A generalized, simple and efficient transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds has been developed using HBPin and various proton reagents as hydrogen sources. The substrates, including alkenes, alkynes, aromatic heterocycles, aldehydes, ketones, imines, azo, nitro, epoxy and nitrile compounds, are all applied to this catalytic system. Various groups, which cannot survive under the Pd/C/H2 combination, are tolerated. The activity of the reactants was studied and the trends are as follows: styrene'diphenylmethanimine'benzaldehyde'azobenzene'nitrobenzene'quinoline'acetophenone'benzonitrile. Substrates bearing two or more different unsaturated bonds were also investigated and transfer hydrogenation occurred with excellent chemoselectivity. Nano-palladium catalyst in situ generated from Pd(OAc)2 and HBPin extremely improved the TH efficiency. Furthermore, chemoselective anti-Markovnikov hydrodeuteration of terminal aromatic olefins was achieved using D2O and HBPin via in situ HD generation and discrimination. (Figure presented.).

Acetalization of aldehydes is an area of great importance in Organic Chemistry for both synthetic and biological puproses. Herein, we report a mild, inexpensive and green photochemical protocol, where Schreiner's thiourea (N,N′-bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-thiourea) is utilized as the catalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were converted into acetals in good to high yields (23 examples, 36-96% yield) and an example of the synthesis of a cyclic acetal is provided. The reaction mechanism was also studied.

A mild and green photo-organocatalytic protocol for the highly efficient acetalization of aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthenone as the photocatalyst and inexpensive household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes have been converted into acyclic and cyclic acetals in high yields. The reaction mechanism was extensively studied.

In this work, we have achieved a simple and general method for acetalization of aldehydes by means of a photochemical reaction under low-energy visible light irradiation. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes have been protected under neutral conditions in good to excellent yields using a catalytic amount of Eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Our visible light mediated acetalization strategies are successful for more challenging acid-sensitive aldehydes and sterically hindered aldehydes. Notably, this protocol is chemoselective to aldehydes, while ketones remain intact.

A novel ionic bi-functional ligand of L2 containing a phosphine and a Lewis acidic phosphonium with I- as the counter-anion was prepared and fully characterized. The molecular structure indicated that the bi-functionalities in L2 were well retained without the incompatibility problem for quenching of the acidity of the phosphonium cation by the Lewis basic phosphine fragment or the anionic I- when the incorporated phosphine fragment and the Lewis acidic phosphonium were strictly located in the confined cis-positions. The co-catalysis over L2-Rh(acac)(CO)2 in the ways of synergetic catalysis and sequential catalysis was successfully fulfilled for one-pot hydroformylation-acetalization, which proved not to be the result of the simple mixture of the mono-phosphine (L4) and the phosphonium salt (L4′). In L2, the phosphonium not only acted as a Lewis acid organocatalyst to drive the sequential acetalization of aldehydes, but also contributed to the synergetic catalysis for the preceding hydroformylation through stabilizing the Rh-acyl intermediate with the phosphine cooperatively. The L2-Rh(acac)(CO)2 system is also generally applied to hydroformylation-acetalization of a wide range of olefins in different alcohols. Advantageously, as an ionic phosphonium-based ligand, L2 could be recycled for 7 runs with Rh(acac)(CO)2 together in RTIL of [Bmim]BF4 without obvious activity loss or metal leaching.

A fluorous hydrazine-carbothioate organocatalyst was prepared. Together with NCS, the catalyst showed a good activity in acetalization of aldehydes and alcohols. It could be recovered from the reaction mixture by fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE) with excellent purity for direct reuse.

Structurally distinctive dinuclear Ni(ii) complexes with furan or thiophene tethered amine-pyrazolyl tripodal hybrid ligands have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized. All complexes are catalytically active towards cross-coupling of aryl/alkyl Grignard reagents with β-H containing alkyl halides at room temperature in the presence of N,N,N',N'- tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). The catalytic efficacy of the complexes is dependent on the tether substituent at the central amine. Two species, Ni(ii) TMEDA and Mg(ii) TMEDA complexes, have been isolated from the catalytic reaction mixtures under different conditions. Some ligand-stabilized Ni(ii) and Mg(ii) bimetallic species have also been identified in the ESI-MS spectra.

Hydroformylation of terminal alkenes in alcohol solvents leads to the selective formation of the corresponding acetals. The Xantphos ligand gave the best results as well as acetal selectivities higher than 99% and linear/branched ratios of up to 52 were obtained. The scope of the reaction was studied. Acetals were found to be unreactive under hydroaminomethylation conditions. Copyright
