Room temperature iron catalyzed transfer hydrogenation usingn-butanol and poly(methylhydrosiloxane)

Reduction of carbon-carbon double bonds is reported using a three-coordinate iron(ii) β-diketiminate pre-catalyst. The reaction is believed to proceedviaa formal transfer hydrogenation using poly(methylhydrosiloxane), PMHS, as the hydride donor and a bio-alcohol as the proton source. The reaction proceeds well usingn-butanol and ethanol, withn-butanol being used for substrate scoping studies. Allyl arene substrates, styrenes and aliphatic substrates all undergo reduction at room temperature. Unfortunately, clean transfer of a deuterium atom usingd-alcohol does not take place, indicating a complex catalytic mechanism. However, changing the deuterium source tod-aniline gives close to complete regioselectivity for mono-deuteration of the terminal position of the double bond. Finally, we demonstrate that efficient dehydrocoupling of alcohol and PMHS can be undertaken using the same pre-catalyst, giving high yields of H2within 30 minutes at room temperature.

Iron-catalyzed olefin hydrogenation at 1 bar H2 with a FeCl3-LiAlH4 catalyst

The scope and mechanism of a practical protocol for the iron-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes at 1 bar H2 pressure were studied. The catalyst is formed from cheap chemicals (5 mol% FeCl3-LiAlH4, THF). A homogeneous mechanism operates at early stages of the reaction while active nanoparticles form upon ageing of the catalyst solution. This journal is

Design and performance of supported Lewis acid catalysts derived from metal contaminated biomass for Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation

The main goal of this work was to prove the interest of metal hyperaccumulator plants in supported Lewis acid catalysis. Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reveal the great catalytic activity of different plant extracts. This approach is a green solution with chemical benefits including high yield, excellent regioselectivity, small amounts of catalyst, mild conditions and concrete perspectives towards the depletion of mineral resources. The results also constitute an incentive for the development of phytoextraction programs on metal-bearing soils.
