Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of carbonyl groups is a synthetically useful and widely applied organic transformation. Sustainable chemistry goals require replacing conventional noble transition metal catalysts for hydrogenation by earth-abundant base metals. Herein, we report how a practical in situ catalytic system generated by easily available pincer NHC precursors, CoCl2, and a base enabled efficient and high-yielding hydrogenation of a broad range of ketones and aldehydes (over 50 examples and a maximum turnover number [TON] of 2,610). This is the first example of NHC-Co-catalyzed hydrogenation of C=O bonds using flexible pincer NHC ligands consisting of a N-H substructure. Diastereodivergent hydrogenation of substituted cyclohexanone derivatives was also realized by fine-tuning of the steric bulk of pincer NHC ligands. Additionally, a bis(NHCs)-Co complex was successfully isolated and fully characterized, and it exhibits excellent catalytic activity that equals that of the in-situ-formed catalytic system. Catalytic hydrogenation is a powerful tool for the reduction of organic compounds in both fine and bulk chemical industries. To improve sustainability, more ecofriendly, inexpensive, and earth-abundant base metals should be employed to replace the precious metals that currently dominate the development of hydrogenation catalysts. However, the majority of the base-metal catalysts that have been reported involve expensive, complex, and often air- and moisture-sensitive phosphine ligands, impeding their widespread application. From a mixture of the stable CoCl2, imidazole salts, and a base, our newly developed catalytic system that formed easily in situ enables efficient and stereoselective hydrogenation of C=O bonds. We anticipate that this easily accessible catalytic system will create opportunities for the design of practical base-metal hydrogenation catalysts. A practical in situ catalytic system generated by a mixture of easily available pincer NHC precursors, CoCl2, and a base enabled highly efficient hydrogenation of a broad range of ketones and aldehydes (over 50 examples and up to a turnover number [TON] of 2,610). Diastereodivergent hydrogenation of substituted cyclohexanone derivatives was also realized in high selectivities. Moreover, the preparation of a well-defined bis(NHCs)-Co complex via this pincer NHC ligand consisting of a N-H substructure was successful, and it exhibits equally excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds.

This work presented the synthesis and characterization of new ionic liquid-coordinating ruthenium complexes. The resulting ruthenium complexes exhibited not only excellent thermoregulated phase-separation behavior but also highly catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for the asymmetric hydrogenation with molecular hydrogen. The thermoregulated ionic liquid catalyst was highly resistant to leaching and was recycled consecutively for six times without significant loss of catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. The presence of Ru–H species revealed that NH and a Ru–H unit, involved in the hydride transfer process, were of great importance in the present catalytic system.

A set of iridium(I) and iridium(III) complexes is reported with triazolylidene ligands that contain pendant benzoxazole, thiazole, and methyl ether groups as potentially chelating donor sites. The bonding mode of these groups was identified by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors in transfer hydrogenation and in acceptorless alcohol oxidation. High-valent iridium(III) complexes were identified as the most active precursors for the oxidative alcohol dehydrogenation, while a low-valent iridium(I) complex with a methyl ether functionality was most active in reductive transfer hydrogenation. This catalyst precursor is highly versatile and efficiently hydrogenates ketones, aldehydes, imines, allylic alcohols, and most notably also unpolarized olefins, a notoriously difficult substrate for transfer hydrogenation. Turnover frequencies up to 260 h-1 were recorded for olefin hydrogenation, whereas hydrogen transfer to ketones and aldehydes reached maximum turnover frequencies greater than 2000 h-1. Mechanistic investigations using a combination of isotope labeling experiments, kinetic isotope effect measurements, and Hammett parameter correlations indicate that the turnover-limiting step is hydride transfer from the metal to the substrate in transfer hydrogenation, while in alcohol dehydrogenation, the limiting step is substrate coordination to the metal center.

A bis-cyclometalated iridium(iii) complex with metal-centered chirality catalyzes the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with high enantioselectivities at low catalyst loadings down to 0.002 mol%. Importantly, the rate of catalysis and enantioselectivity are markedly improved in the presence of a pyrazole co-ligand. The reaction is proposed to proceed via an iridium-hydride intermediate exploiting metal-ligand cooperativity (bifunctional catalysis).

