The highly chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond of conjugated nitroalkenes by a rhodium complex

Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of conjugated nitroalkenes catalyzed by [RhCl2Cp·]2-diamine complex (Cp ·=η5-C5Me5) using HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) (TEAF) as a hydrogen source was realized. A variety of nitrostyrenes, β-methyl nitrostyrenes, and 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-alkenyl- isoxazoles were reduced smoothly in good to excellent yields in short reaction time. Other functional groups are inert under the reaction conditions.

REDUCTION OF AROMATIC NITROALKENES WITH BAKER'S YEAST

Aromatic nitroalkenes were reduced chemoselectively with baker's yeast to give the corresponding nitroalkanes.
