Stereoselective synthesis of optically active hydrobenzoins via asymmetric hydrogenation of benzils with Ru(OTf)(TsDPEN)(I·6- cymene) as the pre-catalyst

Optically active hydrobenzoins are very important building blocks for further derivation of biologically active complexes, natural products, and pharmaceutical compounds. In this paper, A practical approach has been developed for asymmetric hydrogenation

METHOD OF PRODUCING DIOL, POLYDIOL, SECONDARY ALCOHOL OR DIKETONE COMPOUND

The invention is a process of using, as a reducing agent, a 12CaO·7Al2O3 electride containing electrons in a number of 1019 cm-3 or more and 2.3 × 1021 cm-3 or less in its cages to subject a carbonyl compound to reductive coupling in a solvent, thereby synthesizing a diol or polydiol. The invention is also a process of reducing a ketone compound in a solvent, thereby synthesizing a secondary alcohol or diketone compound. According to the process of the invention, it is possible to synthesize a diol or polydiol, or a secondary alcohol or diketone compound through simple operations in a short period without using an expensive and harmful metal hydride or metal salt nor limiting the atmosphere for the synthesis to an inert gas atmosphere as in conventional processes.

Synthesis of pinacols through electrochemical reduction of carbonyl compounds at platinum cathode in non-aqueous weakly acidic medium

The electrochemical reduction of p-methylacetophenone, m-nitrobenzaldehyde p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was carried out at controlled potential in weakly acidic medium (phenol, pKa = 9.98) for the purpose of investigating this type of reduction as a possible synthetic procedure for the preparation of 1,2-diol (or pinacol). The products formed during electrolysis at constant cathode potential are reported here.
