Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

Non-noble metal-based hydrogenation catalysts have limited practical applications because they exhibit low activity, require harsh reaction conditions, and are unstable in air. To overcome these limitations, herein we propose the alloying of non-noble metal nanoparticles with phosphorus as a promising strategy for developing smart catalysts that exhibit both excellent activity and air stability. We synthesized a novel nickel phosphide nanoalloy (nano-Ni2P) with coordinatively unsaturated Ni active sites. Unlike conventional air-unstable non-noble metal catalysts, nano-Ni2P retained its metallic nature in air, and exhibited a high activity for the hydrogenation of various substrates with polar functional groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, and nitroarenes to the desired products in excellent yields in water. Furthermore, the used nano-Ni2P catalyst was easy to handle in air and could be reused without pretreatment, providing a simple and clean catalyst system for general hydrogenation reactions.

Reduction reactions of unsaturated compounds are fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry. In this context, the reduction of polarized double bonds such as carbonyl or C=C motifs can be achieved by hydrogenation reactions. We describe here a highly chemoselective Mn(I)-based PNP pincer catalyst for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones employing polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as inexpensive hydrogen donor.

Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts

A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

In this paper, several Mn(I) complexes were applied as catalysts for the homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones. The most active precatalyst is the bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dippe) (CO)3(CH2CH2CH3)]. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under base-free conditions with a catalyst loading of 3 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar. A temperature-dependent selectivity for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls was observed. At room temperature, the carbonyl group was selectively hydrogenated, while the C=C bond stayed intact. At 60 °C, fully saturated systems were obtained. A plausible mechanism based on DFT calculations which involves an inner-sphere hydride transfer is proposed.
Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol
Topf, Christoph,Vielhaber, Thomas
, (2021/07/10)
We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.

We report a strategy to develop heterogeneous single-site enantioselective catalysts based on naturally occurring amino acids and earth-abundant metals for eco-friendly asymmetric catalysis. The grafting of amino acids within the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), followed by post-synthetic metalation with iron precursor, affords highly active and enantioselective (>99 % ee for 10 examples) catalysts for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of carbonyl compounds. Impressively, the MOF-Fe catalyst displayed high turnover numbers of up to 10 000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times without diminishing the enantioselectivity. MOF-Fe displayed much higher activity and enantioselectivity than its homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of robust single-site catalyst in the MOF through site-isolation.

The Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones with chiral diamine and monodentate achiral phosphine has been developed. A wide range of ketones were hydrogenated to afford the corresponding chiral secondary alcohols in good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98.1% ee). In addition, an appropriate mechanism for the asymmetric hydrogenation was proposed and verified by NMR spectroscopy.

Enzymatic reactions through mononuclear metal hydrides are unknown in nature, despite the prevalence of such intermediates in the reactions of synthetic transition-metal catalysts. If metalloenzymes could react through abiotic intermediates like these, then the scope of enzyme-catalysed reactions would expand. Here we show that zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse hydride transfers from silanes to ketones with high enantioselectivity. We report mechanistic data providing strong evidence that the process involves a mononuclear zinc hydride. This work shows that abiotic silanes can act as reducing equivalents in an enzyme-catalysed process and that monomeric hydrides of electropositive metals, which are typically unstable in protic environments, can be catalytic intermediates in enzymatic processes. Overall, this work bridges a gap between the types of transformation in molecular catalysis and biocatalysis. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
