The substitution of high-price noble metals such as Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd, and Pt by earth-abundant, inexpensive metals like Co is an attractive goal in (homogeneous) catalysis. Only two examples of Co catalysts, showing efficient C=O bond hydrogenation rates, are described. Here, we report on a novel, easy-to-synthesize Co catalyst family. Catalyst activation takes place via addition of 2 equiv of a metal base to the cobalt dichlorido precatalysts. Aldehydes and ketones of different types (dialkyl, aryl-alkyl, diaryl) are hydrogenated quantitatively under mild conditions partially with catalyst loadings as low as 0.25 mol%. A comparison of the most active Co catalyst with an Ir catalyst stabilized by the same ligand indicates the superiority of Co. Unique selectivity toward C=O bonds in the presence of C=C bonds has been observed. This selectivity is opposite to that of existing Co catalysts and surprising because of the directing influence of a hydroxyl group in C=C bond hydrogenation.

A short (10 step) and efficient (15% overall yield) synthesis of the natural product (-)-(3R)-inthomycin C is reported. The key steps comprise three C-C bond-forming reactions: (i) a vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol, (ii) an olefin cross-metathesis reaction, and (iii) an asymmetric Mukaiyama-Kiyooka aldol. This route is notable for its brevity and has the advantage of lacking stoichiometric tin-promoted cross-coupling reactions present in previous approaches. Initial investigations on the biological activity of (-)-(3R)-inthomycin C and structural analogues on human cancer cell lines are also described for the first time.

Decoration of noble metals with transition-metal oxides has been intensively studied for heterogeneous catalysis. However, controllable syntheses of metal-metal oxide heterostructures are difficult, and elucidation of such interfaces is still challenging. In this work, supported IrCo alloy nanoparticles are transformed into supported Ir-CoOx close-contact nanostructures by in situ calcination and following selective reduction. Relative to Ir/Al2O3, Ir-CoOx/Al2O3 shows greatly enhanced activities for the hydrogenation of furfural derivatives to the corresponding furfuryl alcohol derivatives with more than 99% selectivity and demonstrates significantly improved activities and selectivity for hydrogenations of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to α,β-unsaturated alcohols. The modification of Ir surfaces with CoOx prevents Ir nanoparticles from growing, achieving high thermal and catalytic stabilities. Theoretic calculation suggests that the better catalytic performance of Ir-CoOx/Al2O3 is ascribed to the Ir-CoOx interaction, which promotes the absorption of furfural as well as desorption of furfuryl alcohol, resulting in enhanced catalytic activities.

Currently, developing simple and effective catalysts for selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols is challenging. Herein, an efficient CoOx-shell/Co-core structured nanoparticle catalyst is synthesized by a facile ultrasonic-assisted carbothermal reduction method. The resultant catalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic performance toward the selective transfer hydrogenation of a wide spectrum of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes into corresponding unsaturated alcohols with over 90 % selectivity. This is the simplest nonprecious metal catalyst to be reported for the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes.

Although the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde to unsaturated alcohol (UOL) is an extremely important transformation, it is still a great challenge to achieve high selectivity to UOL due to thermodynamic favoring of the C[dbnd]C hydrogenation over the C[dbnd]O hydrogenation. Herein, we report that iridium nanoclusters (Ir NCs) confined within hollow MIL-101(Fe) expresses satisfied reaction activity (93.9%) and high selectivity (96.2%) for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to cinnamyl alcohol (COL) under 1 bar H2 atmosphere and room temperature. The unique hollow structure of MIL-101(Fe) benefits for the fast transport of reactant, ensuring the comparable reaction activity and better recyclability of Ir@MIL-101(Fe) than the counterparts which Ir NCs were on the surface of MIL-101(Fe). Furthermore, The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data indicates the electropositive Ir NCs, owing to the electron transfer from Ir to MIL-101(Fe), can interact with oxygen lone pairs, and Fourier transform infrared spectrum shows the Lewis acid sites in MIL-101(Fe) can strongly interact with C[dbnd]O bond, which contributes to a high selectivity for COL. This work suggests the considerable potential of synergetic effect between hollow MOFs and metal nanoclusters for selective hydrogenation reactions.

