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.

Tolerant: By using Pd(OAc)2/PCy3 as a catalyst, both electron-rich aromatic heterocycles and electron-deficient fluorobenzenes undergo the dehydrogenative cross-coupling with (hetero)aryl ethyl ketones in good yields. A broad range of functional groups is tolerated, thus providing a general method for the facile syntheses of chalcones or heterocyclic chalcone analogues. Furthermore, dialkyl ketones can also participate in this transformation. Copyright
