An atom-economical methodology to access substituted acyl-cyclohexenes from pentamethylacetophenone and 1,5-diols is described. This process is catalyzed by an iridium(I) catalyst in conjunction with a bulky electron rich phosphine ligand (CataCXium A) which favors acceptorless dehydrogenation over conjugate reduction to the corresponding cyclohexane. The reaction produces water and hydrogen gas as the sole byproducts and a wide range of functionalized acyl-cyclohexene products can be synthesized using this method in very high yields. A series of control experiments were carried out, which revealed that the process is initiated by acceptorless dehydrogenation of the diol followed by a redox-neutral cascade process, which is independent of the iridium catalyst. Deuterium labeling studies established that the key step of this cascade involves a novel base-mediated [1,5]-hydride shift. The cyclohexenyl ketone products could readily be cleaved under mildly acidic conditions to access a range of valuable substituted cyclohexene derivatives.

An iridium catalyzed method for the synthesis of functionalized cyclohexanes from methyl ketones and 1,5-diols is described. This process operates by two sequential hydrogen borrowing reactions, providing direct access to multisubstituted cyclic products with high levels of stereocontrol. This methodology represents a novel (5 + 1) strategy for the stereoselective construction of the cyclohexane core.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a high purity polyhydric alcohol by reduction of hemiacetal.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for producing a polyhydric alcohol, which comprises: (I) a step of hydrogenating hemiacetal represented by the following general formula (1) in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to obtain a reaction solution (I); (II) a step of adding an amine or a salt thereof to the reaction solution obtained in the step (I) to obtain a reaction solution (II); and (III) a step of separating a polyhydric alcohol from the reaction solution (II) obtained in the step (II). (wherein, Rto Reach independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group or an aryl group which may have a functional group; and n represents 1 or 2.)
