A concise asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of diaryl ketones, promoted by bifunctional Ru complexes with an etherial linkage between 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN) and η6-arene ligands, was successfully developed. Because of the effective discrimination of substituents at the ortho position on the aryl group, unsymmetrical benzophenones were smoothly reduced in a 5:2 mixture of formic acid and triethylamine with an unprecedented level of excellent enantioselectivity. For the non-ortho-substituted benzophenones, the oxo-tethered catalyst electronically discerned biased substrates, resulting in attractive performance yielding chiral diarylmethanols with >99% ee.

Benzophenones, 2-benzoylthiophenes, 2-benzoylpyrroles, and 2-benzoylfurans, which have substituents at m- and p-positions of the benzoyl ring were prepared and their ir and nmr spectra were obtained in 0.1 M chloroform-d solution. The chemical shift values of each series were plotted against the Hammett substituent parameters to give good correlation, with the exception of the ortho-Hs and -Cs. The slopes as well as the differences in chemical shift gave sets of meaningful values for the indices of aromaticy.

A method has been developed which allows for the large scale preparation of biarylmethanes.This method involves the initial formation of biarylmethanols via reaction of aryl Grignards with carbonyl compounds followed by a subsequent reduction with iodotrimethylsilane (TMSI).A number of improvements over existing literature procedures are reported as well as previously unobserved dimerizations.Studies reveal that as few as 3 equiv of TMSI will give complete reduction in most cases where either of the substituents are not heteroaromatic.Mono-substituted alkanols react with TMSI to afford the corresponding iodides.A mechanistic study of the TMSI reduction is also reported.
