3-BocNH-ABNO-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure

A transition-metal-free catalytic system has been developed for selective transformation of alcohol to aldehydes or ketones. The reactions were performed with 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane N-oxyl (3-BocNH-ABNO) as the catalyst, NaNO2 as the co-catalyst, molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant, and AcOH as the solvent under room temperature. This catalytic system exhibited broad functional group tolerance. A series of alcohol substrates, including primary and secondary benzylic alcohols, heteroaromatic analogues, primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols, could be converted into their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good conversions and selectivities.

Highly practical and efficient preparation of aldehydes and ketones from aerobic oxidation of alcohols with an inorganic-ligand supported iodine catalyst

Herein, we divulge an efficient protocol for aerobic oxidation of alcohols with an inorganic-ligand supported iodine catalyst, (NH4)5[IMo6O24]. The catalyst system is compatible with a wide range of groups and exhibits high selectivity, and shows excellent stability and reusability, thus serving as a potentially greener alternative to the classical transformations.

Efficient aerobic oxidation of secondary alcohols at ambient temperature with an ABNO/NOx catalyst system

New highly practical methods are presented for aerobic oxidation of secondary alcohols with a nitroxyl radical in combination with HNO3, NaNO2, or both as cocatalysts. Diverse nitroxyls are compared, including several novel bicyclic derivatives. Catalyst systems with the readily available nitroxyls, 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-N-oxyl (ABNO) and 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one-N-oxyl (keto-ABNO), are optimized in acetic acid or acetonitrile as the solvent. The reactions are compatible with substrates bearing diverse functional groups and proceed efficiently under mild conditions at ambient pressure and temperature.

Mutation of cysteine-295 to alanine in secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus affects the enantioselectivity and substrate specificity of ketone reductions

The mutation of Cys-295 to alanine in Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus secondary alcohol dehycrogenase (SADH) was performed to give C295A SADH, on the basis of molecular modeling studies utilizing the X-ray crystal structure coordinates of the highly homologous T. brockii secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (YKF.PDB). This mutant SADH has activity for 2-propanol comparable to wild-type SADH. However, the C295A mutation was found to cause a significant shift of enantioselectivity toward the (S)-configuration in the reduction of some ethynylketones to the corresponding chiral propargyl alcohols. This result confirms our prediction that Cys-295 is part of a small alkyl group binding pocket whose size determines the binding orientation of ketone substrates, and, hence, the stereochemical configuration of the product alcohol. Furthermore, C295A SADH has much higher actifity towards t-butyl and some α-branched ketones than does wild-type SADH. The C295A mutation does not affect the thioester reductase activity of SADH. The broader substrate specificity and altered stereoselectivity for C295A SADH make it a potentially useful tool for asymmetric reductions. Copyright

Asymmetric reduction of ethynyl ketones and ethynylketoesters by secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus

Secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH) from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus, an NADP-dependent, thermostable oxidoreductase, reduces ethynyl ketones and ethynylketoesters enantioselectively to the corresponding propargyl (propargyl = prop-2-ynyl) alcohols. Ethynyl ketones, in general, are reduced with moderate enantioselectivity (with the exception of 4-methylpent-l-yn-3-one, which gives the (S)-alcohol with >98% ee). Although ethynyl ketones bearing a small (up to n-propyl) alkyl substituent are reduced to (S)-alcohols, larger ethynyl ketones give (R)-alcohols. In contrast, ethynylketoesters are converted to (R)-ethynylhydroxyesters of excellent optical purity. Unexpectedly, isopropyl ethynylketoesters give higher chemical yields and higher enantioselectivities of ethynylhydroxyesters than methyl or ethyl ethynylketoesters. The optically pure ethynylhydroxyesters may serve as useful chiral building blocks for asymmetric synthesis.
