We describe the palladium-catalyzed Nazarov-type cyclization of easily accessible (hetero)arylallyl acetates to pentannulated (hetero)arenes. This method provides ready access to various types of bi-, tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic cyclopentanoids under ne

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.

An IrIIICp* complex (2) bearing a triazenide ligand functionalized with pyrazole was synthesized and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and the structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The catalytic activity of 2 and the control complex 3, which lacks of pyrazole in its structure, was evaluated in the reduction of aryl-ketones, alkyl-ketones, α,β-unsaturated and γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. The catalytic system, using either 2 or 3, exhibited good to excellent selectivity when tested with ketones and alkenones at 90 °C in 2-propanol as hydrogen source under base-free conditions. Reactivity of 2 in 2-propanol and NaH gave a neutral metal hydride (4) while in the absence of base gave two major cationic hydrides species (5 and 6).

The synthesis of a new bidentate (NN)–Mn(I) complex is reported and its catalytic activity towards the reduction of ketones and nitriles is studied. On comparing the reactivity of various other Mn(I) complexes supported by benzimidazole ligand, it was observed that the Mn(I) complexes bearing 6-methylpyridine and benzimidazole fragments exhibited the highest catalytic activity towards monohydrosilylation of ketones and dihydrosilylation of nitriles. Using this protocol, a wide range of ketones were selectively reduced to the corresponding silyl ethers. In case of unsaturated ketones, the chemoselective reduction of carbonyl group over olefinic bonds was observed. Additionally, selective dihydrosilylation of several nitriles were also achieved using this complex. Mechanistic investigations with radical scavengers suggested the involvement of radical species during the catalytic reaction. Stoichiometric reaction of the Mn(I) complex with phenylsilane revealed the formation of a new Mn(I) complex.
Chemoselective Electrochemical Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes with a Well-Defined Base-Metal Catalyst
Fokin, Igor,Siewert, Inke
, p. 14137 - 14143 (2020/10/12)
Hydrogenation reactions are fundamental functional group transformations in chemical synthesis. Here, we introduce an electrochemical method for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes by in situ formation of a Mn-H species. We utilise protons and electric current as surrogate for H2 and a base-metal complex to form selectively the alcohols. The method is chemoselective for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds over C=C bonds. Mechanistic studies revealed initial 3 e? reduction of the catalyst forming the steady state species [Mn2(H?1L)(CO)6]?. Subsequently, we assume protonation, reduction and internal proton shift forming the hydride species. Finally, the transfer of the hydride and a proton to the ketone yields the alcohol and the steady state species is regenerated via reduction. The interplay of two manganese centres and the internal proton relay represent the key features for ketone and aldehyde reduction as the respective mononuclear complex and the complex without the proton relay are barely active.

A series of iridium and rhodium complexes have been synthesized using as ligand a triazenide monofunctionalized with an imidazole substituent. Steric hindrance at the imidazole moiety induced differences in the coordination modes as well in the catalytic behavior of complexes 4-7. Complexes 4-7 were tested in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and 5-alken-2-ones. The hydrogenation of either the double bond or the carbonyl group in 5-alken-2-ones, showed to be selective in the presence of 6, 7, and 10 and has a dependence on the presence or absence of base. Control experiments point out that the imidazole moiety in the structure of complexes 4-7 speeds-up the catalysis.

The silver-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones using H2 as hydrogen source is reported. Silver nanoparticles are generated from simple silver (I) salts and operate at 25 °C under 20 bar of hydrogen pressure. Various aliphatic and aromatic ketones, including natural products were reduced into the corresponding alcohols in high yields. This silver catalyst allows for the selective hydrogenation of ketones in the presence of other functional groups. (Figure presented.).

The synthesis and reactivity of Mn(i) complexes bearing bifunctional ligands comprising both the amine N-H and benzimidazole fragments are reported. Among the various ligands, the N-((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)aniline ligand containing Mn(i) complex presented higher reactivity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones in 2-propanol. Experimentally, it was established that both the benzimidazole and amine N-H proton played a vital role in the enhancement of the catalytic activity. Utilizing this system a wide range of aldehydes and ketones were reduced efficiently. Notably, the TH of several imines, as well as chemoselective reduction of unsaturated ketones, was achieved in the presence of this catalyst. DFT calculations were carried out to understand the plausible reaction mechanism which disclosed that the transfer hydrogenation reaction followed a concerted outer-sphere mechanism.

Utilization of hydroxy-substituted bipyridine ligands in transition metal catalysis mimicking [Fe]-hydrogenase has been shown to be a promising approach in developing new catalysts for hydrogenation. For example, MnI complexes with 6,6′-dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine ligand have been previously shown to be active catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. In this work, simple bipyridine-based Mn catalysts were developed that act as active catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones, aldehydes and imines. For the first time, Mn-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of N-heterocycles was reported. The highest catalytic activity among complexes with variously substituted ligands was observed for the complex bearing two OH groups in bipyridine. Deuterium labeling experiments suggest a monohydride pathway.

The preparation of a new series of dihydridoboranes supported by N,N-chelating ligands, [R2NCH2CH2NAr]- (R = alkyl, Ar = aryl), is reported. These new boranes react selectively with carbonyls, imines, and a series of electron-deficient fluoroarenes. The reactivity is complementary to recognized reagents such as pinacolborane, catecholborane, NHC-BH3, and borane (BH3) itself. Selectivities are rationalized by invoking both open- A nd closed-chain forms of the reagents as part of equilibrium mixtures.