α-Tertiary amines are a common motif in pharmaceutically important molecules but are challenging to prepare using asymmetric catalysis. Here, we demonstrate engineered flavin-dependent ‘ene'-reductases (EREDs) can catalyze radical additions into oximes to prepare this motif. Two different EREDs were evolved into competent catalysts for this transformation with high levels of stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that the oxime contributes to the enzyme templated charge-transfer complex formed between the substrate and cofactor. These products can be further derivatized to prepare a variety of motifs, highlighting the versatility of ERED photoenzymatic catalysis for organic synthesis.

Radical cascade cyclization reactions are highly attractive synthetic tools for the construction of polycyclic molecules in organic synthesis. While it has been successfully implemented in diastereoselective synthesis of natural products and other complex compounds, radical cascade cyclization faces a major challenge of controlling enantioselectivity. As the first application of metalloradical catalysis (MRC) for controlling enantioselectivity as well as diastereoselectivity in radical cascade cyclization, we herein report the development of a Co(II)-based catalytic system for asymmetric radical bicyclization of 1,6-enynes with diazo compounds. Through the fine-tuning of D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as the supporting ligands, the Co(II)-catalyzed radical cascade process, which proceeds in a single operation under mild conditions, enables asymmetric construction of multisubstituted cyclopropane-fused tetrahydrofurans bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers, including two all-carbon quaternary centers, in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Combined computational and experimental studies have shed light on the underlying stepwise radical mechanism for this new Co(II)-based cascade bicyclization that involves the relay of several Co-supported C-centered radical intermediates, including α-, β-, γ-, and ?-metalloalkyl radicals. The resulting enantioenriched cyclopropane-fused tetrahydrofurans that contain a trisubstituted vinyl group at the bridgehead, as showcased in several stereospecific transformations, may serve as useful intermediates for stereoselective organic synthesis. The successful demonstration of this new asymmetric radical process via Co(II)-MRC points out a potentially general approach for controlling enantioselectivity as well as diastereoselectivity in synthetically attractive radical cascade reactions.
Hf-MOF catalyzed Meerwein?Ponndorf?Verley (MPV) reduction reaction: Insight into reaction mechanism
Lin, Yamei,Bu, Qingxia,Xu, Jiaxian,Liu, Xiao,Zhang, Xueping,Lu, Guo-Ping,Zhou, Baojing
, (2021/01/25)
Hf-MOF-808 exhibits excellent activity and specific selectivity on the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds via a hydrogen transfer strategy. Its superior activity than other Hf-MOFs is attributed to its poor crystallinity, defects and large specific surface area, thereby containing more Lewis acid-base sites which promote this reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) computations are performed to explore the catalytic mechanism. The results indicate that alcohol and ketone fill the defects of Hf-MOF to form a six-membered ring transition state (TS) complex, in which Hf as the center of Lewis stearic acid coordinates with the oxygen of the substrate molecule, thus effectively promoting hydrogen transfer process. Other reactive groups, such as –NO2, C = C, -CN, of inadequate hardness or large steric hindrance are difficult to coordinate with Hf, thus weakening their catalytic effect, which explains the specific selectivity Hf-MOF-808 for reducing the carbonyl group.

A green, efficient, and high active catalytic system for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes to produce corresponding alcohols under atmospheric-pressure H2 gas and ambient temperature conditions was developed by a water-soluble metal–ligand bifunctional catalyst [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] in water without addition of a base. The catalyst exhibited high activity for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes. Furthermore, it was worth noting that many readily reducible or labile functional groups in the same molecule, such as cyan, nitro, and ester groups, remained unchanged. Interestingly, the unsaturated aldehydes can be also selectively hydrogenated to give corresponding unsaturated alcohols with remaining C=C bond in good yields. In addition, this reaction could be extended to gram levels and has a large potential of wide application in future industrial.

Paragraph 0033-0034, (2021/07/14)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing unsaturated primary alcohol in a water phase. The method comprises the following steps: taking unsaturated aldehyde as a raw material, selecting water as a solvent, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation reaction on the unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of a water-soluble catalyst to obtain the unsaturated primary alcohol, wherein the catalyst is a metal iridium complex [Cp * Ir (2, 2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na]. Water is used as the solvent, so that the use of an organic solvent is avoided, and the method is more environment-friendly; the reaction is carried out at relatively low temperature and normal pressure, and the reaction conditions are mild; alkali is not needed in the reaction, so that generation of byproducts is avoided; and the conversion rate of the raw materials is high, and the yield of the obtained product is high. The method not only has academic research value, but also has a certain industrialization prospect.and.
