Novel Ru(II) complex-based hybrid inorganic-organic materials immobilized via a diamine co-ligand site instead of the conventional diphosphine ligand have been prepared. The complexes were prepared by two different methods: sol-gel and surface modification techniques. The structures of the desired materials were deduced by several available physical measurements like elemental analyses, infrared, FAB-MS and 1H-, 13Cand 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Due to a lack of solubility the structures of xerogel 3 and modified 4 were studied by solid state 13C-, 29Si- and 31P-NMR spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and EXAFS. These materials were stable enough to serve as hydrogenation catalysts. Selective hydrogenation of functionalized carbonyls in α,β-unsaturated compounds was successfully carried out under mild conditions in a basic medium using these complexes as catalysts.

The photoinduced chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated carbonyls to allylic alcohols has been accomplished using cluster-based MOFs as bifunctional visible photocatalysts. Assemblies of hexanuclear clusters [Cu6(dmpymt)6] (1, Hdmpymt = 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2-thione) as metalloligands with CuI or (Ph3P)CuI yielded cluster-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) {[Cu6(dmpymt)6]2[Cu2(μ-I)2]4(CuI)2}n (2), {[Cu6(dmpymt)6]2[Cu2(μ-I)2]4}n (3), respectively. Nanoparticles (NPs) of 2 and 3 served both as photosensitizers and photocatalysts for the highly chemoselective reduction of unsaturated carbonyl compounds to unsaturated alcohols with high catalytic activity under blue LED irradiation. The photocatalytic system could be reused for several cycles without any obvious loss of efficiency.

Systematic evaluation of 1,5-dienes bearing 3,3-electron-withdrawing groups and 4-methylation results in the discovery of a Cope rearrangement for Meldrum's acid-containing substrates that have unexpectedly favorable kinetic and thermodynamic profiles. The protocol is quite general due to a concise and convergent synthesis from abundant starting materials. Furthermore, products with an embedded Meldrum's acid moiety are prepared, which, in turn, can yield complex amides under neutral conditions. We have now expanded the scope of the reductive Cope rearrangement, which, via chemoselective reduction, can promote thermodynamically unfavorable [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements of 3,3-dicyano-1,5-dienes to form reduced Cope rearrangement products. The Cope rearrangement is found to be stereospecific and can yield enantioenriched building blocks when chiral, nonracemic 1,3-disubstituted allylic electrophiles are utilized. We expand further the use of Cope rearrangements for the synthesis of highly valuable building blocks for complex- and drug-like molecular synthesis.

A sequential two-step chemoenzymatic methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of (3E)-4-(het)arylbut-3-en-2-amines in a highly selective manner and under mild reaction conditions is described. The approach consists of oxidation of the corresponding racemic alcohol precursors by the use of a catalytic system made up of the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO, followed by the asymmetric reductive bio-transamination of the corresponding ketone intermediates. Optimisation of the oxidation reaction, exhaustive amine transaminase screening for the bio-transaminations and the compatibility of the two enzymatic reactions were studied in depth in search of a design of a compatible sequential cascade. This synthetic strategy was successful and the combinations of enzymes displayed a broad substrate scope, with 16 chiral amines being obtained in moderate to good isolated yields (29–75 %) and with excellent enantiomeric excess values (94 to >99 %). Interestingly, both amine enantiomers can be achieved, depending on the selectivity of the amine transaminase employed in the system.
One-pot two-step chemoenzymatic deracemization of allylic alcohols using laccases and alcohol dehydrogenases

A series of enantioenriched (hetero)aromatic secondary allylic alcohols has been synthesized through deracemization of the corresponding racemic mixtures combining a non-selective chemoenzymatic oxidation (laccase from Trametes versicolor and oxy-radical TEMPO) and a stereoselective biocatalyzed reduction (lyophilized cells of E. coli overexpressing an alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH). Both steps were performed in aqueous medium under very mild reaction conditions. After optimization, a sequential one-pot two-step protocol was set up, obtaining the corresponding chiral alcohols in moderate to high conversions (48–95%) and enantiomeric excess (65->99% ee). Depending on the ADH stereopreference, both antipodes from these valuable chiral synthons could be prepared, even at preparative scale (119?178 mg), in a straightforward manner.

