, p. 855 - 856 (1994)
In the presence of a catalytic amount of LiBH4, BH3 in THF selectively reduced the carbonyl group of conjugated and unconjugated alkenones at -50 deg C to quantitatively provide the corresponding alkenols on subsequent hydrolysis.

The chiral synthons (S-)-1-phenyl-N-(pyridine-2-yl)ethylidine)ethanamine (L1), (R-)-1phenyl-N-(pyridine-2-yl)ethylidine))ethanamine (L2) (S)-1-phenyl-N-(pyridine-2-yl methylene) ethanamine (L3), and (R)-1-phenyl-N-(pyridine-2-yl methylene) ethanamine (L4) were synthesized in good yields. Treatments of L1-L4 with NiBr2(DME) and NiCl2 precursor afforded dinuclear complexes [Ni2(L1)4-μ-Br2]NiBr4 (Ni1), [Ni2(L2)4-μ-Br2]NiBr4 (Ni2), [Ni2(L3)4-μBr2]Br2 (Ni3), [Ni2(L4)4-μ-Br2]NiBr4 (Ni4) and [Ni(L4)2Cl2] (Ni5). The identities of the compounds were established using NMR, FT-IR and EPR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, magnetic moments, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The dinuclear dibromide nickel complexes dissociate into mononuclear species in the presence of strongly coordinating solvents. Compounds Ni1-Ni5 displayed moderate catalytic activities in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones, but with low enantiomeric excess (ee%). Both mercury and substoichiometric poisoning tests pointed to the homogeneous nature of the active species with the partial formation of catalytically active Ni(0) nanoparticles. Low resolution mass spectrometry analyses of the intermediates supported a dihydride mechanistic pathway for the transfer of hydrogenation reactions.

The hydration of terminal olefins to secondary alcohols has been achieved using a Pd(ii)/Ru(ii) catalyst combination with high regioselectivity and yields. Both vinyl arenes and aliphatic olefins can be hydrated easily with the tandem catalyst system using a low catalyst loading of 1 mol%. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.
ALIPHATIC CLAISEN REARRANGEMENT PROMOTED BY ORGANOALUMINIUM REAGENTS.
Takai,Mori,Oshima,Nozaki
, p. 446 - 451 (2007/10/02)
Organoaluminium compounds, R//3Al, promote the Claisen rearrangement of allyl vinyl ether derivatives at room temperature under transfer of R or H as a nucleophile to the aldehydic carbon. Treatment of 1-butyl-2-propenyl vinyl ether with a hexane solution of Me//3Al (1. 0 M, 2. 2 equiv) in CH//2ClCH//2Cl at 25 degree C afforded 5-decen-2-ol (91% yield, E/Z equals 47/53), which was produced by the left bracket 3,3 right bracket sigmatropic rearrangement and successive methylation. The rearrangements with alkynylation, alkenylation, and hydrogenation are also achieved. The regular Claisen rearrangement products, of gamma , delta -unsaturated aldehydes (ketones), are obtained at 25 degree C in good to excellent yields with Et//2AlSPh (2. 5 equiv) or the combination of Et//2AlCl (2. 0 euiv) and PPh//3 (2. 2 equiv).
A NOVEL ZIRCONIUM-CATALYZED HYDROALUMINATION OF OLEFINS
Negishi, Ei-ichi,Yoshida, Tadao
, p. 1501 - 1504 (2007/10/02)
Sterically hindered trialkylalanes, such as triisobutylalane, react with olefins at or below room temperature under the influence of a catalytic amount of Cl2ZrCp2 to effect hydroalumination of the olefins.The reaction can tolerate certain hetero-functional groups, such as OH, SPh and Br, which tend to interfere with previously reported hydroalumination procedures.
