An iridium-catalyzed highly chemoselective and efficient transfer hydrogenation reduction of structurally diverse nitroalkenes was realized at very low catalyst loading (S/C = up to 10000 or 20?000), using formic acid or sodium formate as a traceless hydride donor in water. Excellent functionality tolerance is also observed. The turnover number and turnover frequency of the catalyst reach as high as 18?600 and 19?200 h-1, respectively. An inert atmosphere protection is not required. The reactivities of nitroalkenes are dependent on their substitution pattern, and the pH value is a key factor to accomplish the complete conversion and excellent chemoselectivity. Purification of products is achieved by simple extraction without column chromatography. The reduction procedure is facilely amplified to 10 g scale at 10?000 S/C ratio. The potential of this green reduction in enantioselective hydrogenation has been demonstrated.

We have previously shown the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of several para-substituted arylnitroalkenes. Since oxidative stress and inflammation are key processes that drive the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, in the present work the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties of an extended library of aryl-nitroaliphatic derivatives, including several newly designed nitroalkanes, was explored. The antioxidant capacity of the nitroaliphatic compounds, measured using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORAC) showed that the p-methylthiophenyl-derivatives were about three times more effective than Trolox to prevent fluorescein oxidation, independently of the presence or the absence of the double bond next to the nitro group. The peroxyl radical scavenger capacity of the p-dimethylaminophenyl-derivatives was even higher, being the reduced form of these compounds even more active. In fact, while the antioxidant capacity of 1-dimethylamino-4-(2-nitro-1Z-ethenyl)benzene and 1-dimethylamino-4-(2-nitro-1Z-propenyl)benzene was 4.2 ± 0.1 and 5.4 ± 0.1 Trolox Eq/mol, respectively; ORAC values obtained with the ethyl and the propyl derivatives were 10 ± 1 and 13 ± 2 Trolox Eq/mol, respectively. The p-dimethylamino-derivatives, especially the nitroalkanes, were also able to prevent LDL oxidation mediated by peroxyl radicals. Oxygen consumption due to the oxidation of fatty acids was delayed in the presence of the dimethylamino substituted compounds, only the alkanes interrupted the chain of lipid oxidations decreasing the rate of oxygen consumption. Although the formation of foam cells in the presence of oxidized-LDL (oxLDL) remained unaffected, the molecules containing the dimethylamino moiety were able to decrease the expression of IL-1β in LPS/INF-γ challenged macrophages.

A range of nitro compounds are smoothly reduced to their corresponding oximes under the synergistic effects of visible light irradiation, the Ru(bpy)3Cl2 photocatalyst, Hünig's base, Mg(ClO 4)2 activation, and MeCN solvent. This remarkably mild and environmentally benign protocol, when orchestrated with classical Beckmann rearrangement, enables such high-value industrial feedstock as caprolactam to be readily accessed from simple precursor nitrocyclohexane.
Reduction of conjugated nitroalkenes with zinc borohydride. A mild method for converting monosubstituted nitroalkenes to nitroalkanes and disubstituted ones to oximes

Mono-β-substituted conjugated nitroalkenes are readily reduced by zinc borohydride in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to the corresponding nitroalkanes, whereas the disubstituted ones furnish the corresponding oximes in excellent yields.

Zinc borohydride in 1,2-dimethoxyethane reduces α-substituted conjugated nitroalkenes to the corresponding oximes and non-α-substituted ones to the corresponding nitroalkanes in excellent yields.