A series of ruthenium [NNN]- or [NCN]-type complexes (3–7) bearing PPh3 ancillary ligands have been synthesized from pyridine- or phenylene-bridged bis(triazoles) 1 and 2. In the case of [NNN]-pincer complex 3, an unusual and unexpected cis-orientation adopted by two sterically demanding PPh3 ligands was observed, and such configuration proved to be unchanged in solution for a long time. By contrast and as expected, the two phosphines are found to be trans to each other in the case of [NCN]-type pincer complex 4, but an oxidation of RuII center to RuIII occurred. Complex cis-3 underwent ligand exchanges leading to the formations of diphosphine derivatives 5 and 6. As a representative, cis-3 was treated with the base in isopropanol affording a mixture of Ru–hydrido complexes with various phosphine binding modes, one of which (trans-7) bearing two trans-standing phosphines has been successfully isolated and fully characterized. The catalytic performances of all newly synthesized Ru complexes have been examined and compared in transfer hydrogenations of ketones and enones, in which mono-phosphine complexes proved to be significantly superior to their diphosphine counterparts. The catalytic process proved to involve Ru–H key intermediates, but the trans-oriented Ru–H species is unlikely to be the main catalytic contributor. In particular, the best performer cis-3 exhibits high chemoselectivity in certain cases catalyzing α,β-unsaturated ketones, whose behavior is quite different compared to most precedents.

The oxidation of allylic alcohols is challenging to perform in a chemo- as well as stereo-selective fashion at the expense of molecular oxygen using conventional chemical protocols. Here, we report the identification of a library of flavin-dependent oxidases including variants of the berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) analogue from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtBBE15) and the 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural oxidase (HMFO) and its variants (V465T, V465S, V465T/W466H and V367R/W466F) for the enantioselective oxidation of sec-allylic alcohols. While primary and benzylic alcohols as well as certain sugars are well known to be transformed by flavin-dependent oxidases, sec-allylic alcohols have not been studied yet except in a single report. The model substrates investigated were oxidized enantioselectively in a kinetic resolution with an E-value of up to >200. For instance HMFO V465S/T oxidized the (S)-enantiomer of (E)-oct-3-en-2-ol (1 a) and (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol with E>200 giving the remaining (R)-alcohol with ee>99% at 50% conversion. The enantioselectivity could be decreased if required by medium engineering by the addition of cosolvents (e. g. dimethyl sulfoxide).

The chemoselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones by use of an economic and readily available Mg catalyst has been developed. Excellent yields for a wide range of ketones have been achieved under mild reaction conditions, short times, and low catalyst loadings (0.2-0.5 mol %).
Enzymatic cascades for the stereo-complementary epimerisation of in situ generated epoxy alcohols
Liu, Yu-Chang,Guo, Chao,Liu, Yan,Wang, Hai-Bo,Wu, Zhong-Liu
, p. 2562 - 2568 (2017/04/03)
The synthesis of optically pure secondary epoxy alcohols from racemic allylic alcohols using a single whole-cell biocatalyst of recombinant Escherichia coli coexpressing three oxidoreductases is described. The cascade involves the concurrent action of a styrene monooxygenase that catalyzes the formation of the chiral epoxy group, and two alcohol dehydrogenases that fulfil the epimerisation of the hydroxy group. Two sets of alcohol dehydrogenases were each applied to couple with styrene monooxygenase in order to realize the epimerisation in a stereo-complementary manner. Excellent enantio- and diastereo-selectivities were achieved for most of the 12 substrates.

A silver catalyzed decarboxylative C(sp2)-C(sp3) coupling of vinylic carboxylic acids with alcohols, alkylbenzenes, cycloalkanes and cyclic ethers was developed by using DTBP as an oxidant. This reaction tolerates a wide range of substrates, and products are obtained in good to excellent yields. The reaction also shows good stereoselectivity, and only trans-isomers are obtained. In addition, a radical pathway would be involved to facilitate this decarboxylative C(sp2)-C(sp3) coupling reaction.
