reductive amination procedure, in which premixing of aldehyde and amine is required prior to the addition of the reducing agent and the catalyst, even in a protic solvent. An unprecedented method for the synthesis of N-arylisoindolines is also shown in the reductive amination between o-phthalaldehyde and anilines. In this transformation, it is proposed that the intermediate N,2-diphenylisoindolin-1-imines are reduced stepwise to the isoindolines. Finally, Et2SiH2 readily reduces amides into amines in excellent yields and shorter reaction times relative to previously known analogous nano Au(0)-catalyzed protocols.