In this article, the design and synthesis of the chiral camphor derived γ-amino thiol ligand 17 and its application in catalytic enantioselective carbon-carbon forming reactions through the addition of organozinc reagents to carbonyl compounds is described. The catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of ligand 17 is demonstrated in the enantioselective addition of various organozinc reagents to aldehydes and ketoesters, offering the corresponding alcohols in high yields and enantioselectivities. The role of the mercapto group in the highly enantioselective 1,2-addition reaction of organozincs to aldehyde is also discussed.

A modular ligand library of α-amino acid hydroxyamides and thioamides was prepared from 10 different N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-protected α-amino acids and three different amino alcohols derived from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-d-mannofuranoside. The ligand library was evaluated in the half-sandwich ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a wide array of ketone substrates, including simple as well as sterically demanding aryl alkyl ketones, aryl fluoroalkyl ketones, heteroaromatic alkyl ketones, aliphatic, conjugated and propargylic ketones. Under the optimized reaction conditions, secondary alcohols were obtained in high yields and in enantioselectivities up to >99%. The choice of ligand/catalyst allowed for the generation of both enantiomers of the secondary alcohols, where the ruthenium-hydroxyamide and the rhodium-thioamide catalysts act complementarily towards each other. The catalytic systems were also evaluated in the tandem isomerization/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of racemic allylic alcohols to yield enantiomerically enriched saturated secondary alcohols in up to 98% ee. Furthermore, the catalytic tandem α-alkylation/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenones and 3-acetylpyridine with primary alcohols as alkylating and reducing agents was studied. Secondary alcohols containing an elongated alkyl chain were obtained in up to 92% ee. (Figure presented.).

[Ru(acac)2(CH3CN)2] was synthesized from [Ru(acac)3] by refluxing it with zinc powder in ethanol-acetonitrile mixture. The prepared catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR techniques. The silica supported catalyst ('SiO 2'-NH2-RuII) was prepared by stirring [Ru(acac)2(CH3CN)2] with 'SiO 2'-NH2 in a 1:1 mixture of CH2Cl 2-toluene for 3 days at room temperature. It was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, solid state NMR, ICP and BET surface area methods. The transfer hydrogenation reaction of carbonyl compounds was carried out separately using [Ru(acac)2(CH3CN)2] and 'SiO 2'-NH2-RuII as catalysts. The reaction conditions were optimized with different solvents, bases, catalyst amounts and temperatures using acetophenone as a model system. The scope of the reaction was extended to various substituted aryl ketones including heteroaryl ketones. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

A versatile route for the conversion of ferulic acid into biologically relevant molecules is presented. The compatibility of a number of protection and activation strategies with the 1,2-addition of a variety of O-, N-, S-, and C-nucleophiles to ferulic acid is evaluated. In particular, this report contains the first systematic study of the addition of (hetero)aryllithium reagents to 3-phenylpropenoyl Weinreb amides. The relevance of this "bioinspired" method is illustrated by the synthesis of a number of natural products or analogues, such as zingerone, curcuminoids, and (heteroaryl) chalcones. Feruloylbenzotriazole and Weinreb amide were converted into an array of biologically relevant molecules by addition of O-, N-, S-, and C-nucleophiles. The relevance of this bioinspired approach is illustrated by the synthesis of a number of natural products or analogues, such as zingerone, (heteroaryl) chalcones, and curcuminoids. Copyright

An effective catalytic system that imparts high enantioselectivity has been disclosed for the synthesis of optically active alcohols, which may undergo further chemical transformations. The enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes with dialkylzincs to afford the corresponding optically active alcohols with excellent enantioselectvities has been achieved in the presence of 0.1-0.5 mol % of the camphor-derived chiral ligand (-)-2-exo-morpholinoisobornane-10-thiol (MITH) (1) at room temperature or at 0 °C. I zinc so too: The enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes with dialkylzincs yielded the desired alcohol products with up to 99 % ee in the presence of 0.1-0.5 mol % of ligand (-)-2-exo-morpholinoisoborne-10-thiol (1) at room temperature or at 0°C.
